EXPLORING HOW U.S. K-12 EDUCATION ADDRESSES PRIVACY LITERACY
Authors: Kumar Priya , Hyde Lily
Published: March 2024

As children grow up immersed in digital environments, scholars and policymakers emphasize the importance of helping children learn how to navigate privacy online. Prior work has found that educators recognize this need for privacy lessons but do not always feel equipped to teach them. Indeed, the term “privacy” has many meanings and the concept of privacy does not easily fit in a specific subject, intersecting with social studies, computer science, media literacy, digital literacy, and digital citizenship. Scholars have begun developing frameworks for privacy education, but such efforts will have a higher chance of success if they can be integrated into existing educational standards. Thus, in this study we are analyzing U.S. K-12 educational standards to understand whether and how they address privacy literacy. Our initial analysis has found that 44 of the 50 U.S. states have implemented educational standards related to privacy, largely as part of library, computer science, or social studies. The main privacy-related topics in state standards include being careful about posting information online and managing passwords. These preliminary findings suggest that while privacy is part of many state education standards, there are opportunities to help educators bring a more nuanced approach to privacy into their classrooms.
ASSESSING THE IMPACT OF GLOBAL ATTENTION ON SUBREDDIT COMMUNITY PRACTICES: THE CASE OF /R/HONGKONG
Authors: Kuznetsov Dmitry , Ismangil Milan
Published: March 2024

What happens to internet communities after a global media event puts them in the public spotlight? Does the flood of new members change a given community's practices, structures, and discussions? Do things go back to normal? These questions lie at the heart of our research project, which examines how a local subcommunity on the popular website Reddit changed as its matter of focus became a global discussion subject.

Specifically, this study analyses changing posting practices on /r/hongkong, a local subreddit whose popularity skyrocketed in 2019, with the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement garnering worldwide media coverage. Now, with global attention shifting away from the protests and the 2020 Hong Kong National Security law, the subreddit no longer exhibits the same level of activity. But what can be learnt beyond simply looking at the numbers? Can a qualitative change be observed on /r/hongkong?

In this extended abstract, we examine the existing research on subreddits as a community, consider the potential significance of media events and subsequent influxes of new users for community practice, outline our methodological approach, and highlight some preliminary findings.
IDENTIFYING WITH PRIVACY: REFERENCES TO PRIVACY IN DEVELOPERS’ GITHUB PROFILES
Authors: Levi-Eshkol Keren , Ribak Rivka
Published: March 2024

The proposed presentation explores the ways in which developers use the notion of privacy in their GitHub biographies. Initially a code-sharing platform, GitHub has become in recent years a major recruitment site. In that environment, a valuable potential worker is one who knows how to extract and make the most of users’ personal information. At the same time, in an open source platform, “privacy” maintains its romantic allure as a worthwhile endeavor. How do developers manage this tension? And what may its negotiation imply for the production of privacy? Analyzing the 2025 GitHub bios in which developers use the word “privacy,” we explore two articulations of privacy in developers’ self-presentation: privacy as a profession, and privacy as a passion.
WOMEN REVOLUTIONISING MONEY?: INVESTIGATING MEANING-MAKING AND GENDER MESSAGING IN FEMALE-TO-FEMALE FINFLUENCING ON INSTAGRAM
Authors: Li Yuening , Garwood-Cross Lisa , Kerr Aphra
Published: March 2024

Women were excluded from financial independence historically, causing a significant gender gap in financial literacy. Financial decision-making was based on households where women were deprived of contribution, as they were not allowed to act as the main account holder and were seen as dependents in the formal financial system. However, informal communities were formed, sharing intimate knowledge in alternative ways of personal finance. In the online Web 2.0 environments, social media platforms, namely Instagram, could serve as new forms of learning environments for financial literacy through informal peer-to-peer learning and therefore become a virtual extension of existing 'saving communities' in real life. The paper highlights the existence of a small but thriving personal finance community on Instagram and provides evidence of the volume of content related to personal finance, debt, and saving money on the platform.

