PDGFRL is differentially expressed in lymph node metastasis in human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). Between the breast and the brain reside the secondary lymphoid organ, the lymph nodes. We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with metastasis to the lymph nodes in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that platelet derived growth factor receptor like, PDGFRL, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the lymph node metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. PDGFRL mRNA was present at decreased quantities in lymph node metastases as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of PDGFRL in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with patient post-progression survival, in lymph node positive patients but not in lymph node negative patients. Modulation of PDGFRL expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the lymph nodes and the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.

“They’re very passionate about making sure that women stay healthy”: Women’s experiences participating in a community paramedicine program
Authors: Schwab-Reese Laura , Renner Lynette M , King Hannah , Miller R. Paul , Forman Darren , Krumenacker Joshua S. , DeMaria Andrea L.
Published: March 2021

Community paramedicine programs (i.e., physician-directed preventive care by emergency medical services personnel embedded in communities) offer a novel approach to community-based health care. Project Swaddle, a community paramedicine program for mothers and their infants, seeks to address (directly or through warm referrals) the physical, mental, social, and economic needs of its participants. The objective of this process evaluation was to describe women’s experiences in Project Swaddle. By understanding their experiences, our work begins to build the foundation for similar programs and future examinations of the efficacy and effectiveness of these approaches. We completed 21 interviews with women living in Indiana (July 2019 - February 2020) who were currently participating in or had graduated from Project Swaddle. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a six-phase approach to thematic analysis. Four emerging themes resulted: 1) Program enrollment was influenced by the community paramedics’ experience and connections; 2) Participating women view the community paramedics as a trusted provider who supplied necessary health information and support; 3) In their role as physician extenders, the community paramedics enhanced patient care through communication with other providers; 4) The program and its community paramedics connected participants to outside resources, which aimed to support their holistic health and wellbeing. The results of our process evaluation suggest Project Swaddle is a promising approach to improving the health and wellbeing of women and infants. Future outcome and impact evaluations are necessary to quantify the effect of Project Swaddle on its participants.

Oil and Mortality
Authors: Sanginabadi Bahram
Published: March 2021

This paper investigates the impacts of a large and exogenous oil price shock in December 1973 on mortality rates of the major oil producer nations of the Middle East and North Africa. We use longitudinal data from 1960 to 2014 and we apply the difference-in-differences approach to investigate the main question of the research. Our findings show that the oil price shock did not lead to higher GDP per capita, but it did lead to lower mortality. These findings are puzzling. A possible explanation is that the oil price shock allowed for higher spending on publicly funded health care. We find a positive impact of the oil price increase on the number of hospital beds which perhaps suggests that higher oil revenues increased spending on public health and that possibly decreased mortality.

Factors Contributing to Filicide-Suicide: Differences Between Male and Female Perpetrators
Authors: Murfree Lauren , Schwab-Reese Laura , DeMaria Andrea L.
Published: March 2021

Background: One-quarter of homicide-suicide deaths in the U.S. are children. Filicide-suicide, a subset of homicide-suicide involving parent or caregiver perpetrators, is the most common form of homicide-suicide involving children. While these incidents have significant impacts, relatively few studies examine modifiable factors that contribute to these incidents.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify patterns of circumstances and contributing factors for filicide-suicide deaths, focusing on the individual and interpersonal differences between male and female perpetrators.Participants: This study utilized data from the National Violent Deaths Reporting System (NVDRS), which included 76 filicide-suicide incidents reported to NVDRS in 32 U.S. states between 2013-2015.Methods: We conducted a qualitative content analysis, which was grounded in the Marzuk et al. (1992) framework. We reviewed the filicide-suicide narratives and engaged in conversations about codes or themes that emerged for the filicide-suicide narratives. Additional codes were added as needed, and narratives were retroactively coded to ensure codes were consistently applied.Results: Relationship conflict and mental health issues were common among male and female perpetrators, but the manifestation of these factors differed greatly. For female perpetrators, relationship conflict, mental health issues, and children’s chronic health issues commonly co-occurred. In contrast, relationship conflict, history of violence, and consequences of violence (e.g., legal issues, job problems) more commonly co-occurred among male perpetrators. Conclusion: Filicide-suicides are preventable acts of violence with numerous contributing factors. Our findings highlight the need for prevention efforts to be grounded in these interpersonal experiences, particularly the differences between male and female perpetrators differences.

