Published: November 2023

This study employed a qualitative research methodology to examine the design features and program elements utilized in the videos of a popular educational YouTube channel called “Basfi ile Deneysel Bilim” (Experimental Science with Basfi). The primary objective was to identify these features and elements by analysing the top ten videos on the channel, based on view counts, likes, and comments. Data collection was conducted using a thematic analysis matrix as the instrument. During the initial phase of data analysis, a descriptive examination of the videos was performed in terms of Mayer’s principles of multimedia learning. Subsequently, content analysis was conducted to analyse the program elements present in the videos. The findings of this research revealed that the educational videos on the YouTube channel partially adhered to Mayer’s multimedia design principles and incorporated some program elements. Therefore, it is recommended that multimedia design principles and program elements be taken into account when creating educational content for YouTube. Additionally, it is suggested that elements tailored to the nature of the YouTube platform should be included. Finally, the study provides recommendations to content developers regarding factors to consider in video production. This research holds significance for individuals involved in producing educational content for YouTube, as well as researchers working in the domains of content production processes and content design.

Abstract. Extreme droughts are a major determinant of ecosystem disturbance that impacts plant communities and feeds back into climate change through changes in plant functioning. However, the complex relationships between aboveground and belowground plant hydraulic traits and their role in governing plant responses to drought are not fully understood. In this study, we use a model, the Functionally Assembled Terrestrial Ecosystem Simulator in a configuration that includes plant hydraulics (FATES-Hydro), to investigate ecosystem responses to the 2012–2015 California drought in comparison with observations at a site in the southern Sierra Nevada that experienced widespread tree mortality during this drought. We conduct a sensitivity analysis to explore how different plant water sourcing and hydraulic strategies lead to differential responses during normal and drought conditions. The analysis shows the following. Deep roots that sustain productivity through the dry season are needed for the model to capture observed seasonal cycles of evapotranspiration (ET) and gross primary productivity (GPP) in normal years, and deep-rooted strategies are nonetheless subject to large reductions in ET and GPP when the deep soil reservoir is depleted during extreme droughts, in agreement with observations. Risky stomatal strategies lead to greater productivity during normal years as compared to safer stomatal control, but they also lead to a high risk of xylem embolism during the 2012–2015 drought. For a given stand density, stomatal and xylem traits have a stronger impact on plant water status than on ecosystem-level fluxes. Our study highlights the significance of resolving plant water sourcing strategies to represent drought impacts on plants and consequent feedbacks in models.
Leaf carbon and nitrogen stoichiometric variation along environmental gradients
Authors: Xu Huiying , Wang Han , Prentice Iain Colin , Harrison Sandy P.
Published: November 2023

Abstract. Leaf stoichiometric traits are central to ecosystem function and biogeochemical cycling, yet no accepted theory predicts their variation along environmental gradients. Using data in the China Plant Trait Database version 2, we aimed to characterize variation in leaf carbon and nitrogen per unit mass (Cmass, Nmass) and their ratio and to test an eco-evolutionary optimality model for Nmass. Community-mean trait values were related to climate variables by multiple linear regression. Climatic optima and tolerances of major genera were estimated; Pagel's λ was used to quantify phylogenetic controls, and Bayesian phylogenetic linear mixed models to assess the contributions of climate, species identity, and phylogeny. Optimality-based predictions of community-mean Nmass were compared to observed values. All traits showed strong phylogenetic signals. Climate explained only 18 % of C:N ratio variation among species but 45 % among communities, highlighting the role of taxonomic replacement in mediating community-level responses. Geographic distributions of deciduous taxa were separated primarily by moisture and evergreens by temperature. Cmass increased with irradiance but decreased with moisture and temperature. Nmass declined with all three variables. C:N ratio variations were dominated by Nmass. The coefficients relating Nmass to the ratio of maximum carboxylation capacity at 25 ∘C (Vcmax25) and leaf mass per area (Ma) were influenced by leaf area index. The optimality model captured 68 % and 53 % of variation between communities for Vcmax25 and Ma, respectively, and 21 % for Nmass. We conclude that stoichiometric variations along climate gradients are achieved largely by environmental selection among species and clades with different intraspecific trait values. Variations in leaf C:N ratio are mainly determined by Nmass, and optimality-based modelling shows useful predictive ability for community-mean Nmass. These findings should help to improve the representation of C:N coupling in ecosystem models.
Mapping geodetically inferred Antarctic ice height changes into thickness variations: a sensitivity study

