Determinants of the digital outcome divide in E-learning between rural and urban students: Empirical evidence from the COVID-19 pandemic based on capital theory.

Digital outcome divide, the inequality of the outcomes of exploiting and benefitting from the ICT access and usage, has been raised as a severe concern of the e-learning practices during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study drew on capital theory and related literature and conducted a survey of 492 Chinese middle school students to explore: (1) whether a digital outcome divide exists between rural and urban students under the e-learning condition during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) if it does, how does students' every form of capital impact the digital outcome divide. Our results revealed several important findings.

Gender differences in future time perspectives and risk of being not in employment, education, or training: the mediating role of achievement goal motivations.

This study aimed to investigate the relationships between future time perspectives (FTP) and risk of being not in employment, education, or training (NEET) with the mediating role of achievement goal motivations among undergraduate students in Vietnam. It revealed that FTP was negatively related to NEET risk, indicating students who focused on their future seemed more likely to decrease the risk of being NEET. Among achievement goals, mastery-approach orientation and performance-avoidance orientation played mediating roles in the FTP and NEET risk relationship.

You Only Live Once! Understanding Indonesian and Taiwan Travel Intention During COVID-19 Pandemic.

Indonesia and Taiwan are two countries that have been affected by the tourism sector, although with different policies to control the COVID-19 pandemic. Taiwan is known as a country with pandemic policies that have been recognized around the world, although it has a high vulnerability to experiencing a high number of infections due to its geographical and political position close to the source of the pandemic. On the other hand, Indonesia is known for its controversial pandemic management and control policies.

[Psychological and behavioral functioning of children and adolescents during long-term home-schooling].

To study the characteristics and risk factors of psychological and behavioral problems of children and adolescents of different ages and genders in long-term home-schooling during the coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic. Further, to provide scientific basis for more targeted psychological intervention and coping strategies in the future. A cross-sectional survey using an online questionnaire was conducted on students aged 6-16 years old in five representative cities of North (Beijing), East (Shanghai), West (Chongqing), South (Guangzhou) and Middle (Wuhan) in China.

Risk factors and prediction nomogram model for psychosocial and behavioural problems among children and adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic: A national multicentre study: Risk Factors of Childhood Psychosocial Problems.

Background: We aimed to explore the risk profiles attributable to psychosocial and behavioural problems during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. To this end, we created a risk-prediction nomogram model.

Methods: A national multicentre study was conducted through an online questionnaire involving 12,186 children (6-11 years old) and adolescents (12-16 years old).

Psychosocial and behavioral problems of children and adolescents in the early stage of reopening schools after the COVID-19 pandemic: a national cross-sectional study in China.

This study aims to explore the psychosocial and behavioral problems of children and adolescents in the early stage of reopening schools. In this national cross-sectional study, a total of 11072 students from China were naturally divided into two groups based on their schooling status: reopened schools (RS) and home schooling (HS) group. The psychosocial and behavioral functioning were measured by Achenbach Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) and compared in these two groups.

Concurrent brain parcellation and connectivity estimation via co-clustering of resting state fMRI data: A novel approach.

Connectional topography mapping has been gaining widespread attention in human brain imaging studies. However, existing methods might not effectively utilize the information from neuroimaging data, thus hindering the understanding of the underlying connectional organization in the brain and uncovering the optimal clustering number from the data. In this study, we propose a novel method for the automated construction of inherent functional connectivity topography in a data-driven manner by leveraging the power of co-clustering-based on resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) data.

Functional parcellation of the hippocampus by semi-supervised clustering of resting state fMRI data.

Many unsupervised methods are widely used for parcellating the brain. However, unsupervised methods aren't able to integrate prior information, obtained from such as exiting functional neuroanatomy studies, to parcellate the brain, whereas the prior information guided semi-supervised method can generate more reliable brain parcellation. In this study, we propose a novel semi-supervised clustering method for parcellating the brain into spatially and functionally consistent parcels based on resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data.

Alterations in Amygdala Connectivity in Internet Addiction Disorder.

Recent studies have revealed structural and functional abnormalities in amygdala due to Internet addiction (IA) associated with emotional disturbance. However, the role of amygdala connectivity that is responsible for emotion-cognition interactions is largely unknown in IA. This study aims to explore the amygdala connectivity abnormalities in IA.

Effect of polysaccharides on the blood system in rats.

Natural plant polysaccharides stimulated hemopoiesis, increased the content of some macroglobulins in blood plasma, modulate the weight and cellular composition of lymphoid and hemopoietic organs, activated lymphopoiesis, and enhanced enzyme activity in healthy animals.
