Childhood Friendship: Its importance and the Educator’s Role.
Authors: Taylor Jane , Townsend Michael
Published: February 2022

Most of us intrinsically understand the importance of friendship in our lives, and although we may not spend time considering it, we are aware it is beneficial to our happiness and well-being. As educators, we are often conscious of the friendships that exist in our classrooms, and are particularly mindful of those students who have difficulties making friends. This literature review examines the reasons why friendship is so important to us, and in particular, to the well-being of our children. Furthermore, it highlights ways that we can meet our responsibilities as educators to support New Zealand students in developing and maintaining friendships.
Moving Experiences: Reframing and Reclaiming Physical Education in New Zealand Primary Schools.
Authors: Jackson Graeme
Published: February 2022

Physical education (PE) is often perceived as a learning area of lesser importance than others, for instance literacy and numeracy. Arguments for raising its status and gaining a greater share in the school day founder on uncertainty as to just what is educational about it, and on the view that really it is no more than skill acquisition and improving fitness with a few games thrown in. The majority of teachers tasked with teaching it in New Zealand primary schools may have had very little or no specialist preparation in PE theory and pedagogy. It is increasingly being left to outside providers to step into the breech. This paper outlines a way of reframing PE that widens its scope and potential for learning, makes PE teaching much more accessible to teachers who do not see themselves as experts in this area, and may enable teachers of all levels and expertise to explore and enrich the PE experience of their students. This approach is summarised as going beyond skills and fitness. It is unpacked and located in relation to existing pedagogical approaches before recounting how it was enacted with several cohorts of initial teacher education students in a New Zealand university. Readers may find useful the table of PE activities and how they can be invigorated within creative and diverse contexts. This is a practice paper, and is designed to appeal to the demand of busy teachers for examples of the theory in action. But it is also a call for teachers to reflect on those practices, and in particular the implications of large scale abdication of teaching to non-professionals.

Ecological practice: Illustrations from educational psychology in New Zealand.
Authors: Annan Jean
Published: February 2022

Educational psychologists in most parts of the world report that they take ecological approaches to their work. But what does working ecologically mean? How do we recogniseecological practice? This article discusses some salient aspects of the practice of psychologists who say they work ecologically. The first section of the paper presents a global perspective oncurrent practice, considering critical points of the journey of educational psychology from its inception to the present day. This brief history highlights important features of currentpractice by contrasting them with previous ways of working. It makes reference to a selected number of the many theories that have influenced the progression of educationalpsychology. The history is followed by more detailed discussion of the particular theory currently emphasised in educational psychology literature. This discussion is builtaround four emerging themes in ecological practice:1. Multi-systemic units of analysis.2. Collaboration in multiple relationships.3. Supportive learning environments.4. Evidence-based practice.To illustrate the practical application of each of these elements, the article refers to examples of New Zealand practice in which the ecological themes are evident.

Getting Things to Stick: Exploring the narratives of young New Zealanders who experience specific learning difficulties.
Authors: Marshall Sheryn , Hocking Clare , Wilson Jan
Published: February 2022

This narrative inquiry sought to explore the views of eight young New Zealanders, aged nine to14 years, who had experienced specific difficulties with learning. Narrative research procedures were used to gather and interpret the stories the young participants told about their experiences. Findings revealed that young people become aware of their own learning difficulties and need to understand why they experience problems. The study also found thatthis understanding is developed in relationship to the information and support offered by knowledgeable adults, who understand that it is possible to be intellectually competent yet have trouble learning numeracy and literacy skills. Furthermore, it was found that by identifyingthemselves in roles in which they experience competency, young people express a more positive and holistic identity than that of being “learning disabled”. Opportunities toachieve mastery in activities they enjoy doing enables young people to develop innate abilities, which underpin a positive sense of identity and well-being and are likely to provide a link to success in adult life.