Published: November 2023

Abstract. Determining recent Antarctic ice volume changes from satellite altimeter measurements of ice height requires a correction for contemporaneous vertical crustal deformation. This correction must consider two main sources of crustal deformation: (1) ongoing glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), that is, the deformational, gravitational and rotational response to late Pleistocene and Holocene ice and ocean mass changes; and (2) modern ice mass flux. In this study, we seek to quantify the uncertainties associated with each of these corrections. Corrections of ice height changes for (1) have generally involved the adoption of global models of GIA defined by some preferred combination of ice history and mantle viscoelastic structure. We have computed the GIA correction generated from a coupled ice sheet – sea level model and a realistic earth model incorporating three-dimensional viscoelastic structure. Integrating the difference between this correction and those from recent GIA analyses widely adopted in the literature yields an uncertainty in total present-day ice volume change equivalent to approximately 10 % of Antarctic ice mass loss inferred for the previous decade. This reinforces earlier work indicating that ice histories characterized by relatively high excess ice volume at the Last Glacial Maximum may be introducing significant error in estimates of modern melt rates. Regarding correction (2), a spatially invariant scaling has commonly been used to convert GIA-corrected ice height changes obtained from satellite altimetry into ice volume estimates. We adopt modeling results based on a projection of Antarctic ice mass flux over the next 40 years to demonstrate a spatial variability in the scaling of up to 10 % across the ice sheet. Furthermore, using these calculations, we find an error in the projected net ice volume change of up to 4.5 mm GMSL equivalent forty years after present, with most of the difference arising in areas of West Antarctica above mantle zones of low viscosity.
cultura da performance nas plataformas algorítmicas
Authors: Lemes de Castro Julio Cesar
Published: November 2023

Este artigo de articulação teórica, apoiado em pesquisa bibliográfica, traça um paralelo entre a governança algorítmica e a cultura da performance que caracteriza a subjetividade neoliberal. Ele propõe-se a mostrar que, em virtude de sua tecnologia, de seu modelo de negócios e de sua inserção no contexto social de nossa época, as plataformas controladas por grandes corporações, como o Facebook, constituem ambientes midiáticos privilegiados de manifestação dessa cultura. Ademais, as modalidades de indução de comportamento no interior das plataformas, articuladas àquelas atuantes na sociedade em geral, imprimem a tal cultura um cunho impositivo, ainda que os usuários das plataformas preservem uma relativa autonomia. São apontados oito diferentes imperativos de performance: conectividade, visibilidade, agência, plasticidade, rendimento, gozo, mensurabilidade e normatividade. Todos eles combinam-se e sobrepõem-se de vários modos, posto que não são entendidos como fenômenos discretos, e sim como facetas de um único fenômeno.
Pesquisas internacionais sobre fake news e competência em informação no campo da biblioteconomia e ciência da informação
Authors: Silva Marcia Regina , Almeida Marco Antônio de
Published: November 2023

