The Role of Resilience, Social Support, and Artistic Activities in Mental Health During Pandemics.

This study investigated the impact of intentional activities (IAs) on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Bogotá, Colombia, and the mediating role of family support, social support, and resilience. Results in Study One showed significant predictions of psychological variables by gender, age, and education. Men exhibited higher resilience, while age negatively predicted mental health issues and positively predicted family support, social support, and resilience. In Study Two, IAs predicted family support, social support, and resilience. However, when these mediators were included in predicting mental health, IAs no longer directly predicted it, while family support, social support, and resilience did. In Study Three, an exploratory factor analysis revealed two factors that encompass IAs: creative artistic activities and self-care activities factors. Performing these activities at least once a week positively predicted mental health outcomes, with participants reporting lower mental health issues and higher levels of family support, social support, and resilience. In conclusion, the study emphasizes the importance of engaging in intentional activities during the pandemic for maintaining mental health. Family support, social support, and resilience significantly mediate IAs and mental health outcomes. Encouraging individuals to engage in creative artistic activities and self-care at home may be a cost-effective strategy to promote mental well-being during challenging times.

Key factors driving soil diazotrophic community assembly and nitrogenase activity in Qinghai-Tibet alpine meadows

Biological nitrogen (N) fixation by soil diazotrophs is the primary source of nitrogen for natural grasslands, especially at high altitudes such as alpine meadow ecosystems. However, the mechanisms shaping the compositions and assembly processes of diazotrophic communities, as well as soil nitrogenase activity in alpine meadows remain poorly understood. In this study, 241 soil samples were collected from alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to investigate the distribution patterns and driving factors of diazotrophic communities and nitrogenase activities. Our results showed that soil N fixation potential across all samples ranged from 28.8 to 110 nmol C2H4 g-1h-1, and Nitrospirillum and Bradyrhizobium were the most dominant diazotrophic genera. The composition and diversity of soil diazotrophic communities were mainly influenced by soil pH, and to a lesser extent by aridity index and mean annual precipitation. The abundance of nifH gene decreased linearly with soil pH, whereas the ɑ-diversity increased linearly with soil total phosphorus. Null model analysis indicated that deterministic processes governed diazotrophic community assembly, and more acidic soil conditions led to more phylogenetically clustered diazotrophic communities. Partial least squares path modeling and linear regression analyses identified diazotrophic community composition, followed by climatic factors, nifH gene abundance and total phosphorus, as the dominant regulators of soil N fixation potential in alpine meadows. Unexpectedly, soil N fixation potential was not closely related to dominant diazotrophic genera, diversity, or assembly, but highly related to the less abundant diazotrophs. This study provides a novel insight into the ecological mechanisms shaping soil biological nitrogen fixation in alpine meadow ecosystems.

National Tourism Policy in the Russian Far East of Russia: a Case Study of the Republic of Buryatia

The development of tourism in the Russian Far East is a priority for the strategic development of Russia in the current geopolitical environment. The state is implementing unprecedented measures to support the tourism industry in this macro-region. This article analyzes the implementation of the federal agenda for comprehensive tourism development in the Far East, using the Republic of Buryatia as an example (the republic is located in the Baikal natural territory and has been part of the Far Eastern Federal District since 2018). This article presents the key measures of state tourism policy for the Far East, as well as the mechanisms of state regulation and support of tourism in Buryatia. It demonstrates the changing territorial structure of tourism and recreational activities in the region. The study is based on legislative and regulatory documents, national projects, state programs, scientific publications and websites, as well as official statistical data from both federal and regional sources. The results of this study indicate that the Republic of Buryatia is actively enhancing its regional policy on tourism development by utilizing innovative approaches and progressive state support measures. Tourism in Buryatia has not only successfully overcome the consequences of the pandemic but is also developing in current conditions. This is evident in the prioritization of tourism in the Russian Far East and the significant efforts of the authorities of Buryatia, who participate in all competitive selections for federal financial support. At the same time, a significant increase in the number of accommodation facilities and tourist flow without insufficient consideration of environmental factors in investment and economic activities may manifest itself in increased environmental degradation. The article proposes measures to improve tourism policy in line with the solution of strategic tasks of tourism development in the Republic of Buryatia and the preservation of the unique ecosystem of Lake Baikal.

From Artifacts to Interactivity: Optimizing Museum Outreach through Technology and Inclusivity

An Interval Fuzzy Programming Approach to Solve a Green Intermodal Routing Problem for Timber Transportation Under Uncertain Information

