    Abstract Purpose: Mental health and substance use social workers must be prepared to work with people with disabilities, as this population has higher rates of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), and ACEs can lead to mental health and substance use problems. The study's purpose is to assess the moderating effect of disability on the interrelationships among ACEs, mental health, and binge drinking.
    Materials and methods: Using data from the 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey, we first used multigroup confirmatory factor analysis to establish the underlying factor structure of the ACEs questionnaire for respondents with and without disabilities. Next, we used multigroup structural equation modeling to assess the mediating effect of mental health difficulties on the association between ACEs and binge drinking for respondents with and without disabilities.
    Results: A three-factor measurement model (emotional or physical abuse, sexual abuse, and household dysfunction) demonstrated excellent model fits. Mental health difficulties significantly mediated the association between ACEs and binge drinking for all respondents. Disability status was a statistically significant moderator of a few associations, with more mental health variance explained by ACEs for the disabled respondents. Direct paths showed household dysfunction and sexual abuse had greater impacts on mental health for disabled respondents, and indirect paths showed these factors also had greater impacts on binge drinking among disabled respondents.
    Discussion and conclusion: To prevent mental health and binge drinking problems among disabled individuals, we need evidence-based interventions to identify their ACEs and provide accessible, trauma-informed treatments to them.

    Abstract In the era of big data, data contain great value and become important strategic resource in today??s information society. However, a large number of inconsistent data occur during the process of data update and management, which causes unpredictable side effects for enterprises. There are three repair methods based on functional dependencies. The first two methods strongly rely on the Master data or confidence value of given tuples provided by enterprises, which are hard to fulfill in real application. And the third kind of repair method based on the minimal deletion principle will cause the loss of information. Moreover, when solving the conflicts of [X→Y], existing methods only support modifying Y attribute. In view of the shortcomings mentioned above, with the situation of missing tuple confidence, this paper proposes an increased data repair with confidence value token, which can be divided into two parts: the first part is to generate confidence value token automatically by analyzing operator log and knowledge rules, and the second part includes an increased repair strategy which can determine the repair of X or Y attributes according to the confidence value token. Meanwhile, the target value is chosen to repair dirty data with the combination of conditional probability. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high reliability and scalability.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in significant changes in nursing education. Maintaining social distance could slow down the spread of COVID-19, and it was necessary, but it significantly reduced students' hands-on clinical practice experience in healthcare settings. Traditional classroom teaching in schools has transitioned to distance or online learning methods, which significantly reduced students' hands-on clinical practice experience in healthcare settings. Although distance education had been implemented for a long time, there are many problems and challenges to be resolved. The experiences and needs of nursing students in remote clinical training urgently require further understanding.
    Purpose: To understand the stress and coping strategies of online nursing practicum courses for Taiwanese nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
    Methods: A qualitative research approach with purposive sampling was supplemented by snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, and the data were collected following the eight-step process outlined by Waltz, Strickland, and Lenz (2010). The participants were 12 nursing students on a two-year nursing RN-to-BSN program at a university in Eastern Taiwan, consisting of 11 females and 1 male student.
    Findings: The stress and coping behaviors of nursing students consist of four main themes, each with three subthemes, including "urgent changes", "the gaps between online courses and practical operations", "mixed feelings of joy and anxiety" and "unexpected gains".
    Conclusions: The pandemic has impacted nursing students' learning and living. Engaging in online nursing practicum brought about significant stress; nevertheless, students employed various coping strategies to navigate through this challenging period. The findings of this study would also help nursing educators understand the learning gaps in clinical practicum among students.

    Abstract The construal level theory (CLT) has been supported and applied widely in social psychology. Yet, what remains unclear is the mechanism behind it. The authors extend the current literature by hypothesizing that perceived control mediates and locus of control (LOC) moderates the effect of psychological distance on the construal level. Four experimental studies were conducted. The results indicate that individuals perceive low (vs. high) situational control from a psychological distance (vs. proximity), and the resultant control perception influences their motivation in control pursuit, producing a high (vs. low) construal level. Moreover, LOC (i.e., one's chronic control belief) affects an individual's motivation to pursue control and yields a reversal of distance-construal relationship under external (vs. internal) LOC as a result. Overall, this research first identifies perceived control as a closer predictor of construal level, and the findings are expected to help with influencing human behavior by facilitating individuals' construal level

    Abstract Bounded rationality, asymmetric information and spillover effects are widespread in the economic market, and had been studied extensively in oligopoly games, however, few literature discussed the incomplete information between bounded rational oligopolists in an enterprise cluster. Considering the positive externalities brought by the spillover effect between cluster enterprises, a duopoly Cournot-Bertrand game with bounded rationality and asymmetric information is proposed in this paper. In our model, firm 1 with an information advantage knows all the price information of firm 2 with an information advantage, while firm 2 only partially knows the output information of firm 1, and they adopt boundedly rational expectation and naïve expectation respectively. Interestingly, our theoretical analysis reveals that: (1) When the output adjustment speed of enterprises with information advantage is large or the substitutability between monopoly products is high, moderate effective information is beneficial to the stability of product market, while too low or too high effective information may lead to market disorder. (2) The relationship between cluster spillover and Nash equilibrium stability depends on product substitutability. When the substitutability is small, smaller cluster spillovers are more conducive to the stability of product output or price; when the substitutability is large, the larger the cluster spillover is, the more stable the product market is. Our research has an important theoretical and practical significance to the production-price competition in oligopoly markets.