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a literatura do campo da Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação no que se refere as competências em informação no contexto das fakes news. Trata-se de um trabalho de cunho reflexivo e exploratório que busca contribuir com as discussões postas no cenário internacional sobre a urgência da participação dos bibliotecários no combate efetivo das fakes news por meio da competência em informação. A Base de Dados LISA (Library Information Science Abstract) da Plafatorma Proquest foi utilizada como fonte de informação. O corpus de análise constitui-se de 34 artigos que foram categorizados por temáticas. Embora os resultados denotem uma série de discussões que permeiam os estudos, destacam-se duas formas pelas quais é possível o engajamento dos bibliotecários no combate às fakes news: 1) propondo ações e/ou programas que busquem o desenvolvimento de competências em informação dos estudantes e demais cidadãos e; 2) desenvolvendo ações e/ou programas de mediação que permitam diminuir o déficit dos usuários em relação aos processos de busca e avaliação de fontes de informação. Entretanto, deve-se reconhecer as limitações contextuais e conjunturais que se interpõem a essa tarefa, e que envolvem desde o contexto das políticas educacionais, variáveis de região para região, até aspectos que incluem a arquitetura de informação que foi sendo forjadas pelas redes sociais em seu desenvolvimento e que se mostrou favorável à difusão das fake news.
Reflexões a respeito do financiamento das iniciativas de acesso aberto
Authors: Castilhos Carla , Ferreira Fernando , Silva Fabiano , Pavão Caterina
Published: November 2023

A diminuição de recursos financeiros disponíveis para pesquisa e o encerramento de periódicos de acesso aberto no Brasil em decorrência da crise política e econômica levam a questionar: se o acesso é livre aos leitores e não há cobrança de assinaturas, como financiar os periódicos acadêmicos e científicos? O objetivo do estudo é refletir sobre essa questão e apresentar um panorama da situação nacional utilizando abordagem quanti-qualitativa de caráter exploratório e descritivo, por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica concentrada no período entre 2016 e 2021. Os resultados da pesquisa bibliográfica demonstraram que os periódicos brasileiros dependem majoritariamente de verbas públicas, e mesmo os que cobram taxas de processamento de artigos são financiados indiretamente com essas verbas, pois são pagas também por financiamento de agências públicas de fomento. A internacionalização seria uma das causas do aumento dos custos para a manutenção dos periódicos. Há debate sobre a diminuição ou não das exigências para internacionalização de periódicos, o que poderia contribuir para reduzir os custos de publicação, mas implicaria prejuízos e isolamento da ciência brasileira. Uma solução apontada é a padronização e racionalização da alocação de recursos para o financiamento de taxas de processamento de artigos e periódicos, a exemplo da iniciativa PLAN S. A busca por soluções viáveis para a redução de custos e formas alternativas de financiamento é necessária para a manutenção dos periódicos científicos brasileiros.
Divulgação do uso de polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA) no Youtube: educação em saúde ou incentivo a busca pelo corpo perfeito?
Authors: Gouvêa Emanuela , Rabelo Vitor , Alvarez Abreu Paula
Published: November 2023

As mídias têm reforçado o estereótipo de corpo perfeito na sociedade, que aprisiona mulheres na busca por um padrão idealizado de beleza, mesmo que para isso, seja necessário recorrer ao consumo de medicamentos ou cirurgias. Atualmente, tem-se noticiado o uso do preenchedor cutâneo, polimetilmetacrilato (PMMA), realizado, por vezes, por profissionais não habilitados, apesar dos riscos. Neste trabalho, foi feita uma análise do conteúdo dos vídeos sobre PMMA disponíveis no YouTube e sobre a presença de profissionais de saúde nestes. Foram observados mais vídeos que alertavam sobre os riscos do PMMA do que vídeos que incentivavam o seu uso em procedimentos estéticos. Apesar disso, os vídeos que incentivavam o uso indevido foram mais visualizados, e nestes foram encontradas informações equivocadas, contrárias as legislações vigentes e apelativas ao uso, o que pode colocar em risco a saúde dos usuários desta mídia.

Regulação da mídia no Brasil
Authors: Torquato Chalini
Published: November 2023

Antes mesmo de confirmar sua candidatura para as eleições presidenciais de 2022, Lula já defendia reiteradamente a necessidade de retomar o debate da regulação da mídia. Tendo em vista a possibilidade da retomada deste debate, após sua eleição, o presente artigo busca resgatar a necessária memória de discussões históricas nessa matéria para entender como se dão as lógicas estruturais que orientam as políticas de comunicação no Brasil.  Para isso, opta-se pelo método da revisão bibliográfica, através de um trajeto descritivo desde a chegada da TV no país, os processos de aprovação das primeiras legislações, bem como o CBT e do capítulo constitucional para a Comunicação Social, os debates desenvolvidos durante os mandatos de Lula e Dilma, bem como os principais desafios democráticos colocados atualidade. Constata-se que há uma permissividade histórica e uma relação pactuada entre elites políticas e econômicas no setor da comunicação que não apenas consolidou uma estrutura regulatória ineficiente como também impede que ela seja atualizada.

