BACKGROUND Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are one of the most described urination disorders worldwide. Previous investigations have focused predominantly on the prospective identification of cases that meets the researchers criteria, the genuine demand as regard to LUTS and related issues from patients may thus be neglected. OBJECTIVE To examine the online search trend and behaviours related to LUTS on a national and regional scale using the dominant major search engine in mainland China. METHODS The Baidu Index was queried using the LUTS related terms for the period 2011.01–2020.09. The search volume for each term was recorded to analyze the search trend and demographic distributions. For user interest, the data of demand graph and trend data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Of the 13 LUTS symptom domains, 11 domains are available in Baidu index database. The BSI for each LUTS domains varies from 37.78% to 1.47%. the search trend of urinary frequency (APC = 7.82%; p < .05; 2011-2018), incomplete emptying (APC = 17.74%; p < .05; 2011-2016), nocturia (APC = 11.54%; p < .05; 2011-2018), dysuria (APC = 20.77%; p < .05; 2017-2020) and incontinence (APC = 13.39%; p < .05; 2011-2016). The search index trends for the weak stream (APC = -4.68%; p < .05; 2011-2017, APC = 9.32%, p = 2.35, 2017-2020), split stream (APC = 9.50%; p = .44, 2011-2013, APC = 2.05%, p = .71, 2013-2020), urgency (APC = -2.63%; p = 1.17, 2011-2018, APC = 8.58%; p = .19, 2018-2020), nocturnal enuresis (APC = -4.20%; p = .62, 2011-2017, APC = 20.77%, p < .05, 2017-2020). The age distribution of the population of each LUTS symptom enquiries shows that the population aged 20 to 40 years comprised over 65% of the total search enquiries. Seconded is 5.2%- 21.50 % in the age group 40-49 years. People from the east part of china made over 50% of the total search queries. Further, most of these searches for LUTS symptom entries are related to those for urinary diseases in varying degrees. CONCLUSIONS Online interest in LUTS term fluctuated wildly and was reflected timely by Baidu index in china mainland. The online search popularity for each LUTS terms varie significantly and is differed from personal interest, population concerns, regional variations and gender. These data can be used by providers to track LUTS prevalence and population interests in guiding establish disease-specific healthcare policies and optimize the physician-patient healthcare sessions.

BACKGROUND Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most described psychosocial stress and sexual complaints worldwide. Previous investigations have focused predominantly on the prospective identification of cases that meets the researchers' criteria. The genuine demand as regards PE and related issues from patients may thus be neglected. OBJECTIVE To examine the online search trend and users’ demand related to PE on a national and regional scale using the dominant major search engine in mainland China. METHODS The Baidu Index was queried using the PE related terms for the period 2011.01–2020.12. The search volume for each term was recorded to analyze the search trend and demographic distributions. For user interest, the data of demand graph and trend data were collected and analyzed. RESULTS Of the 36 available PE keywords, 4 PE searching topics were identified. The BSI for each PE topics varies from 46.30% to 6.41%. The APC for topic Complaint was 2011-2014, 48.80% (p > .05); 2014-2020, -16.82% (p < .05). The APC for topic Enquiry was 2011-2014, 16.21% (p > .05); 2014-2020, -11.00% (p < .05). For topic Prognosis, the annual APC was 2011-2017, 11.18% (p < .05); 2017-2020, -19.86% (p < .05). For topic Treatment, the annual APC was 2011-2016, 14.04% (p < .05); 2016-2020, -38.83% (p < .05). The age distribution of the population of each PE searching topics enquiries shows that the population aged 20 to 40 years comprised nearly 70% of the total search enquiries. Seconded is 17.95 % in the age group under 19 years. People from the east part of china made over 50% of the total search queries. CONCLUSIONS e fluctuating online popularity of PE search is reflecting the real-time population demands. It may help medical professionals better understand population interest, population concerns, regional variations and gender differences on a national wide scale and making disease-specific healthcare policies. The internet search data could be more reliable when the insufficient and lagging registry data are completed. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable

