Morphological and Rotation Structures of Circumgalactic Mg ii Gas in the EAGLE Simulation and the Dependence on Galaxy Properties
Authors: Ho Stephanie H. , Martin Crystal L. , Schaye Joop
Published: November 2020

Low-ionization-state Mg ii gas has been extensively studied in quasar sightline observations to understand the cool, ∼104 K gas in the circumgalactic medium. Motivated by recent observations showing that the Mg ii gas around low-redshift galaxies has significant angular momentum, we use the high-resolution EAGLE cosmological simulation to analyze the morphological and rotation structures of the z ≈ 0.3 circumgalactic Mg ii gas and examine how they change with the host galaxy properties. Around star-forming galaxies, we find that the Mg ii gas has an axisymmetric instead of a spherical distribution, and the axis of symmetry aligns with that of the Mg ii gas rotation. A similar rotating structure is less commonly found in the small sample of simulated quiescent galaxies. We also examine how often Mg ii gas around galaxies selected using a line-of-sight velocity cut includes gas physically outside of the virial radius (r
vir). For example, we show that at an impact parameter of 100 pkpc, a ±500 km s−1 velocity cut around galaxies with stellar masses of 109–109.5
M
⊙ (1010–1010.5
M
⊙) selects Mg ii gas beyond the virial radius 80% (6%) of the time. Because observers typically select Mg ii gas around target galaxies using such a velocity cut, we discuss how this issue affects the study of circumgalactic Mg ii gas properties, including the detection of corotation. While the corotating Mg ii gas generally extends beyond 0.5r
vir, the Mg ii gas outside of the virial radius contaminates the corotation signal and makes observers less likely to conclude that gas at large impact parameters (e.g., ≳0.25r
vir) is corotating.

Published: November 2020

We analyze the three-dimensional shapes and kinematics of the young star cluster population forming in a high-resolution griffin project simulation of a metal-poor dwarf galaxy starburst. The star clusters, which follow a power-law mass distribution, form from the cold phase interstellar medium with an initial mass function sampled with individual stars down to four solar masses at sub-parsec spatial resolution. Massive stars and their important feedback mechanisms are modeled in detail. The simulated clusters follow a surprisingly tight relation between the specific angular momentum and mass with indications of two sub-populations. Massive clusters (M
cl ≳ 3 × 104
M
⊙) have the highest specific angular momenta at low ellipticities (ϵ ∼ 0.2) and show alignment between their shapes and rotation. Lower mass clusters have lower specific angular momenta with larger scatter, show a broader range of elongations, and are typically misaligned indicating that they are not shaped by rotation. The most massive clusters (M ≳ 105
M
⊙) accrete gas and protoclusters from a ≲100 pc scale local galactic environment on a t ≲ 10 Myr timescale, inheriting the ambient angular momentum properties. Their two-dimensional kinematic maps show ordered rotation at formation, up to v ∼ 8.5 km s−1, consistent with observed young massive clusters and old globular clusters, which they might evolve into. The massive clusters have angular momentum parameters λ
R ≲ 0.5 and show Gauss–Hermite coefficients h
3 that are anti-correlated with the velocity, indicating asymmetric line-of-sight velocity distributions as a signature of a dissipative formation process.

Published: November 2020

A photometric redshift sample of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) obtained from the DECam Legacy Survey (DECaLS) is analyzed to probe cosmic distances by exploiting the wedge approach of the two-point correlation function. Although the cosmological information is highly contaminated by the uncertainties existing in the photometric redshifts from the galaxy map, an angular diameter distance can be probed at the perpendicular configuration in which the measured correlation function is minimally contaminated. An ensemble of wedged correlation functions selected up to a given threshold based on having the least contamination was studied in previous work (Sridhar & Song 2019) using simulations, and the extracted cosmological information was unbiased within this threshold. We apply the same methodology for analyzing the LRG sample from DECaLS, which will provide the optical imaging for targeting two-thirds of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument footprint and measure the angular diameter distances at z = 0.69 and z = 0.87 to be

and

with a fractional error of 4.77% and 6.09%, respectively. We obtain a value of H
0 = 66.58 ± 5.31 km s−1 Mpc−1, which supports the H
0 measured by all other baryon acoustic oscillation results and is consistent with the ΛCDM model.
Tidal Disruptions of Main-sequence Stars. V. The Varieties of Disruptions
Authors: Krolik Julian , Piran Tsvi , Ryu Taeho
Published: November 2020