Gradient COBRA: A kernel-based consensual aggregation for regression
Authors: HAS Sothea
Published: November 2023

In this article, we introduce a kernel-based consensual aggregation method for regression problems. We aim to flexibly combine individual regression estimators r1, ..., rM using a weighted average where the weights are defined based on predicted features given by all the basic estimators and some kernel function. This work extends the context of Biau et al. (2016) to a more general kernel-based framework. We show that this more general configuration also inherits the consistency of the basic consistent estimators, and the same convergence rate as in the classical method is achieved. Moreover, an optimization method based on gradient descent algorithm is proposed to efficiently and rapidly estimate the key parameter of the strategy. Various of numerical experiments carried out on several simulated and real datasets are also provided to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the method with the introduction of gradient descent algorithm and smoother kernel functions respectively. Moreover, a domain adaptation-like property of the method is also illustrated on a physics data provided by Commissariat à l'Énergie Atomique (CEA).
Public Investment, Private Investment, and Labor Productivity in Nepal: A Cointegration and VECM Analysis
Authors: Chamlagai Pranick Raj , Ramirez Miguel D.
Published: November 2023

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of public and private investment on labor productivity in Nepal using time series data from 1991-2021. By employing the Zivot-Andrews single break unit root test and Johansen cointegration analysis, a long-run stable relationship is found among public investment, private investment, and labor productivity. A VECM model is estimated to find that both public and private investment have a positive impact on labor productivity with a more significant and strong impact coming from the private investment in the long run. The nature of labor productivity and public investment is found to be endogenous and that of private investment is found to be weakly exogenous. Additionally, a Granger Causality Test is performed and the result shows that labor productivity and private investment cause public investment. To test the causation from public investment to labor productivity, a Pairwise Granger Causality Test is done and it is found that public investment causes labor productivity only at lags of 4 and 5 which confirms that public investment takes time to impact the labor market conditions. Policy implications are discussed.
Heavy metals, macro-minerals and human health risk assessment of spiced and unspiced tiger nut drink commercialized in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria

Published: November 2023

The need for cheap, nutritional, refreshing and local content development has increased the demand and consumption of Tiger nut drink by residents of Port Harcourt and its environs in recent years. However, the inadequate nutritional information and without nutritional facts label has made it difficult for the Tiger nut consuming populace to ascertain its health benefits. Hence, the objective of this paper was to investigate the concentrations of selected heavy metals (Pb, Ni, Fe, Cu, and Zn), macro-minerals (Mg and Ca) and human health risk assessment of spiced and unspiced Tiger nut drink commercialized in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria using standard analytical techniques after mixed acid digestion. The mineral elements were found in the order of Mg (79.87 mg/L) > Ca (50.79 mg/L) and Mg (96.82 mg/L) > Ca (68.18 mg/L) in unspiced and spiced tiger nut drinks respectively [< WHO: Mg (150 mg/L), Ca (200 mg/L)] while heavy metals concentrations in the samples analyzed were Fe (1.82 mg/L) > Zn (1.16 mg/L) > Cu (0.4160 mg/L) and Fe (2.12 mg/L) > Zn (1.51 mg/L) > Cu (0.45 mg/L) in unspiced and spiced tiger nut drinks respectively. Pb and Ni were undetected (< 0.00 mg/l) in both unspiced and spiced gingered tiger nut drinks studied. Only Fe and Cu concentrations exceeded WHO standards (0.3 and 0.02 mg/L). However, intake of these heavy metals is unlikely to pose any non-carcinogenic health risk to consumers (target hazard quotient (THQ) < 1, HI<1 for adults and children) in both spiced and unspiced tiger nut drink. Generally, results from this study showed higher concentrations of metals in spiced tigernut drink than in the unspiced tiger nut drink. This could be attributed to the combined bioaccumulated levels of heavy metals in the tiger nut tubers and in the spice used. Frequent consumption of spiced tiger nut drink may rapidly increase the levels of heavy metals in the human body and pose chronic risk to human health and also beneficially increase the levels of macrominerals in the body. Standard production processes and regulated spicing of tiger nut drink needs to be provided by regulatory agencies (NAFDAC) and made available to producers of tiger nut drink.
Pieces of peace: Transpersonal approaches in Israeli-Palestinian peace-building events
Authors: Reichmann Popowski Valerie
Published: November 2023

