“…Having ignored those deficiencies, we thought that the internet was more convenient and acceptable to the public, and can enable information collection working in a relatively low-cost and large-scale manner [17]. Some researchers have found higher response rates in the survey using an online questionnaire when compared to paper questionnaire [18,19]. The result of our study also showed the same trend (60.7% in the online distributed questionnaire).…”

Background A biobank is a storage facility which stores sample mainly for biological or medical researches. Biospecimen collection is the kind of work essential in the building of biobank. However, we found the collection works had the difficulties in the proceeding because of the low anticipation rate. Methods We here conducted a questionnaire including several questions covered several aspects in order to find out people’s attitude towards biospecimen donation. The questionnaire had 20 questions mainly focused on overall publics’ participation rates, matters that influence their participation and major publics’ concerns in biospecimen donation. Results In our survey, 1477 from 2200 distributed questionnaires were responded, and electronic questionnaires showed the highest response rate of 49.9%. In all respondents, 936 showed willingness in participation, providing a percentage of 63.4%. We found that most respondents lack the knowledge of biospecimen donation and biobanking but still have a positive attitude towards biospecimen donation. Several factors, including family disease history( p <0.05), previous donation history ( p <0.01), the knowledge of biospecimen donation ( p <0.01), the knowledge of biospecimen donation conception ( p <0.01) were closely linked to donation willingness. Among those factors, family disease history, brief knowledge about biospecimen donation were independent factors affecting donation willingness. The reverse health effects and privacy leakage were major concerns among the majority of respondents. Primary reasons affected willingness, or unwillingness donation were their benefic to public interests and privacy concerns. In summary, this survey we mainly discussed factors affecting publics’ willingness and issues people concerned most in biospecimen donation of a biobank. Conclusions Most respondents hold positive attitudes towards biospecimen donation but lack relevant knowledges. Several factors influenced donation willingness probably caused by those deficiency knowledge. Even though faced this challenge, responders’ merits of altruistic behavior may contribute to the act of donation. In addition, information leakage and health impairment remained the domain factors prevented their participation. Further works are required to eliminate those undesirable elements restrained biospecimen donation by the well biobank knowledge popularization and detailed pre-donation information exchange .

“…WeChat is one of the fastest growing mobile apps in China, with over 697 million currently active user accounts according to a report by Tencent Inc. , who provided the WeChat platform, and it is the most popular platform visited daily by university students in China . Every student in Tongji University School of Medicine uses WeChat according to our findings, so we can take advantage of WeChat instead of developing high‐cost teaching apps.…”

Biochemistry and cellular biology courses for medical students at Tongji University include the assessment that provides students with feedback to enhance their learning, which is a type of formative assessment. However, frequent instant feedback and guidance for students is often absent or inconsistently included in the teaching process. WeChat, the most popular Chinese social media, was introduced in biochemistry and cellular biology course. A WeChat official account (OA) was set up as an instant interactive platform. Over a period of two semesters, OA sent 73 push notifications. The components included course notices, preclass thought questions, after-class study materials, answer questions and feedback, simulation exercises, teacher-student interaction, and research progress relevant to the course. WeChat OA served as an active-learning teaching tool, provided more frequent feedback and guidance to students, and facilitated better student-centered communication in the teaching process. Using the WeChat OA in medical teaching emphasized interactive, interoperable, effective, engaging, adaptable, and more participatory teaching styles. As a new platform, WeChat OA was free, Internet-reliant, and easily managed. Using this new medium as a communication tool accelerated further advancement of instant feedback and improvement in teaching activities. Notifications and interactive feedback via the mobile social medium WeChat OA anytime and anywhere facilitated a student-centered teaching mode. Use of WeChat OA significantly increased the proportion of students interactively participating and resulted in a high degree of student satisfaction. © 2017 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 45(5):421-425, 2017.

“…The researchers distributed the uniform online questionnaires by WeChat, which is one of the most prevalent social software in mainland China [35,65]. Evidence supports that WeChat is an adequate platform to distribute energy-saving questionnaires or interventions [66,67]. The research team offered vouchers to all participants who successfully complete the questionnaire and provide valid feedback.…”

Psychological and Demographic Factors Affecting Household Energy-Saving Intentions: A TPB-Based Study in Northwest China

et al. 2020

Changing energy consumption behavior is a promising strategy to enhance household energy efficiency and to reduce carbon emission. Understanding the role of psychological and demographic factors in the context of energy-conservation behaviors is critical to promote energy-saving behaviors in buildings. This study first proposes a theoretical framework built on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Based on the collected survey data from 207 families (553 residents) in three communities in Xi’an, a typical city in northwest China, the research examines how three standard TPB predictors, namely attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control, as well as their interactive effects and three socio-demographic factors (i.e., house ownership, education and household income) influence building occupants’ energy-saving intention at home. Through structural equation modeling and keyword analysis, this study reveals that two interaction terms, namely attitude and subjective norms, as well as attitude and perceived behavior control, significantly influence building occupants’ energy-saving intention. Furthermore, this study implies that household income may positively associate with occupants’ energy-saving intention. The model in this study would be conducive to architects and property managers to mitigate severe building energy overuse problem in design and operation stages. Based on a qualitative analysis, the study then discusses the limitations of the study and further research direction. The results of this study would be conducive to building designers and operators to develop customized architectural or informatic interventions and to mitigate the severe energy overuse problem in the residential sector in northwest China.
