Despite rising concerns about alcohol use in artisanal mining, a focused investigation into its psychosocial drivers and mental health implications within sub-Saharan Africa's informal mining sector remains scarce. This study investigates the prevalence, motivations, and the association between alcohol use and mental health outcomes (depression, anxiety, and stress) among artisanal miners in Ghana. Using community based cross-sectional survey data from 664 miners, alcohol use was assessed using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test, while symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression were measured via the GAD-7, PSS, and PHQ-9 instruments.

This study explores the integration of traditional Chinese "Fu" culture into the moral education system for students with disabilities across K-12 and higher education through artificial intelligence. By leveraging soft computing to handle cultural ambiguities, it constructs an adaptive educational framework that aligns students' cognitive characteristics with curriculum demands, thereby enhancing their identification with Chinese culture. Guided by the theory of the "Second Combination," the research employs AI-powered soft computing to analyze the semantic and cognitive dimensions of "Fu" culture.

Early identification of students at risk for academic challenges in a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) program may allow for timely intervention and support. Little is known about the ability of the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) to predict academic success in first-year courses in a DPT program. Participants were 33 first-year DPT students from a single cohort.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to empirically identify subgroups of dual cigarette and ENDS product users based on their motivations for ENDS use.
Methods: Data came from n=713 adult dual cigarette/ENDS users in the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health Wave 6 public use data file. We used latent class analysis to identify qualitatively different subgroups within the sample and applied logistic regression to assess correlates of latent class membership.

While the hyper- and hypo- reward or punishment sensitivities (RS, PS) have received considerable attention as prominent transdiagnostic features of psychopathology, the lack of an overarching neurobiological characterization currently limits their early identification and neuromodulation. Here we combined microarray data from the Allen Human Brain Atlas with a multimodal fMRI approach to uncover the neurobiological signatures of RS and PS in a discovery-replication design (N=655 healthy participants, 442 Females). Both RS and PS were mapped separately in the brain, with the functional connectome in the fronto-striatal network encoding reward responsiveness, while the fronto-insular system was particularly engaged in punishment sensitivity.
