Potential Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Public Perception of Water Pipes on Reddit: Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Zheng Zihe , Xie Zidian , Goniewicz Maciej , Rahman Irfan , Li Dongmei
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Socializing is one of the main motivations for water pipe smoking. Restrictions on social gatherings during the COVID-19 pandemic might have influenced water pipe smokers’ behaviors. As one of the most popular social media platforms, Reddit has been used to study public opinions and user experiences.

OBJECTIVE

In this study, we aimed to examine the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on public perception and discussion of water pipe tobacco smoking using Reddit data.

METHODS

We collected Reddit posts between December 1, 2018, and June 30, 2021, from a Reddit archive (PushShift) using keywords such as “waterpipe,” “hookah,” and “shisha.” We examined the temporal trend in Reddit posts mentioning water pipes and different locations (such as homes and lounges or bars). The temporal trend was further tested using interrupted time series analysis. Sentiment analysis was performed to study the change in sentiment of water pipe–related posts before and during the pandemic. Topic modeling using latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) was used to examine major topics discussed in water pipe–related posts before and during the pandemic.

RESULTS

A total of 45,765 nonpromotion water pipe–related Reddit posts were collected and used for data analysis. We found that the weekly number of Reddit posts mentioning water pipes significantly increased at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (P<.001), and gradually decreased afterward (P<.001). In contrast, Reddit posts mentioning water pipes and lounges or bars showed an opposite trend. Compared to the period before the COVID-19 pandemic, the average number of Reddit posts mentioning lounges or bars was lower at the beginning of the pandemic but gradually increased afterward, while the average number of Reddit posts mentioning the word “home” remained similar during the COVID-19 pandemic (P=.29). While water pipe–related posts with a positive sentiment were dominant (12,526/21,182, 59.14% before the pandemic; 14,686/24,583, 59.74% after the pandemic), there was no change in the proportion of water pipe–related posts with different sentiments before and during the pandemic (P=.19, P=.26, and P=.65 for positive, negative, and neutral posts, respectively). Most topics related to water pipes on Reddit were similar before and during the pandemic. There were more discussions about the opening and closing of hookah lounges or bars during the pandemic.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides a first evaluation of the possible impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public perceptions of and discussions about water pipes on Reddit.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Assessment of data appropriateness is a top priority before conducting real world studies (RWS). However, this evaluation on electronic health records (EHRs) from hospitals in developing regions has been long-term overlooked.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to preliminarily assess whether EHRs from hospitals in a developing region in China were appropriate enough to meet RWS purposes.

METHODS

All secondary and tertiary hospitals (n = 28) in Fuzhou, Jiangxi province, China, were recruited. Through face-to-face interviews with chief administrators of hospital EHR systems, the assessment was conducted via semi-quantitative questionnaire to evaluate three dimensions of EHR appropriateness (coverage, consistency, accessibility). Coverage and consistency were measured using 80 core variables compared with two well-established common data models (CDMs), the former focusing on the existence of relevant variables in targeted databases and the latter on data structuring, data types and standardized coding systems. Accessibility was measured by willingness to data sharing.

RESULTS

Structured EHRs restoration was accomplished in at least 15 hospitals. Variables on drug exposure were the least covered (of 75.0% databases), structured (of 53.6% databases), relatively inconsistent in data types (of 10.7-75.0% databases) and standardized coding systems (of 7.1% databases). Low willingness to data sharing was responded among 64.3% of local hospitals, over 50.0% due to administrative concerns.

CONCLUSIONS

EHR databases from hospitals in the developing region showed favorable coverage of potentially relevant variables for RWS. However, poor consistency, including data structuring, data type and data coding on the preliminary level of variables, and low willingness to share data challenged RWD application.
Social network interventions for health behaviors and outcomes: health promotion and intervention to improve sleep quality (Preprint)
Authors: Caballero Evelyn , Brito-Rhor María Dolores
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Using social networks in health promotion makes it possible to eliminate physical boundaries and minimize barriers to accessing support resources to improve health. This is a great alternative to promote the creation of support networks and encourage health promotion regardless of geographic location.

OBJECTIVE

In a pandemic-stricken world, more than 58% of people are dissatisfied with their sleep quality. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of social media interventions in changing sleep hygiene behavior.