Mathematical Principles of COVID-19 Infections version 2
Authors: xu zhaobin
Published: March 2021

Through statistical analysis of COVID-19 infection cases in many countries, it is noticed the virulence of COVID-19 is indeed decreasing over time. A virulence attenuation theory is proposed due to the deletion of virus UTR (Untranslated Region). Though the statistic analysis of COVID-19 meta-genomic data, the COVID-19 UTR region was confirmed to experience a significant truncation through time but could be stabilized around the length of 29782nt. It was also discovered the virus UTR corrosion probability was dependent on its own length. This might due to the secondary structure of its UTR. Therefore, it is inferred COVID-19 virulence would not be able to disappear naturally without strong human intervention although its virulence engaged a significant declination compared to the first wave. A microscopic virus population proliferation model that could model virus population dynamic is first proposed. Using this model, we find the individual virus virulence is positive correlated with the host population density. We propose that the major factor driving COVID-19 infection is the very sensitive relationship between the maintenance of virus genome active length and the host population contact density, rather than the traditional virus gene mutation. Due to the existence of this sensitive relationship, strict epidemic prevention measures can reduce the number of viruses in a short time, and finally realize the complete extinction of COVID-19 in human society. This mathematical model could also help explain lots of mystical phenomenon during this epidemic such as how asymptomatic infections happened and why young people drove a second surge of COVID-19 cases, including a controversial topic about the function of face mask in mortality and virus virulence evolution.

Expression of Concern: Potential Risks and Unknown Effects of mRNA Vaccines On Population Health (5th Rev.)
Authors: Wu Jianqing
Published: March 2021

Several mRNA vaccines are used on the population in the U.S. My prior simulation study and model study enabled me to identify many flaws in clinical trials, side-effect evaluation methods and mechanism studies. Persons have organs’ functional reserves, which could be from a few percents to many times of the minimum functions necessary for sustaining life. It is an indisputable fact that drugs and chemicals can slowly damage cells and tissues without causing any symptoms. To find a better approach to assessing vaccine risks, I consider failure in predicting drug side effects in product liabilities and removals of FDA approved drugs. Based on evidence I have found, I conclude that the risks of vaccination cannot be determined by experiments alone and must be determined by using a combination of methods. By studying mRNA expression dynamics and kinetics, I predict that vaccination with mRNA vaccines may increase cancer risks by affecting the Central Nervous System, interfere with normal protein synthesis, dramatically disrupt the normal immune system, alter the normal selection process for viral evolution resulting in more virulent viruses, and aggravate chronic diseases or cause them to relapse. Two root problems are practical inability to control expression sites, and expected severe adverse reactions from repeated vaccination, particularly, booster shots. Off-target expressions may result in unknown health effects while the severe adverse reactions pose unreasonable risks on persons whose vascular functional reserves are relatively small, or whose vascular systems are temporarily burdened by other causes such as viral infections or life activities. If an mRNA vaccine is administered on a pregnant women by second or booster shots, spike protein synthesis in fetus brain disrupts the highly regulated protein synthesis processes, resulting in potential brain damages. I found that the actual number of deaths caused by mRNA vaccines has been grossly underestimated.
Polygenetic mélange in the retrowedge foredeep of an active arc-continent collision, Coastal Range of eastern Taiwan (accepted manuscript)

