The impact of lecture playback speeds on concentration and memory
Authors: Merhavy Zachary I. , Bassett Lukas , Melchiorre Michelle , Hall Maureen P. M.
Published: July 2023

Background

The information required to be learned and retained by medical students has continued to increase over the years. The stress that medical students face has already been highlighted in several studies, however, this in combination with a post-pandemic educational system subsequently generated a shift in medical education towards asynchronous streaming of daily lectures as part of the curriculum with variable playback speed options.

Methods

This paper aims to study the effectiveness of playback speeds, principally that of 1.5x and 2x playback speeds. One objective of this study is to analyze the existing literature regarding how playback speeds may impact learning, and to highlight the need for additional research. It has become apparent that there is not enough literature to support the role that playback speeds have in concentration and/or long-term memory retention in medical students. Due to this lack of information on the topic, this paper additionally highlights a study conducted on second year medical students at one university to assess the associations that may exist between lecture playback speeds of 1.5x and 2x and concentration and long-term retention of memory.

Results

Based on the data collected, it was found that there was no significant difference in student concentration or long-term memory retention with regards to lecture playback speeds.

Conclusions

Although more studies are needed to better understand the topic, it is the current recommendation of the authorial team that students are free to watch medical school lectures at their preferred speed without worry of changes in learning ability.
Lens-related ocular emergencies (LROE) in dogs: treatment and visual outcome after late presentation of 90 eyes
Authors: Ali Khaled M. , Mostafa Ayman A.
Published: July 2023

Background

Lens-related emergencies need immediate medical intervention to reduce complications, minimize pain, and improve the chances of retaining vision. The present study aimed to demonstrate the common lens-related ocular emergencies in dogs and evaluate the short-term outcomes after the treatment of these cases. Sixty dogs (90 eyes) of different breeds were presented with unilateral (30 eyes, OD = 18, OS = 12) and bilateral (60 eyes) ocular abnormalities related to crystalline lens injury. Clinical, ultrasonographic, and laboratory examinations were achieved. Different treatment protocols were conducted after a complete ophthalmic examination and the associated clinical outcomes were evaluated.

Results

Mean (± SD) age of dogs at initial evaluation was 3.65 (± 2.4) years (range, 1˗12 years). Lens luxation and subluxation were diagnosed in 45 eyes (25 with anterior lens luxation, 15 with subluxation, and 5 with posterior lens luxation). Lens-induced anterior uveitis without ocular hypertension (n = 25 eyes), lens-induced uveitis with secondary glaucoma (uveitic glaucoma) (n = 15 eyes), and lens capsule disruption (n = 5 eyes) were also diagnosed. The vision was lost in all 5 eyes with posterior lens luxation and secondary glaucoma (100%), 18/25 eyes with anterior lens luxation (72%), and 5/15 eyes with lens subluxation (33.3%). Vision impairment was also identified in 10/25 eyes (40%) with unresponsive lens-induced anterior uveitis and in 5/5 eyes (100%) with traumatic rupture of the anterior lens capsule.

Conclusion

Crystalline lens pathology can cause a wide variety of ocular emergencies that may result in blindness. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for handling lens-related emergencies in dogs.
An intelligent approach of task offloading for dependent services in Mobile Edge Computing
Authors: Chen Jie , Leng Yajing , Huang Jiwei
Published: July 2023

With the growing popularity of Internet of Things (IoT), Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) has emerged for reducing the heavy workload at the multi-cloud core network by deploying computing and storage resources at the edge of network close to users. In IoT, services are data-intensive and event-driven, resulting in extensive dependencies among services. Traditional task offloading schemes face significant challenges in the IoT scenario with service dependencies. To this end, this paper proposes an intelligent approach for minimizing latency and energy consumption which jointly considers the task scheduling and resource allocation for dependent IoT services in MEC. Specifically, we establish the system model, communication model as well as computing model for performance evaluation by fully considering the dependent relationships among services, and an optimization problem is proposed for minimizing the delay and energy consumption simultaneously. Then, we design a layered scheme to deal with the service dependencies, and present detailed algorithms to intelligently obtain optimal task scheduling and resource allocation policies. Finally, simulation experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
The Impact of Sleep Interventions on Athletic Performance: A Systematic Review
Authors: Cunha Lúcio A. , Costa Júlio A. , Marques Elisa A. , Brito João , Lastella Michele , Figueiredo Pedro
Published: July 2023

Background

Sleep is essential for maximal performance in the athletic population. Despite that, the sport context has many factors that can negatively influence athletes’ sleep and subsequent recovery.