Narrative psychology: A tool for ecological practice
Authors: Annan Jean , Priestley Anna , Phillipson Roger
Published: February 2022

This article suggests that while educational psychology espouses an ecological view of human development, the implementation of practices that reflect this perspective has often been obstructed. In many circumstances, practices that attribute problems to individuals, or groups of individuals, continue. These contrast with ecological practices that position problems in the interaction between people with various needs and their particular worlds. The article suggests that many educational and community systems operate to maintain individual-centred practices and that many tools currently available to educational psychologists were developed for more traditional approaches. Narrative inquiry is recommended in this article as one available toolthat supports ecological practice. The article, presented in two parts, discusses the shared theoretical foundations of ecological practice and narrative inquiry. It illustrates one way in which narrative inquiry integrates with familiar patterns of practice in educational psychology. The narrative approach to psychology is presented here as a way of thinking and talking about practice rather than as a therapy or a method of scientific research.

Becoming Educultural: Te whakawhitinga o nga matauranga.
Authors: Macfarlane Angus
Published: February 2022

In every profession, there comes a time when it is important to stop and evaluate the progress that has been made and to determine the changes that will be necessary to engage in new times and to meet new demands, The profession of tertiary education is no exception. In a period of rapid change many solutions are offered about what it takes to sustain effort in order to achieve success. Some of these solutions - for the acquisition of quality in education- insist on precision, rigor, consistency, and replicability. This paper purports that such qualities are of high value, yet appear incomplete if certain sociocultural elements are not taken into account. It is argued that we might better unravel our perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs about education, when we draw from the historical and social contexts that have affected our worldview. These historical and social contexts might well be the tools that help to shape the values of learning, referred to in this paper as becoming educultural.
Fairer to fathers. The role of schools in fostering positive fatherhood - a United Kingdon perspective.
Authors: Carpenter Barry
Published: February 2022

Fatherhood in this 21st century is changing. There is wider societal recognition that, for the sake of our children, we need to value fathers and the contribution they make to family life, In the United Kingdom, various initiatives are actively supporting Dads' in their role. For fathers of children with disabilities, there are even greater challenges to their fatherhood. This article reviews ways in which fathers of children with disabilities have traditionally been viewed. It asks schools to reflect on ways in which they engage fathers, and makes specific reference to the new UK report (chaired by the author) on Recognising Fathers (Foundation for People with Learning Disabilities, 2006).

Text-bullying among early adolescents.
Authors: Raskauskas Juliana
Published: February 2022

Increased availability of cell-phones has provided new avenues through which adolescents can bully their peers. Text-bullying is an emerging form of bullying which may threaten the emotional well-being of early adolescents. In this study 565 early adolescents (10-13 years old) completed questionnaires regarding their experiences with bullying (text-message and traditional) and measures of depression and self-esteem. Findings were that: (a) 15% of early adolescents had been text-bullied in the current school year: (b) victims of text-bullying reported more depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem than non-victims, and (c) victims who experienced both traditional and text-bullying in the current school year report more depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem than those not involved or those who were bullied only at school Text-bullying may add to negative outcomes suffered by victims of traditional forms of bullying.

He Hui Whakatika. Culturally responsive, self determining interventions for restoring harmony.
Authors: Bateman Sonja , Berryman Mere
Published: February 2022

The time has come for kaupapa Maori ideology and epistemology to move from the margins and claim legitimate space within the discipline of education. Kaupapa Maori ideology provides a dynamic framework within which Maori are better able to make meaning of the world and work for change. Increasingly, kaupapa Maori is being used to inform policies and practices across a range of sectors and initiatives. Research carried out by Bevan-Brown and Bevan-Brown (1999), indicates that for special educational policies and practices to be more responsive to and effective for Maori, there is a need to incorporate Maori values and philosophies.Bishop (1996a) contends that the solutions for Maori do not reside within the culture that has traditionally marginalised Maori; rather, the solutions are located within Maori cultureitself. An example of one such solution is the hui whakatika process (Hooper, Winslad, Drewery, Monk & Macfarlane, 1999), a process which is underpinned by traditional Maori concepts of discipline, and one which is able to be likened to more recent and contemporary notions of restorative justice. This paper highlights the role of a kaitakawaenga as he works collaboratively with whanau members to seek resolution and restore harmony by facilitating a hui whakatika process.
The incredible years training programme in Tauranga. A research summary.
Authors: Hamilton Michelle , Litterick-Biggs Angela
Published: February 2022

