DUNHUANG MOGAO CAVES IMPACT ON ADOLESCENT CULTURAL HERITAGE EDUCATION WITH NEW MEDIA – A CASE STUDY ON THE DEER AND THE SNITCH

Abstract. As a key role in reflecting local diversity and identity, cultural heritage is of significant value to the living and well-being of a region and its people. Additionally, cultural heritage education serves to further enrich the values, core literacy, and cultural identity of future decision-makers. Even though countries are paying increased attention to these various aspects of education and research on cultural heritage obstacles to engagement exist. The obstacles addressed here include passive or minimal participation, and the lack of research surrounding methods for engaging adolescents with cultural heritage. However, the Dunhuang Academy's animated short, The Deer and the Snitch, featured on WeChat’s mini-programs, presents an example of novel methods used to educate and engage the adolescent demographic with cultural heritage through new media technology. Set in the Dunhuang Mogao Caves, the world’s oldest, richest, and most exquisite site for Buddhist art, this animated drama breathes life into the Dunhuang frescoes through its professional use of new media technology and strengthens their philosophical themes of truth, kindness, and beauty. With increased accessibility due to the mobile nature of WeChat mini programs, combined with an integrated mechanism for viewer participation, this animated drama constructs a bridge between individuals and cultural heritage. The planning and production ideas behind The Deer and the Snitch provide an innovative perspective for the use of new media technology in cultural heritage education.

With the popularity of the WeChat mini program game Sheep a Sheep, the successful marketing strategies behind it have brought reference to the game development industry, but at the same time, Internet addiction has also brought a significant negative impact on people's daily life, for example, people often immerse themselves in the Internet and thus affect their own lives, such as vision loss and other consequences. Therefore, through the literature reading, this paper aims to discuss and analyze the marketing strategies and replicability of the game, and finally discuss the methods to prevent Internet addiction. This paper concludes that game developers can create complaining points to capture people's psychology and strengthen the sense of game experience to expand the potential user base, and finally select the right communication platform to maximize the communication benefit. To prevent Internet addiction, people can start from four aspects: psychological cognition, individual behavior, game development company, and social sector.

Intelligent detection strategy and bioimaging application of dual-responsive Hg2+ and ONOO− using near-infrared probes

Mercury is a highly toxic heavy metal pollutant. Mercury and its derivatives pose serious threats to the environment and the health of organisms. Numerous reports have indicated that Hg2+ exposure induces a burst of oxidative stress in organisms, causing severe damage to the health of the organism. A large number of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are produced under conditions of oxidative stress, and superoxide anions (O2−) and NO radicals react rapidly with each other to produce peroxynitrite (ONOO−), an important downstream product. Therefore, developing an efficient and highly responsive screening method to monitor the fluctuations of Hg2+ and ONOO− levels is particularly important. In this work, we designed and synthesized a highly sensitive and highly specific near-infrared probe W-2a, which can effectively detect and distinguish Hg2+ and ONOO− through fluorescence imaging. In addition, we developed a WeChat mini-program called “Colorimetric acquisition” and built an intelligent detection platform to assess the environmental hazards of Hg2+ and ONOO−. The probe can detect Hg2+ and ONOO− in the body through dual signaling, as evidenced by cell imaging, and has successfully monitored fluctuations in the ONOO− levels in inflamed mice. In conclusion, the W-2a probe provides a highly efficient and reliable method for assessing oxidative stress-induced changes in the ONOO− levels in the body.

This study suggests that Estee Lauder should cancel the live streaming on Taobaos first page, add notices of WeChat services on Taobao as a reminder, change the color of the WeChat mini program, and be consistent with that of Taobao. This research concludes on the strengths and weaknesses of two applications and provides suggestions based on customers feedback.

