Bodies and Viruses: Biomedicalizing Hepatitis B in Shaping South Korea’s Nationhood

Abstract:Hepatitis B was a stigmatizing disease because of its reputation as a problem of underdeveloped countries and marginalized people. Biomedicine, including vaccination and science-based sanitation, was regarded as the only effective measure against it. Hence, some scholars have assumed that bodies and the disease were merely objects of biomedical intervention essential for nation-building. Challenging this assumption, I argue that Korean bodies and hepatitis were instrumental in forming biomedical and nationalistic discourses and exercises in South Korea during the 1970s and 1980s. In a developmental dictatorship situated within changing Cold War politics, hepatitis B and bodies, with their biological and cultural relations, contributed to shaping biomedical investigations, enterprises, and practices that were interpreted and appropriated with nationalistic metaphors. Therefore, hepatitis B, alongside those who carried it, came to evoke the contradictory imageries that symbolized both the progress and backwardness of the country.
A Longitudinal Person-Centered Examination of Affinity for Aloneness Among Children and Adolescents.

Affinity for aloneness among youth often is viewed negatively. However, some youth may enjoy solitude for positive reasons, rather than because of social anxiety. The prevalence and adjustment over time of youth with high affinity for aloneness is unclear. Groups of children (N = 605, Mage = 9.29) and adolescents (N = 596, Mage = 12.20) were identified using affinity for aloneness and social anxiety scores, and group differences in adjustment were assessed. Latent class analyses revealed four groups at T1 and T2 for both samples. Among these were Normative (Low.affinity_for_aloneness-Low.social_anxiety) and Affinity for Aloneness (High.affinity_for_aloneness-LowMod.social_anxiety) groups. These groups did not differ longitudinally in adjustment. Having elevated levels of affinity for aloneness without high social anxiety is relatively benign.
Model Error Compensator with Parallel Feed-Forward Filter

: Design methods for control systems based on plant models have been developed for many years. If a mathe-matical model is accurately obtained from the input-output relation of a plant, then the designed controller for the model performs well for the control system connected with the plant. However, the desired control performance might not be achieved when there is an undeniable modeling error. To overcome this problem, the authors proposed the model error compensator (MEC) to minimize the e ﬀ ect of the modeling error between the plant and the model. The MEC works well for many control systems, such as unstable systems and non-linear systems. However applying the MEC to non-minimum-phase plants is di ﬃ cult because of their control system structures. Non-minimum-phase plants are well known for being di ﬃ cult to control. This paper proposes an MEC with a parallel feed-forward ﬁlter (PFF). The PFF is used to cancel the non-minimum-phase characteristics of the plant. The e ﬀ ectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated through numerical examples.
Relationship Between Abusive Supervision and Performance: The Role of Gender

Purpose: The study is to explain the relation between abusive supervision and employee’s performance. Methodology/Approach: The study presents a systematic review of journals indexed in Scopus, dedicated to abusive supervision, gender and performance. Findings: In this study, gender is conceptualized as a variable that can influence the pattern of relationship between abusive supervision and employee’s performance in short and long term. Practical Implications: Abusive supervision is potential to give positive impact on the employee’s performance when it is applied on the masculine gender in short term. However, in long term, high level abusive supervision can lead to lower performance with employees masculine gender. Originality/Value: The results of the study is expected to provide a new insight in the relation between abusive supervision and employee’s performance. Keyword: Abusive supervision, gender, employee’s performance. JEL Classification: D23, 015. Article Type: Research article.