This article presents a research study in which Israeli and Palestinian peacebuilding events embedded in a transpersonal container were examined. It explored the lived experience of four Israelis and three Palestinians who participated in or facilitated peacebuilding initiatives rooted in spiritual, holistic, and integrative methods. Simultaneously, such peace initiatives were joined and observed through the direct participation of the researcher in three transpersonal peacebuilding endeavours. Constructivist grounded theory was chosen as the study’s methodology, as it is particularly valuable for exploring complex and multifaceted phenomena and as it focuses on understanding the multiple realities and perspectives of participants. The results indicate that peacebuilding events entrenched in transpersonal approaches emphasize the painful but necessary exposure of Israeli and Palestinian opposing narratives by applying a variety of integrative approaches during these events. Three main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) Humanizing connections, (2) the role and power of semiotic signs, and (3) manifestations of change. These themes provided the foundation for the creation of the dual narratives integration model, contributing to the field’s understanding of these complex and multifaceted peace initiatives.

本研究以2020 年8 月中國人民解放軍對臺軍事演習為案例，借徑國際衝突常見的戰爭／和平新聞學及愛國主義框架等理論，從四家主流媒體的消息來源、關鍵詞、描繪形象等面向，探究報導內容分歧，及對臺海衝突議題的態度與立場傾向。量化研究發現，臺灣四家媒體對國際衝突中母國與敵國的好惡表達，及認定臺、美能否阻止中共武力犯臺，報導立場與使用框架皆有顯著差異，而消息來源使用和報導數量則相反。《中國時報》使用和平新聞學，《自由時報》、《蘋果日報》傾向戰爭新聞學、愛國主義等框架、表達對中共政府的負面情緒，認定中共無法成功犯臺；《聯合報》在各種框架呈現上則較持平。本文也以質性分析闡釋、討論，並在末尾提出探討限制及對未來研究的建議。

 

This study examined the news coverage of the August 2020 Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) military exercise against Taiwan in order to investigate the content discrepancies, attitudes, and political leanings of the four mainstream media outlets in Taiwan regarding cross-strait conflict issues. Using the theories of war/peace journalism framework and patriotism framework, the study analyzed and compared the choices of news sources, the uses of keywords, and the portrayals of events among different media. Quantitative findings reveal that there were significant differences in the coverage of four different media in Taiwan in terms of the expressions of favorability towards the home country or the adversary in international conflicts, the positions adopted in reporting on whether Taiwan and the United States can deter the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) military aggression against Taiwan, and the uses of reporting frameworks. No significant differences were found in terms of choices of news sources and the number of news items. The findings indicate that the China Times tended to use peace journalism frameworks. The Liberty Times and the Apple Daily leaned towards war journalism frameworks and patriotism framework, tended to express negative sentiments towards the Chinese government, and believed that China cannot successfully invade Taiwan by force. The United Daily News, in comparison, maintained a relatively neutral stance. Qualitative analysis and discussion were included to interpret the findings at the end of the study, as well as the limitations of the study and suggestions for future study.