METHODS

A one-group pretest-posttest design was used through a Facebook Group Community and under the modality of a ´9-week health challenge´. All subjects completed a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire before and after the intervention, wrote a sleep diary, joined a WhatsApp group, and attended two live online presentations with a nutritionist and a neurologist.

RESULTS

Baseline PSQI ranged from 6 to 10 (55% of participants, mean=6.09), and after-intervention PSQI ranged from 1 to 5 (58% of participants, mean=4.47). The mean difference was statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONS

The study showed a potential improvement in sleep quality through a 9-week social-media-based intervention.

Published: July 2022

Aim:
To estimate the costs and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients based on the use of mobile cardiac outpatient telemetry (MCOT) monitoring.
Materials & methods:
A retrospective database study was conducted to estimate costs, contribution margins (CMs), pacemaker insertions and other outcomes for patients undergoing TAVR procedures with MCOT monitoring post-procedure versus non-MCOT monitoring.
Results:
A total of 4164 patients were identified (283 MCOT monitoring and 3881 non-MCOT monitoring). The rate of pacemaker insertion following hospital discharge was higher in the MCOT cohort (6.6 MCOT vs 2.1% non-MCOT; p = 0.007). MCOT use was associated with lower costs and improved CMs of the index TAVR admission (costs: US$40,569 MCOT vs $43,289 non-MCOT; p = 0.003; CMs: US$7087 MCOT vs $5177 non-MCOT; p = 0.047) with no difference through the subsequent 60-day period following discharge.
Conclusion:
MCOT for ambulatory cardiac monitoring post-TAVR discharge is associated with higher rates of pacemaker insertion, at no overall greater costs.

Published: July 2022

Abstract: Video analytics for detecting events using machine learning is designed and developed to analyze and detect patterns in the videos. Especially in the field of criminal forensics where a video needs to be analyzed to find out what abnormal events are happening in it and who caused it and how it was caused. This is an easy task for a human as they can recognize criminal events easily but not machines. The objective is to automatically detect the irregular events in videos like burglary, fighting, arson and explosion using a CNN model by preprocessing the videos into frames and extracting information from these frames and also to train the model so that it can also detect normal events. The results of this work shows that the model detects irregular events in videos with high accuracy

Published: July 2022

Abstract: Technical analysis in stock trading addresses the crucial matter of making optimal trading decisions promptly. Predicting directional movement in the target market using technical indicators is quite common. Besides its many other applications, machine learning helps to solve the algorithmic trading problem of determining optimal trading positions, and some types of deep neural networks have been proven as up-and-coming methods for forecasting the returns of the stock market. The current work presents the idea of training a neural network on a new trading strategy, named, Unified Trading Strategy (UTS) that integrates technical indicators from three well-known categories referred to as leading, lagging, and volatility. The trained network serves as an excellent alternative to the classical technical analysis model by simplifying the process of finding potential events of effective trade with better performance and reusability.
Image Description Generator using Deep Learning
Authors: Ksheerasagar Deepak R
Published: July 2022

Abstract: To recognise the context of an image and describe it in a natural language like English, the fundamental task of creating image captions uses computer vision and natural language processing techniques. To create a natural language description from an input image, image caption generation is used. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) model are the two parts of this Python project that are used to implement it. The CNN-LSTM architecture combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which creates features that describe the images, with a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), a type of Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), which precisely structures meaningful sentences out of the generated data. The ability to automatically describe an image's content has a variety of uses, including helping visually impaired people better understand the content of images and providing more precise and condensed image information for social media

Tracing the roots of Muhammadiyah thought on the concepts of Dār Al-‘Ahdi Wa Al-Syahādah
Authors: Yuli Isdiyanto Ilham , Muhammadi Fauzan , Fahmiddin Umair
Published: July 2022

This paper aimed to discuss the concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah initiated by Muhammadiyah, which requires strong historical-normative legitimacy, so it does not necessarily lose its genealogy to be applied to the legal and constitutional system in Indonesia. The big question is how is the relationship between historical aspects and the concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah so that it has strong foundations to be implemented later in the state and nation. This normative-conceptual research is a historical reflective study that focuses on literacy aspects as the basis to build normative and conceptual constructions. The result reveals that the idea of ​​Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah in the constellation of Pancasila is a strategy to realize Baldatun Thayyibatun wa Rabbun Ghafur state with the principle of Amar Ma’ruf Nahi Munkar. The concept of Dār Al-’Ahd Wa Al-Syahādah has a reference in Al Maun Theology which from the beginning became the basis of the movement pioneered by KH Ahmad Dahlan. Therefore, this strategy must be directed to a more concrete form and a more concrete movement to realize Baldatun Thayyibatun wa Rabbun Ghafur state.

