文摘Payment for Ecosystem Services(PES)has been widely acknowledged as an effective tool for mitigating grassland degradation and enhancing ecosystem services provision.However,critical factors,such as herders'willingness to accept(WTA)preferences and compensation expectations,are often overlooked,leading to insufficient effectiveness of PES initiatives.This study focused on grassland ecological compensation policy(GECP),quantifying herders'WTA compensation for grassland grazing bans.Through face-to-face surveys and employing the contingent valuation method,we estimated households'WTA for participating in a grassland conservation program to bolster ecosystem service provision.Our findings indicated that herders required an average compensation of 237 CNY mu^(-1)yr^(-1)to engage in the grazing ban program.Notably,herders'environmental awareness positively influenced their willingness to participate,whereas larger family sizes were negatively correlated with WTA.Additionally,herders in better health,with higher livestock incomes or categorized as semi-herders,tended to accept lower compensation levels.These insights are crucial for improving the effectiveness of GECP and provide valuable reference points for similar analyses in economically disadvantaged and ecologically fragile regions.
文摘The advancement of generative AI has reshaped EFL education,particularly in EFL writing.This qualitative case study investigates the perceptions of Chinese college students and EFL teachers towards the integration of Gen AI in EFL writing.The research involved semi-structured interviews with 13 students and 10 EFL teachers.Thematic analysis,guided by the Technology Acceptance Model(TAM),was employed to analyze the qualitative data.The findings reveal the perceptions of students and teachers regarding the role of generative AI in EFL writing.Regarding usefulness,students appreciate Gen AI for reducing writing difficulty and enhancing efficiency,though some note that it may produce logical flaws and misinformation.Teachers share similar perceptions,but stress effectiveness depends on students’language level.Some teachers also advocate traditional writing initially to build foundational skills.On the ease of use,most students find it easy interacting with Gen AI but mention dialogical understanding challenges.Both students and teachers stress clear prompts are crucial,indicating“AI interaction literacy”should be part of teaching.Moreover,teachers worry that Gen AI’s ease of use may lead to over-reliance.These results reveal contradicting goals of using Gen AI:students value efficiency,while teachers focus on ability cultivation.These insights guide more effective integration of Gen AI in EFL writing education.
文摘BACKGROUND Acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)is a third-generation therapy that appears to be a promising psychological intervention for psychotic disorders.While several systematic reviews and meta-analyses that address the efficacy of ACT for psychosis have been conducted,no systematic review has specifically focused on the application of ACT to the early stages of psychosis.AIM To review the state of the art regarding the feasibility and efficacy of treating early psychosis(EP)with ACT-based interventions.METHODS First,we describe the foundations of the ACT model to provide the background required to contextualize the main objective of this review.Second,we searched the PubMed and PsycINFO databases for studies published up to January 2025 and identified eight studies that met our selection criteria.The systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines and the critical appraisal checklist provided by the Joanna Briggs Institute for randomized controlled trials(RCTs).RESULTS All studies were published after 2019.Among the reviewed studies,five were RCTs with a total combined sample of 399 nonoverlapping participants.The methodological quality was moderate for RCTs.The results showed that ACTbased treatments are feasible and improve psychotic symptoms,medication adherence,and global functioning in patients with EP.Furthermore,preliminary evidence exists for the benefits of group-based and online-delivered programs and those that combine face-to-face therapy with novel real-time digital interventions,such as“ecological momentary intervention”,to apply therapeutic con cepts to real life.CONCLUSION ACT-based treatments in the early stages of psychosis are feasible and improve symptoms,treatment adherence,and self-care skills.Although promising,these results are inconclusive.Further research is required.
