Investigate the association of positivity with generalized anxiety and the mediating roles of resilience and sense of belonging in underrepresented college students. College students ( = 425; 18.4% White, 17.9% Black, 40.2% Hispanic, 20.2% Asian; 38.1% first-generation; = 19.06; 63.1% female) completed an online survey assessing positivity, anxiety, resilience, and belonging. Path analysis tested the proposed mediation model, controlling for age, sex, race/ethnicity, first-generation status, living status, and diagnosed disability. Positivity was negatively associated with anxiety directly ( = -.468, < .001) and indirectly through resilience ( = -.083, < .001), but not through belonging ( = -.026, > .05). Positivity was associated with belonging ( = .611, < .001); belonging was not associated with anxiety ( = -.042, > .05). Findings highlight the benefit of positivity on anxiety and the mediating role of resilience among underrepresented college students.

Background: Kidney tumors, common in the urinary system, have widely varying survival rates post-surgery. Current prognostic methods rely on invasive biopsies, highlighting the need for non-invasive, accurate prediction models to assist in clinical decision-making.
Purpose: This study aimed to construct a K-means clustering algorithm enhanced by Transformer-based feature transformation to predict the overall survival rate of patients after kidney tumor resection and provide an interpretability analysis of the model to assist in clinical decision-making.

To address the challenges of high computational complexity and poor real-time performance in binocular vision-based Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) formation flight, this paper introduces a UAV localization algorithm based on a lightweight object detection model. Firstly, we optimized the YOLOv5s model using lightweight design principles, resulting in Yolo-SGN. This model achieves a 65.

The impact of the Supreme Court of the United States ruling against race-conscious admissions extends beyond college admissions to professional schools. Based partially on the idea that enough time had elapsed for achievement of the stated goals of affirmative action, the court ruled race-conscious admissions are unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The ruling left a crack in the door to higher education, however, allowing students to write an essay showing how race or ethnicity affected their lives.

BMJ Open

College of Medical Veterinary and Life Sciences, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK
Objectives: This study assessed knowledge of physical activity (PA) guidelines and confidence to deliver PA advice, across current final-year medical students in Scotland. This follows a 2013 survey finding that this cohort lacked this knowledge and confidence; thus, authors recommended improvements to undergraduate medical PA education and re-evaluation of these measures thereafter.
Design: A cross-sectional online survey.
