    Socio-Psychological Factors of Rising Trend of Suicidal Ideation among Indigenous Workforce: Evidence from Himalayan Range

    Zia Ullah1, Esra AlDhaen2, Fatema Saleh AlDhaen2, Bee-Lia Chua3, Heesup Han4,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.12, pp. 1245-1256, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.030577

    Abstract Apart from socio-economic disparities, indigenous people of the Himalayan range in Asia face an increasing trend of suicides. The tragic suicidal events usually go unaddressed, and no strategies are presently in place to mitigate suicides in the future. This study aims to explain the prevailing causes of suicidal ideation to come up with some policy recommendations. Through a preliminary survey, we identified social stigma, social isolation, lack of healthcare facilities, and domestic violence as the potential reasons for suicidal ideation. We identified individuals with suicide ideation for further data collection to test the relationships between the identified variables and suicidal… More >

    Gender Differences in the Incidence and Related Factors of Low Social Support among Adolescents with Subthreshold Depression

    Yi Shi, Fangfang Shangguan*, Jing Xiao*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.12, pp. 1257-1263, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.030516

    Abstract Background: Social support is related to depression, but the gender differences and related factors that contribute to low social support among adolescents with subthreshold depression remain to be elucidated. This study explores the relationship between social support and depression, in addition to the gender difference in the incidence of low social support among adolescents with subthreshold depression and its related factors. Methods: A total of 371 Chinese adolescents with subthreshold depression were recruited. All subjects were rated on the Social Support Scale for Adolescents, the Response Style Scale, the Self-Perception Profile for Children, the Individualism-collectivism scale.

    Abstract Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) plays an essential role in cellular metabolism, mitochondrial homeostasis, inflammation, and senescence. However, the role of NAD+-regulated genes, including coding and long non-coding genes in cancer development is poorly understood. We constructed a prediction model based on the expression level of NAD+ metabolism-related genes (NMRGs). Furthermore, we validated the expression of NMRGs in gastric cancer (GC) tissues and cell lines; additionally, β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor of NAD+, was used to treat the GC cell lines to analyze its effects on the expression level of NMRGs lncRNAs and cellular proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and senescence-associated secretory… More > Graphic Abstract

    CRABP2 regulates infiltration of cancer-associated fibroblasts and immune response in melanoma

    SHUANGSHUANG ZENG1,2, XI CHEN1,2, QIAOLI YI1,2, ABHIMANYU THAKUR3, HUI YANG4,*, YUANLIANG YAN1,2, SHAO LIU1,2,*

    Oncology Research, Vol.32, No.2, pp. 261-272, 2024, DOI:10.32604/or.2023.042345

    Abstract Finding biomarkers for immunotherapy is an urgent issue in cancer treatment. Cellular retinoic acid-binding protein 2 (CRABP2) is a controversial factor in the occurrence and development of human tumors. However, there is limited research on the relationship between CRABP2 and immunotherapy response. This study found that negative correlations of CRABP2 and immune checkpoint markers (PD-1, PD-L1, and CTLA-4) were observed in breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA), skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM), stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) and testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT). In particular, in SKCM patients who were treated with PD-1 inhibitors, high levels of CRABP2 predicted poor prognosis. Additionally, CRABP2 expression was… More >

    Maximizing Influence in Temporal Social Networks: A Node Feature-Aware Voting Algorithm

    Wenlong Zhu1,2,*, Yu Miao1, Shuangshuang Yang3, Zuozheng Lian1,2, Lianhe Cui1

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3095-3117, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.045646

    Abstract Influence Maximization (IM) aims to select a seed set of size k in a social network so that information can be spread most widely under a specific information propagation model through this set of nodes. However, most existing studies on the IM problem focus on static social network features, while neglecting the features of temporal social networks. To bridge this gap, we focus on node features reflected by their historical interaction behavior in temporal social networks, i.e., interaction attributes and self-similarity, and incorporate them into the influence maximization algorithm and information propagation model. Firstly, we propose a node feature-aware voting… More >

    From Social Media to Ballot Box: Leveraging Location-Aware Sentiment Analysis for Election Predictions

    Asif Khan1, Nada Boudjellal2, Huaping Zhang1,*, Arshad Ahmad3, Maqbool Khan3

    CMC-Computers, Materials & Continua, Vol.77, No.3, pp. 3037-3055, 2023, DOI:10.32604/cmc.2023.044403

    Abstract Predicting election outcomes is a crucial undertaking, and various methods are employed for this purpose, such as traditional opinion polling, and social media analysis. However, traditional polling approaches often struggle to capture the intricate nuances of voter sentiment at local levels, resulting in a limited depth of analysis and understanding. In light of this challenge, this study focuses on predicting elections at the state/regional level along with the country level, intending to offer a comprehensive analysis and deeper insights into the electoral process. To achieve this, the study introduces the Location-Based Election Prediction Model (LEPM), which utilizes social media data,… More >

    Abstract Upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) is the most important plant producing natural fibers for the textile industry. In this study, we first investigated the phenotypic variation of seven agronomic traits of 273 diverse cotton accessions in the years 2017 and 2018, which were from 18 geographical regions. We found large variations among the traits in different geographical regions and only half of the traits in either years 2017 or 2018 followed a normal distribution. We then genotyped the collection with 81,612 high quality SNPs. Phylogenetic tree and population structure revealed a diverse genetic structure of the core collection, and geographical diversification… More >

    A Model for Predicting the Psychological Well-Being of Older Adults in South Korea

    Hyangjin Park1, Haeryun Cho2, So Yeon Yoo3,*

    International Journal of Mental Health Promotion, Vol.25, No.11, pp. 1219-1228, 2023, DOI:10.32604/ijmhp.2023.041490

    Abstract This study examined factors related to the psychological well-being of older adults and built and verified a model for predicting psychological well-being. The participants were 350 older adults aged over 60 years who lived in South Korea and were active in the local community. The model proposed in this study was found to be suitable. Depression, self-efficacy, and social support had a direct effect on the psychological well-being of older adults, while depression, activities of daily living (ADLs), and self-efficacy had an indirect effect. Self-efficacy and social support mediated the relationship between depression and psychological well-being, and self-efficacy mediated the… More >