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are generally imagined as the complete disruption of a star when it passes close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH). Relativistic apsidal precession is thought to quickly “circularize” the bound debris, forming a compact accretion disk, which then emits a flare of standardized light curve and spectrum. We show here that this picture holds in only a minority of cases. TDEs are more diverse and can be grouped into several categories distinguished by stellar pericenter distance r

p
; we estimate the relative frequency of these categories. Rapid circularization is rare both because it requires

(

) and because most events with

lead to direct capture. For larger pericenter distances,

(for M
BH = 106
M
⊙), main-sequence stars with M
* ≲ 3 are completely disrupted, but the bound debris orbits are highly eccentric and possess semimajor axes ∼100× the scale of the expected compact disk. Partial disruptions with fractional mass loss ≳10% occur with a rate similar to that of total disruptions; for fractional mass loss ≳50%, the rate is ≈1/3 as large. Partial disruptions—which must precede total disruptions when the stars’ angular momenta evolve in the “empty loss-cone” regime—change the orbital energy by factors ≳O(1). Partial disruption remnants are in general far from thermal equilibrium. Depending on its orbital energy and conditions within the stellar cluster surrounding the SMBH, a remnant may return after ∼O(100)–O(1000) yr and be fully disrupted, or it may rejoin the stellar cluster.

Planck Galactic Cold Clumps (PGCCs) are considered to be the ideal targets to probe the early phases of star formation. We have conducted a survey of 72 young dense cores inside PGCCs in the Orion complex with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) at 1.3 mm (band 6) using three different configurations (resolutions ∼0.″35, 1.″0, and 7.″0) to statistically investigate their evolutionary stages and substructures. We have obtained images of the 1.3 mm continuum and molecular line emission (12CO, and SiO) at an angular resolution of ∼0.″35 (∼140 au) with the combined arrays. We find 70 substructures within 48 detected dense cores with median dust mass ∼0.093 M
⊙ and deconvolved size ∼0.″27. Dense substructures are clearly detected within the central 1000 au of four candidate prestellar cores. The sizes and masses of the substructures in continuum emission are found to be significantly reduced with protostellar evolution from Class 0 to Class I. We also study the evolutionary change in the outflow characteristics through the course of protostellar mass accretion. A total of 37 sources exhibit CO outflows, and 20 (>50%) show high-velocity jets in SiO. The CO velocity extents (ΔVs) span from 4 to 110 km s−1 with outflow cavity opening angle width at 400 au ranging from [Θobs]400 ∼ 0.″6–3.″9, which corresponds to 33.°4–125.°7. For the majority of the outflow sources, the ΔVs show a positive correlation with [Θobs]400, suggesting that as protostars undergo gravitational collapse, the cavity opening of a protostellar outflow widens and the protostars possibly generate more energetic outflows.
FPFS Shear Estimator: Systematic Tests on the Hyper Suprime-Cam Survey First-year Data

Published: November 2020

We apply the Fourier Power Function Shapelets (FPFS) shear estimator to the first-year data of the Hyper Suprime-Cam survey to construct a shape catalog. The FPFS shear estimator has been demonstrated to have a multiplicative bias less than 1% in the absence of blending, regardless of complexities of galaxy shapes, smears of point spread functions (PSFs), and contamination from noise. The blending bias is calibrated with realistic image simulations, which include the impact of neighboring objects, using the COSMOS Hubble Space Telescope images. Here we carefully test the influence of PSF model residual on the FPFS shear estimation and the uncertainties in the shear calibration. Internal null tests are conducted to characterize potential systematics in the FPFS shape catalog, and the results are compared with those measured using a catalog where the shapes were estimated using the re-Gaussianization algorithms. Furthermore, we compare various weak-lensing measurements between the FPFS shape catalog and the re-Gaussianization shape catalog and conclude that the weak-lensing measurements between these two shape catalogs are consistent with each other within the statistical uncertainty.
The Splashback Radius of Halos from Particle Dynamics. III. Halo Catalogs, Merger Trees, and Host–Subhalo Relations
Authors: Diemer Benedikt
Published: November 2020

