Effects of physical activity on subjective well-being: the mediating role of social support and self-efficacy

ObjectiveSubjective well-being is an essential component of college students' mental health, and the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between physical activity and subjective well-being among college students and to examine the mediating role of social support and self-efficacy between the physical activity and subjective well-being.MethodsThis study utilized a cross-sectional design with a stratified whole group sample of 989 college students (Mage = 19.65 years, SD = 1.1) from three universities in Guangdong Province, China, and used the Physical Activity Scale, Subjective Well-Being Scale, Social Support Scale, and Self-Efficacy Scale for data collection. In this study, SPSS 26.0 was used for descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis of the collected data. Harman's one-way method was used to test for common method bias.Results(1) Physical activity, subjective well-being, social support and self-efficacy were significantly correlated with each other. Among them, physical activity was significantly and positively correlated with subjective well-being (r = 0.36), physical activity directly predicted subjective well-being (β = 0.125, t = 3.992, p < 0.01). (2) Physical activity positively predicted social support (β = 0.386, t = 12.505, p < 0.01) and self-efficacy (β = 0.358, t = 11.793, p < 0.01), social support significantly positively predicted subjective well-being (β = 0.332, t = 11.370, p < 0.01) and self-efficacy (β = 0.254, t = 8.744, p < 0.01), self-efficacy significantly and positively predicted subjective well-being (β = 0.255, t = 8.251, p < 0.01). (3) Not only did social support and self-efficacy play an independent mediating role between physical activity and subjective well-being, but social support and self-efficacy played a chain mediating role between physical activity and subjective well-being.ConclusionThis study enriched the theoretical guidance for physical activity in promoting college students' subjective well-being. In the practical teaching of promoting college students' subjective well-being, in addition to paying attention to stimulating physical activity, special attention should be paid to the promotion of social support and self-efficacy.

Quantifying Urban Spatial Morphology Indicators on the Green Areas Cooling Effect: The Case of Changsha, China, a Subtropical City

Green city areas are crucial in mitigating the Urban Heat Island Effect (UHI). However, the cooling effect of green city areas can be influenced by the surrounding complex urban spatial environment. This study focuses on Changsha, a subtropical city in China, where 40 green city areas were screened and analyzed. The study aims to quantify the specific impact of urban spatial morphology on the cooling effect of green city areas. Through statistical correlation and regression analysis, this study focused on six urban spatial morphology indicators: building density (BD), building floor area ratio (BFR), building volume density (BVD), building evenness index (BEI), building average height (BH), and building height standard deviation (BSD). The results indicate that the cooling effect of green city areas could be influenced by urban spatial morphology. Factors such as BD, BFR, BH, and BSD were found to be significantly correlated with the cooling effect of green city areas, with BH showing the strongest influence. BD and BFR were negatively correlated, while BH and BSD were positively correlated. The range values of BD, BFR, BH, and BSD were determined to achieve the optimal conditions for the cooling effect of green city areas. Additionally, the relative position of the green city areas in the neighboring urban areas affects the cooling effect of the green city areas. The cooling effect is most pronounced in the urban area situated to the south of the green city areas. These findings provide a solid foundation for urban planning around green city spaces and offer scientifically sound evidence for mitigating the UHI.

Spectrum-effect relationship between HPLC fingerprints and antioxidant activity of Qi-Fu-Yin based on multiple statistical correlation analysis.

Qi-Fu-Yin has been used to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD) in China. Oxidative stress has been recognized as a factor in AD progress. To date, there is no quality control method to ensure batch-to-batch consistency of Qi-Fu-Yin, and the potential antioxidant compounds in Qi-Fu-Yin remain uncertain. The aim of this study is to identify the potential antioxidant compounds of Qi-Fu-Yin and establish quality control standards for Qi-Fu-Yin. High-performance liquid chromatography was used to establish and quantify the fingerprints of Qi-Fu-Yin from various batches. Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF/MS) was used to identify the common peaks. Bivariate correlation analysis, partial least squares regression analysis, and gray correlation analysis were used to establish the spectrum-effect relationship. Forty-nine common peaks were determined through the establishment of fingerprints. Among them, 35 common peaks were preliminarily characterized. The multiple statistical correlation analysis methods identified six compounds as potential antioxidant constituents of Qi-Fu-Yin, and their antioxidant activities were validated in vitro. All six antioxidant compounds derived from two herbs. Therefore, three chemical index compounds derived from other three herbs were added to the quantitative analysis, while for two herbs, no peaks could be included. Eventually, six antioxidant constituents and three index compounds were quantitatively determined to provide a relatively comprehensive quality control for Qi-Fu-Yin. The study elucidated the antioxidant substance basis of Qi-Fu-Yin and provided a relatively comprehensive approach for the assay of Qi-Fu-Yin, which is a promising advance in the quality control of Qi-Fu-Yin.

