An Exploratory Analysis of a Subjective Well-Being Model for Chinese University Students

College students experience great stress due to many factors, such as an uncertain future, academic responsibilities, and pressures imposed by social communication. Many institutions of higher education are focusing on how to mediate stressful situations and increase the subjective well-being (SWB) of students to sustain a lifestyle focused on wellness. The online survey used for this study focused on testing an exploratory SWB model by implementing partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques. The participants were 470 college-aged students enrolled in seven different institutions in six cities across China. Findings yielded a good model fit (the Standardized Root Mean Squared Residual [SRMR] = .054) with the validity of manifest variables, reliability of the latent variables (LVs), and overall SWB model indicating moderate predictiveness (GoF R2 = .476) by the LVs. Additionally, all of the direct path coefficients and indirect path coefficients that consisted of four partial mediators and one full mediator yielded statistically significant results via bootstrapping. Furthermore, path coefficients for utilization of emotion to life satisfaction for the cognitive exercise group were significantly higher than for the non-cognitive exercise group. The findings illustrated a good model fit for an exploratory SWB model that can predict an individual’s SWB, and cognitive and non-cognitive exercises had different effects on the individuals’ SWB.

教授和企业家:一个技术转让的事例研究

1 丹特克(Dantec)事例研究在1982年,我那时是化学工程教授,正集中精力在教三年级的化学变化过程控制。突然,一声轻轻的敲门声惊动了教室的人。那就是杰拉德·杜布里克,丹特克电子公司董事长。他听说我知道一点化学过程控制,便想找我谈一谈粮食干控技术。     

培养一年級学生友爱和同志情誼

培养生学中间友爱和同志情谊,表现出互助合作、互相关心和富有同情心,是苏联学校的一个重要任务。从一年级开始,在他们最重要的活动——学习工作和日常关系中,就应当发展儿童的同志情谊。教师在这个重要工作中起着主要的作用。在这篇文章中,我们将着重指明教师对培养一年级学生中间同志关系的领导作用。我们曾用系统观察薩拉托夫城学校教师工作经验的方法,也用同他们一起工作的方法,研究了这个问题。     

The effects of community violence on children in Cape Town, South Africa

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between exposure to community violence (neighborhood, school, police, and gang violence) and psychological distress in a sample of children living in the Cape Town, South Africa area. Another objective was to identify variables that moderate and mediate the relationship between exposure to community violence and psychological distress. METHODS: Face-to-face interviews were conducted with 185 children between the age of 8 and 13 from five Cape Town Township schools. Structured scales were used to measure exposure to several forms of community violence, family functioning, social support, perceptions of safety, and "unknown" locus of control. RESULTS: Exposure to all forms of violence was extremely high and resulted in substantial psychological distress. Perceived safety functioned as a mediating variable for all forms of violence. Unknown locus of control, social support, family organization, and family control moderated the effects of exposure to certain kinds of violence. Surprisingly, exposure to murder was not related to psychological distress, suggesting a possible "numbing" effect of extreme forms of violence. Hearing about violence from others had almost the same effect as actually witnessing it. Older children had witnessed more violence and were experiencing more distress, suggesting an "exposure accumulation" effect. CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest the importance of a child's ability to feel safe in reducing the distress that occurs as a result to exposure to violence. Parents and schools can help children cope, but there appear to be limits. Early intervention, before maladaptive coping mechanisms have developed, also appears to be important.

Social integration of deaf children in inclusive settings

This article examines social integration of deaf children in inclusive settings in The Netherlands. Eighteen Grade 1-5 deaf children and their 344 hearing classmates completed 2 sociometric tasks, peer ratings and peer nomination, to measure peer acceptance, social competence, and friendship relations. Deaf and hearing children were found to be similar in their peer acceptance and friendship relations, but differences occurred in social competence. Deaf children scored lower than hearing children on prosocial behavior and higher on socially withdrawn behavior. Structural equation modeling showed peer acceptance, social competence, and friendship relations to be stable over time, and the structure of interrelations between variables at 2 measurements were found to be the same for deaf and hearing participants.

Studying creation of bulk elementary excitation by heaters in superfluid helium-Ⅱ at low temperatures

In this paper, the obtained experimental results concerning creation of bulk elementary excitations （BEEs） in isotopically pure liquid ^4He at low temperatures -60 mK are discussed. Positive rotons＇ （R^＋-rotons） creation by a pulsed heater was studied. Signals were recorded for the following quantum processes： quantum evaporation of ^4He-atoms from the free liquid-helium surface by the BEEs of the liquid helium-Ⅱ, and BEEs reflection from the free surface back into the bulk liquid. Typical signals are shown, and ratios of signal amplitudes are evaluated. For long heater pulses from 5 to 10 μs, appearance of the second atomic cloud consisting of evaporated ^4He-atoms was observed in addition to the first atomic cloud. It is thought that the first atomic cloud of the evaporated helium atoms consists of very fast ^4He-atoms with energies ～35 K evaporated by positive rotons with the special energies ～17 K （～2ER～2×8.6 K with ER representing the roton minimum energy） corresponding to the third non-dispersive Zakharenko wave. The second cloud of slower ^4He-atoms was created by surface elementary excitations （SEEs or ripplons） possessing the special energies ～7.15 K representing the binding energy. It was assumed that such SEEs can be created by phonons incoming to the liquid surface with special energies ～6.2 K corresponding to the first non-dispersive Zakharenko wave which can interact at the liquid surface with the same phonons already reflected from the surface for long heater pulses. Also, some pulsed-heater characteristics were studied in order to better understand the features of such heaters in low temperature experiments.     

校长向我道歉

不知为什么，我在学校完全是另一个样子，老是捣蛋。以前我很笨。但从不做坏事。现在呢，我是个留级生，不但很笨，还是个流氓。我们班主任安娜就是这样说我的。以前别人骂我时问：“你不害臊吗？”我埋下头说：“害臊……”可现在我会嬉皮笑脸地回答：“不。”我知道为人应该态度友善，但是在学校只要求无条件地听话……班主任安娜走进教室，满脸不高兴的样子。我们站起来，身体挺得笔直。“坐下。”安娜命令，“现在你们写作文。”“今天的作文我不打分，因为这是《少先队真理报》的征文，题目是‘如果我是一位教师。’”“天哪，要是出错…