Objectives

The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the most recent literature regarding sleep interventions aimed at improving sleep and subsequent performance in athletes.

Methods

The present systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines and the PICOS approach. The search was conducted in May 2022 using the electronic database PubMed, SPORTDiscus via EBSCOhost, and Web of Science. Once extracted, studies were included if they met the following criteria: (1) participants were athletes of individual or team sports; (2) implemented an intervention aimed at improving sleep; (3) measured at least one objective performance/recovery outcome; and (4) reported the relationship between sleep and performance.

Results

The search returned 1584 records. Following the screening, a total of 25 studies met our inclusion criteria. All the included articles were intervention studies published between 2011 and 2021. The included studies implemented various sleep interventions, such as sleep hygiene, naps, sleep extension, light manipulation, cold water immersion, mindfulness, or a combination of two or more strategies. Sleep extension and naps were the most representative and most effective strategies to improve sleep and performance. Mindfulness and light manipulation demonstrated promising results, but more studies are needed to confirm these findings. Sleep hygiene, removing electronic devices at night, and cold water immersion had no effects on sleep and subsequent performance/recovery, but these results are based on a few studies only.

Conclusion

While acknowledging the limited amount of high-quality evidence reviewed, it appears that increasing sleep duration at night or through napping was the most effective interventions to improve physical and/or cognitive performance.

Authors: Farquharson Katherine A. , McLennan Elspeth A. , Belov Katherine , Hogg Carolyn J.
Published: July 2023

The Kroombit tinkerfrog (Taudactylus pleione) is a stream-dwelling amphibian of the Myobatrachidae family. It is listed as Critically Endangered and is at high risk of extinction due to chytridiomycosis. Here, we provide the first genome assembly of the evolutionarily distinct Taudactylus genus. We sequenced PacBio HiFi reads to assemble a high-quality long-read genome and identified the mitochondrial genome. We also generated a global transcriptome from a tadpole to improve gene annotation. The genome was 5.52 Gb in length and consisted of 4,196 contigs with a contig N50 of 8.853 Mb and an L50 of 153. This study provides the first genomic resources for the Kroombit tinkerfrog to assist in future phylogenetic, environmental DNA, conservation breeding, and disease susceptibility studies.

Authors: Devaraj Ankitha , Elsakka Mohamed , Makki Daoud , Zamir Muhammad , Dubey Vivek
Published: July 2023

Introduction: : The incidence of vascular injuries from arthroscopic surgeries has been reported to be 0.005%. Pseudoaneurysms account for 11% of those injuries. Case Report: In this case report, we discuss a 76-year-old female who presented with a pulsatile swelling in the right shoulder after 10 years following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Imaging confirmed the diagnosis of a posterior circumflex artery pseudoaneurysm. The patient was successfully embolised using a transradial approach with thrombosis of the pseudoaneurysm. Conclusion: Vascular injuries following arthroscopic shoulder surgery are rare. However, a pseudoaneurysm should be considered in patients who present with swelling at the surgical site, regardless of the post-operative interval. Keywords: Vascular injury, arthroscopy, circumflex artery pseudoaneurysm, embolisation.

Published: July 2023

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices are a flexible and effective platform for quantum precision measurement, and the lifetime of high-band atoms is an essential parameter for the performance of quantum sensors. In this work, we investigate the relationship between the lattice depth and the lifetime of D-band atoms in a triangular optical lattice and show that there is an optimal lattice depth for the maximum lifetime. After loading the Bose-Einstein condensate into D band of optical lattice by shortcut method, we observe the atomic distribution in quasi-momentum space for the different evolution time, and measure the atomic lifetime at D band with different lattice depths. The lifetime is maximized at an optimal lattice depth, where the overlaps between the wave function of D band and other bands (mainly S band) are minimized. Additionally, we discuss the influence of atomic temperature on lifetime. These experimental results are in agreement with our numerical simulations. This work paves the way to improve coherence properties of optical lattices, and contributes to the implications for the development of quantum precision measurement, quantum communication, and quantum computing.

