Social media usage is an essential part of modern life, and benefits individuals in many aspects, such as increasing well-being and psychological capital and decreasing depression. However, the cost of using such media is unavoidable. Among the undesirable outcomes, social media burnout has received particular attention, which has led to the identification of three facets: ambivalence, exhaustion, and depersonalization, as assessed by the Social Media Burnout Scale (SMBS), which was originally designed to assess Facebook. However, whether this scale could be adapted to other platforms and cultures remains unknown. The present study aimed at adapting the SMBS to a Chinese sample consisting of 1042 university students using both exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The EFA provided evidence that the three factor model showed the best fit: CFI = 0.954, TLI = 0.947, RMSEA = 0.076, SRMR = 0.021. Furthermore, the CFA confirmed that the three factor model with modifications fit the data well: CFI = 0.976, TLI = 0.965, RMSEA = 0.067, SRMR = 0.043. Moreover, two statistically significant correlations were observed for the burnout score; a positive correlation with social media addiction and a negative correlation with core self-evaluation. The study showed that the Chinese version of the SMBS could be used as an effective tool to assess social media burnout among college students in China., Author(s): Jianling Ma [sup.1] , Chang Liu [sup.2] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.411587.e, 0000 0001 0381 4112, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, , Chongwen Road, Nan' an District, 400065, Chongqing, [...]

Nomophobia refers to the fear of being out of mobile phone contact or being unreachable through one's mobile phone. As this is a newly researched phenomenon, a great deal of effort is needed to understand the underlying structure of nomophobia and how it develops. The current study aimed to take the first step in evaluating the factor structure of a Chinese version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q). The participants consisted of 966 college students sampled using a combination of convenience and random methods. The NMP-Q was translated into Chinese, and exploratory factor analysis was carried out using a principal component method with Varimax rotation; subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis was performed. The findings showed that a four-factor model consisting of 20 items constituted the best fit for the data collected from our sample. These findings provide support for the robustness of the structure of the NMP-Q through cross-cultural validation. The Chinese version of the NMP-Q seems to be appropriate as an effective questionnaire to assess nomophobic behavior among college students., Author(s): Jianling Ma [sup.1] , Chang Liu [sup.2] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.411587.e, 0000 0001 0381 4112, Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, , Chongwen Road, Nan' an District, 400065, Chongqing, [...]

Although prior research has found that receipt of social support through social networking sites is a significant predictor of Facebook addiction, the mechanism underlying this association remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the mediating roles of fear of missing out and problematic smartphone use in the relationship between these two variables in a Chinese context. Four hundred and sixty-five undergraduates participated in this study by completing measures of support received through online social networking sites, fear of missing out, problematic smartphone use, and addiction to Chinese social media. The results showed that fear of missing out and problematic smartphone use mediated the relationship between support through online social networking sites and addiction to such sites, both in series and in parallel. This might be among the first studies to elucidate the mechanism underlying the development of social media addiction from the perspective of online support. Although the cross-sectional design employed has several limitations, these findings offer a potential avenue of research in the development of strategies for the prevention of addiction to social networking sites and interventions for treating this affliction., Author(s): Chang Liu [sup.1], Jianling Ma [sup.2] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.449845.0, 0000 0004 1757 5011, Yangtze Normal University, , JuXian Road, FuLing District, 408100, Chongqing, China (2) grid.411587.e, 0000 0001 [...]

Although prior studies have to some extent clarified the mechanism underlying the development of social media burnout, the present study contributes to the literature by showing how social media addiction contributes to this phenomenon. Chinese university students (N = 519) completed self-report questionnaires on social media addiction, social media burnout, envy, and social media use anxiety. The results showed that addiction, envy, and social media use anxiety were all significant predictors of burnout. Moreover, envy and social media use anxiety mediated the relationship between social media addiction and burnout, both in parallel and as a pair in series. Considering the negative effect of social media burnout such as depression, the findings may provide new path to understand the detrimental of excessive use of social media toward corresponding psychological outcomes., Author(s): Chang Liu [sup.1], Jianling Ma [sup.2] Author Affiliations: (1) grid.449845.0, 0000 0004 1757 5011, Yangtze Normal University, , JuXian Road, FuLing District, 408100, Chongqing, China (2) grid.411587.e, 0000 0001 [...]

Chronic cough is a common chronic respiratory disease in which cough is the only or main symptom. This cough typically lasts for more than eight weeks without significant abnormalities on the X-ray image. However, some chronic coughs may be diagnosed as chronic refractory cough (CRC) in two conditions; cough without definite causes after thorough examinations; symptoms without improving after conventional treatment. With the rapid advancement of science and society, CRC has received increased attention from clinicians, presenting the respiratory system research community with new challenges and opportunities. CRC has no specific name in the Chinese medicine system, but it can be named "Wan Ke" based on its "long duration". In the history of Chinese medicine, the treatment of "Wan Ke" has been scattered throughout the clinical theory and practice of Chinese medicine, but a systematic theory is still lacking. In this article, we use "multidimensionality" as an entry point to understand the pathogenesis of CRC in terms of its cause, nature, location, and syndrome, and to summarize the ideas of its syndrome differentiation and treatment variation. We believe that CRC is a disease of mixed deficiency and reality, with a mixture of cold and heat. The disease is located in the lungs, and its pathogenesis is closely related to the internal organs, with "lung and spleen related" being significant. The wind-evil hidden lung is the basic and central pathogenesis of CRC. In terms of treatment, the primary approach is Qufeng Xuanfei, combined with the identification of the symptoms and focusing on the lung and spleen. This is combined with syndrome differentiation to clear heat and dampness, invigorate the spleen, warm the lungs, dissolve drinks, and remove dampness and phlegm. In addition, we should also pay attention to the treatment of sparing the liver and regulating wood by changing the medication and dosage as the syndrome changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coupling appropriate semiconductor nanoparticles with massive surface-area support has become a promising but challenging strategy to photocatalyst design for enhanced photocatalytic activity in environmental cleaning applications, owing to the severe aggregation issues of nanoparticles. Herein, the atomic layer deposition (ALD) approach was applied to uniformly disperse ultrafine Cu 2 O nanoparticles (5–10 nm) on metal-organic frameworks without aggregation, forming NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/Cu 2 O nanocomposite photocatalysts. The Cu 2 O mass within the nanocomposites can be well controlled by merely adjusting the ALD cycles. The optimal NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/Cu 2 O displays a high photodegradation efficiency of 92% for RhB and excellent stability under visible light. The reaction kinetics and photocurrent response experimental results reveal that the optimal NH 2 -MIL-101(Fe)/Cu 2 O photocatalyst exhibits effective charge separation/transfer and suppressed recombination rate of charge carriers, which will significantly increase the solar light utilization efficiency and photocatalytic activity. We believe the presented photocatalyst synthesis strategy here can be generalized to construct other photocatalysts for various photocatalytic applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