    Abstract To apply the App to the curriculum could improve students' motivation and concentration, and also strengthen the effectiveness of professional knowledge of nursing students.
    Objectives: To construct and evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone applications (i-STAR) in pediatric nursing courses.
    Methods: Quasi-experimental study and two-group repeated-measure design were used to evaluate the effectiveness of smartphone applications (i-STAR) in pediatric nursing courses. The "i" means "interactive", students had to log into App and finish four steps, including "Situation(S), Task(T), Action(A), and Reflection(R). A total of 163 nursing students in the third grade of associate's degree in nursing (ADN) participated in the study. The experimental group consisted of 77 participants, whereas the control group consisted of 86 participants. The instruments included the clinical reasoning readiness scale (CRRS), self-directed learning instrument (SDLI), and learning satisfaction of students. The 1st phase was the development, construction, and testing of the "i-STAR App", including hyperbilirubinemia, pneumonia, and urinary tract infection (UTI). In the 2nd phase, students operated and applied the App in the classroom. The 3rd phase was to evaluate the effectiveness of the "i-STAR App" in the course.
    Results: The average scores of CRRS and SDLI were not significantly different between the two groups in the T0 andT1 (p > .05). The experimental group of CRRS and SDLI were better than the control group in T0-T1, T1-T2, and T0-T2 (p < .001). The experimental group showed better CRRS and SDLI scores than the control group in T0-T1, and T0-T2 with Repeated measures ANOVA. Also, the experimental group showed prolonged learning effectiveness. The experimental group (41.22 ± 6.08) was more satisfied than the control group (37.29 ± 7.40) (p < .05), although their academic performance was about the same (p > .05).
    Conclusion: "i-STAR App" could enhance students' interest in pediatric nursing courses, strengthen nursing students' clinical reasoning and self-directed learning ability.

    Abstract In this study, switchable terahertz (THz) multi-orbital angular momentum (OAM) Bessel beams (BBs) were developed based on a spin-decoupled reflective multifunctional metasurface (MTS). Switchability was achieved by switching the feed between left-hand circular polarization (LCP), right-hand circular polarization (RCP), and linear polarization (LP) incidences. A switchable physical model was established for calculating the beam direction, OAM mode, polarization, and non-diffractive distance of the outgoing BBs. As an example, a spin-decoupled MTS was designed to generate dual BBs under LCP incidence, which was subsequently switched to RCP or LP for switchability. The outgoing BBs could be switched among three types of beams: Type-1 under LCP incidence (LCP, θL = 40°, φL = 0°, lL = 1, dL = 18 cm) and (RCP, θR = -40°, φR = 0°, lR = -1, dR = 20 cm); Type-2 under RCP incidence (RCP, θR = 40°, φR = 0°, lR = 1, dR = 18 cm) and (LCP, θL = -19°, φL = 0°, lL = 3, dL = 16.4 cm); and Type-3 under LP incidence (LP, θ = 40°, φ = 0°, l = 1, d = 18 cm), (RCP, θR = -40°, φR = 0°, lR = -1, dR = 20 cm) and (LCP, θL = -19°, φL = 0°, lL = 3, dL = 16.4 cm). Compared with previous MTSs, the proposed spin-decoupled MTS has the advantages of switchability among BBs, high non-diffractive distance/aperture size ratio of 15, large beam deflection angle of up to 40°, and high BB conversion efficiency of up to 96%. The simulated results were consistent with those calculated using the physical model, thus validating the physical model. The designed switchable BBs have potential THz near-field applications, such as high-capacity near-field wireless communications, wireless power transfer, high-resolution imaging, non-destructive testing, and speed detection of high-speed rotating objects.

    Abstract Our prior investigations have demonstrated the pivotal role of IL-33 in facilitating the maturation of oligodendrocytes (OLs), prompting our interest in exploring its potential therapeutic effects. In this study, our focus was directed towards deciphering the functions of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in established demyelinating mouse model induced by the feeding of cuprizone (CPZ)-containing diet. We observed the reduction in corpus callosal adenomatous polyposis coli (APC)
