Misinformation and harmful language are interconnected, rather than distinct, challenges
Authors: Mosleh Mohsen , Cole Rocky , Rand David Gertler
Published: January 2024

There is considerable concern about users posting misinformation and harmful language on social media. Substantial - yet largely distinct - bodies of research have studied these two kinds of problematic content. Here, we shed new light on both research streams by examining the relationship between the sharing of misinformation and the use of harmful language. We do so by creating and analyzing a dataset of 8,687,758 posts from N=6,832 Twitter users, and a dataset of N=14,617 true and false headlines from professional fact-checking websites. Our analyses reveal substantial positive associations between misinformation and harmful language. On average, Twitter posts containing links to lower quality news outlets also contain more harmful language (β=-0.10); and false headlines contain more harmful language than true headlines (β=-0.19). Additionally, Twitter users who share more links to low quality news sources also use more harmful language - even in non-news posts that are unrelated to (mis)information (β=-0.08). These consistent findings across different datasets and levels of analysis suggest that misinformation and harmful language are related in important ways, rather than being distinct phenomena. At the same, however, the strength of associations is not sufficiently high to make the presence of harmful language a useful diagnostic for information quality: most low quality information does not contain harmful language, and a considerable fraction of high quality information does contain harmful language. Overall, our results underscore important opportunities to integrate these largely disconnected strands of research and understand their psychological connections.

प्रस्तुत आलेख पुतली विषयक नेपाली बालगीत र बालकवितामा रहेका स्थायीभावजन्य सौन्दर्यको अध्ययनमा आधारित छ । पूर्वीय काव्यशास्त्रमा विभाव, अनुभाव, व्यभिचारी भावको संयोगबाट उत्पन्न स्थायीभावलाई रसनिष्पत्तिको मूल आधार मानिएको छ । बालगीत र बालकविताको लक्ष्य विविध भाव सिर्जनाका माध्यमबाट भावकलाई आनन्दित तुल्याउनु हो । यस अध्ययनमा शोधसमस्या अनुरूप निर्मित सैद्धान्तिक पर्याधारका आधारमा नेपाली बालगीत र बालकविताका कृतिको सम्यक् पठन गरी सजीव र खेलौना पुतली विषयक नेपाली बालगीत र बालकविताका केही सामग्रीको सङ्कलन, वर्गीकरण र विश्लेषण गरिएको छ । यस विश्लेषणमा पुतलीको स्वभाव, सौन्दर्य, भेषभूषाका साथै उसप्रति राखिएको माया, ममता, स्नेह, आत्मीयतामा रति स्थायीभाव, झुसिल्किराजस्तो डरलाग्दो जीव पुतलीमा रूपान्तर भएको, रङ्गीचङ्गी फूलमा बहुरङ्गी पुतली खेलेको, पुतलीको शारीरिक क्रिया र रूपसौन्दर्य पनि अनौठो मानिएको सन्दर्भमा विस्मय स्थायीभाव तथा पुतलीको फुर्र फुर्र उडाइको दृश्यबिम्ब, पुतलीलाई दिइएको फूलपरी, फूलझुली र फूलकीरीजस्ता कथनमा हाँसो स्थायीभावको सौन्दर्य थपिएको छ । यसरी स्थायीभावको सौन्दर्यका दृष्टिले हाँसो र विस्मय स्थायीभावका तुलनामा रति स्थायीभावका पुतली विषयक नेपाली बालगीत र बालकविता कलात्मक रहेका पाइन्छन् ।

Policy Implications: Young investors are found to be more risk tolerant in this study, and with proper guidance and training to them on stock market, it helps for the stability of the stock market mechanism. Moreover, power distance and uncertainty avoidance are high in Nepal, where investors tend to be under the guidance of their seniors, and invest if they find it worthy enough for them, even if it's risky. Now, taking this as an opportunity, various relevant training sessions to investors can be done by the board itself in the aspect of ESG Investment, Valuable Investment.

