Authors: Zakiah Kiki , Iskandar Doddy , Supriadi Yadi , Hantoro Naditha Rizkya
Published: January 2025

The development of digital technology has transformed how students interact and participate in dakwah activities, particularly through social media. This study aims to analyze how media literacy supports the involvement of SMK YPC Tasikmalaya students in digital religious dakwah movements and how pesantren-based education enhances these capabilities. Using qualitative methods and a case study approach, this research collected data through interviews, observations, and documentation of students' digital dakwah activities. The findings indicate that the media literacy program at SMK YPC Tasikmalaya not only equips students with technical skills to access and disseminate information but also instills religious moderation values to counter radicalism and intolerance in digital dakwah. Media literacy developed through the pesantren approach encourages students to become creators of inclusive, peaceful, and relevant dakwah content tailored to digital audiences. The implications of this research highlight the importance of integrating media literacy into religious education curricula to prepare young generations as productive and moderate digital preachers. With these skills, students can actively disseminate tolerant dakwah messages and foster a harmonious digital community rooted in religious values.

Published: January 2025

Rotavirus is recognized as one of the worid’s most common pathogens of acute gastroenteritis among children (up to 5 years of age) and has significant impact on chiidhood morbidity and mortality. The recommended by WHO routine vaccination of infants against rotavirus infection has led to notable reduction in incidence, hospitalization and costs associated with rotavirus infection outcomes in countries that have achieved high vaccination coverage. However, we should be aware of several features of rotavirus vaccines implementation as their safety and efficacy depend on it. Despite the absence of rotavirus vaccination within the National Immunization Schedule in Russian Federation and extremely low coverage of rotavirus preventive vaccination, the authors receive many questions from practicing pediatricians regarding cases of rotavirus vaccination. This article includes complete answers for most relevant of them that arise during practical use of rotavirus vaccines.

Published: January 2025

Intense infestations of a mealybug species were observed on cotton plants in Aydın province (Türkiye) between 2022 and 2023. Insect samples were identified as the cotton mealybug, Phenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, 1898 (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae). In 2024, surveys were conducted to determine the distribution, infestation rates and alternative hosts of the cotton mealybug in cotton cultivation areas in Aydın. As a result of the surveys, it was determined that the cotton mealybug was distributed in 12 districts of Aydın province and 44.37% of total cotton cultivation areas was infested in Aydın. The infestation rates per field varied between 0.00% and 100%, and for each district changed between 0.00% and 46.13%. In and around cotton fields, 27 alternative host plants were found. Of these, four species are for the first time recorded as hosts of cotton mealybug, of which the most common host plants were Conyza spp. (Asterales: Asteraceae).

Published: January 2025

Este estudo analisa as causas de falhas no processo de estampagem de tampas metálicas fabricadas com folhas de flandres de espessura 0,36 mm. Ensaios mecânicos (tração e análise de anisotropia) e simulações computacionais pelo Método dos Elementos Finitos (MEF) identificaram fatores críticos vinculados às propriedades anisotrópicas do material e aos parâmetros do processo de conformação mecânica. Os resultados experimentais indicaram variações significativas no índice de anisotropia (r) e na resistência mecânica em diferentes direções de laminação, enquanto a simulação computacional destacou regiões suscetíveis a rupturas e deformações. A análise da Curva Limite de Conformação (CLC) revelou que o ponto crítico de tensão está associado a regiões específicas da peça, influenciadas por parâmetros de processo e variabilidade no material. Este trabalho concluiu que ajustes no ferramental, no controle de dureza do material e nos parâmetros de atrito podem reduzir defeitos como rugas e rompimentos, garantindo maior confiabilidade no produto final.

Authors: Kuznetsova Alla S. , Dolgushina Anastasia I. , Genkel Vadim V.
Published: January 2025

Highlights

The severity of liver steatosis is inversely correlated with the echogenicity of carotid atherosclerotic plaques in middle-aged patients with carotid atherosclerosis.

Hepatorenal index is an ultrasound marker of hypoechoic carotid atherosclerotic plaques.

The inclusion of liver steatosis in cardiovascular risk stratification systems can potentially improve the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events.

