A network analysis of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression in women with pregnancy loss
BACKGROUND: Pregnancy loss represents a significant public health concern within the realm of female reproductive health. In the current landscape of research, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, and depression are often investigated as an undifferentiated whole. However, this approach overlooks the unique symptomatic relationships and nuances that may exist among these mental health conditions in women who have endured pregnancy loss…

Exercise prescription to improve executive functioning in children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Preliminary evidence suggests that moderate-intensity, skill-based exercise may improve inhibitory control and cognitive flexibility within 6-10 weeks. Aerobic exercise may enhance working memory within 4-5 weeks. However, factors such as ADHD subtypes, age, and dose-response relationships remain unclear. Clinical implementation should be individualised and await high-quality validation
The causal relationship between mental illness-related stigma and mental health knowledge among adolescents at different educational stages
An increase in mental health knowledge may not alleviate mental illness-related stigma among adolescent student, but might predict higher levels of stigma, particularly among university students. This suggests that educational interventions focusing solely on knowledge dissemination, without addressing emotional attitudes and social norms, may not only fail to effectively reduce stigma but could potentially produce counterproductive effects. Futu…
The effects of school bullying victimization on the development of adolescent depression across genders
Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to depression. This longitudinal study examines gender differences in the developmental trajectories of depressive symptoms and investigates how school bullying victimization influences these trajectories across genders. A total of 1,260 adolescents (58.3% female) participated in this study. Bullying victimization and depressive symptoms were measured by self-report at three waves spaced 6 months apart. We …

Coordination of Quantity Discount Contracts With Group Purchasing Organizations and Demand Information Sharing in Pharmaceutical Supply Chains
The double-marginal and bullwhip effects caused by information asymmetry are common in the actual operation of pharmaceutical supply chains. Introducing pharmaceutical group purchasing organizations (GPOs) increases the risk of these effects, leading to decision-making failures and reduced operational efficiency in pharmaceutical supply chains. This study addresses these issues by proposing a quantity discount contract coordination model that inc…
Pierre Jartoux and the Global Trade during the Qing
This essay traces the rise of ginseng as a crucial commodity in the Qing Dynasty, focusing on its integration into the empire’s administrative and economic structures. Central to this transformation was Pierre Jartoux’s influential identification of ginseng, which reoriented its trade from inland markets to maritime routes. This shift not only enhanced its global circulation but also broadened its accessibility to diverse consumers. The essay spe…

Cognitive mechanisms underlying sense of agency
Sense of agency refers to the feeling of controlling one's own actions, and, through them, events in the outside world. Contrasting cognitive theories emphasize either the importance of motor predictions or of retrospective inference in this ubiquitous experience. Temporal binding refers to the subjective compression of the time interval between voluntary actions and their outcomes and offers a reliable, quantitative measure of sense of agency. A…

A multimodal analysis of the online translanguaging practices of international students studying Chinese in a Chinese university
Previous research has recognised the value of translanguaging in Chinese language teaching but has focused primarily on using English as the medium of instruction. However, teachers and students may not share a common language with which to communicate in a multilingual class, which is a significant challenge in Chinese learning and teaching. This study incorporates translanguaging into the pedagogical design by implementing a translanguaging-bas…

Learning English to fly
Due to a growing concern with the English language competence of international airline pilots, a growing body of research has been conducted on issues related to the International Aviation English Test, which pilots need to pass in order to fly on international routes (e.g. Jones, 2003; Ragan, 1997; Seiler, 2009). This paper contributes to this research by reporting on a mixed method inquiry into Chinese pilots’ engagement with learning English f…

Topological Properties of Brain Structural Networks Represent Early Predictive Characteristics for the Occurrence of Bipolar Disorder in Patients With Major Depressive Disorder
Bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are associated with different brain functional and structural abnormalities, but BD is hard to distinguish from MDD until the first manic or hypomanic episode. The aim of this study was to examine whether the topological properties of the brain structural network could be used to differentiate BD from MDD patients before their first manic/hypomanic episode. Diffusion tensor images were col…