Virtually any investigation involving dark matter halos relies on a definition of their radius, of their mass, and of whether they are a subhalo. The halo boundary is most commonly defined to include a spherical overdensity contrast (such as

,

, and

), but different thresholds lead to significant differences in radius and mass. The splashback radius has recently been suggested as a more physically motivated (and generally larger) halo boundary, adding to the range of definitions. It is often difficult to assess the impact of a particular choice because most halo catalogs contain only one or a few definitions and generally only one set of host–subhalo relations. To alleviate this issue, we present halo catalogs and merger trees for 14 N-body simulations of ΛCDM and self-similar universes. Based on Rockstar catalogs, we compute additional halo properties using the Sparta code and recombine them with the original catalogs. The new catalogs contain numerous variants of spherical overdensity and splashback radii and masses and, most critically, host–subhalo relations for each definition. We also present a new merger tree format where the data are stored as a compressed, two-dimensional matrix. We perform basic tests of the relation between different definitions and present an updated model for the splashback–spherical overdensity connection. The Sparta code, as well as our catalogs and merger trees, are publicly available.

Authors: Kozhoyarova Aruuke , Sargsyan Aelita , Goncharova Olga , Kadyrov Abdullaat
Published: November 2020

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is a global public health problem. The incidence of TB is especially high among TB key populations, such as the homeless, people who use drugs, prisoners, and migrants. The study aimed to assess the associations between affiliation to TB key populations and treatment outcome.

Methodology: This retrospective cross-sectional study used data extracted from the National TB Registry of Kyrgyzstan for the region of Chuy (including the city of Bishkek) for 2015–2017. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. Logistic regression was used to assess the associations.

Results: The study included 1,526 patients among whom more than half (52.5%) fell into the youngest group (18-35 years old). Migrants were the most highly represented group comprising 67.8% of all TB key populations. Men (63.0%) and patients with pulmonary TB (83.0%) prevailed in the cohort. The proportions of patients who had completed the treatment were high among all the key populations. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between affiliation to a certain TB key population and the TB treatment outcome. Patients who belonged to more than one TB key population were found to have the highest risk of unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes, both in the region of Chuy (OR = 9.9, 95% CI 2.0–48.1, p = 0.04) and the city of Bishkek (OR = 24.9, 95% CI 7.2–86.4, p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The homeless, people who use drugs, ex-prisoners, and TB patients who belonged to more than one TB key population were found to have higher risks of unsuccessful TB treatment outcome in comparison to migrants.

Olhares sobre crianças e infâncias na Arqueologia: uma breve aproximação
Authors: Fraga da Silva Adriana
Published: November 2020

Este artigo aponta as tendências das abordagens através das quais infâncias e crianças são delineadas na Arqueologia, pautando-se principalmente no caso brasileiro. Sabe-se que infâncias, crianças e culturas infantis, desde a História, a Pedagogia, a Sociologia e a Antropologia, por exemplo, encontram um espaço de investigação consolidado. Todavia, na Arqueologia brasileira identifica-se que infâncias e crianças compõem temas tangenciais que, impulsionados pela presença de elementos materiais específicos, identificam ou pré-definem uma presença infantil. Há também as abordagens que debatem infâncias e crianças como categorias sociais culturalmente postas e, portanto, historicamente definidas. Tais trabalhos tem proporcionado à Arqueologia importantes reflexões teóricas, bem como o exercício de construções metodológicas para a abordagem destas categorias sociais.
Objetos em trânsito - Amélia Cavalcanti e o colecionismo do século XIX
Authors: Santos Rita de Cassia Melo
Published: November 2020