BACKGROUND In December 2019, few cases of pneumonia were reported outbursting in the city Wuhan, Mainland China and soon became a global pandemic. With the vaccination approval in Mainland China, concerns over its safety and efficacy emerged. Since the Chinese Vaccine has been promoted by the Chinese government for months, and just got emergency approval from the World Health Organization. The Chinese vaccination program is yet to be identified from the perspective of local populations. OBJECTIVE To examine the perception, complaints, and inquiries related to the current vaccination program to identify public concerns or hesitancy with the leading search engine in Mainland China. METHODS The COVID-19 Vaccine related keywords were examined and queried on Baidu Index for the period 2019.01–2021.04. The searching popularity of each keyword was recorded to analyze the search trend and demographic distributions. Data of demand graph and trend data used for users' demand analysis. Daily Vaccination data were retrieved from the daily government report since 2021,03. RESULTS Seventeen vaccination keywords were retrieved and with a total BSI value of 13,708,853. The first vaccine enquiry emerged on 25th January 2020, and the searching trend APC is 21.05% (p < .05). With reference to the government announcement, the coefficient of correlation (r) values is 0.38 (p < .05). As to the age distribution, 39.22% of the search were from people aged 20-29 years and dominated the vaccine enquiry. Followed are the 33.00% from aged 30-39 yr, 14.34% from aged 40-49 yr, 9.27% from aged under 19 yr and 3.88% from aged over 50 yr. In the user demand section, the total valid BSI of the vaccine demand terms were 3,843,325,561. Over 54.93% of the demand term search were pandemic relevant, and the summed vaccine demand ratio was 44.79%. CONCLUSIONS The rising search population in COVID-19 Vaccination revealed elevating public interest and focus. Vaccine education programs and materials should be designed for teens and people aged above the 40s. Complaints and symptoms describing inquiries were low, but vaccine-related birth safety should be alerted and further investigated. CLINICALTRIAL Not applicable

Abstract Background The internet has made significant contributions towards health education. Analyzing the pattern of online behavior regarding meningitis and vaccinations may be worthwhile. It is hypothesized that the online search patterns in meningitis are correlated with its number of cases and the search patterns of its related vaccines. Methods This was an infodemiological study that determined the relationship among online search interest in meningitis, its worldwide number of cases and its associated vaccines. Using Google Trends™ Search Volume Indices (SVIs), we evaluated the search queries “meningitis,” “pneumococcal vaccine,” “BCG vaccine,” “meningococcal vaccine” and “influenza vaccine” in January 2021, covering January 2008 to December 2020. Spearman rank correlation was used to determine correlations between these queries. Results The worldwide search interest in meningitis from 2008 to 2020 showed an average SVI of 46 ± 8.8. The most searched topics were symptoms, vaccines, and infectious agents with SVIs of 100, 52, and 39, respectively. The top three countries with the highest search interest were Ghana, Kazakhstan, and Kenya. There were weak, but statistically significant correlations between meningitis and the BCG (ρ = 0.369, p < 0.001) and meningococcal (ρ = 0.183, p < 0.05) vaccines. There were no statistically significant associations between the number of cases, influenza vaccine, and pneumococcal vaccine. Conclusion The relationships among the Google SVIs for meningitis and its related vaccines and number of cases data were inconsistent and remained unclear. Future infodemiological studies may expand their scopes to social media, semantics, and big data for more robust conclusions.

The Impact

Globalization, Nationalism, and Music Education in the Twenty-First Century in Greater China examines the recent developments in school education and music education in Greater China – Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan – and the relationship between, and integration of, national cultural identity and globalization in their respective school curriculums. Regardless of their common history and cultural backgrounds, in recent decades, these localities have experienced divergent political, cultural, and educational structures. Through an analysis of the literature, official curriculum documents, approved music textbooks, and a survey questionnaire and in-depth interviews with music teachers, this book also examines the ways in which policies for national identity formation and globalization interact to complement and contradict each other in the context of music education in respect to national and cultural values in the three territories. Wai-Chung Ho’s substantive research interests include the sociology of music, China’s education system, and the comparative study of East Asian music education. Her research focuses on education and development, with an emphasis on the impact of the interplay between globalization, nationalization, and localization on cultural development and school music education.

