AbstractIn the digital age, human-algorithm interaction has become ubiquitous. The popularity of short-form video apps has led to greater access to and experience with algorithmic recommender systems, but it has also exposed their potential problems and dark sides. However, there is still limited knowledge about the dark side of over-recommendation from the perspective of user perception, especially regarding the negative impact on users’ psychology and behavior. Drawing on social cognitive theory, this study constructed a theoretical model to investigate how information environment factors influence users’ cognitive dissonance and discontinuance intention under the antecedent dimension of perceived over-recommendation. The model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling on 322 valid questionnaires from users of Chinse mass short video apps (eg, Douyin). The results showed that when users perceived over-recommendation, information narrowing, information redundancy, perceived overload, and privacy invasion significantly increased their cognitive dissonance, ultimately leading to discontinuance intention. Notably, cognitive dissonance fully mediated the relationship between the information environment and discontinuance intention, and self-efficacy did not play a significant moderating role. Additionally, the local path effects varied significantly across groups with different characteristics. To maintain the sustainability of short video platforms, it is crucial to explore moderate recommendation mechanisms. User-centered functionality improvements and differentiated behavioral interventions can help mitigate negative psychology and discontinuance intention among users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing in China, with medication non-adherence being a significant contributor to uncontrolled T2DM. The Transtheoretical Model (TTM) has shown effectiveness in chronic disease management, but few studies have applied it in online interventions for T2DM medication adherence. Aim: The study aimed to develop and investigate the effects of a TTM-based online health education program on promoting positive stage of change (SOC) movement, improving self-efficacy and medication adherence, as well as reducing HbA1c levels in newly diagnosed patients with T2DM. Methods: This sequential mixed-method study was conducted from April 2023 to March 2024. Using the TTM framework, the study initially explored 32 participants' experiences with hypoglycemic medications, health information acquisition, and perspectives on online programs. Then, a quasi-experimental study design was conducted. Two communities were randomly assigned as the intervention (n = 91) and comparison (n = 98) groups, with 189 newly diagnosed middle-aged T2DM patients from various SOC. The intervention group received short videos health education and participated in WeChat group discussions, compared with usual care in the comparison group. Data were collected at baseline, 3-month, and 6-month follow-ups. Results: The intervention group was more likely to achieve positive SOC movement (P <.001, Adj OR = 13.69 95% CI = 6.76-27.71) compared to the comparison group. The intervention group also had significantly higher mean CDMSS-11 and MMAS-8 scores at 6 months (P =.03 and <.001, respectively) and more likely to achieve clinically significant glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) change at 3 months (P <.001, Adj OR = 3.91, 95% CI = 1.77-8.63) and at 6 months (P <.001, Adj OR = 5.62, 95% CI = 2.70-11.69) compared to the comparison group. Conclusion: These findings support that applying the TTM to develop an online program could promote behavior change, improve self-efficacy and medication adherence, and could lead to better glycemic control in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.

In the current media ecosystem, marked by hyperconnectivity and technological advances, social networks constitute windows of access to different content for a large part of the population, even more so after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, cultural institutions such as museums develop different communicative strategies in these networks, as in TikTok, adapting to their narrative codes. This research aims to study the communicative strategies of European museums through their TikTok profiles. To this end, a methodology based on quantitative and qualitative parameters is used, based on the case study of the official accounts of the Museo del Prado and the Museo Thyssen in Madrid (Spain), The National Gallery in London (UK), the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam (Netherlands) and the Galleria degli Uffizi in Florence (Italy), analysing 1,544 videos. The results point to a disparity in the communication strategies of the museums studied. However, they coincide in the publications that refer to the masterpieces as the most popular and the option of the sound provided by the application as the type of audio mostly used.

