Specifically, the vocals contain a lot of knowledge, revealing details about the speaker’s goals and desires, as well as their internal condition. Certain vocal characteristics reveal the speaker’s mood, intention, and motivation, while word study assists the speaker’s demand to be understood. Voice emotion recognition has become an essential component of modern HCC networks. Integrating findings from the various disciplines involved in identifying vocal emotions is also challenging. Many sound analysis techniques were developed in the past. Learning about the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and especially Deep Learning (DL) technology, research incorporating real data is becoming increasingly common these days. Thus, this research presents a novel selfish herd optimization-tuned long/short-term memory (SHO-LSTM) strategy to identify vocal emotions in human communication. The RAVDESS public dataset is used to train the suggested SHO-LSTM technique. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) and wiener filter (WF) techniques are used, respectively, to remove noise and extract features from the data. LSTM and SHO are applied to the extracted data to optimize the LSTM network’s parameters for effective emotion recognition. Python Software was used to execute our proposed framework. In the finding assessment phase, Numerous metrics are used to evaluate the proposed model’s detection capability, Such as F1-score (95%), precision (95%), recall (96%), and accuracy (97%). The suggested approach is tested on a Python platform, and the SHO-LSTM’s outcomes are contrasted with those of other previously conducted research. Based on comparative assessments, our suggested approach outperforms the current approaches in vocal emotion recognition.展开更多

文摘This comparative study examines cultural empathy strategies employed by two major international broadcasters-BBC(British Broadcasting Corporation)and CGTN(China Global Television Network)-in their efforts to balance local emotional resonance with universal values in global communication.Through a mixed-methods approach combining content analysis of 2,400 news reports,interviews with 32 media professionals,and audience reception studies across 15 countries,this research investigates how international media organizations navigate the complex terrain of cross-cultural communication in an increasingly interconnected world.The findings reveal significant differences in empathy strategies:BBC employs a“universalist-localized”approach emphasizing shared human experiences while maintaining Western liberal values,achieving 67.3%cross-cultural resonance scores,while CGTN adopts a“particularist-global”strategy highlighting cultural diversity within a framework of mutual understanding,achieving 61.8%resonance scores.Both organizations face challenges in balancing authentic cultural representation with audience accessibility,managing 73.4%and 68.9%cultural authenticity ratings respectively.The study identifies five key empathy strategies:narrative localization,cultural bridging,emotional universalization,value harmonization,and contextual adaptation.Results indicate that successful cultural empathy requires sophisticated understanding of target audiences’cultural schemas while maintaining editorial authenticity.The research contributes to international communication theory by proposing a Cultural Empathy Framework(CEF)that explains how media organizations can effectively navigate the tension between local emotions and universal values in global broadcasting contexts.
文摘Objectives:At the time of the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City,Oklahoma(OKC),it was the deadliest terrorist attack in the United States of America.Available research on this incident,and in general,has been quantitative,using deductive methods.The purpose of the current study was to systematically examine professional disaster response workers’emotions elicited spontaneously and in detail as they were experienced over time after a major disaster.This qualitative study will add to existing knowledge of psychopathology and the psychosocial effects of disasters on professional responders,which have not been explored by prior quantitative studies.Methods:A volunteer sample of 181 rescue and recovery workers for the 1995 bombing of the OKC Murrah Federal Building was interviewed approximately 3 years after the bombing.These responders were asked open-ended questions to elicit undirected responses in their own words.In these interviews,they were prompted to describe their feelings at 3 distinct time points:upon their arrival at the bombing scene(“immediately”),in the first 1 week following the bombing,and currently at the time of the interview(“now”).Results:Data items were coded into the 5 themes:Anticipation,Shock and awe,Negative reactions,Positive reactions,and Emotionally unengaged/unaffected.The emotional themes of the responders mapped into 2 conceptual domains.The first domain is related to common human responses to horrible events such as the bombing.The second domain is related to the professional identities of the disaster responders.Conclusions:Specific aspects of the professional responder roles asserted themselves,shaping their emotional responses distinctly from those of the bomb blast survivors.This study identified both negative and positive emotions,which may help identify risk for or resistance to posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD).

