Old and New-Old Theories of Income Distribution
Authors: Tonveronachi M.
Published: October 2021

The purpose of the paper is to recall the main features of Keynes's theory of income distribution in order to evaluate those recent contributions that go under the label of new Keynesian theory. To this end, a succinct overview of some leading pre-Keynesian theories and of Keynes approach in his Treatise on Money is first offered. After that, some exercises with the set of hypotheses on which the Treatise is based and a discussion of the General Theory clarify the theoretical operation proposed by Keynes. It is finally argued that the new Keynesian contributions are both analytically faulty and not coherent with Keynes’s vision of the working of the capitalist system.

We aimed to determine the diagnostic accuracy of maternal renal vasculature Doppler ultrasound indices in the prediction of preeclampsia. A total of 40 pregnant women with a gestational age of more than 20 weeks were included and followed. The pregnant women underwent a Doppler ultrasound examination to measure the resistance index (RI) of the interlobar arteries of right and left kidneys and the renal interlobar vein impedance index (RIVI). Of the included women, 15 patients developed preeclampsia based on clinical and laboratory criteria. The renal vascular Doppler ultrasound indices were compared between the two groups. Then, using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis, the diagnostic accuracy of interlobar artery RI and RIVI were investigated in the prediction of preeclampsia occurrence. RIVI values of right and left kidneys were significantly higher in the preeclampsia group compared to the normal pregnancy group. The left kidney interlobar artery RI at a cut-point of 0.59 had a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 40% (area under curve=0.7, P-0.03) in the prediction of preeclampsia. The RIVI of the left kidney (adjusted odds ratio=17.14, 95% CI = 3.46 to 47.28) was statistically significant in predicting preeclampsia (P-0.006). We found that, besides other routine methods, using Doppler ultrasound and measuring RIVI can be reliable in the prediction of preeclampsia.
The Making of the film Bridge (2016): The Alchemic Process of Transforming Self and Society
Authors: Biswas Amit R.
Published: October 2021

The author and director of the film Bridge (2016), Amit R. Biswas, reflects on the process of film-making, using strategies that deal with self (and, therefore, social) transformation through art. In a sort of inner confession monologue, he delves not only into the more anecdotal part of the logistics and economic tour-de-force problems that producing a film involve; but also, and more interestingly, in the causes, nuances, and psychological details that are contained in the plot. Seen as a process of catharsis and posterior anagnorisis, the film unveils the subtle influences that underlie human contact, the transformation of the human psyche by means of compassionate attitudes, and the mutual redemption suffered by the seeming victim and his apparent saviour, in a sort of alchemic metempsychosis released by mutual understanding and empathy.

Cotton is an excessive growing fiber crop in the world. In Pakistan, climate warming is hurting the cotton crop. To identify countermeasures of climate change impacts on crop production, it is needed to explore the changes in crop yield and their relationship to climate change. This study, we conducted spatial analysis of cotton yield and climate data in the Indus River basin in Pakistan from 1989- 2018. We analyzed the trend in cotton production indices and climate variables using the Mann-Kendal nonparametric test, and the impact of climate change on cotton yield through Pearson’s correlation and best-subset multivariate linear regression model. Sunshine hours positively impacted on cotton yield, but an increasing trend in average temperature, minimum temperature and air relative humidity in main crop areas had a negative impact on the cotton crop. Our results illustrate the relationship between the cotton yield and climate change variables on regional basis in the Indus River basin, Pakistan. This research could provide a reference for understanding the intolerance of cotton in the Indus River basin, Pakistan to climate change.

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) refers to broad spectrum of genetic diseases characterized by peripheral resistance to Parathormone (PTH). This condition leads to hypocalcaemia, hyperphosphatemia and elevated PTH concentrations. There is scant literature on PHP in pregnancy with 9 cases published. The treatment of the disease in pregnant women is challenging and the main target is to avoid hyper/hypocalcemia to prevent maternal adverse effects and to protect fetal parathyroid glands development. We report a rare case of PHP type 1b in pregnant woman treated with a tailored therapy.

