Changing Family Dynamics and Elderly Care: A Qualitative Study of Intergenerational Relationships in Kerala
Authors: Dr. Tapesh Chandra Gupta  , Dr Manoj Kumar Sahu
Published: September 2024

This study explores the impact of changing family dynamics on elder care in Kerala, India, with a focus on intergenerational relationships and caregiving challenges. As Kerala undergoes significant demographic and socio-economic transformations, traditional joint family systems are increasingly being replaced by nuclear families, affecting the availability and nature of elder care. This qualitative research utilized in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 30 participants, including 15 elderly individuals and 15 caregivers, to capture their experiences and perspectives on caregiving within the current socio-cultural context. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key themes such as emotional and physical care needs, financial strain, the use of technology, and the impact of migration on caregiving. Findings reveal that while caregivers strive to maintain familial caregiving roles, they face significant emotional and financial burdens, compounded by limited formal support systems. The study also highlights the potential of technology to support elder care and the importance of culturally relevant elder care services. The research underscores the need for targeted policy interventions, community support, and enhanced access to healthcare and financial resources to address the challenges faced by Kerala’s aging population. These findings provide valuable insights for developing effective elder care policies that are responsive to the unique socio-cultural and economic context of Kerala.

The Development of British Public Diplomacy in the Arab World
Authors: Al-Rawi Ahmed
Published: September 2024

This paper attempts to map the major changes and developments of British public diplomacy in the Arab world. I argue here that the BBC and the British Council have greatly assisted British public diplomacy efforts and can be regarded as effective because exerting influence in an indirect way can often be more effective than the direct advocacy approach followed by the British government during the colonial periods. In the beginning, the policy was focused on spreading propaganda, while today it is related to soft power and cultural diplomacy with the active use of social media. The paper concludes with a brief reference to social media use by British embassies in the region following the major Arab Spring events, indicating little audience engagement with them.
An Analysis of Yemeni Online Journalism Discourse on the COVID-19 Pandemic (Arabic)
Authors: Saeed Al-Shami Abdulrahman Mohammed
Published: September 2024

This study investigates how Yemeni online journalism has dealt with the COVID-19 pandemic. The study analyzes four of online news websites that represent the various political actors in Yemen. These websites include Al-Thawra Net (Sana’a and Riyadh editions), Al-Sahwa Net, and Aden Today. The researchers use both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods. The study found that Al-Thawra Net (the Sana’a edition) dealt the most with pandemic-related news, followed by Al-Sahwa Net, Al-Thawra Net (Riyadh version), and then Aden Alyoum. It concludes that all parties used the pandemic for political ends, considering it an opportunity to mobilize Yemeni public opinion, exchange accusations among themselves, blame each other, and hold the “Other” responsible for spreading the virus. Conspiracy theories were remarkably present in the news discourse, such as the belief that the virus was being manufactured in laboratories to harm people and gain financial benefits by selling the vaccine. Rumors were being spread and embraced, while fact-checking was noticeably absent in some cases.

تقييم معايير العلاقات العامة التسويقية في المنصات الرقمية لبناء الوعي الجمعي بقضايا البيئة وتغير المناخ: دراسة حالة لمبادرات الحكومات العربية
Authors: Seif Thabit Ghada
Published: September 2024

The study analyzes a purposive sample of digital platforms of governmental initiatives used for building public awareness of environmental issues and climate change in three Arab countries (Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia) to evaluate marketing public relations criteria. It is a descriptive comparative study that adopts a case study approach to analyze the platforms’ content, using a qualitative analysis form to evaluate (MPR) criteria. The researcher designed a scale to evaluate these criteria. The results show variance among the studied platforms in the criteria of trust, credibility, and long-term customer relations. The analysis of the " YOUTH4SUSTAINBILITY " platform in the UAE indicated a high achievement of trust and credibility, and a limited achievement of long-term customer relations; the important factor influencing this was the low achievement of customer expectations. For the “Saudi Youth for Sustainability” platform in Saudi Arabia, the analysis reveals high achievement of trust, high credibility, and low success in establishing long-term customer relations; the factor of influence here was lack of personalization. As to the Egyptian platform, “Be an Ambassador”, findings show that trust and the long-term customer relations were limited, while credibility was achieved to some extent. The study recommends highlighting the visual identity and future actions of the organization-not solely focusing on past actions. Other recommendations to better achieve marketing public relations criteria in digital platforms are increasing interactive tools, media libraries, media endorsement, and the personalization of services.
Following the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers on Facebook: A comparative study between Arab and Non-Arab Audiences
Authors: Salama Hossam , Sarver Coombs Danielle , Osman Safa
Published: September 2024