Differential socioemotional and educational profiles in early childhood and primary education students in a lockdown situation.

Recent lockdown situations have highlighted social relationship deprivation of schoolchildren and the need to develop the teaching-learning process in informal contexts. The aim of this study was to analyze differential socioemotional and educational profiles in Early Childhood and Primary Education students using variables relating to academic performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Correlational, descriptive, and inferential statistical analyses were performed that yielded differential explanatory models depending on the stage of education. The results reveal statistically significant differences in all the variables except for family-school relationship. In the linear regression models, the most statistically significant variable for school performance in both stages was family-school relationship. However, differences were found between both profiles: emotional impact for Early Childhood Education students and social impact for Primary Education students. Lastly, leisure activities at home were included as an explanatory variable only in the Primary Education regression model. The final conclusions highlight the need to attend to the evolutionary characteristics of students in each stage to improve school performance in similar lockdown situations.

"Effects of Floating Aquatic Vegetation and Canal Sediment on Phosphorus in Drainage Discharges in Agricultural Canals: A Case Study in the Everglades Agricultural Area, Florida"

Phosphorus (P) discharge from agricultural and urban drainage is known for causing downstream eutrophication worldwide. Agricultural best management practices that are designed to reduce P load out of farms target different P species from various sources such as fertilizers leaching and farm soil and canal sediment erosion, however, few studies have assessed the impact of floating aquatic vegetation (FAV) on canal sediment and farm drainage water quality. This study evaluated the impact of FAVs on canal sediment properties and P water quality in drainage canals in the Everglades Agricultural Area in south Florida, USA. Non-parametric statistical methods, correlation analysis, trend analysis and principal component analysis (PCA) were used to determine the relationship between FAV coverage with sediment properties and P water quality parameters. Results showed that FAV coverage was correlated with the highly recalcitrant and most stable form of P in the sediment layer (Residual P Pool). FAV coverage also correlated with the dissolved organic P (DOP) which was the smallest P pool (7%) of total P concentration in drainage water, therefore FAV coverage had no correlation with farm P load. The trend analysis showed no trend in farm P loads, despite a decline in FAV coverage at farm canals over an 8-year period. Phosphorus content in the sediment surface layer was strongly associated with farm P load and had a significant correlation with particulate P (PP) and soluble reactive P (SRP) which constituted 47% and 46% of the total P concentration in the drainage water, respectively. Equilibrium P concentration assays also showed the potential to release SRP from the sediment layer. The P budget established for this study reveals that sediment stores the largest P mass (333 kg P), while FAVs store the smallest P mass (8 kg P) in a farm canal, highlighting the significant contribution of canal sediment to farm P discharges. Further research is required to evaluate the impact of sediment removal and canal maintenance practices that help reduce farm P discharges.

Synoptic Control on the Initiation and Rainfall Characteristics of Warm‐Season MCSs Over the South China Coast

AbstractThe South China coast (SCC) experiences frequent heavy rainfall during the warm season (May–September). Objective classification analysis on 925‐hPa geopotential height shows that the majority of warm‐season precipitation (>80%) occurs under three typical synoptic patterns: the southerly monsoon pattern (P1), the southwesterly monsoon pattern (P2), and the low‐level vortex pattern (P3). Using 20 years of satellite observations and cloud tracking, this study highlights that mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) play a pivotal role in generating precipitation under all three synoptic patterns, while the initiation and rainfall characteristics of MCSs are strongly modulated by the background synoptic circulations. The diurnal MCS precipitation under P1 and P2 is predominantly influenced by land‐sea breeze circulation, which is characterized by a morning offshore propagation and an afternoon onshore propagation. The rainfall propagation speeds, however, are strongly modulated by the prevailing low‐level monsoonal flows. Under P3, MCS precipitation initiates near the coast around midnight and then propagates offshore, merging with the widespread offshore precipitation. The analysis also shows that the majority of MCSs contributing to SCC warm‐season precipitation were locally initiated. This underscores the critical role of locally initiated MCSs in driving the SCC precipitation characteristics, as opposed to propagating MCSs. Statistical correlation analysis further indicates that the precipitation area and intensity of locally initiated MCSs are closely related to the lower‐tropospheric moisture transport and the convective available potential energy over the upstream South China Sea, and the deep‐layer wind shear (from surface to 400‐hPa) over the SCC.