Asymmetric phase modulation of light with parity-symmetry broken metasurfaces
Authors: Mikheeva Elena , Colom Rémi , Achouri Karim , Overvig Adam , Binkowski Felix , Duboz Jean-Yves , Cueff Sébastien , Fan Shanhui , Burger Sven , Alù Andrea , Genevet Patrice
Published: July 2023

The design of wavefront-shaping devices is conventionally approached using real-frequency modeling. However, since these devices interact with light through radiative channels, they are by default non-Hermitian objects having complex eigenvalues (poles and zeros) that are marked by phase singularities in a complex frequency plane. Here, by using temporal coupled mode theory, we derive analytical expressions allowing to predict the location of these phase singularities in a complex plane and as a result, allowing to control the induced phase modulation of light. In particular, we show that spatial inversion symmetry breaking—implemented herein by controlling the coupling efficiency between input and output radiative channels of two-port components called metasurfaces—lifts the degeneracy of reflection zeros in forward and backward directions, and introduces a complex singularity with a positive imaginary part necessary for a full 2π-phase gradient. Our work establishes a general framework to predict and study the response of resonant systems in photonics and metaoptics.
Performative encounters with the TIE programme #nofilter: A study based on Finnish teenagers’ written thoughts
Authors: Dahl-Tallgren Nina
Published: July 2023

This study explores Finnish teenage students’ performative encounters with a performance, a theatre in education (TIE) programme called #nofilter, concerning young people and social media. The structure of the study regarding the TIE programme is based on educational design research with iterative cycles of inquiry. Thinking with theory is used as a methodology based on Barad’s agential realism guided by the analytical question: what diffractive learning events were co-created in the TIE programme #nofilter in the intra-action with the students? The agency produced can theoretically be understood as performative learning based on the materiality of the performance, including affective and performative encounters of the students’ intra-action with the theme of the TIE programme concerning social media on the internet with an entanglement of matter and meaning. The students recognized that they need to be aware of how to handle affects and situations that could appear in the intra-actions with social media to produce knowledge and perspective in their learning events.

This is an alarming signal and need to be researched further. There were significant variances among the respondents based on the gender, age, education, income, employment, occupation and country of origin. But the variances differed from country to another.
TAFSIRAN HOMOSEKSUAL DI ANTARA PENGKAJI BIBLE DENGAN TEKS KISAH SODOM: SATU ANALISIS PERBANDINGAN
Authors: Md Yasim Mohd Azwan , Muhammad Azizan bin Sabjan
Published: July 2023

The story of Sodom is an event of torment due to homosexual behavior. However, the text of the story of Sodom was reinterpreted by Bible scholars as appropriate. Accordingly, this study brings together the issues in the Story of Sodom. These issues are raised by Bible scholars in the fight for the fate of homosexuals. Based on the literature review, it was found that Bible scholars did not condemn homosexuality for the following reasons: the authenticity of the same-sex text in the story of Sodom is disputed; the purpose of the inhabitants of Sodom conducting a survey; causes of same-sex attempts; Lot's stance on same-sex union; the cause of the destruction of the people of Sodom; the purpose of the inhabitants of Sodom was to seduce Lot's guests; and the appropriateness of the story of Sodom as a lesson. Accordingly, in order to obtain accurate evidence, content analysis was conducted by comparing the Bible scholars' interpretation with the text of the story of Sodom in the Bible. Successful analysis proves that the prohibition of same-sex union described in the story of Sodom is clear. It can be used as a strong argument to forbid Christians who practice homosexuality.
 
Kisah Sodom merupakan satu kejadian azab akibat kelakuan homosekual. Namun, teks kisah Sodom ditafsir semula oleh pengkaji Bible mengikut kesesuaian semasa. Sehubungan itu, kajian ini menghimpunkan isu-isu di dalam Kisah Sodom. Isu-isu ini dibangkitkan oleh pengkaji Bible dalam memperjuangkan nasib homoseksual. Berdasarkan kepada kajian kepustakaan, didapati bahawa pengkaji Bible tidak mengutuk homoseksual di atas sebab: kesahihan teks seks sesama jantina di dalam kisah Sodom dipertikaikan; tujuan penduduk Sodom melakukan tinjauan; punca kepada cubaan seks sesama jantina; pendirian Lot terhadap seks sesama jantina; punca kemusnahan penduduk Sodom; tujuan penduduk Sodom ingin meliwat tetamu Lot; dan kesesuaian kisah Sodom sebagai pelajaran. Sehubungan itu, bagi mendapat bukti yang tepat, analisis kandungan telah dijalankan dengan membandingkan di antara tafsiran pengkaji Bible dengan teks kisah Sodom di dalam Bible. Analisis berjaya membuktikan bahawa larangan seks sesama jantina yang dijelaskan di dalam kisah Sodom adalah jelas. Ia mampu dijadikan hujah yang kuat untuk melarang penganut Kristian yang mengamalkan homoseksual.