This work addresses the challenges of scene segmentation and low segmentation accuracy in short videos by employing virtual reality (VR) technology alongside a 3D DenseNet model for real-time segmentation in dynamic scenes. First, this work extracted short videos by frame and removed redundant background information. Then, the volume rendering algorithm in VR technology was used to reconstruct short videos in dynamic scenes in 3D. It enriched the detailed information of short videos, and finally used the 3D DenseNet model for real-time segmentation of short videos in dynamic scenes, improving the accuracy of segmentation. The experiment compared the performance of High resolution network, Mask region based convolutional neural network, 3D U-Net, Efficient neural network models on the Densely annotation video segmentation dataset. The experimental results showed that the segmentation accuracy of the 3D DenseNet model has reached 99.03%, which was 15.11% higher than that of the ENet model. The precision rate reached 98.33%, and the average segmentation time reached 0.64 s, improving the segmentation accuracy and precision rate. It can adapt to various scene situations and has strong robustness. The significance of this research lies in its innovative approach in tackling these issues. By integrating VR technology with advanced deep learning models, we can achieve more precise segmentation of dynamic scenes in short videos, enabling real-time processing. This has significant practical implications for fields such as video editing, VR applications, and intelligent surveillance. Furthermore, the outcomes of this research contribute to advancing computer vision in video processing, providing valuable insights for the development of future intelligent video processing systems.

The elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and regression analysis were used to investigate the impact of furniture brands’ communication strategies on consumer behavior through short video platforms. The work examined a set of representative short videos, analyzing how key features—such as content theme, duration (16-60 seconds), graphics, subtitles, background music, and title style—affected communication effectiveness. The ELM model uncovered the correlation between these video characteristics and the Communication Effect Index (DCI), with statistical significance confirmed by regression. Findings indicated that live broadcasts, graphical presentations, subtitles/topics, upbeat music, and exclamatory titles significantly enhanced communication efficiency. Limitations, including time-period sampling bias, sample size, and item duplication in the ELM application, were also considered. Based on these findings, the research offers optimization suggestions and future directions for furniture enterprises in leveraging short video marketing.

With the surge in network traffic, the homogenization of short video content is becoming increasingly prominent, resulting in low-quality entertainment due to proliferation and infringement. Therefore, recognizing visual homogeneity in short videos is of great significance. Considering the extremely similar dynamic evolution in specific regions from intra and inter-frames, introducing region-aware attention is attractive to achieve homogenization recognition. Therefore, we propose a region-aware spatiotemporal Transformer (RaSTFormer) for visual homogenization recognition, including: (1) a region-aware Transformer encoder is designed to extract multi-region frame-level features from short videos; (2) a multi-layer spatiotemporal Transformer decoder is used to aggregate multi-region frame-level features, generating shot-level spatiotemporal features; and (3) measuring symmetric shot-level chamfer similarity to recognize visual homogeneous content. Specially, we established a real-world video homogenization dataset, BJUT-HCD, and conducted extensive experiments. The proposed RaSTFormer achieved the highest mean average precision (mAP) of 98.13% and a top-1 accuracy of 99.37%, outperforming SOTA methods. The results show that our method achieves competitive performance in visual homogenization recognition in short videos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Short video platforms have problems with increased competition and low advertising conversion rates. Although social presence is closely related to consumer engagement, research regarding the impact of social presence on consumer engagement in short video-embedded advertisements is sparse. We developed a theoretical model, namely a social presence–flow experience–advertising avoidance–advertising engagement model, and explored the mechanism underlying advertising engagement from a psychological and behavioral perspective. The analysis of 563 short video users revealed that the model exhibited excellent explanatory power for advertising engagement (R2 = 41.3%). Social presence can increase consumers' advertising engagement by enhancing flow experience and reducing advertising avoidance. Meanwhile, the flow experience, by diminishing advertising avoidance, generates a serial mediation effect between social presence and advertising engagement. This study emphasizes social presence's applicability and influence mechanism in short video-embedded advertisements, a unidirectional information delivery. It provides new theoretical perspectives and practical advice for relevant practitioners. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Short videos are gaining popularity among Chinese netizens who use them to socialize and express themselves online, particularly during disasters. This study examines the characteristics of an emotional atmosphere through short video comments. We developed the Multimodal Social Short Video Crawler V1.0 to analyze 157,747 comments from 343 short videos about the "Zhengzhou flood." First, we categorized comments into clusters and calculated cluster density using complex network analysis methods. Second, we employed computer-mediated content analysis to derive sentiment values in clusters. To capture the emotional atmosphere in short videos accurately, we developed a trust model to assign weights to both cluster density and sentiment value. Our findings reveal that the emotional atmosphere in short video comments indicates continuity and clustering traits. Furthermore, a correlation was found between cluster size and emotional valence, with the relationship trend varying between macro- and micro-clusters. Regarding theoretical contributions, this study enriches the theory of emotional atmosphere by proposing a mathematical model of emotional atmosphere that combines machine learning and complex network analysis, and introduces cluster density and emotional value calculation methods. Concurrently, this study highlights emotion's importance in short video comments, which can enhance disaster response efforts in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Short video advertisements are a novel and influential medium for promoting furniture products, but their effects on consumers’ purchase intentions remain underexplored. This study applies the extended stimulus-organism-response (SOR) framework, a psychological theory that elucidates how stimuli (short video ads), organisms (consumers), and responses (purchase intentions) are interrelated. This study quantitatively examines these relationships using structural equation modeling (SEM). The results reveal that the Flow experience and Telepresence experience significantly affect purchase intentions, indicating that consumers who experience high levels of engagement and immersion while viewing short furniture-related video ads are more likely to exhibit buying behavior. This study also identifies three critical antecedents of the Telepresence experience: social influence, perceived entertainment value, and perceived interactivity. These factors may enhance the effectiveness of short-form video advertising by increasing consumer interaction and engagement. Moreover, convenience conditions, perceived entertainment value, and media richness significantly influence consumers’ flow experience. This suggests that these factors should be considered when designing short video advertisements to optimize consumers’ flow experience and thus increase purchase intentions. This study provides empirical evidence for the SOR framework, investigates the impact of short video advertisements on furniture consumers’ purchase intention, and offers practical implications and recommendations for marketing practitioners.