Published: March 2021

The Plio-Pleistocene Lichi Mélange in the Coastal Range of eastern Taiwan offers an excellent opportunity to study processes of mélange development at the continent-ocean interface of an active arc-continent collision. This paper presents new results of detailed geologic mapping, lithofacies analysis, magneto-biostratigraphy, paleocurrent, and paleoslope analyses in the southern Coastal Range to investigate the origins and significance of this mélange. The results show that the Lichi Mélange consists of mass-transport deposits including well-stratified block-in-matrix beds (olistostromes), extra-formational blocks (olistoliths), and broken formation with abundant soft-sediment deformation features that transition laterally into distal mega-slump beds and pebbly mudstones (subaqueous debrites). Abundant observations of depositional contacts and interbedding of mélange with contemporary (ca. 4–1 Ma) flysch units of the Fanshuliao and Paliwan formations confirm their sedimentary origin. Compacted sedimentological shear fabrics in olistostromal facies are broadly parallel to internal stratification and bedding, and are readily distinguishable from cross-cutting brittle fault zones related to post ~1 Ma west-vergent thrust faults. Paleoslope and paleocurrent analyses record down-slope gravity-driven transport toward the east and southeast.The data provide evidence for a polygenetic origin of the Lichi Mélange, in which sedimentary mass-wasting deposits are overprinted by younger tectonic shear zones. Slide blocks, conglomerate clasts, and detrital sand were all derived from an eroding source in the east-vergent eastern retrowedge of the Taiwan collisional orogen. The source area included tectonically accreted fragments of the two converging plates that represent shallow-crustal equivalents of the Miocene Yuli Belt and Eastern Slates exposed in the modern Central Range. Reconstructed stratigraphic panels record eastward progradation of olistostromal facies over distal basinal flysch deposits, which we infer resulted from eastward (oceanward) migration of a steep submarine slope at the leading edge of the retrowedge orogenic front. Thus, the Coastal Range basin evolved as a migrating retro-foredeep basin that formed on top of older, pre-collisional volcanic arc and forearc crust. These results demonstrate a unique type of sedimentary basin that is formed and then rapidly inverted at a convergent continent-ocean interface during the transition from intra-oceanic subduction to arc-continent collision. This revised history of the Lichi Mélange provides a new perspective on the dynamics of rapid crustal mixing and tectonic recycling at the convergent suture of an active arc-continent collision system.
Induction as a heuristic based on structures of regularities
Authors: Takamatsu Kaoru
Published: March 2021

Abstract Induction is a heuristic method to guess or to discover regularities (constant patterns that things follow such as a large variety of categories or natural laws). However, the main stream of the study of induction focuses not on the heuristic method but on strength evaluation of given inductive arguments. This article describes an attempt to construct a framework of this heuristic method on the basis of the idea that human beings have acquired through evolution a perceptual-cognitive system with the functions: perception of things and certain primitive regularities in the perceived things, extraction of general structures of the perceived regularities, and application of the acquired knowledge of the structures to guess prospective regularities. A way of this application would be the heuristic method. The constructed framework creates inference that satisfies main properties of induction by regarding strength of inductive arguments as rationality of the inference in the framework. Moreover, the framework includes simple cases of analogy, abduction, and induction about causal relationships between events. Some testable predictions to examine this framework are raised, and the results of this framework is compared with those of existing models of induction.
Fit Gets Better: A Longitudinal Study of Changes in Interest Fit in Educational and Work Environments
Authors: Hanna Alexis , Briley Daniel A , Einarsdóttir Sif , Hoff Kevin , Rounds James
Published: March 2021

