"Digital black hole" – A study on the experience design of telecommunications network fraud
As telecom network fraud gradually infiltrates daily scenarios such as social interactions, consumption, part-time work, and online payments, traditional anti-fraud publicity, which primarily relies on text, posters, and case studies, still has room for improvement in terms of engagement and memorability. This article uses the concept of a "digital black hole" as its core, comparing the stages of attraction, belief, and gradual entrapment in the fraud process to the attractive properties of a black hole, and transforming this concept into an experiential design. The work consists of three parts: a black hole magnetic interaction device, a visual illusion science popularization wall, and a fortune-telling card game. These components present the risks of fraud from the perspectives of physical sensation, visual judgment, and interactive cognition, respectively. Through specially designed magnetic shoes, eight categories of common fraud science popularization content, and 104 interactive cards, the work attempts to transform the relatively abstract process of fraud into a more intuitive experience. Participants can recognize the inducement methods and risk characteristics of fraudulent information through observation and interaction, and further reflect on the application value of experiential design in the dissemination of anti-fraud knowledge.

Embedded supervision for intellectual property tokenisation under the EU DLT Pilot Regime: reconciling proportionality with trade secret protection
The tokenisation of intellectual-property-related financial claims on distributed ledger technology (DLT) promises fractional investment, programmable licensing, faster settlement and improved traceability. Yet the same ledger architecture that can make regulatory information more accessible may also create a new confidentiality problem for IP-intensive issuers. This article examines that problem within Regulation (EU) 2022/858 (the DLT Pilot Regime). It argues that the central legal question is not whether supervisors should have access to DLT data, but how supervisory access should be designed so that the information necessary for market integrity and investor protection is available without turning commercially sensitive information into unnecessarily persistent regulatory data. The article makes four interventions. First, it distinguishes the tokenised financial instrument from the underlying IP and from confidential know-how associated with that IP, avoiding a model in which trade secrets are treated as though they were themselves transferable securities. Second, drawing on the wider debate about which digital-money architecture will underpin tokenised markets, it shows that the choice of settlement asset for an IP-backed DLT instrument is analytically inseparable from the choice of supervisory architecture, because both raise the same underlying question of how much trust must be placed in a third party. Third, it reframes embedded supervision as an architecture of graduated data access rather than as unrestricted ledger visibility, and applies the Trade Secrets Directive, the General Data Protection Regulation and the EU proportionality principle to argue for a privacy-by-design model based on data minimisation, permissioned access, cryptographic commitments and, where technically mature and appropriate, zero-knowledge proofs and confidential computation. Fourth, it proposes a four-layer supervisory architecture and a graduated disclosure matrix that link the sensitivity of information to the regulatory purpose for which it is sought. The article does not contend that current EU law already mandates such technologies. Rather, it shows how the DLT Pilot Regime's existing requirements concerning direct supervisory access, proportionality of exemptions, cybersecurity and confidentiality can supply the legal basis for a less intrusive supervisory architecture that remains faithful to the experimental and technology-neutral character of the Regime.

Research on public trust repair paths of corporate social responsibility visual narratives in crisis public relations contexts
Article thumbnail
In the context of crisis public relations, corporate social responsibility visual narrative has become an important way for corporations to respond to public doubt, explain responsibility relations, and rebuild public trust. Compared with written statements, audiovisual texts can transform corporate responsibility into a more perceptible narrative experience through shot organization, character presentation, scene arrangement, and emotional rhythm. Based on CSR videos publicly released after corporate crises from 2020 to 2024, visual text coding, questionnaire experiments, and statistical analysis are combined to examine the effects of visual authenticity, responsibility recognition, emotional resonance, and action commitment on public trust repair. The results show that the narrative path composed of factual explanation, responsibility recognition, and action evidence has a stronger trust repair effect. Responsibility recognition and action commitment have more prominent effects on public trust. Emotional narrative can increase viewing involvement, but its trust repair effect remains limited when responsibility explanation and remedial action are absent. These findings indicate that post crisis CSR videos should not remain at the level of public welfare display and emotional appeal. They should build a more credible visual communication path through clear factual response, visible responsibility assumption, and sustained action evidence.