Published: October 2021

As part of the marginalized and minority group, members of the LGBTQ++ community have a lot of different experiences compared to heterosexual males and females. Being in the stage of identity formation, adolescent gays and lesbians have conflicting and complicated experiences. Their motivation to achieve self-actualization is affected by societal expectations and peer influences. This study aimed to explore how adolescent gays and lesbians try to achieve self-actualization and how the school environment could assist them since they spend most of their time inside the walls of educational institutions. This is done by using thematic analysis. The results indicate that self-worth, gender, coming-out, and motivation are the dominant themes related to the self-actualization of gay and lesbian adolescents. The results also indicated that an inclusive campus climate could promote self-actualization. The role of peers, family members, and the school community is very important in the process. A program that includes a proposed school policy for members of the LGBTQ++ community had been developed in response to the results of the current study. It is recommended that schools should take into consideration the LGBTQ++ students in formulating policies for the entire student body. Schools should also promote the creation of groups and facilitation of activities for LGBTQ++ students.

Madre y recién nacido son nociones inseparables que deben ser abordadas clínicamente como un solo concepto. La falta de atención médica durante el embarazo y parto, así como la ausencia de atención inmediata del recién nacido van a comprometer la supervivencia y pronóstico de la salud del recién nacido. Sin duda, existe un vínculo estrecho entre la tasa de mortalidad materna y la tasa de mortalidad neonatal. Cada año, aproximadamente, 31 millones de personas sufren un episodio de sepsis. De estos, unos 6 millones de personas fallecen a causa de la misma. En los países de bajos y medianos ingresos la carga de la sepsis es más elevada y representa una de las causas principales de muerte maternal y neonatal. Pese a ello, resulta muy difícil hacer una valoración de la carga de la enfermedad a nivel mundial debido a las limitaciones en el diagnóstico y la notificación. La neonatología es la rama disciplinaria de la pediatría que se dedica al estudio y manejo integral del ser humano desde su nacimiento hasta los 28 días de vida extrauterina. Los principales pacientes de los neonatólogos son los neonatos o recién nacidos, en lo que respecta a la valoración de su desarrollo normal, así como diagnóstico y tratamiento de sus trastornos y enfermedades. Se entiende por «RECIÉN NACIDO» el producto de la concepción desde el nacimiento hasta los 28 días de edad. Los primeros 28 días de vida constituyen la etapa más vulnerable para la supervivencia del ser humano. El organismo del recién nacido debe adaptarse rápidamente a su vida fuera del útero y realizar muchos cambios que inician al momento del nacimiento y continúan a través del período neonatal. Los cambios fisiológicos que implica el paso de la vida intrauterina a la extrauterina son los que determinan las características que distinguen al recién nacido normal de aquellos que nacen con alguna patología.

Although the trend is emerging in all probability and they are facing similar trends with other countries. The derivation of the general geodemographic picture is a reason for the region to choose the implementation of European integration policies and programs that are consistent with the regional geodemographic approach of individual countries. In practice, bringing geodemographic problems to the forefront can be a successful milestone in the rapid and effective integration of these countries into the European Union.
The applicability of solid state characterization and analytical techniques for reference chemical substance certification: Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) 166/2017 by National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA)
Authors: Dezena Renan
Published: October 2021

Reference chemical substances called primary reference are used which are marketed by official compendia both nationally and internationally in the pharmaceutical industry as a tool for identification and quantification during pre-formulation, development/analytical validation and quality control studies. The reference or primary standards are almost always imported and resold in the Brazilian market as a consequence, increasing the cost in relation to the sample amount (little amount of mass in mg per bottle). On July 24, 2017, the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) published the Resolution of the Collegiate Board (RDC) number 166, which deals with the validation of analytical methods. The Chapter III of this resolution is intended for reference chemical substances and, in Art. 14 § 1, the RDC 166/2017 allows the use of characterized reference chemical substances in the analytical validations. The characterization study is planned according to the chemical structure of the substance to be characterized and within this new regulation, solid-state characterization and analytical chemistry stands out as an essential ally corroborating with the evolution of the number of publications in the literature regarding this subject in the google scholar database as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

Authors: Tatarkanov Aslan , Aleksandrov Islam , Mihaylov Maksim , Muranov Aleksandr
Published: October 2021

