Exploring the Impact of Short Videos on Adolescents: The Case of Video Game Promotion

In the digital era, the development of media in the adolescent population is an academic issue that is seriously taking into account. Depending on the type of media that one accesses, short videos nowadays have a key role in their lives, and a number of them cannot afford to do without them. The use of electronic games has not diminished as a recreational activity among youths. The main focus of this project is on the impact of media sources, especially on the behavior of adolescents, because this is crucial for competent personnel and their well-being. The article aims to interrogate the multiple ways the short videos operate, particularly among adolescents, using electronic games as a significant case. The examination of the consequences of the new media in the area of cognition, emotion, and behavior will be the key purpose of this work. It aims to look at the current problems and suggest how they can be solved to help teenagers grow up healthy and successful.

The Influence of Nutritional Anemia Education Media on the Knowledge Level of Adolescents in Anemia Prevention Literature Review

Background: The increasing need for nutrients during adolescence due to growth and menstruation experienced by young women causes young women to be susceptible to anaemia. Anaemia is a condition where the haemoglobin level in the blood is less than the normal value. One of the factors causing anaemia is the lack of knowledge among teenagers about anaemia. Many types of media, both visual and audiovisual, can be used to convey education about anaemia. Purpose: To determine the effectiveness of nutrition education media in increasing teenagers' knowledge of preventing anaemia. Methods: This research uses a literature review design. A literature review study is a method used to collect data or sources related to a particular topic, which can be obtained from various sources such as research articles. Results: From the reviewed articles, five showed an increase in teenagers' average knowledge score after being educated using visual media. There is 1 article that shows an increase in teenagers' average knowledge score after being educated using audiovisual media. Three articles showed an increase in teenagers' average knowledge score after being educated using visual and audiovisual media. Conclusion: Visual and audiovisual media are effective when used together to help increase teenagers' nutrition knowledge and provide nutritional education about anaemia. When delivering nutritional education about anaemia to teenagers, using visual and audiovisual media simultaneously is recommended to get effective results.

Preservation Preferences for Books and Websites as Cultural Heritage: A Conjoint Analysis

This study empirically examines factors influencing public preferences for document preservation, focusing on books and websites in a nation’s cultural heritage. Using a choice-based experimental design, respondents selected preferences, revealing that while books are generally valued for preservation, doubts about content reliability or frequency of use may diminish their cultural heritage significance. Conversely, websites gain preservation worthiness through third-party checks or frequent use. Media type alone does not determine preservation preference. The results highlight challenges in determining legal deposit eligibility based solely on media type, emphasizing the need for a nuanced approach to safeguarding cultural heritage.

Vaccine Hesitancy and COVID-19 Risk Behaviors Associated with Social Media Use in Japan

ABSTRACT We examined the associations between the use of different types of media and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, as well as risk behaviors of COVID-19 infection, in Japan in late 2021. Cross-sectional surveys were conducted using rapid online surveys of residents in Iwate Prefecture from February 5 to 7, 2021, and from October 1 to 3, 2021. Each individual’s risk of acquiring SARS-CoV-2 infection was calculated using a quantitative assessment tool (the microCOVID). Intention to get vaccinated for COVID-19 was assessed by self-report. Usage of five types of media for obtaining COVID-related information was assessed: (1) newspapers, (2) television or radio, (3) internet or news apps, (4) social network services (SNS) (excluding LINE, a popular messaging app), and (5) other. Reliance on SNS did not show significant associations with either intention to get vaccinated or engaging in risky behavior for acquiring COVID-19. Although users of the internet or news apps were marginally significantly less likely to engage in high-risk behavior, significant associations between vaccine hesitancy and the usage of the internet or news apps were found in the middle age and elderly groups (OR [95% confidence interval (CI)] in middle age: 1.55 [1.07–2.23]; in elderly; 9.24 [3.28–26.02]). The differential associations between different types of media use and COVID-19 prevention behaviors may assist in preparing for future pandemic outbreaks. One implication for public health risk communication is audience segmentation, such as emphasizing vaccine safety and effectiveness for older audiences.

Improving Patient Understanding and Outcomes in Lung Cancer Using an Animated Patient's Guide with Visual Formats of Learning.

