Background: Social networks are an important factor affecting Chinese residents' subjective well-being (SWB). Dividing social networks from the functional perspective can elucidate the SWB effect more effectively. This paper aims to explore how different social network supports affect SWB, further analyze the mechanism of individual resilience between them, and observe its changing trend throughout life.

Methods: Based on the 2016 China Labor Dynamics Survey data (CLDS), this paper constructs an indicator system of individual resilience and, from the functional perspective, divides social networks into instrumental and emotional functions (SNI and SNE). According to age and the sequence of major life events, classify age groups as the operational variables of life course. The mediating effect and moderated mediating effect are the main models.

Results: First, different types of social support in social networks are significant predictors of SWB. Among them, SNI has a greater effect on SWB than SNE and remains stable throughout life. Second, individual resilience is vital to SWB, and its effect does not vary throughout life. Third, individual resilience mediates between social networks and SWB, and its mediating effect increases over life.

Conclusions: The theoretical implications of developing social network measurement from a functional perspective and policy implications of focusing on the social support function of social networks and preventing it from disrupting social resource allocation rules are proposed.

This study investigates the multifaceted factors influencing adjustment to prostate cancer among older men in Esfahan, Iran, using the social ecological model (SEM) as a guiding framework. We employed a qualitative approach, conducting semistructured interviews with 19 men diagnosed with prostate cancer, aged 63 to 92 years (mean age = 71), and six key informants, including spouses and health care professionals. We thematically analyzed the data to identify challenges and facilitators in the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and environmental domains of the SEM.

This study proposes a novel framework using graph convolutional networks to analyze and interpret X-ray diffraction patterns, addressing challenges in phase identification for multi-phase materials. By representing X-ray diffraction patterns as graphs, the framework captures both local and global relationships between diffraction peaks, enabling accurate phase identification even in the presence of overlapping peaks and noisy data. The framework outperforms traditional machine learning models, achieving a precision of 0.

Background/objectives: Pediatric cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder that affects motor skills, posture, and muscle coordination, impacting children's daily functioning and quality of life. Treatment approaches in occupational therapy aim to enhance motor function and functional independence through a variety of rehabilitative techniques. Recently, new technologies-such as virtual reality, robotics, and assistive devices-have emerged as promising tools in occupational therapy to complement traditional interventions and potentially enhance motor and sensory outcomes in children with CP.

Single-Cell Transcriptional Profiling Reveals Cell Type-Specific Sex-Dependent Molecular Patterns of Schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a debilitating psychiatric disorder marked by alterations in cognition and social behavior, resulting in profound impacts on individuals and society. Although sex-dependent disparities in the epidemiology of SCZ are well established, the biological molecular basis of these disparities remains poorly understood. Investigating cell type-specific transcriptomic profiles is critical for identifying regulatory components underlying sex-dependent molecular dysregulation in SCZ, which could serve as targets for sex-specific therapeutic interventions.

The (TGACG motif-binding factor) transcription factors are integral to root growth and development, and are pivotal in mediating plant responses to abiotic stresses. Nonetheless, their role in the nutrient absorption processes of banana plants has not been extensively investigated. This research conducted a comprehensive analysis of the gene family, emphasizing their physicochemical characteristics, phylogenetic relationships, gene duplication events, promoter cis-regulatory elements and protein interaction networks.