Gender bender organizational barriers and women’s career progression: Evidence from commercial banks in Pakistan

The study aims to investigate the effect of gender bender organizational barriers on women career progression in Commercial Banks in Pakistan. The Perceived barriers were gender stereotype, socio-cultural beliefs, organizational structure, family responsibilities and individual characteristics. To serve that purpose, specifically branches of all public and private banks in twin cities i-e Islamabad and Rawalpindi, were selected. Survey research strategy was adopted to collect data from 252 branches of selected sample. Convenience sampling and random sampling techniques were used to select sample of branches. Self-administered questionnaires were distributed among the three clusters which are top managers, middle managers and sub-ordinate. Collected data was tested on IBM SPSS by using multiple linear regression, descriptive statistics reliability and correlation analysis. The findings indicate that gender-specific organizational systems negatively affect women career progression in banks of Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The theoretical support was provided by gender and feminist theories and Gendered Organizational Structure (GOS) Model” and its three sub-models.

영아기 자녀 어머니의 공감능력이 어머니-교사 협력에 미치는 영향

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out how the empathy ability of mothers of children in infancy affects mother-teacher cooperation and to verify the mediating effect of parenting competency that affects the causal relationship between these two variables.
 Methods An electronic survey was conducted on 284 mothers of infant children attending daycare centers in the Gyeonggi-do area. The collected data were subjected to reliability analysis, frequency analysis, descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis to verify mediation effects using the SPSS 29.0 program, and Sobel-test was performed to verify significance.
 Results First, the relationships between mothers' empathy and parenting capabilities and mother-teacher cooperation in infancy showed a positive correlation. Second, a partial mediating effect of parenting competency was found in the effect of the mother's empathy ability on mother-teacher cooperation during infancy.
 Conclusions This study consistently shows that mother-teacher cooperation plays an important role in the development of infants, but research on the characteristics of parents necessary to promote this is relatively insufficient. In this situation, the empathic ability of mothers of children in infancy is influenced by teachers. The significance of the study is that it was proven to be a parental variable that has a significant direct and indirect effect on cooperation with parents. Based on this study, it is expected that parent education programs will be activated to improve parents' empathy and strengthen their parenting capabilities.

Voxel-wise body composition analysis using image registration of a three-slice CT imaging protocol: methodology and proof-of-concept studies

BackgroundComputed tomography (CT) is an imaging modality commonly used for studies of internal body structures and very useful for detailed studies of body composition. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a fully automatic image registration framework for inter-subject CT slice registration. The aim was also to use the results, in a set of proof-of-concept studies, for voxel-wise statistical body composition analysis (Imiomics) of correlations between imaging and non-imaging data.MethodsThe current study utilized three single-slice CT images of the liver, abdomen, and thigh from two large cohort studies, SCAPIS and IGT. The image registration method developed and evaluated used both CT images together with image-derived tissue and organ segmentation masks. To evaluate the performance of the registration method, a set of baseline 3-single-slice CT images (from 2780 subjects including 8285 slices) from the SCAPIS and IGT cohorts were registered. Vector magnitude and intensity magnitude error indicating inverse consistency were used for evaluation. Image registration results were further used for voxel-wise analysis of associations between the CT images (as represented by tissue volume from Hounsfield unit and Jacobian determinant) and various explicit measurements of various tissues, fat depots, and organs collected in both cohort studies.ResultsOur findings demonstrated that the key organs and anatomical structures were registered appropriately. The evaluation parameters of inverse consistency, such as vector magnitude and intensity magnitude error, were on average less than 3 mm and 50 Hounsfield units. The registration followed by Imiomics analysis enabled the examination of associations between various explicit measurements (liver, spleen, abdominal muscle, visceral adipose tissue (VAT), subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT), thigh SAT, intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT), and thigh muscle) and the voxel-wise image information.ConclusionThe developed and evaluated framework allows accurate image registrations of the collected three single-slice CT images and enables detailed voxel-wise studies of associations between body composition and associated diseases and risk factors.

