As the primary value system in Chinese culture for almost 2,000 years, Confucianism has profoundly influenced the mindset of Chinese people. Cultural psychology studies have highlighted that individuals with different cultural backgrounds vary in their preferences for certain personality traits, such as self-construal, and their metacognitive characteristics, such as thinking modes. Compared with Western cultures, Chinese culture shows a preference for the interdependent self and holistic thinking. To investigate the relationship between the relational-interdependent self, holistic thinking, and traditional Chinese values (which are represented by Confucian values), we surveyed 327 Chinese adults using the Confucian Traditional Values Survey, Holistic Thinking Scale, and Relational-Interdependent Self-Construal Scale. The results show that Confucian values positively influence both holistic thinking and the relational-interdependent self, the latter of which partially mediates the positive relationship between Confucian values and holistic thinking. This study deepens the understanding of the psychological features of Chinese culture.

The transition from traditional animal-based approaches and assessments to New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) marks a scientific revolution in regulatory toxicology, with the potential of enhancing human and environmental protection. However, implementing the effective use of NAMs in regulatory toxicology has proven to be challenging, and so far, efforts to facilitate this change frequently focus on singular technical, psychological or economic inhibitors. This article takes a system-thinking approach to these challenges, a holistic framework for describing interactive relationships between the components of a system of interest.

Introduction: Simulation is a widely used educational tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. There are different levels of simulation fidelity; low fidelity uses simplistic models but is often cost/time effective, whereas high fidelity tends to bring more realism but is resource-intensive. In undergraduate medical training, simulation is often used for students in their final year of medical school prior to qualifying as a doctor, and therefore, the literature is limited with regard to students in their earlier years of training.

The current most mature, competitive, and dominant battery technology for electric vehicles (EVs) is the Li-ion battery (LIB). As future EVs will rely on battery technology, further innovation is essential for the success of mobility electrification towards improving the driving range and reducing the charging time and price competitiveness. The commonly cited next generation technologies are hybrid and solid-state batteries (SSBs) enabling high energy densities using lithium.
