Its aim is to identify the unconscious factors of pathological travel among migrants. Pathological travel, as discussed in the scientific literature on psychopathology, is characterised by movements initiated under the influence of delusions, hallucinations or other serious psychiatric disorders. The aim of this research is to contribute to our understanding of how these unconscious factors influence migration decisions. Using a retrospective analysis of five cases, this study examines the psychological and psychiatric dimensions of migration, particularly among patients referred to the psychiatry department of the Niamey National Hospital between 2017 and 2018. The five cases analysed, representing 12% of a cohort of 40 migrant patients, suffered from chronic psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and chronic hallucinatory psychosis. By means of diagnostic interviews and categorical sorting, three main unconscious motivations were identified: the delusional state with themes of filiation and persecution, the hallucinations that dictated the travel behaviour, and the dissociative states manifested by depersonalisation and derealisation. It also emerges from this analysis that pathological travel often involves prolonged journeys on foot and without purpose. Thus, untreated mental illness plays a significant role in shaping and influencing individual and social behaviour. The results of this study have important implications for public health and migration policy. They highlight the need to integrate health assessments into migration management systems, particularly in regions serving as transit hubs for migrants. The research also highlights the need for culturally sensitive psychiatric interventions to address the interaction between pre-existing mental disorders and migration. This study contributes to a better understanding of the psychological dimensions of migration by highlighting the importance of addressing mental health as an integral part of humanitarian action. The knowledge gained paves the way for future research to explore this understudied aspect of migration on a broader scale.展开更多

文摘This study investigates the psychological and cultural motivations that underpin charitable giving in Sri Lanka,with particular attention to whether such behaviour can be considered genuinely altruistic.While charitable acts are commonly perceived as selfless,this research highlights the complex and often contradictory nature of the motivations involved.Using a qualitative approach,semi-structured interviews were conducted with individuals who regularly engage in charitable activities.Thematic analysis revealed three overarching categories of motivation.The first,obliged motives stem from social expectations and religious duty.The second,independent motives reflect personal values and intrinsic satisfaction.The third,ambivalent motives are a novel category that captures the simultaneous interplay between self-serving and other-oriented intentions.The emergence of ambivalent motives is especially significant,as it challenges binary distinctions between altruism and egoism,suggesting that charitable giving frequently serves psychological,social,and existential needs alongside prosocial goals.The findings support established psychological frameworks such as Self-Determination Theory and the Theory of Planned Behavior,while also highlighting the unique cultural dynamics of Sri Lankan society,particularly the influence of Buddhist ethics and collectivist values.These cultural factors shape both the meaning and practice of giving,embedding it within broader narratives of moral obligation,social harmony,and spiritual merit.Ultimately,the study concludes that while charitable giving in Sri Lanka may outwardly appear altruistic,it is often driven by a complex mixture of internal and external motives,suggesting that authenticity in giving is rarely absolute but rather contextually and psychologically mediated.
文摘This study aims to explore the unconscious motivations underlying migration in Niger, with an emphasis on understanding the phenomenon of pathological travel. Its aim is to identify the unconscious factors of pathological travel among migrants. Pathological travel, as discussed in the scientific literature on psychopathology, is characterised by movements initiated under the influence of delusions, hallucinations or other serious psychiatric disorders. The aim of this research is to contribute to our understanding of how these unconscious factors influence migration decisions. Using a retrospective analysis of five cases, this study examines the psychological and psychiatric dimensions of migration, particularly among patients referred to the psychiatry department of the Niamey National Hospital between 2017 and 2018. The five cases analysed, representing 12% of a cohort of 40 migrant patients, suffered from chronic psychotic disorders, including schizophrenia and chronic hallucinatory psychosis. By means of diagnostic interviews and categorical sorting, three main unconscious motivations were identified: the delusional state with themes of filiation and persecution, the hallucinations that dictated the travel behaviour, and the dissociative states manifested by depersonalisation and derealisation. It also emerges from this analysis that pathological travel often involves prolonged journeys on foot and without purpose. Thus, untreated mental illness plays a significant role in shaping and influencing individual and social behaviour. The results of this study have important implications for public health and migration policy. They highlight the need to integrate health assessments into migration management systems, particularly in regions serving as transit hubs for migrants. The research also highlights the need for culturally sensitive psychiatric interventions to address the interaction between pre-existing mental disorders and migration. This study contributes to a better understanding of the psychological dimensions of migration by highlighting the importance of addressing mental health as an integral part of humanitarian action. The knowledge gained paves the way for future research to explore this understudied aspect of migration on a broader scale.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive nursing based on protection motivation theory in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods:The study period was from August 2023 to May 2025.During this period,40 elderly patients with hypertension who visited the hospital were selected and divided into an observation group(comprehensive nursing based on protection motivation theory,n=20)and a control group(routine nursing,n=20)based on a random number table method.Nursing indicators were compared between the two groups.Results:After nursing,the diastolic blood pressure(80.12±2.31 mmHg)and systolic blood pressure(136.05±3.47 mmHg)in the observation group were significantly different from those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of health behaviors(nutrition,exercise,health responsibility,and psychological comfort)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).After nursing,the scores of compliance and negative emotional indicators in the observation group were better than those in the control group(P<0.05).The scores of psychological function(66.31±5.84),physical function(66.57±6.28),material function(61.85±6.21),and social function(69.51±7.25)in the observation group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:During the treatment of elderly patients with hypertension,the application of a comprehensive nursing program based on protection motivation theory is beneficial for regulating blood pressure levels,significantly improving health behaviors and quality of life,alleviating negative emotions,and improving treatment compliance to some extent.This approach is feasible for promotion.
文摘Anxiety,motivation,and strategy have long been seen as critical in second language acquisition.This study presents a systematic review of the literature on these variables in terms of their relationship with one another,their effects on learning outcomes,and how they are affected by technology-assisted tools in the teaching of Chinese as a second language.This study includes 24 articles for the review study based on the criteria and process of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol(PRISMA-P)and the clustering techniques of VOSviewer.It is found that 1)anxiety,motivation,and strategy were interrelated,that is,motivation was negatively associated with anxiety but positively related to strategy,while strategy could positively predict anxiety;2)anxiety could both positively and negatively affect learning outcomes,while motivation and strategy could both positively and insignificantly influence learning outcomes;3)the technology-assisted tools used in the classroom could both positively and negatively affect the levels of these variables and learning outcomes in the L2 Chinese context.The need to explore more complicated relationships between language-specific individual variables themselves and other possible factors that affect these variables,such as cultural ones,are also discussed for future research.
文摘Cardiac rehabilitation is a crucial multidisciplinary approach to improve patient outcomes.There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that these programs contribute towards reducing cardiovascular mortality and recurrence.Despite this,cardiac rehabilitation is underutilized and adherence to these programs has been a demonstrated barrier in achieving these outcomes.As a result,there is a growing focus on innovating these programs,especially from the standpoint of digital health and personalized medicine.This editorial discusses the possible roles of large language models,such as their role in ChatGPT,in further personalizing cardiac rehabilitation programs through simplifying medical jargon and employing motivational interviewing techniques,thus boosting patient engagement and adherence.However,these possibilities must be further investigated in the clinical literature.Likewise,the integration of large language models in cardiac rehabilitation will be challenging in its nascent stages to ensure accurate and ethical information delivery.
文摘With the continuous advancement of artificial intelligence(AI)technology,personalized learning systems are increasingly applied in higher education.Particularly within STEM(Science,Technology,Engineering,and Mathematics)education,AI demonstrates significant advantages through adaptive learning pathways,instant feedback,and individualized resource allocation.However,current research predominantly focuses on the technical architecture and application effectiveness of such systems,with insufficient exploration of how AI-enabled personalized learning systems influence university students’learning motivation and academic achievement through educational psychological mechanisms.This paper adopts an educational psychology perspective to construct a causal mechanism model linking“learning motivation-learning behavior-academic achievement.”Findings indicate that AI-powered personalized learning systems enhance learning autonomy,boost self-efficacy,and optimize feedback mechanisms.These effects collectively stimulate university students’learning motivation in STEM disciplines,thereby promoting academic achievement.Building upon empirical research,this paper proposes implications for educational practice and policy formulation,emphasizing the necessity of advancing higher education reform through the dual influence of technology and psychological mechanisms.

