The objective of this research is to assess tourists' subjective and psychological well-being during and after their trips through a multiwave design. Drawing on self-determination theory (SDT) and attention restoration theory (ART), an integrated theoretical framework was proposed to examine the relationships among perceived attention restoration, social sharing satisfaction, psychological needs satisfaction, subjective well-being, and psychological well-being in the during-trip and post-trip encounters. This research contributes to the literature by offering new insights into the concept of social sharing satisfaction. It further enriches SDT and ART by synthesizing these two theoretical strands to enhance understanding of the linkage among attention restoration, social sharing / psychological needs satisfaction, and well-being at different travel stages. It also offers an alternative view on the dissipating effect of well-being after a trip by identifying the divergent effect of tourism on the change in subjective well-being and psychological well-being. • Assesses tourists' subjective and psychological well-being during and after a trip. • Offers new insights to the concept of social sharing satisfaction. • Attention restoration has short-lived effect on individuals' well-being. • Gratified experience reaped from vacationing has a lasting effect.

Music is acknowledged as an excellent means of evoking favorable behaviors and brand image, and this research puts auditory sensory input at center stage. By drawing on sensory marketing and cognitive balance theories, it proposes a model leading from music perception to destination image through the mediation of historical nostalgia, mental imagery, and music-induced emotion. The boundary conditions of self–brand congruence and fantasy proneness are examined. Survey results point to the importance of musical sensory inputs in the mental imagery creation of a place, and it is conditioned based upon different levels of self–brand congruence and fantasy personality traits. Moreover, this research enriches the literature on music-related tourism appeal and destination image development. It also informs destination operators to better capitalize on music to provide an effective tool for enhancing destination image. • This research examines how folk music may shape tourists' place image. • Folk music can be used as a sensory input to impact destination image creation. • Historical nostalgia, mental imagery, and music-induced emotion are mediators. • The boundary conditions of self–brand congruence and fantasy proneness are evident.

Background: Yinzhihuang granule, consisting of extracts of Artemisia capillaris Thunb., Gardenia jasminoides Ellis, Lonicera japonica Thunb., and Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi is a well-known traditional Chinese patent medicine for patients with liver injury in China. However, the effects and safety of its use for pathologic jaundice in newborns require further systematic evaluation.Purpose: To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Yinzhihuang granules for the treatment of neonatal pathologic jaundice and to provide clinical evidence.Methods: Chinese databases (China Network Knowledge Infrastructure, Wan Fang Database, and VIP Database) and English databases (PubMed, EmBase, and the Cochrane Library) were thoroughly investigated through screening randomized controlled trials on Yinzhihuang granules for neonatal pathologic jaundice from the establishment of all databases to November 18, 2021. A meta-analysis was performed for selected data using STATA software. TSA software was used for trial sequential analyses of the total effective rate and adverse reactions.Results: A total of 19 trials and 2,221 newborns with pathologic jaundice were included in this study. Outcome measures of clinical efficacy in the experimental group were higher than in controls, including total bilirubin (WMD = -30.34, 95% CI = -35.44 to -25.23, p < 0.001), direct bilirubin (WMD = -15.03, 95% CI = -23.54 to -6.52, p < 0.001), indirect bilirubin (WMD = -11.22, 95% CI = -17.50 to -4.95, p < 0.001), recovery time (WMD = -2.96, 95% CI = -3.92 to -2.00, p < 0.001), hospitalization time (WMD = -3.83, 95% CI = -4.89 to -2.76, p < 0.001), and liver function indices. There were statistically significant differences between the two groups. Likewise, the incidence of adverse reactions, including diarrhea, erythra, and fever decreased remarkably in the trial group (RR = 0.44, 95% CI =  0.33 to 0.59, p < 0.001). Publication bias did not exist. We verified the efficacy and safety of Yinzhihuang granules with phototherapy for pathologic jaundice in newborns according using TSA analysis.Conclusion: Yinzhihuang granules with phototherapy for neonatal pathologic jaundice are more effective than phototherapy alone. The incidence of ADRs does not increase with the application of Yinzhihuang granules. Due to the heterogeneity across the included studies, additional multicenter clinical trials with follow-ups are needed to confirm our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The increasing importance of museums has attracted scholars and industry practitioners to focus more on museum tourists. Visiting museums has become a means to meeting the generative needs of tourists. Therefore, this study investigated generativity, defined as guidance and care for the development of the next generation through self-expanding forms, and its impact on engagement, experience, and psychological well-being. Seventeen semi-structured interviews were conducted with tourists at the Macau regional art museums to verify and enrich the generativity measurement scale of museum tourists. Subsequently, structural equation modeling was performed on questionnaire data of 416 art museum tourists in Macau. The results revealed that generativity directly affects engagement, experience, and psychological well-being. Moreover, engagement directly affects experience and psychological well-being, and experience directly affects psychological well-being. Additionally, engagement and experience are mediating variables between generativity and psychological well-being. Theoretical contributions and practical implications are provided accordingly. • Verifies and enriches the generativity measurement scale of museum tourists. • Constructs and tests a model from generativity to psychological well-being. • Identifies the mediating role of engagement and experience. • Provides museum managers and operators with practical implications.

Predicting the effects of organic compounds on environments and biological systems is an important objective for environmental chemistry and human health. The logarithm (to base 10) of the n -octanoll–water partition coefficient has been widely used to predict the mentioned properties. However, the suitability of this parameter for the purpose has been questioned, since the environments relating to the properties may be quite different from that of bulk n -octanol. In this study, we used a theoretical derivation approach to develop a model for predicting the partition coefficients of solutes between water and an organic solvent that may be similar to n -octanol or quite different from it. Our model relies on solute descriptors that can be calculated based on solute structures. It was used to predict the n -octanoll–water, hexadecanel–water and chloroforml–water partition coefficients of solutes. The calculated values of the examined parameters agreed well with their experimental counterparts. The model can find application in the accurate prediction of the effects of organic compounds on environments and the physicochemical properties of organic compounds by a full in-silico approach and can provide useful guidance for improving some properties of organic compounds.