In order to furnish valuable insights and solutions applicable to content creators, social media platforms, academic research, and general users, this investigation integrates the Internet of Things (IoT) with deep learning regression models to examine methodologies for predicting the popularity of short videos. Within the context of cross-cultural communication, a proposed Content Popularity Rank Prediction based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CPRP-CNN) model relies exclusively on the personal attributes of the publisher and the textual characteristics of short videos to anticipate the viewership levels of short videos promptly following their release. Through simulated experiments, the model’s performance is assessed, revealing that the utilization of the Rectified Linear Unit (Relu) activation function in the CPRP-CNN model enhances accuracy by 42.2% when contrasted with the use of the sigmoid function. This enhancement is coupled with a 37.8% reduction in cross-entropy loss. Furthermore, the proposed CPRP-CNN model attains a cross-entropy of 0.692 and an accuracy of 74.7%, exhibiting superior Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) values of 2.728 and 1.751, respectively, when compared to alternative prediction models. These outcomes signify that the amalgamation of deep learning models with fused features within the IoT context significantly ameliorates the predictive efficacy of short video popularity. The research findings contribute to the enhancement of personalized and precise short video content recommendations.

Abstract\nPoints of interestHuman visual experience is increasingly mediated. As technology facilitates the sharing of diverse images, understanding the world through photography and videos is crucial. However, visuality affects the digital existence of communities with visual impairments. Focusing on the short-video consumption of individuals with visual impairments, this study examines their media experiences in a visually dominant society. Considering its social and technical setting, China is the ideal research site. Using constructivist grounded theory, we implemented open coding on raw data, highlighting initial categories associated with the usage of short-video applications. Contrary to the perception that those with visual impairments are more likely to use auditory-focused devices, we found that this population uses short video apps for entertainment, work, and social interactions and found design barriers and limited accessibility to be additional challenges. This study explains how digital media promotes inclusion and suggests possibilities for more inclusive digital-media development.In today’s society, where visual information is pervasive, the ways in which people with visual impairments engage with media are often overlooked.This study explores how people with visual impairments in China consume short videos. Despite facing challenges in watching these videos, they are able to engage with short video apps by listening to audio and using touch screen functionalities.People with visual impairments use short videos to socialise, which helps enhance their sense of inclusion within society.While expressing themselves on short video platforms, people with visual impairments may inadvertently contribute to the amplification of public prejudice towards their community.In this research conducted in China, participants with visual impairments shared two main aspirations: to access information easily without barriers and to be accepted and recognised in society without conditions.In today’s society, where visual information is pervasive, the ways in which people with visual impairments engage with media are often overlooked.This study explores how people with visual impairments in China consume short videos.