La resurrección: una reflexión desde el arte, el pensamiento, la ciencia y la ley
Authors: Garcés Garcés Hugo Alexander
Published: July 2023

El mundo jurídico y el mundo real consideran relevantes algunos hechos, calificándolos como categorías jurídicas, la muerte es una de ellas. En ambos mundos, el hecho de la muerte se asume desde diferentes enfoques, siempre como fin de la vida y el inicio de algo más. En este ensayo mediante una revisión periódica se aborda el hecho de la muerte como categoría finita, analizando un caso hipotético de resurrección. Se describen muerte y resurrección desde distintas perspectivas, con el apoyo de ejemplos sobre la forma como han sido abordadas por la mitología, el cine, la ciencia y la literatura. Finalmente, se plantean algunas reflexiones frente a los efectos jurídicos que la resurrección pudiese generar, considerando en todo caso, la variable tiempo, es decir, si el periodo de muerte llegase a ser prolongado.
The Professionalization of Hackers: A Content Analysis of 30 Years of Hacker Communication
Authors:   Independant Researcher, Ulrich Frank , Müller Sune ,   Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Flowers Stephen ,   Kent Business School, University of Kent
Published: July 2023

Underground hacking has evolved from its early countercultural roots to become a complex and varied phenomenon. By combining a historical review of the literature with a content analysis of 30 years of underground hacker communication, we show that hacking has evolved in three waves to embrace learning and creativity, intrusion and crime, as well as politics and cyberwarfare. We uncover a paradoxical relationship between hackers and society at large where underground hacking is considered a digital crime while at the same time inspiring and driving corporate innovation, cybersecurity, and even cyberwarfare. The outcome of our research provides a nuanced picture of the hacker underground by highlighting differences between competing discursive themes across time. Moreover, by translating these themes into a set of six contrasting personas of IS professionals, we discuss how knowledge, technologies, and creative practices of underground hackers are being professionalized. We use this discussion to provide implications and a research agenda for IS studies in cybersecurity, innovation, and cyberwarfare.
Constitutional Value as a Fundamental Category of Russian Constitutional Law: Concept and Essence
Authors: Muzhichenko Alexandra V.
Published: July 2023

Within the framework of this article, the positions of various scientists on the concept and essence of constitutional values within the framework of Russian constitutional law are analyzed. The main approaches to understanding the essence of constitutional values are highlighted. The purpose of the study is the formation of the authors definition of the concept of constitutional values, the main task is to determine the sources of consolidation of constitutional values in the Russian state. It is concluded that it is necessary to adopt the position of those authors who propose to understand constitutional values as fundamental principles (attitudes) necessary for the normal development of both an individual and the whole society and the state. Based on the analysis, it is also concluded that it is necessary to recognize the source of constitutional values exclusively the provisions of the current Constitution, acts of constitutional interpretation are assigned only the role of interpretation of constitutional values and disclosure of their content and essence. From a critical point of view, the approach of the legislator to grant the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation the right of legislative initiative is evaluated. It is stated that it is impossible to develop a single and universal definition of constitutional values, which, however, should not be considered as an obstacle to scientific research in the field under consideration. Based on the analysis carried out, constitutional values are proposed to be understood as a set of basic and fundamental principles (attitudes) proclaimed by the Constitution, binding on all subjects of public relations, emerging in the process of functioning of society and the state, aimed at ensuring the favorable development of both an individual in the state and society and the whole state, organically combining both private and public interests.
El debido proceso administrativo y su vulneración en la solicitud de refugio dentro del estado de excepción
Authors: Vidotte-Blanco-Tarrega María-Cristina , Albornoz-Ortiz Margarita-Alejandra , Carvajal-Vallejo Luis-Carlos
Published: July 2023

The refuge arises as a protection measure of an international nature, for all those people who had to migrate due to the disastrous events of the Second World War. This figure was ratified by several signatory countries of the United Nations Charter, generating responsibilities in its application. However, with the passing of time, the realities and needs of migrants seeking refuge were changing, much more so at the Latin American level, that is how Colombia became the signatory State of the Cartagena Convention, a norm that adapted the concept of refuge to the realities of the American continent. Although the refuge was consolidated in the Colombian legal system prior to the constitutional change of 1991, the idea of p rotection of migrants goes hand in hand with the concepts of the new Latin American constitutionalism, ensuring that the pre-constitutional norm does not conflict with the new primary norm and the development of the new constitutional rights. These regulatory changes presented at the Latin American level, have allowed prioritizing certain types of rights, among these those of a higher order, and all those that can be classified in this position (constitutionality block), within which due process can be highlighted, guarantee that seeks within the judicial or administrative action of the State, the sufficient elements for a real materialization of access to said services. One of the points of discussion presented arises when the State, as guarantor of these individual rights, can be affected by external or internal, social, political, economic or ecological factors, for which, from the constitutional norm, it is allowed that the same enter a state of exception, where several of these rights can be limited within a temporary period, in order to return to fully guarantee them. The second point to be discussed arises when the rule that allows the application for refugee status proposes extendable terms without limitations, being a clear violation of the principle of speed and the reasonableness of terms, as part of certain main elements of the administrative due process.
Exercises for Hamstring Tightness