The emergence of female financial influencers created a sense of virtual togetherness where women felt safe to seek peer support and share personal stories. This paper proposes four-phase research using netnographic immersion journals (Kozinets, 2022), an online survey, and semi-structured interviews and will present the early findings from data collection beginning in March 2023. It proposes a networked perspective addressing technical, social, and cultural components (Selbst et al., 2019) in relation to the formation, expansion, and evolution of female financial influencing on Instagram. This study responds to the wider conference themes of revolutions by examining social barriers to seeking financial support at the intersection of feminist studies, the digital divide, and financial literacy.
COMMEMORATING AS CRITICIZING: HOW LI WENLIANG’S WEIBO HOMEPAGE BECOMES A PLACE FOR QUESTIONING CHINA’S COVID-19 POLICIES AND A “WAILING WALL”
Authors: Lin Bibo
Published: March 2024

Li Wenliang, an eye doctor at Wuhan Central hospital and one of the first to raise alarm about the outbreak of COVID-19, was summoned by the local police and forced to sign a statement reprimanding his message as a groundless rumor as well as a disturbance to the public order in late December 2019. Two months later, Li died after contracting COVID-19 at his workplace, aged 33 years. This caused shock and outrage across China and Li’s Weibo (China’s equivalent of Twitter) homepage soon became an online “wailing wall,” where people mourned, condoled, and commemorated the whistleblower and complained, questioned, and protested the overstrict government policies relevant to COVID-19 pandemic. This study shows that Weibo offers a place for users to see the mundane life of Li Wenliang, express grief and frustration, and interact with each other to remember Li, whereas another super-powerful Chinese social media, WeChat, allows users to synthesize information about Li, provide analysis and criticism, and circulate the memory of Li through their social networks. Together, these two platforms helped stabilize Chinese internet users’ memory of Li as a whistleblower, a civilian hero, a martyr, and a supporter of free speech and diverse voices, distinguished from the official version. This study contributes to recent scholarly interest in understanding how the technological affordances of social media shape memory work. It also shows that even in a politically constrictive environment, such as China’s media ecology, the space for questioning and protesting still exists, though more nuanced and precarious.
BEHOLD THE METAVERSE: FACEBOOK’S META REVOLUTION AND THE CIRCULATION OF ELITE DISCOURSE
Authors: Lucia Brent , Vetter Matthew , Adubofour Isaac
Published: March 2024

Despite pushback from regulatory and non-governmental entities, Meta’s control over the public narrative remains consistent. Using a method of corpus analysis, this paper investigated the company’s sociotechnical imaginary as it circulates in media artifacts (n=428) responding to Zuckerberg’s 2021 Metaverse announcement. Analysis of how these artifacts respond to issues related to identity, privacy, security, and connectivity revealed that the majority amplify Meta’s corporate messaging, empowering its elite discourse and solidifying its social power. While certain artifacts attempt to confront the prevailing narrative related to privacy, such discourse is often ineffectively rooted in cyber-libertarian ideology. In order to more effectively challenge Meta’s social power, future critical discourse should be 1) more holistically deployed and 2) cognizant of the logics of surveillance capitalism and user exploitation. Ultimately, this paper considers the rhetorical strategies and functions deployed in the circulation of elite discourse, while also acknowledging the dynamism of sociotechnical imaginaries.
‘NOT LIKE OTHER SOCIAL NETWORKS’? BEREAL AND THE REMEDIATION OF LIVENESS IN THE PLATFORM ENVIRONMENT
Authors: Lupinacci Ludmila
Published: March 2024

‘Social media’ represent a dynamic technological environment, in which emerging platforms make use of comparisons to existing apps to construct their own reputation. This is the case of BeReal – a platform that allows users to share pictures once a day, and only when triggered by a notification. In this paper, I combine digital technography and the platform walkthrough method to examine how BeReal deploys antagonistic discourse towards dominant media to promise a more authentic experience. In so doing, I frame the platform as evoking, appropriating, and remediating (Bolter and Grusin 2000) notions of mediated liveness – not only when it comes to a promised ‘real-time’ connection but also referring to particular ways of ‘being there’, sharing experiences, and having ‘real’ experiences through technological mediation. This discussion matters because it demonstrates how claims of immediacy and of a direct access to ‘reality’ are manifested and negotiated in contemporary sociotechnical practices. In this context, BeReal’s version for “platformized authenticity” – the co-option of ‘the authentic’ to advance platforms’ growth and commercial goals – is a process marked by a recursive, cyclical negotiation between technical mediation and claims of liveness.
THE ALGORITHMIC MODERATION OF SEXUAL EXPRESSION: PORNHUB, PAYMENT PROCESSORS AND CSAM
Authors: MacDonald Maggie
Published: March 2024

Pornography platforms are increasingly required by payment processor business partners to mitigate harm in their content management systems through algorithmic moderation. Demands that adult merchants incorporate these tools are not proportional to instances of harmful content, but a response to the widespread conflation of pornography with harm and risk online. This paper explores co-governance by payment processors calling for algorithmic tools through the case of Pornhub, asking: what standards are required by financial firms, how are these enforced on platforms, and what effects does this arrangement have on porn content?

