Previous research showed that in the individualistic culture, adults endorse personal more than general belief a just world (PBJW vs. GBJW). Comparatively little is known about prevalence character and adaptive functions of GBJW, especially collectivistic culture. We conducted three surveys among Chinese adolescents. found (1) adolescents endorsed GBJW PBJW; (2) Adult survivors with high exposure to post–earthquake trauma poverty–stricken area maintained relatively lower PBJW. (3) predicted...

Objective The acquisition of fine motor skills is considered to be a crucial developmental milestone throughout early childhood. This study aimed investigate the performance young children with different disability diagnoses. Methods We enrolled sample 1,897 under age 6 years who were at risk delays and identified by transdisciplinary team. A series standardized assessments included Bayley Scales Infant Development-Third Edition, Wechsler Preschool Primary Scale Intelligence-Fourth Peabody...

Background The human ability to envision the future, that is, take a future perspective (FP), plays key role in justice motive and its function transcending disadvantages misfortunes. present research investigated whether individual (Study 1) situational 2) differences FP moderated association of general belief just world (GBJW) with psychological resilience. Methodology/Principal Findings We FP, GBJW, resilience sample adolescents (n = 223) disaster survivors 218) China. In Study 1,...

Relative deprivation (RD) refers to the fact that individuals may feel deprived of some desirable thing in social comparison relative a reference group. Occupational group is widely recognized as essential and generally used compare differences earnings position. Four waves' data from Social Attitudes Survey Urban‐Rural Residents (China) (SAS‐C; 2005/2007/2008/2009) were compute Stewart's new measure RD for different occupational groups its relationship life satisfaction (a cognitive...

Individuals with subclinical depression are prone to major and experience emotional responses attentional biases negative stimuli. In a randomized controlled study (N = 42) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we examined the neurocognitive mechanisms behind mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) combining loving-kindness meditation (LKM) on group compared relaxation across face n-back (EFNBACK) tasks resting state. We also collected behavioral self-reported data confirm...

A systematic approach has been used to form molecular imprints of creatine kinase (CK) using micro-contact imprinting. Using thermocalorimetry data, we selected poly(ethylene glycol) 400 dimethacrylate (PEG400DMA) as our crosslinker, on the basis that it would be expected have minimal specific recognition when incorporated into imprinted polymer. The functional monomer used, methacrylic acid (MAA), was chosen from a panel six candidates giving highest differential affinity with respect...

An area-efficient pulsewidth modulation (PWM)-residual-aliasing reduction technique is proposed for Class-D audio amplifiers by utilizing a low-complexity feed-forward path to cancel the PWM high-frequency components inside feedback loop. The reduces PWM-residual-aliasing distortion without increasing required switching frequency or power-hungry controller circuits, thereby lowering both quiescent current and total harmonic plus noise (THD+N) in amplifiers. Measurement results show that...

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a psychiatric illness characterized by excessively restricted caloric intake and abnormally high levels of physical activity. A challenging to treat, due the lack understanding underlying neurobiology, AN has highest mortality rate among illnesses. To address this need, neuroscientists are using an animal model study how neural circuits may contribute toward vulnerability be affected AN. Activity-based anorexia (ABA) bio-behavioral phenomenon described in rodents...

This paper studies households’ expenditure on the education of children in China’s cities to assess how internal migrant families’ investment human capital their offspring differs from that local urban families. The private education-related reflects both willingness invest and institutional constraints, as household registration (hukou) system prevents without a city hukou enrolling public schools. In-school fees (consisting statutory tuition fees) are commonly topped-up with substantial...

A sample 650 were recruited from public health centres (PHC) and outpatient clinics Southern structured questionnaire with five subscales, knowledge, skills, empowerment, team collaboration self-reflection developed used for data collection. total 588 questionnaires returned analysis. Nearly 20% reported having an acquaintance a maltreatment history. Only 4.6% had...

Based on the career construction therapy, this paper explores relationship between personality, calling, engagement(CE) and self-defeating job search behavior(procrastination impulsiveness) among university students, as well intermediary role of adaptability(CA) in relationship. 337 students were randomly selected from 2 universities to complete big five personality scale, brief calling engagement scale procrastination impulsive behavior for statistical analysis including correlation...

This research aimed to examine the relationships between college education outcome expectation, proactive personality, career adaptability and learning motivation. 576 Chinese students participated in this study. The results were as follows: (1)Significant differences with without siblings found dimension of adaptability's total score, also concern, control, curiosity confidence adaptability, well score motivation its intrinsic motivation; whereas no significant difference existed...

Low quiescent current (I <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Q</sub> ) is critical for Class-D audio amplifiers in mobile devices to extend battery usage time [1], since typical signals have a high crest factor of 10 20dB. In addition, low distortion also important fidelity. Distortion sources closed-loop can be classified into two types. One attributed the nonlinearities PWM modulators and power stages, while other due aliasing...

This two‐stage study aimed to develop and validate a paediatric abusive head trauma (AHT) awareness questionnaire for healthcare professionals. In stage one, an item pool was created the AHT questionnaire. Four experts assessed content validity. Test–retest reliability internal consistency were examined using pilot of 24 two, 302 professionals from medical centre in southern Taiwan recruited establish questionnaire's psychometric properties. The final version comprised 81 items, including...