This study investigates an intermodal routing problem for transporting wood from a storage yard of the timber harvest area to a timber mill, in which the transfer nodes in the intermodal transportation network have multiple service time windows. To improve the environmental sustainability of timber transportation, a carbon tax policy is employed in the routing to reduce the carbon emissions. Uncertain information on the capacities and carbon emission factors of the transportation activities in the intermodal transportation network is modeled using interval fuzzy numbers to enhance the feasibility of the routing optimization in the actual timber transportation. Based on the above consideration, an interval fuzzy nonlinear optimization model is established to handle the specific routing problem. Model defuzzification and linearization are then conducted to obtain an equivalent formulation that is crisp and linear to make the global optimum solution attainable. A numerical experiment is conducted to verify the feasibility of the proposed model, and it reveals the influence of the optimization level and service time windows on the routing optimization, and it confirms that intermodal transportation is suitable for timber transportation. This experiment also analyzes the feasibility of a carbon tax policy in reducing the carbon emissions of timber transportation, and it finds that the performance of this policy is determined by the optimization level given by the timber mill and is not always feasible in all cases. For the case where a carbon tax policy is infeasible, this study proposes a bi-objective optimization that can use Pareto solutions to balance the economic and environmental objectives as an alternative. The bi-objective optimization further shows the relationship between lowering the transportation costs, reducing the carbon emissions, and enhancing the reliability on capacity and budget by improving the optimization level. The conclusions provide managerial insights that can help the timber mill and intermodal transportation operator organize cost-efficient, low-carbon, and reliable intermodal transportation for timber distribution, and support sustainable forest logistics.

Individual differences in music-induced interpersonal synchronization and self-other integration: the role of creativity and empathy.

It has been demonstrated that moving together in synchrony to music makes us feel connected. Yet, little is known about the individual differences that shape the relationship between interpersonal synchronization to music and social bonding. The present research tests the hypothesis that this association is influenced by differences in empathy and creativity-two highly relevant factors in many musical activities. We implemented a synchronization task featuring a virtual drummer and measured self-other integration (SOI), a core component of social bonding. We employed a dual-measurement paradigm, incorporating both an explicit assessment (Inclusion of Other in the Self scale) and an implicit assessment (joint-Simon effect) of SOI. Surprisingly, our analysis did not reveal explicit and implicit measurements correlating, nor were they similarly affected by interpersonal synchronization. This raises questions about the assessment of SOI in interpersonal synchronization experiments. Furthermore, we observed no moderating role of empathy or creativity in the association between interpersonal synchronization and SOI. Nevertheless, we found creativity to correlate with SOI. In light of this finding, we recommend placing greater emphasis on creativity as a decisive factor in the study of musical interaction.

Shaping Health: An Interpretation of the Fitness Motivation of the Middle Class

Recently, there has been a growing focus on fitness, particularly among the middle class, who invest significant time and effort in this pursuit. Consequently, the study of middle-class fitness motivation has become a subject of academic interest. This paper examines the importance of health concepts in modern society and the current state, motivations, and influencing factors of fitness activities among the Chinese middle class. With the improvement of living standards and changing lifestyle, health has become a fundamental basis for personal happiness and quality of life, and fitness, as an important means to improve and maintain health, has gradually gained favor among the middle class. Middle-class fitness activities exhibit a trend of diversification, individualization, and scientificity. In investigating fitness motivations, this paper finds that the fitness motivations of the Chinese middle class primarily encompass health pursuits, social needs, and self-actualization. They engage in fitness to improve and maintain physical health, expand their social circles, and enhance personal value. Simultaneously, cultural and economic factors collectively shape the fitness motivations of the middle class. The transformation of traditional health concepts and the influence of media and popular culture have prompted them to pay greater attention to fitness, while the increase in income levels and the rise of marketization have provided them with more convenient and efficient fitness services. Finally, this paper summarizes the main characteristics of the fitness motivations of the Chinese middle class and outlines directions for future research. These studies will contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the fitness behavior of the middle class and provide a scientific basis for the formulation of relevant policies and the development of the fitness market.

Effectiveness of donning and doffing personal protective equipment education using video debriefing among Korean undergraduate nursing students

BackgroundThe use of appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) in healthcare settings is a very important factor of infection control activities to prevent transmission of infection. In this study, we aimed to develop a non-face-to-face method that can reduce transmission of infection and an educational method that allows self-learning and self-training, and verify the effectiveness of a donning and doffing PPE education using video debriefing on third-year nursing students in clinical train.MethodsThe researcher assigned groups through random sampling using a random number table from the list of research subjects who agreed to participate. Therefore, 35 subjects in the experimental group with an education on donning and doffing PPE using video debriefing and 34 subjects in the control group with video-based training (VBT) were participated in April 2023 at a university in Incheon, South Korea. The evaluation phase involved verifying effects of the education on observer evaluation donningand doffing PPE performance and self-evaluation donningand doffing PPE performance. Satisfaction with the education also assessed immediately after intervention by the experimental group.ResultsThe experimental group had significantly higher scores for observer evaluationdonning (t = 7.84, p < .001) and observer evaluation doffing (t = 6.52, p < .001) PPE performances than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in self-evaluation donning (t = 0.98, p < .330) or doffing PPE performance (t = 0.17, p < .869) between the two groups. In the experimental group that applied video debriefing, learning satisfaction was 4.33 ± 0.82 points out of 5 points.ConclusionsThe education on donning and doffing PPE applying video debriefing was effective. If the education developed in this study is used as a self-learning method to improve the infection control capacity necessary to respond to a disaster crisis caused by infectious diseases, it is considered to be useful for preventing the transmission of infectious diseases in the future.
