The Relationship between Self-Esteem and Social Phobia among College Students:The Mediating Effect of Fear of Negative Evaluation and the Moderating Effect of Perfectionism

Objectives:To explore the relationship between college students’self-esteem(SE)and their social phobia(SP),as well as the mediating role of fear of negative evaluation(FNE)and the moderating effect of perfectionism.Methods:A convenience sampling survey was carried out for 1020 college students from Shandong Province of China,utilizing measures of college students’self-esteem,fear of negative evaluation,perfectionism,and social phobia.Data analysis was performed using the SPSS PROCESS macro.Results:(1)college students’self-esteem significantly and negatively predicts their social phobia(β=−0.31,t=−10.10,p<0.001);(2)fear of negative evaluation partially mediates the relation between self-esteem and social phobia among college students,with the mediating effect accounting for 48.97%of the total effect(TE);(3)the mediating role of fear of negative evaluation is moderated by perfectionism(β=0.18,t=7.75,p<0.001),where higher levels of perfectionism strengthen the mediating effect of fear of negative evaluation.Conclusions:Perfectionism moderates the mediating effect that fear of negative evaluation plays,establishing a moderated mediating model.

Numerical investigation of the effects of soil-structure and granular material-structure interaction on the seismic response of a flat-bottom reinforced concrete silo

In this work,a numerical study of the effects of soil-structure interaction(SSI)and granular material-structure interaction(GSI)on the nonlinear response and seismic capacity of flat-bottomed storage silos is conducted.A series of incremental dynamic analyses(IDA)are performed on a case of large reinforced concrete silo using 10 seismic recordings.The IDA results are given by two average IDA capacity curves,which are represented,as well as the seismic capacity of the studied structure,with and without a consideration of the SSI while accounting for the effect of GSI.These curves are used to quantify and evaluate the damage of the studied silo by utilizing two damage indices,one based on dissipated energy and the other on displacement and dissipated energy.The cumulative energy dissipation curves obtained by the average IDA capacity curves with and without SSI are presented as a function of the base shear,and these curves allow one to obtain the two critical points and the different limit states of the structure.It is observed that the SSI and GSI significantly influence the seismic response and capacity of the studied structure,particularly at higher levels of PGA.Moreover,the effect of the SSI reduces the damage index of the studied structure by 4%.

Perfect 1-k Matchings of Bipartite Graphs

Let k be a positive integer and G a bipartite graph with bipartition (X,Y). A perfect 1-k matching is an edge subset M of G such that each vertex in Y is incident with exactly one edge in M and each vertex in X is incident with exactly k edges in M. A perfect 1-k matching is an optimal semi-matching related to the load-balancing problem, where a semi-matching is an edge subset M such that each vertex in Y is incident with exactly one edge in M, and a vertex in X can be incident with an arbitrary number of edges in M. In this paper, we give three sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of perfect 1-k matchings and for the existence of 1-k matchings covering | X |−dvertices in X, respectively, and characterize k-elementary bipartite graph which is a graph such that the subgraph induced by all k-allowed edges is connected, where an edge is k-allowed if it is contained in a perfect 1-k matching.

The Absence of “Perfect Induction”in the Science

The present paper is finalized to show that the Science, even if considered in its two different Phenomenological Approaches at present known, is unable to assert that: “Thinks are like that”. This is because both the two Scientific Approaches previously mentioned have not the property of “the perfect induction”. Consequently, although they can even reach an experimental confirmation of the theoretical results, and thus a “valid description” of the various phenomena of the surrounding world, such a description has not an “absolute value”. In fact, it always and only has an “operative validity”, that is, it exclusively and solely refers to an “experimental point of view”. This means that such an “operative validity” cannot represent the basis for a logical process characterized by a “perfect induction”. In addition, the Traditional Scientific Approach is also characterized by “Insoluble” Problems, “Intractable Problems”, Problems with “drifts”, which could generally be termed as “side effects”. On the other hand, the same com-possible Scientific Approach based on the Emerging Quality of Self-Organizing Systems, also presents its “Emerging Exits”. Consequently, none of the two mentioned scientific Approaches has the “gift” of “the perfect induction”. However, there are significant differences between the two. Differences that may “suggest” the most appropriate choice among them for an “operative point of view”. This conclusion will be com-proved by considering, with particular reference, both the “side effects”, which are related to the Traditional Approach and, on the other hand, the “Emerging Exits”, which specifically pertain to the new Scientific Approach based on the Emerging Quality of Self-Organizing Systems.