Lung cancer patient education resources that address barriers to health literacy, improve understanding, and demonstrate improved patient outcomes are limited. Our study aim was to evaluate and report on learner knowledge improvement and intent to implement behavior change, and validate the benefits of the You and Lung Cancer website and YouTube resources. Our study occurred from November 2017 to December 2023. We evaluated audience reach (visit sessions, unique visitors, country origins, page views) and calculated top views by media type (animations, expert videos, patient videos). We assessed the impact and commitment to change through learner surveys (areas of interest, intention to modify behaviors, and intention to discuss disease management with providers) and tested the knowledge of learners pre- and post-reviewing of website content. Our program reached 794,203 views globally; 467,546 were unique visitors; and 243,124 (51%) were unique visitors from the USA. Of US visitors, 46% identified as lung cancer patients. These were patients in treatment (38%), survivors (8%), family members or caregivers (21%), and healthcare providers (14%) with other audiences unspecified (19%). Three areas of highest learner importance were the animations "Understanding Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer" (180,591), "Staging of Lung Cancer" (144,238), and "Treatment and Management of Small Cell Lung Cancer" (49,244). Our study confirmed areas of importance to lung cancer patients and suggests that visual formats of learning, such as animations, can mitigate health literacy barriers and help improve patient understanding and outcomes. Exporting this format of learning to other cancers has the potential to benefit patients and improve health outcomes.

Associations Between Characteristics of Adolescent and Young Adult Cancer Survivors and Their Use of Different Social Media Platforms: An Observational Study of Social Media Accounts.

Background: The growing number of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors and their unmet needs demand innovative communication and care strategies. This study uses social media data to examine how survivors' demographic and clinical characteristics relate to their social media use. Methods: Data from 300 AYA cancer survivors on six social media sites (YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Reddit, X/formerly Twitter) were collected between August 2022 and March 2023 and analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests (chi-square, Fisher's exact, Welch, Games-Howell post-hoc, logistic regression). Results: Significant differences were observed across platforms for mean current age (p < 0.001) and age at diagnosis (p < 0.001). We also found significant associations between social media type used and current age, age at diagnosis, years since diagnosis, and the timing of social media account creation. AYAs who created their social media account post-diagnosis were less likely to use YouTube (p = 0.003) and more likely to use Facebook (p = 0.009). Treatment completion was associated with increased use of platform X (p = 0.004). Non-White individuals in our sample were less likely to use Facebook (p = 0.008). Significant associations were found between observed sex and platform usage (p < 0.001), with males more likely to use Reddit (p < 0.001) and X (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Significant associations were found between demographic and clinical attributes of AYA cancer survivors and the type of social media they used, suggesting that AYA-specific social media-based interventions should be tailored to subgroup characteristics (e.g., social media type, developmental stage based on age at diagnosis and current age, sex).

The Influence of Social Media on the Eating Patterns of Students at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Sumatera Utara in 2023

&lt;div&gt;&lt;table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td align="left" valign="top"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Social media refers to platforms and applications that utilize internet-based technology. This type of media promotes and facilitates connections with others. Social media has an important role in the eating patterns of students at the Faculty of Public Health at the Universitas Sumatera Utara. If social media use is wrong, it will impact the quality of students' eating patterns, resulting in a wrong body mass index. This research aims to investigate how social media factors affect eating habits. The study will employ an explanatory survey method with a cross-sectional approach. This research was carried out in September 2023. The population in this research were all students of the Faculty of Public Health at the Universitas Sumatera Utara, with a total of 390 people and a sample of 80 people. The samples taken in this study were students at the Faculty of Public Health, Universitas Sumatera Utara, using the Slovin technique. Slovin's formula is a statistical method used to determine an appropriate sample size when conducting surveys or research. It helps to ensure that the sample accurately represents the population while minimizing the cost and effort involved in data collection. Data was collected using a questionnaire.

Emulsification in nearly Newtonian and non-Newtonian media of wormlike micelles

Emulsification experiments with four silicone oils, having viscosities ranging from 0.01 to 30 Pa.s, were conducted in two types of media: nearly Newtonian polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solutions and non-Newtonian mixtures induced by worm-like micelles in solutions of sodium laureth sulfate and cocoamidopropyl betaine (BS) with NaCl. The increased viscosity of BS solutions upon the addition of NaCl did not significantly affect the drop size in the formed emulsions. In contrast, the increased viscosity of solutions with higher PVA concentrations significantly reduced the drop sizes for all silicone oils. A theoretical expression predicting the maximum drop size in both types of media (nearly Newtonian and non-Newtonian) was derived and validated against experimental data. The expression accounts for shear-thinning behavior in both the aqueous and oil phases. Interfacial stress dominates the breakage of less viscous oils, while viscous stress inside the breaking drop plays a leading role for more viscous oils. The formation of emulsions with similar sizes in non-Newtonian solutions of BS with different NaCl concentrations was explained by their strongly shear-thinning behavior, which leads to nearly similar viscosity at high shear rates, despite their zero-shear viscosities differing by more than two orders of magnitude.

