Confucian ethical spirituality and meaning in life: a longitudinal study of the mediating role of moral identity

Meaning in life is a core component of eudaimonic well-being. Dominant spiritual frameworks in psychology are mostly Western-centric and underrepresent Confucian-based ethical spirituality. Confucian Ethical Spirituality (CES) emphasizes moral self-cultivation, relational harmony...

Cross-cultural modeling of body satisfaction using social media selfies and self-descriptions

Abstract Body satisfaction is a core component of psychological well-being and is closely intertwined with how individuals present themselves on social media. While prior research has examined body image through self-report measures or qualitative analyses of online content, it r...

Green retrofitting in ceramics manufacturing industry: a hybrid LLM-MCDM approach

This study examines strategic retrofitting in high-end artistic ceramics manufacturing under stringent “Dual Carbon” regulations. Balancing regulatory compliance with artisanal integrity represents a significant industrial challenge. To address this multidimensional problem, this...

Bimetallic Sulfides for Next‐Generation Energy Systems: Structure‐Performance Correlations, Multidimensional Regulation, and Controllable Synthesis

ABSTRACT Bimetallic sulfides (BMSs) have emerged as promising candidates for advanced energy storage and conversion owing to their unique synergistic effects and tunable electronic configurations. However, their practical implementation is heavily hindered by intrinsic limitation...

High-entropy and phase engineering towards excellent energy storage performance in lead-free Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-based ceramics under moderate electric fields

While the high-entropy (HE) strategy has enabled lead-free dielectric ceramics to achieve ultra-high energy storage performance (ESP) under extreme electric fields ( E > 500 kV/cm), their ESP at moderate field fields (200 kV/cm ≤ E ≤ 500 kV/cm) remains restricted by the trade-off...

Inverse Opal Sn2– x TiO4/TiO2 S-Scheme Heterojunction with Slow Photon Effect for Photocatalytic Hydrogen Production and Degradation

Abstract Photocatalytic water splitting for hydrogen production is a crucial pathway for renewable energy conversion. However, conventional photocatalysts commonly face challenges such as low light absorption efficiency and severe recombination of photogenerated charge carriers....

Color Environment Characteristics and Tourist Perceptual Mechanisms in a Heritage Tourism Destination: Subjective and Objective Evidence and Renewal Implications from Taoyangli, Jingdezhen

In heritage tourism destinations, color contributes to both the visual quality of individual scenes and the continuity of the visitor route. Using Taoyangli in Jingdezhen as a case, this study examined how perceived color harmony, contrast, and continuity relate to visual comfort...

An Ejector Refrigeration and Humidification–Dehumidification Desalination Hybrid System for Ceramic Industry Waste Heat Recovery: Performance Evaluation and Parametric Analysis

The sustainable development of the ceramics industry is severely impeded by its intensive energy consumption and the concomitant deficits in cooling and freshwater resources. To address these bottlenecks, this study proposes an integrated ejector refrigeration (ER)–humidification...

HydrochloricAcid-Assisted Synthesis of Red EmissiveHybrid Mn2+ Halides for Wide Gamut Displays

Abstract Lead-free red emissive hybrid Mn2+-based metal halides have emerged as promising phosphors for lighting and display applications owing to their environmental friendliness and d–d transition. However, simultaneously enhancing emission efficiency and narrowing the red-emis...