文摘Pain-induced emotions are the negative moods caused by pain,such as depression and anxiety.Acupunc-ture can effectively relieve pain-induced emotions,and its mechanism is closely related to the regulation of neuroplasticity.Neuroplasticity is composed of two types,functional neuroplasticity and structural neuroplasticity.(1)Acupuncture improves functional neuroplasticity by inhibiting the activation of mi-croglia and astrocytes,regulating the expression of neurotransmitters and receptors,modulating cellular signal transduction pathways,and optimizing synaptic transmission efficiency.(2)Acupuncture improves structural neuroplasticity by modulating neuronal synaptic plasticity,inhibiting neuronal apoptosis,and up-regulating the expression of the BDNF/TrKB/CREB signaling pathway.Additionally,acupuncture up-regulates the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factors to improve both the functional and struc-tural neuroplasticity,thus relieves pain-induced emotions.The above discovery provides an approach to the mechanism research of acupuncture for pain-induced emotions.
文摘Objective:To analyze the effect of interventional nursing on the therapeutic effect,negative emotion and quality of life of patients undergoing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular interventional therapy.Methods:Eighty-four patients who received cardio-cerebral vascular interventional therapy in a hospital during January 2024–December 2024 were selected,and were divided into the control group and the observation group by the mean score method,each with 42 cases.The control group was given standardized perioperative care,and the observation group was given interventional nursing intervention on this basis.The two groups were compared in terms of clinical efficacy,negative emotion score,incidence of related complications,quality of life score and nursing satisfaction.Results:The total effective rate of treatment of patients in the observation group(95.24%)was significantly higher than that of the control group(78.57%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);before nursing care,the difference between SDS and SAS scores of patients in the two groups was insignificant(P>0.05);after nursing care,the scores of various indexes of the two groups were significantly reduced and the observation group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the patients in the observation group had more negative moods than those in the control group;the complication rate of patients in the observation group(2.38%)was significantly lower than that of the control group(19.04%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the quality of life scores of patients in the observation group were higher than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05);the satisfaction rate of patients’nursing care in the observation group was 97.62%,which was higher than that of the control group(78.57%),and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The difference is statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion:The implementation of interventional nursing intervention for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular interventional therapy can further enhance the clinical therapeutic effect,improve the negative emotions of patients’anxiety and depression,reduce the risk of related complications,improve the quality of life of patients,and obtain higher satisfaction.
文摘Higher education is transitioning from mass expansion to high-quality development.In this process,mental health issues among college students have become increasingly prominent,encompassing not only academic stress-induced anxiety but also complex challenges such as interpersonal adaptation difficulties and career planning confusion.Traditional“problem-oriented”intervention models have shown limitations in responsiveness and adaptability,often only passively addressing existing psychological crises rather than preventing them in advance.This study aims to explore an AI-powered“positive psychology”proactive intervention model through developing an intelligent system.The system automatically collects,filters,and personalizes recommendations for positive activities on campus.Using a randomized controlled trial design,we conducted an 8-week intervention study involving 126 college students at a university.The study found that AI-based“campus positive activity”recommendations effectively boost students’positive emotions and promote psychological capital development through cumulative micro-interventions.This provides universities with empirical evidence and innovative methods to implement low-cost,efficient,and scalable mental health promotion programs through smart technology.
文摘This study employed a mixed methods approach to investigate the impact of learner and teacher variables on foreign language enjoyment(FLE)and foreign language anxiety(FLA)among 250 high school English learners in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region,China,a group that has so far been under-researched.Quantitative analysis results indicated a prevalence of FLE over FLA,demonstrating a significant negative correlation between these emotional dimensions.However,complete overlap between these emotions was not observed.Utilizing multiple regression models in R revealed main effects of Grade,Self-reported English Proficiency,Learners’Attitudes towards Teachers,and Teachers’Frequency of English Use on FLE.Conversely,only self-reported English Proficiency exhibited a main effect on FLA.Unlike most prior studies,gender did not exhibit a main effect;however,it interacted with Grade in influencing FLE and interacted with Learners’Attitudes towards Teachers regarding FLA.Qualitative analysis of participant responses elucidated factors contributing to enjoyable experiences,encompassing authentic English usage,self-recognition,teacher recognition and peer recognition.Conversely,factors such as mistakes made in assignments and unpreparedness for lessons,triggered anxious experiences.The pedagogical implication underscores that the classroom emotional climate is co-shaped by both students and teachers,with teachers playing a pivotal role in fostering FLE.