 

Annotation

Aim. To study the relationship between hepatorenal index (HRI) and echogenicity of carotid atherosclerotic plaques (CAP).

Methods. The study included patients with CVD risk factors. The patients' age ranged from 40 to 64 years. The ultrasound study of the brachiocephalic arteries was carried out in standard modes. Echogenicity of CAP in carotid arteries was assessed by GSM-analysis. HRI was defined as the ratio of the median gray scale of the liver to the median gray scale of the kidney. Severity of hepatic steatosis was determined by semiquantitative method using Hamaguchi scale.

Results. 139 patients underwent examination according to a unified protocol. Among those patients 104 were selected for the analysis. Assessing the relationship between echogenicity of carotid CAPs, Hamaguchi scale score and HRI, we have found inverse statistically significant correlations. The median GSM of CAP in the study group was 57,0 (39,7; 80,0) conventional units. In order to determine the potential diagnostic value of Hamaguchi scale and HRI for detecting CAPs with lower than median echogenicity for the given group of patients, we performed ROC analysis. According to logistic regression analysis adjusted for sex, age, obesity, and abdominal obesity, an increase in HRI greater than 1,34 was associated with increased odds ratio of carotid CAPs with GSM < 57 conventional units (less than 50th percentile) by a factor of 2,66 (95% CI 1,09–6,45; p = 0,031), whereas the increase associated with CAPs with GSM < 39,7 conventional units (less than 25th  percentile) was 2,95-fold (95% CI 1,08–8,08; p = 0,035).

Conclusion. The severity of hepatic steatosis as assessed by the Hamaguchi scale and HRI was inversely correlated with the echogenicity of carotid CAPs in middle-aged patients with carotid atherosclerosis. An increase in HRI > 1,34 with 65,8% probability predicted the presence of carotid CAPs with a GSM of less than 57. Odds ratio of carotid CAPs with GSM < 57 conventional units (less than the 50th percentile) and GSM < 39,7 (less than 25th percentile) with HRI values > 1,34 were 2,66 and 2,95, respectively, after adjustment for intervening factors.

Published: January 2025

Highlights

The main surgical interventions for aortic valve pathology at the aortic root site are aortic valve replacement and redo replacement. The Ozaki procedure emerged in the last decade; it involves replacement of the aortic valve using autologous pericardium. Despite the fact that many centers perform the Ozaki procedure frequently, there are few studies on the comparative evaluation of its efficacy. This necessitated the present study, which compares three groups of patients operated on using different techniques.

 

Aim. To compare the short- and medium-term results of the Ozaki procedure and aortic valve replacements using mechanical and biological valves.

Methods. The retrospective study included 189 patients operated on for aortic malformation at the Cardiac Surgery Department of Sechenov University from 2017 to 2022. Three groups of patients were formed: patients undergoing Ozaki procedure were included in the Ozaki group (70 patients), patients undergoing aortic valve replacement using mechanical prosthesis were included in the Mechanical valve group (62 patients), and patients undergoing aortic valve replacement using biological prosthesis were included in the Biovalve group (57 patients). The Ozaki procedure was performed in case the diameter of the aortic annulus was ≤ 25 mm. All mid-term outcomes were assessed after at least 6 months (mean follow up period was 20 months). The primary end points were mean and peak aortic valve gradient, 30-day mortality in the short-term postoperative period, and midterm mortality (≥ 6 months).

Results. The mean gradient in the Ozaki, Biovalve, and Mechanical valve groups were 10.67 ± 7.15, 15.94 ± 21, and 17.87 ± 7.52 mm Hg. The peak gradient in the Ozaki group decreased from 81.7 ± 32.5 to 21.01 ± 13.22 mm Hg (in the in-hospital setting). 6 months after surgery, the peak gradient values were 18.98 ± 16.17 mm Hg. The in-hospital mortality rates in the Ozaki, Mechanical valve and Biovalve groups were 2.86, 5.26, and 6.45%, respectively. The overall mid-term mortality in three groups was 6/189, 3.17% (95% CI: 1.5–6.07), p = 0.172.

Conclusion. In the short- and mid-term period, Ozaki procedure is superior to aortic valve replacement techniques in terms of aortic valve pressure gradient and comparable in terms of mortality.

