Crisis overcome?—Affective and instrumental changes of group related attitudes by Petia Genkova, Petia Genkova, Henrik Schreiber

“…It focuses on two distinct outcomes: the withdrawal of solidarity toward people with a migration background, and pro-diversity beliefs reflecting positive evaluations of cultural heterogeneity, examining how value orientations, emotional responses, and motivational factors may be linked to these attitudes.MethodData were collected from N = 130 participants without immigration background during the first lockdown period in spring 2020. Structural path analyses were used to examine associations among key variables.ResultsSocial dominance orientation showed statistical associations with intergroup threat and fear, which in turn were linked to reported withdrawal of solidarity. …”

Research on fault diagnosis of EMU traction inverter based on motor vibration by SHI Yixuan, MAO Qingzhou, DAI Huanyun, WANG Qunsheng, SHI Xiangyu

“…Taking the traction transmission system of CRH2 EMU as an example, a simulation model of a three-level traction inverter circuit based on space vector pulse width modulation strategy was established to simulate the structural fault modes of the inverter. The simulation results indicate that inverter faults significantly affect the harmonic content of the output current on the AC side, especially the 5th, 7th, 11th, and 13th harmonic currents. …”
