Association between adverse childhood experiences and masculinity with well-being: moderating role of behavioural emotional regulation among men of three nations

Abstract The psychosocial aspects of men’s health and well-being have gained attention in the literature in recent years. However, evidence from developing countries is limited. Therefore, the present study attempted to understand the determining role of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and masculinity on well-being factors, namely self-care and self-compassion among men, along with the moderating role of behavioral emotional regulation (BER) between masculinity and self-care. We adopted a cross-sectional study design. The data were collected from three countries, which are patriarchal societies, namely Ethiopia, India, and Oman, with a total sample size of 823 men between 18 and 45 years. Self-reported measures of the key variables were administered among the participants. We performed descriptive statistical analyses and path analysis. The ACEs were positively associated with masculinity (b = 1.544; 99% CI = 1.227–1.853), while it reduced the likelihood of self-compassion. Further, the increase in masculinity increased self-care (b = 0.195; 99% CI = 0.097- 0.295). However, the use of negative BER strategies reduced the likelihood of involvement in self-care (b=-1.185; 95% CI= -2.280- − 0.125) and changed the direction between masculinity and self-care (b=-0.644; 95% CI = − 0.988- − 0.279) acting as a moderator (b = 0.027; 95% CI = 0.003–0.051). The results suggest the importance of BER in effectively promoting self-care among men. Future self-care programs and interventions in the three nations should consider training men in BER. BER-focused interventions can facilitate positive coping among men and further enhance self-care and self-compassion.

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile-polyphenyl/magnetite nanofiber electrode for enhanced capacitance of supercapacitor

Abstract Supercapacitors are widely valued for their high cycle life, power density, and broad applications. However, the development of improved devicess hindered by the challenges related to electrode materials. Effective electrodes need high specific capacitance and low electrical resistance to enhance energy storage, while also being simple to prepare, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly to support sustainable development. This study utilized an affordable and straightforward electrospinning process to produce polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers, polyacrylonitrile-polyphenyl (PAN-PPh) nanofibers, and polyacrylonitrile-polyphenyl/magnetic iron oxide (PAN-PPh/Fe3O4) composite nanofibers for supercapacitor electrodes. Among these, the PAN-PPh/Fe3O4 electrode exhibited superior performance, with a specific capacity of 0.258 Ah g− 1, and specific capacitance of 442.4 F g− 1 and excellent cycling stability, retaining approximately 78.49% of its capacitance after 3000 cycles. These results highlight the potential of PAN-PPh/Fe3O4 composites as sustainable materials for supercapacitor electrodes.

Direct torque control for a six phase induction motor using a fuzzy based and sliding mode controller

Abstract Direct Torque Control (DTC) is widely recognized for its fast dynamic response and simplicity in controlling induction motors. However, conventional DTC suffers from drawbacks such as high torque and flux ripple, sensitivity to parameter variations, and poor performance under low-speed operation. This study proposes an enhanced DTC strategy for a modified six-phase induction motor (MSPIM) by integrating Fuzzy-Based Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FPID) control compared with conventional PID and Sliding Mode Control (SMC). The FPID, PID, and SMC controller are employed to regulate speed and flux, leveraging its adaptability and robustness to system uncertainties. The six-phase induction motor, with its inherent fault-tolerant capabilities and reduced torque pulsations, serves as an ideal candidate for high-performance applications. Results obtained using MATLAB Simulink show that the proposed control strategy significantly reduces torque and flux ripple, improves dynamic response, and enhances robustness against speed and load changing. This work highlights the potential of combining intelligent control techniques like FPID, PID and SMC to advance the performance of DTC in multi-phase induction motor drives, particularly in applications requiring high reliability and efficiency. Based on simulation results, the fuzzy PID inverter reduces the speed error and THD of the current and voltage waveforms, thereby improving MSPIM’s overall performance when compared to the regular PID and SMC.
