Objective: The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted many people's life. Negative impacts of pandemic measures and economic hardship on psychological well-being are common among the global populations. In Hong Kong, the pandemic not only affects the local populations, but also the migrant Filipina domestic helpers (FDH). Despite the distress, evidence suggests that people still experience positive changes (aka adversarial growth) amid the COVID-19 pandemic. We expect the same applies to FDH in Hong Kong. Studies have shown that coping resources (e.g., resilience, social support, literacy of trauma-related information), cognitive appraisal, and coping strategies are associated with adversarial growth among individuals living with highly stressful events. Relevant studies for migrant populations in the COVID-19 context are limited. This study examined the psychosocial correlates of adversarial growth among FDH in Hong Kong.
Method: By convenient sampling, FDH (N = 266) recruited from public gathering venues were asked to complete a cross-sectional survey. Their COVID-19-related distress, work-related stress, COVID-19 information literacy, emotional and material support, resilience, cognitive appraisals (harm, threat, challenge), and coping strategies (religious coping, positive reframing, acceptance) were measured.
Results: Controlled for covariates, hierarchical regression results showed that higher levels of resilience (β = .21), emotional support (β = .16), COVID-19-related information literacy (β = .15), and religious coping (β = .16) were associated with higher adversarial growth (s < .05).
Conclusions: FDH in Hong Kong reported positive changes amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on our findings, facilitating those FDH's resilience, emotional support, COVID-19 information literacy, and religious coping might be important strategies to enhance their adversarial growth.

Aiming at the difficulty of extracting vibration data under actual working conditions of rolling bearings, this paper proposes a bearing reliability evaluation method based on generative adversarial network sample enhancement and maximum entropy method under the condition of few samples. Based on generative adversarial network, data sample enhancement under few samples is carried out, and the reliability analysis model is established by using the maximum entropy principle and Poisson process. The reliability is evaluated according to the reliability variation frequency, variation speed and variation acceleration.

Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the development of a new method, EfficientNet-Deep batch normalized eLUAlexnet (EfficientNet-DbneAlexnet), for detecting brain tumors in MRI images, addressing the challenge of varied tumor shapes and sizes.
- The process involves image enhancement using Piecewise Linear Transformation, skull stripping with Fuzzy Local Information C Means, and tumor segmentation via a Projective Adversarial Network.
- The results show that this new approach achieves impressive performance metrics: 90.36% sensitivity, 92.77% accuracy, and 91.82% specificity in detecting brain tumors.

Significance: The early detection and accurate monitoring of suspicious skin lesions are critical for effective dermatological diagnosis and treatment, particularly for reliable identification of the progression of nevi to melanoma. The traditional diagnostic framework, the ABCDE rule, provides a foundation for evaluating lesion characteristics by visual examination using dermoscopes. Simulations of skin lesion progression could improve the understanding of melanoma growth patterns.
