Background: Stressors can significantly threaten the physical and mental health of children and adolescents. While it has been demonstrated that fostering resilience to cope effectively with stressors benefits children and adolescents, research on the efficacy of interventions to promote resilience remains limited.

Objective: This study aimed to synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of interventions to promote resilience in enhancing child and adolescent stress coping abilities.

In the field of sports, athletes are often exposed to sports adversity or stressful situations. Athlete resilience, as a key psychological factor, is directly associated with athletes' physical and mental health and sports performance. Despite the growing attention to athlete resilience research, the field still lacks a unified conceptual and theoretical framework to explain the formation and consequences of athlete resilience.

Athlete burnout is considered a negative psychological consequence of stressors in sports, with the potential to adversely affect both the physical and mental well-being of athletes, as well as their overall performance. Resilience serves as a protective factor against stressors, enabling athletes to effectively manage the unique challenges they encounter in the sports environment, ultimately helping protect them from burnout. This narrative review aimed to summarize the direct evidence regarding the relationship between resilience and athlete burnout.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the overall efficacy of school-based interventions (SBIs) in promoting resilience in children and adolescents and to provide evidence for advancing mental health care for children and adolescents.

Methods: A search was conducted in seven electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Web of Science, APA PsycINFO, and Google Scholar. The Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was used for the quality appraisal.

Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the potential multidomain benefits of mind-body therapies (MBTs) for behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) in older people with dementia (OPWD).

Methods: Relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were identified using electronic databases and manual searches. Two independent researchers evaluated the risk of bias in the included trials using the Revised Cochrane Risk-of-Bias tool for randomized trials.

Background: While previous studies have investigated the risk factors contributing to drowning risk-taking behaviours in adolescents, whether peer risk-taking behaviours influence this relationship remains uncertain. This study explored the potential relationship between peer risk-taking behaviours and adolescent drowning risk-taking behaviours while examining whether drowning risk perceptions play a moderating role in this relationship.

Methods: A national survey of 7485 adolescents in China was conducted using three scales: the Drowning Risk-Taking Behaviours scale, the Peer Risk-Taking Behaviours scale and the Drowning Risk Perceptions scale.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) aged 10-25 exhibit an increased prevalence of mental health disorders. Resilience has been well established as a positive factor in promoting and protecting mental health. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to quantify the correlation between resilience and mental health in AYAs by including relevant observational studies.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) regarding the efficacy of music-based interventions (MBIs) in improving anxiety and depression in older adults with dementia.

Methods: Relevant RCTs were identified through searches in electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Web of Science, APA PsycINFO, and Google. The Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was used to evaluate the risk of bias in the included trials.

Topological phases are robust against weak perturbations, but break down when disorder becomes sufficiently strong. However, moderate disorder can also induce topologically nontrivial phases. Thouless pumping, as a (1+1)D counterpart of the integer quantum Hall effect, is one of the simplest manifestations of topology.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study included 8 randomized controlled trials with a total of 599 participants, showing significant improvements in insomnia, sleep onset latency, total sleep time, and sleep efficiency after CBT-I treatment.
  • * The findings suggest that CBT-I is effective and safe for treating insomnia in adolescents, making it a strong alternative or complement to medication for insomnia management.

Objective: The objective of this systematic review was to synthesize evidence from randomized controlled trials on the efficacy of different mind-body therapies (MBTs) in enhancing resilience in adolescents.

Methods: Randomized controlled trials of different MBTs were identified using electronic databases and manual searches, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost, APA PsycINFO, Cochrane Library, and Google database. The Revised Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (RoB 2) was used to assess risk of bias in randomized controlled trials.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates hydrodynamic transport properties in quantum dynamics to better understand exotic non-equilibrium phases of matter, focusing on simulating infinite-temperature transport in complex quantum systems.
  • By using a controllable superconducting quantum simulator, the researchers successfully prepared Haar-random states and observed diffusive spin transport with ergodic dynamics during the unitary evolution of a ladder-type quantum simulator.
  • They also examined the effects of strong disorder and tilted potential on transport properties, discovering signs of anomalous subdiffusion and thermalization breakdown, highlighting a scalable approach for investigating infinite-temperature spin transport.

Background: Depression poses significant threats to adolescents' health globally. Research has shown the potential of mind-body therapies to alleviate depression, but limited studies have directly compared the therapeutic effects of different types of mind-body therapies on adolescent depression and the optimal therapy remain unclear. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that met the inclusion criteria to explore the effectiveness of different types of mind-body therapies as interventions to improve depression among adolescents, and to identify the most effective interventions.

Mobile phone dependence (also known as internet dependence, MPD), defined as a problematic behavior characterized by excessive use or intermittent craving to use a mobile phone, results in various social, behavioral, and affective problems in daily life. In sports, MPD is directly related to the physical and mental health and sports performance of athletes. The individual and environmental factors, neurobiological mechanisms and theoretical models of MPD affecting athletic performance were analyzed by reviewing previous studies, aiming to construct effective training and development protocols to prevent and control the occurrence of MPD in athletes.

  • - The study focuses on using a 43-qubit superconducting quantum processor, called Chuang-tzu, to simulate exotic topological phases of quantum matter and explore their properties.
  • - Researchers engineered diagonal Aubry-André-Harper models and successfully demonstrated the Hofstadter butterfly energy spectrum, along with experimental verification of topological zero modes, which had not been observed before.
  • - The significant number of qubits enables the capture of complex topological features in quantum systems, paving the way for advanced simulations of quantum topological systems using noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) technology.

The quantum Hall effect, fundamental in modern condensed matter physics, continuously inspires new theories and predicts emergent phases of matter. Here we experimentally demonstrate three types of Chern insulators with synthetic dimensions on a programable 30-qubit-ladder superconducting processor. We directly measure the band structures of the 2D Chern insulator along synthetic dimensions with various configurations of Aubry-André-Harper chains and observe dynamical localisation of edge excitations.