The paper analyzes the prospects for using applied mathematical and algorithmic support for the study of the sealing ability of contact sealing connections of isolation valves. To ensure the operability of the equipment, it is necessary to determine the required level of sealing forces (contact pressures) that affect the weight and size characteristics of the product. The relevance of the study is related to the task of reducing the amount of time and material resources at the stage of design and experimental testing of pipeline fittings. The purpose of this work is to develop methods for automated assessment of the tightness of contact sealing connections to develop proposals for reducing the required level of contact pressures and weight and size characteristics of isolation valves. The paper presents an overview and analytical study of methods for determining the tightness of contact sealing connections, as well as a mathematical apparatus for modeling surface irregularities and defining sealing characteristics of isolation valve connections. An algorithm for evaluating these parameters has been developed, which modules can be further implemented as software for automating the assessment of the tightness of contact sealing connections at various stages of designing isolation valves. The developed algorithm makes it possible to filter out irrelevant sets of design parameters at the early stages of design without the need for their experimental verification, which will reduce the total amount of time and material resources in the development of isolation valves of pipelines.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PECULIARITIES OF WOMEN WITH DIFFERENT LEVELS OF PROCRASTINATION
Authors:   Ivan Franko National University in Lviv, Levus Nadiia , Lysii Yustyna ,   Ivan Franko National University in Lviv
Published: October 2021

The paper examines personal characteristics that may affect the propensity for procrastination of women, in particular, self-esteem, self-regulation, the ability to make and implement decisions. Cluster analysis was used for the division of the participants into groups according to the level of propensity for procrastination. The clustering took into account the indicators on the scales of the methods "Scale of general procrastination" by C. H. Lay and "Procrastination scale" by B. W. Tuckman. Based on the clustering tree and the k-means method, two clusters with high and low levels of procrastination were determined. Further differences between these groups were analyzed on the basis of comparative, correlation and factor analysis. Women prone to procrastination show lower levels of self-esteem, self-regulation and subjective control. The external locus of control is combined with a tendency to procrastinate and delay the decision-making. The internal dissatisfaction with themselves, negativism in assessing their abilities and readiness for self-blame were observed. The inability to plan one's behavior, to build realistic, detailed, hierarchical, effective plans affects the tendency to procrastinate both in everyday affairs and in decision-making. As shown by factor analysis, these participants can overcome their procrastination tendencies by increasing a positive attitude towards themselves and their abilities, as well as developing the ability to manage their arbitrary behavior during the process of setting and achieving goals. Women who are not prone to procrastination are internally motivated, tend to build adequate and constructive plans for the future, demonstrate a high level of self-regulation determined by intrinsic motivators. Programming life goals, taking into account external and internal conditions, evaluation of the results and correction of their activity play an important role in various areas of activity of this category of women. Based on comparative and factor analysis, it can be argued that self-regulation plays a key role in overcoming the desire to procrastinate and put things off.

Authors:   Institute of Personnel Training of the State Employment Service of Ukraine, Podolska Anna
Published: October 2021

The article contains an exposition of the theoretical analysis of the main scientific approaches to the study of the concept of "anxiety states" and the differentiation and correlation of the concepts of anxiety, situational and personal anxiety, anxiety state. The psychological, physiological and social aspects of the emergence and manifestation of anxiety states are analyzed. Phobic to asthenic components of anxiety states are described. The reasons and consequences of anxiety in various senses of anxiety as an emotional and psychological state are considered. We see the importance of studying anxiety states in the growth trend of negative emotions in society, and in the demand for psychological support. Among modern methods of psychotherapy for anxiety states, we choose art therapy as one of the ecological means of overcoming feelings of fear, anger, shame and other negative emotional states. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of art therapy work with clay as a psychotherapeutic method of anxious personality states. A description is made and general characteristics and features of art therapy work with clay are given. Based on the study of a number of foreign studies on art therapy with clay, we saw evidence of a close correlation between the physiological and psychological aspects of human life through the experience of contact, as one of the very first basic personal experiences. When interacting with clay in the context of an art therapy process, each hand movement provides instant feedback to the brain, provides non-verbal access to psychological and sensorimotor processes. Natural clay is a natural, ecological and affordable material that provides the creation of three-dimensional objects and naturally promotes significant psychological processes through touch, revealing significant information about the inner world of the creators. Therefore, clay art therapy can be a powerful tool for solving many basic problems and stimulating an individual to social-emotional development. The relevance of the upcoming study is due to the urgent need to use psychotherapeutic methods of an innovative and systemic nature in working with anxiety states. We determine the prospect of our research in the development of a program for a therapeutic program for anxiety states using clay as a method of art therapy.