The Incredible Years parent training programme is a research-based therapy which aims to help families improve the behavior of children with conduct difficulties in the early years, while the behaviour is malleable (Webster-Stratton & Reid, 2003). The short-term goals of the programme are to reduce conduct problems in children by increasing parental competence and strengthening families (Webster-Stratton, 2000). The programme was developed by the University of Washington's Parenting Clinic, USA and was introduced to the Tauranga community in 2002, via the research of Lees (2003). Due to the success of the programmetrialled in Lees' research, it was rapidly embraced by agencies and community organisations.
Hamilton's (2005) research is summarised if this article and was inspired by the rapid expansion of, and enthusiasm for, the Incredible Years parent training programme in Tauranga.Rather than following participants experiences within the programme, the researcher interviewed the facilitators. The perspective taken was that most of the programmefacilitators are highly qualified psychologists and social workers who collectively have an enormous amount of knowledge, experience and insight. The researcher captured the observations and insights of the facilitators who, from their experience working with the programme, made valuable contributions to the identification of the barriers to the programme's success in Tauranga, the appropriateness of this empirically supported manual-based therapy in New Zealand's bicultural environment, and the value of the programme itself. The Incredible Years parent training programme was found to be highly successful in Taurangaas it provided a supportive group environment in which parents could share concerns and ideas, and it was adaptable to different cultural and individual needs
Working together. An occupational therapy perspective on collaborative consulation.
Authors: Hasselbusch Andrea , Penman Merrolee
Published: February 2022

The focus of this study was to explore the occupational therapy consultation process used with students on the autistic spectrum attending their regular school. Individual, in-depth interviews with senior occupational therapists were employed to collect the data. Grounded theory(Glaser & Strauss, 1967; Strauss, 1987; Strauss & Corbin, 1998), a qualitative research methodology, was used to develop a high-level description and conceptual ordering as an initial step towards developing a consultation model. Constant comparative analysis of the data revealed three interactive and interdependent processes, Joining Up, Finding A Way and Walking and Talking. These processes often occur simultaneously and greatly influence each other. The central concept was identified as Working Together, which highlights the collaborative nature of the consultation process. The context of the inclusive education environment requires a strong ecological approach as an essential aspect of therapists' practice. The consultation process described uses occupational therapists' day-to-day experience and is grounded within the inclusive education setting in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Cemented Versus Noncemented Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes
Authors: Stavrakis Alexandra , Arshi Armin , Chiou Daniel , Hsiue Peter , Horneff John Gabriel , Photopoulos Christos
Published: February 2022

Introduction:

Aseptic loosening remains one of the most common indications for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Given the demographic shift to a younger and more active TKA patient population, some surgeons have revisited noncemented fixation given its potential for lower rates of long-term aseptic loosening. The purpose of this study was to compare the demographics and complications between patients undergoing noncemented and cemented TKA.

Methods:

Using the MKnee subset of the PearlDiver database, diagnosis and procedure codes were used to identify patients who had undergone cemented or noncemented TKA for osteoarthritis with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Propensity score matching was done to compare risk-adjusted medical and surgical complication profiles at 90 days, 1 year, and 2 years.

Results:

Of 203,574 patients identified, 3.2% underwent noncemented TKA and 96.8% underwent cemented TKA. Using propensity-matched analysis, there was no difference in 90-day medical complications. Noncemented TKA was associated with a greater risk of periprosthetic joint infection throughout the study (90-day odds ratio [OR] 1.34, 1-year OR 1.27, 2-year OR 1.27, P < 0.05). Noncemented TKA was associated with a greater risk of periprosthetic fracture at 1 year and 2 years (1 year OR 2.19, 2 years OR 1.89, P < 0.05). No notable difference was observed in risk of aseptic loosening between the two groups.

Discussion:

Noncemented TKA is associated with a higher rate of periprosthetic joint infection and periprosthetic fracture. Additional studies are needed to compare long-term rates of aseptic loosening between noncemented and cemented TKA.