The relationship between eHealth literacy and palliative care knowledge, attitudes, and practice among nurses: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundThe crucial role that nurses play in offering palliative care to patients with life-threatening diseases is widely acknowledged, but the correlation between their eHealth literacy and their knowledge, attitudes, and practice in this domain has yet to be investigated. This study is conducted to investigate the status of eHealth literacy and knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding palliative care among nurses, and to examine their relationship.MethodsA cross-sectional study design was conducted among 546 nurses selected from the first-class tertiary hospitals located both inside and outside of Zhejiang Province between May 12 and May 20, 2022. The online survey of eHealth literacy scale (eHEALS) and scale of knowledge, attitudes, and practice (KAP) regarding palliative care was performed using snowball sampling through the WeChat mini program “Questionnaire Star”. The Spearman rank correlation and binary logistic regression model were used to analyze the independent association between eHealth literacy and KAP toward palliative care.ResultsThe median scores of eHEALS and KAP regarding palliative care were 32 (interquartile range[IQR] 29 to 38) and 82 (IQR 54 to 106) points. The results of correlation analysis showed that the KAP regarding palliative care was significantly correlated with eHEALS (rho = 0.189, P < 0.001). In addition, the results of binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the eHEALS score was independently associated with the KAP score regarding palliative care when controlling for sociodemographic factors (OR = 2.109; P < 0.001).ConclusionNurses who worked in first-class tertiary hospitals have good levels of eHealth literacy, while the overall level of KAP regarding palliative care is moderate. Our findings highlight that the eHEALS score is independently associated with the KAP score regarding palliative care. Therefore, nursing managers should adopt multiple measures to comprehensively improve eHealth literacy among nurses, further enrich their knowledge of palliative care, promote a positive transformation of attitudes towards palliative care, and efficiently implement palliative care practice, in order to promote high-quality development of palliative care.

A Wechat miniprogram (‘Fresh color’) based on smart phone to indicate the freshness of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) and oysters on site by detection of the color changes of curcumin films

In this study, a color recognition system based on Wechat microprogram and curcumin films was developed for the first time to quickly detect the freshness of raw Atlantic salmon and oysters on site. The color of curcumin films, which varies with the freshness of Atlantic salmon and oysters, was measured with a handheld colorimeter. High performance liquid chromatography was used to determine the K value of Atlantic salmon and oysters each day and Conway dish was used to determine the TVB-N of Atlantic salmon and oysters each day. The color difference values were significantly positively correlated with the K values (R 2 = 0.9450, P = 0.0012) and volatile ammonia (R 2 = 0.998). Through the combination of color difference and freshness, the miniprogram was developed. Freshness was measured for Atlantic salmon stored at 4 °C for 7 days and for oysters stored at 4 °C for 6 days. The results of the miniprogram (‘Fresh Color’) based on color difference were also in good agreement with those of K value and TVB-N，that was, Atlantic salmon and oysters all began to become stale after being stored for 5–6 days. This indicates that the Wechat miniprogram provides a promising technology for rapid detection (less than 5 s) of freshness of raw Atlantic salmon and oysters on site. • We developed a miniprogram that can replace the colorimeter based on smart phones. • The rise of pH caused by protein deterioration changed the curcumin film color. • Miniprogram combined with films can determine the freshness of samples. • The results of miniprogram were consistent with the traditional freshness indexes.

Effectiveness of Digital Guided Self-help Mindfulness Training During Pregnancy on Maternal Psychological Distress and Infant Neuropsychological Development: Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal psychological distress during pregnancy is associated with unfavorable outcomes in infants. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) can effectively alleviate psychological distress, but there are often barriers to the access of face-to-face interventions. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a digital guided self-help (GSH) MBI (GSH-MBI) in reducing maternal psychological distress and improving infant neuropsychological performance. This was a randomized controlled trial. We recruited 160 women who were 12 to 20 weeks pregnant and exhibited psychological distress. We randomized them into a digital GSH-MBI group and a control group (usual perinatal care). The digital GSH-MBI consisted of a 6-week intervention through a WeChat mini program, with a daily reminder sent to the participants by a research assistant via WeChat. The primary outcomes consisted of maternal psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and pregnancy-related anxiety symptoms, which were assessed at 6 time points from baseline to 6 months post partum (only pregnancy-related anxiety symptoms were assessed 3 times during pregnancy). The secondary outcomes were infant neuropsychological outcomes, including temperament and developmental behaviors, which were assessed at 6 weeks and 6 months post partum. Compared with the control group, the digital GSH-MBI group showed a significant reduction in depression, anxiety, and pregnancy-related anxiety symptoms. In addition, the scores of the digital GSH-MBI group were lower than those of the control group for the 3 types of infant temperament at 6 weeks post partum, including quality of mood, distractibility, and adaptability. Digital GSH-MBIs are effective in alleviating psychological distress among pregnant women and protecting infant outcomes.

Usage, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of an mHealth-based integrated modality for smoking cessation interventions in Western China.