The Elephant(s) in the Newsroom: A Mixed Methods Study on the Use of News Agency Material

ABSTRACT News agencies remain one of the most important sources of journalistic reporting. It is all the more astonishing that, with a few exceptions, they still represent a major blind spot in journalism research. Using a mixed method approach of quantitative content analysis and qualitative interviews with practitioners from media outlets and news agencies, this study investigates how and how much online media outlets of different media types located in the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia use material from different news agencies. The study also examines the differences in subject areas and geographical reference areas and explores the rationale behind how and how much news agency material is used. The study confirms the very high and, partially, even increasing relevance of news agencies in media markets in the present and the foreseeable future. It also asks critical questions about the implications for journalism and democratic societies as a whole.

Using Digital Media to Improve Adolescent Resilience and Prevent Mental Health Problems: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Global databases show a high prevalence of mental health problems among adolescents (13.5% among those aged 10-14 years and 14.65% for those aged 15-19 years). Successful coping depends on risk and protective factors and how their interaction influences resilience. Higher resilience has been shown to correlate with fewer mental health problems. Digital mental health interventions may help address these problems. This protocol serves as a framework for planning a scoping review to map the types of digital communication media and their effectiveness in increasing resilience in youths. The Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines will be used: defining the research questions; identifying relevant studies; study selection (we will select articles based on titles and abstracts); charting the data; collating, summarizing, and reporting the results; and consultation. The synthesis will focus on the type of digital media used to increase adolescent resilience skills and the impact they have on adolescent resilience skills. Quantitative and qualitative analyses will be conducted. The study selection based on keywords was completed in December 2023, the study screening and review were completed in February 2024, and the results manuscript is currently being prepared. This scoping review protocol was funded by the Center for Higher Education Funding and the Indonesia Endowment Fund for Education. The results of the study will provide a comprehensive overview of commonly used digital media types and their effectiveness in increasing youth resilience. Thus, the results of this scoping review protocol can serve as foundational evidence in deciding further research or interventions. This study may also be used as a guideline for mapping and identifying the type and impact of communication media used to increase adolescents' resilience skills. DERR1-10.2196/58681.

Públicos imaginados: la concepción de los periodistas mexicanos sobre sus audiencias desde de los roles profesionales

How do Mexican journalists conceive their audiences and how does this impact their work? This study, based on a survey of journalists in Mexico (N = 486), conducted within the framework of the Worlds of Journalism project, analyzes the perceptions that journalists have about their audiences, highlighting how these perceptions influence journalistic roles. Findings indicate that the orientation ranges from educating and offering relevant content to disseminating exciting stories to increase consumption metrics, but this is conditioned by region, type of media, and journalists’ age.

The study of hadronic rescattering on K*0 resonance yield in baryon-rich QCD matter

Abstract The effect of hadronic rescattering on $K^{*0}$ resonance yield can be studied by measuring $K^{*0}/K$ ratio as a function of centrality or multiplicity. This study investigates how the size of the system and the chemical composition (meson-meson versus meson-baryon interaction) of the matter formed in heavy-ion collisions impact the process of hadronic rescattering. It is shown that existing calculation of $K^{*0}/K$ ratio, which considers the interaction of $K^{*0}$ and $K$ mesons with only light mesons in the hadronic medium (neglecting interactions with baryons), fails to explain the measured $K^{*0}/K$ ratio at RHIC BES energies. To understand the multiplicity dependence of the $K^{*0}/K$ ratio at RHIC BES and SPS energies ($\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ $&lt;$ 20 GeV), the Ultra Relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics (UrQMD) model is employed. UrQMD calculations suggest that for a given multiplicity, $K^{*0}/K$ is more suppressed in Au+Au collision at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ =7.7 GeV, compared to that in $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ =200 GeV. This is possibly because of formation different type of QCD medium at 200 GeV and 7.7 GeV, and change in interaction cross-section between hadrons with change in particle type and energy.

Antibiotic resistance at environmental multi-media interfaces through integrated genotype and phenotype analysis

Antibiotic resistance is currently an unfolding global crisis threatening human health worldwide. While antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are known to be pervasive in environmental media, the occurrence of antibiotic resistance at interfaces between two or more adjacent media is largely unknown. Here, we designed a microcosm study to simulate plastic pollution in paddy soil and used a novel method, stimulated Raman scattering coupled with deuterium oxide (D2O) labelling, to compare the antibiotic resistance in a single medium with that at the interface of multiple environmental media (plastic, soil, water). Results revealed that the involvement of more types of environmental media at interfaces led to a higher proportion of active resistant bacteria. Genotypic analysis showed that ARGs (especially high-risk ARGs) and mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were all highly enriched at the interfaces. This enrichment was further enhanced by the co-stress of heavy metal (arsenic) and antibiotic (ciprofloxacin). Our study is the first to apply stimulated Raman scattering to elucidate antibiotic resistance at environmental interfaces and reveals novel pathway of antibiotic resistance dissemination in the environment and overlooked risks to human health.