Introducción. La reanimación cardiopulmonar en los últimos años se ha enfocado en la calidad como aspecto fundamental para mejorar con una adecuada condición neurológica la supervivencia, por lo que la simulación clínica se ha convertido en una herramienta fundamental para trabajar esas destrezas. Materiales y métodos.Se midieron los indicadores de calidad de la RCP por medio del dispositivo de retroalimentación para someter a un equipo prehospitalario a seis escenarios con compresiones torácicas manuales, mecánicas, dispositivo básico y avanzado de la vía aérea, y la implementación de la metodología pit crew y en cada uno de ellos. Resultados. En el escenario, donde se efectuaron  compresiones manuales con ventilación con dispositivo avanzado, la media de ventilaciones fue  de 7.61 (DE ± 4.53) por lo que se ventiló hasta 12 veces por minuto. Existe una relación estadística en la frecuencia de compresiones torácicas al utilizar un metrónomo, así  el grupo del metrónomo obtuvo una mediana de 104 (DE 13.9),  que fue mayor que la del grupo sin metrónomo de 95,6 (DE 13.16), t (gl) 2,  p valor 0,0025, delta cohen 0,63. El escenario donde se obtuvo mayor FCT fue el que utilizó la metodología pit crew ; por otra parte, los escenarios que usaron el dispositivo de compresiones torácicas mostraron el mayor porcentaje de compresiones adecuadas con 87 %  Conclusiones  Se demostró que el uso de un metrónomo mejora el cumplimiento de la frecuencia de compresión.  Las metodologías enfocadas en la calidad como pit crew demostraron su potencial para obtener una FCT muy alta y los dispositivos mecánicos para las compresiones proveen mayor calidad en profundidad, re expansión y frecuencia, sin embargo, para mejorar la FCT no se necesita este tipo de dispositivos. Se plantea un reto a los equipos de reanimación y para futuras investigaciones para lograr combinar los beneficios de las compresiones mecánicas y la metodología pit crew.

The influence of country of origin effect on export marketing performance in the cotton industry of Zimbabwe
Authors: Wilbert Manyanga , Patricia Ruzvidzo , Tendai Manyanga
Published: February 2022

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the influence of country of origin effect on export marketing performance in the cotton industry of Zimbabwe. Specific variables studied were brand image, customer attitude, customer product evaluation and export market performance. There is little research on the influence of country of origin effect on export marketing performance in the cotton industry of Zimbabwe, hence, the need to carry out this study. The research was conducted through a survey where pre-coded structured questionnaires were administered to respondents from the 5 cotton trading companies. A total of 80 questionnaires were sent to the respondents in the cotton industry. The main data analysis method used was factor analysis using inferential statistics which are total variance explained and rotated component matrix. Hypotheses were tested using one sample T test. Cronbach’s alpha proved that the data obtained from the sample was adequate and reliable. Results from the study showed that cotton buyers consider the image of the country when evaluating products; Despite country image organizations prefer cotton lint from Zimbabwe; A positive word of mouth is spread about cotton lint from Zimbabwe; I have or would recommend Zimbabwean produced lint to other organisations; Your organizational perception of a country portrays the reputation of organisations within that country; There will always be continuous purchase of cotton lint from Zimbabwe; There is guarantee you would recommend lint from Zimbabwe. The study brought significant contribution in understanding the concept of country of origin effect in the cotton industry. The study recommended that brand image can be made positive by organizations through unique marketing strategies which can separate the perception customers have about a country to the image of the product; Organizations must ensure customer attitude is positive about the organization; The product must be of high quality so that cotton lint from can be competitive on the global market. Beside the findings, this study had limitations, including a smaller sample size. So, future studies can be done researching the same topic but using a sample which is bigger in size and a geographical delimitation which is wider.
TINJAUAN ALKITABIAH ATAS KRISIS EKONOMI GLOBAL
Authors: Sirait Hikman , Romika
Published: February 2022

This purpose research be explore social reality based on actual problems. The method used is a qualitative descriptive method that is supported by historical methods. The results showed that the economic crisis during the Old Testament and the New Testament which was triggered by moral damage cannot be separated from the social structure of society at that time. The exploitation of the poor has become a common sight in the Ancient Near East including among the Hebrews. Rich people can't afford to buy other people's money. It was very apparent in the economic crisis, the chosen group took advantage of fellow Hebrew brothers. While the Law of Exodus and Holiness took loans given to the poor Hebrews asking for interest (Ex. 22:25; Lev. 25:37) and the rich Hebrews supported the lives of their poor fellow countrymen (Leviticus 25:35 -36 ). These two laws are guidelines for God's people who must be opposed and behave, that is, helping and arguing with one another (Matt. 18: 23-35; 1 John 4:11). The conclusion of the global economic crisis occurred because people of this age began to use a pattern that was used in the days of the Old Testament and the New Testament, namely the greedy nature that is more moral to build humans in developed countries. Morality is no longer a benchmark in carrying out economic activities, but is materialistic or obtaining wealth, and earns the maximum profit without considering the interests and needs of developing countries and poor countries.
The role of Sheikh Razai Talabani in construction of Sexual discourse in the poems
Authors: Ahmad Muhammad Rashid Meera
Published: February 2022

