摘要:
Feelings of positive awe have been hypothesized to promote prosocial behaviors in Western contexts. However, the emergent scientific study of awe rarely emphasizes the downstream effect of negative awe on prosocial tendency. In this study, we aimed to explore the association between awe and prosocial tendency across three studies systematically. First, we examined whether dispositional awe is associated with prosocial tendencies (Study 1), we administered the Dispositional Positive Emotion Scale (DPES) and Prosocial Tendencies Measures (PTM), to a nonclinical sample of Chinese college students (N = 269). Second, in the two follow-up studies, we tested the causal role of momentary feeling of different variants of awe (positive and negative awe) on prosocial tendencies. We used video clips to induce the emotion of positive and negative awe. After inducing awe, we first examined participants' emotional states using the Emotional Self-rating Scale, and then evaluated their behavior tendency in a specified scenario involving donations of money (Study 2), and time (Study 3). Results demonstrated that individuals higher in dispositional awe exhibited more prosocial tendency (Study 1). Participants in both positive and negative awe conditions wanted to donate more money than in the neutral condition (Study 2). Experimentally inducing positive awe rather than negative awe caused individuals to volunteer more time for strangers (Study 3). Taken together, these results indicate that awe does not make people more prosocial in general but suggest that positive and negative awe have their own specific paths to greater prosociality.

摘要:
Glutamate transporter GLT1 mediates glutamate uptake, and maintains glutamate homeostasis in the synaptic cleft. Previous studies suggest that blockade of glutamate uptake affects synaptic transmission and plasticity. However, the effect of GLT1 blockade on learning and memory still receives little attention. In the present study, we examined the effect of unilateral intracerebroventricular injection of dihydrokainic acid (DHK), a GLT-1 inhibitor, on novel object recognition (NOR) memory performance. The NOR task involved three sessions including habituation, sampling and test. In experiment 1, DHK injection 0.5 h pre-sampling impaired short-term NOR memory performance. In experiment 2, DHK injection 0.5 h pre-sampling impaired long-term NOR memory acquisition. In experiment 3, DHK injection immediately but not 6h post-sampling impaired long-term NOR memory consolidation. In experiment 4, DHK injection 0.5 h pre-test impaired long-term NOR memory retrieval. Furthermore, DHK-induced memory performance impairment was not due to its effects on nonspecific responses such as locomotor activity and exploratory behavior. The current findings further extend previous studies on the effects of disruption of glutamate homeostasis on learning and memory.
摘要:
AIM: A randomised controlled trial (RCT) was implemented to verify the feasibility and acceptability of cognitive education in the format of mind maps for increasing perceived control and decreasing the symptom distress of lung cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy. METHODS: A total of 136 lung cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy were randomised using stratified blocks (1:1 ratio, from March 2016 to April 2017). The intervention group was given cognitive education in the format of mind maps. The control group was provided conventional education. The primary outcomes were perceived control, including cancer experience and cancer efficacy; the secondary outcomes included symptom distress (arising from fatigue, distress, sleep disturbance, poor appetite, drowsiness, shortness of breath, etc.). The Mann-Whitney U test, chi-squared test, two-sample t test and repeated measurement analysis of variance were used. RESULTS: Ninety-four patients completed the final study. The results of the repeated measurement analysis of variance indicated that at the 8th or 12th week following cognitive education intervention in the format of mind maps, the cancer experience, cancer efficacy (except personal efficacy) and symptom distress (arising from fatigue, distress, sleep disturbance, and sadness and its total scores) of the patients in the intervention group were considerably improved compared with those of the control group (p < 0.05). The longer the intervention was, the higher the level of the patients' perceived control was and the lower the degree of patient symptom distress was (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that cognitive education in the format of mind maps could improve perceived control and decrease the symptom distress of lung cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy and that it was feasible and acceptable. Cognitive education in the format of mind maps was found to be an effective teaching tool for lung cancer patients who were receiving chemotherapy.
摘要:
It is the fact that there are lots of hazard incidents in underground uranium mines caused by radon but in-suit uranium samples were difficult to collect. Based on closed chamber method, three similar samples in different sealed ways were made in a laboratory with different material rations, namely uranium tailings, quartz sand, cement, iron powder and silicon powder to measure the radon concentrations with and without low-frequency vibrations, which was used by the experimental device for low-frequency vibration diffusion of radon. The results showed that the radon exhalation coming from the similar samples was influenced by the low frequency vibration; the results are presented as two-stage variations compared with the blank group. The radon exhalation increased with the rising vibration frequency when the frequency was 50 to 70 Hz, but fell slowly after reaching the peak radon exhalation rate. Analyses of the relations between the rock damage degree, changes in porosity and the occurrence of an inflection point in the radon exhalation rate in the samples found that they also increased when the frequency was between 0 to 80 in sample 3. The maximum porosity of the third samples was about 4.8% with a low-frequency vibration 60 Hz, while the maximum damage degree was about 0.07 at 50 Hz.

