Article Synopsis
  • The study explores factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions among vocational college students to address employment pressures.
  • It uses the theory of planned behavior to analyze how entrepreneurial self-efficacy and attitudes mediate the relationship between creativity and entrepreneurial intentions, with a focus on the role of risk propensity.
  • Results show that self-efficacy is the strongest predictor of entrepreneurial intention, with social support also playing a significant role, while creativity's direct impact is minimal and mostly mediated by self-efficacy and attitude.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced higher education institutions to shift their teaching activities from traditional face-to-face to online learning. This brings a great challenge to the creativity training of vocational college students, who not only learn theoretical knowledge but also cultivate technical skills. Therefore, it is very important to explore the influencing factors of online learning on students' creativity during the epidemic.

With the proposal of "mass entrepreneurship, mass innovation" and other ideas, the demand for entrepreneurial talent in China is increasing, but the supply of entrepreneurial talent is far insufficient. Consistent with theory of social cognition and planned behavior, this study outlines a conceptual model including entrepreneurial intention (EI), emotional competency (EC), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), entrepreneurial attitude (EA), entrepreneurial education (EE), and subjective norms (SN). A structural equation model was applied through a questionnaire survey of 382 vocational college students in Jiangxi province to test the relationship between the constructs in the model.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the major drivers behind the entrepreneurial intention (EI) of students from higher vocational colleges in China. Total 424 respondents participated in the survey questionnaire that measured their self-reported responses to five constructs (EI, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, emotional competencies, subjective norms, and entrepreneurial attitude). In addition to this, the equation modeling technique was used to perform the data analysis.

Purpose: Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) are self-renewing, pluripotent cells that are valuable research tools and hold promise for use in regenerative medicine. The need for new hESC lines motivated our attempts to find a new resource for the derivation of hESC lines. The aim of this work was to establish more hESC lines from abnormal fertilized zygotes and to meet the emerging requirements for their use in cell replacement therapies, disease modeling, and basic research.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess how sperm acrosin activity affects outcomes in IVF-ET, analyzing data from 909 infertile men.
  • Results showed that men with abnormal acrosin activity had significantly lower sperm quality and motility, and while fertilization rates were higher in the normal acrosin group, other parameters like egg retrieval and embryo quality were similar across groups.
  • The conclusion suggests that evaluating sperm acrosin activity can be an important predictor for both fertilization ability and the success of IVF-ET treatments.