This paper is entitled “The role of Sheikh Razai Talabani in construction of Sexual discourse in the poems”. It is obvious that dealing with these topics in Kurdish literature, with its difficulty, is new and has different dimensions. That is why the researcher tried to approach the interpretation of the poems cautiously.
 In general, the interpretation of the concept of discourse and sexual discourse in literature are dealt with in the paper. Later, both concepts are described from the linguistic and lexical point of view. Moreover, the relationships between “sex and the body”, “sex and lust”, and “sex and love” are shown. Then, the reasons for the existence of these discourses in literature are clarified. In addition, the dimensions of sexual discourse in the experience of Sheikh Razai Talabani’s poetry are illustrated, especially the role of the body in building and forming this type of discourse. Furthermore, the differentiation between the two genders, male and female, is indicated within the framework of this type of discourse. Finally, the difference between satire and sexual discourse in the poetic experience of Sheikh Razai Talabani is explained and adequate poetic evidence is provided.

In autumn the highest seasonal fluctuations were recorded, especially in September which the ratio was not less than (300%), and the lowest ratio was recorded in winter.

This fluctuation leads to the creation of many rainfall models in the area, in which (dry model) in (1999-2000) and (2007-2008), and (humid model) in (1984-1985) regarded as (extreme models), as a result, this fluctuation had obvious effects on the physical environments of the studied area especially the drought phenomenon, which the amount of water surpluses and deficit were changed with a change of the annual amount of rainfall, as well as the climate condition was between the (semi-humid) and (semi-dry) based on De Martonne's law for four climatic cycles, either hydrological drought has intensified, the amount of surface water (water imports to Sirwan river) and ground water (water leakage) was changed from a cycle to another, in the humid model (1984-1985) the amount of leaked water was (697.5 million m3), but in the dry model (2007-2008) it was (122.3 million m3), also the area of Hamrin lake was decreased of about (46%) in the fourth cycle compared with the second cycle.
A Representation of the Kurdish History in Two Greek and Turkish Websites: A Critical Discourse Analysis-Based Study
Authors: Shaho Burhan Abdalla  , Srood Taha Ali
Published: February 2022

Political states attempt to disseminate ideologies that are in line with their domestic and foreign policies. They use language as a powerful tool to achieve their goal since language is not free from ideologies and by using it in various texts they aim to construct certain social, political and cultural institutions to back their policies and to suggest people think in ways they want. Turkey has been highly sensitive to Middle Eastern issues, specifically to those related to the Kurdish cause. This paper, based on critical discourse analysis (CDA), analyzes the discursive moves employed by English-language Turkish Hurriyet Daily News and Greek City Times websites regarding the recent addition of a lesson about the Kurds, their history and homeland to the history and geography book in French high school curriculum.

As coming to Vietnamese culture, it refers to the culture of agriculture. Every country has agriculture, but the culture of agriculture is only in some Asian countries, including Vietnam. In the soul of the Vietnamese is always a pure soul and pure. In recent decades it seems that people are trying to change this with the "industrialization and modernization" movement, trying to force the Vietnamese people instead of using the advantages of cultivation, breeding become workers. When Vietnamese people's strengths are not used and promoted, they have to try or be forced to use their weakness. Thus, the failure is almost inevitable. In Vietnam, the importance of an industry or group of industries is usually measured by the share of the value added of the industry (or group of industries) in GDP. This can lead to misunderstandings about the importance of that sectors group, So, this study examines the change in the interactions between agriculture, forestry and fisheries with other sectors of the economy based on the structure of the 2012 and 2016 Input Output (I/O) tables of Vietnam.