Modern mobile technologies that allow the quick creation of short videos provide users with ample opportunities to present their information in public space. Teenagers have become the most active users of new forms of creativity, so their self-presentations on video platforms deserve attention. This study uses content analysis to examine the features of Chinese adolescents' selfpresentation on Douyin, the Chinese TikTok counterpart, and the cultural factors that determine these features. We discovered that teenagers' self-presentation is characterized, firstly, by the creation of a virtual identity based on the real one, secondly, by freedom in the choice of role behavior, and thirdly, by the idealization of their image and various means of its formation. In addition to the impact of social, commercial, and network values, we also found the influence of traditional Chinese culture. Cultural stereotypes formed by upbringing are reflected in the forms of self-presentation (from external style to way of thinking) by the modern younger generation on social networks. We noted the role of celebrity culture in the daily lives of teenagers. In the future, studying the role of Chinese adolescents in the social information system, especially at the stage of changes in their self-perception and self-presentation, seems relevant.

Abstract Background and Aim The aim of this study was to assess the quality and content of videos on Douyin and TikTok for their educational role on early screening of rectal cancer (RC). Methods We conducted a search for videos related to RC on the Douyin and TikTok applications on 20 April 2023. The search was conducted in Chinese on Douyin and in English and Japanese on TikTok. A sample of the first 100 videos recommended by the software was selected for each language group. The content of the videos was evaluated using a content scorecard, while the quality of the videos was assessed using DISCERN. Subsequently, we conducted two partial correlations: one between the DISCERN score and the number of likes, and another between the video content score and the number of likes. Results This study encompassed a total of 89 Chinese, 54 English, and 51 Japanese videos. After selection, 78 Chinese, 38 English, and 25 Japanese videos were identified to contain content related to early screening for RC, prompting further quality assessment. Notably, videos in the Chinese language showed the highest DISCERN score (P 0.05). Conclusion In terms of quality score and content score, the Chinese videos on Douyin show superiority over the English and Japanese videos on TikTok. However, there is potential for improving the overall appeal of the Chinese videos.

Abstract Background The utilization of short videos by individuals often leads to the emergence of information exchange behavior. Previous studies have shown that certain students with psychological disorders exhibit addictive tendencies towards short video-related software. Therefore, it is essential to address the psychology and behavior of college students with psychological disorders while engaging with short videos. This study aims to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders. Methods We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 college students afflicted by psychological disorders in a prefecture-level city in Henan Province, China from September to December 2022. Based on the Grounded theory, we encoded 30 text materials across three levels to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, and subsequently build a model framework. Results The findings of this study suggest that college students with psychological disorders exhibit negative cognition tendencies that can lead to strongly negative emotions, excacerbated by a lack of social support. These adverse factors collectively drive the consumption of short video content in this demographic, providing a virtual environment where they can fulfill their unmet social needs. Therefore, the mechanism governing short video messages interaction among college students with psychological disorders encompasses negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. Conclusions This study comprehensively analyzes the motivation and complexity of college students with psychological disorders in short video interaction. Although short videos provide this group with some ways of self-expression and emotional support, they still have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. The short video interaction of college students with psychological disorders is affected by many factors, including their negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. These findings deepened our understanding to the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, also provided us with guidance on facilitating the proper use of short video and maintaining the mental health. In future researches, researchers can discuss more about intervention measures to help this demographic cope with the challenges from short video interaction.

