The Relationship between Future Self-Continuity and Mobile Phone Dependence of College Students: Mediating Role of Self-Control

The problem of mobile phone dependence is becoming more and more serious. Therefore, it is very important to explore the causes of mobile phone dependence and its psychological mechanism. One of the important characteristics of mobile phone dependence is the loss of control, which shows that self-control is an important factor affecting mobile phone dependence. Self-continuity is closely related to cell phone dependence. Mobile phone addicts usually use mobile phones to temporarily relieve the pressure and negative emotions, but it will lead to more pressure and negative emotions in the future. In order to examine the situation of college students’ future self-continuity, self-control and mobile phone addiction as well as their relationships, especially mediating effect of self-control, a total of 482 college students were assessed with Future Self-Continuity Scale (FSC), Self-Control Scale (SCS), and Mobile Phone Dependency Index (MPAI). The results showed that: (1) The future self-continuity, self-control and mobile phone dependence of the college students in this study were all at a medium level, and there was no significant difference in demographic variables (such as gender, grade, etc.); (2) Both future self-continuity and self-control were negatively correlated with mobile phone dependence; (3) There was a significant positive correlation between future self-continuity and self-control; (4) Self-control played a partial mediating role between future self-continuity and mobile phone dependence. Therefore, improving self-continuity and self-control can be an effective way to intervene mobile phone dependence. In addition research implication, limitations and future directions were discussed

Peripheral blood biomarkers in multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system. The heteroge-neity of pathophysiological processes in MS contributes to the highly variable course of the disease and unpre-dictable response to therapies. The major focus of the research on MS is the identification of biomarkers inbiologicalfluids, such as cerebrospinalfluid or blood, to guide patient management reliably. Because of the diffi-culties in obtaining spinalfluid samples and the necessity for lumbar puncture to make a diagnosis has reduced,the research of blood-based biomarkers may provide increasingly important tools for clinical practice. However,currently there are no clearly established MS blood-based biomarkers. The availability of reliable biomarkerscould radically alter the management of MS at critical phases of the disease spectrum, allowing for interventionstrategies that may prevent evolution to long-term neurological disability. This article provides an overview ofthis researchfield and focuses on recent advances in blood-based biomarker researc

Solutions for the quasi-linear elliptic problems involving the critical Sobolev exponent

Abstract In this article, we study the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for the quasi-linear elliptic problems involving critical Sobolev exponent and a Hardy term. The main tools adopted in our proofs are the concentration compactness principle and Nehari manifold

An exact estimate result for p-biharmonic equations with Hardy potential and negative exponents

Abstract In this paper, p-biharmonic equations involving Hardy potential and negative exponents with a parameter λ are considered. By means of the structure and properties of Nehari manifold, we give uniform lower bounds for Λ>0 $\varLambda >0$, which is the supremum of the set of λ. When λ∈(0,Λ) $\lambda \in (0, \varLambda )$, the above problems admit at least two positive solutions

CloScan

We believe that online shopping should be easy. We want to create a better everyday life for the many people. A purchase should be a one and done thing, without the need for returns. Our product enables online shoppers to see what clothing looks like on themselves, so they can find exactly the right thing for them. Purchasing the wrong item is especially pervasive in online clothing websites because the consumer can’t physically handle the product. For example, the shopper might buy a pair of shoes and later realize the shoes are the wrong size. Because there is no physical contact prior to purchase, online shoppers rely heavily on accurate and detailed product descriptions. Our product provides a solution for the retailers and consumers. It reduces returns and improves customer satisfaction. It makes it easy for customers to see how clothes fit before they buy and reduces fit-related returns with 3D-visualization qualities
