Application of augmented reality models of canine skull in veterinary anatomical education.

Veterinary anatomy plays a crucial role in the curriculum for veterinary medicine and surgery. The integration of modern information technology in veterinary education can greatly benefit from innovative tools such as augmented reality (AR) applications. The aim of this study was to develop an accurate and interactive three-dimensional (3D) digital model of an animal skull using AR technology, aiming to enhance the learning of skull anatomy in veterinary anatomy education. In this study, a canine skull specimen was isolated, and the skull bones were scanned using a structured light scanner to create a 3D digital model of the canine skull, which was found to be indistinguishable from the original specimen by measurement of skull proportions. Furthermore, the interactive AR model of the canine skull, displayed using Unity3D, was subjected to testing and evaluation by 60 first-year veterinary medical students attending the gross anatomy of the animal. The students were divided into two groups: the traditional group and AR group. Both groups completed an objective test and a questionnaire. The evaluation of learning effectiveness in the test revealed no significant difference between the traditional group (which learned using textbooks and a canine skull specimen) and AR group (which learned using AR tools). However, in the questionnaire, students displayed high enthusiasm and interest in using the AR tool. Therefore, the application of AR tools can improve students' motivation for learning and enhance the comprehension of anatomical structures in three dimensions. Furthermore, this study exemplifies the use of AR as an auxiliary tool for teaching and learning in veterinary anatomy education.

Exploring the Reform and Innovation Path of Physical Education in Colleges and Universities under the Background of Internet

Abstract The Internet background and the rapid change in science and technology promote the innovation of traditional college physical education, and the study uses the OpenPose method to detect the key points of students’ bodies in physical education and evaluate their postures. Meanwhile, based on the extraction of feature information of students’ movement postures, the DTW algorithm solves the problem of the inconsistent length of the video sequence of movement postures, matches students’ movement postures, and determines whether the activities of various joints are standardized during students’ movement. The evaluation index system of college physical education is constructed to evaluate the college physical education teaching method proposed in this paper. Apply the method of this paper in practice, using the method of comparing and analyzing the students’ academic interest, physical fitness, motor skills and motor posture before and after the experiment to explore the effectiveness of this paper’s method. The evaluation of the physical education method scored the highest on the secondary index of technology application, the lowest on learning resources, and the highest on the tertiary index of “the ability to use modern educational technology” and “timely and accurate student feedback”. The lowest scores were for “reasonable layout of learning space” and “completeness of facilities”. Before the experiment, the P value of the tennis program of the two groups of male and female students in the 10 dimensions of academic interest, physical fitness and motor skills and the mobility specification of 4 types of joints was greater than 0.05. After the experiment, the two groups of male and female students performed better than the control group in academic interest, physical fitness, motor skills and the mobility specification of joints, and the P value of the two groups of male and female students was less than 0.05. This paper shows that the OpenPose-based approach to physical education in higher education has yielded positive outcomes.

The EG male students were engaged in such type of fitness technologies as Strenflex during physical education training sessions, and the EG female students - Dance Aerobics. Students' health was assessed by Stange and Genchi tests, Rufier and strength indices; and physical development - by the level of development of physical qualities. Results: It was found that Strenflex training sessions have a positive effect on all studied health indicators of male students (Stangea and Genchi tests, Rufie and strength indices), and Dance Aerobics training sessions are more effective in improving the functional capabilities of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, and less effective in developing the strength capabilities of female students. It has also been established that the most pronounced effect of the applied modern fitness technologies is on the development of strength qualities in men, endurance, and flexibility in men and women. Conclusions: The effectiveness of modern fitness technologies in physical education in educational institutions to improve students' health and physical development has been proven. The level of health and physical development of students, formed in the process of conscious training, will contribute to their successful learning and life-sustaining activities, as well as to maintaining the necessary level of motor activity in the future.

Research on the Path of English Translation Teaching and External Communication Based on the Multimodal Analysis Method

Abstract With the development of the times and the continuous innovation of modern education technology, the multimodal theory is developing deeply in the field of education. The first step in this study is to use the optimization principle to select modes that meet the needs of English translation teaching and then develop a multimodal analysis framework for external communication that incorporates multimedia communication methods. Then, we constructed an emotion recognition model for English translation teaching by using speech recognition and expression recognition combined with convolutional neural networks for the students’ classroom situation and attitude and carried out the empirical analysis. The recognition accuracy of the emotion recognition system constructed in this paper is 86.4%. In the multimodal analysis of English translation teaching, the teacher who uses the linguistic modality type for the most number of times 387 times, and the teacher who uses the mixed modality for the most number of times 271 times, the students have the best classroom status. It has been stable at about 5 points, which is a “more positive” state. The students in the class had the highest level of motivation. Through the analysis, it is found that multimodal teaching can effectively improve the students’ status in class and keep their attention, which verifies the appropriateness of the external communication path combined with multimedia communication in multimodal English translation teaching. It provides a practical path for the development of English translation teaching.