Therefore, this study investigated the effects of excessive short video use on anxiety, depression, prospective memory, and academically delayed gratification (ADOG) in relation to online gaming-related behaviours, and explored the possible mechanisms by which excessive online gaming and short video use may lead to decreased ADOG, to expand our understanding of excessive short video use.Methods: Based on the whole class random sampling method, a questionnaire survey was conducted among college students in Northern Anhui, China from May 7 to July 27, 2022. The questionnaires included the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Patient Health Questionnaire Scale (PHQ-9), Prospective and Retrospective Memory (PRM) Questionnaire, and ADOG Scale.Results: A total of 1016 participants completed the survey. The study found that of all the internet behaviors, 20.8% of the college students mainly played online games, 43.9% mainly played short videos, and 35.3% conducted other online behaviors. When compared with other internet behaviors, online gaming and short video behaviors can cause more serious anxiety/depression and worse PRM and ADOG scores. As time spent playing online games and short videos increased, anxiety and depression became worse, and the scores for PRM and ADOG also declined. Anxiety, depression, and PRM mediate the relationship between time spent on online gaming/short videos and ADOG.Conclusion: Excessive short videos behaviour may produce the same psychological problems and learning problems as online gaming disorder. Excessive short video and online gaming behaviors may affect ADOG performance through anxiety, depression, and prospective memory. These findings could be used as a basis for future studies on the improvement of ADOG.Keywords: short video, online games, anxiety, depression, prospective memory, academic delay of gratification

Abstract Background Video health education has been increasingly adopted in the clinic to expand patient guidance and improve perioperative outcomes. To date, however, it is unclear whether the use of short-form videos and web-based clinician-created forums actually improve the perioperative experience of patients. Objective To evaluate the effect of application of short-form video health education on the health knowledge and satisfaction with nursing care of patients with lower extremity fractures. Methods This study is a quasi experimental study, using convenient sampling method and grouping according to historical control., one hundred and twenty-two patients admitted with lower limb fractures to the orthopedic ward of a tertiary first-class general hospital in Fujian, China were enrolled in this study. Based on their admission order, patients admitted from September 2021 to November 2021 were enrolled into the control group (n = 61) and patients admitted from December 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled in the intervention group (n = 61). Both groups received identical admission-based patient education, perioperative care, and discharge rehabilitation instructions. The control group received the traditional education method while the intervention group received a short-form educational video in addition to the traditional education method. Patient perioperative health knowledge and patient satisfaction with nursing care during treatment of lower limb fractures were compared across the two groups. Results Preoperative health knowledge in the intervention group was 95.1%, compared to 82.0% in the control group (χ 2 = 3.954, P

The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, particularly the deployment of generative AI in the creation of short videos, has exposed the anachronistic and incomplete nature of the copyright limitations and exceptions (L&E) within the Copyright Law of China. The US jurisprudential approach, characterized by the four-factor fair use analysis and the doctrine of transformative use, has been embraced in China by courts as 'general legal principles'. These principles have been localized within the restrictive framework of the Berne Convention's three-step test. However, the application of these principles to China's burgeoning AI and AI-generated content industry, exemplified by the short video sector, reveals a complex landscape. The purposes behind the utilization of copyrighted works are multifaceted, and the intense rivalry between 'long' and 'short' videos that represent established and emerging giant Internet platform enterprises further muddies the waters in the application of the American 'purpose transformation' concept. A better alternative would be to seek guidance from the Copyright Law of Japan. By grounding decisions in pre-existing, enumerated copyright exceptions, systematically categorizing L&E scenarios, and delineating key considerations for various categories, the judiciary can be steered towards a more nuanced and equitable resolution of individual cases and strike a balance between the interest of copyright holders, Internet users, and the emerging Internet platform enterprises.