Statistical Analysis of Ionospheric Correlation for Shortwave System

AbstractStatistical analysis of the temporal and spatial variations in the ionosphere is necessary to improve the shortwave system. Based on the standardized Euclidean distance algorithm, multisource ionospheric assimilation data, International GNSS Service vertical total electron content data, and ionosonde data are used to statistically analyze the ionospheric correlation distance, and the variation of ionospheric correlation distances with local times, magnetic latitudes, and seasons are obtained. The statistical analysis results show that the zonal ionospheric correlation distance presents minima in the equatorial ionospheric anomaly crest regions. Additionally, the meridional correlation distance in middle magnetic latitudes is greater than that in other regions. The zonal ionospheric correlation distance presents obvious local‐time variability. The variation trends of the meridional and zonal correlation distance during spring and autumn are similar. The patterns of the ionospheric correlation range variation with local times, magnetic latitudes, and seasons can be used to select the optimal locations or spacing for ionosonde stations, shortwave multi‐station systems, and shortwave radio beacons.

Correlation between end-weight principle and adjective clauses in English: Q1 SCOPUS applied linguistics articles and Thai EFL learners’ essays

The researcher in this study applied the notions of quantitative method, theoretical linguistics and applied linguistics to examine the correlation between the linguistic theory of end-weight principle and English adjective clauses in Q1-SCOPUS applied linguistics articles and Thai EFL learners’ descriptive essays. The significance of this study is that structure and use in writing should be learned simultaneously. This current study also innovatively supports Thai EFL learners to examine their linguistic competence in structuring information in their English writing. The data collection in this study was divided into two datasets. The first dataset was 20 Q1-SCOPUS applied linguistics articles published between 2022 and 2024. Approximately 200,000 words provided 117 sentences containing adjective clauses in the final position or VP-postmodifiers. On the other hand, the second dataset was 67 descriptive essays written by Thai EFL high-school learners from both public schools and private schools under the supervision of the Ministry of Education, Thailand. The original theory of the end-weight principle proposed by Quirk et al. (1972) is followed in this study. The syntactic structure of adjective clauses follows Radford (2009) who analyzed adjective clauses as complementizer phrases (CP). The inferential statistical analysis of correlation follows SPSS 29. The results showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the datasets of applied linguistics articles and EFL learners’ descriptive essays where the p-values were reported at 0.01 and 0.02, respectively. Not only do these statistical relationships show that English is an end-weight language, but also Thai EFL learners can follow the norm accurately. This is due to the positive effect of the mother tongue interference since the Thai language is an end-weight language. The pedagogical implication of the study to EFL learners is that information structures should be contributed to grammar classes. For future studies, it is recommended to test the hypothesis of the end-weight principle with reduced adjective clauses in the medial position of sentences.

Abstract 2529: Comparison of small cell lung cancer transcriptional factor expression by immunohistochemistry, multiplex immunofluorescence, and a targeted RNA expression panel

Abstract Recent studies have identified distinct molecular subtypes of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (SCLC-A, SCLC-N, SCLC-P, and SCLC-Y) based on ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 expression. In this study, we investigated the correlation between immunohistochemistry (IHC), multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF), and RNA Salah Targeted Expression Panel (RNA STEP) for ASCL1, NEUROD1, POU2F3, and YAP1 in formalin-fixed-paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from 14 SCLC samples collected under an IRB-approved protocol (MCC19163). For the mIF evaluation, FFPE samples were immunostained using the AKOYA Biosciences OPAL TM 7-Color Automation IHC kit on the BOND RX autostainer. For RNA STEP, nanoString nCounter TagSet chemistry was used to measure gene expression levels of test FFPE samples relative to a reference pooled human normal mRNA control. All three methods demonstrated significant correlation for ASCL1 levels (Table 1). IHC and RNA STEP NEUROD1 results exhibited significant correlation. However, mIF NEUROD1 results did not correlate with the results of other methods likely due to non-specific positivity of the NEUROD1 mIF antibody. No strong correlation was observed between any of the methods for POU2F3 and YAP1. Only 2 of the 14 samples displayed positive POU2F3 protein expression by IHC; one of these also had elevated POU2F3 expression by RNA STEP. Importantly, the sample with the highest POU2F3 protein expression by IHC also had the highest values by mIF and RNA STEP. All samples were negative for YAP1 by IHC and RNA STEP. Notably, ASCL1 staining was primarily observed in CD56+ POU2F3- cells by mIF. These findings highlight the reliability and utility of IHC and RNA STEP in assessing transcriptional factors in SCLC. Also, mIF presents an innovative method for the simultaneous analysis of multiple markers using a single tissue section, enabling the concurrent detection of multiple markers within individual cells.