Abstract Background: Natural products such as extracts of plants have been seen as a possible alternative to conventional therapies in the treatment and management of male infertility. This study aimed at investigating the testicular antioxidant and testosterone enhancing ability of the hydro-alcoholic extract of Rauvolfia vomitoria in male rats. Methods: Twenty-four male rats were divided into four groups of 6 rats each, treated daily with either vehicle (distilled water; 5 mL/kg) or hydro-ethanolic extract of R. vomitoria (20 mg/kg, 40 mg/kg, and 100mg/kg) for 60 days, and body weights recorded once every three days. At the end of the treatment, each animal was sacrificed, and reproductive organs were dissected out and weighed. Serum from capillary blood was used for testosterone quantification, while testicular homogenates were used for the estimation of antioxidant biomarkers. Results: Treatment with R. vomitoria extract did not alter the animal’s body weight. Instead, the extract at the dose of 40 mg/kg significantly increased (P< 0.05) the weights of all reproductive organs investigated. The plant extract also increased serum testosterone concentrations significantly (P< 0.05), with the highest effect observed in the animals treated with a dose of 40 mg/kg. Testicular antioxidant markers, thiobarbituric acid substances, glutathione, and catalase were equally improved (P< 0.05) by treatment with the plant extract at the dose of 40 mg/kg. Conclusion: Hydro-ethanolic extract of R. vomitoria portrayed beneficial pharmacological properties on reproductive organs, testicular antioxidants, and testosterone concentrations in male rats. These pharmacological activities support the traditional use of the plant in the management of male fertility disorders.

Many who suffer from eating disorders claim that they see themselves as “fat”. Despite decades of research into the phenomenon, behavioural evidence has failed to confirm that eating disorders involve visual misperception of own-body size. I illustrate the importance of this phenomenon for our understanding of perceptual processing, outline the challenges involved in experimentally confirming it, and provide solutions to those challenges.
Individual Differences in Memory and Attention Processes in Prospective Remembering
Authors: Ball Hunter , Wiemers Elizabeth A. , Brewer Gene Arnold
Published: October 2021

Successful prospective memory (PM) involves not only detecting that an environmental cue requires action (i.e., prospective component), but also retrieval of what is supposed to be done at the appropriate moment (i.e., retrospective component). The current study examined the role of attention and memory during PM tasks that placed distinct demands on detection and retrieval processes. Using a large-scale individual differences design, participants completed three PM tasks that placed high demands on detection (but low demands on retrieval) and three tasks that placed high demands on retrieval (but low demands on detection). Additionally, participants completed three attention control, retrospective memory, and working memory tasks. Latent variable structural equation modeling showed that the prospective and retrospective components of PM were jointly influenced by multiple cognitive abilities. Critically, attention and retrospective memory fully mediated the relation between working memory and prospective memory. Furthermore, only attention uniquely predicted PM detection, whereas only retrospective memory uniquely predicted PM retrieval. These findings highlight the value of independently assessing different PM components and suggest that both attention and memory abilities must be considered to fully understand the dynamic processes underlying prospective remembering.
What I Don’t Know Can Hurt You: Collateral Combat Damage Seems More Acceptable when Bystander Victims are Unidentified
Authors: Danielson Scott , Conway Paul , Vonasch Andrew
Published: October 2021

Four experiments (N=1563 American mTurkers) utilized a realistic moral dilemma: a military pilot must decide whether to bomb a dangerous enemy target, also killing a bystander. Few people endorsed bombing when the bystander was an innocent civilian; however, when the bystander’s identity was unknown, more than twice as many people endorsed the bombing. Follow-up studies tested why: people tend to assume an unidentified bystander is an enemy. Humanizing the bystander with a photograph and family history reduced bombing, an effect mediated via reduced inferences of enemy group membership—even though humanizing information contained no allegiance information. This pattern appears to reflect a general bias, rather than motivated reasoning about a specific conflict, as people responded similarly to fictional targets. This work has implications for conflicts where bystanders of uncertain allegiance or identity are common by revealing a potentially deadly bias: people often assume unidentified bystanders are guilty unless proven innocent.

