Intelligent Auxiliary Artificial Wood Plank Pattern Design Based on the Subject Search Algorithm of Multimedia Resources

Regarding the restriction of the wood processing enterprises in the market, intelligent artificial wood materials are mainly based on the demand for pattern quality levels, and the calculation method of multimedia resource theme search is used to achieve the pattern design of intelligent auxiliary artificial wood materials. First, analyze the pattern characteristics of intelligent auxiliary artificial wood materials. After analyzing the characteristics, use the multimedia resource subject search calculation method to carry out the binarization design. At the same time, use the self-learning method to optimize the convergence efficiency and reduce the design time. Finally, pass the softmax designer extracts design schemes for patterns and straight lines.

Saving Lives with Pride: Development and Evaluation of Multimedia Resources to Engage Gay, Bisexual, and Queer Men in Canada As Stem Cell Donors

Background: Since 2009, gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (gbMSM) have been eligible to register as stem cell donors in Canada and donate to patients in need. However, many gbMSM are unaware of their eligibility to be donors. Targeted recruitment of gbMSM could augment efforts to recruit donors from needed demographic groups and support a more inclusive donor registry. Here, we describe the development and evaluation of multimedia to engage gbMSM in Canada as stem cell donors. Methods: Multimedia resources were developed by gbMSM in Canada, in collaboration with recruiters from Stem Cell Club (stemcellclub.ca) and were designed to highlight gbMSM eligibility and educate about the need for donors from diverse ancestries. Resources were reviewed for accuracy by transplantation experts and appeal by focus groups of gbMSM. The resources were published to stemcellclub.ca/savingliveswithpride/ and disseminated to members of the community of practice (CoP) in stem cell donor recruitment in Canada during an e-meeting. We evaluated stakeholder perspective on these multimedia and their impact 1) across social and traditional media; 2) on gbMSM eligible donors' knowledge and attitudes towards donation; and 3) on reducing barriers for gbMSM donation. Results: Multimedia developed included: infographics emphasizing gbMSM eligibility regardless of recent sexual contact (Fig. A); @WhyWeSwab (twitter.com/whyweswab) story arcs featuring a stem cell donor and a stem cell recipient (Fig. B) from the LGBTQ2+ community; TikToks and other short videos (Fig. C), and testimonials (Fig. D) featuring gbMSM advocating for their communities to register as donors; and statements from Transplant Hematologists emphasizing that gbMSM donors will be treated sensitively and with respect (Fig. E). 33 CoP members from 6 provinces across Canada, and with a median of 2-years recruitment experience, participated in a survey post-publication. The majority felt the resources would engage gbMSM as donors (84%) and clarify gbMSM eligibility (87%); noted experiencing a lack of awareness from potential registrants on whether gbMSM were eligible to donate stem cells (69%); and felt that a national campaign to recruit gbMSM is needed (97%), would support a more inclusive registry (97%), and would augment recruitment of diverse donors (94%). 37 gbMSM eligible stem cell donors (84% gay men and 11% bisexual men; from 13 different ancestral groups; living in 5 provinces across Canada) completed surveys evaluating the impact of these multimedia on their knowledge and attitudes towards donation. After being shown these multimedia, mean scores on a 4 question knowledge test improved from 66% to 93% (p<0.001, Fig. F); mean scores on the Simmons Ambivalence Scale significantly decreased from 38% to 24% (p<0.001, Fig. G); and participants were more willing to register as donors (59% vs 84%, p=0.027) and less likely to believe there are significant barriers to donation for gbMSM (51% vs 11%, p=0.033). Qualitative analysis of feedback from focus groups with these participants identified examples of how the multimedia decreased barriers to donation impacting gbMSM (Fig. H). Multimedia were included in a Pride Month (6/2021) Campaign in Canada, "Saving Lives With Pride", and were shared on social media by LGBTQ2+ groups including on campuses (e.g. SFU Out On Campus), in the community (e.g. Abbey of the Long Cedar Canoe, JQT Vancouver), and nationally (e.g. Canadian Queer Medical Students Association). They were also profiled and shared by major medical organizations (e.g. Canadian Blood Services blood.ca/en/stories/stem-cell-club-volunteers-aim-save-lives-pride-month-campaign) and by media across Canada including CityNews (ctvnews.ca/health/pride-month-tiktok-drive-encourages-stem-cell-donations-from-gay-bi-men-1.5475113) and CTV News (toronto.citynews.ca/video/2021/06/17/doctors-turn-to-queer-communities-for-stem-cell-donors), who also highlighted the resources and their message as one of the top stories in Canada on 6/18/21 (ctvnews.ca/mobile/5-things/5-things-to-know-for-friday-june-18-2021-1.5475813). Conclusions: We developed an array of high-quality multimedia to support recruitment of gbMSM as potential stem cell donors and reduce barriers to donation. Our work is relevant to recruitment organizations worldwide seeking to develop more inclusive recruitment approaches. Figure 1 Figure 1. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