청년 아르바이트생의 차별경험과 진로미결정의 관계

Objectives In this study, we tested the mediating effect of belief in a just world in the relationship between young part-time workers' experiences of discrimination and career indecision.
 Methods An online survey was conducted targeting young people aged 15 to 34 with part-time work experience. The final 259 copies were used for statistical analysis. Descriptive statistical analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis were performed using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program. And to verify the mediation effect, bootstrapping was performed to verify statistical significance.
 Results The average experience of discrimination was 3.06, the average career indecision was 2.32, and the average belief in a fair world was 3.77. and the average belief in a just world was 3.77. There was a positive correlation that the more discrimination experiences young part-time workers had, the higher their career indecision. There was a negative correlation between the experience of discrimination and overall belief in a just world, distributive justice belief, and procedural justice belief. It was confirmed that belief in a just world had a full mediating effect on the impact of youth discrimination experiences on career indecision. In addition, the partial mediating effect of distributive justice belief and the full mediating effect of procedural justice belief, which are subvariables of belief in a just world, were confirmed.
 Conclusions This study emphasizes the need to consider the cognitive variable of belief in a just world in the relationship between young part-time workers' experiences of discrimination and career indecision. Based on this, we laid the foundation to reduce the career indecision of young part-time workers who are experiencing discrimination and provide education and counseling opportunities to help young people enter the labor market.

Predicting the development of vulvar lichen sclerosus

Relevance. The issue of timely diagnosis and treatment of vulvar lichen sclerosus has become especially acute in recent years due to the “rejuvenation” of the disease and the risk of its malignancy. In this regard, it is urgent to search for effective methods for predicting and early detection of the disease. The aim of the study - to develop amodel for predicting vulvar lichen sclerosus based on established clinical and anamnestic risk factors. Materials and Methods. The prospective case-control study included 404 women aged 20 to 70 years, of which 344 were patients with vulvar lichen sclerosus and 60 were women without vulvar diseases. At the first stage, acomparative statistical correlation analysis of the clinical and anamnestic data of the subjects was carried out using the Spearman correlation coefficient (R0.15), Chi-square tests, Phi and Cramer statistics, the Mann-­Whitney U test and the Student t test (p 0.05). The data obtained were used to develop aneural network model for predicting vulvar lichen sclerosus in the second stage of the study. Results and Discussion. Based on established reliably significant (p0.05) obstetric-­gynecological, somatic, infectious, hygienic and household factors influencing the risk of developing vulvar lichen sclerosus (Rindicator - from 0.16 to 0.38 confirms the statistical significance of correlations), aneural network model for predicting vulvar lichen sclerosus was developed (the percentage of correct classification on the test sample is the maximum possible value - 100%) and acomputer program was written that automates the procedure for predicting the disease. Conclusion. The neural network model for predicting the disease, developed on the basis of reliably (p0.05) significant risk factors for vulvar lichen sclerosus, has high prognostic properties, and acomputer program written on its basis allows the doctor in amatter of minutes to identify the patient at risk for the development of vulvar lichen sclerosus and give she needs preventive recommendations aimed at preventing or early detection of the disease.

The relationship between self-consciousness and depression in college students: the chain mediating effect of meaning life and self-efficacy, with the moderating effect of social support

BackgroundThis study aimed to investigate the impact of self-consciousness on depression of college students, and mainly focus on confirming the mediator role of life meaningful and self-efficacy, as well as the moderator role of social support.MethodsIn the present study, convenient sampling method was adopted, 583 college students were recruited from Harbin city and Wenzhou city in China. All students were assessed using self-assessment scales, including self-consciousness scale, life meaningful scale, self-efficacy scale, social support scale, and self-rating depression scale. Descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis, structural equation model analysis were conducted by SPSS 25.0 and M-plus.ResultsResults showed that self-consciousness was negatively related to depression, life meaningful and self-efficacy partially mediated the relation between self-consciousness and depression. Moderated mediation analysis further indicated that the relation between self-efficacy and depression were moderated bu social support. Compare with college students who had high social support, depression in those with low social support was more susceptible to the effect of self-efficacy.ConclusionThese findings imply that college students with low levels of self-consciousness are more easy to be depressive, enhancing their sense of life meaning and self-efficacy can effectively alleviate depression, and college student with high social support can benefit more from self-efficacy. Therefore we should pay more attention to the mental health problems of low levels self-consciousness college students in university.