Many smokers have not accessed professional smoking cessation assistance due to limited smoking cessation services. We developed a novel mHealth-based integrated modality for smoking cessation (WeChat + Quitline modality, WQ modality) and applied it to a large public welfare project (China Western-QUIT Program) in western China. This study evaluated the usage, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of the WQ modality in the population of western China. A prospective cohort study was conducted between April and August 2021. Smokers or their relatives were recruited through online advertisements and medical staff referrals. After using the services of the WQ modality for one month, the self-reported awareness, use, and satisfaction with each service among the participants were collected by a telephone interview. We also evaluated the self-reported 7-day point prevalence of abstinence (PPA) and quit attempt rate among baseline current smokers. The usage data of each service were downloaded from quitline and WeChat platforms. Of the 17326 people from western China using the WQ modality, the largest number of users was WeChat official account (11173), followed by WeChat mini program (3734), WeChat group (669), and quitline (541 inbound calls, 605 outbound calls). At one month follow-up, over 70% of participants who completed the baseline survey (n=2221) were aware of WeChat-based services, and over 50% used them. However, the awareness rate (11.1%) and utilization rate (0.5%) of quitline were relatively low. The median satisfaction scores across all services were 9 out of 10 points (IQR: 8-9). Among the baseline current smokers (n=1257), self-reported 7-day PPA was 41.8% (526/1257), and another 225 smokers (17.9%) reported making a quit attempt. The WQ modality could be well used and accepted, and it has great potential to motivate and aid short-term smoking cessation in smokers from western China.

Classroom management system based on WeChat small program

Due to the current expansion of college enrollment and the continuous improvement of students' self-study ability, the seats in libraries and study rooms become very scarce, which also makes the phenomenon of seat occupancy in libraries and study rooms more and more serious. Through these phenomena, we found the problem -- college seat resources are not enough or the utilization rate of resources is not high, due to the unreasonable use of resources, "more monks than fewer" phenomenon leads to the occurrence of seat occupancy contradictions. Therefore, to solve this problem, we use the classroom management system based on WeChat mini program to make it more convenient and fast for students and teachers to understand the use of seats in each classroom, check the use of seats in each classroom in advance before going out or the day before, and make location reservation according to the situation, so as to realize the efficient utilization of classroom seat resources in colleges and universities. In order to solve the university seat resources are not enough or resource utilization is not high problem

WeChat mini program for wheat diseases recognition based on VGG-16 convolutional neural network

A WeChat mini-program-based approach to smoking cessation behavioral interventions: Development and preliminary evaluation in a single-arm trial.

This study sought to develop a WeChat mini-program for smoking cessation behavioral interventions (named the WQ mini-program) and evaluate its usability, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy among Chinese smokers. The WQ mini-program was designed based on behavioral change theories and clinical practice guidelines, and clinical smoking cessation experts participated in the development process. Fifty Chinese smokers and five software experts were involved in a single-arm trial. Smokers were asked to use the WQ mini-program at least once a day for 4 weeks and to complete a weekly online follow-up questionnaire. Software experts were asked to complete an online follow-up questionnaire after using all functions of the WQ mini-program. Primary outcomes were usability and acceptability of and satisfaction with the mini-program tested by the System Usability Scale (SUS) and the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS). Self-reported 7-day point prevalence abstinence (PPA) was used to evaluate its preliminary efficacy for smoking cessation. Optimization suggestions for the mini-program were collected from all participants through an open-ended question at the last follow-up and were analyzed by thematic analysis. The mean SUS and MARS total scores for the WQ mini-program as evaluated by smokers were 82.1 ± 13.8 and 84.5 ± 3.3 and by software experts were 4.21 ± 0.32 and 4.27 ± 0.15, respectively. Most smokers reported being willing to recommend this mini-program to other smokers (85.4%) and would continue to use it (95.8%). The mean satisfaction score for the mini-program was 4.23 ± 0.69 (out of 5 points) among smokers. Self-reported 7-day PPA among smokers at the 4-week follow-up was 50% (25/50). This study demonstrated that the WQ mini-program would be a feasible and potentially effective method to encourage Chinese smokers to quit smoking. However, future research is needed to confirm its efficacy through a randomized controlled trial.

Smartphone-assisted multicolor hypoxanthine sensing for on-site freshness assessment of aquatic products

Hypoxanthine (Hx) has been considered an essential indicator for aquatic products' freshness, especially in the early stage of spoilage. It could generate hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and uric acid (UA) with the catalyst of xanthine oxidase (XOD). Existed Hx biosensors are only based on H2O2-triggered signal changes or are unsuitable for on-site freshness assessment. Here, we design an on-site Hx sensing method via the detection of both H2O2 and UA by taking advantage of the specific properties of manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets. MnO2 nanosheets could oxidize colorless 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into yellow TMB2+, which can etch gold nanorods (Au NRs) with vivid color changes. However, in the presence of Hx, MnO2 nanosheets were reduced to Mn2+ rapidly by H2O2 and UA, inhibiting the etching step and mediating color changes. The H2O2 and UA meditated strategy exhibits excellent sensitivity toward Hx with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.378 µM. A WeChat mini program was also constructed to achieve the on-site evaluation and satisfy the special population' requirement. The proposed method has been successfully used to monitor actual sample spoilage under different storage conditions. We expect this method to provide another insight into the on-site freshness assessment of aquatic products.