Perfect Transfer of Many-Particle Quantum State via High-Dimensional Systems with Spectrum-Matched Symmetry

The quantum state transmission through the medium of high-dimensional many-particle system （boson or spinless fermion） is generally studied with a symmetry analysis. We discover that, if the spectrum of a Hamiltonian matches the symmetry of a fermion or boson system in a certain fashion, a perfect quantum state transfer can be implemented without any operation on the medium with pre-engineered nearest neighbor （NN）. We also study a simple but realistic near half-filled tight-bindlng fermion system wlth uniform NN hopping integral. We show that an arbitrary many-particle state near the fermi surface can be perfectly transferred to its translational counterpart.

Predicting adolescent perfectionism: The role of socio-demographic traits, personal relationships, and media

BACKGROUND The present study investigated perfectionism from the bioecological model perspective as a multidimensional construct manifested in forms of excessively high personal standards,exaggerated worries about personal mistakes,doubt in one’s performance,oversized order and organization emphasis,and the importance of parental valuations and expectations.AIM To investigate the relation between perfectionism;the quality of family,peer,and college relationships;and media usage and content interests.METHODS The research was implemented in 2020 with 203 students(134 female,66%)aged 18-25 years,enrolled at the University of Osijek in Croatia.The questionnaire had five parts:A)sociodemographic data;B)the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale;C)the“general life satisfaction”and“current situational life satisfaction”scale;D)family,peer,and college relationships quality scale;and E)media usage and content interests scale.All of the implemented instruments showed satisfactory reliability.A hierarchical regression analysis was implemented with the aim of establishing significant perfectionism predictors.RESULTS Age and gender were significant predictors of perfectionism.Participants with lower family relationship quality reported higher parental expectations and complaining as well as significantly higher doubts in personal performance and concern about mistakes.Similarly,a lower peer relationship quality predicted doubts in personal performance and stronger concerns about mistakes.The quality of college relationships positively predicted higher perfectionist personal standards and organization.General life satisfaction predicted higher concerns about mistakes,while current situational life satisfaction predicted higher levels of perfectionist organization.Media usage intensity had no significant effect.Adolescent interest in information-educational media predicted higher personal standards as well as concern about mistakes and organization.Higher interests in entertainment media content predicted more concern about mistakes,while interest in negative media content negatively predicted organization in adolescents.CONCLUSION Sociodemographic traits,relationships with family,peers and colleagues,as well as life satisfaction and media content interests represent significant adolescent perfectionism predictors,explaining 14%-28%of individual perfectionism dimensions.

Optical Properties and Structural Perfection of Chicago Sky Blue 6B-doped KDP Crystals

KDP crystals doped with Chicago Sky Blue 6B（CSB-6B） were grown by traditional lowering temperature method.The optical properties and structural perfection of KDP crystals were investigated by transmittance spectra and high-resolution X-ray diffraction,respectively.The results indicate that CSB-6B tends to be incorporated into the pyramidal sector of KDP crystals（PyS-KDP） and lead to inclusions parallel to（101） face.Additionally,the transmittance of as-grown KDP crystals decreases as the amount of CSB-6B increases. Moreover,the rocking curves of PyS-KDP suggest that CSB-6B can deteriorate the structural perfection of PyS-KDP.