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a(s) influência(s) que uma sequência de ensino, elaborada com base na criatividade matemática, pode trazer para as resoluções dadas por estudantes em situações de comparação multiplicativa com a relação desconhecida. Para tanto, apoiamo-nos na Teoria dos Campos Conceituais, especificamente sobre a Comparação Multiplicativa e nos preceitos da Criatividade Matemática. O estudo foi desenvolvido com oito estudantes de uma escola pública. Para a produção de dados trabalhamos com uma sequência de ensino contendo nove situações-problema do eixo Comparação Multiplicativa, mas, neste trabalho, analisamos as soluções dadas pelos estudantes em duas dessas situações, em que a relação é desconhecida. Os resultados apontam que os estudantes apresentam maior quantidade de soluções corretas nas situações cuja expressão é “vezes mais” e a operação mais utilizada foi a subtração, porém essa leva, em sua maioria, ao erro. Além disso, no que diz respeito as dimensões da criatividade matemática, a fluência é a dimensão em que mais se destaca quando comparada com a flexibilidade e originalidade.
QUESTIONING THE POSITION AND STATUS OF IBN TAIMIYYAH IN THE HANBALI SCHOOL OF THOUGHT
Authors: Fata Badrus Samsul , Imam Malik Riduan
Published: July 2022

For centuries, polemic over Ibnu Taimiyyah (661-728H) has generated cross-generational tension among supporters and opponents. Those supporters believed Ibn Taimiyyah to be ma'shum,surpassed Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal, and unilaterally ordained him as khatim al-mujtahidin. A claim which ignores Sunnis scholars’ epistemic criticism across the school of thought and generations, including a critical assessment of the internal Hanbali school of thought itself. Such as Ibn Rajab (736-795H); Ibn al-Mardawi (817-885H); Ibn Najjar (898-972H); al-Buhuti (1000-1051H); and al-Safaraini (1114-1188H). By employing the interdisciplinary approach to analyzing the primary sources, the result of the study revealed that one of the internal consensuses of the Hanbali school of thought is clear enough. When there is a dispute over the results of tarjihformulation in ushuland furu', the hierarchy of the referential authority is as the following; first,Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal; second, Ibnu Qudamah al-Maqdisi al-Hanbali; third,Al-Majd al-Din Abi al-Barakat al-Taimi; fourth,Ibn Muflih al-Hanbali; fifth,Ibnu Rajab al-Hanbali; sixth,Ibnu Hamdan al-Hanbali; seventh,Taqiyy al-Din Ibn Taimiyyah; and eighth,Ibn ‘Abdus al-Hanbali. Considering its various controversies, the leading scholars of the Hanbali school of thought positioned Ibn Taimiyyah in the seventh rank in the hierarchy of the school of thought's authority and emphasized that Ibn Taimiyyah was not the only one bearing the title of sheikh al-Islamwithin the Hanbali school of thought.
Explore or exploit? A model-based screening strategy for PETase secretion by Corynebacterium glutamicum

