“…However, few studies have investigated the effect of exposure to incense burning on obesity. A cross-sectional study in Guangzhou reported that children exposed to three or more types of indoor air pollutants (cooking oil fumes, home decoration, secondhand smoke, and incense burning) had higher obesity anthropometric indices and increased odds of being overweight/obese [39]. However, the study found no statistical significance between incense burning and overweight/obesity.…”

“…In light of previously published studies [16,39,41], the potential covariates selected were children's gender and age, birth weight, single child or not, premature birth, feeding pattern, early nutritional status, parental age at conception, maternal marital status and prepregnancy BMI, family income, maternal folic acid intake during pregnancy, prenatal exposure to environmental tobacco smoke, mosquito coil smoke, and cooking oil fumes.…”

Incense burning is a significant source of indoor air pollution in many Asian regions. There is emerging evidence that maternal prenatal exposure to incense-burning smoke may be a risk factor for childhood obesity. We aimed to extend this new line of research by investigating the independent and joint effect of incense-burning smoke exposure, and children’s outdoor activity in early life, on preschoolers’ obesity. A total of 69,637 mother–child dyads were recruited from all kindergartens in the Longhua District of Shenzhen, China. Information on sociodemographic characteristics, maternal exposure to incense-burning smoke (IBS) during pregnancy, and frequency and duration of outdoor activity at the age of 1–3 years was collected by a self-administered questionnaire. In addition, the heights and weights of the children were measured by the research team. Logistic regression models and cross-over analyses were conducted to investigate the independent and combined effects of maternal exposure to incense-burning smoke during pregnancy and children’s early outdoor activity on obesity in preschoolers. We found that prenatal exposure to incense-burning smoke increased the risk of the presence of obesity in preschoolers’ (AOR = 1.13, 95% CI = 1.03–1.23). Additionally, lower frequencies (<3 times/week) or shorter durations (<60 min/time) of outdoor activity from the age of 1–3 years were significantly associated with the presence of obesity, with AORs of 1.24 (95% CI =1.18–1.32) and 1.11 (95% CI = 1.05–1.17), respectively. Furthermore, the cross-over analysis showed that prenatal exposure to IBS combined with a lower frequency of early outdoor activity (AOR = 1.47, 95% CI = 1.31–1.66) or a shorter duration of outdoor activity during ages of 1–3 years (AOR = 1.22, 95% CI = 1.07–1.39) increased the risk of obesity in preschoolers. Finally, additive interactions between prenatal exposure to IBS and postnatal outdoor activity on obesity were identified. Our study indicates that maternal exposure to incense-burning smoke during pregnancy and early lower postanal outdoor activity may independently and jointly increase the risk of obesity among preschoolers.

“…This national sci-fi event has become a significant platform for exchanges and cooperation between science, culture and industry (Beijing Daily, 2023). The 81st World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon), which was held in Chengdu, China, in 2023, attracted more than 1200 guests and more than 20,000 sci-fi fans from 35 countries and regions, and it included a diverse program of more than 200 themed salons (Jiang et al, 2023).…”

The term ‘science fiction (sci-fi) industry’ has developed only in the past two decades in China. It has gone through special cultural, economic and political backgrounds in its conceptual development. After years of evolution and under the influence of some influential sci-fi intellectual properties, the sci-fi industry has developed typical forms such as reading material, film and television programs, games, derivative products and cultural tourism. These forms are also the major means for the generation of sci-fi content and the dissemination of sci-fi culture. The sci-fi industry has three key features: it integrates culture with science and technology as production factors; it has both production capacity and consumer appeal; and it is made up of interconnected vertical and horizontal production chains.
