Aim: To examine how the effects of hardiness, self-efficacy and positive academic emotion related to the SRL ability of undergraduate nursing students. Design:A cross-sectional survey was designed. Methods: A total of 395 Chinese undergraduate nursing students from two undergraduate colleges filled out the questionnaires from May to June 2019. The relationships between hardiness, self-efficacy, positive academic emotion and SRL ability were analysed by structural equation modelling. Results:The response rate was 94.05%. SRL ability was significantly positive correlated with hardiness, self-efficacy and positive academic emotion in undergraduate nursing students. Self-efficacy (β = 0.417, p < 0.001) and positive academic emotion (β = 0.232, p < 0.001) showed a direct effect on the SRL ability. Although hardiness showed no direct effect on the SRL ability, it affected SRL ability through three indirect ways: self-efficacy (77.778%), positive academic emotion (14.184%) and the chain mediating effect from self-efficacy to positive academic emotion (8.038%).Conclusions: Nursing students with a higher level of hardiness would have higher self-efficacy, and more positive and stable academic emotions to obtain the better SRL ability. The produced model provides insights into several factors associated with SRL ability of nursing students. Hardiness, self-efficacy and positive academic emotion should be emphasized in the education of nursing students because these factors could improve their SRL ability and promote their life-long learning.
Precursor Plasma Spraying (PPS) using Radio Frequency (RF) induction plasma spray is a new process used to synthesize functional materials. RF plasma spray has the advantages of stability, cleanness, high temperature and high chemical reactivity. In this paper, a two-dimensional numerical model has been developed to investigate the induction electromagnetic (EM) field and the thermo-fluid field in a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma (RF-ICP). In flight particle interaction with the plasma jet will be investigated. The traditional micron-size powder particles, e.g. zirconia (PSZ), are injected with carrier gas such as argon. During their interaction with the RF plasma, the powder particles experience acceleration, heating, melting and evaporation and particle heat transfer is considered coupled with the thermo-fluid flow of the RF plasma. A generalized particle model is developed and applied to the precursor plasma spray process operated in a vacuum chamber. The effects of power input, standoff distance and powder size on the RF plasma and particle in flight characteristics are investigated.
