Unfortunately, though, it seldom takes advantage of the new technologies and capabilities offered by the modern World Wide Web. In this article, we present an interactive online platform that provides users with learning activities for students of English as a foreign language. The platform focuses on using audiovisual multimedia content and a user experience (UX) centered approach to provide learners with an enhanced learning experience that aims at improving their knowledge level while at the same time increasing their engagement and motivation to participate in learning. To achieve this, the platform uses advanced techniques, such as interactive vocabulary and pronunciation assistance, mini-games, embedded media, voice recording, and more. In addition, the platform provides educators with analytics about user engagement and performance. In this study, more than 100 young students participated in a preliminary use of the aforementioned platform and provided feedback concerning their experience. Both the platform’s metrics and the user-provided feedback indicated increased engagement and a preference of the participants for interactive audiovisual multimedia-based learning activities.</span> </p>展开更多

In tiffs study, we sought to establish normative Chinese evaluation criteria lbr penile tumescence and rigidity by utilizing audiovisual sexual stimulation and RigiScanTM test (AVSS-Rigiscan test) with the administration of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. Methods: A total of 1169 patients (aged 18-67 years) complained of erectile dysfunction (ED) underwent AVSS-RigiScan test with the administration of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. A total of 1078 patients whose final etiological diagnosis was accurate by means of history, endocrine, vascular, and neurological diagnosis, International Index of Erectile Function 5 questionnaire, and erection hardness score were included in the research. Logistic regression model and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis were performed to determine the cutoffvalue of the RigiScanTM data. Then, the multivariable logistic analysis was used in the selected variables. Results: A normal restllt is defined as one erection with basal rigidity over 60% sustained for at least 8.75 rain, average event rigidity of tip at least 43.5% and base at least 50.5%, average maximum rigidity of tip at least 62.5% and base at least 67.5%, △tumescence (increase of tumescence or maxinaum-mininaum tumescence) of tip at least 1.75 cm and base at least 1.95 cm, total tumescence time at least 29.75 rain, and times of total tumescence at least once. Most importantly, basal rigidity over 60% sustained for at least 8.75 min, average event rigidity of tip at least 43.5%, and base at least 50.5% would be the new normative Chinese evaluation criteria for penile tumescence and rigidity. By multivariable logistic regression analysis, six significant RigiScanTM parameters including times of total tumescence, duration of erectile episodes over 60%, average event rigidity of tip, Atumescence of tip, average event rigidity of base, and Atunaescence of base contribute to the risk model of ED. In logistic regression equation, predict value P 〈 0.303 was considered as psychogenic ED. The sensitivity and specificity of the AVSS-RigiScan test with the administration ofphosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor in discriminating psychogenic from organic ED was 87.7% and 93.4%,, respectively. Conclusions: This study suggests that AVSS-RigiScan test with oral phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors can objectively assess penile tumescence and rigidity and seems to be a better modality in differentiating psychogenic from organic ED. ttowever, due to the limited sample size, bias cannot be totally excluded.展开更多

In an audiovisual temporal order judgment paradigm, the reliability of the auditory signal was manipulated by Gaussian volume envelopes, introducing varying degrees of temporal uncertainty. While statistically optimal weighting according to the MLE rule was found in half of the participants, the other half consistently overweighted the auditory signal. The results are discussed in terms of a general auditory bias in time perception, interindividual differences, as well as in terms of the conditions and limits of statistically optimal multisensory integration.展开更多

Methods: A prospective, comparative trial was done in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies at the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center in Thailand. Before the procedure, all patients who met the selection criteria and agreed to participate in the study by signing the proper consent forms were placed into 2 groups. G1 (group 1) was informed with the standard verbal informed consent and G2 (group 2) was informed with audiovisual multimedia in the form of a DVD in collaboration with the standard, verbal, informed consent procedure. The patients were interviewed by a nurse, using a checklist type of questionnaire, as to their satisfaction and comprehension of the procedure on the day of discharge. Results: In the period of June 2010 through December 2010, 60 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies and who had met the conditions of research were included in our study. There were 30 patients in each group. The average satisfaction score in G1 was 3.12 out of a total of 5 and in G2 was 4.51 of 5 (P < 0.001). The percentage of patients that had an understanding of the operative information: 1) Understood ≥ 50% of information;G1 was at 13.33% and G2 was at 70.00%;2) comprehension of 1% - 49% of the information;G1 was at 20.00% and G2 was at 26.67%;3) No comprehension;G1 was measured at 66.67% and G2 was at 3.33%. The subgroup included the analysis of 7 items of information (operative indications, operative process, operative results, possible complications, wound care, diet, conditions for returning to work) and these were understood at a higher level in G2 than those in G1 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: In the context of the Thai culture;high technology, audiovisual multimedia combined with the standard, verbal, informed consent process enhanced the satisfaction and the comprehension of patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Audiovisual multimedia should have the appropriate content, be clear, comprehensive and should include images and the voice of the surgeon who will be performing the operation to help the patient feel confident in the surgeon and in their decision to proceed with the surgery. Providing information in DVD form will benefit patients as they can examine it by themselves in the comfort of their home before the surgery and review the material as many times as may be required to provide a full understanding.展开更多