Published: July 2022

Extracellular production of target proteins simplifies downstream
processing due to obsolete cell disruption. However, optimal
combinations of a heterologous protein, suitable signal peptide and
secretion host can currently not be predicted, resulting in large strain
libraries that need to be tested. On the experimental side, this
challenge can be tackled by miniaturization, parallelization and
automation, which provide high-throughput screening data. These data
need to be condensed into a candidate ranking for decision making to
focus bioprocess development on the most promising candidates. We
screened for Bacillus subtilis signal peptides mediating Sec
secretion of two polyethylene terephthalate degrading enzymes (PETases),
leaf-branch compost cutinase (LCC) and polyester hydrolase (PE-H)
mutants, by Corynebacterium glutamicum. We developed a fully
automated screening process and constructed an accompanying Bayesian
statistical modeling framework, which we applied in screenings for
highest activity in 4-nitrophenyl palmitate degradation. In contrast to
classical evaluation methods, batch effects and biological errors are
taken into account and their uncertainty is quantified. Within only two
rounds of screening, the most suitable signal peptide was identified for
each PETase. Results from LCC secretion in microliter-scale cultivation
were shown to be scalable to laboratory-scale bioreactors. This work
demonstrates an experiment-modeling loop that can accelerate early-stage
screening in a way that experimental capacities are focused to the most
promising strain candidates. Combined with high-throughput cloning, this
paves the way for using large strain libraries of several hundreds of
strains in a Design-Build-Test-Learn approach.

Published: July 2022

Based on the analysis of morphological characteristics of the beak of
the cuttlefish Sepia pharaonic, computer graphics technology and state
of art 3-D modeling technology were used to reconstruct the 3-D model of
the beak. The light reflection principle of a 45° prism was used to
obtain a beak image containing five isometric views from different
angles after one shot. Then the software Photoshop CC was applied to
extract the external outline of the beak from the image respectively,
and the reference gallery was established. The ZBrush 2020 software had
been applied to sculpting the beaks as realistic as possible before
these digital 3-D assets were printed as an existing object. These
printed models were compared with their prototype beaks and that of big
fin reef squid to verify their accuracy. It required enough learning
cost to manipulate the state-of-art 3-D constructed software like
ZBrush. However, once a standardized model of the beak has been built,
it’s easy to refine and apply to species of cephalopod from different
types of habitat (pelagic, benthic, and demersal). The models can be
obtained quickly with lower cost compared with present underwater
photogrammetry and/or micro-CT scanning and have sufficient precision
for quantitative interspecific morphological analyses. The research can
provide new ideas and lay a foundation for the comparative morphology
analysis of the beak of different species, and also provides convenience
for marine biology visualization, and/or digital multimedia development.
Selective synthesis of a valuable unsaturated fatty alcohol via catalytic and non-catalytic liquid-phase methyl oleate reduction
Authors: Orrego Alejandro Vallejo , Ferretti Cristian , Díez Verónica
Published: July 2022

The upgrading of oleyl alcohol synthesis via methyl oleate reduction
using NaBH4 without H2 supply was investigated. It was possible to
synthesize selectively the valuable unsaturated fatty alcohol with high
yields. Non-catalytic and catalytic experiments were developed trying to
improve the low final oleyl alcohol yield previously obtained. The
effect of reaction temperature, methyl oleate/NaBH4 molar ratio and
properties of different catalysts on final oleyl alcohol yield was
analyzed. Thus, alumina-supported metal (M) catalysts (M = Fe, Ce, Mo)
were synthesized by impregnation at incipient wetness. The M/Al2O3
catalysts were characterized in their chemical, textural, structural and
acid-base properties using ICP, N2 physisorption, XRD and NH3 and CO2
TPD. During non-catalytic methyl oleate reduction final methyl oleate
conversion and oleyl alcohol yield of 94% were obtained using a methyl
oleate/NaBH4 molar ratio of 0.11 at 333 K. Catalytic activity of M/Al2O3
solids did not correlate with basic site number but increased as acid
site number and ionic potential of M cations increase. This suggests
that cations with high acid site number and polarizing power are the
ones that promote the polarization of the ester C=O and anion [BH4]-
bonds favoring de methyl oleate conversion. In addition, the reaction
mechanism for fatty acid methyl ester reduction was investigated from a
theoretical approach using Density Functional Theory method at
B3LYP/6-31++G(d,p) computational level. Results obtained during
theoretical calculations confirmed that the formation of reducing
alcoxyborohydride species is energetically favored and allowed to
understand the events at microscopic level involved in the reaction
mechanism.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the experience and perceptions of the collaborative team approach and how to support the needs of early childhood special education teachers and related service personnel to implement effective Individualized Educational Plans (IEPs). In this study, a focus group interview was conducted with six special education teachers working at national inclusive daycare centers and special education-related service personnel who have experience of collaborating with special education teachers while working at therapeutic institutions for young children with disabilities. The results demonstrate that nine upper categories and 18 lower categories were derived in the special education teachers’ group, and nine upper categories and 21 lower categories were derived in the related service personnel groups. In terms of the collaborative team approach, there was a difference in perception and experience of IEPs between both groups. With regard to IEP implementation, both groups had experienced difficulties with communication and support, while they expected each other to support their roles as information providers for the development of young children with disabilities. In addition, the results also highlighted that efforts are required to acknowledge each other’s expertise, building a cooperative network, and institutional improvement in order to implement a collaborative team approach. This study is meaningful because it not only identifies experiences and perceptions of collaborative team approaches between special early childhood education teachers and related service personnel for effective IEP implementation, but it also examines how to enhance the collaborative team approach and make improvements to practice and agreed education.

Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND

Adverse associations of low- and no-calorie sweetened beverages (LNCSB) with cardiometabolic outcomes in observational studies may be explained by reverse causality and residual confounding.

PURPOSE

To address these limitations we used change analyses of repeated measures of intake and substitution analyses to synthesize the association of LNCSB with cardiometabolic outcomes.

DATA SOURCES

MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched up to 10 June 2021 for prospective cohort studies with ≥1 year of follow-up duration in adults.

STUDY SELECTION

Outcomes included changes in clinical measures of adiposity, risk of overweight/obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease, and total mortality.

DATA EXTRACTION

Two independent reviewers extracted data, assessed study quality, and assessed certainty of evidence using GRADE. Data were pooled with a random-effects model and expressed as mean difference (MD) or risk ratio (RR) and 95% CI.

DATA SYNTHESIS

A total of 14 cohorts (416,830 participants) met the eligibility criteria. Increase in LNCSB intake was associated with lower weight (5 cohorts, 130,020 participants; MD −0.008 kg/year [95% CI −0.014, −0.002]). Substitution of LNCSB for sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) was associated with lower weight (three cohorts, 165,579 participants; MD, −0.12 [−0.14, −0.10,] kg/y) and lower incidence of obesity (OB) (one cohort, 15,765 participants; RR 0.88 [95% CI 0.88, 0.89]), coronary heart disease (six cohorts, 233,676 participants; 0.89 [0.81, 0.98]), cardiovascular disease mortality (one cohort, 118,363 participants; 0.95 [0.90, 0.99]), and total mortality (one cohort, 118,363 participants; 0.96 [0.94, 0.98]) with no adverse associations across other outcomes. Substitution of water for SSB showed lower weight (three cohorts, 165,579 participants; MD −0.10 kg/year [−0.13, −0.06]), lower waist circumference (one cohort, 173 participants; −2.71 cm/year [−4.27, −1.15]) and percent body fat (one cohort, 173 participants; −1.51% per year [−2.61, −0.42]), and lower incidence of OB (one cohort, 15,765 participants; RR 0.85 [0.75, 0.97]) and T2D (three cohorts, 281,855 participants; 0.96 [0.94, 0.98]). Substitution of LNCSB for water showed no adverse associations.

LIMITATIONS

The evidence was low to very low certainty owing to downgrades for imprecision, indirectness, and/or inconsistency.

CONCLUSIONS

LNCSB were not associated with cardiometabolic harm in analyses that model the exposure as change or substitutions. The available evidence provides some indication that LNCSB in their intended substitution for SSB may be associated with cardiometabolic benefit, comparable with the standard of care, water.
Seeing Things, Feeling Rhythm
Authors: Barbieri Daniele
Published: July 2022

This paper addresses some issues concerning a semiotic approach to rhythm, a phenomenon characterised by its background nature and, consequently, by the fact that it proposes itself while the viewer’s attention is focused on other phenomena and their significant nature. Starting from the comparticipation / cognition opposition, roughly superimposable to the known / new one, the rhythms are always placed on the first side. But comparticipation and cognition interact closely at various levels, and the same iterative structures can frequently access the foreground, however generating saturation effects, with the consequent tensions. While retaining the characteristics of rhythm, the ascent to the foreground completely transforms the role of repetition. In these pages we will discuss the modalities of this transformation, the requirements that allow repetition to be recognised as such, and the roles that rhythms play in different activities such as ritual, aesthetic contemplation, laughing and sexual activity.
An Essay on Rhythm
Authors: Tarasti Eero
Published: July 2022

