The stability of Abe＇ s approval rates originated from the people＇ s negative support for him and their opposition to the Security Laws and other important events as well as the scandals under his administration. The opposition and negative support originated from the people＇s ＂acquired helplessness＂, ＂Abenomics＂, the sharp drop in the opporttmity costs of voting and other conditions. The sudden fall of Abe＇ s approval rates was not due to the change in the aforementioned conditions, rather because of the collapse of his image including personality owing to Abe＇ s perceived arrogance and his estrangement with the people. In the context of the temporary stabilization of approval rates, Abe dissolved the House of Representatives ahead of schedule and held a general election, taking full advantage of the internal strife between the opposition parties, to achieve his goal of ruling until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. His victory in the recent election does not accurately demonstrate that Abe is completely immune to negative impact, thus he will to use the Korean Peninsula crisis and other issues to demonstrate his ability of safeguarding Japan＇s security, seek reconstruction of his image, and further enhance his approval rate to stabilize his administration.展开更多

文摘Background:Mental health concerns among doctoral students have become increasingly prominent,with consistently low levels of well-being making this issue a critical focus in higher education research.This study aims to synthesize existing evidence on the mental health and well-being of doctoral students and to identify key factors and intervention strategies reported in the literature.Methods:A systematic review was conducted to examine the determinants and interventions related to doctoral students’mental health and well-being.Relevant studies were comprehensively searched in Web of Science,PubMed,Scopus,and EBSCO,with the final search conducted on September 19,2025.Records were screened according to predefined criteria:empirical studies on doctoral students’mental health or well-being published in English were included,while non-empirical,non-English,and non-doctoral-student-focused studies were excluded.A total of 56 studies were included after rigorous screening.Results:Doctoral students’mental health and well-being are shaped by multiple interacting factors across individual,academic,interpersonal,organizational,and environmental levels.Moreover,variations in gender,identity,discipline,study stage,and institutional context may further exacerbate or mitigate psychological distress.Existing intervention studies primarily focus on three approaches:psychologically oriented training,practice-based behavioral and learning programs,and relationship-or support network-based initiatives.Conclusion:This review offers integrated evidence on doctoral students’mental health and well-being and highlights the need for universities to assume greater responsibility in developing systematic and responsive support mechanisms.Current research remains limited by insufficient cross-cultural comparison,a lack of intersectional perspectives,and a scarcity of large-scale,long-term evaluations of intervention effectiveness.Future studies should give greater attention to institutional contexts and vulnerable groups while expanding the scope and rigor of intervention research.
文摘In this editorial,we comment on the study of the Yu et al on psychological distress in patients with hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies.Hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies include hepatocellular carcinoma,cholangiocarcinoma,gallbladder cancer and pancreatic cancer.These cancers are among the most aggressive and difficult to treat.Although improvements in surgery,drug treatments and palliative care have led to better survival rates and quality of life,the significant psychological impact on patients remains underrecognized.Anxiety and depression are prevalent at every stage of the disease,from the initial diagnosis to treatment,recurrence and end-of-life care.However,these issues often take a backseat to the urgent need to manage physical symptoms.Mental health challenges can greatly affect how well patients follow treatment plans,recover and their overall outlook.Yu et al explore the causes of psychological distress in hepatobiliary and pancreatic cancers,including disease severity,symptom burden,financial stress and fears about life and death.We highlight the importance of regular mental health screenings,psychological support and teamwork in oncology care.By focusing on emotional health alongside physical treatment,doctors can build resilience,improve outcomes and address a frequently ignored aspect of cancer care.