摘要:
In this paper, we present the availability of an active pixel sensor (APS) with four transistors (4T) as a video monitor and radiation detector. Analyzing radiation damage must be one of the first steps in recovering from nuclear accidents, and the radiation response characteristic is the basis for the use of 4T-APS to detect radiation. The goal of this work is to suggest the use of cameras with 4T-APS in widely distributed irradiation detectors. The total ionizing dose (TID) of radiation damage on 4T-APS provided a threshold. Radiation tolerance was improved with the help of a radiation shielding structure. The radiation response showed integration time dependence and pixel information dependence, and greater radiation response was observed from the pixels with lower grayscale values. Two methods are suggested based on different monitoring scenes. This study can help to greatly improve nuclear accident emergency response and the safety of nuclear facilities.

摘要:
Faced with risks aroused by the ever-increasing expansion of industrialization and urbanization, water security sustainability takes more and more effect on balancing regional sustainability and development, especially for industrial regions. Introducing sustainability into the indicator framework of water security is an indispensable issue should be addressed. The indicators of water security sustainability in practice are measured by observation data obtained from a monitoring period. These data are commonly expressed in various forms, such as ratio and qualitative linguistic, which makes them hard to be quantified and evaluated. As multiply influential criteria are involved the water security sustainability evaluation process, it can be treated as a multi-criteria decision making problem. An appropriate evaluation framework with scientific and strategic multi-criteria decision making techniques is supposed to be constructed. This paper incorporates the dimensions related to sustainability into the indicator framework of water security sustainability. Another contribution of this paper is that it establishes an observation data conversion standard and adopts linguistic distribution assessments as information representation. Linguistic distribution assessments can capture the natural characteristics of the observation data of water security sustainability indicators. More importantly, a multistage decision support framework integrated with multi-criteria decision making techniques, such as best-worst method (BWM), decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), is constructed for water security sustainability evaluation. Then, deep analyzes about the evaluation results and influential factors are provided, thereby certifying the reliability of evaluation results and facilitating the enhancement of water security sustainability.

摘要:
Stock evaluation is a significant decision-making activity for investors. Due to the complexity of stock exchange market, evaluation information may be fuzzy and stochastic in the meantime. Therefore, it is essential to conduct the research on fuzzy stochastic multi-criteria decision-making (FSMCDM) methods. In this paper, at the beginning, we propose interval neutrosophic probability from the definition of neutrosophic probability. Then, a novel MCDM method is proposed with interval neutrosophic probability based on regret theory, in which criteria values are interval neutrosophic numbers (INNs). The method proposed with interval neutrosophic probability may be much better than methods using classic probability or fuzzy probability. Next, we apply the proposed method to stock selection problems and discuss the influence of parameters on ranking results. Finally, we compare regret theory with prospect theory, which is also an important theory of bounded rationality just like regret theory, to emphasize the characteristics the regret theory. Moreover, a comparative analysis is also conducted between the proposed method and existing methods under interval neutrosophic environment to demonstrate efficiency and applicability of the proposed method.

摘要:
Background and aim: The Pain Sensitivity Questionnaire (PSQ), a self-reported scale, has been used to assess the pain sensitivity level in a Caucasian population. However, a validated Mandarin Chinese version of the PSQ is not available. This study was aimed to translate the PSQ into Mandarin Chinese (PSQ-C) and validate it to measure pain sensitivity among Chinese people. Methods: The English version of the PSQ has been translated into Mandarin Chinese (PSQ-C), according to the standard steps of cross-cultural adaptation of self-reported scales. Three of the 17 items were revised owing to cultural adaptation. The final version was validated on a population of 182 Chinese people in Changsha city, China, during October to December 2015. The participants underwent electrical experimental pain testing. The psychometric properties of the PSQ-C and its subscales were examined. Results: The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the PSQ-C-total, PSQ-C-moderate, and PSQ-C-minor were 0.90, 0.86, and 0.81, respectively. Acceptable test-retest reliability, content validity, and construct validity were demonstrated. Concurrent validity was shown via significant positive correlations between PSQ-C scores and perceived pain intensity at pain threshold and during pain stimulation with a fixed intensity. Convergent validity was shown via significant positive correlations between Pain Catastrophizing Scale scores and PSQ-C scores. Known group validity was demonstrated via higher PSQ-C-total and PSQ-C-moderate scores among those with high neuroticism scores. These results indicate that the PSQ-C has reasonably good psychometric properties, similar to the original English and German versions. Conclusion: The PSQ-C is a reliable and useful tool to assess pain sensitivity levels in a Chinese population. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