In addition, approximately 3200 learners are involved to investigate learning requirements and test system performance. The experimental and practical results demonstrate the superiority of the smart learning assistant and the effectiveness gained by promoting learning outcomes in blended learning.

A Modularized IoT Monitoring System with Edge-Computing for Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a green and efficient agricultural production model that combines aquaculture and vegetable cultivation. It is worth looking into optimizing the proportion of fish and plants to improve the quality and yield. However, there is little non-destructive monitoring of plant growth in aquaponics monitoring systems currently. In this paper, based on the Internet of Things technologies, a monitoring system is designed with miniaturization, modularization, and low-cost features for cultivation-breeding ratio research. The system can realize remote monitoring and intelligent control of parameters needed to keep fish and plants under optimal conditions. First, a 32-bit chip is used as the Microcontroller Unit to develop the intelligent sensing unit, which can realize 16 different data acquisitions as stand-alone extensible modules. Second, to achieve plant data acquisition and upload, the Raspberry Pi embedded with image processing algorithms is introduced to realize edge-computing. Finally, all the collected data is stored in the Ali-cloud through Wi-Fi and a WeChat Mini Program is designed to display data and control devices. The results show that there is no packet loss within 90 m for wireless transmission, and the error rate of environment parameters is limited to 5%. It was proven that the system is intelligent, flexible, low-cost, and stable which is suitable for small-scale aquaponics well.

Validation of the translated version of the EVAN-G scale in a Chinese-speaking population

BackgroundThis study aimed to translate the French version of a perioperative satisfaction questionnaire (EVAN-G) scale, a validated questionnaire for assessing perioperative patient satisfaction, into a Chinese version and validate it in Chinese-speaking patients.MethodsWe developed the Chinese version of the EVAN-G (EVAN-GC) scale based on the original French version of the EVAN-G. The EVAN-GC scale, the Short version of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (S-STAI), and the McGill pain questionnaire (MGPQ) were administered on the WeChat mini program. We invited patients to complete these questionnaires within 4 to 24 h after surgery. The psychometric validation of the EVAN-GC scale included validity, reliability, and acceptability.ResultsAmong 220 patients, 217 (98.6%) completed the EVAN-GC scale after surgery. The item-internal consistency revealed good construct validity. Compared with the total scores of the S-STAI and MGPQ, the EVAN-GC scale showed excellent convergent validity (ρ = − 0.32, P < 0.001; ρ = − 0.29, P < 0.001). The EVAN-GC scale could differentiate between groups, which showed good discriminate validity. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (0.85) of the translated scale demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency reliability, and a 36-patient subsample retest evidenced good test-retest reliability (ρ = 0.82, P < 0.001). In addition, the median [interquartile range] time of completing the EVAN-GC scale was 3.7 [2.9–4.9] min.ConclusionsThe EVAN-GC scale has good psychometric properties similar to those of the original French version. The EVAN-GC scale is a valid and reliable measurement to assess patient satisfaction in Chinese-speaking patients.Trial registrationThe Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2100049555.

Airway Management in Adult Intensive Care Units: A Survey of Two Regions in China.

The critical medicine residency training in China started in 2020, but no investigation on the practice of tracheal intubation in ICUs in China has been conducted. A survey was sent to the adult ICUs in public hospitals in Shenzhen (SZ) city and Xinjiang (XJ) province using a WeChat miniprogram to be completed by intensive care physicians. It included questions on training on intubation, intubation procedures, and changes in the use of personal protective equipment due to COVID-19. We analyzed 301 valid questionnaires which were from 72 hospitals. A total of 37% of respondents had completed training in RSI (SZ, 40% vs. XJ, 30%; p = 0.066), and 50% had participated in a course on the emergency front of the neck airway (SZ, 47% vs. XJ, 54%; p = 0.256). Video laryngoscopy was preferred by 75% of respondents. Manual ventilation (56%) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (34%) were the first-line options for preoxygenation. For patients with a high risk of aspiration, nasogastric decompression (47%) and cricoid pressure (37%) were administered. Propofol (82%) and midazolam (70%) were the most commonly used induction agents. Only 19% of respondents routinely used neuromuscular blocking agents. For patients with difficult airways, a flexible endoscope was the most commonly used device by 76% of respondents. Most participants (77%) believed that the COVID-19 pandemic had significantly increased their awareness of the need for personal protective equipment during tracheal intubation. Our survey demonstrated that the ICU doctors in these areas lack adequate training in airway management.
