The psychology of hope is used to conceptualize how college students successfully meet their personal and professional goals and ultimately persist to graduation. However, limited evidence has suggested that high levels of hope might have a paradoxical effect for Black college students when faced with experiences of discrimination. The present study examined the moderation effects of hope on the associations between experiences of discrimination and perceptions of stress and academic integration among a sample of 1st-year U.S. Black college students ( = 203) partly derived from secondary data. Structural equation modeling revealed inverse associations between hope and stress, as well as positive associations between hope and academic integration. However, latent variable moderation revealed that students with high levels of hope had the strongest positive associations between discrimination and stress, thus supporting a paradoxical effect. By contrast, the negative association between discrimination and academic integration emerged for only students with low levels of hope. Results suggest the psychological and academic benefits of hope are complex. Specifically, in the context of discrimination experiences, hope may have a paradoxical effect for Black students' mental health while still retaining a positive and buffering effect for their academic integration.

The current study aims to determine how the interactions between practice (distributed/focused) and mental capacity (high/low) in the cloud-computing environment (CCE) affect the development of reproductive health skills and cognitive absorption. The study employed an experimental design, and it included a categorical variable for mental capacity (low/high) and an independent variable with two types of activities (distributed/focused). The research sample consisted of 240 students from the College of Science and College of Applied Medical Sciences at the University of Hail's.

Transformer is a powerful model widely used in artificial intelligence applications. It contains complex structures and has extremely high computational requirements that are not suitable for embedded intelligent sensors with limited computational resources. The binary quantization technology takes up less memory space and has a faster calculation speed; however, it is seldom studied for the lightweight transformer.

Rolling bearings play a crucial role in industrial equipment, and their failure is highly likely to cause a series of serious consequences. Traditional deep learning-based bearing fault diagnosis algorithms rely on large amounts of training data; training and inference processes consume significant computational resources. Thus, developing a lightweight and suitable fault diagnosis algorithm for small samples is particularly crucial.

The application of dynamic data in biomechanics is crucial; traditional laboratory-level force measurement systems are precise, but they are costly and limited to fixed environments. To address these limitations, empirical evidence supports the widespread adoption of portable force-measuring platforms, with recommendations for their ongoing development and enhancement. Taiyuan University of Technology has collaborated with KunWei Sports Technology Co.