文摘BACKGROUND Grief counseling has become relatively established and is widely used among the families of cancer patients,effectively alleviating their psychological pain.However,in China,due to the influence of Confucianism and other traditional cultures,people generally adhere to the belief of“reincarnation to avoid death”,focusing more on themes of life,such as eugenics and longevity,and paying less attention to matters related to death,including death education and grief counseling.Currently,grief counseling in China is still in an exploratory stage,and there is relatively little research on the psychological status of family members of patients with terminal tumors.AIM To investigate the psychological effects of grief counseling on family members of terminal cancer patients.METHODS This study was designed as a randomized controlled trial that utilized convenience sampling to select family members of terminal tumor patients who were admitted to the hospice ward of the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangnan University from January to June 2025 as research subjects.All participants received conventional symptomatic supportive treatment and palliative care.Additionally,the intervention group benefited from extra grief counseling.RESULTS The Distress Thermometer(DT)score of the control group slightly decreased compared to before the intervention,but the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).In contrast,the DT score of the intervention group decreased significantly compared to before the intervention,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).After the intervention,the DT score of the intervention group was lower than that of the control group,and the difference was also statistically significant(P<0.05).After the intervention,the intervention group performed better DT level than the control group,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05),the intervention group outperformed the control group in terms of depression and anxiety,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Grief counseling can help alleviate the psychological pain and negative emotions experienced by family members of patients with terminal malignant tumors.
文摘Maintaining optimal quality of life(QoL)is a pivotal for“successful aging”.Understanding how the QoL of the elderly develops and what role psychological factors play in its development will help improve QoL from a psychological perspective.Embedded within the lifespan theory of control,this longitudinal study aimed to(1)map the temporal trajectory of QoL among Chinese older adults,(2)examine differential effects of tripartite negative emotions(stress,anxiety,depression),and(3)test themoderating role of control strategies(goal engagement,goal disengagement,self-protection)in emotion-QoL dynamics.A prospective cohort of 345 community-dwelling older adults(Mage=83.84±8.49 years;55.1%female)completed validated measures-SF-36 for QoL,DASS-21 for negative emotions,and an adapted Control Strategies Questionnaire(CAS)-at three waves spanning 12 months.Hierarchical linear modeling(HLM)with time-nested structure analyzed intraindividual changes and interindividual differences.QoL exhibited a significant linear decline over time(β=−4.75,p<0.001).Stress(β=−14.12,p<0.001)and anxiety(β=−11.24,p<0.001)robustly predicted QoL decline,whereas depression showed no significant effect.Control strategies had divergent associations:goal engagement(β=3.51,p<0.001)and self-protection(β=2.38,p=0.015)predicted higher baseline QoL,while goal disengagement accelerated decline(β=−7.00,p<0.001;interaction with time:β=−2.46,p<0.001).Contrary to hypotheses,control strategies did not moderate emotion-QoL associations(ΔR2=0.02,p=0.21).The results showed that stress and anxiety played an important role in the QoL of the elderly.At the same time,goal engagement and self-protection were beneficial to the QoL of the elderly,while goal disengagement was not conducive to QoL and its development among the elderly.Meanwhile,the negative effect of anxiety and stress on the QoL of the elderly was not affected by the control strategies.