Background and Aim: The aim of this study was to assess the quality and content of videos on Douyin and TikTok for their educational role on early screening of rectal cancer (RC). Methods: We conducted a search for videos related to RC on the Douyin and TikTok applications on 20 April 2023. The search was conducted in Chinese on Douyin and in English and Japanese on TikTok. A sample of the first 100 videos recommended by the software was selected for each language group. The content of the videos was evaluated using a content scorecard, while the quality of the videos was assessed using DISCERN. Subsequently, we conducted two partial correlations: one between the DISCERN score and the number of likes, and another between the video content score and the number of likes. Results: This study encompassed a total of 89 Chinese, 54 English, and 51 Japanese videos. After selection, 78 Chinese, 38 English, and 25 Japanese videos were identified to contain content related to early screening for RC, prompting further quality assessment. Notably, videos in the Chinese language showed the highest DISCERN score (P < 0.05). In terms of partial correlation analysis, it was observed that both the content score and DISCERN score did not show a significant correlation with the number of likes (P > 0.05). Conclusion: In terms of quality score and content score, the Chinese videos on Douyin show superiority over the English and Japanese videos on TikTok. However, there is potential for improving the overall appeal of the Chinese videos. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The utilization of short videos by individuals often leads to the emergence of information exchange behavior. Previous studies have shown that certain students with psychological disorders exhibit addictive tendencies towards short video-related software. Therefore, it is essential to address the psychology and behavior of college students with psychological disorders while engaging with short videos. This study aims to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with 30 college students afflicted by psychological disorders in a prefecture-level city in Henan Province, China from September to December 2022. Based on the Grounded theory, we encoded 30 text materials across three levels to explore the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, and subsequently build a model framework. Results: The findings of this study suggest that college students with psychological disorders exhibit negative cognition tendencies that can lead to strongly negative emotions, excacerbated by a lack of social support. These adverse factors collectively drive the consumption of short video content in this demographic, providing a virtual environment where they can fulfill their unmet social needs. Therefore, the mechanism governing short video messages interaction among college students with psychological disorders encompasses negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. Conclusions: This study comprehensively analyzes the motivation and complexity of college students with psychological disorders in short video interaction. Although short videos provide this group with some ways of self-expression and emotional support, they still have a negative impact on their physical and mental health. The short video interaction of college students with psychological disorders is affected by many factors, including their negative cognitive tendencies, negative emotions, lack of social support, post-video-watching behaviors, and the gratification of social needs within the confines of a virtual environment. These findings deepened our understanding to the mechanism of short video information interaction behavior among college students with psychological disorders, also provided us with guidance on facilitating the proper use of short video and maintaining the mental health. In future researches, researchers can discuss more about intervention measures to help this demographic cope with the challenges from short video interaction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Video health education has been increasingly adopted in the clinic to expand patient guidance and improve perioperative outcomes. To date, however, it is unclear whether the use of short-form videos and web-based clinician-created forums actually improve the perioperative experience of patients. Objective: To evaluate the effect of application of short-form video health education on the health knowledge and satisfaction with nursing care of patients with lower extremity fractures. Methods: This study is a quasi experimental study, using convenient sampling method and grouping according to historical control., one hundred and twenty-two patients admitted with lower limb fractures to the orthopedic ward of a tertiary first-class general hospital in Fujian, China were enrolled in this study. Based on their admission order, patients admitted from September 2021 to November 2021 were enrolled into the control group (n = 61) and patients admitted from December 2021 to March 2022 were enrolled in the intervention group (n = 61). Both groups received identical admission-based patient education, perioperative care, and discharge rehabilitation instructions. The control group received the traditional education method while the intervention group received a short-form educational video in addition to the traditional education method. Patient perioperative health knowledge and patient satisfaction with nursing care during treatment of lower limb fractures were compared across the two groups. Results: Preoperative health knowledge in the intervention group was 95.1%, compared to 82.0% in the control group (χ2 = 3.954, P<0.05). The Newcastle satisfaction with nursing scales score in the intervention group was (80.902 ± 7.016) points, compared to (78.131 ± 8.213) points in the control group. These group differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The application of a short-form educational video during the perioperative care of patients with lower limb fractures may improve patients' understanding of perioperative health and increase satisfaction with nursing care.

In recent years, due to the increase in their global popularity, short video applications have become an important topic of research. The number of users has now exceeded one billion in China; accordingly, Chinese researchers have conducted many studies on short videos. Their findings can serve as important references for both theoretical research on and the practical development of short videos worldwide. In this study, we used bibliometrics method and the CiteSpace application to analyze the content of 2163 representative research papers on short videos published in China from 2012 to 2022. The number of such papers is increasing annually in China; moreover, several core groups of authors and research institutions focusing on short video research have already been formed. Some popular topics of research on these videos include the main characteristics of short videos, phenomenon of media convergence based on short videos, and application scenarios of short videos. Over the years, research on the popular short video application Douyin has been increasing, as well. The research results indicate that issues such as the marketing of short knowledge videos, standardized management of short video platforms, and impact of these videos on the education of college students are expected to become popular subjects of scholarly research in the near future.