Highlights

The review presents the analysis of long-term outcomes of implantation of the most common types of conduits in children. Predictors of the development of dysfunction and infective endocarditis are presented.

 

Aim. To analyze the function of the available types of conduits in pediatric group of patients who underwent right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction.

Methods. The retrospective study included patients between 0 and 18 years old who underwent RVOT reconstruction using conduits between 2000 and 2017. Clinical records and imaging data were analyzed.

Results. A total of 400 patients underwent implantation of 495 conduits including glutaraldehyde (GA)-treated bovine jugular vein (contegra) (n = 181); GA-treated xenopericardial conduit (BioLAB) (n = 84); diepoxyde (DE)-treated xenopericardial conduit with porcine aortic root (AB-composite) (n = 65); DE-treated xenopericardial conduit (Pilon) (n = 32) and cryopreserved pulmonary homograft (n = 135). Primary implantation was made in 383 cases (77.3%) and conduit reimplantation was made in 112 cases (22.5%). Median follow-up was 79.9 (42.6; 110.7) months. Redo surgery with conduit replacement was made in 41 (8.5%) cases, of these, 6 (2.1%) conduits were replaced due to thrombosis, endocarditis was diagnosed in 14 patients (4.8%), there were no statistical differences between the groups. Younger age was associated with high risk of early dysfunction (OR 0.97; 95% CI 0.96–0.99, p = 0.03). Multivariate analysis revealed that the type of conduit was not a risk factor (OR 0,86; 95% CI 0,64–1,15; p = 0,64). Severe calcification was the main predictor of conduit-associated mortality (OR 0.02; 95% CI 0.002–0.34; p = 0.005).

Conclusion. Incidence of reintervention due to conduit dysfunction is still high in pediatric group and is not associated with type of conduit. All types of available conduits showed comparable rates of dysfunction. Risk of developing conduit-associated infective endocarditis also does not depend on the type of implanted graft.

Highlights

This review presents a clinical case of a patient with a rare combination of two life-threatening pathologies whose treatment required high-tech surgery. The effectiveness of a multidisciplinary approach to treatment has been demonstrated.

 

Annotation

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart disease in elderly patients requiring treatment. Malignant neoplasms of the kidneys account for about 3% of all cancers in the Russian Federation, and the formation of tumor thrombi in the renal and inferior vena cava occurs in 4–10% of patients with this pathology. Given the prevalence of aortic stenosis and renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the number of patients with a combination of these two conditions keeps increasing and they are recommended to undergo surgical treatment at multidisciplinary clinical centers. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and radical nephrectomy with intracorporeal thrombectomy using the DaVinci Si robotic surgical system may be a preferred approach for the treatment of critical AS and RCC for this category of patients.

At the multidisciplinary clinical center a patient with dysfunctional bioprosthetic aortic valve implanted in 2010 and NYHA class 3 heart failure with history of endovascular treatment of coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease and carotid endarterectomy and concomitant renal cell carcinoma with tumor thrombosis of the renal vein received surgical treatment in 2 stages: TAVI – the first stage, and robot-assisted right-sided nephrectomy and thrombectomy from the renal vein – the second stage. The patient was discharged from the Center on the 7th day after TAVI and on the 6th day after surgery for renal cancer. Six months after the procedure, there was a decrease in the functional class of heart failure, satisfactory function of the transcatheter aortic valve bioprosthesis, decrease in the size of the left ventricle, decrease in the brain natriuretic peptide, and the absence of cancer progression.

Published: January 2025

The present study reports the synthesis of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/nanoclay-based nanocomposites via melt compounding using a twin extruder process. PMMA was chosen as a matrix material and various weight fractions of nanoclay (NC) nanoparticles (1 wt.% and 2 wt.%) were used as reinforcement. The processed nanocomposites were comprehensively characterized through simple indentation analysis, scratch analysis, and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analysis. The variation in the mechanical properties with the addition of various wt. % of nanoclay in the composites was examined. The estimation of the mechanical aspects of the nanocomposites showed that the utilization of Nanoclay as a reinforcing factor increased specific strength of polymer. The morphological analysis depicted the formation of composites with uniform dispersion of nanoclay within the polymer matrix. The successful compatibilization in Nanoclay and the polymer pattern developed the engineering attributes. Finally, this event may combine the design aimed at the formation of a different compatibilized Nanoclay founded blend concerning dental treatments.