An analytical model that incorporates linguistic, semiotic and cultural analysis is constructed.The findings reveal that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon internalizes a hybrid intercultural Chinese identity that has rooted in Ang Lee’s cognition of an imagined cultural China.Symbolically, a profound Chinese wuxia story that contains interwoven conflicts and negotiations between Chinese traditional culture and Western humanistic values is presented. The English translation of subtitles plays a key role in bridging the gap between Chinese culture and Western audiences, facilitating the dialogue between East and West.Significantly, Ang Lee’s adaptation of plots, shaping of figures, symbolic representation of China’s landscapes and also the use of language to some extent are for catering to Western audiences. Although the romantic imagination of “Cultural China” presents a multicultural cooperation of Chinese and Western culture, it objectively reinforces the ideological symbol of China as an orientally cultural “other” to the Western world.展开更多

文摘Cross-modal selective attention enhances the processing of sensory inputs that are most relevant to the task at hand.Such differential processing could be mediated by a swift network reconfiguration on the macroscopic level,but this remains a poorly understood process.To tackle this issue,we used a behavioral paradigm to introduce a shift of selective attention between the visual and auditory domains,and recorded scalp electroencephalographic signals from eight healthy participants.The changes in effective connectivity caused by the cross-modal attentional shift were delineated by analyzing spectral Granger Causality(GC),a metric of frequency-specific effective connectivity.Using data-driven methods of pattern-classification and feature-analysis,we found that a change in the a band(12 Hz-15 Hz) of GC is a stable feature across different individuals that can be used to decode the attentional shift.Specifically,auditory attention induces more pronounced information flow in the α band,especially from the parietal-occipital areas to the temporal-parietal areas,compared to the case of visual attention,reflecting a reconfiguration of interaction in the macroscopic brain network accompanying different processing.Our results support the role of α oscillation in organizing the information flow across spatially-separated brain areas and,thereby,mediating cross-modal selective attention.

文摘The present study examined whether audiovisual integration of temporal stimulus features in humans can be predicted by the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) model which is based on the weighting of unisensory cues by their relative reliabilities. In an audiovisual temporal order judgment paradigm, the reliability of the auditory signal was manipulated by Gaussian volume envelopes, introducing varying degrees of temporal uncertainty. While statistically optimal weighting according to the MLE rule was found in half of the participants, the other half consistently overweighted the auditory signal. The results are discussed in terms of a general auditory bias in time perception, interindividual differences, as well as in terms of the conditions and limits of statistically optimal multisensory integration.
文摘Background:The ability to track objects as they move is critical for successful interaction with objects in the world.The multiple object tracking(MOT)paradigm has demonstrated that,within limits,our visual attention capacity allows us to track multiple moving objects among distracters.Very little is known about dynamic auditory attention and the role of multisensory binding in attentional tracking.Here,we examined whether dynamic sounds congruent with visual targets could facilitate tracking in a 3D-MOT task.Methods:Participants tracked one or multiple target-spheres among identical distractor-spheres during 8 seconds of movement in a virtual cube.In the visual condition,targets were identified with a brief colour change,but were then indistinguishable from the distractors during the movement.In the audio-visual condition,the target-spheres were accompanied by a sound,which moved congruently with the change in the target’s position.Sound amplitude varied with distance from the observer and inter-aural amplitude difference varied with azimuth.Results:Results with one target showed that performance was better in the audiovisual condition,which suggests that congruent sounds can facilitate attentional visual tracking.However,with multiple targets,the sounds did not facilitate tracking.Conclusions:This suggests that audiovisual binding may not be possible when attention is divided between multiple targets.
文摘Objective: A comparative study of the audiovisual, multimedia, informed consent procedure enhancing the satisfaction and comprehension in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients within the contexts of the Thai culture. Methods: A prospective, comparative trial was done in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies at the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn Medical Center in Thailand. Before the procedure, all patients who met the selection criteria and agreed to participate in the study by signing the proper consent forms were placed into 2 groups. G1 (group 1) was informed with the standard verbal informed consent and G2 (group 2) was informed with audiovisual multimedia in the form of a DVD in collaboration with the standard, verbal, informed consent procedure. The patients were interviewed by a nurse, using a checklist type of questionnaire, as to their satisfaction and comprehension of the procedure on the day of discharge. Results: In the period of June 2010 through December 2010, 60 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies and who had met the conditions of research were included in our study. There were 30 patients in each group. The average satisfaction score in G1 was 3.12 out of a total of 5 and in G2 was 4.51 of 5 (P < 0.001). The percentage of patients that had an understanding of the operative information: 1) Understood ≥ 50% of information;G1 was at 13.33% and G2 was at 70.00%;2) comprehension of 1% - 49% of the information;G1 was at 20.00% and G2 was at 26.67%;3) No comprehension;G1 was measured at 66.67% and G2 was at 3.33%. The subgroup included the analysis of 7 items of information (operative indications, operative process, operative results, possible complications, wound care, diet, conditions for returning to work) and these were understood at a higher level in G2 than those in G1 (P < 0.001). Conclusions: In the context of the Thai culture;high technology, audiovisual multimedia combined with the standard, verbal, informed consent process enhanced the satisfaction and the comprehension of patients undergoing a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Audiovisual multimedia should have the appropriate content, be clear, comprehensive and should include images and the voice of the surgeon who will be performing the operation to help the patient feel confident in the surgeon and in their decision to proceed with the surgery. Providing information in DVD form will benefit patients as they can examine it by themselves in the comfort of their home before the surgery and review the material as many times as may be required to provide a full understanding.