Published: July 2023

Hamstring tightness is a feeling that is often felt by futsal players, which can interfere with performance during playing. Previous studies suggest that stretching can solve it. However, feeling hamstring tightness is associated with weakness, so strengthening exercises are required to treat it. Strengthening exercises consist of concentric and eccentric exercises, which differ in the direction of muscle contraction. This study aimed to observe the effect of concentric, eccentric, and stretching exercises on muscle length, endurance, and power following hamstring tightness. 49 futsal players who experienced hamstring tightness participated in this study. Participants were divided into three groups consisting of Nordic Hamstring Exercise (NHE), Leg Curl Exercise (LCE), and control group (CTRL) - which only did stretching exercises. The exercises were carried out for 6 weeks, three times per week. The sit and reach test, Passive Knee extension test, Single leg bridge test, and Leg dynamometer tests were used to determine the changes in hamstring muscle before and after the exercises. One-way ANOVA was performed to compare changes between groups. All participants were found to be in the good category (28.78±5.53 cm) in sit and reach test and had low performance (39.13±16.77) in the leg dynamometer test before the intervention series. However, sit and reach test was shown not to be significantly different between groups (p>0.05) as well as ROM. Single-leg bridging test and leg dynamometer significantly differed between groups (p<0.05).This study suggests that feeling tight in the hamstring muscle is not correlated with muscle length. Concentric exercise increased strength more than eccentric and stretching. While concentric exercise increased the endurance of the hamstring muscle.

Is the Duration Of Riding Vespas Related To The Risk Of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
Authors: Putri Utami Kurnia , Rahmatullah Arif , Rahmanto Safun
Published: July 2023

Vespa is a popular scooter vehicle in Indonesia. The Vespa rider tends to use their wrist in flexion and extension positions while driving, especially when pulling vespa gas, controlling the brakes, and changing the gears. This repetitive movement could affect the suppression of the median nerve and cause the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. The observational, analytic descriptive design was used to see the relationship between the duration of a Vespa ride and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome in Vespa riders. 50 respondents were chosen using purposive sampling with inclusion and exclusion criteria in the Vespa Motorbike community of Malang City. A Carpal Tunnel Syndrome questionnaire was used to assess the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome. The Spearman Test was used to examine the relationship between both variables. All statistical analyses were performed using SPSS. The normality test showed the failure of the number of rearing data (p<0,05). The Spearman test revealed that both groups had a significant relationship (p=0,002). We concluded that there is a relationship between the duration of riding and the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome in Vespa riders.

Published: July 2023

The number of people who have diabetes has been increasing rapidly. Diabetes is a chronic illness that requires continuous intervention to prevent long-term complications and lower the financial burden of treatments. In the elderly, diabetes is linked to higher mortality, reduced functionality, and increased risk of hospitalization. Educational tools that cater to the elderly need to be used to improve the quality and outcomes of patient education among those with diabetes. This paper discussed strategies for improvement using the Life Diabetes Conversation Map in diabetes self-management education among the elderly with diabetes. We conducted a non-systematic search to find evidence from online databases using the keywords: diabetes conversation map, diabetes education, and elderly. Then, we discussed and conducted an integrative review of the Life Diabetes Conversation Map based on how it works, and the benefits and the feasibility or challenges for the Indonesian community. Our findings suggested that the Diabetes Conversation Map was an innovative patient educational tool that used interactive group participation to empower people with diabetes to become actively involved in managing the disease. The maps are a series of pictorial guides through which people engage in discussion and share their beliefs and their experiences of living with diabetes which has many benefits. Challenges for the Indonesian community included needing further innovation for proper language and cultural adjustment and integration into the Public Health Centers’ activities as a primary health care service. Along with these activities, elders could join cooking activities or regular aerobic exercise.