Cross-layer design of combining AMC with HARQ in cooperative relay system with perfect and imperfect CSI

A cross-layer design which combines adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) at the physical layer with a hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) protocol at the data link layer (LL) is presented, in cooperative relay system over Nakagami-m fading channels with perfect and imperfect channel state information (CSI). In order to maximize spectral efficiency (SE) under delay and packet error rate (PER) performance constraints, a state transition model and an optimization framework with perfect CSI are presented. Then the framework is extended to cooperative relay system with imperfect CSI. The numerical results show that the scheme can achieve maximum SE while satisfying transmitting delay requirements. Compared with the imperfect CSI, the average PER with perfect CSI is much lower and the spectral efficiency is much higher.

The Politics of Human Perfection and the Politics of Human Imperfection： Chantal Mouffe versus Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens on European Inequalities

The title of this paper refers to Michael Oakeshott＇s distinction between the politics of faith and the politics of scepticism. The ＂faith＂ expresses a belief in the capacity of government to concentrate all the power and resources upon the project of human improvement and perfection, while the ＂scepticism＂ is the politics of the powerless in which government cannot produce perfection and enjoys only limited opportunity of directing the activities of its subjects. The aim of this article is to revise Oakeshott＇s distinction in order to apply it to the discussion on inequalities affecting Europe. This discussion held by Chantal Mouffe, Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens focused on issues such as： modern patterns of inequality, the coexistence of different ethnic, religious and political forms of life, ＂legitimization＂ of social inequalities, the institutionalization of norms of equality, the problem of recognition, the common identity and so on. The key question is： How the values of equality and justice are best realized in the structure of modern society？ To answer this question, it is necessary not only to assess critilically the authority of governments, but also to examine possible ways of development of the idea of liberal democracy and power relations in contemporary political socidtts. What is our perspective on the way to solve these problems--the reinvention of politics or democratizing democracy？ Even if this research will not help us to find the best political project, however we may be less often cheated in this discussion by irrelevant and ambiguous arguments.

Application of Perfect Difference Codes in Wireless Infrared Systems

In this paper, we apply the perfect difference codes in wireless infrared systems considering the diffuse indoor optical wireless configuration. The bit error rate performance of the uplink wireless infrared system using Gaussian approximations is analyzed taking into account the effects of multiple-access interference, the ambient light noise, and the dark current. The proposed system also uses the compact encoder and decoder architecture resulting in a low cost system.

The Stages of the Soul Through the Path of Perfection:The Journey of the Servants to the Place of Return(Seyr al-‘Ibād ilāal-Ma‘ād)

The Journey of the Servants to the Place of Return(Seyr al-‘Ibād ilāal-Ma‘ād)is an allegory mathnavi that suggests a man’s spiritual purification through a deeper understanding of creation,the influence of the planets,and the four elements on his thoughts and behaviors.Their effect will change a man’s life after his death if he does not control them.By taming the negative traits,he may enjoy the bliss of paradise if he does not control them,and may enter into the fire of hell.This mystical/literary work offers practical methods that may eliminate negative traits in an individual’s soul if he practices them.The poet emphasizes the necessity of following a master who guides the pupil through a spiritual journey to achieve perfection and become one with the Creator.

Analysis on the Reform Path of the Hierarchical Treatment System for Juvenile Delinquents in China

Although it has stipulated a treatment system for juvenile delinquents in the existing law of China,the related provisions are scattered throughout different legal norms and need to be integrated and perfected.The existing treatment of juvenile delinquents,including administrative treatment and judicial treatment,mainly faces the following problems:(a)The treatment measures are too rough and simple to effectively combine punishment with leniency effectively;(b)The hierarchical treatment measures are not perfect enough procedurally;(c)The non-criminal treatment measures do not produce the desired effect.Based on a good understanding of the basic connotations of the hierarchical treatment system for juvenile delinquents,it is necessary to take the following steps:(a)Treat the juvenile delinquents in appropriate ways according to the subject,specific content,and severity of juvenile delinquencies;(b)Take highly-targeted and flexible treatment measures at different stages of criminal proceedings,namely,take criminal coercive measures against juvenile delinquents in a prudent manner and impose criminal punishments against them in a relatively lenient manner,to better help them return to society.