Aim. To analyze age and gender distribution in patients with Gilbert's syndrome.Materials and Methods. We consecutively recruited 115 patients with Gilbert's syndrome. All patients underwent genotyping of the rs8175347 polymorphism within the UGT1A1 gene using allele-specific polymerase chain reaction to confirm the diagnosis.Results. The age of initial diagnosis ranged from 3 years to 71 years, with the majority (44.3%) of cases detected ≤ 20 years of age. Mean ± standard error and median age of the diagnosis were 30.03 ± 1.72 years and 23 years. Despite the proportion of females and males among patients was similar, age distribution at primary diagnosis was significantly different across the genders. In women, Gilbert's syndrome was most frequently detected between 11 and 20 years (23.1%) and between 51 and 60 years (19.2%). In contrast, male adolescents were more prone to the development of Gilbert's syndrome, as 47.6% of male patients belonged to this age category.Conclusions. Variable age of Gilbert's syndrome diagnosis is probably determined by an individual combination of genetic causes (e.g., mutation of the UGT1A1 gene) and additional risk factors. Adolescents compose a significant proportion of patients. Because of relatively mild disease in many patients and unpredictability of the provoking factors, primary detection of Gilbert's syndrome can be delayed. Differences in age of Gilbert's syndrome diagnosis across the genders can be partially explained by organizational reasons associated with the current screening programs.

Abstract - The Arab Panjunan kampong serving as the research object happens to be one of the heritage areas of Cirebon Town. This urban kampong has certain ethnic characteristics typical of Arab quarters that make it unique, thus contributing to the rich cultural history of Cirebon. As a heritage area, it is important for this ethnic Arab neighbourhood of Panjunan to draw up an inventory of the specific architectural elements that are still traceable, such as the urban lay-out and its contents as well as the landmarks of this area observed from a physical-spatial angle. The aim of this research project is to find out about this kampong’s various architectural elements that are recognized as such by the locals. This will be the contributing factor in the process of determining which environmental elements can be classified as typical landmarks. The first step taken in the research conducted is field observation in order to establish the elements that have survived in the kampong, including the architectural, social, and cultural ones. The observation related to architectural elements has been identified in accordance with the theory concerning Elements of Urban Design as proposed by Hamid Shirvani in his book The Urban Design Process. The next step is conducting research using the Cognitive Method as applied to the kampong dwellers in Panjunan by way of sketched maps and guided interviews. The respondents, classified based on ethnic heritage (descent) and gender, were requested to describe the environmental elements in this ethnic Arab kampong as far as they could recognize or identify them. Those who experienced difficulties in describing the sketches were assisted by the researcher based on the stories that had been supplied. Based on the acquired data containing these environmental elements, the aspect of memories contained therein was studied by way of interviews linked to the Continuity Theory by Breakwell. Subsequently, an analysis was made of the basis underlying the recognition of these elements based on the Landmark Theory by Kevin Lynch, and classified based on the criteria drawn up by Eko Budihardjo. Through the analysis, it was discovered that Panjunan’s Merah Mosque and its Asy Syafi’i Mosque indeed qualify as as architectural elements that show continuity of memory, gaining validity as iconic elements or landmarks on the regional scale of Cirebon’s ethnic Arab kampong of Panjunan.

The more than 30 percent of Hong Kong residents born in Mainland China often face discrimination in their daily lives. This essay explores how those of this group who are fans and followers of Mainland singing star Li Yuchun use their participation in the fandom to build multiple senses of belonging that can help negotiate such tensions. Li Yuchun’s persona as a fresh face of China, cosmopolitan and gender ambiguous, and thus a new “new woman,” has a particular appeal to her Hong Kong–based female fans who are Mainland-born.