文摘Objectives:One of the most notable challenges in endoscopic procedures is maintaining correct orientation.Mental rotation exercise(MRE)has been suggested as a potential aid for improving orientation.However,there is a lack of research on designing MREs with varying difficultylevels for training purposes.Furthermore,few studies provide solid evidence linking MRE difficultylevels with cognitive load measurements.This study aims to address this gap by investigating the correlation between the MRE difficultylevels and participants’cognitive load,as measured by pupil dilation.Method:We recruited 33 participants to perform MREs on a computer equipped with a screen-mounted eye-tracker.The test consisted of 15 MREs,with the first10 relatively easy(traditional cube)and the next 5 more complex(invented molecule).The participants’eye movements during MREs were recorded.The participants’MRE scores and pupil dilation were obtained and compared between two MRE difficultylevels.Results:The participants who performed traditional cube MREs achieved significantlybetter MRE scores(0.77±0.11 vs.0.58±0.03,p<0.001)and lower pupil dilation(0.27±0.04 pixels vs.0.47±0.09 pixels,p<0.001)than did those who performed the invented molecule MREs.Moreover,there were significant negative correlations(r=0.62,p=0.015)between pupil dilation and MRE scores.Conclusions:The results revealed a significantnegative correlation between MRE scores and pupil dilation.The more challenging MRE questions led to worse MRE scores but increased pupil dilation.The MRE difficultylevels can be evaluated not only by the degrees or dimensions with which the objects were rotated but also by the participants’MRE scores and pupil dilation.The results of this study provide a basis for training orientation skills in endoscopy using MREs.By incorporating MREs with varying difficultylevels,customized training programs can be developed to enhance camera navigation in endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures.
文摘Objectives:24-h movement behaviors(24-HMB),encompassing physical activity,sedentary behavior,and sleep duration,are increasingly regarded as interrelated and important factors for mental health.However,evidence on the comprehensive association of these behaviors with mental health in adults with diabetes in developing countries remains scarce.This study examined the association between 24-HMB guidelines and psychological health among adults with diabetes in developing countries.Methods:Data were retrieved from the World Health Organization’s study on Global Aging and Adult Health Survey dataset.Adults(N=1905)diagnosed with diabetes from five low-and middle-income countries were included.The exposure of interest was adherence to 24-HMB guidelines,depression,cognition,and quality of life(QoL).Multiple logistic and multiple linear regression analyses were used to examine the association between meeting 24-HMB guidelines and depression,cognition,and QoL,respectively.Results:This cross-sectional study revealed that 28.61%complied with all three 24-HMB guidelines.Diabetic patients who met more numbers of 24-HMB guidelines had lower depression risk(OR=0.74,95%CI:0.61 to 0.91,p=0.004),greater cognition(β=0.42,95%CI:0.25 to 0.60,p<0.001),and QoL(β=1.30,95%CI:1.04 to 1.55,p<0.001)with the non-compliant population.For specific combinations,meeting all three guidelines were significantly associated with lower odds of depression,improved cognitive function,and enhanced QoL(all p<0.001).Conclusion:These findings support that meeting 24-HMB guidelines in a single or combined movement behaviors was significantly related to reduced risk of depression,enhanced cognitive function,and improved QoL among individuals with diabetes.
文摘[Objectives]To investigate the potential causal relationship between psoriasis and common mental disorders,and to provide genetic epidemiological evidence for the early intervention of mental comorbidities.[Methods]Based on publicly available large-scale GWAS data,a bidirectional Mendelian randomization(MR)approach was employed to assess the causal associations between psoriasis and major depressive disorder(MDD),bipolar disorder,schizophrenia,and anxiety disorders.The inverse variance weighted(IVW)method served as the primary analytical tool,supplemented by sensitivity analyses using MR-Egger and weighted median methods.Additionally,a subgroup analysis was conducted for psoriatic arthritis(PsA).[Results]Forward MR analysis revealed a significant positive causal association between the genetic predisposition to psoriasis and bipolar disorder as well as MDD,whereas no significant causal relationship was observed with schizophrenia or anxiety disorders.The reverse MR analysis found no causal effect of mental disorders on psoriasis.Subgroup analysis of PsA indicated that its genetic predisposition was significantly associated with the risk of bipolar disorder.The results of various sensitivity analyses and pleiotropy tests supported the robustness of the conclusions.[Conclusions]This study provides genetic evidence supporting a causal link between psoriasis and both MDD and bipolar disorder.In particular,patients with PsA are at a higher risk of developing bipolar disorder,highlighting the need to strengthen early screening and intervention for mental health in clinical management.