User-centred design of an active computer gaming system for strength and balance exercises for older adults

Purpose Active computer gaming (ACG) is a way for older people to participate in strength and balance exercise. Involving older adults in the development of a bespoke ACG system may optimise its usability and acceptability. The purpose of this paper is to employ user-centred design to develop an ACG system to deliver strength and balance exercises, and to explore its safety, usability and acceptability in older adults. Design/methodology/approach This paper describes user involvement from an early stage, and its influence on the development of the system to deliver strength and balance exercise suitable for display on a flat screen or using an Oculus Rift virtual reality (VR) headset. It describes user testing of this ACG system in older adults. Findings Service users were involved at two points in the development process. Their feedback was used to modify the ACG system prior to user testing of a prototype of the ACG system by n=9 older adults. Results indicated the safety, usability and acceptability of the system, with a strong preference for the screen display. Research limitations/implications The sample size for user testing was small; however, it is considered to have provided sufficient information to inform the further development of the system. Practical implications Findings from user testing were used to modify the ACG system. This paper identified that future research could explore the influence of repeated use on the usability and acceptability of ACG in older adults. Originality/value There is limited information on the usability and acceptability VR headsets in this population.
“Athlete suspended for presence of banned substance”: A storied approach to protecting student-athletes from doping in sport

ABSTRACT Banned substance use is a growing issue among student-athlete populations but limited research has addressed this concern. The aim of this research was therefore to explore the lived experience of a sanctioned student-athlete in order to expose the contexts and experiences surrounding their sanction and illuminate student-athlete specific doping risk factors. A narrative approach was adopted and one male student-athlete (“Tyler”) serving a doping sanction was interviewed. Data is presented in the form of a creative non-fiction story. The story demonstrates the interplay between multiple risk factors that ultimately combined and led to Tyler’s doping sanction. Injury and supplementation emerged as particularly significant, as did Tyler’s family life. Informed by the story presented, practical implications are offered for supporting student-athletes in avoiding banned substance use. It is hoped that the story will trigger a critical conversation and collective effort towards proactively protecting student-athletes from their doping susceptibility.
EFFECTIVENESS OF THE CONCEPTUAL CHANGE METHOD ON UNDERSTANDING PLANT MASS INCREASE

This research aimed to assess the influence of the method of conceptual change on understanding the concept of increasing the mass of plants among 414 students in agricultural education in Slovenia. In photosynthesis, biomass is produced, so understanding these processes is essential for successful agriculture. Data were collected using a knowledge test and a questionnaire that were administered before and after the traditional and experimental teaching units. The results allowed the conclusion that the method of the conceptual change (experimental teaching unit) was significantly more effective than the traditional method in improving the understanding of the contribution of solar energy and carbon dioxide to the increase in the mass of plants. There was no significant difference in the improvement of knowledge about the contribution of the minerals that plants receive through their roots. Understanding the contribution of water to the increase of the mass should be tested further because of the unexpected misconception that influenced the results that was found among students. Students’ attitudes toward biology and photosynthesis were significantly better after the experimental teaching unit. Considering these findings, other topics should be prepared using the method of the conceptual change to assist biology and science teachers in agricultural education. Keywords: agricultural education, biology education, conceptual change, photosynthesis, plant mass.
‘Graffiti takes its own space’

The politics of graffiti and street art are often described in binary terms: criminalization of graffiti enhances its oppositional potential; its legalization destroys its counter hegemonic essence. In order to add nuance to this binary understanding of street art and graffiti, we examine the complex responses of street artists and graffiti writers to Decreto 75 (‘Decree 75’), an ordinance deployed by the mayoral administration of Gustavo Petro between 2011 and 2015 to formally regulate street art and graffiti writing in Bogotá, Colombia. In contradiction to previous policies that criminalized this subculture, this new legal framework promoted so called ‘responsible and artistic’ graffiti and street art, in part to support the ideology and political priorities of the Petro administration via muralist tropes long common in the Latin American city. We also examine the heterogeneous reactions of artists to this more permissible governance approach, drawing on interviews, photography, and active participation in the street art community in Bogotá. Since most research examining graffiti as a mode of contestation has been conducted in cities where street art and graffiti writing is criminalized, the case of Bogotá illuminates the implications of decriminalization strategies for the politics, practices, and meanings of contemporary graffiti and street art.
In the Public Interest