Over the past decade, sports teams and federations have prioritized providing content on important digital platforms to circulate relevant news and coverage, particularly on social networking sites. These sites have increasingly become reliable news sources that audiences can follow and then share this content among themselves. With the Middle East taking the global stage for the first time as the host of this event, it is useful to understand the similarities and differences between Arab and non-Arab audiences’ use of social media during the tournament’s qualifying stages. As such, this study compares Arab and non-Arab audiences’ use of Facebook as an information source for the 2022 World Cup qualifying matches. Results indicate that Facebook continues to enjoy a good relationship with its users who are motivated by amusement and entertainment (Ordinary) while seeking to obtain information and communicate with other individuals (Utilitarian). While these findings reflect and refine the five motivations posited by Haugh and Watkins (2016), this study also demonstrates that motives for new media require more depth and nuance than allowed for with the binary “Ordinary” and “Utilitarian” categorizations. This has implications for the Uses and Gratifications Theory as well as the methods used to study it.
From Peers to Professionals: Regulating Influencer Marketing in the United Arab Emirates
Authors: Gibbs Joseph
Published: September 2024

In their work on the regulation of social media influencers, Catalina Goanta and Sofia Ranchordás noted that the topic’s complexities involve, among other things, rethinking “the distinction between peers and professionals” (2019, 14). The United Arab Emirates in 2018 addressed this issue by essentially professionalizing what had previously often been seen as a form of “peer-to-peer” marketing. It did this by requiring official licensure for independent influencers producing sponsored content; it also affirmed the need for clear identification of the latter. While controls on social media content or e-commerce were not new in the UAE or the other Gulf Cooperation Council states, the licensing requirement marked the first such effort in the region specifically aimed at influencers (Bell 2018).[1] The UAE also recently announced that influencer activities are subject to compliance with Value Added Tax obligations, a measure discussed briefly below.
Counter-Narratives about Sub-Saharan Migrant Women in the Digital Public Sphere
Authors: Oumlil Kenza
Published: September 2024

This article looks at counter-narratives of sub-Saharan migrant women in the digital public sphere in Morocco. It aims to highlight the civic engagement of migrant social media activism. Whereas migration and media have been covered in other contexts, this study contributes to the debate in Morocco and North/Sub-Saharan Africa. It will tackle the topic of media migrant representation in Morocco, with a particular focus on women’s representation. It examines Hassan Yemcheu’s YouTube page, on which he uploads videos for the association Planet Migrant. This case study is significant because it provides rare content about the situation of sub-Saharan migrant women in Morocco in a male-dominated narrative space. Planet Migrant’s videos at times focus on migrant women’s entrepreneurship or domestic violence, an outlier from most other migrant narratives in Morocco. The methodology relies on textual analysis (Bainbridge 2010), which is supplemented with insights and comments derived from an interview conducted with Yemcheu about the processes, conditions, and content of his work.  It will highlight ways of “talking back” (Hooks 1998) to gain some symbolic digital space through participatory/citizen journalism. Through this media intervention which stands against a backdrop of misinformation and limited coverage, Yemcheu capitalizes on digital storytelling to share stories about fellow migrants. Despite the small social media reach and limited engagement, the selected videos shed light on gender issues for sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco in their struggle to regain some symbolic power and socio-political agency.
Arab Millennials’ Articulation of Identity in Cyberspace: A study of three MENA YouTubers
Authors: Ayish Mohammad , AlNajjar Abeer
Published: September 2024

This study investigates how three young Arab influencers negotiate their identities in cyberspace. Abdallah Al Maghlouth, Abdulrahman Mohammed, and Laila Hzaineh were selected for this study because they were listed among the top MENA influencers by the Arab Social Media Summit (2015) or by Stepfeed.[1] The article draws on the cultural hybridity perspective to demonstrate how these influencers articulate cultural identity across three themes: human engagement, women’s empowerment, and cultural revivalism. Cultural hybridity gained prominence within a range of cultural and social theories beginning in the 1980s. Recently, it has come to be interchangeably used with Robertson’s notion of ‘glocalization’ (Robertson 2012). Hybridity is a dynamic process necessary for cultural co-existence, continuity and for reconciling global sets of values with local (dominantly Arab-Islamic) social norms. Identity is informed by aspects of belonging or not to social groups; cyberspace is a new frontier for shaping and renewing social identities in the Middle East, with the majority of the population under 25 years and great levels of internet penetration, it is important to examine emerging sense of self and groups amongst Arab youth in cyberspace.

