The current study aimed to validate the parent-version of the Spence Children's Anxiety Scale (SCAS-P) among Chinese and Italian community adolescents and to compare adolescents' anxiety symptoms in these two countries. Chinese (N = 456) and Italian (N = 452) adolescents and their parents participated in the study. Results showed that: (1) the six correlated-factor structure was demonstrated and invariant across countries. (2) The reliability of the total scale was good in both samples, whereas reliabilities of subscales were acceptable and moderate in Chinese and Italian samples, respectively. (3) The SCAS-P showed good convergent and divergent validity. (4) Adolescent-parent agreement was from low to medium while mother-father agreement ranged from medium to high. (5) There were cultural and gender differences in levels of parent-report anxiety symptoms. In conclusion, SCAS-P seems to be a promising parent-report instrument to assess Chinese and Italian adolescents' anxiety symptoms.

Background High-quality translations of radiology reports are essential for optimal patient care. Because of limited availability of human translators with medical expertise, large language models (LLMs) are a promising solution, but their ability to translate radiology reports remains largely unexplored. Purpose To evaluate the accuracy and quality of various LLMs in translating radiology reports across high-resource languages (English, Italian, French, German, and Chinese) and low-resource languages (Swedish, Turkish, Russian, Greek, and Thai).

A search is reported for charge-parity violation in decays, using data collected in proton-proton collisions at recorded by the CMS experiment in 2018. The analysis uses a dedicated data set that corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 41.6 , which consists of about 10 billion events containing a pair of b hadrons, nearly all of which decay to charm hadrons.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers sequenced 470 genomes of domesticated river and swamp buffaloes and their wild ancestors to investigate the genetic factors influencing domestication and productivity in Asian water buffaloes.* -
- Wild swamp buffaloes maintain ancestral morphology, while river buffaloes show distinct traits, yet both have genomes that align closely with wild counterparts; genetic diversity varies significantly across regions.* -
- Key findings indicate that artificial selection has led to significant genetic adaptations in traits like reproduction, milk production, and coat color, highlighting how domestication affects evolutionary changes in these animals.*

Article Synopsis
- Baduanjin is a traditional Chinese exercise beneficial for health and chronic disease prevention, but research has mostly focused on its general benefits rather than its specific exercise intensity.
- This study compares the exercise intensity between beginners and long-term practitioners by measuring various physiological indicators during Baduanjin practice.
- Results show that long-term practitioners have better cardiovascular recovery and lower resting heart rates, indicating improved exercise performance compared to beginners.
Metaphors and the Invention of Writing.

The foundation of ancient, invented writing systems lies in the predominant iconicity of their sign shapes. However, these shapes are often used not for their referential meaning but in a metaphorical way, whereby one entity stands for another. Metaphor, including its subcategories pars pro toto and metonymy, plays a crucial role in the formation of the earliest pristine invented scripts, yet this mechanism has been understudied from a cognitive, contextual, and comparative perspective.
