摘要:
Urban expansion is a controversial process where territorial conflicts of differing interests and objectives become manifest. The existing interpretations of urban expansion pay insufficient attention to the strategies deployed by municipal governments to resolve the territorial conflicts arising out of urban expansion. This paper identifies two key bargaining arenas through which municipal governments mitigate the territorial complications of urban expansion. First, administrative annexation not only involves municipal governments to gain control over more territory, but also entails strategies adopted to reconcile conflicts created by administrative restructuration, such as offering preferential fiscal and job arrangements. Second, land acquisition is not only about livelihood restoration of landless farmers but is also about converting them into citizens constituting new urban communities and integrating them into the urban mode of production. These bargaining arenas are the sites where the benefits and concessions of urban expansion are negotiated, and they play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of urban expansion by resolving potential conflicts among stakeholders.

Abstract Background Psychological symptoms and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) are independently associated with suicide attempts (SA). Yet, no study has tested the interaction effects between NSSI and psychological symptoms on SA in community adolescent populations, or examined whether the interaction varies by gender. We sought to examine the interaction effects of NSSI and psychological symptoms on SA in adolescents and explore gender differences. Methods A school-based health survey in 3 provinces in China was conducted between 2013-2014. 14,820 students aged 10-20 years completed standard questionnaires, to record the details of various psychological symptoms, SA and NSSI. Results Psychological symptoms and NSSI were independently associated with a higher likelihood of SA in both boys and girls (p<0.001). Adolescents with psychological, conduct or social adaptation symptoms without concurrent NSSI, were twice as likely to report SA (corresponding RORs were 1.80, 1.80 and 2.16, respectively; p<0.01) than those who reported NSSI. Male adolescents with psychological, emotional, conduct or social adaptation symptoms had a higher risk of SA in the non-NSSI group than the NSSI group (corresponding RORs were 2.85, 2.26, 2.30 and 3.01 respectively; p<0.01). While in girls, only adolescents with social adaptation symptoms had a higher risk of SA in the non-NSSI group than NSSI group (corresponding RORs was 1.71, p<0.05). In the non-NSSI group, boys reporting psychological symptoms exhibited a higher likelihood of a SA than their female counterparts. Conclusion Psychological symptoms and NSSI are independently associated with an increased risk of SA in adolescents. However, to some extent, NSSI may reduce the risk of SA among individuals with psychological symptoms, especially in boys.

摘要:
INTRODUCTION: The 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has burdened and threatened the psychological health of people around the world, especially those of front-line medical staff. This study aimed to explore the mental-health status and its associated factors amongst the medical workforce of Xinjiang province under the normalisation of the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control. METHODS: A total of 408 medical staff were recruited from February 20 to March 10, 2021. Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90) scale, Social support Scale, and Simplified Coping-Style Questionnaire were applied to assess their mental-health status and stress-coping tendency. Descriptive analyses, welch's T-test, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression were used to analyse the data. RESULTS: The prevalence of mental-health problems was 20.25% (80/395) amongst the surveyed medical staff, and their total symptom mean score (1.31 ± 0.40) was lower than that of the general population (1.44 ± 0.43). Logistic regression analysis revealed that nurse, individual with poor health condition, those who lived with their elderly parents at home, those receiving less social support, and those with a negative stress-coping style were more likely to show psychological problems. CONCLUSION: More attention should be paid to the mental state of the medical workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government and professional institutes should facilitate social supportive activities and essential counselling services to help strengthen the psychological resilience of medical staff. Additionally, it is necessary for health administration committee and hospitals to make COVID-19 prevention practice guides and risk communication principles for improving the mental health of the front-line medical staff.