Rhythm is a universal phenomenon : it appears on ontological level in the different theories of temporality ; on the other hand, it is an empirical phenomenon to be studied in diverse concrete cases. Rhythm appears either in the utterance (énoncé) or in the act of uttering (énonciation). If we apply this to music, it means that rhythm can be written down in the score, or manifested in the performance. Rhythm is a corporeal entity, a psychological reality, it is decisive in social manifestations like in various dances, and rhythm has aesthetics, it is a symbol. The article investigates a great number of cases, from the Viennese gemütlichkeit to the rubato (Bela Bartok), tarantella, scanzione incitativa (Gino Stefani), Kalevala and 5/4 meter, capoeira and batuque, i.e. rhythmic varieties in different cultures.

Published: July 2022

Following the idea of matrilineal generational slavery, the article seeks to understand the forms of conceptual constitution and the difficulties that the principle of partus sequitur ventrem encountered in regions with colonial slavery. We examine how the English, French, Spanish and Portuguese slavery systems were applied in the American continent and follow them up in the transformation and adaptation processes proper to the development of the technique of passing on slavery to children in America. We seek to show that the process faced difficulties which were perceived and overcome over time, contributing to the definitive abolition of the domination and ownership over the enslaved womb.
“Um tributo à memória de meu pai”
Authors: Alves Walquiria de Rezende Tofanelli
Published: July 2022

The article’s aim is to analyse the interpretations of Emilio Joaquim da Silva Maia (1808-1859) that marked the history of Brazil and Portugal. He was a doctor and naturalist, and one of the founders of Brazilian Historical and Geographical Institute. He never concealed his intention of keeping his father´s memory alive. In the 1840s, he not only edited and published his father´s posthumous writings, but also endeavoured to write his own version about the events that led to Brazil’s Independence. In the 1850s, Emilio Maia published a set of writings entitled Historical Studies on Portugal and Brazil in order to revive his father’s legacy, which had been forgotten and supplanted by memory and the historical writings that prevailed in Brazil following the country´s separation from Portugal. We examine the actions and trajectories of father and son in light of the dynamics between memory and oblivion and their political unfolding.

The aim of the article is to question the possibility of describing a judicial institution based on the way it organizes and awards medals, orders and honors created by the institution itself. The focus of our interest is to find out how the awarding process worked. We will discuss the rules behind the “Order of Judicial Merit” for Labor in Rio de Janeiro, the way the nominations were made, and, especially, who was honored. We examine the distribution of honors according to both their own hierarchy (there are four of them), and the relationship between them and other social markers such as gender, region, profession and belonging to the legal world.

Superficial peroneal nerve (SPN) is one of the terminal branches of the common peroneal nerve which innervates muscles of the lateral compartment of the leg. It is reported in literature in cadaveric studies, that there is anatomic variation of the SPN according to course and distribution and how important this finding is in many surgical interventions around leg, ankle, and foot, with scope to avoid iatrogenic damage of the respective nerve. The aim of this study is to present a woman of 67 years old who presented in emergency department after a fall with a bimalleolar fracture of the left ankle and paresthesia distribution of superficial peroneal nerve (dorsal surface of the foot, and 3rd to 5th toes) and based on this case to analyze if this anatomic variation of SPN has an essential role in lateral approach for internal fixation of lateral malleolar fractures.

Discovering Cartesian Dualism in the Women of the Indian Patriarchy the Great Indian Kitchen
Authors: Sidique AfreenMehnaz
Published: July 2022

Cartesian Dualism deals mainly with the double existence of man. It distinguishes the mind from the body. The women belonging to the Indian patriarchy are subject to Cartesian dualism. The Malayalam films, Sthreedhanam (1993) and The Great Indian Kitchen (2021), portrays a real picture of Indian Patriarchy. The central characters in both these films are women subjected to Cartesian dualism. They do not act according to their mind. They both try to sacrifice their own dreams and ambitions to make their married life successful. But it ends as a disaster. This research paper shows how Cartesian dualism reflected in the women of Indian patriarchy are subject of the movies made in both 20th and 21st century.
OBITUARY: Vale Robbie Robertson, a 'son of Fiji and the Pacific'
Authors: Narsey Wadan
Published: July 2022