文摘Voice, motion, and mimicry are naturalistic control modalities that have replaced text or display-driven control in human-computer communication (HCC). Specifically, the vocals contain a lot of knowledge, revealing details about the speaker’s goals and desires, as well as their internal condition. Certain vocal characteristics reveal the speaker’s mood, intention, and motivation, while word study assists the speaker’s demand to be understood. Voice emotion recognition has become an essential component of modern HCC networks. Integrating findings from the various disciplines involved in identifying vocal emotions is also challenging. Many sound analysis techniques were developed in the past. Learning about the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and especially Deep Learning (DL) technology, research incorporating real data is becoming increasingly common these days. Thus, this research presents a novel selfish herd optimization-tuned long/short-term memory (SHO-LSTM) strategy to identify vocal emotions in human communication. The RAVDESS public dataset is used to train the suggested SHO-LSTM technique. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) and wiener filter (WF) techniques are used, respectively, to remove noise and extract features from the data. LSTM and SHO are applied to the extracted data to optimize the LSTM network’s parameters for effective emotion recognition. Python Software was used to execute our proposed framework. In the finding assessment phase, Numerous metrics are used to evaluate the proposed model’s detection capability, Such as F1-score (95%), precision (95%), recall (96%), and accuracy (97%). The suggested approach is tested on a Python platform, and the SHO-LSTM’s outcomes are contrasted with those of other previously conducted research. Based on comparative assessments, our suggested approach outperforms the current approaches in vocal emotion recognition.
文摘Objective:To explore the effect of evidence-based care on lower-limb thrombosis and negative emotions following hip arthroplasty.Methods:A total of 108 patients undergoing hip arthroplasty at our hospital were randomly assigned to the observation group(n=54,evidence-based care)and the control group(n=54,conventional care).Postoperative complications,negative emotions,quality of life,activities of daily living,and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The observation group had a lower incidence of lower-limb thrombosis and overall complications,as well as higher patient satisfaction than the control group(all P<0.05).One month after discharge,patients in the observation group showed significantly lower scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Scale,the Hamilton Depression Scale,and activities of daily living scale,but with increased Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 scores,compared with before intervention(all P<0.05).Conclusion:Evidence-based care significantly relieves anxiety and depression,reduces the incidence of lower-limb thrombosis,and improves quality of life in patients after hip arthroplasty.

文摘This study examined the positive changes that water-based nail treatments can bring to emotions and behavior in children who do not attend school and use a place for school-refusing children.Children who do not attend school and use a place for school-refusing children were given water-based nail treatments about once a week for three months.In addition,the parents of these children were asked to respond to questions about their children’s daily activities.The results showed that natural communication through nail treatments significantly increased positive emotions.However,continued nail treatments did not reduce the children’s problem behaviors.Some children returned to school,while others continued not attending school.Increased frequency of visits and number of treatments confirmed the promotion of communication.It was suggested that building positive relationships with family and supporters is important for achieving sustained effects from nail treatments.This study showed that nail treatments are a useful tool for promoting positive emotions,self-acceptance,and social skills,and may contribute to the emotional growth and social interest of children who do not attend school.