Transforming passion into positive impact: a positive psychology based study of rational fandom communication design
Fan culture is a prominent social phenomenon among young people. Unregulated fandom behaviors cause online conflicts, while traditional preachingstyle guidance often triggers audience resistance. This study aims to develop publicinterest communication design for rational fandom based on positive psychology. Methods: Combined with fanculture field observation and interview materials, this research transforms abstract positive psychology theories into portable starchasing guidance cards and leaflets, and carries out onsite distribution practice. Results: The neutral, nonpreaching communication product reduces fans' defensive psychology and helps transmit rational fandom ideas; nevertheless, oneoff offline practice faces limitations including fragmented reading, insufficient visual emphasis of core information and lack of longterm intervention effects. Conclusions: Fandom passion carries positive potential. Positivepsychologyoriented publicinterest communication can guide internalisation of rational fandom concepts. Future practice should optimise textvisual layout and build onlineoffline joint longterm intervention mechanisms to improve fandom ecological environment.

Surveillance, discipline, and breaking free: a study of the cinematic narrative of The Truman Show and its metaphors for the digital age
The Truman Show (1998) constructs, through extreme imagination, a "real" life that has been meticulously choreographed for more than thirty years. The protagonist, Truman Burbank, lives in the idyllic seaside town of Seahaven, where his entire life is secretly filmed and broadcast as a television program, all without his knowledge. Blending a thriller-like exterior with a tender core, the film poses the disturbing question of whether, when a cage is decorated comfortably and realistically enough, the disciplined individual can still perceive it—and resist it. This study analyzes the film across four layers: the ontological layer, the narrative layer, the authorial layer, and the cultural layer. Methodologically, the study integrates the film's screenplay, interviews with the creators, and film criticism to conduct a cross-analysis of the film's surveillance spectacle, the protagonist's awakening, its creative origins, and its real-world resonance. The study finds that the disciplinary theme of The Truman Show , far from being an isolated on-screen narrative, is structurally homologous with contemporary algorithmic recommendation, social media, and the standardized life. Escaping one form of discipline does not mean attaining absolute freedom, true freedom lies in maintaining a clear awareness of discipline and in keeping the courage to push open the door to reality. This study may serve as a reference for research on media and discipline in audiovisual texts, as well as for discussions of individual freedom in the digital age.

The paradox of healthcare capacity in high-income regions: a provincial analysis of health system strain in China
China's healthcare system faces new problems of a shortage of healthcare workers, hospital overcrowding and unequal development of healthcare facilities. Examine the relationship between healthcare resource allocation and healthcare system pressure at the provincial level in China in this paper. Using provincial-level data from the China Statistical Yearbook 2020-2023, a Health System Strain Index (HSSI) is constructed in this paper based on healthcare workforce availability, hospital bed capacity and utilisation intensity. Pooled OLS, Random Effects and Fixed Effects models were employed, and among them, the Fixed Effects model was chosen for the final estimation. Economic and other changes have increased the demand for healthcare among the public. High-income areas have relatively high demand for healthcare services and are thus more likely to be strained. To improve the sustainability of healthcare services, one must increase the scale of resources and enhance the efficiency of resource allocation; at the same time, strengthen primary healthcare, improve regional coordination of medical institutions, etc.

Logical rationale and practical paths of digital-intelligence empowerment for improving health education literacy of college physical education teachers
Article thumbnail
With the continuous advancement of educational digitalization and health education in colleges and universities, new requirements have been put forward for the professional literacy of college physical education teachers. Based on relevant policy documents and existing studies, this paper analyzes the connotation, improvement logic, realistic adaptation and practical paths of digital-intelligence empowerment for the health education literacy of college physical education teachers. The study holds that this literacy can be understood from four dimensions: health knowledge integration, health information interpretation, health education transformation, and digital-intelligence application and ethics. Its improvement stems from the expansion of health education goals, the integration of physical education and health knowledge, and the collaboration between professional experience and data evidence. At present, there is still room for further improvement in the embedding of health education roles, the connection between physical education and health knowledge, the educational transformation of health data, and relevant support mechanisms. To this end, it is necessary to strengthen the professional role cognition oriented by health promotion, build a knowledge system integrating physical education and health, form a capability chain of "data acquisition – information interpretation – educational decision-making – teaching intervention – feedback adjustment", and improve the support mechanisms of training, teaching and research, interdisciplinary collaboration and evaluation.

