In contrast, Vietnam is a multi-religious Southeast Asian country with a large number of believers, but there is almost no research addressing the impact of religiosity among Vietnamese believers on mental health concerns such as depression, happiness, and gratitude.Participants and Methods: Our cross-sectional study was focused on Vietnamese believers (N = 374), surveyed directly at different religious facilities in Vietnam. The present study was evaluated utilizing the partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) methodology.Results: The primary findings of the study indicate that (i) age was found to positively moderate the association between intrinsic religiosity and gratitude (β = 0.191, 95% CI [0.116, 0.277], p < 0.001); (ii) Intrinsic religiosity has a positive influence on depression-happiness scale (β = 0.276, 95% CI [0.168, 0.373], p < 0.001) and gratitude (β = 0.337, 95% CI [0.205, 0.466], p < 0.001); Moreover, (iii) gratitude has a positive influence on depression-happiness scale (β = 0.381, 95% CI [0.280, 0.491], p < 0.001); Finally, (iv) the study revealed that gratitude mediates the relationship between intrinsic religiosity and depression-happiness scale (β = 0.128, 95% CI [0.071, 0.197], p < 0.001).Discussion: The findings of this study suggest that gratitude could potentially play a significant role in comprehending the association between religiosity and the levels of depression and happiness experienced by religious individuals in Vietnam.Keywords: religiosity, intrinsic religiosity, depression, happiness, gratitude, Vietnam

Magnetic resonance is a prime method for the study of chemical and biological structures and their dynamical processes. The interpretation of many of these experiments relies on understanding how the spin of unpaired electrons exchanges energy with their environment, or lattice, and relaxes to equilibrium. Here, we overcome the common use of effective spin Hamiltonians to describe spin-lattice relaxation in spin-1/2 and apply ab initio open quantum systems theory to their full molecular electronic wavefunction. Simulations for two Cr(V) coordination compounds under this framework show a marked improvement in accuracy and demonstrate that relaxation in spin-1/2 molecules is enabled by virtual transitions to molecular excited states with energy approaching 20,000 cm -1 . This work establishes a connection between the original theory of Van Vleck and modern electronic structure methods, ultimately exemplifying the urgency of further advancing an ab initio approach to spin-lattice relaxation.

This study focuses on filial piety, a fundamental psychological factor in Vietnam and its relationship with religiosity and attitudes toward abortion. Drawing on data from 656 participants, the research employed the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method and identified significant differences in intrinsic religiosity (IR) based on various forms of cohabitation with parents. Furthermore, the findings revealed a positive association between age and religiosity. Higher levels of IR were linked to more conservative attitudes toward abortion (AAS), whereas greater premarital sexual permissiveness (PSP) was associated with more pro-choice views. Filial piety played a mediating role in the relationship between IR and AAS. These insights offer a deeper understanding of how religiosity and filial piety influence abortion attitudes among individuals in Vietnam., Competing Interests: Declarations. Ethics approval and consent to participate: The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the Department of Science and Technology—Ho Chi Minh City University of Education. Additionally, the present study followed the ethical guidelines outlined in the Declaration of Helsinki [105] and adhered to the principles set forth by the American Psychological Association [106] regarding research involving human participants. These ethical guidelines were strictly followed to ensure that the research was conducted in accordance with established ethical standards, prioritizing the well-being, rights, and privacy of the individuals involved. All participants in this study agreed to participate after being provided with informed consent, which included clear explanations of the study’s purpose, potential risks, and benefits. The informed consent statement also outlined the research objectives, the terms of anonymity and confidentiality, the responsibilities of the participants, and their right to withdraw from the study. In our study, eight young people aged 17 provided their consent to participate in the research, and no legal or ethical principle requires the provision of parental consent on their behalf [63]. Furthermore, these participants have attained the Vietnam-determined age to consent to study-related procedures, and their participation in this study does not pose more than a minor increase in minimal risk of harm [64–66].