文摘BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis(AP),as a common acute abdomen disease,has a high incidence rate worldwide and is often accompanied by severe complications.Negative emotions lead to increased secretion of stress hormones,elevated blood sugar levels,and enhanced insulin resistance,which in turn increases the risk of AP and significantly affects the patient's quality of life.Therefore,exploring the intervention effects of narrative nursing programs on the negative emotions of patients with AP is not only helpful in alleviating psychological stress and improving quality of life but also has significant implications for improving disease outcomes and prognosis.AIM To construct a narrative nursing model for negative emotions in patients with AP and verify its efficacy in application.METHODS Through Delphi expert consultation,a narrative nursing model for negative emotions in patients with AP was constructed.A non-randomized quasi-experimental study design was used in this study.A total of 92 patients with AP with negative emotions admitted to a tertiary hospital in Nantong City of Jiangsu Province,China from September 2022 to August 2023 were recruited by convenience sampling,among whom 46 patients admitted from September 2022 to February 2023 were included in the observation group,and 46 patients from March to August 2023 were selected as control group.The observation group received narrative nursing plan,while the control group was given with routine nursing.Self-rating anxiety scale(SAS),self-rating depression scale(SDS),positive and negative affect scale(PANAS),caring behavior scale,patient satisfaction scale and 36-item short form health survey questionnaire(SF-36)were used to evaluate their emotions,satisfaction and caring behaviors in the two groups on the day of discharge,1-and 3-month following discharge.RESULTS According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,a total of 45 cases in the intervention group and 44 cases in the control group eventually recruited and completed in the study.On the day of discharge,the intervention group showed significantly lower scores of SAS,SDS and negative emotion(28.57±4.52 vs 17.4±4.44,P<0.001),whereas evidently higher outcomes in the positive emotion score,Caring behavior scale score and satisfaction score compared to the control group(P<0.05).Repeated measurement analysis of variance showed that significant between-group differences were found in time effect,inter-group effect and interaction effect of SAS and PANAS scores as well as in time effect and inter-group effect of SF-36 scores(P<0.05);the SF-36 scores of two groups at 3 months after discharge were higher than those at 1 month after discharge(P<0.05).CONCLUSION The application of narrative nursing protocols has demonstrated significant effectiveness in alleviating anxiety,ameliorating negative emotions,and enhancing satisfaction among patients with AP.

文摘experience shared by human beings,but it is often expressed in the form of conceptual metaphor which is pervasive in the concrete language.Drawing upon the theory of conceptual metaphor and emotion metaphors,this paper aims to study the translation of positive emotions in David Hawkes’version of The Story of the Stone and the related daily expressions as the corpus.According to the theories,this paper categorizes the positive emotions metaphors into body metaphors,sensory metaphors,entity metaphors,and orientational metaphors to discuss the process of English translation and the metaphorical mechanism,analyzes the similarities and differences between Chinese and English expressions of positive emotions and their cultural,physiological,and psychological motives,and lastly attempts to summarize the translation strategies of emotional expressions.The analysis of metaphorical mechanisms reveals that the common physiological and psychological experiences of human beings and cultural exchanges give rise to similarities,while the unique cultural environments,antecedents,and historical development of each nation give rise to their distinctiveness.This paper concludes that translators need to make full use of their subjectivity,understand the surface and underlying meaning of the text,and establish a high level of mental compatibility between themselves,the readers,and the author.
文摘BACKGROUND Leukemia is a broad term for blood cell cancer.Leukemia is divided into acute or chronic,depending on cell differentiation.Leukemia patients are prone to adverse reactions during chemotherapy,such as anxiety,depression,and even suicide,affecting prognosis.As a nursing model developed by three well-known cognitive psychologists,empathetic nursing with mindfulness cognitive therapy(ENMCT)can effectively reduce anxiety and depression and improve the quality of life in patients with chronic disease.AIM To explore the effect of ENMCT on cancer-induced fatigue,hope level,and negative emotions in patients with long-term leukemia chemotherapy.METHODS A total of 103 patients with long-term leukemia chemotherapy diagnosed and treated in our hospital from July 2017 to October 2019 were enrolled and randomly assigned to observation and control groups using the random number table approach.Fifty-one patients in the control group received routine nursing,while 52 patients in the observation group received empathic nursing with mindfulness cognitive therapy.After three months of nursing care,cancerinduced fatigue was measured with the Piper Fatigue Scale(PFS),hope level with the Herth Hope Index(HHI),and negative emotion with the Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)/Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD).Self-management(Chinese Strategies Used by People to Promote Health)was also recorded.RESULTS The observation group’s total scores in behavior,cognition,emotion,feeling,and PFS were lower than the control group after the intervention(P<0.05).Keeping close contact with others,the attitude of taking positive actions,the attitude toward reality and future,and the total HHI score were higher in the observation group than the control group(P<0.05).The observation group’s HAMA and HAMD scores were lower than the control group(P<0.05).The observation group’s positive attitude,self-decision,and self-relief scores were greater than the control group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Empathetic nursing with cognitive mindfulness therapy is beneficial in improving cancer-related fatigue,negative emotions,expectation level,and self-management ability in patients with longterm leukemia chemotherapy.