I open with key context regarding the deplatforming of sex, antiporn campaigning and constructions of harm through 'reputational risk’. Following this, I detail financial firms infrastructural influence in platform co-governance. Next, a close reading of adult merchant terms identifies specific clauses calling for algorithmic moderation. Concluding this issue mapping, I provide a taxonomy of moderation tools in place on Pornhub.

I close with an issue discussion to consider AI's positioning as a regulatory solution, CSAM data ethics, moderator labour, and the many technical problems obscured by promises of safety through automated content management systems. The resulting review of algorithmic measures enforced by financial firms offers a detailed case of the opaque governance conditions imperilling sexual expression across porn platforms.
"I WORKED SO HARD, AND I STILL DIDN'T SUCCEED”: CODING BOOTCAMP EXPERIENCES OF PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Authors: Miltner Kate , Kadar-Satat Gitit , Ashton Emily
Published: March 2024

Coding bootcamps are intensive training programs that aim to turn adults with no computer programming experience into professional software developers in as little as 12 to 16 weeks. In both the US and the UK, coding bootcamps are positioned as an alternative pathway into the tech “pipeline” for groups who are traditionally excluded from computing careers (Schnell, 2019; UK Digital Strategy, 2022). Framed as a form of “coding equity”, bootcamps are said to provide “transformative access” for participants and have even been characterized as a form of social justice activism (Rea, 2022). However, our ongoing comparative study about coding bootcamps in the US and UK indicates that the benefits of attending a coding bootcamp accrue disproportionately across different groups. Drawing upon ethnographic, interview, and survey data, this work-in-progress paper focuses on the bootcamp experiences of people with disabilities, who were more likely to experience unfair bias and/or exclusion and are less likely to have experienced employment-related benefits than people without disabilities. This paper discusses some of the contributing factors to these outcomes and explores the impact that these experiences have on bootcamp students with disabilities. In doing so, it casts some doubt on the “transformative” possibilities of bootcamps for marginalized groups. Although some bootcamps declare their “support” for “people with disabilities and neurodiversities” (Northcoders, n.d.), our study indicates that even if and when this support exists, it falls short of what people with disabilities need to thrive in a bootcamp setting.
WITH OR WITHOUT THE CROWD? THE INFLUENCE OF CODER CHARACTERISTICS ON CODING DECISIONS COMPARING CROWDWORKERS AND TRADITIONAL CODERS.
Authors: Niemann-Lenz Julia , Dittrich Anja , Scheper Jule
Published: March 2024

Standardized manual content analysis is an important methodology to capture the messages in journalistic and social media. Specifically, for supervised machine learning aproaches, human-generated training data is needed. The process of coding as well as the selection of suitable coders is crucial for obtaining good data quality. However, little research has been done on how the coding process should be designed and how personal characteristics of the coders might influence data quality. This blind spot becomes even more crucial because coding is nowadays increasingly performed with the help of crowdworkers. When working with such anonymous coders, the process of coding can then be less controlled by the researchers, which can lead to loss of quality.

In our comparative mixed-methods study we compare data from a content analysis on the topic of legalizing abortion (n = 300 tweets). We conducted this in two ways: Firstly, with a team of four student coders who also received training and secondly with 150 crowdworkers. All coders had to complete a short survey on their socio-demographics and personality traits.