文摘Based on previous experience,learning to avoid or seek certain specific stimuli again in the future is crucial for survival.Our brains are wired to assign a particular valence-either positive or negativeas a result of sensory stimuli,and it is this valence that serves as the foundational motivation for our subsequent actions.Simply put,all motivational actions fall into two categories:pleasure-seeking behavior guided by positive emotional valence,and pain-avoiding behavior driven by negative emotional valence[1].The ability to shift from one emotional valence to another is an important characteristic of affective states,while the instability of emotional states underlies many psychiatric disorders,highlighting the clinical importance of managing and understanding these fluctuations.This ability to adapt emotional responses can be attained by modulating the gain across distinct neural pathways,thus enabling the nuanced and smooth assignment of valence through the strengthening or weakening of circuit activity[1,2].

文摘Despite great achievement has been made in autonomous driving technologies,autonomous vehicles(AVs)still exhibit limitations in intelligence and lack social coordination,which is primarily attributed to their reliance on single-agent technologies,neglecting inter-AV interactions.Current research on multi-agent autonomous driving(MAAD)predominantly focuses on either distributed individual learning or centralized cooperative learning,ignoring the mixed-motive nature of MAAD systems,where each agent is not only self-interested in reaching its own destination but also needs to coordinate with other traffic participants to enhance efficiency and safety.Inspired by the mixed motivation of human driving behavior and their learning process,we propose a novel mixed motivation driven social multi-agent reinforcement learning method for autonomous driving.In our method,a multi-agent reinforcement learning(MARL)algorithm,called Social Learning Policy Optimization(SoLPO),which takes advantage of both the individual and social learning paradigms,is proposed to empower agents to rapidly acquire self-interested policies and effectively learn socially coordinated behavior.Based on the proposed SoLPO,we further develop a mixed-motive MARL method for autonomous driving combined with a social reward integration module that can model the mixed-motive nature of MAAD systems by integrating individual and neighbor rewards into a social learning objective for improved learning speed and effectiveness.Experiments conducted on the MetaDrive simulator show that our proposed method outperforms existing state-of-the-art MARL approaches in metrics including the success rate,safety,and efficiency.More-over,the AVs trained by our method form coordinated social norms and exhibit human-like driving behavior,demonstrating a high degree of social coordination.