Originality/Value: This research adds value by examining factors affecting risk tolerance among Nepali investors, blending demographics and cultural influences. It suggests the potential benefits of guiding young investors and leveraging cultural tendencies toward senior guidance for market stability
Zangezur Corridor: Economic Potential and Political Constraints

For many centuries, the South Caucasus has been a crossroads of civilizations and a geo-economic hub of the Eurasian continent. In the near future, transportation routes connecting Europe and Asia are to include the North-South and East-West-Middle Corridors, Lazurite Transit, and some other projects. In recent years, the so called Zangezur Corridor—a hypothetical transport link in the South Caucasus—has been gaining relevance. According to the authors of this initiative, the corridor will run across the 40-kilometer zone of Armenia’s Syunik region bordering Iran. The new road corridor is expected to be part of a longer route from Central Asia or China to Turkey and from there to Europe. The new overland route in the South Caucasus may be connected to the Trans-Caspian International Transport Corridor. Such logistics promises obvious economic dividends for some countries in the region, while at the same time bearing political constraints that may impede the project’s implementation.

In recent years, the EU has been integrating the categories of ‘sovereignty’ and ‘geopolitical’ into its discourse. This article aims to identify whether the use of the same terms signifies that Moscow and Brussels are about to find a “common language.” Theoretically, the article is based on critical geopolitics, which helps to disclose common elements in the interpretations of sovereignty and geopolitics, as well as fundamental distinctions in the way these categories are integrated in the discourses of the European Union and Russia. The study shows that the EU’s adaptation of the language of realism further complicates communication between Moscow and Brussels.

The article discusses NATO’s evolution after the end of the Cold War with an emphasis on the changes that have occurred since 2014 NATO’s policy and strategy are analyzed in the context of changes in the U.S. national security strategy and policy and the evolution of Washington’s approach to great-power confrontation, and the gradual emergence of U.S.-China rivalry. The key goal is to make American allies step up their military-political activity in the interests of the United States. The United States was able to significantly increase bloc discipline and make the EU pursue a policy that meets Washington’s needs. NATO poses an essential threat to Russia. To prevent escalation and incidents, it is necessary to maintain communication channels between Moscow and Brussels.

AMRI Hospitals has three hospitals in Kolkata and one in Bhubaneswar in the eastern part of India. With its 5000 doctors and employees, they serve 450,000 patients annually. The group incurred an operating loss in the first quarter of 2020-21 due to the covid pandemic. The pandemic continued; the subsequent quarterly financial result was not encouraging as they have merely scrapped through operating losses. AMRI Hospitals are feeling challenged: It needs to expedite covid vaccination program to cover the maximum number of people; It needs to decide about continuing with its two centers in Bangladesh since these have become almost non-viable due to restrictions on international travel due to the pandemic; It needs to develop an economic model for treating the patients covered under the state government-funded insurance scheme 'Swasthya Sathi' as offered rates are not meeting the expenses.
Does Air Exist in Vases? Mental Representations of Children 4-6 Years Old
Authors: Kontili Evanthia-Markella , Kaliampos George , Ravanis Konstantinos
Published: January 2024

Introduction. One of the prominent domains of research in the context of Early Childhood Science Education is the study of mental representations of 3-8 years old children about phenomena and concepts of science, as they are formed in school knowledge. Along this line, research has been conducted on various fields. Among them a small number of studies has turned to the concept of air. Basic mental representations of air indicate that young children do not recognize it as a material entity and are strongly influenced in their predictions by factors related to elements of experimental situations.
Goal. The current research aims to explore the mental representations of 4-6 year old children about the existence of air in vases.
Methods of the Research. The study was qualitative in nature and the sample was 41 children aged 4-6 years (26 children 4-5 years and 15 children 5-6 years). The research was conducted using semi-directed individual interviews. Children were asked, through 6 diverse tasks, to express their view regarding the existence of air in closed and open vases that were located in ‘closed’ or ‘open rooms’ as well as in the outdoor environment. Discussions were based on 6 digital pictures depicted in the tasks.
The Results. Our findings showed that rather few responses were consistent with school knowledge. Among them, the fewest sufficient answers were in the tasks that dealt with closed vases. While the differences in responses between closed and open vases were not statistically significant, they were nevertheless systematically recorded. In addition, quite interestingly a substantial number of children regarded open window as an important factor in the existence of air in the vases. In general, children's answers were dominated by pre-logical explanations, instability in responses among different tasks as well as centrations regarding different parts of the pictures.
Conclusions. In the current study became evident that the identification of children's difficulties regarding the existence of air in closed vases allows a series of rational choices at multiple levels: in the design of teaching activities, in the formulation of curricula, in the development of educational material and in teacher training. The need to extend the research to other areas related to the conceptualization of air was also highlighted.