The results show that both validity and reliability are higher for the student coders, especially for tricky coding tasks. Further, multivariate (logistic) regression analysis reveals that personal characteristics such as formal education and emotional sensitivity also have an impact on coding quality. Hence, with a reflective selection of coders as well as a thoughtful design of the coding process and the codebook, the quality of data collection can be increased—even when relying on crowdworkers.
DARK DESIGN PATTERNS AND GAMIFICATION AS THE HEART OF DATING APPLICATIONS’ BUSINESS MODELS
Authors: Pettersen Lene , Karlsen Faltin
Published: March 2024

Dating applications represent a paradox: on the one hand, they provide a monetized platform for people to form relationships, yet on the other hand, the more people who find partners, the less revenue goes to the company. With this paradox as a backdrop, this extended abstract examines the business model of dating applications by address the following research question: What characterizes the business models of dating applications? To provide a nuanced picture of this, we conducted a 2022-study combining data about dating apps and app users: (A) 22 in-depth interviews with current and previous users (aged 24–49 years) of Norwegian dating applications users; (B) a systematic analysis of 30 serious dating apps in Google Play and Apple’s App Store; and (C) a diary study of four of the 30 dating applications. The findings reveals that dating apps follows a business model that creates revenue through a mix of an in-app purchase-model and subscription fees. The apps typically market themselves as free, yet they use several dark design and gamification features to create and spark emotional curiosity and engagement that in turn brings in revenue to dating app companies. Several of the users stated that they have experienced the apps as manipulative, emotionally exhausting and that they created the same kind of “addiction” or “cravings” they experienced in social media. Clearly, design is not only power, design gives the dating app companies power where designing for emotional engagement is a key value-creating element in their business models.
WHO WATCHES THE BIRDWATCHERS? CREATING A ROGUE ARCHIVE OF TWITTER’S ONGOING COLLAPSE
Authors: Pettis Ben Tadayoshi
Published: March 2024

Community Notes (formerly named “Birdwatch”) is Twitter’s crowdsourced fact-checking program to combat mis- and dis-information. By signing up to be a Birdwatch contributor, a user can add contextual notes and commentary to other tweets as well as rate the contributions of others. User submissions to the Community Notes program also serve as metacommentary on the platform more generally. Beyond their fact-checking role, Birdwatch notes also illuminate how some users perceived Elon Musk’s recent purchase of the platform and how the subsequent changes aligned with their own understandings of what the platform ought to be.

This paper describes Birdwatch Archive, a project to archive Twitter’s Community Notes program by parsing the data that Twitter publicly releases from the Birdwatch program and displaying it in a searchable and organized fashion that is accessible and useful to researchers. Using the anonymous user identification strings from each TSV file, the website enables researchers to assess how frequently users contribute to the Community Notes program by grouping notes and ratings they have provided.

Even as Twitter continues to devolve and collapse, we can try to learn from how users described and understood the platform. When studying major platforms, we cannot rely solely upon the data made accessible by the platform itself. Instead, we must look for opportunities to create “rogue archives” of online settings, which includes turning sources that are not as frequently viewed by most users.
EXPLORING AUTHENTICITY ON THE SOCIAL MEDIA APP BEREAL
Authors: Reddy Ananya , Kumar Priya
Published: March 2024

BeReal, the latest social media app to gain popularity, explicitly frames itself as a more “authentic” alternative to dominant platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Users can post only once per day, in a random two-minute window controlled by the app. Posts consist of an image that combines photos from a smartphone’s front- and back-facing cameras. While these individual features aren’t novel, the app packages them as an overt response to current cultural frustration with fake-ness. How persuasive is this marketing tactic, especially among a generation that has grown up with social media? To explore this question, we are interviewing young adult BeReal users about how they use the app and to what extent they experience BeReal as a space for authenticity. Our ongoing analysis suggests that while participants find BeReal to offer forms of real-time and spontaneous authenticity, on a deeper level, they question whether social platforms can ever act as vessels for authenticity. These initial findings indicate that young adults may recognize social media claims to authenticity as the marketing tactics they often are.
THEORIZING AND ANALYZING THE CONTINGENT CASINO
Authors: Ross Alexander M
Published: March 2024

Gambling games are composed of risk and contingency - the gambler stakes their bet on the spin or a reel or a roulette wheel completely dependent on forces outside of their control, uncertain of the outcome. This potent combination is not only being used to fuel the nearly $500 billion USD global gambling industry, but also to organise the current app economy. Digital platforms, their complementors, and their users are brought together by risk and contingency into a dynamic political economy, with the platform accruing the most advantage (Poell et al., 2021). Unpacking these unequal and sometimes precarious relations requires studying a “representative commodity” (Kline et al., 2003). Social casino apps, a niche, but still significant digital game commodity, embody how risk and contingency manifests in the app economy (Nieborg & Poell, 2018; Zittrain, 2008). In particular, when other industries interface with digital platforms, they become subject to their institutional imperatives (Gorwa, 2019). Social casino apps are representative of how platforms have been able to influence and shape even niche genres of digital leisure, but also the constraints and resistance to these techniques. In this paper, as a political economist of communication, I conduct a structural and critical analysis of the social casino industry, using institutional analysis as my methodology.
EVOLVING SPATIALITIES OF DIGITAL LIFE: TROUBLING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE SMART CITY/HOME DIVIDES
Authors: Sweeney Miriam E , Lynch Casey
Published: March 2024

