To share or not to share? Image data sharing in the social sciences and humanities by Elina Late, Mette Skov, Sanna Kumpulainen

“…While data sharing is encouraged as a part of the open science movement, little is known about the approaches and factors influencing the sharing of image data. This information is evident as the use of image data in these fields of research is increasing, and data sharing is context dependent. …”

Nonlinear Dynamic Constitutive Model of Frozen Sandstone Based on Weibull Distribution by Lei Wang, Hongming Su, Shiguan Chen, Yue Qin

“…The peak stress was most sensitive to the strain rate at −10°C, and the elastic modulus was most sensitive to the strain rate at −30°C. According to the evident segmentation characteristics of the obtained stress-strain curve, a viscoelastic dynamic constitutive model considering the strain rate effect and temperature effect is developed; this model combines a nonlinear (or linear) body and a Maxwell body in parallel with a damage body. …”

The influence of parental burnout on middle school students’ academic achievement: moderated mediation effect by Lingyi Peng, Lingyi Peng, Huohong Chen, Jinhai Peng, Wei Liang, Wei Liang, Mengfang Li, Weifeng Fu

“…IntroductionThis study investigates the influence of parental burnout on the academic achievement of middle school students, as well as the mediating role of academic self-efficacy and the moderating role of middle school students’ gender and parental gender.MethodsUtilizing a parent-child matched-pair design, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 738 middle school students and their parents (either fathers or mothers).ResultsThe findings revealed that: (1) parental burnout significantly and negatively predicted middle school students’ academic achievement; (2) academic self-efficacy partially mediated the relationship between parental burnout and middle school students’ academic achievement; and (3) the gender of middle school students moderated the initial segment of this mediating effect, while parental gender did not significantly moderate the relationship, indicating that the significant negative predictive effect of parental burnout on academic self-efficacy was evident only among female middle students.DiscussionThese results not only enhance our understanding of the mechanisms and conditions under which parental burnout impacts middle school students’ academic achievement, but also have important implications for improving middle school students’ academic self-efficacy and overall academic performance.…”

The goal-over-source asymmetry in Thai and Korean by Kultida Khammee, Seongha Rhee

“…The multiplicity of forms is also due to frequent innovation of new forms, especially goal markers, in an effort to enhance expressivity and to entertain the desire for creativity. This is evident in the fact that the forms being innovated tend to carry more lexical content than older, fully grammaticalized forms, and thus carry more expressive potential. …”