HYBRID GENDER IN METAMORPHOSIS: analysis of literary journalism characteristics in online editions of the UOL TAB platform (2014–2018)

ABSTRACT – In the current scenario where long-form journalism is now an online narrative form, this work sought to understand if and how the characteristics of literary journalism (LJ), as defined by authors Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) and Pena (2017), are integrated into the multimedia content of webjournalism. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used to perform this, and the content analysis methodology was applied to a final sample of four reports from the UOL TAB platform. We found that LJ in digital writing uses multimedia features to enhance readers’ experiences and, even though the written text remains a key element to the narrative, the multimedia resources attached to it make the genre original, and thus provide for a more immersive reading experience.RESUMO – Em um cenário em que o jornalismo longform já faz parte das narrativas na web, este trabalho buscou compreender se e como as características do jornalismo literário (JL), definidas pelos autores Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) e Pena (2017), são integradas ao conteúdo multimídia do webjornalismo. Para isso, foram utilizadas as abordagens quantitativa e qualitativa e aplicou-se a metodologia análise de conteúdo em uma amostra final de quatro reportagens da plataforma UOL TAB. Verificou-se que o JL na escrita digital se apropria dos elementos multimídia com a intencionalidade de potencializar a experiência do leitor; e, embora o texto escrito continue como elemento central da narrativa, são os recursos multimídia acoplados a ele, que inovam o gênero, tornando a experiência do leitor mais imersiva.RESUMEN – En un escenario donde el periodismo de larga duración ya forma parte de las narrativas en la web, el trabajo buscó comprender si y cómo las características del periodismo literario (JL), definidas por los autores Kramer (1995), Wolfe (2005), Lima (2009) y Pena (2017), se integran en el contenido multimedia del periodismo web. Para ello, se utilizaron los enfoques cuantitativos y cualitativos y se aplicó la metodología de análisis de contenido a una muestra final de cuatro reportajes periodísticos de la plataforma UOL TAB. Se encontró que la JL en escritura digital se apropia de los elementos multimedia con la intención de mejorar la experiencia del lector; y, aunque el texto escrito sigue siendo un elemento central de la narrativa, son los recursos multimedia adjuntos que innovan el género, haciendo que la experiencia del lector sea más inmersiva.

Multimedia Annotations for Practical Collaborative Reasoning

University education requires students to be trained both at university and at external internship centres. Because of Covid-19, the availability of multimedia resources and examples of practical contexts has become vital. Multimedia annotation can help students reflect on the professional world, collaborating and interacting with colleagues online. This study aims to encourage collaborative practical thinking by using new video annotation technologies. 274 students participated in an experiment of task design focusing on the analysis of a technology-based, award-winning educational innovation project. With mixed research design, qualitative and quantitative data exported from the video annotation platform used was collected and analysed. The results show differences in the quality and quantity of the answers: in the tasks with broad Folksonomy they are more numerous but more dispersed in their analysis, and vice versa. The quality of the answers given with narrow Folksonomy is also higher in both texts and videos modes. Producing multimedia annotations is a practical way to encourage students to practise reflective reasoning about the professional reality.