Blunt and Sheringham (2019) call for home-city geographies but do not consider the role of digital technologies in mediating these relations (Koch and Miles, 2021). Digital geographers have largely examined manifestations of the digital city (smart city, platform urbanism, etc.) and the digital home separately. This paper explores the question of the smart home/city by reading it through a series of established analytical frames for reflecting on the relationship between domestic and urban space, namely: governance, domestication, thresholds, and dwelling. The first two call attention to the movement of certain activities, relations, or processes across traditionally understood boundaries between domestic and urban spaces. The third lens, thresholds, considers the ways boundaries between domestic and urban space are not simply transgressed but are actively re-negotiated through the new digital mediations. The fourth lens, dwelling, moves beyond a focus on such boundaries or divisions to instead highlight the ambiguity and indeterminacy of everyday life. Each lens opens a distinct set of questions about the evolving spatialities of digital life and the ways they are enacted, negotiated, and potentially contested.
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH APPS AND EMPOWERMENT – A CONTRADICTION?
Authors: Tylstedt Beatrice , Sadowski Helga , Eklund Lina , Normark Maria
Published: March 2024

FemTech apps have billions of users globally. Yet, despite their popularity, we know little about these apps, often developed outside controlled and regulated healthcare. While these apps have been criticised for lacking privacy and for enforcing normative ideals on women, they are often marketed in terms of female empowerment. In this presentation, we present our analysis of the empowering potential of menstruation and pregnancy apps. We ask: How do these apps represent reproductive health? What kinds of empowering qualities are present in them? Are there any aspects of the technology that (inadvertently) counteract the empowering purpose? We investigate this through a comparative design investigation using what we call critical app-walkthrough methodology together with researcher use-diaries. We show in our analysis that there are three critical ways in which these apps represent reproductive health events to users through design. We analyze; 1) interface metaphors used to represent temporality, 2) datafication of reproductive health through input and output for intimate data tracking and 3) finally the ways predictions convey certainty over uncertainty and the implications of this. From our results, we present four design sensitivities meant to inspire designers to design for other types of period tracking experiences that might better empower bleeders; support lived temporalities, embrace uncertainty, empower the self, and design less.
THE IMPERIAL HAIKU COMMISSION APPROVES THIS MESSAGE’: AN EXAMINATION OF AUTOMATED PLAY AND CULTURE AS (RE)DESIGNED BY BOTS.
Authors: Whelan-Shamy Daniel , Carlon Dominique
Published: March 2024

This paper examines a community called Subreddit Simulator on the social media platform Reddit. It is a digital space where human and social bot co-exist on an ontologically equal footing to co-create culture, community and a sense of 'play'. We recognize this community as a pioneer community against a larger backdrop of deep mediatization. With the recent attention given to bots such as Chat GPT it is imperative that we do not overlook communities in which progressive and revolutionary practice has been happening for years. This extended abstract proposes an ethnographic approach to viewing the Subreddit Simulator community while the longer form work will bring the ethnographic results to bear to discuss philosophically the opportunities and implications of reimagining networked spaces in a less human-centric manor.
REVEALING COORDINATED IMAGE-SHARING IN SOCIAL MEDIA: A CASE STUDY OF PRO-RUSSIAN INFLUENCE CAMPAIGNS
Authors: Zhu Guangnan , Graham Timothy , Whelan-Shamy Daniel , Fleet Robert
Published: March 2024