The relationship between the most consumed digital media in Portugal and audience participation mechanisms

IntroductionDigital journalism is well established in Portugal. However, the Portuguese public tend to opt for traditional media websites over those of a digital native nature. This research will confirm whether the reason for the national success of the former type of media is that their websites offer more participation mechanisms for the publics.MethodsBased on a qualitative methodology, an ad hoc methodological instrument was designed that allows for the evaluation of the ways in which audiences can interact with brands and content.Results and discussionThe results are highly surprising, since it is not possible to verify any type of relationship between preferred media and the number of audience participation mechanisms. Experts on a Delphi panel attribute media selection to the audiences’ interest in the stories covered and to the trust placed in the media.

Comparative study of various types of laser active media for solar pumping in multi-rod configurations

The Nd:YAG, Ce:Nd:YAG, and Cr:Nd:YAG active media in multi rod configuration are investigated for solar-pumped lasers using simulation methods. A statistical model employing Monte Carlo photon tracing simulates a laser system with multiple rods for combined end-side solar radiation pumping. The model enables one to evaluate efficiency, pump distribution, and output parameters of solar lasers. Simulation analyses is conducted on a three-rod setup using the aforementioned active media. Comparative results demonstrate that Cr:Nd:YAG achieves the highest efficiency, reaching an overall conversion efficiency of 5% at 500 W pump power, which is twice that of Nd:YAG lasers under similar conditions.

Influencer marketing effectiveness: A meta-analytic review

AbstractInfluencer marketing significantly impacts consumer behavior and decision-making. However, identifying the drivers of influencer marketing effectiveness and conditions that enhance their impact remains challenging. This meta-analysis, which synthesizes 1,531 effect sizes from 251 papers, assesses influencer marketing effectiveness by examining its antecedents, mediators, and moderators. Building on the persuasion knowledge model to develop and test a framework, we identify post, follower, and influencer characteristics as key antecedents impacting both non-transactional (i.e., attitude, behavioral engagement, and purchase intention) and transactional (i.e., purchase behavior and sales) marketing outcomes. For non-transactional outcomes, follower characteristics (social identity) have the strongest effects on consumer attitudes and behavioral engagement, while post characteristics (informational value and hedonic value) exert stronger effects on purchase intention. For transactional outcomes, influencer characteristics (influencer communication) have the strongest effects on purchase behavior. These antecedents also affect marketing outcomes indirectly through persuasion knowledge and source credibility. Moderation results indicate that direct and indirect effects of antecedents depend on social media types (i.e., nature of connection and usage) and product types (i.e., information availability and status-signaling capability). These results consolidate and advance the literature and offer insights into enhancing the effectiveness of influencer marketing.

Development of Haploid Plants by Shed-Microspore Culture in Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC.

Anther and microspore cultures are efficient methods for inducing haploids in plants. The microspore culture by chromosome-doubling method can produce double haploid lines, developing pure lines within the first or second generations. This study aimed to induce haploid plants in Platycodon grandiflorum using the shed-microspore culture method. P. grandiflorum floral buds (n = 1503) were cultured in six types of medium to induce haploids. Anthers were placed on a solid-liquid double-layer medium and cold pre-treated at 9 °C for one week, followed by incubation in the dark at 25 °C. Embryogenesis was observed after approximately 70 days of culture, producing haploid plants through regeneration. Of the 1503 floral buds, embryos developed in 120 buds, resulting in the induction of 402 individuals. Among the media used, Schenk and Hildebrandt (SH) and 1/2SH exhibited high efficiency, with embryogenesis ratios of 12% and 13.4%, respectively. Additionally, the highest embryogenesis ratio (15.3%) was observed in flower buds sized 10 mm or less. Therefore, we established shed-microspore culture conditions to induce haploids in P. grandiflorum. Using this method, haploids can be efficiently induced in P. grandiflorum, shortening the breeding period by enabling the rapid development of inbred lines.

Assessment of the impact of a “user generated” video in the communication of marine environmental threats

“User generated” content is a new popular type of content that shows potential in communicating information to younger age groups in new, creative ways. This study aimed to assess the impact of a “user generated” video in communicating about marine environmental threats, specifically to one hundred and fifty-one young adults enrolled in two different schools: a private higher education school, and a public university, both in the Lisbon metropolitan area (Portugal). The video’s impacts in the cognitive and emotional fields were assessed by comparing them to the impacts of an outreach text similar in content and duration of exposure. A pre-test/post-test methodology was used to evaluate short-term impacts, and a follow-up test was applied to gauge medium-term impacts. Additionally, short focus group sessions further explored topics such as media consumption preferences and trends. The results suggest that “user generated” video has a similar impact to an outreach text in the cognitive field, and a bigger impact in the emotional field when it comes to promoting positive emotions and feelings. Therefore, when used to its full potential, this type of media can be a suitable way to communicate about science and environmental topics, particularly marine environmental threats, and a valuable tool to raise public awareness.