A coleção Marquesa de Cavalcanti, mantida no Museu Volkenkunde, em Leiden, na Holanda, é um dos registros mais antigos da existência de objetos brasileiros neste museu. Faz parte de uma coleção mais ampla criada para a Exposição Antropológica Brasileira, realizada em 1882, e para a Exposição Universal de Paris, realizada em 1889. O foco principal deste artigo são os itinerários dessa coleção, desde suas primeiras exposições no Brasil e em Paris até a coleção Volkenkunde em Leiden. Apesar do desafio colocado pela ausência de documentação para entender a “vida social” dos objetos, acreditamos que a investigação dos itinerários das coleções e a análise das diferentes relações sociais inscritas nos objetos possam fornecer uma chave para a compreensão da história da etnografia e da arqueologia. Este artigo analisa como as coleções conectaram regiões coloniais a áreas metropolitanas na segunda metade do século XIX, no caso particular do Brasil, Paris e Holanda. Discute ainda o papel da mulher na produção de coleções arqueológicas e etnográficas e, consequentemente, o seu lugar na produção de conhecimento antropológico e arqueológico.

Early Detection of Cancer Using Smartphones
Authors: A. Kodieswari
Published: November 2020

Cancer disease is the second largest disease in the world with high death mortality. Cancer is an abnormal growth of a normal cell. There are more than 100 types of cancer like blood cancer, brain cancer, small intestine cancer, lung cancer, liver cancer, etc. The type of cancer can be classified by the type of cell which is initially affected. When cancer grows it does not show any symptom. The symptom will appear when the cancer cell grows in mass and the symptom of cancer depends on the type of cancer. The cause of cancers is environmental pollutants, food habits, inherited genetics, tobacco, stress, etc., but in practice, it is not possible to prove the cause of cancer since various cancers do not have specific fingerprints. After the heart attack, cancer is a second killer disease in India. The death mortality is high in cancer because in most of the cases it is identified at the final stage which causes more death. According to ICMR, among 1.27 billion Indian populations, the incidence of cancer is 70-90 per 100,000 populations and 70% of cancer is identified in the last stage accounting for high morality. There are many types of treatment to treat cancer and they are surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, stem cell transplant, etc. All cancer treatments will have side effects and the treatments will help only if the cancer cells are identified at the early stage. So time factor is important in diagnosing of cancer cells; hence, early detection of cancer will reduce the mortality rate. This chapter proposed the early detection of cancer cells using image processing techniques by the structure of circulating tumor cell. Early detection of cancer cells is very difficult because the concentration of cancer cells are extremely small and about one million malignant cell is encountered per billion of healthy cells. The circulating tumor cells, CTC, are shed into the bloodstream as a tumor grows, and it is believed these cells initiate the spread of cancer. CTC are rare, existing as only a few per one billion blood cells, and a highly efficient technology like chip-based biosensor platforms is required to capture the CTC, which in turn helps to detect cancer cell at an early stage before spreading. In proposed method, the circulating tumor cell has used a marker to detect cancer at early stage.

Published: November 2020

The use of mobile solutions for clinical decision support is still a rather nascent area within digital health. Shedding light on this important application of mobile technology, this chapter presents the initial findings of a scoping review. The review's primary objective is to identify the state of the art of mobile solution based clinical decision support systems and the persisting critical issues. The authors contribute by classifying identified critical issues into two matrices. Firstly, the issues are classified according to a matrix the authors developed, to be indicative of the stage (or timing) at which the issues occur along the timeline of mobile solution development. This classification includes the three classes: issues persisting at the (1) stage of developing mobile solutions, (2) stage of evaluating developed solutions, and (3) stage of adoption of developed solutions. Secondly, the authors present a classification of the same issues according to a standard socio-technical matrix containing the three classes: (1) technological, (2) process, and (3) people issues.