Recent reports from Tourette Syndrome (TS) multiple clinical researcher groups in North America and Europe describe a recent increase in young patients presenting to TS clinics. Reported commonalities include a female preponderance, older age of first detected symptoms, complex behaviors, significant functional impairment, and similarities to behaviors recorded in popular videos on social media platforms, notably TikTok. Müller-Vahl, Pisarenko, Jakubovski, and Fremer (2021) jumped to the conclusion that this phenomenon is a “Mass Sociogenic Illness,” which we contend is not just premature but contrary to the current state of the evidence. This is a pressing matter of concern as their position is potentially harmful to patients and may hinder scientific and therapeutic progress. In the current response, we articulate scientific and ethical concerns about the Müller-Vahl et al. paper and advocate for a person-centered approach to supporting patients and studying this phenomenon.

Considering the immediate policy implications, the present study aimed to scope whether this is true in the context of understanding the effects of the coronavirus as well. We assessed relevant preprints with “coronavirus” or “COVID-19” as keywords published on PsyArxiv between March-April, 2020, as well as between May-December, 2020 in terms of samples, participants, and authors. We found that some countries, such as the US, were overrepresented in both waves; papers based on authors from such countries, and employing samples from such countries were also more likely to be published in journals with higher impact factors, and were also more likely to be cited more. Implications, especially regarding a reductionist bifurcation of research as “WEIRD” or “non-WEIRD,” are discussed.
Dissociable mechanisms for diverse prosocial behaviors: Counting skills predict sharing behavior, but not instrumental helping
Authors: Sohail Sifana , Dunfield Kristen , Chernyak Nadia
Published: October 2021

By the preschool age, children exhibit a diversity of prosocial behaviors that include both sharing resources and helping others. Though recent work has theorized that these prosocial behaviors are differentiated by distinct ages of emergence, developmental trajectories and underlying mechanisms, the experimental evidence in support of the last claim remains scant. The current study focuses on one such cognitive mechanism - numerical cognition - seeking to replicate and extend prior work demonstrating the strong link between children’s numerical cognition and precise sharing behavior, and further examining its relationship to instrumental helping. In line with theoretical perspectives favoring the differentiation of varieties of prosocial behaviors, we hypothesize that numerical cognition underlies precise sharing, but not precise helping behavior. Eighty-five 3 to 6-year-old children completed two procedurally similar tasks designed to elicit sharing and instrumental helping behavior, in addition to a Give-N task measuring their symbolic counting skills. Despite the procedural similarity, and the implicit norm of providing half (5 out of 10) stickers in both tasks, children’s counting proficiency predicted precise sharing, but not precise helping. These results indicate a unique relationship between children’s developing numerical cognition and behavioral fairness, providing empirical support for claims that varieties of prosocial behavior are supported by distinct underlying mechanisms.
Towards a Haudenosaunee Developmental Science: Perspectives From the Two Row Wampum
Authors: Fish Jillian
Published: October 2021

The Two Row Wampum belt represents a treaty between the Haudenosaunee and Dutch about how the two nations would coexist with each other in the context of settler colonialism. The oral tradition of the Two Row Wampum states that the Haudenosaunee would travel down the river of life in a canoe containing their ways of being and knowing, while the Dutch would travel alongside them in a ship with their own orientations to the world. However, the original principles of the Two Row Wampum contrast with the colonial realities of the Haudenosaunee. In an application of the Two Row Wampum to developmental science, in which the river is the life course, Mainstream developmental science is the ship, and Haudenosaunee developmental science is the canoe, I use the Principles of the Two Row Wampum to propose a Haudenosaunee perspective of the field. I compare this with how Mainstream developmental science dominates the field, marginalizing various Indigenous developmental sciences in a manner similar to the Betrayal of the Two Row Wampum. Though I recommend that Mainstream developmental science returns to the principles of the Two Row Wampum, I demonstrate that Indigenous developmental sciences operate beyond the constraints of developmental psychology by centering Indigenous ontologies and epistemologies to promote Indigenous futures.
An Improved Taxonomy of Creativity Measures Based on Salient Task Attributes
Authors: Weiss Selina , Wilhelm Oliver , Kyllonen Patrick
Published: October 2021