Theories of person-environment (P-E) fit describe a dynamic process in which fit should improve over time due to changes in a person’s attributes, the environment, or both. Although these ideas are central in several theoretical perspectives, they have largely gone untested. Here, we report a longitudinal examination of interest congruence (i.e., interest fit) across 12 years during the transition from education to the workforce. The study uses four methods to capture interest congruence and the drivers of fit change: growth models, latent congruence models, person and environment latent difference scores, and piecewise growth models based on environmental transitions. Each method uses a different lens to understand interest congruence in educational and work domains. Across methods, three results were typically found: (1) interest congruence improved over time in school and at work, (2) participants’ interests often predicted educational and work changes, and (3) participants’ interests rarely changed in response to their environment. These results support a dynamic conceptualization of fit and suggest that selection—rather than socialization—is the main mechanism through which individuals achieve better interest fit during young adulthood. Other implications are discussed for theory development and the applied use of interest assessments.
Vulnerable Dispositional Traits and Chronic Pain: Predisposing but not Predetermining

Dispositional traits can be protective or contribute to increased vulnerability in individuals with chronic pain. This study aims to evaluate the predictive utility of two dispositional trait measures, affect balance style and multi-domain trait groups specific to clinical pain, psychosocial functioning, experimental pain, and health outcomes at two years in individuals with chronic knee pain. The study is a prospective analysis of 168 community dwelling individuals aged 45-85 years old with knee pain with or at risk for knee osteoarthritis. At baseline, affect balance style and multi-domain trait groups were predictive of psychosocial and clinical pain measures with the multi-domain trait groups showing a greater range of association with clinical measures. At the two-year time point, both the affect balance style groups and the multi-domain trait groups were predictive of physical and psychosocial functioning while the multi-domain trait groups were also predictive of all clinical pain measures. Interestingly, individuals in the vulnerable trait groups showed more variability in dispositional trait status at the two-year time point compared to those in the more protective trait groups. Findings reiterate that a vulnerable trait may be predisposing but is not predetermining regarding pain-related experiences.

Published: March 2021

We thank Ropovik and IJzerman for taking the time to write their blog post that follows up on prior correspondence in BBS (Behavioral and Brain Sciences). Our reading of their blog post is that there are two key aspects of disagreement. First, when implementing a p-curve analysis, we consider it crucial to follow all best practices, not just some of them. Second, it is our stance that illustrative evidence in a theory paper should not be treated as if it were comprehensive coverage of all available evidence. We elaborate on both aspects in our reply, the first of which will be quite technical and the second more fundamental.
Uncovering the realities of delusional experience in schizophrenia: a qualitative phenomenological study
Authors: Feyaerts Jasper , Kusters Wouter , Van Duppen Zeno , Vanheule Stijn , Myin-Germeys Inez , Sass Louis
Published: March 2021

Background Delusions in schizophrenia are commonly approached as empirical false beliefs about everyday reality. Phenomenological accounts, by contrast, have suggested that delusions are more adequately understood as pertaining to a different kind of reality-experience. To date, however, the specific nature of delusional reality-experience has not been subject to systematic empirical study. It is also unclear howthis alteration of reality-experience should be characterized, which dimensions of experiential life are involved and whether delusional reality may differ from standard reality in various ways. Furthermore, little is known about how delusional patients value and relate to these experiential alterations. This study aimed to investigate the natureof delusional reality-experience, and its subjective apprehension, in individuals with lived experience of delusions and a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis.Methods In this study, individuals with lived experience of delusions and a schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis formed a purposeful sample. Phenomenologically driven semi-structured interviews were conducted to explore the nature of delusional reality-experience and participants’ subjective valuation of these experiences. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative method tailored to the in-depth exploration of participants’ first-person perspective, was used to analyse participants’ accounts.Findings Between Mar 2, 2020 and Sep 30, 2020, 18 adults with a clinical schizophrenia-spectrum diagnosis and lived experience of delusions participated in the interview-study. The findings suggest that delusions are often embedded in wide-ranging alterations of basic reality-experience, involving quasi-ineffable atmospheric and ontological qualities that undermine participants’ sense of the world as unambiguously real, fully present, and shared with others. We also found thatdelusional reality-experience can differ from standard reality in various way (i.e., in a hypo –and hyper-real form), across multiple dimensions (e.g., meaningfulness, necessity/contingency, detachment/engagement), and that participants are often implicitly or explicitly aware of the distinction between delusional and standard reality. Finally, delusional experience can have an enduring value and meaning that is not fully captured by a strictly medical perspective.Interpretation Increased awareness and recognition of the distinctive nature of delusional reality-experience, in both clinical and research settings, can improve diagnostic accuracy, explanatory models, and therapeutic support for delusional individuals whose lived realities are not always evident from an everyday perspective.