Published: January 2024

BACKGROUND

Cervical spondyloptosis is a serious condition scarcely encountered by spine surgeons. Few cases have been reported in the literature. There are no general guidelines for their management, especially in delayed cases. The authors describe their surgical technique for the management of cervical spondyloptosis 45 days after the trauma.

OBSERVATIONS

A 28-year-old patient was admitted 45 days after head and cervical trauma leading to quadriplegia with muscular strength at the C5 level. Cervical computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance imaging revealed C6–7 spondyloptosis with complete slippage of the C6 vertebral body in front of C7. Posterior and anterior cervical spine approaches during the same surgery allowed decompression and stabilization, leading to a dramatic improvement in the neurological deficit. The patient was able to walk 18 months later with near normal balance.

LESSONS

Traumatic cervical spondyloptosis requires early management to increase the possibility of decompression through anatomical realignment and stabilization. In delayed cases, a combined anterior and posterior cervical spine approach according to our technique allows decompression and stabilization with a good postoperative outcome possible.

Background: Health warnings displayed on tobacco products are important sources of health information for the community.

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the awareness, perceptions and attitudes towards the impact of health warnings on cigarette packages of a community in Nicosia, where no previous data was available.

Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 629 cafe attendants in Nicosia in October 2019, using a structured questionnaire to determine the impact of pictorial and text-only cigarette pack warnings. Since cigarette packs include only text-only warnings in Northern Cyprus, sample pictorial warnings from Turkey were presented to the participants.The data were analysed by IBM–SPSS-18.0 to compare perceptions regarding sex, age, smoking status with significance level accepted as p<0.05.

Results: Of all the participants, 48%were smokers and smokers among men were significantly higher (56.8%) than women (40.6%). The results demonstrated that 71.2% of the participants were aware of the health warnings on packages and 59.4% rated health warnings as effective. Stronger pictorial health warnings were deemed as more effective. However, 65.6% of the “smoker” group were not aware of the warnings.There were significant differences between smokers and non-smokers regarding perceptions of pictorial warnings. Non-smokers, including former smokers adopted positive views more; 54% of ex-smokers declared health warnings had contributed to their quitting process.

Conclusion: The perceptions of the non-smokers of this community group displayed more positive attitudes towards health warnings. This study has pointed to the urgent need for the implementation of pictorial warnings for smokers in Northern Cyprus.

The topic of well-being in the built environment has garnered substantial attention in recent years. Particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were confined indoors and had limited access to nature, the importance of spaces allowing some level of outdoor interaction was more recognized. This study aims to investigate the potential impact of incorporating vegetation in the design of high-rise residential building balconies on well-being. Immersive Virtual Reality Environment (IVRE) was utilized, and an experiment was conducted with 45 participants. Participants were randomly assigned to one of the three distinct groups, each group consisted of two different VR environments. The balcony with no vegetation was kept the same in all three groups. The second environment was one of the three version of the balcony with certain volume of greenery added to its design (Low-Medium-High). Participants were then interviewed based on a standard questionnaire assessing well-being in the built environment. The questions aimed at determining which balcony design was more effective in enhancing well-being.

The results indicate that greenery on the balcony has the potential to influence people’s well-being. The findings indicated that balconies featuring greenery demonstrated significant impact on individuals’ well-being. In such environments, individuals reported increased happiness, satisfaction, a sense of connection to others, greater independence, and an improved ability to accomplish tasks successfully, ultimately contributing to improved mental health. Further analysis demonstrated that the volume of greenery on the balcony does not significantly impact well-being. In other words, well-being can be enhanced even with a small amount of greenery, such as a few potted plants. Moreover, the results revealed that the reported positive impacts were not significantly moderated by participants’ differences in age and gender.