Authors: Kettunen Eeva , Makkonen Markus , Kari Tuomas , Critchley Will
Published: November 2020

Life-long physical activity patterns are established during teenage years, so promoting physical activity is important. Sport and wellness technology has potential for promoting physical activity. Yet, research concerning its use among teenage populations is sparse. This intervention study investigated whether using a sport and wellness technology application could affect teenagers' physical activity intention, its antecedents, and the effects of these antecedents on intention. The study uses the theory of planned behavior (TPB) combined with self-efficacy as a theoretical model. The results showed no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control group in terms of the means and variances of the four constructs (attitude, subjective norm, self-efficacy, and intention) in the theoretical model. However, there was a statistically significant difference in the effect of self-efficacy on intention in the intervention group. Using sport and wellness technology in physical activity interventions among teenagers has potential and further research is warranted.
Protein Energy Malnutrition in Children
Authors: Onaleye Foluke
Published: November 2020

The current management to prevent Protein Energy Malnutrition (PEM) is examined and the use of technological tools such as Electronic Health Records (EHR) systems and mobile solutions are employed to prevent the development of PEM and its complications. Implementation of technological solutions in healthcare is a critical factor in achieving better health outcomes as documented in some parts of the world. Sub-Saharan Africa is behind on the adoption of electronic health records and other health information technology solutions due to several challenges such as lack of funding and infrastructure required to implement its use. Recent studies show that Sub-Saharan Africa is slowly gravitating towards adoption of health information technology particularly EHR systems and mobile solutions because of the need to find solutions to its healthcare crisis. Development of a PEM prevention system using these tools to enhance the current management will improve patient health outcomes and decrease the mortality rate of PEM.

Africa leads the world in the number of women starting businesses, according to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Many experts, including the World Economic Forum and the World Bank, believe that the 21st century is Africa's century and that its economic future depends on the success of its female entrepreneurs. Technology entrepreneurship in Africa seems to be on the rise. In 2017, the annual Global Start-Up Ecosystem Report (GSER) ranked the Lagos start-up ecosystem as the most valuable in Africa. In May 2019, the same report by start-up Genome, which researches start-up ecosystems across the world and claims to have data on over one million companies across 150 cities, named Lagos one of 12 “challenger” start-up ecosystems. With the increasing focus on technology and female entrepreneurship in Nigeria, this chapter seeks to chronicle the birth and growth trajectory of two platform companies in Nigeria led by two female African entrepreneurs: Abimbola Adebakin, CEO of Advantage Health Africa, and Glory Enyinnaya, Lead Consultant of Kleos Africa.

Organizing Learning Processes of Co-Production
Authors: Borup Jensen Julie , Thomassen Anja Overgaard
Published: November 2020

This chapter addresses questions about possible theoretical and philosophical perspectives implied in the processual approach to co-production presented in this book. The chapter presents experiential learning perspectives on this matter, and also introduces action research as one research area that seems relevant for co-production as a processual phenomenon. This learning and action-based theoretical perspective is, however, not only an abstraction; it is also very closely related to practice in that its core interest is processes in relations between human beings. The chapter concludes with a brief presentation of reflection as an inseparable part of co-creation processes and points to theoretical and philosophical implications of this.
Creating Opportunity Spaces for Co-Production

Published: November 2020

This chapter builds a conceptual model for how inter-organizational relationships can be built to enable the creation of learning across administrative and organizational boundaries. The conceptual model is discussed in relation to the body of knowledge concerning co-production and the new roles required of organizational members and frontline staff when services cut across these boundaries. The argument is that it is becoming increasingly important for professional co-producers and their organizations to identify, analyze, and improve the opportunity space for co-production when this opportunity space unfolds beyond one organization.
Re-Shaping Physical and Digital Consumer and Participative Co-Production Processes
Authors: Kjellström Sofia
Published: November 2020

Social distancing has been a key strategy in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The practice of social distancing has reshaped co-production processes, which have typically been built on close interactions between people, often in physical encounters. In this chapter, an action research design is applied, describing four everyday examples from Sweden of how individuals and organizations handled the changes, and applying a theory of four interaction zones. The aim is to explore how the practice of social distancing has implications for consumer and participative co-production processes. The physical space in co-production is negotiated and alterations are made: cancellations, decreased interactions, increased physical distance, outdoor activities, and moving interaction online. The cases illustrate that human space is also negotiated in online interactions. Online co-production initiatives need to address the challenges of attendance, digital literacy, meeting designs, and sharing power in meetings. The future requires a broader mix of co-production activities.