Magnetic anisotropy slows down magnetic relaxation and plays a prominent role in the design of permanent magnets. Coordination compounds of Co(II) in particular exhibit large magnetic anisotropy in the presence of low-coordination environments and have been used as single-molecule magnet prototypes. However, only a limited sampling of cobalt's vast chemical space has been performed, potentially obscuring alternative chemical routes toward large magnetic anisotropy. Here we perform a computational high-throughput exploration of Co(II)'s chemical space in search of new single-molecule magnets. We automatically assemble a diverse set of ∼15,000 novel complexes of Co(II) and fully characterize them with multireference ab initio methods. More than 100 compounds exhibit magnetic anisotropy comparable to or larger than leading known compounds. The analysis of these results shows that compounds with record-breaking magnetic anisotropy can also be achieved with coordination four or higher, going beyond the established paradigm of two-coordinated linear complexes.

Background: Transthoracic biopsy has proven to be an effective procedure, especially for peripheral lung lesions, in obtaining samples that can definitively diagnose the underlying pathology. Despite its effectiveness, studies have demonstrated that it is associated with complications such as pneumothorax and hemoptysis. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of these complications and identify prognostic factors in patients who underwent a transthoracic biopsy., Methods: This retrospective cohort analysis included adults from Thu Duc City Hospital, a sub-urban hospital who underwent transthoracic biopsy from 2017 to 2022. Complications that were evaluated included pneumothorax and hemoptysis. Separate logistic regression models estimated the association of pneumothorax or hemoptysis and selected baseline patient demographic and clinical characteristics., Results: Among 221 patients who underwent transthoracic biopsy, 27.6% experienced pneumothorax complications, 19.9% had hemoptysis, and 5.4% had both. No air embolism was recorded. Most of the complications were mild and limited with medical management. Among patients who experienced pneumothorax, 6.6% (4/61) required chest tube drainage. Biopsy in tumors with a distance from chest wall to tumor edge of more than 20 mm and skin to tumor edge of more than 40 mm was associated with a higher risk of pneumothorax complication. Using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, a threshold of 23 mm for chest wall to tumor edge and 39.4 mm for skin to tumor edge could help predict pneumothorax with significant sensitivities and specificities., Conclusions: This retrospective study demonstrated that approximately half of patients undergoing thoracic biopsy experienced complications. It was suggested that pneumothorax could be predicted by measuring the distance from the tumor edge to the chest wall and the skin to have better preoperation preparation and potentially mitigate the issue., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest: All authors have completed the ICMJE uniform disclosure form (available at https://jtd.amegroups.com/article/view/10.21037/jtd-24-955/coif).

Adolescents experience numerous changes, both psychologically and physically, and they are also the age group with a high prevalence of mental problems that need counseling help. The study aims to assess the difficulties and the needs for psychological support, factors affecting the need to use psychological services among adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 672 high school students in Thu Duc City, Vietnam. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference between grades 10-12 in student's difficulties (DS) and a statistically significant difference in needs for psychological services (NPS, RPS). Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference in academic performance for DS. The findings also implied that RPS was predicted by a DS, NPS, and factors affecting the need to use psychological services (FA), in which NPS and DS were mediators in the relationship between FA and RPS. The study significantly contributes to research practices and the theoretical framework that the parliament and the government use to make counselors mandatory in schools. Meanwhile, the study suggested that school counselors, educators, and teachers must appropriately evaluate students' counseling needs and psychological difficulties; this is essential to providing support and interventions when students deal with challenges promptly., (© 2024.

Improving the performance of molecular qubits is a fundamental milestone towards unleashing the power of molecular magnetism in the second quantum revolution. Taming spin relaxation and decoherence due to vibrations is crucial to reach this milestone, but this is hindered by our lack of understanding on the nature of vibrations and their coupling to spins. Here we propose a synergistic approach to study a prototypical molecular qubit. It combines inelastic X-ray scattering to measure phonon dispersions along the main symmetry directions of the crystal and spin dynamics simulations based on DFT. We show that the canonical Debye picture of lattice dynamics breaks down and that intra-molecular vibrations with very-low energies of 1-2 meV are largely responsible for spin relaxation up to ambient temperature. We identify the origin of these modes, thus providing a rationale for improving spin coherence. The power and flexibility of our approach open new avenues for the investigation of magnetic molecules with the potential of removing roadblocks toward their use in quantum devices., (© 2023.
