“…It was reported that a tiered membership works as an incentive for participation in many Chinese online virtual communities, which means members achieve a higher status by contributing, thus obtaining more trust from other members (Liao, Pan, Zhou, & Ma, 2010). This kind of tiered membership can function as a form of extrinsic reward.…”

Exploring behavioral transfer from knowledge seeking to knowledge contributing: The mediating role of intrinsic motivation

Knowledge contributing has long been identified as a bottleneck in knowledge management since individuals tend to believe that their contributing would not be worth the effort, given high levels of expectation to receive some value in return. Self‐perception theory posits that individuals come to “know” their own internal beliefs by inferring them partially from observations of their own overt behavior. Building on self‐perception theory and adhering to the principle that the relationship between behavior and beliefs is one of mutual influence, we develop a research model to explore the behavioral transfer from knowledge seeking to knowledge contributing and consider the mediating effect of intrinsic motivation. Data collected from 430 users of Web 2.0 applications were used to test the model. The mediating role of intrinsic motivation between knowledge seeking and knowledge contributing is confirmed. These findings and their implications for theory and practice are discussed.

“…Research has found that Chinese interact differently compared to Americans in online social media. For example, they are generally less concerned with privacy violation [26] and more trusting [10]. Existing studies have also examined how group norms, social identity, and certain design features affect online interactions [25,28].…”

China has overtaken India and the U.S. as host to the largest diabetic population in the world. Many problems exist in the Chinese healthcare system and very small number of diabetes patients receives treatment. Our paper reports on a case study through the lens of an online diabetes patient community, Sweet Home. We conducted participant observations, text analysis, and interviews, to understand the health management of patients at Sweet Home. Our findings reveal that patients' understanding of diabetes, their choice of treatments, their routine management, and their interactions with others (in the physical world) and among themselves (in the online world) are influenced by many factors: belief in traditional Chinese versus modern western medicine, cultural and social norms regarding social eating and drinking, conflicts over self-images, and responses to comments and pressures of coworkers. That is, social context may significantly affect patients' behaviors and each individual patient's actions may also help reshape the social context. We draw out implications for how our society as a whole may respond to these issues, from the perspective of public health, education, and information technology design.

“…The arc sensor has applied in GMAW with spray transfer mode successfully [1], since its arc voltage and welding current are smooth. However, when it is adopted in short-circuit CO 2 arc welding, a special algorithm on arc voltage and welding current is required and difficulties to realize accurate torch-height control are still exist [3]. With short-circuit CO 2 arc welding, since the wire electrode extension during short-circuit is approximately the torch-height, it can be used as a sensor to determine and then to control the torch-height [4].…”

The waveform controlled short-circuit CO2 arc welding has been developed and applied in industries widely. To guarantee its process stability and weld quality in automatic applications further, the torch-height, the distance from torch to workpiece, which may be altered by the welding distortion and assembling errors of joints, is detected via measuring the wire electrode extension during the metaphase of short-circuit and then controlled. The acquired data is filtered by rule-based fuzzy algorithm and/or shift-average method. The experimental results, validated by slope and lap-joint welding, show that the detection and control system has excellent stability and dynamic response under different welding conditions, such as slope angle, wire feeding rate and welding speed, this will make the welding process more stability and the weld quality improved.