Developing eco-friendly approaches for Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis stands as a pivotal catalyst in advancing the principles of green chemistry. Presently, plant-based extraction methods have effectively demonstrated their efficacy in the synthesis of Cobalt nanoparticles (CoNPs). This succinct review presents an inclusive overview of the methodologies, advantages, and recent research endeavors about producing CoNPs employing green synthesis approaches involving plants, bacteria, and fungi.
Determination of Mequitazine in Tablets by Difference Spectrophotometry Based on the Absorption of its Sulfoxide
Authors: Blazheyevskiy Mykola , Iurchenko Ivan
Published: January 2025

A new method is described for the rapid determination of (R)-(+)-Mequitazine.  The drug is determined by a difference spectrophotometric technique based upon the absorbance of its sulphoxide derivative relative to the absorbance of a solution of the underivatized drug. The sulphoxide derivative are formed rapidly and quantitatively at room temperature by the addition of a solution of potassium caroate in form Oxone. The difference absorbance of the solutions is proportional to the concentration of the Mequitazine in the preparation and is specific for the intact drug in the presence of oxidative and photochemical decomposition products and excipients. Linearity range 1.00–35.00 µg/mL. The regression line equation is ΔA (342 nm) =0.05×C (r=0.99) where C is in µg/ml Mequitazine. The limit of quantitation, LOQ (10S), is 1.0 µg/mL. The possibility of quantitative determination of Mequitazin in Primalan 10 mg tablets has been demonstrated. RSD ≤ 1.5%; ((– µ) 100%/µ =+0.80%). ‘µ’ is data of quantitative determination by the reference pharmacopoeial method.

Published: January 2025

An oversimplified corrosion inhibition experiment suitable for the laboratory practice for undergraduate students was developed. The different simplifications to the standard procedure of the corrosion inhibition experiment were tested. Using the examples of steel corrosion inhibition in sulfuric acid by sodium tungstate, and in hydrochloric acid by succinic acid, it was shown that the obtained results remain representative even if the experiment is performed very roughly and inaccurately. During the standard laboratory 3-hour session, both the gravimetric and electrochemical experiments in uninhibited medium with three different inhibitor concentrations could be performed by the students. The typical methodical instructions for the students and instructors were developed. The proposed laboratory experiment was tested during an academic year with the master-level students in Novosibirsk State University.

Published: January 2025

Nickel-based catalysts directing selectivity for the reduction of nitroarenes reduction have drawn a lot of attention; yet, they have not yielded considerable accomplishments. Here, we report an environmentally friendly method for synthesizing a nickel-based carbon-supported nanocatalyst that is easily synthesized using lignin residues. The carbon-supported nickel nanoparticle catalysts generated from lignocellulosic biomass were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The present catalytic system not only shows outstanding performance with an excellent anilines output but also shows an environmentally friendly catalytic process with simple separation, easy operations, reuse and recycle.

This study aimed to extract oil and fat from three insect species: Gromphadorhina portentosa, Blaberus giganteus, and Tenebrio molitor, analyzing its fatty acid composition and antimicrobial potential. Oils and fats were extracted from each species. Subsequent analysis focused on their fatty acid profiles, particularly examining the ratios of monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, including the ratios of monounsaturated to polyunsaturated fatty acids and omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. The broth microdilution method evaluated the antimicrobial potential against standard American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strains. T. molitor yielded the highest extraction (21.98%), with major fatty acids identified as C18:1, C18:2w6, and C16:1. The oils from G. portentosa and B. giganteus also contained C18:1, C18:2w6, and C16:0. Principal component analysis distinguished T. molitor oil by its C15:0 and C23:0 content. All oils were rich in monounsaturated fatty acids, with T. molitor and B. giganteus showing higher levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Although no significant antimicrobial activity was observed, the oils exhibited high nutritional potential. Further research is needed to optimize cultivation and extraction processes for G. portentosa and B. giganteus to enhance their economic viability.
A010: The Effect of Coordinated Bilateral Movements on Selective
Attention in Fourth Graders
Authors: Zong Chenjun , Wang Xiaozan , Wu Rui
Published: January 2025