Next, she became more strategic, examining student thinking and actions throughout a daily workshop lesson and developing and applying a resource guide for mobile applications specifically geared for each lesson segment of class: opening, work period, and closing. No longer focused on application fit or application first, the author shares the transformative power of deliberately planning for the use of technology: a practice that has improved her clarity and amplified student learning.
Reimagining Mobile Phones
Authors: Morall Monica B.
Published: November 2020

As the number of students with access to cell phones increases, so do opportunities to bridge the technology divide that may exist among them. With the shift towards virtual learning gaining momentum, now is the time for teachers to increase their digital footprints in the classroom, and utilizing available mobile devices is one way to increase digital access for all. Coinciding with the ease of access to mobile technology is the growing research that supports the adoption of multiliteracies to foster readers and writers who can participate in and impact the world around them with nontraditional forms of communication. Digital multimodal compositions (DMCs) are digital texts created through the use of various modes, including written text, audio, visual, and other interactive media. DMCs are an effective way to incorporate both mobile technology and multiple literacies into both face-to-face and virtual curricula.
Decriminalizing Cell Phones
Authors: Rhoades Glenn Henry
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss cell phones in the classroom before and after the pandemic. The author discusses the problematic history of cell phones in the classroom, and how teachers have struggled and fought against them, many times outright banning cell phones. Instead of this approach, the case is made for the need for students to learn how to use them, and why they are so useful in the classroom for both formative assessment and feedback. Next, this chapter discusses how the author leveraged cell phones during the period of crisis instruction at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. The author was able to launch and successfully complete a unit that combined social justice themes, graphic novels, and podcasting – all of which utilizing cell phones. Finally, specific tools, resources, and strategies are shared and discussed that were used during this time, with recommendations for the future of education no matter how it may look.

Online Personal Narratives
Authors: Iyanga-Mambo Ester
Published: November 2020

The aim of this chapter is to explore personal narratives and conversational stories of self-declared victims of abuse in the comments section of a knowledge-sharing platform, such as YouTube. The aim is to analyze the resemblance between the interaction and exchange of narratives in comments sections, on the one hand, and narrative group psychotherapy and self-help support groups, on the other. While previous research on storytelling mostly addresses professionally guided or produced narratives, this approach extends the production of these narratives to online communicative contexts. Firstly, the chapter looks at the theoretical tenets of storytelling. Secondly, a sociolinguistic, narratology-oriented approach is used to exemplify this practice. This part of the chapter discusses how the interaction among commentators and the exchange of personal narratives meet the core principles of self-help support groups and group psychotherapy.
Linguistic Elements as Tools for the Analysis of Media Narratives
Authors: Horbacauskiene Jolita
Published: November 2020

A close linguistic analysis of media discourse might provoke and provide useful information regarding the power of media itself and the way people construct meanings. The present study seeks to explore how social problems are reflected in media texts. The representation of social problems—crime, poverty, migrant crisis, as well as minority groups—contains linguistic elements which are aimed at constructing certain images of these issues. Figurative linguistic elements are used to enhance the reliability of the story, to appeal to the readers' emotions, and to manage the story and the sequence of the events which are being represented. A proper use of language in the representations social problems could be considered as an effective tool to keep readers interested in the story and transform it into one that is engaging and reliable at the same time.
Pitch This
Authors: Vasconcelos Sandra Vieira , Balula Ana
Published: November 2020

The following chapter describes the design and implementation of a teaching and learning strategy that aimed to explore the affordances of storytelling when it comes to the management of students' personal branding skills. Designed to help students craft their online professional persona and produce video-based pitches, this strategy was developed taking into account the concepts of personal branding and digital storytelling, as well as a preliminary questionnaire focusing on participants' perceptions. Having been implemented within English for Specific Purposes classes, this strategy was successful in promoting students' engagement and making them aware of the importance of having a strong personal brand, something that can be enhanced through contemporary storytelling methods.
Gif as a Narrative Tool
Authors: Gonçalves Wayner Tristão
Published: November 2020