Stability and Change in Vocational Interest Profiles and Interest Congruence over the Course of Vocational Education and Training
Authors: Etzel Julian M. , Nagy Gabriel
Published: March 2021

The current study is concerned with the stability of and changes in vocational interest profiles and interest congruence in vocational education and training (VET). Specifically, we examined 1) the stability of vocational interest profiles, 2) the existence of occupational socialization effects that manifest themselves as increases in person-environment (P E) congruence, and 3) the question of whether or not changes in P-E congruence are psychologically relevant because they are related to trainees’ attitudes towards their VET course. We used data from a three-wave longitudinal sample comprising N = 2,611 trainees from five different VET courses in Germany. Through the use of meta-analytical aggregation techniques, we were able to analyze interindividual differences in intraindividual interest stability and P-E congruence and to relate these differences to trainees’ satisfaction with VET. On average, interest profiles turned out to be highly stable over the entire course of VET. However, we found substantial interindividual and intergroup differences in interest stability. Average P-E congruence increased slightly in two groups, providing only little evidence for the presumed socialization effects. Nevertheless, interindividual differences in P-E congruence and changes in P-E congruence were psychologically relevant because they were linked to trainees’ satisfaction with their VET course and changes therein.
There is no generalizability crisis

Falsificationist and confirmationist approaches provide two well-established ways of evaluating generalizability. Yarkoni rejects both and invents a third approach we call neo-operationalism. His proposal cannot work for the hypothetical concepts psychologists use, because the universe of operationalizations is impossible to define, and hypothetical concepts cannot be reduced to their operationalizations. We conclude that he is wrong in his generalizability-crisis diagnosis.
Linking Big Five Personality Domains and Facets to Alcohol (Mis)Use: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Lui P. Priscilla , Chmielewski Michael , Trujillo Mayson , Morris Joseph , Pigott Terri
Published: March 2021

Aims: The goal of this investigation was to synthesize (un)published studies linking Big Five personality domains and facets to a range of alcohol use outcomes. Meta-analyses were conducted to quantify the unique associations between alcohol use outcomes and each Big Five personality domains over and above other domains. Within each domain, meta-analyses also were conducted to examine the unique contribution of each personality facet in alcohol use outcomes. Methods: Systematic literature reviews were performed in PsycINFO and PubMed using keywords related to alcohol use and personality. Peer-reviewed and unpublished studies were screened and coded for the meta-analyses. Eighty independent samples were subjected to correlated effects meta-regressions. Results: Over and above other Big Five personality domains, both conscientiousness and agreeableness were negatively correlated with alcohol consumption, risky/hazardous drinking, and negative drinking-related consequences. Facet-level analyses indicated that deliberation and dutifulness were uniquely associated with alcohol (mis)use over and above other conscientiousness facets, and compliance and straightforwardness were uniquely associated with alcohol (mis)use over and above other agreeableness facets. Extraversion—namely excitement seeking—was correlated with alcohol consumption, whereas neuroticism—namely impulsiveness and angry hostility—was correlated with negative drinking-related consequences. Conclusions: Personality characteristics are robust correlates of alcohol (mis)use. Examining relevant narrowband traits can inform mechanisms by which personality affects drinking behaviors and related problems, and ways to enhance clinical interventions for alcohol use disorder. Gaps in this literature and future research directions are discussed.
Vocal emotion adaptation aftereffects within and across speaker genders: Roles of timbre and fundamental frequency
Authors: Nussbaum Christine , von Eiff Celina Isabelle , Skuk Verena G. , Schweinberger Stefan R.
Published: March 2021

