Empathy and Mental Health of Preschool Teachers: A Latent Profile Analysis by Jin R, Li X, Huang H

“…Latent profile analysis (LPA) was employed to identify subgroups of preschool teachers by self- and other empathy pattern types. Descriptive statistics, bivariate cross-tabulations, and multinomial logistic regression were used to characterize each profile while quantifying associations with mental health.Results: A four-profile model was identified as the best fit in this latent profile analysis: the largest profile of preschool teachers was characterized by moderate self- and other-oriented empathy (46.5%), a second profile was characterized by high self- and other-oriented empathy (25.2%), a third profile was characterized by high other-oriented and low self-oriented empathy (20.8%), and the smallest profile was characterized by both low self- and other-oriented empathy (7.5%). …”

The Vandal habrosýne and its Significance in Procopius’ Narrative on the Rise and Fall of the Vandal State by Michał Stachura

“…If we should recognize that what we have here is a particular literary allusion, a re-application of a Herodotean pattern for the purpose of recounting a contemporary story, this passage takes on a new meaning: representing the former affluence and the present misery of the Vandals serves as a starting point to deliberations on human helplessness in the face of Fate, while referring to habrosýne, as a stereotypical characteristic attributed to the Lydians, is an additional clue to put us on a track leading to associations between the two narratives.…”

UWB Base Station Deployment Optimization Method Considering NLOS Effects Based on Levy Flight-Improved Particle Swarm Optimizer by Shengliang Wang, Ming Gao, Ling’ai Li, Dong Lv, Yingqi Li

“…The ultra-wideband (UWB) base station (BS) deployment pattern seriously affects mobile tag positioning accuracy, but the traditional classical deployment methods, such as rectangular and diamond deployment, cannot take into account the influence of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) occlusion, which leads to a blind area in positioning. …”

Timing of cochlear implantation in large vestibular aqueduct syndrome–a retrospective cohort analysis by Xiao Liu, Wanting Huang, Yunxiu Wang, Jingjing Xu, Lulu Xie, Lin Liu, Jia Chen

“…CI timing was comparable among different hearing loss progression patterns. Finally, among patients meeting CI criteria but still benefiting from HA, while those who directly underwent CI had an earlier age at implantation, their interval from IAA to CI was similar to those who initially underwent HA fitting.ConclusionThe majority of LVAS patients experience progressive hearing loss and undergo CI during early childhood. …”

Low susceptibility of invasive red lionfish (Pterois volitans) to a generalist ectoparasite in both its introduced and native ranges. by Paul C Sikkel, Lillian J Tuttle, Katherine Cure, Ann Marie Coile, Mark A Hixon

“…Lionfish in both ranges had very few gnathiids when compared with other species, suggesting that lionfish are not highly susceptible to infestation by generalist ectoparasitic gnathiids. While this pattern implies that release from gnathiid infestation is unlikely to contribute to the success of lionfish as invaders, it does suggest that in environments with high gnathiid densities, lionfish may have an advantage over species that are more susceptible to gnathiids. …”

APPLICATION OF DBSCAN FOR CLUSTERING SOCIETY BASED ON WASTE MANAGEMENT BEHAVIOR by Hafizh Syihabuddin Al Jauhar, Solimun Solimun, Rahma Fitriani

“…This research aims to answer the challenge of identifying the characteristics of the Batu City community in waste management, where traditional clustering techniques are often suboptimal due to the presence of noise or objects that do not fit the general pattern. As a solution, the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm is applied, which allows the clustering of objects based on local density and detects the presence of noise or outliers in the data. …”