BackgroundHealth education about Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most effective methods to prevent H. pylori infection and standardize H. pylori eradication treatment. Short videos enable people to absorb and remember information more easily and are an important source of health education. This study aimed to assess the information quality of H. pylori-related videos on Chinese short video-sharing platforms.MethodsA total of 242 H. pylori-related videos from three Chinese short video-sharing platforms with the most users, TikTok, Bilibili, and Kwai, were retrieved. The Global Quality Score (GQS) and the modified DISCERN tool were used to assess the quality and content of videos, respectively. Additionally, comparative analyzes of videos based on different sources and common H. pylori issues were also conducted.ResultsThe median GQS score and DISCERN score was 2 for H. pylori-related videos analyzed in this study. Non-gastroenterologists posted the most H. pylori-related videos (136/242, 56.2%). Videos from gastroenterologists (51/242, 21.0%) had the highest GQS and DISCERN scores, with a median of 3. Few videos had content on family-based H. pylori infection control and management (5.8%), whether all H. pylori-positive patients need to undergo eradication treatment (27.7%), and the adverse effects of H. pylori eradication therapy (16.1%).ConclusionGenerally, the content and quality of the information in H. pylori-related videos were unsatisfactory, and the quality of the video correlated with the source of the video. Videos from gastroenterologists provided more correct guidance with higher-quality information on the prevention and treatment of H. pylori infection.

In today's digitalization era, promoting products using social media has become the primary strategy to accelerate business growth, especially promotion. With the emergence of various short video-based social media platforms, information can rapidly spread through a solid and short video duration. For many content creators, a short video can call crowds faster than other types of data transmissions, such as text, pictures, or traditional video. Millions of views can be gained in a matter of days. The video that gains high exposure is not always because of the celebrity or famous person; it is more of the quality of the content itself. One of the most popular themes is related to culinary products. Bandung, recognized as a city of culinary in Indonesia, has many content creators that create food promotional videos. Some of them have millions of followers that advocate for their followers to try and purchase the food. This phenomenon raises questions to be revealed, becoming the background for this research. This study aimed to determine the variables causing interest in purchasing culinary products in Bandung through Short Video-Based Social Media. Thus, this study contributes to theory development, business practice, and digital marketing through short videos posted on various social media platforms. The method used in this research is deductive exploratory research as a methodological approach that investigates the micro-conceptual framework of working hypotheses that have not been studied in-depth with qualitative data collection techniques using data collection techniques with in-depth interviews (IDI) and focus group discussions (FGD) online to specific individuals and groups. As a result, seven of eight factors are considered to independently influence intention to purchase culinary products towards SVBSM by the respondents: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, consumer personality characteristics, retail, commercial images, product features, attractiveness, and trustworthiness. The expertise variable is not considered as the factor that can influence the purchase intention. Another result shown short video-based social media that consumers commonly use are Tiktok, Reels by Instagram, and Youtube Short [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the era of rapid growth in the short video industry, it is very important to find more accurate suitable advertising promoters, namely Key Opinion Leaders, to promote the development of short video commerce. A mathematical method is needed to grade and evaluate KOL's abilities. Only in this way can advertisers better determine the value of KOL and determine whether it is suitable for promoting its products. Moreover, in the hierarchical evaluation of KOL, there is not only structured and quantifiable information, but also a large amount of unstructured and linguistic non-quantifiable information. Therefore, this article regards unquantifiable information as an uncertain variable and uses a comprehensive evaluation method based on uncertainty theory to handle subjective uncertainty in the evaluation process. Among them, all uncertain variables are symmetric. The main contribution of this article is the provision of a new evaluation method for KOL grading. Firstly, a two-level evaluation index system for KOL was established. Secondly, the importance and annotation of the Index set are set as uncertain variables, and the KOL evaluation model is constructed. Finally, two KOLs on TikTok were selected for comparative analysis to determine the importance ranking and KOL scores of each level of indicator, verifying the effectiveness and practicality of this method.

Modern mobile technologies that allow the quick creation of short videos provide users with ample opportunities to present their information in public space. Teenagers have become the most active users of new forms of creativity, so their self-presentations on video platforms deserve attention. This study uses content analysis to examine the features of Chinese adolescents' selfpresentation on Douyin, the Chinese TikTok counterpart, and the cultural factors that determine these features. We discovered that teenagers' self-presentation is characterized, firstly, by the creation of a virtual identity based on the real one, secondly, by freedom in the choice of role behavior, and thirdly, by the idealization of their image and various means of its formation. In addition to the impact of social, commercial, and network values, we also found the influence of traditional Chinese culture. Cultural stereotypes formed by upbringing are reflected in the forms of self-presentation (from external style to way of thinking) by the modern younger generation on social networks. We noted the role of celebrity culture in the daily lives of teenagers. In the future, studying the role of Chinese adolescents in the social information system, especially at the stage of changes in their self-perception and self-presentation, seems relevant.

