An important theme in the development of self-psychology is the attempt by scholars to construct a self-model with universal cultural adaptability. Among them, representatives are the tripartite model of self-built by Triandis, the theory of the independent self and interdependent self-proposed by Markus and Kitayama, Yang Kuo-Shu's four-part theory of the Chinese self, Hwang Kwang-Kwo's Mandala model of self, and Shiah Yung-Jong's Non-self-Theory. However, these models have a difficult time explaining the structure and development of the Chinese self in Chinese cultural background. After pondering over Chinese traditional culture and the Chinese self, inspired by the archetype of Taiji diagram, in this paper, we construct the Taiji Model of Self. The Taiji Model of Self can not only properly represent the Chinese self-structure, but also explain the growth course of the Chinese self and four kinds of life realms of Chinese people with satisfactory cultural and ecological validity.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of a combined strength training and tai chi exercise program on reducing sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle loss in older adults, with a focus on whether this hybrid approach is more effective than traditional strength training alone.
- - Ninety-three older adults participated in a 24-week randomized controlled trial, divided into three groups: a hybrid exercise group, a strength training group, and a control group, with muscle mass evaluated via abdominal CT scans.
- - Results showed significant improvements in muscle density, grip strength, and muscle mass for participants in both exercise groups, with the hybrid group demonstrating especially beneficial outcomes, indicating the potential effectiveness of combining these two exercise modalities to combat sarcopenia.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic respiratory disease (CRD) rates are increasing in Asia, and pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has proven effective in treating this condition; however, cultural and environmental factors may affect how PR programs are implemented in Asia.
- A comprehensive review analyzed 137 studies across various databases to assess the characteristics of CRD rehabilitation programs in Asia compared to the 2023 American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines, revealing significant variation in approaches.
- While most programs included aerobic exercises, only about 22% adhered closely to the ATS guidelines, highlighting a need for a balance between local adaptations of PR and maintaining the core principles of effective rehabilitation programs.
Application of machine learning in developing a quantitative structure-property relationship model for predicting the thermal decomposition temperature of nitrogen-rich energetic ionic salts.

While thermal decomposition temperature ( ) is one of the most important indexes for energetic materials, the most common way of determining and evaluating requires laboratory experiments that are complicated, time-consuming and expensive. In the present study, the quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) model of for 21 nitrogen-rich energetic ionic salts was built and used for prediction through 13 descriptors and principal component analysis. The relatively small dataset of 21 samples may lead to overfitting.

Background: Previous research has indicated that tai chi exercise can effectively enhance balance performance in patients; however, its impact on healthy individuals remains uncertain. Therefore, this meta-analysis aims to investigate the effects of different intensities and styles of tai chi exercise on the balance performance of healthy older adult individuals.
Methods: A targeted search method was employed to identify studies investigating the impact of tai chi exercise on balance in older adults across a range of databases, including Web of Science, PubMed, Cochrane Central, EBSCO, CHKI, and Embase.