摘要:
The present study aimed to investigate the influence of work passion and career exploration on the relationship between family influence and career calling. The survey sample consisted of 410 primary and middle school teachers from 12 public schools in China (female = 353; mean age = 32.91 years, SD = 6.75 years). Results indicated that a positive family influence predicted a higher career calling. Furthermore, work passion and career exploration mediated the relationship between family influence and career calling. Additionally, career exploration mediated the relationship between work passion and career calling, increasing the prediction of career calling. Our findings suggest that family influence is an important resource for career calling in the presence of work passion and career exploration.

摘要:
Green brand evangelism builds an important psychological and behavioral basis on promoting the positive interaction between green brands and consumers, as well as on realizing the co-creation of green brand value. This study selects brand authenticity issues as the entry point and investigates brand authenticity on green brand evangelism. In particular, this study tests the effects of green transparency and green skepticism on brand authenticity, as well as the role of self-brand connection and the need for cognition on the relationship between brand authenticity and green brand evangelism. With a sample of 641 Chinese respondents of green building materials, the dimension and scale of green brand evangelism were acquired by utilizing the grounded theory, and the hypothesized relationships were tested by employing structural equation modeling. The findings suggest that green transparency and green skepticism yield an influence on brand authenticity, and brand authenticity exerts a great influence on green brand authenticity. Moreover, brand authenticity positively affects self-brand connection, which in turn positively influences green brand authenticity, and the relationship between brand authenticity and green brand evangelism is regulated by the need for cognition.
摘要:
Although emerging evidence has implicated structural/functional abnormalities of patients with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), definitive neuroimaging markers remain obscured due to inconsistent or incompatible findings, especially for structural imaging. Furthermore, brain differences defined by statistical analysis are difficult to implement individual prediction. The present study has employed the machine learning techniques under the unified framework in neuroimaging to identify the neuroimaging markers of patients with ASD and distinguish them from typically developing controls(TDC). To enhance the interpretability of the machine learning model, the study has processed three levels of assessments including model-level assessment, feature-level assessment, and biology-level assessment. According to these three levels assessment, the study has identified neuroimaging markers of ASD including the opercular part of bilateral inferior frontal gyrus, the orbital part of right inferior frontal gyrus, right rolandic operculum, right olfactory cortex, right gyrus rectus, right insula, left inferior parietal gyrus, bilateral supramarginal gyrus, bilateral angular gyrus, bilateral superior temporal gyrus, bilateral middle temporal gyrus, and left inferior temporal gyrus. In addition, negative correlations between the communication skill score in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS_G) and regional gray matter (GM) volume in the gyrus rectus, left middle temporal gyrus, and inferior temporal gyrus have been detected. A significant negative correlation has been found between the communication skill score in ADOS_G and the orbital part of the left inferior frontal gyrus. A negative correlation between verbal skill score and right angular gyrus and a significant negative correlation between non-verbal communication skill and right angular gyrus have been found. These findings in the study have suggested the GM alteration of ASD and correlated with the clinical severity of ASD disease symptoms. The interpretable machine learning framework gives sight to the pathophysiological mechanism of ASD but can also be extended to other diseases.

摘要:
Under the background of public health events, the government needs to adopt reasonable support strategies to help cultural enterprises tide over the crisis. However, the original analytic hierarchy process cannot be comprehensive and accurate analysis, resulting in that the government support strategy cannot play a role. Fish swarm algorithm is a comprehensive intelligent algorithm, which can comprehensively analyze the factors affecting the formulation of supporting strategies for cultural enterprises, and has the advantages of simple operation and strong analysis ability. Under this background, this paper puts forward a fish swarm model; this method is a comprehensive intelligent analysis method, which can help the government find the best support strategy from the perspectives of politics, economy, and society. In order to verify the effectiveness of the fish school model, this paper uses MATLAB software for verification; the results show that, in the support strategy classification, selection accuracy, and selection time, fish school model is superior to the analytic hierarchy process. Therefore, the fish swarm model can help the government to better choose supporting policies and help cultural enterprises tide over the crisis and improve the accuracy of formulating supporting strategies for cultural enterprises.