Introduction: Selective attention is a core component of
children and adolescents' intelligence and a source of individual
differences. The status of selective attention of children and adolescents
in China is not optimistic. In foreign countries, coordinated bilateral
movement can help improve children’s and adolescents' attention. The fact
that Chinese parents, schools, and society know little about coordinated
bilateral movement, teachers in Chinese physical education and health
programs almost never intentionally train students in this area.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore whether
coordinated bilateral exercise can improve the selective attention levels of
Chinese children and adolescents, so as to facilitate parents and schools to
convey a healthy and effective learning and living method for students to
carry out efficient exercise.

Methods: In this experimental study, various measurement
methods and mathematical statistics methods were adopted using the d2
attention test scale as a measurement tool. Fourth grade students of
Shenzhen Longhua Central Primary School from class 1 to class 4 were
selected as the experimental participants, with 49 students allocated to the
experimental class (class 1 and class 2) and 49 students to the control
class (class 2 and class 3), with a total of 92 students within the sample.
Data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0 software to explore the factors affecting
the changes in students' selective attention using analysis of variance
tests (ANOVA), repeated measures ANOVA, and paired samples t-tests.

Results: There were significant intervention main effects on
centralized performance CP (F=6.73, p = 0.003, η² = 0.149) and
accuracy E% (F=6.94, p = 0.023, η² = 0.11). There were also
significant time main effects on processing speed TN (F=104.72, p <
0.001), overall performance TN-E (F=118.90, p < 0.001), focused
performance CP (F=76.37, p < 0.001), processing error rate E% (F=38.95, p
< 0.001), and attentional span FR (F=15.61, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The inclusion of short bursts of coordinated
bilateral movements to break up classroom routines helped children to
maintain and improve their concentration. By helping children find better
ways to learn, schools can reduce more self-control issues, which in turn
improved the academic performance of all pupils. Engaging pupils in
coordinated bilateral movements is an effective strategy for improving the
selective attention of children and adolescents.

Published: January 2025

PURPOSE: School-adaptive behavior refers specifically to the
positive and negative behaviors that individuals exhibit in the school
environment and can be summarized in terms of both social competence and
antisocial behavior. Research has demonstrated that physical activity
contributes positively to an individual's physical and mental health and
quality of life. It can also improve the adjustment difficulties of
adolescents in school and indirectly enhance their school adjustment
ability. This study aimed to examine the relationship between physical
activity levels and school adjustment behaviors, the mediating role of
mental health status, and gender differences among high school students in
Shandong Province.

METHODS: This study used the Physical Activity Questionnaire
for Adolescents, School Social Behavior Scale, and the SCL-90 Symptom
Self-Rating Scale to administer the questionnaire to 9,504 high school
students in Shandong Province. The Cronbach's alpha coefficients of the
questionnaires were tested to be above 0.9. We used descriptive statistics,
independent samples t-test, correlation analysis, linear regression, and
mediation effect tests to analyze the data.

RESULT: The mean age of the respondents was 16.5 years and
47.7% were female. The results indicated that (1) the physical activity and
social competence of high school students were statistically significant in
terms of gender differences (p < 0.01); (2) The physical activity of the
students was significantly and positively correlated with the students’
social competence, negatively correlated with psychological problems (r =
0.122, p < 0.01) (r = -0.115, p < 0.01) and the physical activity (β =
2.245, p < 0.01) (β = -4.489, p < 0.01) and physical activity was a
significant and positive predictor of students' social competence and a
significant negative predictor of psychological problems (β = 2.245, p <
0.01) (β = -4.489, p < 0.01). (3) The indirect effect of physical
activity affecting social competence through mental health status (β =
0.517, 95% BootCI [0.019 – 0.034], p < 0.01), considering the mediating
role of mental health status. So, the student's psychological well-being
partially mediated the relationship between physical activity and social
competence.

CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that the physical activity of
adolescents has an important positive effect on their mental health and
school adaptation social competence dimensions, and physical activity
affects the social competence of high school students not only directly, but
also indirectly through psychological problems. Higher levels of physical
activity help to reduce the emergence of psychological problems and, in
turn, improve students' social competence. Therefore, encouraging physical
activity behavior among adolescents contributes to the development of
healthy psychological and personality traits and enhances school
adjustment.
A109: Toward a Better Understanding of Programming Sport Artistic
Entertainment
Authors: Bo Hannah Huiyuan , Zhang James J.
Published: January 2025

Background/Purpose: Artistic entertainment has been integrated
into live sporting events for nearly a century, offering spectators a unique
and engaging experience. Artistic entertainment activities serve to maintain
audiences’ attention and interest, provide pleasure and delight, and help
achieve gratification (Vorderer et al., 2004; Zillmann & Vorderer,
2000). To boost attendance and enhance the overall game experience, event
managers are updating artistic entertainment offerings (Haidary, 2015).
However, the mechanisms of artistic entertainment in contemporary sports are
not well understood. For example, there are difficulties in using artistic
entertainment effectively because the nuances of programming it based on
gender, sports fandom, or ticket types have never been explored. This study
aimed to address this void by conducting an Importance-Performance Map
Analysis (IPMA) to examine the relative importance of different aspects of
programming artistic entertainment activities in enhancing sport spectators’
game-day experience.

Method: Relevance, appropriateness, variety, local culture,
sensory appeal and integration, information and guidance, engagement and
interaction, evolution and innovation, and quality of sensory elements are
the nine main factors identified in our previous qualitative investigation
on the quality and programming of artistic entertainment. We recruited
spectators who had attended at least one live sporting event in the past six
months to complete a survey measuring these nine factors, consumption
intentions and satisfaction, gender, sport fan identification, and ticket
types. In conjunction with partial least squares structural equation
modeling, data were analyzed using the IPMA, a statistical technique to
identify and prioritize factors based on their performance and importance.
The nine factors’ significance scores were compared across gender, sports
fandom, and ticket types through significance testing, aiming to examine any
notable differences in the perceived importance of these factors among
different spectator groups.

Results: The results of IPMA analyses, which are based on
gender, sports fandom, and ticket types, depicted visual representations of
the relative importance of the nine factors. For instance, when designing
artistic entertainment, factors in the top right quadrant of a matrix were
considered high importance and high performance and thus should be given
priority. Low performance and low priority factors found in the bottom left
quadrant indicated areas to be minimally addressed.

Conclusion/Discussion: Our study adds to event management
literature and emphasizes the benefits and necessity of understanding
artistic entertainment programming for sporting events in a more nuanced
way. Managerially, we will provide IPMA-compliant practical recommendations
for better and seamless integration of marketing initiatives.
A111: A Study on Effect of Learning Martial Arts by Different People
Influenced by Chinese Culture
Authors: Kang Beiqi , Zhao Shengyuan , Li Jinpeng
Published: January 2025

Background/Purpose: To better develop multi-racial education of
practicing and learning martial arts, this essay was written by using case
analysis and information analysis.

Methods: According to the recently HYX 16th World Wushu
Championships, 76.9% athletes who learned about Chinese culture got the
points higher than average. In addition, in the 9th World Kungfu
Championships, 87% athletes had learned about Chinese culture won a prize in
the contest. Meanwhile, we prepared 20 overseas students who started
learning martial arts to identify whether learning Chinese culture was
beneficial to martial arts learning. Every member in this program never
studied Chinese culture and knew little about martial arts. Due to the
gender difference in Chinese martial arts competition penalties, we
recruited ten male and ten female volunteers, each gender of five
individuals per group. Five were in the experimental group and five were in
the control group. Each member of the test group did not receive Chinese
culture-related content after each training session. The control group
learned about Chinese culture after each training session. Each of the
volunteers was between 18 and 22 years old and had a similar body type. We
employed an experimental martial arts competition every Monday with
concurrent scoring. Additionally, the rate of the locomotor performance was
also considered as part of the rating that is rated according to Body Fat
Rate, Heart Rate during exercise, 100 Meter Dash, and Flexibility. Each test
was taken place on the Sunday following three training sessions a week. The
intervention lasted for 5 weeks.

