文摘BACKGROUND Death anxiety(DA)is a prevalent psychological challenge among oncology nurses that affects their emotional well-being and professional competence in coping with death-related situations.Death-related attitudes and resilience are critical factors that may mediate the relationship between DA and coping with death competence(CDC).However,few studies have examined the chain-mediating effect of these factors among Chinese oncology nurses.This study aimed to investigate the association between DA and CDC among Chinese oncology nurses,with a focus on the mediating roles of death attitude and resilience.AIM To investigate the association between DA and CDC among Chinese oncology nurses.using an electronic questionnaire distributed in Wenjuanxing,China.In total,615 valid responses were obtained.The participants completed the Templer death anxiety scale,death attitude profile-revised,Connor-Davidson resilience scale,and coping with death scale.A chain mediation analysis was performed using the PROCESS macro in SPSS to examine the relationships between these variables.RESULTS The findings indicated that DA had a significant direct effect on CDC[effect=0.201,95%confidence interval(CI):0.112-0.322].In addition to this direct effect,three significant indirect pathways were observed:(1)Death attitude(effect=0.118,95%CI:0.056-0.163);(2)Resilience(effect=0.108,95%CI:0.032-0.176);and(3)A sequential mediation pathway involving both death attitude and resilience(effect=0.071,95%CI:0.042-0.123).The total indirect effects of the three mediation paths accounted for 29.7%of the relationship between DA and CDC.CONCLUSION Using a chain mediation model,this study explored the mechanisms linking DA,death attitude,resilience,and CDC among Chinese oncology nurses.These findings highlighted the crucial role of death attitude and resilience in mediating the relationship between DA and CDC.Interventions aimed at fostering adaptive attitudes toward death and enhancing resilience may improve nurses’ability to cope with death-related stressors,ultimately benefiting their psychological well-being and professional competence.
文摘Amidst the unique challenges faced by rural educators is their sense of decent work influenced by levels of social support,career self-efficacy,and marginalization.To investigate these relationships,we surveyed 435 rural school teachers(females=69.32%,mean years teaching experience=13.6,SD=7.7 years).The Structural Equation Modeling results indicated that social support positively predicts teachers’perceptions of decent work.Career self-efficacy mediated the relationship between social support and a higher sense of decent work,while marginalization mediated the relationship such that lower social support predicted lower perceptions of decent work.Career self-efficacy and marginalization also had a sequential mediation relationship:higher social support enhanced career self-efficacy,which in turn reduced marginalization experiences,ultimately improving teachers’perceptions of decent work.These findings align with the predictions of Social Cognitive Career Theory and the Psychology of Working Theory,demonstrating that environmental supports enhance personal psychological resources,reduce marginalization risks,and promote positive work-related outcomes.The study findings highlight the necessity for education departments to improve rural teachers’perceptions of decent work by providing social support to foster positive work experiences for teachers at high risk for marginalization and diminished career self-efficacy.

文摘Solar interfacial evaporation(SIE),is currently one of the most potential water supply technologies in the remote,insular,and disaster-stricken areas.However,the existence of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)in water deteriorates the distillate quality,threatening human health.Herein,we constructed a carbonbased bimetallic(C/FeCo)photothermal membrane by electrospinning technique.Results illustrated that the membrane can catalytically degrade VOCs during SIE with persulfate(PDS)mediation.PDS,as well as phenol,was mainly reacted on the interface of the photothermal membrane instead of in the bulk solution.The interception efficiency of phenol achieved nearly 100%using the C/FeCo membrane during SIE.Hydroxyl radical(•OH),sulfate radical(SO_(4)•−),superoxide radical(O_(2)•−),and singlet oxygen(^(1)O_(2))were identified as the main active substances to degrade VOCs.We also conducted SIE experiments using actual river water to evaluate the practical performance of the C/FeCo membrane.This work holds the promise of VOCs interception during SIE and enlarges the application of solar distillation in water/wastewater treatment.

文摘Background:Resilience is crucial for medical college students to thrive in the highly stressful environment of medical education.However,the prevalence of problematic internet use(PIU)in this population may negatively impact their resilience.This study investigated the influence of problematic online gaming(PG)and problematic social media use(PSMU)on the resilience of medical college students in China.Methods:A sample of 5075 first-year medical college students from four Chinese universities was studied.PG served as the independent variable,resilience as the dependent variable,fatigue as the mediator,and PSMU as the moderator.Structural equation modeling was conducted using LISREL 8.80.Additionally,a moderated mediation model was evaluated using the jAMM module in jamovi 2.6.13.Results:The study’s findings revealed significant negative correlations between resilience and the variables of PG,PSMU,and fatigue.Fatigue mediated the relationship between PG and resilience(B=−0.04,95%CI=[−0.05,−0.03]).PSMU moderated the direct relationship between PG and resilience with the interaction term PG×PSMU significant(B=−0.004,t=−6.501,p<0.001)and the first stage(PG→fatigue)of the mediation with PG×PSMU significant(B=0.055,t=8.351,p<0.001).The detrimental effects of PG on resilience were more pronounced among individuals with lower levels of PSMU.Conclusion:This study concluded that addressing PIU,particularly PG,is essential for fostering resilience in medical college students.While PSMU itself is maladaptive,the underlying social media engagement may serve a protective role through social support in mitigating the adverse effects of PG on resilience.