Suggestions on Perfecting Index Systems of Building a Well-Off Society in an All-Round Way

The index systems are not only the tools to evaluate existing practice results, but also the guides to the future development direction and development way of practical activities. ＂Well-off society＂ is a relatively vague concept, and the contents of it ceaselessly change with the advancement of society and the development of productivity. Now the construction of a well-off society in an all-round way enters a critical stage, so the original evaluation standards must change with gradual advancement of the construction goal of a well-off society. So it is very necessary for us to build a comprehensive evaluation index system and make it better and better to provide effective statistical consultation and statistical supervision for constructing a well-off society in an all-round way. This paper attempts to analyze the current evaluation index system, then puts forward the general thinking and flame work of the index system of building a well-off society in an all-round way.

High-temperature annealing of(201)β-Ga_(2)O_(3) substrates for reducing structural defects after diamond sawing

A commercial epi-ready(201)β-Ga_(2)O_(3) wafer was investigated upon diamond sawing into pieces measuring 2.5×3 mm^(2).The defect structure and crystallinity in the cut samples has been studied by X-ray diffraction and a selective wet etching technique.The density of defects was estimated from the average value of etch pits calculated,including near-edge regions,and was obtained close to 109 cm^(-2).Blocks with lattice orientation deviated by angles of 1-3 arcmin,as well as non-stoichiometric fractions with a relative strain about(1.0-1.5)×10^(-4)in the[201]direction,were found.Crystal perfection was shown to decrease significantly towards the cutting lines of the samples.To reduce the number of structural defects and increase the crystal perfection of the samples via increasing defect motion mobility,the thermal annealing was employed.Polygonization and formation of a mosaic structure coupled with dislocation wall appearance upon 3 h of annealing at 1100℃ was observed.The fractions characterized by non-stoichiometry phases and the block deviation disappeared.The annealing for 11 h improved the homogeneity and perfection in the crystals.The average density of the etch pits dropped down significantly to 8×10^(6) cm^(-2).

Generation of microwave photon perfect W states of three coupled superconducting resonators

We propose an efficient method for the generation of perfect W states on three microwave superconducting resonators,of which the two nearest neighbors are coupled by a symmetric direct current superconducting quantum interference device(dc-SQUID).With suitable external magnetic fluxes applied to the dc-SQUID symmetry loops,on-chip tunable interactions between neighboring resonators can be realized,and different perfect W states can be deterministically created on-demand in one step.Numerical simulations show that high-fidelity target states can be generated and our scheme is robust against imperfect parameter tuning and environment-induced decoherence.The present work may have potential applications for implementing quantum computation and quantum information processing based on microwave photons.

Finite-difference modeling of Maxwell viscoelastic media developed from perfectly matched layer

In numerical simulation of wave propagation,both viscoelastic materials and perfectly matched layers(PMLs)attenuate waves.The wave equations for both the viscoelastic model and the PML contain convolution operators.However,convolution operator is intractable in finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)method.A great deal of progress has been made in using time stepping instead of convolution in FDTD.To incorporate PML into viscoelastic media,more memory variables need to be introduced,which increases the code complexity and computation costs.By modifying the nonsplitting PML formulation,I propose a viscoelastic model,which can be used as a viscoelastic material and/or a PML just by adjusting the parameters.The proposed viscoelastic model is essentially equivalent to a Maxwell model.Compared with existing PML methods,the proposed method requires less memory and its implementation in existing finite-difference codes is much easier.The attenuation and phase velocity of P-and S-waves are frequency independent in the viscoelastic model if the related quality factors(Q)are greater than 10.The numerical examples show that the method is stable for materials with high absorption(Q=1),and for heterogeneous media with large contrast of acoustic impedance and large contrast of viscosity.