Narrative empowerment: life stories of young people with osteogenesis imperfecta and the reconstruction of public perceptions
People with rare diseases are often represented through medical labels and vulnerability narratives. Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), called "porcelain doll disease," is easily reduced to fragility, dependence, and incapacity. Charity-centered communication may attract attention but obscure aspirations, preferences, creativity. This case study explores how life narrative and artistic self-expression can reconstruct public perceptions of young people with OI. It focuses on "Mannie Group," a five-member female research and creative group formed on July 30, 2026, around Wang Mannie, a young woman with OI. Data include a semi-structured interview, field observation, informal conversations, and a participatory fashion show held on August 4, 2026, in Guangzhou, with about 100 audience members. Analysis covers Mannie's life narrative, experiences, self-expression, clothing preferences, mobility, and symbolic elements including clothing style, purple color, wing imagery, music, and the slogan "肆意的曼妮是曼妮."("Mannie in her fullest expression is simply Mannie") Findings show a gap between attention and understanding. Mannie's story challenges reductionist representation. The fashion show turned the body from a medical object into a medium of self-expression, with aesthetic choices based on Mannie's own ideas. Narrative empowerment can replace pity- and charity-centered images with recognition, equality, and appreciation, but artistic expression alone cannot remove structural barriers. It must be part of broader social and institutional empowerment.

A study of public perceptions of ecological protection and urban development in Dongting Lake
Article thumbnail
As a key river-connected lake and ecological barrier in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake plays a critical role in coordinating ecological protection and socioeconomic development, which directly affects the well-being of nearly 22 million residents living around the lake. Based on questionnaire data collected from 30 respondents living in areas surrounding Dongting Lake, this study examines public perceptions and preferences regarding the lake's ecological environment, health impacts, economic value, and future development pathways from the perspective of subjective public perception. The findings show that respondents generally hold a highly positive view of Dongting Lake, with 83.3% believing that it has a significant positive impact on their quality of life. At the same time, water quality, livelihood-related water and environmental issues, and flood control and safety in response to climate change have emerged as the core concerns most strongly perceived by the public. The survey results indicate that the public does not regard ecological protection and economic development as mutually exclusive options. Instead, respondents generally expect ecological advantages to be steadily translated into improvements in people's well-being through the improvement of safety and security systems, the transition toward green industries, and fair mechanisms for coordinating interests. The findings may provide a reference for advancing the governance of the Dongting Lake basin from macro-level monitoring indicators toward tangible improvements in residents' everyday lives, thereby contributing to the establishment of a long-term collaborative mechanism characterized by "government governance, corporate responsibility, social participation, and benefits for residents."

Research on the transformation of public perception of rare disease patients from the perspective of life stories and public advocacy: a case study of the "Porcelain Doll" fashion show
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) is a rare bone disorder that causes the bones to become fragile. This often leads to the labeling of society as "cute dolls", highlighting their fragility and the need for protection. This study explores how personal stories and public events, such as fashion shows, influence each other. It is possible to shift the public's perception of young people with OI from merely focusing on their illness to comprehensively understanding them as complete individuals. This study employed a case study method to explore the experiences of an individual with OI, the creative elements of the fashion show, as well as the insights gained from interviews with patients with other rare diseases. The research results indicate that by combining personal narratives with artistic expressions, including fashion design, music and stage sets, it goes beyond mere conscious cognition, effectively challenging stereotypes and promoting true understanding and empowerment. The research concludes that such advocacy platforms play a crucial role in redefining identities. Make patients no longer be regarded as passive recipients of medical treatment, but be treated as autonomous individuals with creativity and personal value. An important step towards social transformation is to shift from "disease labels" to "life stories". This helps to provide a richer and more equitable understanding of beauty and identity.