文摘BACKGROUND Military personnel frequently face unique psychological challenges due to highstress environments,which increase the risk of mental health issues like anxiety and depression.Acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT)has shown potential in addressing these issues by enhancing psychological flexibility and resilience.AIM To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of ACT in improving the mental health of military personnel.Through a scoping review and meta-analysis,we quantitatively assess the impact of ACT on psychological outcomes,guiding future research and clinical practice.METHODS Relevant literature was searched systematically from database inception to June 30,2023,across multiple databases,including PubMed,Web of Science,Cochrane Library,and Embase.The Joanna Briggs Institute's(JBI)scoping review guidelines were used as the methodological framework.Meta-analysis was performed using a random-effects model,and publication bias was assessed through Egger's regression test and Begg's funnel plot.RESULTS Twenty-six studies were included,highlighting the application of ACT in addressing PTSD,chronic pain,anxiety,and depression among military personnel.The meta-analysis of eight studies demonstrated a significant positive effect of ACT on mental health,with a pooled mean difference of-4.99(95%CI:-6.53 to-3.45).Despite high heterogeneity(I^(2)=63%),sensitivity analyses confirmed the robustness of the findings.CONCLUSION This study underscores the potential of ACT as an effective intervention for improving the mental health of military personnel.Future research should focus on large-scale,multi-center RCTs to further validate these findings,particularly within diverse military populations.

文摘This study explores whether the current external quality assessment(EQA)level and acceptable bias for basic semen analysis in China are clinically useful.We collected data of semen EQA from Andrology laboratories in the Hunan Province(China)in 2022 and searched for data in the published literature from January2000 to December 2023 in China.On the basis of these data,we analyzed the coefficients of variation and acceptable biases of different quality control materials for basic semen analysis through robust statistics.We compared these findings with quality specifications based on biological variation from optimal,desirable,and minimum levels of bias to seek a unified and more suitable semen EQAbias evaluation standard for China's national conditions.Different sources of semen quality control material exhibited considerable variation in acceptable biases among laboratories,ranging from 8.2%to 56.9%.A total of 50.0% of the laboratories met the minimum quality specifications for progressive motility(PR),whereas 100.0%and 75.0%of laboratories met only the minimum quality specifications for sperm concentration and total motility(nonprogressive[NP]+PR),respectively.The Z value for sperm concentration and PR+NP was equivalent to the desirable performance specification,whereas the Z value for PR was equivalent only to the minimum performance specification.This study highlights the feasibility of operating external quality assessment schemes for basic semen analysis using quality specifications based on biological variation.These specifications should be unified among external quality control(EQC)centers based on biological variation.
文摘The integration of Learning Management Systems(LMSs)into educational settings is becoming increasingly common,especially in the digital field.Understanding the factors influencing the acceptance and effective use of LMS is essential to ensure successful implementation.The Technology Acceptance Model(TAM)has been widely used to check user acceptance of various technologies,including LMS.This study conducted a systematic literature review(SLR)to analyze existing research on the application of TAM in the context of LMS.A comprehensive search of the academic database was conducted to identify relevant studies published in 2010-2025.The review synthesizes findings related to the core constructs of TAM—Perceived Usability,Perceived Ease of Use,Behavioral Intent,and Actual Use—as well as extended factors such as system quality,self-efficacy,and social influence.The results reveal circumstantial evidence supporting the predictive power of TAM in LMS adoption,while also highlighting emerging trends and gaps in the literature.This review contributes to a deeper understanding of user acceptance in a digital learning environment and provides recommendations for future research and practical LMS implementation strategies.
文摘This study aimed to confirm the hierarchical factor structure and the criterion validity of the Brief Mental Flexibility Questionnaire(BMFQ)in the South African context.Three hundred and eighty-five employees from a public institution in South Africa participated in the study.Confirmatory factor analysis affirmed the structural validity of the measure,comprising a general factor of mentalflexibility and six distinct processes consistent with acceptance and commitment therapy(ACT):cognitive,affective,perceptual,attentional,motivational,and behavioralflexibility.Multiple regression analysis revealed differential predictive weights of these dimensions for general mental health,with cognitiveflexibility as the primary predictor.Motivationalflexibility emerged as the strongest predictor of adaptive performance.The BMFQ offers practitioners the ability to measure an individual’s overall mentalflexibility score alongside specificflexibility dimensions,enabling targeted interventions,employee comparisons,and organisational trend analysis.
