The effect of parental and teacher autonomy support and core self-evaluations: a three-wave longitudinal study of middle students' career adaptability.

Introduction: According to career construction theory, middle school students are in a critical phase of growth and exploration that requires self-reflection on their interests, values, and aspirations. Career adaptability is a key indicator of career development for middle school students and a crucial ability for achieving career success. Research indicates that many Chinese middle school students face significant hurdles in their career development, including a lack of motivation, limited self-awareness, and unclear career trajectories.

Room-Temperature Band-Aligned Infrared Heterostructures for Integrable Sensing and Communication.

The demand for miniaturized and integrated multifunctional devices drives the progression of high-performance infrared photodetectors for diverse applications, including remote sensing, air defense, and communications, among others.

Laminated structural AlO/YAG:Ce composite ceramic phosphor with high front light emission for transmissive laser lighting.

The realization of high front light emission in laser lighting under transmissive modes is heavily constrained by low thermal stability and light extraction efficiency of color converter materials. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the heat dissipation capacity and light utilization efficiency of the color converter through appropriate microstructural adjustments. In this study, what we believe to be a novel laminated structure consisting of AlO and YAG:Ce was designed and fabricated for transmissive laser lighting.

Exploring the intentional unsafe behavior of workers in prefabricated construction based on structural equation modeling.

Compared with traditional onsite construction, prefabricated construction has a more complex working environment, resulting in more safety risks. While cognitive failure has been identified as a primary cause of intentional unsafe behaviors, there remains a lack of knowledge on the formation mechanism underlying intentional unsafe behaviors among workers in precast construction. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior and the risk preference variable, this study constructs a theoretical model for intentional unsafe behaviors of precast construction workers.

The associated evolution of raptorial foreleg and mantispid diversification during 200 million years.

Mantispidae have developed multidimensional specializations of predation that are leveraged by trade-offs involving attack properties, which is revealed by interdisciplinary analyses of phylogeny, morphometrics, and mechanical modeling. The lineage diversification was stimulated by its raptorial foreleg evolution, and was influenced by the ecosystem of corresponding periods, involving biotic and physical factors.
