College students' learning stress, psychological resilience and learning burnout: status quo and coping strategies.

BACKGROUND: The relationships of college students' learning stress, psychological resilience and learning burnout remain unclear. We aimed to investigate the status quo and relationship of college students' learning stress, psychological resilience and learning burnout, to provide insights to the management and nursing care of college students. METHODS: From September 1 to October 31, 2022, students in our college were selected by stratified cluster sampling and underwent survey with the learning stress scale, college students' learning burnout scale and the psychological resilience scale of college students. RESULTS: A total of 1680 college students were surveyed in this study. The score of learning burnout was positively correlated with the score of learning stress (r = 0.69), and negatively correlated with the score of psychological resilience (r = 0.59), and the score of learning stress was negatively correlated with the score of psychological resilience (r = 0.61). Learning pressure was correlated with the age(r=-0.60) and monthly family income(r=-0.56), the burnout was correlated with the monthly family income(r=-0.61), and psychological resilience was correlated with the age(r = 0.66) (all P < 0.05). Psychological resilience played an intermediary role in the prediction of learning burnout by learning stress, with an total intermediary role of-0.48, accounting for 75.94% of the total effect. CONCLUSIONS: Psychological resilience is the mediating variable of the influence of learning stress on learning burnout. College managers should take various effective measures to improve college students' psychological resilience to reduce college students' learning burnout.

[Study of genetic polymorphisms of 7 Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphism loci among Mongolians from Inner Mongolia Region].

OBJECTIVE: To study the genetic polymorphisms of 7 Y chromosome single nucleotide polymorphisms (Y-SNPs) among unrelated Mongolian males from Inner Mongolia Region. METHODS: Seven Y-SNPs with expected allelic frequencies close to 0.50:0.50 in Mongolian population were selected from databases including HapMap and relevant literature. The Y-SNPs were then analyzed among 95 unrelated male Mongolian DNA samples with ligase detection reaction (LDR) technique. Statistical analysis was carried out with Arlequin 3.5. RESULTS: All of the 7 Y-SNPs had 2 alleles. Seven haplotypes were identified among the 95 samples, with the haplotype diversity (HD) being 0.7990. Except for rs17316007, whose allelic frequencies was 0.832:0.168, each of the remaining Y-SNPs had a allelic frequency close to 0.50:0.50. The gene diversity (GD) for rs17316007 was 0.2825, while those of the remaining Y-SNPs were all greater than 0.4375. CONCLUSION: Except for rs17316007, the other 6 Y-SNPs showed good diversity and genetic polymorphism, and may be used for individual identification and paternity testing for the Inner Mongolia region.

Extreme genetic heterogeneity among the nine major tribal Taiwanese island populations detected with a new generation Y23 STR system.

The Taiwanese aborigines have been regarded as the source populations for the Austronesian expansion that populated Oceania to the east and Madagascar off Africa to the West. Although a number of genetic studies have been performed on some of these important tribes, the scope of the investigations has been limited, varying in the specific populations examined as well as the maker systems employed. This has made direct comparison among studies difficult. In an attempt to alleviate this lacuna, we investigate, for the first time, the genetic diversity of all nine major Taiwanese aboriginal tribes (Ami, Atayal, Bunun, Rukai, Paiwan, Saisat, Puyuma, Tsou and Yami) utilizing a new generation multiplex Y-STR system that allows for the genotyping of 23 loci from a single amplification reaction. This comprehensive approach examining 293 individuals from all nine main tribes with the same battery of forensic markers provides for the much-needed equivalent data essential for comparative analyses. Our results have uncovered that these nine major aboriginal populations exhibit limited intrapopulation genetic diversity and are highly heterogeneous from each other, possibly the result of endogamy, isolation, drift and/or unique ancestral populations. Specifically, genetic diversity, discrimination capacity, fraction of unique haplotypes and the most frequent haplotypes differ among the nine tribes, with the Tsou possessing the lowest values for the first three of these parameters. The phylogenetic analyses performed indicate that the genetic diversity among all nine tribes is greater than the diversity observed among the worldwide reference populations examined, indicating an extreme case of genetic heterogeneity among these tribes that have lived as close neighbors for thousands of years confined to the limited geographical area of an island.

Taiwanese aborigines: genetic heterogeneity and paternal contribution to Oceania.

In the present study, for the first time, 293 Taiwanese aboriginal males from all nine major tribes (Ami, Atayal, Bunun, Rukai, Paiwan, Saisat, Puyuma, Tsou, Yami) were genotyped with 17 YSTR loci in a attend to reveal migrational patterns connected with the Austronesian expansion. We investigate the paternal genetic relationships of these Taiwanese aborigines to 42 Asia-Pacific reference populations, geographically selected to reflect various locations within the Austronesian domain. The Tsou and Puyuma tribes exhibit the lowest (0.1851) and the highest (0.5453) average total genetic diversity, respectively. Further, the fraction of unique haplotypes is also relatively high in the Puyuma (86.7%) and low in Tsou (33.3%) suggesting different demographic histories. Multidimensional scaling (MDS) and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed several notable findings: 1) the Taiwan indigenous populations are highly diverse. In fact, the level of inter-population heterogeneity displayed by the Taiwanese aboriginal populations is close to that exhibited among all 51 Asia-Pacific populations examined; 2) the asymmetrical contribution of the Taiwanese aborigines to the Oceanic groups. Ami, Bunun and Saisiyat tribes exhibit the strongest paternal links to the Solomon and Polynesian island communities, whereas most of the remaining Taiwanese aboriginal groups are more genetically distant to these Oceanic inhabitants; 3) the present YSTR analyses does not reveal a strong paternal affinity of the nine Taiwanese tribes to their continental Asian neighbors. Overall, our current findings suggest that, perhaps, only a few of the tribes were involved in the migration out of Taiwan.
