Childhood emotional maltreatment and emotional intelligence in adolescents: The mediating role of mindfulness

BackgroundChildhood emotional maltreatment is detrimental to adolescents' emotional intelligence. However, most research has concentrated on the overall experience of childhood emotional maltreatment, leaving the outcomes of specific types of emotional maltreatment (i.e., emotional abuse and emotional neglect) and the mechanisms underlying these effects largely unexplored. ObjectiveGuided by the dimensional theory and the family risk factor model, this study used a two-wave longitudinal design to explore the association between two types of childhood emotional maltreatment and emotional intelligence. Furthermore, mindfulness's mediating role was also examined from the perspective of the schema theory. MethodsThis study included 580 Chinese teenagers (237 males; Mage = 15.94), who filled out questionnaires assessing childhood emotional maltreatment, mindfulness, and emotional intelligence. Path analyses and semi-longitudinal mediation analyses were conducted. ResultsAccording to the results of path analyses, only childhood emotional abuse predicted emotional intelligence, while neglect did not. Furthermore, the findings from the semi-longitudinal mediation indicated that mindfulness mediated the relationship between childhood emotional abuse and emotional intelligence. ConclusionsThe current study's findings highlighted the differential predictive effects of two types of childhood emotional maltreatment on emotional intelligence among teenagers, as well as the mediating role of mindfulness in this association. Thus, mindfulness may be a key area for intervention and may help to enhance the emotional intelligence of adolescents who have experienced childhood emotional abuse.

Feature Extraction and Classification of Retinal Images Using Sobel Segmentation and Linear SVC

Eye diseases such as Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, and Glaucoma are significant causes of visual impairment and blindness worldwide. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for effective treatment and management of these conditions. This study aimed to develop a machine learning model for the automated classification of retinal images into four categories: Normal, Diabetic Retinopathy, Cataract, and Glaucoma. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, comprised approximately 1000 images per class, which were pre-processed using Sobel segmentation to enhance relevant features. Hu Moments were employed for feature extraction due to their invariance to scale, rotation, and translation. The classification was performed using a Linear Support Vector Classifier (SVC), and the model's performance was evaluated through 5-fold cross-validation. The average performance metrics were 44.34% for accuracy, 48.26% for precision, 44.34% for recall, and 41.76% for F1-score. These results indicate that while Sobel segmentation and Hu Moments effectively highlight and capture essential features of retinal images, the Linear SVC classifier's performance is moderate, suggesting the need for more advanced classifiers. The study's findings contribute to the ongoing research in automated eye disease diagnosis by demonstrating the strengths and limitations of classical image processing and machine learning techniques. Future research should focus on exploring more sophisticated models, such as convolutional neural networks, and addressing dataset imbalances to enhance classification accuracy and reliability. This study underscores the potential for automated diagnostic tools in clinical settings but also highlights the necessity for further optimization to achieve practical applicability.

Aimed to: find out if there are relationship between kidney failure disease and family genetic history. Material and Methods: Data were collected using interviewer-administered questionnaires. Data from the biochemical analysis and questionnaire with a Google form survey were recorded in Microsoft Excel. Results: The percentage of Gender for hemodialysis patients males 61(57.6%) more than females 45(42.5%), the correlation between age and other variables is quite weak (R = 0.098, P = 0.315). Gender also shows a weak correlation with other variables (R = 0.049, P = 0.616). There is a significant correlation between having a family member with a parathyroid gland issue and other factors (R = 0.248, P < 0.010). The strongest correlation found is between having a family member who suffers or has suffered from kidney failure and other factors (R = 0.277, P = 0.004). Conclusion: The weak correlations with age and gender indicate that these factors might not be central to the study's main findings.

Digital transformation and goodwill impairment

ABSTRACT We utilise a sample M&A listed on the Chinese A-shares market between 2008 and 2021. Our focus is specifically on A-share listed companies that acted as acquiring firms. We conduct an empirical analysis to investigate how their digital transformation influences goodwill impairment. We find that digital transformation significantly reduces goodwill impairment. Mechanism testing further suggests that digital transformation mitigates goodwill impairment by alleviating information asymmetry. The effect is more pronounced when the acquiring firms experience lower audit quality, less analyst coverage, or engage in cross-industry M&A. The main results are consistent following robustness tests. This study's findings provide valuable insights for enterprises that should accelerate digital transformation, improve information transparency and transmission efficiency, and reduce the degree of information asymmetry, thereby reducing the risk of M&A goodwill impairment.

Spiritual Well-being and Fate in the Patience Self-compassion Link Among University Students: A Turkish Perspective.

This study investigates the mediating roles of spiritual well-being and belief in fate in the relationship between patience and self-compassion among university students. The research was conducted with 670 students. Data were collected using the "Patience Scale", "Self-Compassion Scale," "Theistic Fate Perception Scale," and a "Personal Information Form." Analyses were performed using Process Macro Model 4 and Model 8. The findings indicate no significant relationship between self-compassion and spiritual well-being. However, an optimistic prediction was identified between spiritual well-being and patience. Furthermore, the study's findings have significant implications. It was found that spiritual well-being does not serve as a mediating role in the relationship between self-compassion and patience. Instead, belief in fate plays a regulatory role that strengthens the relationship between self-compassion and spiritual well-being. Among individuals with a high belief in fate, the prediction of spiritual well-being by self-compassion becomes more pronounced. Moreover, belief in fate regulates the indirect prediction of patience by self-compassion through spiritual well-being, opening up new avenues for research and practice. A number of limitations regarding this study are also noted.