Flatfoot is a condition in which part or all of the soles of the feet do not form an arch (longitudinal arch) as normal so that the soles of the feet appear flat and touch the ground. This condition makes the function of the soles of the feet as shock absorbers and as a support for body weight during activities, cannot work properly. This greatly affects the development of body components, including flexibility and balance. Flexibility and balance are needed when a person is active, especially at the age of 2-6 years which is a golden age in determining future growth and development. Pathology in the form of weak extrinsic muscles of the foot which makes the midtarsal joint unstable so that the foot looks pronated, besides that there is tension in the ligaments in the foot.

Nurses' Perceptions About Family Presence During Resuscitation: A Literature Review
Authors: Dwi Pratiwi Indah , Herlianita Risa , Wahyuningsih Indri
Published: July 2023

In hospitals, family members of patients who need resuscitation attempts are usually taken outside of the resuscitation room. They are informed about the patient’s situation regularly by a team member. Nurses’ self-confidence is regarded as one of the most influential factors in accepting and implementing family presence during resuscitation. We wanted to see the perception and self-confidence of nurses about family presence during resuscitation (FPDR). Our research follows the guidelines of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA). We searched for articles in international databases such as PubMed and ProQuest from January 2020 to November 2020. Of the 219 articles discovered, seven articles were reviewed. Data extraction and analysis results found two themes: risk and benefits of family presence during resuscitation and promoting self-confidence.

Arm's Length Principle Analysis on Tax Avoidance through Transfer Pricing Post- Pandemic (Covid-19): A Proposed Study
Authors: . Natalina , . Apollo
Published: July 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced society to adapt to technological advancement and decision-making behavior in corporate management. In response, companies implemented transfer pricing strategy to ease the tax burden in order to optimize expenditure efficiency and maximize profitability. Besides its commonality among multinational companies, researchers observed that transfer pricing had been utilized significantly between related domestic companies, which may bring potential loss of state tax revenue. On the other hand, in principle, transfer pricing is legal and tax-wise permitable as long as it applies the arm’s length principle. This research was conducted in the form of case study with the objective to analyze the application of arm’s length principle on tax avoidance activity through transfer pricing between domestic companies by exploring its theoretical model. The analysis comprises five methods, namely the price comparison method between independent parties, the resale price method, the cost-plus method, the profit-sharing method, and the transactional net profit method. The evaluation of a company’s arm’s length principle can be utilized as a basis for recommendation, both for related companies to optimize tax planning and for policymakers to mitigate the risk of losing state revenue. This study is imperative in understanding post-Covid-19 impact on corporations as a mean of adaptation and going concern– specifically on how transfer pricing among specially-related domestic companies have become a cost-cutting effort. This study is expected to bring guidance for the following researches and contribution for government in overcoming the potential rise of domestic transfer pricing postpandemic.

A Framework for Investigating Low Attention Processing of Advertising
Authors: Santoso Irene , Rekarti Endi
Published: July 2023

In the cluttered digital landscape, it has been widely accepted that advertising typically receives low attention from consumers. This condition becomes a problem when many marketers switch to digital media, which is accelerated by the pandemic period in various countries. Restrictions on physical activity make digital marketing activities the primary alternative for marketers and consumers. The study of how advertising can get adequate attention, so that it can contribute to marketing is very necessary in both theory development and practical needs. Yet, advertising effectiveness at low attention has been the subject of limited research. As low-attention processing involves a set of mental processes, some being at subconscious level, the difficulty concerns the methodology for investigating those processes and measuring the effects that occur. This paper proposes a novel framework for investigating low attention to advertising, incorporating the four levels of competition for attention, and a naturalistic approach to research. We provide preliminary evid

The world has suffered from COVID-19 since 2020. The high rate of death happens everywhere. In addition, nearly all sectors of life have been destroyed, which leads to chaotic situations. Suddenly people have to be able to survive in many ways. Not only must they get through death, but mentally as well. It is the moment when people express how they feel in literary works to balance their emotions with their mental states. This paper aims to describe the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on particular social groups through reading literary works, and how these literary works can positively change people who survived when the pandemic occurred. Qualitative research is the method used in this paper. On employing Habitus theory from Pierre Bordieu on selected fields, media, and practices, we found that some people tend to read literature more during pandemics. They choose the pandemic topic, neither the classic nor the newest literature readings. Having read specific readings, they find salvation and form a sense of hope in dealing with the outbreak. This paper results that through rigorous literature reading, habitus is formed to ensure sustainability post-pandemic (COVID-19).