This chapter centres around a new type of creative and artistic expression, namely the gif. Positioned somewhere between an image and a video, the gif provides an interesting sense of narrative, since it presents itself on a never-ending loop. Although this type of moving image is currently associated with contemporary social media and the internet, its roots go back to the beginning of cinematic history, when the first recorded moving images were displayed repeatedly in from of the viewer. As such, starting from these cinematic roots, the present chapter will deal with the intricacies of the gif's narrative pattern and the status of art on the internet, before delving into the analysis of a series of gifs which were part of an art exhibition.
“Nothing Spreads Like Fear”
Authors: Mihăeş Lorena Clara , Dimitriu Anda
Published: November 2020

The present chapter looks at the way fear is depicted in Soderbergh's 2011 thriller Contagion and how the onlooker is dragged along into feeling the fear. Without using a studio to shoot the scenes, without insisting much on characters, employing hyperlink narrative (scenes change quickly, playing with geographical distant places and interweaving storylines between multiple characters) and using few words, the movie's main character is not the invisible virus but the fear it spreads into the characters, growing and turning into mass hysteria. The aim of this chapter is to analyse how narrative immersion works in Contagion through visual, auditory, and emotional elements, which are used by the director as vehicles for instilling fear in the audience.
The Story of the Unborn
Authors: Boboc Marta Teodora
Published: November 2020

This chapter focuses on a relatively new kind of narrative, concerning storytelling from inside the womb as it offers an inner perspective on both outside social matters and on the first stage of life as well. The author of the given chapter aims to explore the specific features of such a narrative, by comparing the novels of three writers, Pascal Bruckner, Chinghiz Aitmatov, and Ian McEwan, that belong to three different cultural spaces, French, Kyrgyz, and English. The basic elements of a story (plot, setting, characters, point of view, theme, symbolism, conflict, and resolution) are taken into account and their contrastive analysis is meant to reveal some key concepts that define an innovative way to approach literature.
Transmedia Storytelling Edutainment and the New Testament Lesson
Authors: Kalogeras Stavroula
Published: November 2020

Storytelling is the most ancient form of teaching that can enhance the learning experience, and transmedia is a technique where elements of a story get dispersed across multiple media with each story creating a cohesive entertainment experience. The storytelling framework is a viable solution to engage a universal audience, and the socio-cultural theory of learning presented underpins how cultural beliefs and attitudes impact instruction and learning. The study explores how the pre-historic practice of transmedia storytelling can be used and practiced by educators. Narratives transverse across media and can be traced back to the presentation of Biblical stories. The Bible story has been told across many different forms of media, from print to icons to stained glass windows. Jesus, the master teacher, used storytelling methods of instruction to convey his message to his learners across different platforms. The chapter explores the parallels between Biblical transmedia and contemporary transmedia and considers transmedia edutainment as a pedagogical practice in higher education.

This chapter explores discrimination, gender equality, and safety risks in journalism.
Sexism and Gender Discrimination in Pakistan's Mainstream News Media
Authors: Hafeez Erum , Zahid Luavut
Published: November 2020

This research aims to examine how sexism and gender discrimination impacts women journalists in Pakistan. The International Federation of Journalists (2018-19) ranks Pakistan as the fourth most dangerous country for journalists. The Coalition for Women in Journalism declares Pakistan as the sixth-worst for female journalists (2019). In 2018, the Global Gender Gap Report highlighted Pakistan as second from bottom, ranking it 148 out of 149 countries. Given these numbers, the country is an ominous space for women in news media. This study collects the data from women journalists working in the three largest cities of Pakistan, that is, Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad. The aim is to investigate the issues faced by female journalists due to discrimination at the workplace including glass ceiling, pay gap, and lack of female leadership. Following the mixed-method approach, around 102 women journalists were surveyed, and 10 were interviewed. Findings indicate the rampant existence of sexism in Pakistani media and its detrimental effects on the growth of a gender-balanced news media industry.