The Earth Turns and the World has Changed: Egyptian and Arab Science Journalism in the Digital Age
Authors: Gamal Muhammad Y
Published: September 2024

Science journalism in Egypt reflects the way science is taught, perceived and practiced in the country. Online publications cover science and technology in different ways. Yet, all of them rely on translators as most of the science stories are sourced from foreign outlets. This paper looks at how science is covered in the top publications online and argues that in the digital age new skills and approaches are required to address a younger generation who did not grow up reading newspapers in the morning. They are accustomed to smart phones, tablets, game consoles, and multimedia. Edutainment remains a difficult term to translate into Arabic despite its relevance. The paper calls for innovative approaches to change the current attitude towards science. Ultimately the paper proposes an alliance between the colleges of science, translation, and mass media: audiovisual translation holds the key to a robust online presence.
More than Meets the Eye: A Multimodal Approach to Science-Popularizing Discourse and Representation of the ‘Other’ in a Selection of National Geographic Feature Articles
Authors: Elyamany Nashwa
Published: September 2024

National Geographic Magazine (NGM) is an American cultural icon renowned for the dissemination of geographic knowledge, the exhilaration of cultural explorations, the popularization of science discourse, and the cultivation of visual imaginaries. Among popular science magazines, its distinctive force in the popular imagination squarely lies in the manipulation and division of labor among individualized and sensationalized textual and visual signifiers. While NGM is said to reproduce familiar iconic visual systems, representations of the ‘Other’ seem to constitute a unique configuration through which latent geopolitical ideologies impinge on the feature article multimodal ensemble. Extending past scholarship on National Geographic Othered representations, science-popularizing discourse, and multimodality, while mobilizing multiple tools drawn from several theories, this research proposes a genre-based multimodal framework to the analysis of feature articles as dialectically connected to the collective, the historical, and the generic dimensions of the cultural practices therein. As a point of departure, the paper examines two feature articles retrieved from the online version of NGM, particularly from the Reach for the Stars content hub the magazine created for UAE space endeavors in partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC), home to the UAE’s National Space Programme. Specifically, the study scrutinizes the representations of Arab space scientists (the Other) in manners that tie closely to the geopolitical culture of the US (the Self). Findings showcase that despite the magazine’s metaphor a window on the world, the multimodal ensembles of science-popularizing discourse in NGM emerge as complex cultural processes fashioned in response to the ever-changing US geopolitical ideologies.
Precedented History: Arab Media Coverage of the Israeli – UAE – Bahrain Normalization Agreement
Authors: Allam Rasha
Published: September 2024

On September 16, 2020, U.S. president Donald Trump hosted the signing ceremony for the tripartite diplomatic normalization agreement, known as the Abraham Accords, between the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Bahrain, and Israel at the White House. The UAE is the third Arab country to declare normalization with Israel after Egypt (1979) and Jordan (1994). Bahrain is the fourth. They are, however, considered the first among the Gulf countries. The Israeli-UAE-Bahrain agreement triggered a multitude of controversies and garnered a great deal of media attention, both in the region and worldwide. News of signing the agreement between the UAE, Bahrain, and Israel dominated the global media. Coverage focused on the quadripartite statement released by the US, regarding UAE, Bahrain and Israel, and the resulting suspension of Israeli annexation plans in exchange for diplomatic, economic, and touristic relations with the UAE and Bahrain. This focus in print, and on visual, and electronic platforms reflects the importance of this bold step in moving peace forward and easing tensions in the region.
Building Up the Arab Science Journalism Landscape
Authors: El-Shaarawi Sarah
Published: September 2024

