Intensive Care Unit Patients' Perspectives and Experiences in Using Virtual Reality Technology: A Qualitative Meta‐Synthesis

BACKGROUND: As Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survival improves, attention has shifted towards patients' psychological well-being and recovery. Although Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly used in critical care, patients' experiences of VR interventions have not been comprehensively...

How incentive mechanisms affect the dynamic internalization of low-carbon behavior? A perspective from carbon inclusion platforms

The carbon inclusion platform, as an important digital tool for promoting public low-carbon lifestyles, guides individuals to engage in low-carbon behavior through mechanisms such as point incentives, behavioral feedback, and social interaction, and plays an increasingly importan...

Customized Itinerant Frequency Combs by Cascaded Nonlinear Effects

ABSTRACT Frequency combs are pivotal in nonlinear optics, with extensive applications in modern optics and precision measurement. Precise control over their critical parameters is essential to enhance performance and expand the range of applications. In this work, we develop a ca...

Preschoolers' peer preferences for observable empathy‐related responses to others' emotions

Abstract Empathy supports early peer relationships, yet whether preschoolers use unfamiliar peers' observable empathy‐related responses when making initial peer choices remains unclear. Guided by a functionalist perspective, the present research examined whether preschoolers' pee...

Dual-Factor Mental Health Profiles Among Rural School Teachers in China: Associations With Sociodemographic, Occupational, Health Behaviors, and Psychosocial Factors

This study aimed to identify heterogeneous profiles of school teachers in rural China and to examine whether these profiles differed across sociodemographic, work-related, health behavior, and psychosocial factors. Participants were 513 teachers from rural schools in Hunan Provin...

Noise learning of audio magnetotellurics data with a combination of inception multi-scale residual and dual-decoder U-Net

Abstract Audio magnetotellurics (AMT), as a commonly used reliable geophysical technique, provides outstanding metal ore exploration capabilities based on the resistivity structure of the earth. However, the accuracy of data acquisition is significantly impacted by external elect...

Null controllability for degenerate parabolic equations with internal control applied on a measurable subset

This paper investigates the null controllability of a class of two-dimensional linear parabolic equations with a boundary degeneracy on the domain Ω = 𝕋 × ( 0 , 1 ) , where the internal control acts on a space-time measurable subset of positive measure. Unlike conventional open c...

Afforestation enhances ecosystem stability in the farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China, but its effects are constrained by water availability

Abstract The farming-pastoral ecotone of northern China (FPENC), a typical semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral ecologically fragile zone, has long faced controversy over afforestation due to its water-limited environment, raising concerns about how afforestation affects this frag...

High sperm DNA fragmentation is associated with increased embryonic chromosomal abnormality: a retrospective study of 8 years involving 5637 couples undergoing ART

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Does sperm DNA fragmentation impair blastocyst chromosomal integrity? SUMMARY ANSWER A high sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) is associated with an increased risk of blastocyst aneuploidy, particularly when the man has poor semen quality or when the fema...

The lung–brain axis and neuroinflammation: a convergence model and the role of exercise

Pulmonary and neurological disorders are increasingly recognized as interconnected manifestations of systemic neuroimmune dysregulation mediated by the lung–brain axis. Diverse pulmonary insults, including acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease...

With the development of the advanced educational platform, more and more personalized recommendation systems are used to increase the efficiency of learning and make the dissemination of the educational resources easier. However, educational recommendation tasks involve highly se...

Impact of Climate Change on Sustainable Development in China: A Regional Metabolism Perspective

ABSTRACT Climate change poses considerable challenges to global communities. This study proposes a novel framework that integrates seasonality and resilience to analyze regional metabolic responses to climate change in China. By using urban metabolism based on emergy analysis, th...

Open public data and stock price delay: evidence from a quasi-natural experiment in China

Stock price delay serves as a key metric of information efficiency in stock markets, and identifying its determinants is essential for promoting market information efficiency. This study examines the effect of open public data (OPD) on stock price delay. Using the staggered adopt...

Maternal di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) exposure alters offspring gut microbiota and the colonic transcriptome in a sex-specific manner

Maternal exposure to the plasticizer DEHP during gestation and lactation programs lasting sex-specific alterations in offspring intestinal health. This study investigated the transgenerational effects of perinatal DEHP exposure on offspring intestinal health using a C57BL/6 mouse...