文摘Objectives:In recent years,mental health has emerged as a pressing public health concern in China,driven by mounting societal pressures and fast-paced urban lifestyles.Physical activity,a well-established means of enhancing psychological well-being,has received growing scholarly and policy attention.This study uses panel data from the 2020 and 2022 waves of the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)to examine the impact of exercise frequency on mental health(with indicators such as CESD-8 depression scores)among college students and young employees,thereby providing empirical support for targeted mental health interventions.Methods:This study examines the relationship between individual exercise frequency and mental health among college students and young employees,using panel data from the 2020 and 2022 waves of the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS),with the Chinese version of the 8-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CESD-8)depression scores,self-rated health,and life satisfaction as outcome variables.Specifically,this study tests three hypotheses:(H1)increased exercise frequency significantly reduces depression symptoms and enhances well-being;(H2)the effects of exercise vary by social roles,with stronger mental health benefits among employed individuals and those with lower education;and(H3)lifestyle factors such as smoking amount,sleep duration,and Body Mass Index(BMI)partially mediate the relationship between exercise and mental health.Employing a two-way fixed effects model,baseline results indicate that a one-unit increase in exercise frequency significantly reduces the CESD-8 score by 0.183 points.To address potential endogeneity and spurious regression concerns,an instrumental variable(IV)approach is further applied.The heterogeneity analysis differentiates between students and employed individuals.Results:Among students,the effects of exercise on mental health are not statistically significant,regardless of education level.In contrast,for the employed,exercise demonstrates a significant positive impact on mental health,with particularly pronounced effects among those with lower educational attainment.These findings underscore the importance of promoting exercise as part of comprehensive mental health strategies.Mediation analysis indicates that the beneficial effect of exercise on mental health is partially transmitted through reductions in adverse health behaviors,especially smoking.Conclusions:Policymakers should integrate physical activity promotion into health interventions,prioritizing vulnerable groups to enhance psychological resilience and foster inclusive,health-oriented development.

文摘The rise in urbanization has increasingly restricted access to natural environments,posing substantial risks to the physical and mental health of urban populations,including university students and other high-stress groups.This study examines the comparative effects of outdoor forest meditation(OFM)and indoor nature meditation(INM)in simulated nature environments(SNEs)on the physiological and psychological health of university students.A pretestposttest repeated measures design was employed,with 40students participating in three replicated OFM sessions and three identical INM sessions across varied SNE settings.Key physiological metrics,including heart rate(HR),blood pressure(BP),and salivary amylase concentration(SAC),were measured before and after each session.Psychological well-being was assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale-10(PSS-10)and Profile of Mood States(POMS).Results revealed significant reductions(p<0.05)in most post-intervention outcomes,except in the second indoor session across physiologic al and psychologic al responses,while multi-sensory INM sessions produced comparable benefits.Notably,SNEs with enhanced sensory components were effective,though slightly less impactful than OFM.These findings suggest that both OFM in nature and INM in SNEs can benefit university students'well-being.INM in SNEs offers a promising alternative for those with limited access to natural settings,contributing meaningfully to stress reduction and overall well-being.This study highlights the potential for nature-based strategies for human health in urban centres,advocating for further investigation into the long-term impacts of SNEs and optimal sensory configurations for maximizing therapeutic effects in urban populations.
文摘Background:Depression is prevalent among female college students,with eating behavior potentially related to this issue.This study examines the relationship between eating behavior and depression,focusing on the role of social appearance anxiety and physical activity.Methods:We recruited 2161 female college students from nine universities in China via convenience sampling.Data was collected via an online questionnaire.Eating behavior was assessed via the Eating Behavior Scale short form(EBS-SF),depression was measured via the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale(CES-D),social appearance anxiety was evaluated via the Social Appearance Anxiety Scale,and physical activity was assessed via a single-item question.Descriptive statistics were analyzed via SPSS 26.0,and moderated mediation analysis was conducted via PROCESS version 3.5.Results:Unhealthy eating behavior was significantly associated with higher levels of depression(β=0.285,p<0.001).Social appearance anxiety mediated this relationship,accounting for 46%of the total effect(β=0.132,95%CI=[0.108,0.158]).The interaction effect between eating behavior and physical activity was significantly and negatively correlated with depression(β=−0.052,p<0.01).The association between eating behavior and depression was stronger under conditions of low physical activity(β=0.210,p<0.001)than under conditions of high physical activity(β=0.105,p<0.001).Conclusions:Integrating nutritional guidance,body image acceptance training,and exercise promotion into campus mental health programs is crucial for addressing depression in female college students.Future research should use longitudinal designs and broader participant ranges to increase the general applicability of the findings.