Science journalism in the Arab world has passed through many ups and downs; this has been particularly true for the better part of the last decade. Science journalists and editors were initially optimistic that the opening of the media landscape ushered in by the uprisings of 2011 would provide the specialized field of science journalism with a badly needed renaissance. In many ways, the barriers inhibiting the growth and quality of science journalism in the region are similar to those faced elsewhere. The changes in consumption habits and shifts to digital media that have devastated legacy media institutions and forced many to substantially cut science reporting have also negatively impacted some of the most trusted sources of science reporting in the region. However, in many cases, the challenges facing science journalism in the region are unique to the Arab world, or at least manifest differently. The sociocultural, economic, and political contexts within which Arab science journalists operate have a sizable impact on what gets communicated and how. Religious and cultural particularities render certain topics taboo, a fact that lends to the dissemination of inaccurate information in some cases, and an absence of coverage in others. Self-censorship, an issue that plagues the media in many parts of the region, is also an issue with science reporting, and often leads to a lack of critical analysis or simple regurgitation of information provided by official sources.

O traumatismo intracraniano (TIC) é uma lesão que ocorre devido a impactos externos na cabeça, afetando diretamente o cérebro e as estruturas ao redor. Pode variar de uma concussão leve a danos graves, como hemorragias e fraturas no crânio, sendo uma das principais causas de morte e incapacidade no mundo. Entre os fatores de risco estão acidentes de trânsito, quedas, agressões e atividades esportivas. A gravidade das lesões depende da intensidade do trauma e da área cerebral atingida, exigindo diagnósticos rápidos e tratamento adequado para evitar sequelas permanentes e complicações fatais. O objetivo desse trabalho foi descrever um panorama epidemiológico das internações causadas por traumatismo intracraniano no Brasil, no período de 2019 a 2023. Este é um estudo de séries temporais, que usou dados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH) do DATASUS. Essa fonte abrangente oferece uma visão detalhada das internações causadas por traumatismo intracraniano no Brasil. As análises sobre as internações por traumatismo intracraniano (TIC) no Brasil revelam uma série de fatores importantes a serem considerados para políticas de saúde pública. O aumento de 0,6% nas internações entre 2019 e 2023, com destaque para os anos de 2022 e 2023, sugere que o retorno à normalidade pós-pandemia pode ter contribuído para o aumento de casos, especialmente devido ao crescimento de acidentes de trânsito e outras atividades de risco. A predominância de homens pardos, que representaram 75% e 44,7% das internações, respectivamente, evidencia uma maior vulnerabilidade desses grupos a situações que geram TIC, reforçando a necessidade de intervenções preventivas voltadas especificamente para esses indivíduos. Além disso, a concentração de casos em faixas etárias jovens, principalmente entre 20 e 29 anos, também aponta para a importância de políticas focadas em educação e conscientização sobre segurança em atividades cotidianas, como o trânsito e práticas esportivas, que afetam desproporcionalmente essa população.
The Executive Imperative: Reconsidering Return-to-Office Mandates
Authors: Westover Jonathan
Published: September 2024

This article examines research on remote and hybrid work to identify more balanced approaches for organizations transitioning employees back to the workplace after the COVID-19 pandemic. A mandatory return-to-office policy may undermine long-term employee engagement, productivity and retention as remote work expectations have changed. Instead, the research suggests implementing thoughtful hybrid strategies with elements of choice, outcome-focused performance management, technology to enable collaboration, and empowered managers. The article outlines principles for crafting sustainable hybrid policies and practices organizations can use to operationalize new approaches, such as piloting models, training managers in remote leadership, redesigning office spaces, and maintaining feedback loops. By grounding return-to-work policies in empirical evidence and continuous improvement, companies can optimize performance in the new hybrid work landscape.

Published: September 2024

Background. This research is a continuation of previous studies conducted by other researchers. The reason for this is because many students tend to rely on their mother tongue while in class or in the learning process. This reliance greatly affects children's listening skills.
Purpose The researcher's aim was to investigate the impact of mother tongue use on students' language skills, especially in Nias Islands, with a focus on communication during the teaching and learning process.  
Method. This research used a descriptive approach within a qualitative methodological framework. The research used assessment tools to evaluate language selection, semantic appropriateness, and the use of affixes. The data was collected through classroom observations and interviews with Indonesian language teachers in related schools.
Results. The results show that many students still use their mother tongue when communicating with teachers, although some have shown partial proficiency in Indonesian, but still mix it with mother tongue.
Conclusion Observation was the method that influenced the findings of this study, as it allowed the researcher to directly observe the students' use of language during the learning process.