Published: February 2022

Objective: To determine the accuracy of ultrasound in predicting difficult laproscopic cholecystectomy,keeping preoperative findings as gold standard.
Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted from July 2018 to January 2019 at Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences Islamabad. Adult patients wih cholelithiasis were included in the study by consecutive sampling, who underwent laproscopic cholecystectomy. Preoperative ultrasound parameters such as gallbladder wall thickness, size and number of gall stones, contracted gall bladder and pericholecystic fluid were studied. Intraoperative difficulty of laproscopic cholecystectomy was determined by criteria as procedure time more than 60 minutes, dissection at Calot's triangle more than 30 minutes and tear of gall bladder 
Results: A total of 150 patients were included with mean age of 41.4 ± 9.9 years . There were 29 (19.3%) males and 121 (80.7%) were female. Male to Female ratio was 1:4, preoperative ultrasonography findings such as gallbladder wall thickness > 4mm ,size of stone >1cm impacted gall stone , contracted gallbladder and presence of pericholicystic fluid were significantly associated with difficult laproscopic cholycytectomy (p value=0.001)
Conclusion: In majority of patients, preoperative ultrasonography is found as good predictor of difficult laproscopic cholycystectomy and should be used as a screening procedures.

Published: February 2022

Objective: To assess the anti-depressant and anxiolytic effect of tramadol as compared to imipramine (approved antidepressant) in acute and chronic doses in rats.Methodology: This observational experimental animal study was carried out from December 2020 to February 2021 at Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS) Jamshoro in collaboration with Agricultural University, Tandojam. Forty- eight healthy male rats housed at Animal House Sindh, Agricultural University, Tandojam after due approval from institutional ethical review board. The 48 rats were categorized into 3 equal groups of 16 each: Group A for Normal saline (0.9% NaCl) 15ml/kg, Group B for Imipramine 15 mg/kg and Group C for Tramadol 15 mg/kg. Each group was further subdivided into two groups namely acute A1, B1, C1 and chronic A2, B2, C2 and evaluated for anti-depressant and anxiety activity using forced swim test and elevated plus maze test. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS. 22.0.Results: Tramadol acted to significantly reduce the mean duration of immobility as compared to the control (P<0.001). Resolution of immobility due to tramadol was insignificant when compared to imipramine. Likewise, the swimming periods in the tramadol and imipramine groups were significantly longer than the control group (<0.001), but almost equal in both tramadol and imipramine groups, showcasing that tramadol has antidepressant activity at par with imipramine (p value >0.05).Conclusion: Tramadol exhibits significant acute and chronic antidepressant and anxiolytic effects in rats when compared to imipramine and controls.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. It is essential to find the best strategy and solution as soon as possible. Many therapies such as targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy and stem cell therapy are used to treat cancer with new strategies. Still, we need a more advanced strategy to treat it. The use of bacteria in cancer treatment is a new approach. Bacteria can be used as a therapeutic agent. They are used to deliver a nanoparticle to a specific targeted site. The more important thing is that encapsulated bacteria can protect themselves as well as help to reach nanoparticle to its target successfully. Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) can sense the nutrients and reach there with the help of flagella; it can swim easily through the vascular system. If the nutrient uptake capacity of MTB is increased, it can sense nutrient and attract to the cancer site. The use of MTB with our hypothesis will be the best strategy to treat cancer disease. MTB can be monitored externally with the help of magnetic field. The present review article summarizes the use of MTB as a therapeutic agent and comments on prevention of a cancer.

Retóricas del meme masculinista. Universidad digital y antifeminismo en tiempos de pandemia
Authors: Zabalgoitia Mauricio
Published: February 2022

En este trabajo se parte del repunte y visibilización de violencias sexistas por motivo de la pandemia por la COVID-19 en México. En esta línea, se apunta al confinamiento de las relaciones, planteándose una universidad digital en cuyas interacciones crecen expresiones de ciberviolencia y antifeminismo. Este escenario es confrontado con el orden de género vigente, referido al reciente activismo de jóvenes feministas y a los debates producto de la discusión sobre masculinidades, apuntándose a nuevas subjetividades dentro de un extremo masculinista. Con esto, se teoriza una aceleración de tal radicalismo, mirando a cuestiones como la “manosfera”, la replicación de sus afectos en interacciones digitales de estudiantes universitarios, y al ejercicio de una tropología basada en la comunicación mediante memes, la cual conforma una particular retórica. Finalmente, se analizan memes publicados por estudiantes en grupos dentro de esta esfera y en el ámbito pandémico.
