Summary: The study found that there are differences in online behaviors of users between managed and unmanaged online depression-focused communities. Supporters expressing positive emotions provide more social support and longer engagement time, while those expressing negative emotions are more willing to serve in the community. Additionally, ordinary members are more active in unmanaged communities, with those expressing positive emotions being more active in managed communities.

Summary: This study investigated the fatigue and professional identity among CDC workers in China during the pandemic. The results showed that the average fatigue score was high, while the professional identity score was also high. Factors such as perceived public respect, resilience, and self-efficacy were negatively associated with fatigue, while educational background, workplace, frontline work, and occupational stress were positively correlated with fatigue. On the other hand, educational background, workplace, frontline work, and occupational stress were negatively associated with professional identity, while factors such as postcompetency, perceived public respect, resilience, and self-efficacy were positively connected with professional identity. To alleviate fatigue and maintain professional identity, measures should be taken to attenuate occupational stress, improve resilience, and enhance self-efficacy.

Summary: This study suggests that observers of online supportive interactions can be influenced by the support provider's message to the support seeker based on their shared gender. The persuasive effect of observing supportive interactions is stronger for females, especially when they share the same gender with the support seeker and when the observed interactants have no profile photos.

Summary: This study investigated the psychological impact of COVID-19 on ICU healthcare workers in China, finding that 65.9% of ICU healthcare workers reported depressive symptoms and 58.7% reported anxiety. Risk factors for developing depressive and anxiety symptoms included being female, having worked in the ICU for more than 5 years, and having a high number of night shifts. Income reduction was identified as a risk factor for anxiety. Measures should be taken to address mental health issues among ICU healthcare workers, especially those who have worked in the ICU for a long time.

Summary: This study conducted a pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the appropriateness and feasibility of a remote midwife-led cognitive behavioral therapy program for pregnant women at risk for anxiety disorders. The results showed a decrease in anxiety among primiparous women in the intervention group, and suggested that additional postpartum sessions may be effective. However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Kessler6 (K6) scores.

Summary: The Internet of Things offers various ways to enhance our experience by utilizing smart cyber-physical infrastructure systems. Additionally, the introduction of LED lighting systems enables a cost-effective improvement in user visual comfort. In our proposed model, a fuzzy inference system is employed in the cyber-physical infrastructure system to save energy from heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, which is then utilized to enhance user visual comfort. Simulation results indicate that considering a visual comfort standard of 500 lux instead of 250 lux result in energy savings while ensuring visual comfort. Combined with the preservation of thermal comfort, overall user comfort is increased. Research also shows that improved user comfort leads to up to a 14% increase in productivity. Our unique model indirectly enhances user productivity by employing fuzzy logic, without incurring any additional costs.