Interestingly, in the public interest that you really wait for now is coming. It's significant to wait for the representative and beneficial books to read. Every book that is provided in better way and utterance will be expected by many peoples. Even you are a good reader or not, feeling to read this book will always appear when you find it. But, when you feel hard to find it as yours, what to do? Borrow to your friends and don't know when to give back it to her or him.
The ‘ balancing acts ’ of building positive relationships with students: Secondary school teachers' perspectives in England and Spain Teaching and Teacher Education

(cid:1) Relationship building is not unambiguously seen as a central aspect of effective teaching. (cid:1) Teachers mostly frame relationship building as each teacher's personal choice. (cid:1) Teachers feel they need to juggle con ﬂ icting elements in their relationships with students. (cid:1) Teachers experience challenges in managing authority and relationships, especially with behaviourally challenging students. (cid:1) Strengthening teachers' skills to build relationships while protecting their well-being should be a priority. This qualitative study explores teachers' views on the salience of relationships with students in their professional roles, and the bene ﬁ ts and potential tensions associated with relationship building. Thematic analyses of semi-structured interviews conducted in England and Spain with 20 secondary school teachers show an ambiguous status of relationship building, with diverse views on its centrality in teachers' professional roles. Teachers also describe the complex balancing acts they perform in re- lationships with students and express dif ﬁ culties and uncertainties around well-being, authority, and student behaviour. Despite teachers' legal duty of care towards students, relational can provide additional on perspectives about student-teacher relationships and on how teachers in different contexts perceive this study aims to explore (1) the salience of relationships with students in how teachers de ﬁ ne their professional roles and (2) teachers' views about the bene ﬁ ts and potential tensions associated with relationship building, in two different cultural settings: England and Spain.

Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Portuguese Version of the Life Skills Scale for Sport

ABSTRACT This research adapted the Life Skills Scale for Sport (LSSS) into Portuguese and provided evidence for its construct validity. Study 1 included four translators and five academics who developed a Portuguese version of the LSSS (P-LSSS). During this study, evidence for the content and substantive aspects of construct validity was provided using an expert panel and 25 sports participants. Study 2 included 413 participants that completed the P-LSSS. Within this study, evidence for the structural aspect of construct validity was provided via factor analyses. Study 3 included 134 participants who completed the P-LSSS and a measure of motivation. This study provided evidence for the external aspect of construct validity, with results showing more self-determined motivation had positive relationships with participant’s life skills development. Overall, our findings provided evidence for the construct validity of P-LSSS scores. Researchers and practitioners can use the P-LSSS to assess life skills development within sports participants.
Book review: David Miller, Fatih Bayram, Jason Rothman and Ludovica Serratrice (Eds.), Bilingual cognition and language: The state of the science across its subfield

The present paper reviews the Bilingual cognition and language: the state of science across its subfield edited by Miller, Bayram, Rothman and Ludovicaserratrice (2018). The editor's goal is to provide a general overview of bilingualism and its implications for understanding the brain, language development and processing, and the social and educational aspects of different types of bilingualism. There are 17 chapters of this collection divided into main parts; (1) theoretical accounts, (2) child bilingualism, (3) adult bilingualism, and (4) bilingual cognition, neuroscience, and impairment. Each chapters grouping is dedicated to delineating key concepts in the field of bilingualism.
In the Long Run: Physical Activity in Early Life and Cognitive Aging