Although previous research demonstrated perceptual aftereffects in emotional voice adaptation, the contribution of different vocal cues to these effects is unclear. In two experiments, we used parameter-specific morphing of adaptor voices to investigate the relative roles of fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre in vocal emotion adaptation, using angry and fearful utterances. Participants adapted to voices containing emotion-specific information in either F0 or timbre, with all other parameters kept constant at an intermediate 50% morph level. Full emotional adaptors and ambiguous adaptors were used as reference conditions. Adaptors were either of the same (Experiment 1) or opposite speaker gender (Experiment 2) of target voices. In Experiment 1, we found consistent aftereffects in all adaptation conditions. Crucially, aftereffects following timbre adaptors were much larger than following F0 adaptors and were only marginally smaller than those following full adaptors. In Experiment 2, adaptation aftereffects appeared massively and proportionally reduced, with differences between morph types being no longer significant. These results suggest that timbre plays a larger role than F0 in vocal emotion adaptation, and that vocal emotion adaptation is compromised by eliminating gender-congruency between adaptors and targets. Our findings also add to mounting evidence suggesting a major role of timbre in auditory adaptation.
Nurse migration in Australia, Germany and the UK: A rapid evidence assessment of primary research
Authors: Smith Jamie
Published: March 2021

Aim To examine existing primary research on nurse migration, including educational needs and initiativesBackground Nurse migration is a common strategy used to address nursing workforce needs.Introduction Agreements exist between countries to facilitate nurse migration, however, it is unclear how nurse migrants have contributed to developing the data on which these arrangements are based.Methods We conducted a rapid evidence assessment to review the available primary research data. The search strategy looked for sources that involve, was developed with or franchises migrant nurses. The papers included were assessed for methodological quality using the SRQR and CONSORT checklists.Findings The primary research data retrieved produced 4 main themes; migrant nurses are not clearly defined in research, discrimination is often reported by migrant nurses, language and communication competencies are important and structured integration programmes are highly valued by migrant nurses and destination healthcare employers.Discussion The findings show that migrant nurses are disenfranchised in primary research in healthcare and this is congrunent with wider reports of discrimination. Structured integration programmes improve the experience of migrant nurses.Conclusion There is a strong evidence for including migrant nurses in all aspects of research.Implications for Nursing Policy This has implications for policy because ethical and sustainable nurse migration relies on including nurse migrants in data.

The present paper focuses on the problem of values and representation of language as an artistic value. The main objectives of the research are to specify the role of artistic values for people, represent the methodology for the integration of arts into foreign language classes, evaluate its results. The research questions of the study aimed to investigate how the experimental course contributed to students’ attitude towards artistic values, the development of their language and communication skills. The outlined methodology of arts integration into foreign language classes involves teaching art terms, phraseological units about art, popular-quotations, and teaching through literary translation and dialogue of cultures. The one-term experimental integrated course of English and art classes was implemented by two secondary schools in Kyiv (Ukraine). The evaluation of the results was done with the method of qualitative research. The findings confirmed that language as an artistic value is a powerful instrument for students’ personal, artistic, and cognitive development.
Impact of the first COVID-19 lockdown on scientific productivity and workload in Denmark: a gender analysis