Coordinated online disinformation campaigns are by nature difficult to detect. In response, communication scholars have developed a range of methods and analytical frameworks to discover and analyse disinformation campaigns. The use of social network analysis (SNA) to find and map coordinated behavioural patterns has become increasingly popular and demonstrated effective results. However, these methods are designed for text and behavioural but miss an important aspect of disinformation campaigns: coordinated image-sharing. This paper examine this gap by analysing a large-scale dataset of tweets using advanced SNA to map coordinated retweeting behaviour and coordinated image-sharing. We show that coordinated image-sharing is both more widespread and different in structure to other forms of coordination. This is important because it highlights a major gap in research, where computational methods are not suited to detecting and analysing the scale and scope of visual disinformation on platforms like Twitter. To address this, we suggest new methods to complement existing approaches, using machine learning to detect image similarity. The paper concludes with a reflection of limitations and suggestions for the next steps.
DATA REFUSAL FROM BELOW: A FRAMEWORK FOR UNDERSTANDING, EVALUATING, AND ENVISIONING REFUSAL STRATEGIES
Authors: Zong Jonathan , Matias J. Nathan
Published: March 2024

Amidst calls for public accountability over large data-driven systems, feminist and indigenous scholars have developed refusal as a practice that challenges the authority of data collectors. However, because data affects so many aspects of daily life, it can be hard to see seemingly different refusal strategies as part of the same repertoire. Furthermore, conversations about refusal often happen from the standpoint of designers and policymakers rather than the people and communities most affected by data collection. In this paper, we introduce a framework for data refusal from below—writing from the standpoint of people who refuse, rather than the institutions that seek their compliance. We characterize refusal strategies across four constituent facets common to all refusal, whatever tactics are used: autonomy, or how refusal accounts for individual and collective interests; time, or whether refusal reacts to past harm or proactively prevents future harm; power, or the extent to which refusal makes change possible; and cost, or whether or not refusal can reduce or redistribute penalties experienced by refusers. We illustrate each facet by drawing on cases of people and collectives that have refused data systems. Together, the four facets of our framework are designed to help scholars and activists describe, evaluate, and imagine new forms of refusal.
WEB HISTORIES IN THE MAKING: WEB ARCHIVES & THE LOGICS OF PRACTICE
Authors: Paßmann Johannes , Gerzen Lisa , Schories Martina , Ogden Jessica , Maemura Emily , MacKinnon Katherine
Published: March 2024

Historically-situated accounts of the Web have a long history within the field of internet studies. Drawing on diverse methodologies and forms of data, web histories of platforms, cultures and communities of practice have illuminated the rich, but often transient and shifting nature of life online. Many web histories rely upon researchers capturing, collecting, and generating their own data through time, though some have also engaged with web archives as a means for studying the past online. However, web archive data have never fulfilled the requirements of positivist ideals such as ‘representativeness’ or objectivity, and the methodological consequences of this observation currently do not go far enough.

This panel aims to shift and reframe current discussions of the ‘promise’ of web archives for web historiography, towards identifying what underlying logics or ideals drive and motivate various actors engaged in this work. We argue that not only do the logics underpinning the practices of collecting and archiving the Web deserve further attention, but also the practices of internet researchers who aim to use these materials for studying the Web. Each paper contribution in this panel builds on web archive criticism by situating archived web material as fundamentally tied to the logics of practice. These underpinnings affect not only the formation of web archives, but also the methodological approaches researchers take. We therefore suggest new ways for conceptualising the ‘doing’ of web histories, tying them to an assemblage of people, practice and data that shape how we can come to understand the Web.
DISPATCHES FROM THE EARLY INTERNET: HISTORIES, IMAGINARIES, AND ARCHAEOLOGIES
Authors: Rudenshiold Alexander , Dame-Griff Avery , MacLean Liam , MacKinnon Katie
Published: March 2024

This panel charts disparate histories of early internet formations: building from and contributing to the growing body of work which operates across technical interfaces, infrastructures, and cultures of use to paint a more complete picture of how internet and computing cultures, as we now know them, came to be. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, these accounts work against hegemonic, top-down, “revolutionary” narratives of historical internet cultural and infrastructural development. Rather than revolutionary, this collection of papers views the development of new media as a sort of continual updating of technological norms through existing neoliberal logics. In case studies ranging from transgender identity to furry infrastructure, from German leftism to Canadian youth culture – this research offers new interventions, drawing from across geographies and temporalities and further problematizing the popular framing of any singular “internet.”
A Comparative Study on Drying of Ber
Authors: Priyanka Das  , Archana Singha Dutta
Published: March 2024

Ber (Zizyphus jujuba) is one of the popular seasonal, but highly perishable fruit of India. Plantations of indigenous fruit are depleting gradually due to lack of processing facilities. Traditional processing of the fruit, although crude, is popular in India. Traditionally processed fruits do not have market value as not accepted by the consumers. Among the unit operations for processing of fruit, drying is the most important. At domestic level, sun drying is popular and convenient, but does not maintain quality of the finished product. For commercial products mechanical dryers, solar dryers, microwave dryers, etc are used. Application of a dryer for a particular produce depends on the physical and biological characteristics of the produce. A study on drying pattern and nutritional qualities of dried product (ber) showed that microwave technology combined with solar drying could be applied to dry it and retain its quality.

