Objective: to report an experience of health communication with a strategy based on hosting health videos in a virtual environment.

Method: a video sharing site (YouTube), accessible websites, and tools to facilitate the execution of tasks (applications) were used to report a health education experience based on the hosting of videos addressing the subjects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, airway obstruction by foreign bodies, and hemorrhages.

Results: in 17 months, there were 31,727 views for the resuscitation and the obstruction videos, which were accessed by people from 69 countries, especially Brazil and the United States; the videos about hemorrhages had 5,400 views, by viewers from the same countries.

Final Considerations: the use of communication by hosting health videos in a virtual environment impacts on popular education significantly.

This article explores the rise of comics-based research (CBR) as an innovative method for disseminating and translating academic findings to broader audiences. Rooted in the established use of comics in technical communication, CBR takes the unique strengths of graphic media-accessibility, multimodal engagement, and visual storytelling-to communicate complex concepts to diverse audiences, particularly in health-related disciplines. A recent development in this field is the comic research abstract, a concise, visually enriched alternative to traditional textual abstracts.

This paper investigates the noncooperative game problems over weight-balanced digraphs with communication delays. Compared with existing noncooperative games, a class of noncooperative games that are more aligned with practical systems is discussed, where all agents have uncertain heterogeneous second-order nonlinear dynamics. Then, considering two different types of communication delays, respectively slowly-varying communication delays and fast-varying communication delays, the distributed algorithm is designed to seek the Nash equilibrium (NE).

Categorization is an essential task for sensory perception. Individuals learn category labels using a variety of strategies to ensure that sensory signals, such as sounds or images, can be assigned to proper categories. Categories are often learned on the basis of extreme examples, and the boundary between categories can differ among individuals.
