Article Abstract
Background: Compassion is a key concept in positive psychology. The value of compassion in hospital settings is evident. Three flows were used to gauge compassion. Nursing students have received less attention than other healthcare professionals regarding the various compassion-related scales available.
Purpose: This study aimed to adapt and validate a Mandarin Chinese edition of the Compassionate Engagement and Action Scales (CEAS) specifically for nursing students and to assess its psychometric characteristics.
Methods: The Hong Kong and original versions of the CEAS were combined to create the Chinese Mandarin version, which was then translated and culturally adjusted using a standard process. A non-probability sampling technique, specifically convenience sampling, was employed to recruit 428 nursing students to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement instrument from February to June 2024. Convergent, structural, and content validity were evaluated. Test-retest reliability and Cronbach's alpha coefficient were used to assess reliability.
Results: The Chinese Mandarin version of the CEAS comprises three distinct dimensions, demonstrating high internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha(McDonald's Omega) values of 0.925(0.922), 0.938(0.936), and 0.932(0.930) for self-compassion, compassion towards others, and received compassion, respectively. The retest reliability was 0.992, 0.810, and 0.845 for these dimensions. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a well-fitting model, revealing satisfactory indices for self-compassion (χ/df = 3.441, CFI = 0.980, GFI = 0.973, TLI = 0.968, IFI = 0.980, RMSEA = 0.076), compassion for others (χ/df = 4.800, CFI = 0.971, GFI = 0.964, TLI = 0.956, IFI = 0.971, RMSEA = 0.084), and compassion from others (χ/df = 4.913, CFI = 0.966, GFI = 0.958, TLI = 0.950, IFI = 0.966, RMSEA = 0.086).
Conclusion: The reliability and validity indicators of the CEAS' Chinese Mandarin version meet the standards, making it a trustworthy tool for measuring nursing students' compassionate engagement and action.

Introduction: Due to its tonal and syllabic structures, Chinese speakers may encounter unique difficulties when learning native Western operatic techniques. These challenges are particularly evident in balancing pitch control, subglottic pressure, and vowel production. The present study examines how native language influences vocal performance, using the Italian art song Caro mio ben as a test piece for singers from different language backgrounds.

There is emerging evidence that a performer's body movements may enhance music-induced pleasure. However, the neural mechanism underlying such modulation remains largely unexplored. This study utilized behavioral, psychophysiological and electroencephalographic data collected from 32 listeners (analyzed sample = 31) as they watched and listened to vocal (Mandarin lyrics) and violin performances of pop music videos.

Objectives: This study investigated the aerodynamic characteristics underlying the production of Mandarin lexical tones by analyzing six parameters: maximal sound pressure level (MSPL), mean peak air pressure (MPAP), mean peak expiratory airflow (MPEA), mean aerodynamic resistance (MAR), mean aerodynamic power (MAP), and phonation duration (T).
Methods: Thirty healthy native Mandarin speakers (15 males, 15 females), aged 21-40, produced the syllable train /papapapapapapa/ using each of the four lexical tones. Air pressure and airflow signals were recorded using a pneumotachograph mask and intraoral pressure tubing.