Published: March 2021

The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown of Universities globally in the spring of 2020 appears to have had a negative impact on female academics in countries studied to date. Denmark is an exemplar country with clear legislative practices to support gender quality, and differences between men and women with regards to unpaid house and care work are less substantial than many other places. It is largely unknown whether Danish academics experienced the same level of COVID-19-related disruption to productivity and whether women, or academics with children in general experienced more serious disruption. To investigate the local effects of the lockdown in Danish academia, we (i) performed an analysis of preprints in a single academic field and (ii) surveyed academics employed at Denmark’s largest University. We found that parents with young children worked less hours per day during the lockdown than academics with older or no children and that this effect was more pronounced in women with young children. The vast majority of both male and female scholars with teaching responsibility reported more time spent on teaching. A larger proportion of junior academics felt their productivity decreased compared to senior academics. Additionally, analyses of the number self-reported submitted grants and manuscripts did not show any differences differ by gender or career level. However, the gender gap did increase during the first month of the lockdown with respect to the number of manuscripts submitted to preprint servers. This study contributes to emerging data on the impact of lockdowns on academic productivity and highlights the negative impact on parents with young children that is exacerbated in women with young children.
Roses in Amber: Gendered Discourse in Disney’s 2017 Adaptation of Villeneuve’s Fairytale Beauty and the Beast
Authors: Rashed Atoof Abdullah , Al-Sharqi Laila. M.
Published: March 2021

This study considers the dialogic relationship between the 2017 Disney live-action film Beauty and the Beast with Gabrielle-Suzanne de Villeneuve’s fairy tale and Disney’s 1991 animated version. Drawing on cultural and feminist discourse, the study seeks to examine Disney’s live-action film for incidents of cultural appropriation of gender representation compared to Villeneuve’s fairy tale and Disney’s 1991 animated version. The Study argues that the 2017 film adaptation reverses the traditional patriarchal notions and embraces a transgressive feminist discourse/approach as part of Disney’s strategy of diversity and inclusion of gender, race, class, and sexual orientation as constantly evolving cultural categories. This study finds significant alterations made to the physical and psychological attributes of the 2017 film’s three characters: Beauty/Belle, the Beast, and the Enchantress, changes that align with the film’s gendered discourse. By reversing the characteristic privileging of the male and the empowerment of the female, the live-action succeeds in addressing the contemporary audience demands of diversity and inclusion. The study concludes that the changes made in the 2017 film adaptation displace the oppressive patriarchal notions and stereotypical modes of representing the male and female as they have been perceived in the original fairy tale, for they are no longer compatible with contemporary cultures’ assumptions on gender.

Indonesia has a diversity of ethnic groups, as well as the various religions practiced by its people. The impact of the development of the global and regional strategic environment. Indonesia also cannot remove the influence of the development of ideologies from outside which threatens the unity of the state. The research currently being carried out is to determine the extent to which state policy programs regarding state defense can be implemented in universities in Indonesia. This is interesting given the vulnerability of students to be influenced by radical understandings currently developing. Researchers analyzed the implementation of this state defense policy using the theory of Gerorge Edward III, which analyzes the focus under study using factors, Communication, Resources, Disposition and Bureaucratic Structure. The results of the research show that the state defense policy that has been implemented so far still needs to be further improved, so far the state defense program with the civic education model is only carried out at the beginning when students enter university. Furthermore, no more citizenship programs were found. the related entities also have not found the best model so that the state defense program can be integrated and interactive. The recommendation from the current research is that state defense in universities needs to be optimized again, considering that several cases were found to involve students from high schools. Students are the nation's human resource which is very valuable to determine this nation in the future. Policies on national defense, especially the state defense program in higher education, must receive serious attention from the government, so that the younger generation, especially students, can avoid radicalism and terrorism.
The Republic of Turkey on the Verge of its Centennial: Continuity or Change?
Authors: Rizo Marcelo Macedo
Published: March 2021

The modern Republic of Turkey is close to its 100th anniversary but it has substantially changed in comparison to the secular and Western-oriented state of its initial days. After almost two decades of the AKP rule and the dazzling Erdoğan leading figure, several transformations have been experienced as in politics, because of the ascending and consolidation of an Islamist ruling party; in economy, since Turkey had an impressive performance during the first decade of the AKP in power; as well as in social sphere, due the emergence of identities that challenged the prevalent Kemalist narrative. All these changes involve complexities and provoke tense debates within Turkish society, some of which can start to be solved through next elections. Hence year 2023 becomes a watershed in Turkish History and certain questions regarding if the current trend will persist or if new transformations will take place become relevant. The discussion necessarily implies to envisage a hypothetical scenario without Erdoğan and the consequences of his absence on Turkey’s near future.
The Evolution of Post-Postmodernism: Aesthetics of Reality and Trust in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections and Freedom

