“…Additionally, as children grow up, they progressively encounter intensified academic demands and interpersonal rivalries [ 89 ]. Compared to students in other nations, students in some Asian countries devote much time to their educational pursuits and frequently experience severe psychological strain due to excessive after-school programs [ 90 ]. The prevailing adherence to Confucianism in China is pervasive, leading to the adoption of examination-based talent selection methods [ 91 ].…”

In today’s digital world, children are exposed extensively to electronic media, making it an integral part of their daily lives. However, excessive use of electronic media during childhood has been associated with various internalizing problems. Moreover, parent–child conflict and children’s age may be closely associated with children’s problem behaviors. The current study employed a cross-sectional design and conducted a questionnaire survey of 711 parents to examine the association between children’s electronic media use and their internalizing problems. Furthermore, this study probed the mediating role of parent–child conflict within this association and the moderating effect of children’s age. The results of structural equation modeling showed a positive correlation between children’s use of electronic media and their internalizing difficulties. Parent–child conflict served as a mediating factor in this association. Results also showed that the association between parent–child conflict and internalizing problems becomes more pronounced as children grow older. These findings imply that parents should encourage their children to develop healthy habits in using electronic media while fostering positive relationships. Parents should also be mindful of the psychological changes as children age and provide guidance to help them become proficient digital citizens.

“…If the multipair Kruskal–Wallis test suggested the existence of significant weekly variations, we conducted multiple pairwise Kruskal–Wallis tests with a Bonferroni correction to compare week 7 scores to other weeks. Eta ( η 2 )-squared was computed to estimate the magnitude of significant results [ 41 , 42 ].…”

The global Covid-19 pandemic has forced countries to impose strict lockdown restrictions and mandatory stay-at-home orders with varying impacts on individual’s health. Combining a data-driven machine learning paradigm and a statistical approach, our previous paper documented a U-shaped pattern in levels of self-perceived loneliness in both the UK and Greek populations during the first lockdown (17 April to 17 July 2020). The current paper aimed to test the robustness of these results by focusing on data from the first and second lockdown waves in the UK. We tested a) the impact of the chosen model on the identification of the most time-sensitive variable in the period spent in lockdown. Two new machine learning models – namely, support vector regressor (SVR) and multiple linear regressor (MLR) were adopted to identify the most time-sensitive variable in the UK dataset from Wave 1 (n = 435). In the second part of the study, we tested b) whether the pattern of self-perceived loneliness found in the first UK national lockdown was generalisable to the second wave of the UK lockdown (17 October 2020 to 31 January 2021). To do so, data from Wave 2 of the UK lockdown (n = 263) was used to conduct a graphical inspection of the week-by-week distribution of self-perceived loneliness scores. In both SVR and MLR models, depressive symptoms resulted to be the most time-sensitive variable during the lockdown period. Statistical analysis of depressive symptoms by week of lockdown resulted in a U-shaped pattern between weeks 3 and 7 of Wave 1 of the UK national lockdown. Furthermore, although the sample size by week in Wave 2 was too small to have a meaningful statistical insight, a graphical U-shaped distribution between weeks 3 and 9 of lockdown was observed. Consistent with past studies, these preliminary results suggest that self-perceived loneliness and depressive symptoms may be two of the most relevant symptoms to address when imposing lockdown restrictions.

“…This approach holds the potential to effectively enhance the attractiveness, engagement, and relevance of the brochure to the targeted audience. The adolescent demographic may provide insight on the stylistic (Muthmainnah et al, 2021), linguistic, and substantive aspects (Sarintohe et al, 2022) of the brochure, resulting in a customized resource that suits their specific requirements (Carollo et al, 2022).…”

The increasing incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DMT2) among Indonesian adolescents has prompted the consideration of early detection and management in school-age individuals. One contributing factor is the spatial shift phenomenon, where rural and urban areas in Indonesia are becoming more connected, leading to a uniform market for food and beverage options that pose a higher risk of developing diabetes. This study examines three key aspects of Indonesia's ethnically diverse youth population: their lifestyle, use of information technology, and dietary choices. These factors significantly impact their likelihood of consuming foods and beverages that are harmful for individuals with diabetes. The study, conducted using a library-centric research approach, reveals that Indonesian youths' daily routines blend traditional and modern cultural practices which profoundly influenced by technological advancements, social media prevalence, and globalization. Interestingly, the findings highlight that no communication campaigns have been launched to address diabetes prevention among Indonesian adolescents from a multicultural perspective. The research also found that it is crucial for DMT2 prevention initiatives to develop effective strategies that can penetrate the subconscious mindset of individuals living in urban and rural areas while considering Indonesia's diverse cultural context. Efforts should be made to raise awareness and provide guidance tailored to different cultural backgrounds to combat the rising problem of diabetes among Indonesian youth.