Results: ANCOVA with repeated measures indicated that the
control group had overall higher scores of the games than the experimental
group (F = 7.13, p = 0.005, η2 = 0.117; F = 7.21, p = 0.006,
η2 = 0.113). Beyond that, regarding the results of martial
arts performance, the ANCOVA with repeated rate of each test had overall
lower levels compared to the control group (F = 7.67, p = 0.005,
η2 = 0.129).

Conclusion: This experiment showed that learning relevant
Chinese culture can effectively improve the performance of traditional
martial arts without observing differences by gender or race. Therefore,
learning Chinese culture in the world is an excellent means to promote
Chinese martial arts to the world.
A112: Physical Exercise's Effect on Chinese Students' Negative Emotions
via Sleep and Self-Rated Health
Authors: Mu Fanhzheng , Huo Pengyu , Zhu Weidong , Cheng Xuehao
Published: January 2025

Background: Negative emotions in college students are a
significant factor affecting mental health, with suicide behaviors caused by
negative emotions showing an annual increasing trend. Existing studies
suggest that physical exercise is an important means to alleviate negative
emotions, yet the intrinsic mechanisms by which it affects negative emotions
have not been fully revealed.

Objective: Negative emotions in college students represent a
significant issue affecting mental health. This study investigated the
relationship between physical exercise and negative emotions among college
students, incorporating sleep quality and self-rated health
(SRH) as mediators to analyze the pathway mechanism of
how physical exercise affects students' negative emotions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study design was utilized, employing
online questionnaires for investigation. The scales included the Physical
Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3), the Depression Anxiety
Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality
Index (PSQI), and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey
(SF-12), resulting in the collection of 30,475 valid
questionnaires, with a validity rate of 91%. Chain mediation tests and
Bootstrap methods were applied for effect analysis.

Results: The proportions of university students engaged in low,
medium, and high levels of physical exercise were 77.6%, 13.1%, and 9.3%,
respectively. The proportions of students experiencing "very severe" levels
of stress, anxiety, and depression were 4.5%, 10.9%, and 3.6%, respectively.
Physical exercise was significantly positively correlated with self-rated
health (r = 0.194, P < 0.01), significantly negatively
correlated with sleep quality (r = -0.035, P < 0.01),
and significantly negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression
(r = -0.03, P < 0.01; r = -0.058, P < 0.01; r = -0.055, P
< 0.01). Sleep quality was significantly negatively
correlated with self-rated health (r = -0.242, P <
0.01). Mediation effect testing indicated that sleep quality and
self-rated health partially mediated the relationship between physical
exercise and negative emotions, with total effect, total direct effect, and
total indirect effect values of -1.702, -0.426, and -1.277,
respectively.

Conclusion: College students predominantly engaged in
low-intensity physical exercise, which serves as an effective means to
prevent negative emotions. Sleep quality and self-rated health mediated the
impact of physical exercise on students' negative emotions. A certain level
of physical activity can directly affect students' emotional states and
indirectly influence their negative emotions through sleep and self-rated
health.
A123: The Study of Intervention Effect of Promoting and Inhibiting
Kinesio Tape on Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome
Authors: Wang Ruyun , Wang Runzhe , Yang Zihan , Cui Yunhao , Li Caixia , Zhang Xin , Hou Shilun
Published: January 2025

Background/Purpose: The patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS), which might be
caused by weakness and delayed activation of the vastus medialis obliquus
(VMO), as well as tightness of the vastus lateralis (VL), gravely affects
daily lives and exercises. Kinesio tape (KT) are often used to prevent and
treat musculoskeletal diseases. Different application directions and tension
levels can produce a promoting or inhibitory effect. If KT could improve the
symptoms of PFPS through coordinating imbalanced muscles, it has positive
significance. This study aimed to explore the effects of three KT
application methods on PFPS and compare them with placebo, to explore
possible psychological effects.

