文摘Objectives:Psychological resilience is a critical resource for vocational high school students navigating social biases and fostering mental well-being.This six-month longitudinal study investigated the developmental trajectories of discrimination perception,vocational identity,and psychological resilience in this population.It further examined the longitudinal mediating role of vocational identity in the relationship between discrimination perception and psychological resilience.Methods:A total of 526 students from five vocational high schools in Guangdong,China,were assessed via convenience sampling at two time points:baseline(T1,September 2023)and six-month follow-up(T2,March 2024).Measures of discrimination perception,psychological resilience,and vocational identity were administered.Data were analyzed using a cross-lagged panel model to test for bidirectional relationships.Results:Over the six-month period,students showed significant decreases in discrimination perception and vocational identity,but a significant increase in psychological resilience.The cross-lagged model revealed significant bidirectional relationships:discrimination perception and psychological resilience negatively predicted each other over time(β=−0.124,p<0.01;β=−0.200,p<0.001),while psychological resilience and vocational identity positively predicted each other(β=0.084,p<0.05;β=0.076,p<0.05).The mediation analysis revealed a dual-pathway mechanism.T1 discrimination perception exerted both a significant direct negative effect on T2 psychological resilience(β=−0.332,p<0.001)and a significant indirect positive effect via T1 vocational identity(indirect effect=0.020,95%CI[0.001,0.046]).This confirms a partial mediating role,indicating that vocational identity functions as a compensatory mechanism,transforming the experience of discrimination perception into a potential source of psychological resilience.Conclusions:For vocational high school students,perception of discrimination directly undermines psychological resilience,but also indirectly fosters it through the positive development of vocational identity.These findings highlight vocational identity as a pivotal mechanism in the complex relationship between social adversity and mental resilience.

文摘Federated learning often experiences slow and unstable convergence due to edge-side data heterogeneity.This problem becomes more severe when edge participation rate is low,as the information collected from different edge devices varies significantly.As a result,communication overhead increases,which further slows down the convergence process.To address this challenge,we propose a simple yet effective federated learning framework that improves consistency among edge devices.The core idea is clusters the lookahead gradients collected from edge devices on the cloud server to obtain personalized momentum for steering local updates.In parallel,a global momentum is applied during model aggregation,enabling faster convergence while preserving personalization.This strategy enables efficient propagation of the estimated global update direction to all participating edge devices and maintains alignment in local training,without introducing extra memory or communication overhead.We conduct extensive experiments on benchmark datasets such as Cifar100 and Tiny-ImageNet.The results confirm the effectiveness of our framework.On CIFAR-100,our method reaches 55%accuracy with 37 fewer rounds and achieves a competitive final accuracy of 65.46%.Even under extreme non-IID scenarios,it delivers significant improvements in both accuracy and communication efficiency.The implementation is publicly available at https://github.com/sjmp525/CollaborativeComputing/tree/FedCCM(accessed on 20 October 2025).

文摘User identity linkage(UIL)across online social networks seeks to match accounts belonging to the same real-world individual.This cross-platformmapping enables accurate user modeling but also raises serious privacy risks.Over the past decade,the research community has developed a wide range of UIL methods,from structural embeddings tomultimodal fusion architectures.However,corresponding adversarial and defensive approaches remain fragmented and comparatively understudied.In this survey,we provide a unified overview of both mapping and antimappingmethods for UIL.We categorize representativemappingmodels by learning paradigmand datamodality,and systematically compare them with emerging countermeasures including adversarial injection,structural perturbation,and identity obfuscation.To bridge these two threads,we introduce amodality-oriented taxonomy and a formal gametheoretic framing that casts cross-network mapping as a contest between mappers and anti-mappers.This framing allows us to construct a cross-modality dependency matrix,which reveals structural information as themost contested signal,identifies node injection as the most robust defensive strategy,and points to multimodal integration as a promising direction.Our survey underscores the need for balanced,privacy-preserving identity inference and provides a foundation for future research on the adversarial dynamics of social identity mapping and defense.
文摘In non-independent and identically distributed(non-IID)data environments,model performance often degrades significantly.To address this issue,two improvement methods are proposed:FedReg and FedReg^(*).FedReg is a method based on hybrid regularization aimed at enhancing federated learning in non-IID scenarios.It introduces hybrid regularization to replace traditional L2 regularization,combining the advantages of L1 and L2 regularization to enable feature selection while preventing overfitting.This method better adapts to the diverse data distributions of different clients,improving the overall model performance.FedReg^(*)combines hybrid regularization with weighted model aggregation.In addition to the benefits of hybrid regularization,FedReg^(*)applies a weighted averaging method in the model aggregation process,calculating weights based on the cosine similarity between each client gradient and the global gradient to more reasonably distribute client contributions.By considering variations in data quality and quantity among clients,FedReg^(*)highlights the importance of key clients and enhances the model’s generalization performance.These improvement methods enhance model accuracy and communication efficiency.

文摘It is well known that the inhomogeneous Calderón-Zygmund convolution operators are bounded on the local Hardy spaces.In this paper,we prove that these operators are bounded on the local product Hardy spaces and the Lipschitz spaces.The key ideas used here are the discrete local Calderón identity and a density argument for the inhomogeneous product Lipschitz spaces in the weak sense.
文摘Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant tumor with low early detection rates and poor prognoses,reflected in a five-year survival rate below 10.The morbidity and mortality rates for this cancer type are nearly identical,indicating a substantial disease burden[1].In China,pancreatic cancer ranks as the sixth leading cause of cancer deaths for both sexes.In 2019,approximately 114,964 cases were recorded,resulting in an incidence rate of 5.78 per 100,000,reflecting an increase of 329.40%in cases and 82.11%in incidence since 1990[2].

文摘In this paper,we study the existence of least energy solutions for the following nonlinear fractional Schrodinger–Poisson system{(−∆)^(s)u+V(x)u+φu=f(u)in R^(3),(−∆)^(t)φ=u^(2)in R^(3),where s∈(3/4,1),t∈(0,1).Under some assumptions on V(x)and f,using Nehari–Pohozaev identity and the arguments of Brezis–Nirenberg,the monotonic trick and global compactness lemma,we prove the existence of a nontrivial least energy solution.