文摘Some multimodal signals-that is,occurring in more than one sensory modality-appear to carry additional information which is not present when component signals are presented separately.To understand the function of male ring dove’s(Streptopelia risoria)multimodal courtship,we used audiovisual playback of male displays to investigate female response to stimuli differing in their audiovisual timing.From natural courtship recordings,we created a shifted stimulus where audio was shifted relative to video by afixed value and a jittered stimulus,where each call was moved randomly along the visual channel.We presented 3 groups of females with the same stimulus type,that is,control,shifted,and jittered,for 7 days.We recorded their behavior and assessed pre-and post-test blood estradiol concentration.We found that playback exposure increased estradiol levels,confirming that this technique can be efficiently used to study doves’sexual communication.Additionally,chasing behavior(indicating sexual stimulation)increased over experimental days only in the control condition,suggesting a role of multimodal timing on female response.This stresses the importance of signal configuration in multimodal communication,as additional information is likely to be contained in the temporal association between modalities.
文摘Objective To investigate the set-up and preliminary performance of a digital radiology conference system and its characteristics. Methods The imaging system included a dual-screen image-text workstation with a Matrox G450 demonstration dual-head card, two multimedia projectors, a large screen, and a line-pair and grey scale test card. Patient information on radiology information system (RIS) and images on picture archiving and communication system (PACS) were fetched with GE Radworks software based on Intranet and PACS. The fetching velocity and resolution and grey scale of the images were measured. Results Patient information in the form of texts and images were demonstrated successfully on two screens with Matrox G450 demonstration dual-head card and switched rapidly between text-image two-screen and image two-screen. The image fetching velocity was fast, the resolution was high, and the grey scale was good. Conclusion The digital conference radiology system is good, and should be popularized.
文摘This study takes a sociosemiotic approach to decode Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon that is seen as an audiovisual discourse and also a symbolic representation. An analytical model that incorporates linguistic, semiotic and cultural analysis is constructed.The findings reveal that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon internalizes a hybrid intercultural Chinese identity that has rooted in Ang Lee’s cognition of an imagined cultural China.Symbolically, a profound Chinese wuxia story that contains interwoven conflicts and negotiations between Chinese traditional culture and Western humanistic values is presented. The English translation of subtitles plays a key role in bridging the gap between Chinese culture and Western audiences, facilitating the dialogue between East and West.Significantly, Ang Lee’s adaptation of plots, shaping of figures, symbolic representation of China’s landscapes and also the use of language to some extent are for catering to Western audiences. Although the romantic imagination of “Cultural China” presents a multicultural cooperation of Chinese and Western culture, it objectively reinforces the ideological symbol of China as an orientally cultural “other” to the Western world.