Leptospirosis is an uncommon infectious illness – a spirochetal zoonosis – caused by Leptospira species and the primary cause of human leptospirosis is exposure to the urine of infected rodents. Clinical manifestations of human leptospirosis are diverse, ranging from asymptomatic infection to severe life-threatening with multiorgan dysfunction. The severe condition is known as Weil's disease, which is characterized by feverish illness with jaundice, acute kidney damage, and bleeding. The aim of this case report was to present a Weil's disease which occurred simultaneously with a community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) resulting in serious complications. A 41-year-old man with Weil's disease, as well as CAP caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, and septic shock was presented. The patient was treated accordingly after establishing the diagnosis through history taking, physical examination, and laboratory tests. In this instance, the score for diagnosing leptospirosis based on Modified Faine's Criteria was calculated resulting possible diagnoses; and therefore, therapeutic management was initiated. Despite presenting with severe symptoms, the patient recovered completely after receiving antibiotics and supportive care. This study highlights that when a patient has Weil’s disease and a CAP infection, which could cause unfavorable consequence, a prompt diagnosis and proper treatment could result satisfied patient recovery.

RELIGIÃO, CONFLITO E RECONHECIMENTO: CENÁRIOS EUROPEUS
Authors: Teixeira Alfredo
Published: March 2024

Neste texto analisam-se alguns cenários europeus marcados por diferentes lógicas de conflito. Dá-se uma particular atenção a diferentes dinâmicas sociais, que visam garantir a visibilidade das identidades religiosas em contextos de crescente diferenciação religiosa. Nesta nova paisagem religiosa, o conflito é, frequentemente, uma via de reconhecimento. A visibilidade da diferença religiosa mobiliza, nas democracias liberais, estratégias de discriminação positiva. No entanto, pelo menos em parte, esses usos sociais do conflito dão conta de um movimento de mudança: na procura de reconhecimento, ganha protagonismo a afirmação da autonomia individual, em detrimento da reivindicação dos direitos das instituições religiosas.

O estágio não obrigatório representa atividade opcional aos estudantes de graduação, além disso, é uma atividade de acréscimo à carga horária regular e obrigatória dos cursos de graduação. Este estudo objetiva analisar as dificuldades, pontos negativos e positivos (contribuições) do estágio não obrigatório escolar na vida acadêmica dos estudantes de Licenciatura em Educação Física da UEFS. Trata-se de um estudo de campo e pesquisa documental, com caráter descritivo e abordagem qualitativa. Para a obtenção dos dados, foi aplicado um questionário para os estudantes entre o 4º e o 8º semestre que já realizaram ou estavam realizando estágio não obrigatório escolar. Vinte estudantes participaram da pesquisa, que teve como protocolo de análise de dados a análise de conteúdo. De acordo com os resultados encontrados, as questões financeiras e a permanência na universidade são os principais motivos para a busca do estágio não obrigatório. A carga horária, a ausência de supervisão/orientação, a conciliação dos horários da escola com a universidade e a desvalorização foram consideradas dificuldades e pontos negativos. Dentre as contribuições/pontos positivos, estão: a aquisição de experiência e conhecimento; a imersão e aproximação na/com a realidade escolar; a ajuda financeira na permanência na universidade. Portanto, esta modalidade de estágio assume uma posição importante na formação de professores, contribuindo de forma significativa na sua preparação e qualificação para o trabalho, e no desenvolvimento de competências, habilidades, conhecimentos e experiências necessárias à prática docente.

