Identification of Psychological Crisis Signals of College Students Based on the Dufferin Equation by Jianping Zhao, Haitao Song

“…The early warning index system of college students’ psychological crisis was established and tested on 300 junior college students, and the early warning system of college students’ psychological crisis was established by using structural equation model, focusing on the mediating effect of coping mode between stress source and stress response and the mediating effect of stress source between social support and stress response. At the same time, the characteristics of psychological crises among college students of different genders and grades were compared and analyzed. …”

F. NIETZSCHE’S POŽIŪRIS Į TIESĄ: MIRTINAS ĮKANDIMAS? by Aivaras Stepukonis

“…In Nietzsche’s thought, there may be observed a threefold turning away from the traditionally affirmative conception of truth: (1) the reduction of thinking and knowing to the physiological processes of the body and its changing corporeal states; (2) the exposure of many time-honored truths as mere superstitions expedient to factual human communities in dealing with reality in a practical, yet oversimplified and distorted manner; (3) the devaluation and/or disvaluation of truth as something useless or even detrimental to life. …”

Case Study of the Characteristics and Mechanism of Rock Burst near Fault in Yima Coalfield, China by Zhenhua Jiao, Qiupeng Yuan, Peng Zou, Benjun Shi

“…Based on the engineering background of deep mining near fault in Yima coalfield, by collecting the rock burst events that happened near fault during deep mining, the correlation between fault structure and time-space features of rock burst was analyzed. The results show that the deep rock burst accounts for 84% in Yima coalfield at 600 m and 93% in the mining area within 1000 m from F16 fault. …”

Causes of global extinctions in the history of life: facts and hypotheses by T. M. Khlebodarova, V. A. Likhoshvai

“…Paleontologists define global extinctions on Earth as a loss of about three-quarters of plant and animal species over a relatively short period of time. At least five global extinctions are documented in the Phanerozoic fossil record (~500-million-year period): ~65, 200, 260, 380, and 440 million years ago. …”

Club Characteristic and the Proximity Effect of Travel Links between Cities in China by Mingxing Chen, Xinyue Luo, Maogui Hu, Xiaoping Zhang

“…Fourthly, the external connection mode of high-level cities is to establish close contact with high-level cities adjacent to the level, with strong attraction to low-level cities adjacent to the location at the same time. The low-level cities are closely related to the high-level cities adjacent to the location and other cities of geographical proximity or adjacent level. …”

Simulation Parameter Test and Seepage Effect Analysis of Pile-Anchor Support for Binary Slope by Xuhe Gao, Weiping Tian, Zhipei Zhang, Jiachun Li, Hongliang Qi

“…The analysis shows the following. ① Initial support stage: the steady-state seepage causes the axial force extreme value of the prestressed anchor cable to increase by 11.22% at this stage. ② Secondary support stage: the steady-state seepage reduces the shear limit of the antislide pile by 3.11% and the bending moment by 14.90%. ③ Comparative analysis of the two supporting phases: the newly constructed pile-anchor supporting structure has a significant effect on the original pile-anchor supporting structure. At the same time, the bending and shearing resistance of the newly added antislide piles has not been fully exerted. …”