Method: Fourteen participants with PFPS (7 males, 7 females,
Mage
= 20.71) were recruited from Beijing Sport University. A
repeated-measures pre-test/post-test design was used in this study. Each
participant completes all four methods (VMO facilitatory, VL inhibitory, VMO
facilitatory & VL inhibitory, white placebo tape) with a washout period
of one week considered between each two methods. Before applications of KT,
participants accept tests such as EMG (Delsys), proprioception (PK254),
static balance (one foot standing test), and pain (VAS), and are immediately
retested after applications. MATLAB 7.13 (MathWorks Inc., Natick, MA, USA)
is used to analyze EMG data, and SPSS 25 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) was
used for statistical analysis, with P < 0.05 set to determine statistical
significance.

Results: The results manifested that after using VMO facilitatory KT, the
static balance is significantly improved (18.752 ± 29.693, P = 0.002), and
the mean VL activity was significantly reduced (2.837 ± 1.532, p = 0.048).
After applying VL inhibitory KT, there was a great improvement in
proprioception (2.666 ± 2.272, p = 0.048) and an increase in the average
activation level of VMO (0.300 ± 0.070, P = 0.036). All four methods greatly
reduced the VAS score of pain (PVMO = 0.002, PVL =
0.001, PVMO & VL = 0.001, Pplacebo = 0.005). The
improvement effect of VMO facilitatory KT was significantly superior to the
other three methods (PVMO-VL < 0.001, PVMO-VMO &
VL < 0.001, PVMO-placebo < 0.001). There was no
distinct difference in terms of the effect of the other three methods. The
difference before and after any other indicator was not obvious.

Conclusion: Consistent with previous literature, our study supported that KT
can enhance functional levels and alleviate symptoms, which has practical
significance for the prognosis of PFPS and early return to exercises.
However, the comparison with placebo also displays that some of the effects
of KT may be attributable to psychological effects, rather than
physiological or mechanical mechanisms. Therefore, in the future, larger
sample sizes should be considered and more variables could be restricted to
explore the issue.
A125: Why Sending Girls to Street-Jazz Class?
Authors: Geng Tingqin , Qiao Xiaoyue
Published: January 2025

Background: Family concept has an intergenerational transmission effect.
Relevant research has indicated that compared to fathers, the influence of
mothers was increasing, especially for girls. Mother’s gender cognition
connected two generations, which is an important entry point to observe
gender cognition. This study aimed to profile the mothers’ gender cognition
by analyzing their motivations of sending their girls to street-jazz class,
to reflect the gender cognition status quo of new-generation mothers in
China.

Methods: Using the semi-structured interview method, we designed the
interview outline “Why do you send your daughter to street-jazz class” to
guide the interviewees to express their motivations freely. Then we
summarized the original data, extracted keywords and statistically analyzed
the frequency of keywords.

Results: 1.) Fundamental information: Twenty mothers were interviewed. One of
them was over 40 years old, others were between 34 and 40, and their girls
were between 5 and 10. Ten had a college degree or higher, and twelve had
full-time jobs. 2.) Motivation: To respect their daughter’s choices ranked
first, included the situation of their intentional guidance. To enhance
self-confidence and expressiveness ranked second. Sharing the girls’ dancing
video and taking them to participate commercial performances were the
mothers' regular choices. To cultivate femininity ranked third. To improve
health condition ranked forth. They thought under the current education
system in China, children in this age obviously do not get enough exercise
at school, so they supported their children to do extra exercise on
weekends. To lose weight ranked fifth.

Discussion: Respect, confidence, femininity and keeping slim were the
keywords to profile the gender cognition of the new-generation mothers.
Respect showed that “you needn’t have to be what I want you to be” had
become the underlying logic of this generation of mothers. The emphasis on
girls’ self-confidence reflected that inner identity had become an important
yardstick for this generation of women to recognize themselves and identify
with other females. However, it is noteworthy that the expression of
“beauty” as the object to be seen and “female charm” as a gender
attractiveness were still emphasized by most interviewees. Femininity was
mentioned and emphasized more than the sense of power that girls displayed
in jazz-dance. Thus, there was a contradiction: on the one hand, their
gender cognition overflowed the traditional gender discipline, and on the
other hand, they were more in line with the traditional gender
cognition.
