Petit Manseng (Vitis vinifera L.) has become a popular variety in China for the production of semisweet and sweet wines. However, few studies focused on investigating the molecular odor code of its key odorants. In this study, the key odor-active compounds of Chinese sweet Petit Manseng wine were identified by gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Fifty-five odorous zones were sniffed and identified by application of aroma extraction dilution analysis on a distillate prepared by liquidliquid extraction and solvent-assisted flavor evaporation. Among them, isoamyl alcohol, ethyl octanoate, isovaleric acid, (E)-β-damascenone, and phenylethanol particularly displayed with highest flavor dilution factors above 1024. The quantification of volatiles by headspace solid-phase microextraction coupled with GC-MS and GC coupled with triple quadrupole MS/MS and a calculation of odor activity values (OAVs) indicated 23 volatiles with OAVs above 1. Ethyl hexanoate showed the highest OAV with 208.8, followed by (E)-β-damascenone (189.0), 3mercaptohexanol (60.3), isoamyl acetate (45.4), and furaneol (40.1). The aroma of the sweet wine was successfully reconstituted by combining 42 aroma compounds in a model wine solution. 3-Mercaptohexanol, (E)-β-damascenone, furaneol, γ-octalactone + γ-decalactone + γ-hexalactone, and ethyl cinnamate had important influence on the aroma of sweet Petit Manseng wine assessed by omission tests. Moreover, the discrimination of wines from three regions was successfully achieved by partial least squares discriminant analysis based on quantitative results of key odorants. 3-Mercaptohexanol was considered as the most responsible for the region discrimination and had highest concentrations in Petit Manseng wines from Jiaodong Peninsula. Practical Application: Understanding of the knowledge in key odorants of Petit Manseng wines could be useful to improve wine quality through viticultural and enological practices.
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the healthcare industry, especially public health resources and resource allocation. With the change in people’s lifestyles and increased demand for medical and health care in the post-pandemic era, the Internet and home healthcare have rapidly developed. As an essential part of Internet healthcare, mobile health (mHealth) applications help to fundamentally address the lack of medical resources and meet people’s healthcare needs. In this mixed-method study, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 users in China (mean age = 26.13, SD = 2.80, all born in China) during the pandemic, based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT-2) mode, and identified four dimensions of user needs in mHealth scenarios: convenience, control, trust, and emotionality. Based on the interview results, we adjusted the independent variables, deleted the hedonic motivation and the habit, and added the perceived trust and perceived risk as the variables. Using a structural equation model (SEM), we designed the questionnaire according to the qualitative results and collected data from 371 participants (above 18 years old, 43.9% male) online to examine the interrelationships these variables. The results show that performance expectancy (β = 0.40, p < 0.001), effort expectancy (β = 0.40, p < 0.001), social influence (β = 0.14, p < 0.05), facilitating condition (β = 0.15, p < 0.001), and perceived trust (β = 0.31, p < 0.001) had positive effects on use intention. Perceived risk (β = −0.31, p < 0.001) harmed use intention, and price value (β = 0.10, p > 0.5) had no significant effects on use intention. Finally, we discussed design and development guidelines that can enhance user experience of mHealth applications. This research combines the actual needs and the main factors affecting the use intention of users, solves the problems of low satisfaction of user experience, and provides better strategic suggestions for developing mHealth applications in the future.
This paper takes the financial statements of MI from 2017to 2019, and uses Harvard analysis framework to analyse the financial situation of MI. The analysis content mainly includes enterprise macro environment, industry competitive analysis and financial ratio analysis. This paper tried to understand the current situation and development prospect of MI. Based on the analysis of MI’s financial situation under the framework of Harvard, we summarized the existing problems and put forward suggestions.
It is widely believed that science and technology (sci-tech) finance can pave the way to combat environmental degradation by promoting innovation in environment-related technologies. However, limited research is available to support this argument, and literature is silent on how sci-tech finance pilot policies influence carbon emissions in China. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of technology and financial integration pilot policy (TFIP) on carbon emissions and its dynamic effects, heterogeneity, and mechanisms in 252 cities in China. To do this, the yearly data from 2006 to 2019 were used in the propensity score matching–difference in differences (PSM-DID) method. The results unveiled that 1) the TFIP can effectively reduce the scale and intensity of carbon emissions in pilot cities. The TFIP shows a U-shaped distribution with CO2_Size and CO2_intensity, reaching a minimum in the fifth year. The TFIP has a lagging effect on carbon emissions, which significantly reduces carbon emissions in the second year. The robustness test verifies our conclusion. 2) The heterogeneity test results show that the effect of the TFIP is heterogeneous depending on the spatial and city attributes. The TFIP can effectively reduce carbon emissions in the eastern region and resource-based cities. However, in the central, western, and non-resource–based cities, the reduction effect of the TFIP is not obvious. 3) The impact mechanism finds that the TFIP reduces the scale of carbon emissions by enhancing the green innovation capacity and rationalizing the production structure in the pilot cities. Several policy recommendations are proposed based on the findings such as vigorous development of sci-tech finance to achieve sustainable development of the economy.
