Through the invention patent and design patent, this product was exhibited in the Green Idea International Invention Competition and won the bronze medal. The design concept included “mask knowledge and etiquette”, “healthy eating knowledge”, “correct steps to wash hands”, and “epidemic precautions” to make small anti-epidemic items, namely “mask creative shape stickers”, “mask pocket bags”, and “mask creative shape stickers”. There were small stickers with eyes, mouths, and ears in the shape of small animals designed to be attached to the mask to increase children’s interest and willingness to wear them. The “Mask Carrying Bag” allowed children to store masks and avoid losing them after use. After the production of teaching aids, the quantitative research was completed, and the data from 100 research subjects confirmed reliability and validity through a questionnaire survey. Then, 34 education and security personnel were invited as research subjects to conduct pre-and post-tests. Through the dependent sample t-test, the effectiveness of research and development products was validated. The results showed that situational picture books, related teaching aids, and anti-epidemic objects were significantly better than traditional epidemic prevention teaching aids in improving children’s hand-eye coordination, promoting children’s interpersonal interaction, completing storage, promoting parent-child interaction, and practicality.","PeriodicalId":377167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Sciences and Artistic Innovations","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125109024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent decades, Cantonese Opera is seldom performed on the stage, but more appearing on TV, in movies, and on the Internet. Owing to the development of information technology, Cantonese Opera was reborn on the Internet, enriching its content and enlarging its influence. Using the Netnography method, the process from the decline of Cantonese Opera on the stage to the revival on the Internet was investigated. A series of data and cases were collected from Blibli and Youtube, and other main Internet platforms in China and the US. The findings showed that the forms of Cantonese Opera have become richer, and its content is not limited to the performance but extended to opera actors through vlogs and online apps and by sharing Cantonese singing skills. The characteristics of Cantonese Opera on the Internet were summarized and compared to those on the stages. The result showed that Cantonese Opera on the Internet has more room to extend its influence and attract young people to enjoy the traditional culture. With the 5G technology, artificial intelligence technology, and 3D technology, Cantonese Opera become to have a bigger opportunity to transmit to new platforms.","PeriodicalId":377167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Sciences and Artistic Innovations","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114286190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study focuses on the factors that led to George’s decision to end Lennie’s life, using ethical perspectives to justify George’s decision to shoot Lennie to death. With the shooting of Lennie as an example, we intend to demonstrate that, although the action and the outcome may be the same from the deontological perspective and the consequential perspective, the motivation for the shooting is different because of different moral philosophies. Consequentialism provides a clear benchmark to abide by; in contrast, although deontology claims that people are obliged to follow the supreme principle of morality, without clear guidance, people may confront contradictory obligations and, hence, face a dilemma.","PeriodicalId":377167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Sciences and Artistic Innovations","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132700823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article presents how and what a curriculum of competency-driven arts education is emerging based on the proclamation. We define competency-driven arts education as self-determination to solve problems by integrating knowledge, ability, and attitude of arts in the circumstances. This operational definition is used to set a scene of education for constructing a curriculum model, including the path of instruction, learning, and subject. The crucial and competency-driven features are stemmed from discussions that inspire curriculum implementation not on what is taught and acquired but on how to make decisions to show one's value judgment.","PeriodicalId":377167,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Social Sciences and Artistic Innovations","volume":"93 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128924562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sixteen patients with ESRD aged between 45 and 65 participated in the five-week group intervention based on the Eastern Body-Mind-Spirit model with Tai Chi components at a public hospital in Hong Kong. A mix-method approach was used to assess the attainment of objectives: (1) participants were asked to report their frequency and duration of physical exercises outside of the group; (2) the Personal Wellbeing Index – Adult (Cantonese) 4th edition was used to measure the quality of life of the participants; (3) a general group evaluation form was used to evaluate participants’ satisfaction with the group; and (4) observations by the medical social workers during the group and sharing sessions, feedback from the participants, the Tai Chi Instructor, and medical team members of the renal ward were collected to determine the level of mutual support among participants. The group showed promising results: (1) the average time group members spent exercising outside the group increased by 24%; (2) rapport was apparent among most group members; (3) communication between the patients and the medical team was enhanced; and (4) paired sample t-test showed a significant average difference between pre- and post-group Personal Wellbeing scores of the participants (t = -2.9, df = 12, p = 0.01).