The assessment of creativity presents major challenges. The many competing and complementary ideas on measuring creativity have resulted in a wide diversity of measures, making it difficult for potential users to decide on their appropriateness. Prior research has proposed creativity assessment taxonomies, but we argue that these have shortcomings because they often were not designed to (a) assess the essential assessment features and (b) are insufficiently specified for reliably categorizing extant measures. Based on prior categorization approaches, we propose a new framework for categorizing creativity measures including the following attributes: (a) measurement approach (self-report, other-report, ability tests), (b) construct (e.g., creative interests and attitudes, creative achievements, divergent thinking), (c) data type generated (e.g., questionnaire data vs. accomplishments counts), (d) prototypical scoring method (e.g., consensual assessment technique; CAT), and (e) psychometric problems. We identified 228 creativity measures appearing in the literature since 1900 and classified each measure according to their task attributes by two independent raters (rater agreement Cohen’s kappa .83 to 1.00 for construct). We provide a summary of convergent validity evidence and psychometric shortcomings. We conclude with recommendations for using the taxonomy and some psychometric desiderata for future research.
The Likelihood Difference Heuristic and Binary Test Selection Given Situation-Specific Utilities
Authors: Nelson Jonathan D. , Rosenauer Christine , Crupi Vincenzo , Tentori Katya , Meder Björn
Published: October 2021

Consider the task of selecting a medical test to determine whether a patient has a particular disease. Normatively, this requires taking into account (i) the prior probability of the disease, (ii) the likelihood---for each available test---of obtaining a positive result if the medical condition is present or absent, respectively, and (iii) the utilities for both correct and incorrect treatment decisions based upon each possible test result. But these quantities may not be precisely known. Are there strategies that could help identify the test with the highest utility given incomplete information? Here we consider the Likelihood Difference Heuristic (LDH), a simple heuristic that selects the test with the highest difference between the likelihood of obtaining a true positive and a false positive test result, ignoring all other information. We prove that the LDH is optimal when the probability of the disease equals the therapeutic threshold, the probability for which treating the patient and not treating the patient have the same expected utility. By contrast, prominent models of the value of information from the literature, such as information gain, probability gain, and Bayesian diagnosticity, are not optimal under these circumstances. Further results show how, depending on the relationship of the therapeutic threshold and prior probability of the disease, it is possible to determine which likelihoods are more important for assessing tests' expected utilities. Finally, to illustrate the potential relevance for real-life contexts, we show how the LDH might be applied to choosing tests for screening of latent tuberculosis infection.
Who blames Brexit for their decision to leave the UK? The departure of skilled Germans from Britain after the referendum
Authors: Stawarz Nico , Witte Nils
Published: October 2021

Brexit created uncertainty for migrants living in the UK and a potential reason to leave the country. Some of the consequences of the Brexit referendum, such as the loss of skilled workers, may have been unintended. This article investigates the relevance of Brexit for German migrants who decided to return to Germany from the UK in the two years following the 2016 referendum. Our analysis relies on a register-based probabil-ity sample of German migrants. We find that more than half of German migrants from the UK assert that their decision to return was strongly affected by Brexit. Further-more, Brexit as a motive for returning positively correlates to dissatisfaction with the political situation, the lack of social security, and dissatisfaction with life in the coun-try as other reasons for their return. Our results indicate that skills and the Brexit re-turn motive are positively related. Whereas attachment to the UK does not affect whether German migrants blame Brexit for their return, those with better English skills and longer durations of stay are more likely to mention Brexit as a return mo-tive.
Effective strategies for changing public opinion: A literature review
Authors: Harris Jamie
Published: October 2021

Social movements often try to affect public opinion as a lever for legislation and other social change. This report provides a broad overview of research relating to (1) whether advocates can successfully influence public opinion and how they can do so most effectively, and (2) what the other causes of public opinion change are and how advocates can harness them. Key findings include that direct persuasion attempts to change attitudes (rather than behavior) tend to have “small” or “very small” short-term effects, but advocates may be able to have lasting indirect effects on public opinion via policy change or reframing the issues. We list factors that affect how persuasive messages are and make tentative suggestions for how advocates can cost-effectively leverage external influences on public opinion such as the media, celebrities, politicians, and policy.