While most University of the South Pacific academics were united in their opposition to the 1987 and 2000 coups in Fiji – and many of them suffered in various ways from the 1987 coup, the 2006 coup was divisive in that quite a few senior USP academics and former academics (mostly Indo-Fijian) gave tacit and active support to it, believing in coup leader Voreqe Bainimarama’s rhetoric of anti-corruption and racial equality for all in Fiji as his justification. The death of historian and prolific author and writer professor Robert Robertson has highlighted through his books, scholarship and academic activism the injustices inflicted by the coups and globalisation on academics, journalists and marginalised beginning with Fiji: Shattered Coups (1988), co-authored with his journalist partner Akosita Tamanisau. This essay profiles an academic who ‘planted deep roots, metaphorically and literally, in the DNA of Fiji and the Pacific.
Pandemic in the complexity of the Digital Era: How online media in Indonesia construct the reality of COVID-19
Authors: Wahyuni Hermin Indah , Fitrah Andi Awaluddin
Published: July 2022

This article aims to examine the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic constructed by online media outlets in Indonesia as one of the primary sources of information during the crisis. It uses qualitative content analysis to determine how online media in Indonesia construct the reality of COVID-19. The country’s eight most accessed online media websites are the objects of this study with a three-unit analysis: context, message and tone. The result shows that Indonesian media coverage has predominantly emphasised the pandemic’s political context over the health and economic context. Informants have predominantly been politicians; epidemiologists and scientists have been given little space. In this case, the media system in Indonesia through online news media were not able to play an optimal role in the early phases of the pandemic due to the tendency of this news construction.
Philippine journalists’ perspectives on press freedom: The impact of international media campaigns
Authors: Khan Rachel
Published: July 2022

Legally, press freedom in the Philippines is protected by the 1987 Constitution. However, media laws in the country, especially those referring to freedom of the expression and the press, tend to be inconsistent and volatile. In fact, the country continues to be low ranking in the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index. In response to attacks on press freedom, international media organisations have stepped up to defend and support the Philippine press. Drawing from data gathered through 20 semi-structured indepth interviews with Filipino journalists, this study sought to examine the effect of the government hostility against media on journalists’ perception of press freedom and their attitude towards interventions from international media organisations and coalitions. More specifically, it looks at the impact (or lack thereof) of global media coalitions and foreign media organisations in the country. Findings show that local media are appreciative of the support given by international media organisations in promoting media freedom in the country. However, journalists also noted that when only one segment of the media is targeted, it can lead to divisiveness among local media practitioners.

Voices from the New Zealand Wars. He Reo nō ngā pakanga o Aotearoa, by Vincent O’Malley. Wellington, NZ: Bridget Williams Books. 2021, 420 pages. ISBN 9781988587790.

HISTORY and journalism are two very closely linked art forms. Journalism has often been described as the first draft of history, especially war, although veteran BBC journalist John Simpson is credited with saying that it is more like some rough notes scribbled on the back of a napkin that is then thrown out of the window while the restaurant is under fire.
FRONTLINE 1: New Zealand’s 23-day Parliament siege: QAnon and how social media disinformation manufactured an ‘alternate reality’
Authors: Robie David
Published: July 2022

Fires burned across Aotearoa New Zealand’s Parliament grounds, and violent clashes broke out between protesters and police on the day the law enforcement officers moved to quell a 23-day anti-vaccination mandate siege of the House in February-March 2022 in scenes rarely witnessed in this country.  The riot climaxed a mounting campaign  of disinformation and hate speech on social media fuelled by conspiracy theorist New Zealand activist media such as Counterspin, which emulated their counterparts in the United States. Vitriolic death threats against political leaders and attacks on journalists and the media on an unprecedented scale were a feature of the protests. Anti-government messages were imported alongside white supremacist ideologies. Researchers have described the events as a ‘tectonic shift’ that will have a significant and lasting impact on Aotearoa New Zealand’s democratic institutions This article introduces three perspectives about the protests and disinformation ecology framed in the journal’s reflexive series Frontline.