Published: November 2023

本研究從框架理論與敘事分析出發，探討俄烏戰爭中烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基於官方推特（Twitter）公開推文的主題及其言說策略。資料蒐集時間為2022 年2 月24 日至11 月13 日，總計447 則推文。經隱含狄利克雷分布（Latent Dirichlet Allocation，簡稱LDA）主題模型分析後發現，澤倫斯基推文的主題框架可分為：1. 人道主義迫害、2. 援助與抵制、3. 與烏克蘭同一陣線。進一步檢視其敘事架構後發現澤倫斯基在善惡歸納、道德評價和行動方案等面向，彰顯戰爭歸因與烏克蘭國家／人民價值，並且表達烏國訴求和利益，更藉由「口號」連結其目的與主題框架，進而爭取國際輿論支持。

 

This study employed framing theory and narrative analysis to explore the themes and discourse strategies of the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s public tweets on his official Twitter account during the Russia-Ukraine War. The data was collected from February 24th to November 13th, 2022, with a total of 447 tweets. After employing the Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling analysis, the study found that the thematic framework of Zelenskyy’s tweets can be categorized into three main topics: 1. humanitarian persecution, 2. aid and boycott, and 3. solidarity with Ukraine. Upon further examination of the narrative structure, the study found that Zelenskyy emphasized war attribution and Ukrainian national/people’s values in terms of good vs. evil induction, moral evaluation, and action plans. In addition, Zelenskyy expressed Ukrainian demands and interests while connecting his purpose and thematic framework with “slogans” to gain support from the international community.

自2019 年《曼達洛人》（The Mandalorian ）影集採用LED 幕取代藍、綠幕的製作方式，已為影視產業帶來新的變革。因此，本研究試圖探討LED幕虛擬製作室對當代影視產業、影視內容產製與視覺美學之影響。研究方法採用文獻分析法與深度訪談法，研究結果首先得出採用LED 幕虛擬製作室時，後期製作必須在前期階段就展開，且要在拍攝前完成虛實景物預覽等工作，此「後期前製化」改變了產製流程。其次，LED 幕虛擬製作室目前以製作廣告、MV 類型為多，建議未來可以開發電影或影集來擴展製作內容與國際競爭力。最後在視覺美學方面，多種數位科技的深度混合可讓演員進入虛擬空間演出時，感知到周遭環境的真實性，進而創造擬真性的虛實影像，以引發觀者沈浸在感知真實性之美學體驗。

 

The use of LED screens instead of blue and green screens for production in The Mandalorian television series since 2019 has brought about a revolution in the film and television industry. This study aims to explore the impact of LED screen virtual production studios on the contemporary film and television industry, content production, and visual aesthetics. The study employed literature analysis and in-depth interviews as research methodologies. Findings indicate that, firstly, the adoption of LED screen virtual production studios requires the post-production process to be initiated during the pre-production stage, and the preview of virtual and real scenery must be completed before shooting, resulting in a change in the production process. Secondly, LED screen virtual production studios are currently primarily used for producing advertisements and music videos. The study suggests that, in the future, the studio can be employed for creating films or television series in order to expand the range of content production and increase international competitiveness. Finally, the deep integration of various digital technologies in visual aesthetics allows performers to perceive the realism of their surroundings while performing in the virtual space, thereby creating a realistic virtual image to immerse viewers in an aesthetically pleasing experience of perceptual realism.

Published: November 2023

Traditional banking practices from the British era, through the reforms era, nationalization, privatization, and the rise of an ever-increasing number of international banks in India, all comprise a vast canvas that makes up India's banking industry's history. Thus, the development of banking in India has been a protracted process. Keeping pace with the trends, India's banking sector has also reached new heights. Banks' methods of operation have undergone a dramatic transformation as a result of technological advancements. The danger of a lack of work-life balance is particularly evident in the banking sector. When it comes to satisfying their clients' varying requirements, bank employees exert tremendous effort. Tightening deadlines and increased workloads mean that workers must prioritise the quality of their product. It's challenging to strike a balance between work and personal life in today's fast-paced, always-on society. Human resource quality directly impacts the success of the banking industry.