BackgroundHealth science popularization short video disseminates health information to the public in an understandable way about health information.ObjectiveTo investigate the preferences of Chinese residents for health science popularization short videos and provide suggestions for optimizing the production of short videos.MethodsAn online survey of Chinese people was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire, and a discrete choice experiment (DCE) was used to explore the public’s preferences for health science popularization short videos.ResultsA total of 618 respondents were included, of which 306 (45.51%) were male and 312 (50.49%) were female, 271 (43.85%) were aged 18–25, 239 (38.67%) were aged 26–60, and 108 (17.48%) were aged 60 and above. Whether the video is charged or not (46.891%) and the account subject (28.806%) were both considered important. The results of the DCE revealed that the participants considered video free of charge as the most significant attribute of health science popularization short videos (OR 3.433, 95% CI 3.243–3.633). Overall, participants preferred and were more willing to pay for health science popularization short videos with a hospital account subject (OR 1.192, 95% CI 1.116–1.274), with the form of graphic narration (OR 1.062, 95% CI 1.003–1.126), free of charge (OR 3.433, 95% CI 3.243–3.633), with the content that satisfies their needs (very much needed: OR 1.253, 95% CI 95% CI 1.197–1.311; generally needed: OR 1.078, 95% CI 1.029–1.129), with platform certification (OR 1.041, 95% CI 1.011–1.073), without commercial advertisements (OR 1.048, 95% CI 1.018–1.080), with simple-to-understand content (OR 1.071, 95% CI 1.040–1.104), and with video content that evokes fear or dread of illness in the viewer (OR 1.046, 95% CI 1.015–1.078).ConclusionParticipants favor free health popularization short videos, which are hospital accounts, with content that is illustrated, understandable, meets their needs, and can serve as a warning. In the future, the production of health popularization short videos should focus on improving the diversity and relevance of video content, making it as easy to understand to achieve good science popularization effects.

As one of the most prevalent we-media, short video has exponentially grown and gradually fallen into the disaster area of infringement. Video fingerprint extraction technology is conducive to the intelligent identification of short video. In view of various tampering attacks, a short video fingerprint extraction method from audio–visual fingerprint fusion to multi-index hashing is proposed, including: (1) the shot-level fingerprint of short video is extracted by audio–visual fingerprint fusion after analyzing the consistency to eliminate the uncertainty at the decision-making layer, in which the visual fingerprint is generated by R(2 + 1)D network, and the audio fingerprint is combined by extracting audio features with masked audio spectral keypoints (MASK) and convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN); (2) the shot-level fingerprints are assembled into the data-level fingerprint of short video by constructing the data-shot-key frame relationship model of data structure; (3) the short video fingerprint is matched by measuring the weighted Hamming distance by creating the multi-index hashing of the data-level fingerprint. Five experiments are conducted on the CC_Web_Video dataset and the Moments_in_Time_Raw_v2 dataset, and the results show that our method can effectively raise the overall performance of short video fingerprint.

Short-video-based social media platforms (short-video-based [SVB] platforms) are becoming a common tool for an increasing number of consumers to safeguard their legitimate interests in China. This article examines how Chinese consumers practice video activism by using short videos on Weibo to construct a consumer sphere for themselves to protect their legal demands. By interviewing 56 interviewees including consumers, media practitioners, public relations department (PR) officials, and relevant government officials in China, we find that short videos are more than a visible vehicle on SVB platforms which makes the voices of consumers being heard, but significantly, these platforms create a "consumer sphere" for the consumers who experienced right infringement to defend their rights. The discussion and sharing of these videos unite the consumers to bring the individual issue to the spotlight of the public. We conclude that as more consumers join the queue to share their encounters, a sphere is constructed by the use of mediated tactics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