Published: March 2024

A realização de atividade remota na Educação Escolar, mediada pelas Tecnologias da Informação e Comunicação, nesse momento de pandemia causada pela Covid­19, despertam o interesse e a necessidade de discutirmos sobre movimentos ciberformativos como políticas públicas, que reverberem em práxis e desdobramentos pedagógico-científicos em sala de aula. Neste artigo, objetivamos refletir sobre a visão do professor da Educação Básica, da rede pública de ensino, em relação à utilização dessas tecnologias como artefatos mediadores da atividade pedagógica, tendo como cenário tanto o contexto anterior como durante a pandemia. Propõe-se como horizonte epistemológico a discussão sobre ciberformação docente, que supere o caráter técnico-instrumental desses meios tecnológicos. Metodologicamente, partimos de uma pesquisa qualitativa, de inspiração netnográfica, tendo como dispositivos para a construção de informações o questionário online, a partir do Google Forms, e a tertúlia digital, realizada pelo aplicativo de mensagem WhatsApp. Discutimos sobre a condição do professor para a realização dessas aulas online na rede pública, levando em consideração seu percurso formativo e a construção de atividades pedagógicas, a partir de perspectivas e de relações múltiplas entre docência e contexto social.
COVID-19 E VIDA IDOSA

O texto objetiva contribuir para a compreensão do por que da pandemia da SARS Cov 2 travar o mundo capitalista, com base em tríplice recorte: a) – delineamento da vulnerabilidade biológica da população mundial frente à pandemia, com ênfase  na condição idosa, na descrição de um conjunto de afecções não transmissíveis, de predominância global e na desnaturalização do óbito, por Covid-19, na velhice; b) - análise da hipótese de que tais enfermidades resultam de racionalidades econômicas e políticas de base medicamentosa e alimentar, que conformam um tipo de governo populacional global, uma biopolítica da “saúde”; c) -  descrição do campo medicinal  compartido em: “medicina da doença”, que atua com cerca de dois terços da população;  “medicina da saúde”, com ação sobre, aproximadamente, um terço da população. Ambas com condição legal constituem domínios econômicos financeiros da economia mundial, duas linhas da medicina oficial implicadas na saúde como negócio. O texto articula metodologia quantitativa e qualitativa e tem suporte nas formulações teóricas de Michel Foucault.
NOVAS E VELHAS CONFIGURAÇÕES RELIGIOSAS NO ISOLAMENTO SOCIAL
Authors: Pinheiro Danielle Ventura de Lima
Published: March 2024

No período de isolamento social vivenciado em 2020, percebemos as novas adaptações das religiões tradicionais, que precisaram obedecer às normas da Organização Mundial da Saúde, mantendo o distanciamento, bem como o fortalecimento das práticas holísticas presentes nas chamadas filosofias de vida. Essa situação nos remete às mudanças no campo religioso após a Segunda Guerra Mundial, pois se fazem presentes tanto perfis de cunho fundamentalista como também praticantes irregulares que deixam cada vez mais evidente a dificuldade de se responder à pergunta: Qual a sua religião? Para contribuir com essa abordagem, o diálogo com autores da fenomenologia da religião, da sociologia da religião e dos novos movimentos religiosos foram fundamentais. Concomitantemente, um olhar peculiar para as mais recentes configurações do campo religioso garantiu que se mantivesse o ineditismo e a atualidade dessa abordagem.
PESQUISA E PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO NO BRASIL ATUAL: REFLEXÕES ENTRE O MODELO QUADRIENAL E O MULTIDIMENSIONAL
Authors: Santos Júnior Aníbal de Freitas , Gabriel Neto José Antonio
Published: March 2024

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir, através de uma abordagem descritiva e exploratória, aliada à análise crítica e reflexiva, a estruturação e funcionamento do processo de avaliação dos Programas de Pós-graduação Stricto sensu (PPGSS), pela Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES), no Brasil. São apresentados aspectos históricos, com ênfase na estruturação, desenvolvimento e avaliação, gerenciados pela CAPES. Parâmetros de alinhamento aos padrões internacionais, com dimensões e indicadores centrados em modelos de outros países, estão norteando a avaliação dos PPGSS no país e, nesse contexto, o modelo multidimensional seria uma solução? Questões alinhadas ao papel e função das Universidades e as pós-graduações brasileiras, a ausência de tratamento igualitário de financiamento às pesquisas pelo Governo (nas suas diversas esferas) e pelas Instituições, bem como a valorização das diferenças regionais são discutidas. Tais questões são heterogêneas e de difícil resolução, entretanto, busca-se aqui, uma reflexão sobre a promoção de uma Pós-graduação Stricto sensu com qualidade e de maior acesso á população, com vistas à qualificação humana.