Published: March 2021

This study aims to find out how literature moves from the postmodern thought, flourished until the 1990s, to the post-postmodern phenomenon. The study traces the evolution of this new phase as depicted in Jonathan Franzen’s The Corrections (2001) and Freedom (2010). It proposes these two works as examples of how over the past two decades, literature shifted from postmodernist fiction’s irony and skepticism that presents novels as “literature of emergency” to ethical objectivism and neo-realism (Franzen, 2002, p. 258). The purpose of the study is twofold. Firstly, it examines Franzen’s deployment of elements such as the subjective perception of truth, self-restraint, control, and knowledge, which he utilizes to understand reality. Secondly, it explores his employment of narrative tools (e.g., omniscient narrator, metafiction, intertextual dialogue) against postmodern fragmentation and deconstruction. By doing so, Franzen, this study demonstrates, reflects post-postmodernism’s core realist ideas that stress pragmatic interactions with the characters and readers’ cognizance of reality and encourage engagement with the narrative’s language to rework the novel’s social and cultural authority. These post-postmodern narratives reference fictional texts, real-life people, and authentic historical events that exemplify various models, simulations, and patterns of reality within and beyond the text, creating a mediated experience that enables communication with and understanding reality
Evolution of Creation from Mythology to Reality: A Multidisciplinary Study into the Roots of Shelley’s Frankenstein and Ahmed Sa’adawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad
Authors: Mahmood Karzan Aziz
Published: March 2021

Shelley’s Frankenstein has been considered a literary masterpiece since its publication. Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad is similarly a work of great significance that won the International Prize for Arabic Fiction in 2014. Since its release, the name ‘Frankenstein’ attached to Baghdad, as a novel title in the mid of the American occupation of Iraq (2005) and its connection to a universal Frankenstein, has been inspiring to the Iraqis and world fiction lovers. What remains essential about this fascination among the readers is in the questions of how and what is the connection between both works. Therefore, this paper attempts to discover the roots of the concept of creation behind Shelley’s Frankenstein in 1818 and Ahmed Saadawi’s Frankenstein in Baghdad in 2013 from mythology, theology, science, and political reality of Iraq. Besides, the linear evolution in the concept of creation throughout the mentioned areas will be displayed to unfold the origins that lie behind these colossal novels. Understanding that lineage development in the concept and the disputes around it is of great significance to the reader which can empower them to contextualize the novels since apprehending new context is a vital factor for appropriation and intertexuality. As long as there are creators and creatures as the two sides of the same process of creation, therefore, the mentioned concepts will always be discussed throughout this work; including the punishment that both protagonists suffer from as one common consequence.
From “if-then” to “what if?” Rethinking Healthcare Algorithmics with Posthuman Speculative Ethics PRE_PRINT
Authors: Smith Jamie
Published: March 2021

This paper discusses the role that algorithmic thinking and management plays in healthcare and the kind of exclusions this might create. We argue that evidence-based medicine relies on research and data to create pathways for patient journeys. Coupled with data-based algorithmic prediction tools in healthcare, they establish what could be called health algorithmics – a mode of management of healthcare that produces forms of algorithmic governmentality. Relying on a critical posthumanist perspective, we show how healthcare algorithmics is contingent on the way authority over bodies is produced and how predictive healthcare algorithms reproduce inequalities of the worlds from which they are made, centering possible futures on existing normativities regulated through algorithmic biopower. In contrast to that, we explore posthuman speculative ethics was a way to challenge understanding of “ethics” and “care” in healthcare algorithmics. We suggest some possible avenues towards working speculative ethics into healthcare while still being critically attentive to algorithmic modes of management and prediction in healthcare