A certain degree of age-related cognitive decline is normal; however, some people retain more cognitive function than others. Cognitive impairment is associated with an increased risk of dementia. Thus, understanding the factors that contribute to cognitive reserve is crucial, so effective strategies for the prevention of dementia can be developed. Engaging in physical activity can delay cognitive decline and reduce the risk of dementia and a number of early life conditions have been shown to have long-lasting effects on cognition. This mini-review combines these two observations to evaluate the evidence from both animal models and epidemiological studies for physical activity in early life (≤30 years) delaying cognitive decline in later life (cognition tested ≥60 years). Three epidemiological studies were found; two showed a positive association and one found none. The latter was deemed to have an unreliable method. A review of animal studies found none that analyzed the effect of physical activity in early life on cognition in later life. However, in rodent models that analyzed mid-life cognition, runners showed improved cognition and enhanced adult hippocampal neurogenesis, changes which were preserved across the life span. Currently, there is insufficient evidence to conclude whether physical activity in early life may delay cognitive decline in later life, but these results indicate that further studies are warranted. Future human research should be in the form of longitudinal studies that begin below ≤15 years and assess sex differences. Crucially, the physical activity data must define type, quantity and intensity of exercise.
In-service Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Teacher Development: an Action Research Project in Teachers’ Professional Learning

All teacher education programmes require to handle complex layers of learning because they are teaching teachers to teach. Arguably a programme involving Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), preparing experienced school teachers to teach curriculum subjects in a target foreign language (usually English), has an additional layer of complexity. This chapter describes an action research approach to the investigation of a CLIL teacher education programme and indicates that a pedagogy aligned to action research seems effective in such contexts. There is an indication that action research based pedagogy applied to CLIL teacher education can lay the foundation for inquiry-based professional learning where teachers develop as practitioner-researchers who are able to improve their own practice and also apply research methods to systematically validate their work, thus contributing to the body of CLIL research.
Digital Mechanisms of Development of Possessory Risk Management Systems under New Economic Conditions

Under the dynamically changing current conditions characterized with a significant number of possibilities and risks, occurrence of new variants of business process modifications and continuous transformations of state regulation mechanisms, the key task of the organization management systems development must be increased flexibility of the decisions developed thereby in the course of accounting and constant tracking new risk forms and types in general, and possessory risks in particular. Despite constantly growing volumes of owners’ and other stakeholders’ contributions in possessory risk management tools, possessory risk management processes and processes supporting the whole system of management of regulatory requirements under current conditions mainly do not take into account the rate of changes in the external environment and remain unsusceptible to processes taking place in other sub-systems of the organization management, and information about risks accumulated within them, are fragmental in nature. We believe that improved efficiency of possessory risk management systems may be achieved through implementation of digital mechanisms and risk management tools in their structure. This article represents the vision of authors on how the digitization process runs in the organization’s possessory risk management systems.

Using Social-Emotional Learning to Help Behavioral Problems

This Capstone Project focused on Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) to help manage behavioral problems that students may face. A class of 25 fourth-grade students attending a public K-5 school participated in this Capstone Project. SEL teachings were condensed into a four-week lesson plan which focused on various skills, catered to help this class’ specific deficits. To match the students’ needs, the lessons were designed to promote positive participation and raise self-esteem so students feel comfortable sharing out during discussions. The students learned what perseverance and encouragement meant to them and participated in activities relating to these skills. By the end of the four weeks, students showed a higher rate of participation in classroom discussions. SEL is a valuable tool that all educators should learn because it allows them to give their students the necessary tools they need to succeed both in and out of school.
“We Sleep with One Eye Open”: Exploring the Experiences of Churches in Rivers State, Nigeria

In instances of insecurity in many societies, churches “also” suffer. Yet there is a dearth of literature exploring the experiences of churches in connection with situations of insecurity. This study, therefore, explored the experiences of churches in the face of the high rate of insecurity in Rivers State, Nigeria. Information was elicited from 16 church leaders of different denominations in different communities in Rivers State. Using a descriptive narrative approach, the study found that churches’ experiences in some communities in the state are reflections of helplessness and despair due to the incidences of cultism, kidnapping, armed robbery, etc. Many churches in some of the embattled communities have been deserted or left with a few older people. This has had negative impacts on evangelism and the churches’ economy, with the clergy at the receiving end. The implications of findings for the government and churches are discussed.