文摘BACKGROUND Emotional reactions,such as anxiety,irritability,and aggressive behavior,have attracted clinical attention as behavioral and emotional problems in preschool-age children.AIM To investigate the current status of family rearing,parental stress,and behavioral and emotional problems of preschool children and to analyze the mediating effect of the current status of family rearing on parental stress and behavioral/emo-tional problems.METHODS We use convenience sampling to select 258 preschool children in the physical examination center of our hospital from October 2021 to September 2023.The children and their parents were evaluated using a questionnaire survey.Pearson's correlation was used to analyze the correlation between child behavioral and emotional problems and parental stress and family rearing,and the structural equation model was constructed to test the mediating effect.RESULTS The score for behavioral/emotional problems of 258 preschool children was(27.54±3.63),the score for parental stress was(87.64±11.34),and the score for parental family rearing was(31.54±5.24).There was a positive correlation between the behavioral and emotional problems of the children and the“hostile/mandatory”parenting style;meanwhile,showed a negative correlation with the“support/participation”parenting style(all P<0.05).The intermediary effect value between the family upbringing of parents in parental stress and children's behavior problems was 29.89%.CONCLUSION Parental family upbringing has a mediating effect between parental stress and behavioral and emotional problems of children.Despite paying attention to the behavioral and emotional problems of preschool-age children,clinical medical staff should provide correct and reasonable parenting advice to their parents to promote the mental health of preschool-age children.
文摘Aldehydes are valuable intermediates with widespread industrial applications,and their traditional synthesis relies on chemical oxidation that is often hazardous and environmentally unfriendly.Electrochemical oxidation offers a more sustainable and milder alternative;however,it faces challenges such as aldehyde overoxidation and susceptibility to base-catalyzed Cannizzaro disproportionation.Electrochemical glycerol oxidation to glyceraldehyde is a representative example,which typically requires precious metal-based electrocatalysts but still suffers from low selectivity and activity.Here,we report a metal-free oxidation strategy mediated by 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl.By systematically investigating the redox thermodynamics and kinetics of TEMPO across a broad pH range,we construct a Pourbaix diagram and elucidate the relative kinetics of each reaction step.These insights allow us to explain the anomalously high apparent Faradaic efficiency(~200%)observed under acidic conditions,and identify neutral media as the optimal environment for selective glyceraldehyde production.Under optimized conditions,our system achieves a glyceraldehyde Faradaic efficiency exceeding 93%and a partial current density of 23.3 mA cm^(-2)at 0.57 V—more than doubling the performance of the best reported precious metal-based systems.Furthermore,the versatility of this strategy extends to the selective oxidation of other primary alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes with near-unity selectivity.

文摘Background:The phenomenon of academic anxiety has been demonstrated to exert a considerable influence on students’academic engagement,leading to the emergence of a phenomenon known as“learned helplessness”and undermining the selfconfidence and motivation of high school students.Using acceptance-rejection theory,this study elucidated how a rejective parenting style affects Chinese high school students’academic anxiety and explored the urban-rural heterogeneity of this relationship.Methods:Data were analyzed using a stratified whole-cluster random sampling method.There are a total of 30,000 high school students in the three regions of northern and central China(from Shanxi,Hebei and Henan).A sample of 2286 high school students aged 14–19 years was ultimately selected from 2760 respondents for this investigation,which was conducted at the beginning of the 2023 school year.Pearson correlation,ordinary least squares(OLS)regression analysis,path analysis,and Fisher’s permutation test(FPT)were used to examine the effects of rejective parenting style on high school students’academic anxiety.Results:Results indicated a significant positive predictive effect between rejective parenting style and academic anxiety among high school students(β=0.815,t=116.211,p<0.001).Students’self-concept was significantly positively related to positive coping style(β=0.424,t=21.208,p<0.001)and chain-mediated this relationship.Therefore,this parenting style may indirectly mitigate academic anxiety through these mediators.The study also found that the effect of rejective parenting style on academic anxiety varied by students’residential background and was more pronounced in urban areas(0.226)than in rural areas(0.130).Conclusion:The research underscores the imperative for Chinese families to reexamine their utilization of rejection parenting and to prioritize the cultivation of students’intrinsic attributes.These findings offer a theoretical framework and practical evidence for policymakers and educators to develop efficacious and targeted interventions.In particular,greater attention should be directed towards the discrepancies in the manifestation of emotional and academic anxiety between urban and rural students,and prompt guidance should be furnished.
文摘Under the dual driven forces of soaring disputes and national policy,the dispute resolution ecosystem of China showed the mediation centralism,and the revival of mediation presented the characteristics of adversary system.In order to comply with the modern rule of law system,the traditional mediation is incorporated into the modern legal system through the three-level transformation of"discipline of laws","introduction of procedures"and"specialized cultivation",which was promoted by the popularity of social governance,the input of the idea of diversified solutions and the pragmatic impetus under the pressure of social transformation.The mediation movement has the characteristics of both consciousness of pragmatism and the initial legalization,but will also face the mediation disorder.The remodeling of mediation must be rooted in systematization and modernization.Its development trend includes expansion of fields,symbiosis of autonomy and specialization,and mandatory introduction.
文摘Mediation is becoming more and more important in the process of settling conflict nowadays,so it’s quite necessary to explain the legal value of mediation from the view of jurisprudence.
文摘China has signed the United Nations Convention on International Settlement Agreements Resultingfrom Mediation 9 namely the Singapore Convention on Mediation,on August 7,2019,making it possible for China's domestic courts to resolve international commercial disputes by implementing settlement agreements resulting from international commercial mediation.Relying on the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI),numerous commercial mediation organizations have successively established and integrated mediation into the international commercial dispute resolution mechanism in making effort for the internationalization of China's commercial mediation system under the background of improving diversified dispute resolution mechanisms.Based on the status quo of commercial mediation in China,this article focuses on the connection and convergence between China's practice and the principle of the Convention,as well as discusses the rationality for its ratification.
