Accounting for dependencies among performance shaping factors in SPAR-H using a regularized autoencoder and WINGS-AISM by Xin Liu, Shengyuan Yan, Xiaodan Zhang

“…The proposed method comprises three primary aspects: 1) a regularized autoencoder for the denoising and feature extraction of expert evaluation results, 2) the weighted influence non-linear gauge system-based adversarial interpretive structure modeling (WINGS-AISM) method to analyze the relationships among the PSFs and construct their causal hierarchy, and 3) a new relative weighting system to modify the PSF multipliers based on this hierarchy. …”

Relationships of emotion regulation to procrastination, life satisfaction and resilience to discomfort by Manuel González, Anna Rovella, Andrea Barrera, Mario González

“…Conclusions: It is concluded that of the sociodemographic variables only age is relevant to procrastination, given that people younger than 21 years score higher on this construct. Procrastination is positively related to the six dimensions of difficulties in emotion regulation, where it is predicted by lack of goals and lack of clarity, however, satisfaction with life and resistance to discomfort by less lack of strategies.…”

Unpacking multidimensional effects of economic restructuring and technological progress on carbon emission performance: the moderating role of environmental regulation by Jin Yin, Saifuzzaman Ibrahim, Naseem Niaz Ahmad Mohd, Cheng Zhong, Xiaoming Mao

“…However, existing studies often lack an integrated analysis of economic restructuring and technological progress, while giving limited attention to the indirect role of Environmental Regulation (ER). This study constructs a multidimensional theoretical framework, breaking down economic restructuring into four dimensions—industrial structure, factor input, ownership, and new-type urbanization (NTU), and refining technological progress into technological innovation and energy efficiency. …”

Amplifying and Reversing the Chiral Bias in Asymmetric Photo‐Polymerization Reaction by Dingdong Liu, Xiangxiang Xu, Zeyu Feng, Chutian Zhang, Jialei Li, Yifan Xie, Jingguo Li, Hongli Zhang, Gang Zou

“…Here, an asymmetric photo‐polymerization system is presented where the chiral bias can be selectively regulated by the combination of chiral fields CPL and Ag nanoparticles, either constructively or destructively. Synergistic chiral amplification effect is observed when the handedness of both are matched, while the opposite‐handed CPL can overrule the polymer helicity during the chain propagation process when the chiral near‐field is weak. …”
