Itsik Manguer : la Bible revisitée par un poète yiddish troubadour
Authors: Tauber Michèle
Published: October 2023

S’inspirant à la fois de la tradition du midrash et de celle de la poésie yiddish médiévale, le poète yiddish Itsik Manguer (1901-1969) fait revivre les personnages bibliques dans deux recueils publiés respectivement en 1935 et 1936 : Di Humesh lider / Chants du Pentateuque et Di Meguilè lider / Chants de la Méguila (ou histoire d’Esther). Héritier à la fois de la tradition juive et d’une écriture poétique qu’il renouvelle, Manguer, par le biais du yiddish, invite l’époque biblique à pénétrer de plain-pied dans l’Europe orientale du début du XXe siècle, « éclairant le monde des anciens à la lumière, ou à l’ombre du monde moderne ». (Dov Sadan)
Brève histoire des Juifs en Roumanie
Authors: Iancu Carol
Published: October 2023

Cet article introductif au dossier ne prétend pas à l’exhaustivité et se contente de présenter brièvement cinq siècles de l’histoire des Juifs dans les divers territoires qui ont constitué la Roumanie. Les dates clés sont 1866, année où s’installe un nouveau régime, 1919 ou l’après Grande Guerre qui voit se former une Grande Roumanie (où les Juifs ont constitué du point de vue démographique la troisième communauté juive en Europe et la quatrième au monde), 1939-1944 ou les années tragiques de la Shoah, enfin la longue période de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle durant laquelle s’installe un régime communiste après quelques années de « transition ».Ce sont de longs siècles d’une histoire tourmentée. Durant les xixe et xxe siècles, les Juifs de Roumanie ont subi un antisémitisme ambiant de la part d’une partie de la population, qui les a longtemps considérés comme des étrangers, mais ils ont connu aussi un processus d’intégration contrarié par les mouvements d’extrême droite dans l’entre-deux-guerres. Frappés par une législation discriminatoire et meurtrière, ayant subi des massacres systématiques pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les Juifs survivants, marginalisés et discriminés pendant la période communiste, émigrent massivement vers l’État d’Israël.
Fernand Halphen, chef de musique au 13ème Régiment d’Infanterie Territoriale, un israélite dans la Grande Guerre
Authors: Schnapper Laure
Published: October 2023

Le cas de Fernand Halphen illustre de manière originale le patriotisme des israélites lors de la Grande Guerre. Héritier d'une riche famille parisienne, violoniste, compositeur et mécène, il n'hésita pas à mettre son savoir-faire de musicien au service de la France. Chargé de fonder et de diriger un orchestre d'harmonie régimentaire pendant deux ans et demi, il joua avec son orchestre un répertoire composé de marches, de musique légère et d'adaptations d'opéras à la mode, destiné à soutenir le moral de la population civile et des soldats blessés. Loin de dédaigner ce travail comme certains de ses collègues musiciens, très apprécié à la fois des musiciens de son orchestre et des officiers supérieurs, il travailla sans relâche, tout en trouvant le temps de composer deux mélodies, dont l'une – Les Tranchées – rend hommage aux poilus, avant de succomber à une maladie contractée pendant l'hiver 1916- 1917.
Les Juifs et la Guerre
Authors: Spire André , Delmaire Danielle
Published: October 2023

En 1917, paraît, chez Payot, un ouvrage du poète André Spire : Les Juifs et la Guerre. Il est rédigé en 1916 durant la bataille de Verdun mais avant les changements de l’année 1917 (entrée des USA en guerre, révolution bolchevique, déclaration Balfour, entrée des Britanniques à Jérusalem). Le livre est composé de deux parties : un développement suivi d’abondantes annexes. Dans le développement, André Spire apporte de nombreuses preuves du patriotisme des Juifs à l’égard de leur pays quel qu’il soit et s’indigne du sort qui est fait aux Juifs dans les pays d’Europe centrale et orientale. Il justifie donc la nécessité de militer pour le sionisme qui a pour but l’instauration d’un foyer national juif en Palestine.
Les combattants juifs roumains dans la Grande Guerre à travers les œuvres de Horia Carp et Liviu Rebreanu
Authors: Iancu Carol
Published: October 2023

À partir des histoires vraies, le journaliste et écrivain juif Horia Carp (1869-1943), décrit dans le recueil Du temps de l’oppression (1924), les injustices et les discriminations infligées aux combattants juifs dans l’armée roumaine, accusés en bloc d’être des espions et des déserteurs. Dans sa nouvelle Ițic Strul déserteur, Liviu Rebreanu (1885-1944), l’un des plus importants écrivains roumains du XXe siècle, présente à travers le suicide d’un soldat juif, victime de l’antisémitisme, le drame de l’allogène indésirable malgré sa loyauté.
Médias hébraïques et cultures juive. Origines, mutations et perspectives. Quelques réflexions et surtout des interrogations…
Authors: Kouts Gideon
Published: October 2023

L’histoire des médias et de la communication dans les sociétés juives et en Israël constitue un cas original dans l’histoire générale de la communication, essentiellement à cause de ses aspects religieux et diasporiques ainsi que de ses liens à la culture du Livre et à la langue hébraïque. L’article commence par la présentation des fondements de la communication juive dans le cadre de l’évolution générale de la tradition à la modernité. Puis, il offre un aperçu de l’évolution des systèmes de communication juive et l’essor des médias juifs en Europe, leur lien à la culture juive et hébraïque, leur rôle dans la création des espaces publics juifs et des centres culturels hébraïques avant et après leur transfert sur la terre d’Israël. Finalement, l’auteur discute sur les défis des systèmes de communication sociale en Israël dans le contexte des transformations contemporaines de leurs espaces publics et de la culture israélienne.
Israël : le système médiatique
Authors: Caspi Dan
Published: October 2023

Cet article offre une vue générale de la carte des médias d’Israël et suggère cinq étapes dans son développement :1. La période pré-étatique (jusqu’en 1948) : les médias s’enracinent dans la période du Mandat britannique, avant l’établissement de l’État d’Israël en 1948.2. La période de transition (1948-1967) : la seconde étape s’étend depuis les premières années de la formation du pays jusqu’à la guerre des Six jours.3. Le pluralisme contrôlé (1967-1986) : cette période se caractérise principalement par le renforcement d’un environnement modéré et libéral, une structure plurielle contrôlée et des arrangements divers concernant les relations entre l’institution des médias et son contexte.4. Le grand air (1987-2006) : cette quatrième étape est le reflet de la politique néo-libérale du gouvernement israélien, comme la politique du grand large : le développement accéléré des infrastructures de communications et la multiplication des signes du déclin du statut de la presse imprimée.5. La crise de la presse imprimée (2007-) : la crise mondiale de la presse imprimée affecte Israël et parallèlement les nouveaux médias se développent rapidement.
Le mythe national et la représentation de la guerre dans la presse israélienne : 1920-1982
Authors: Elyada Ouzi
Published: October 2023

Depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, l’identité collective de la société israélienne a été façonnée par un récit national glorieux, rompant avec la traditionnelle victimologie juive. Le nouvel Israélien, le sabra, est bien diffèrent de juif « passif » de la Shoah. Mais les guerres qui se succèdent, notamment depuis la fondation de l’État d’Israël en 1948, forgent un nouveau récit, une nouvelle mémoire. La presse israélienne analysée dans cet article témoigne de ces variations. L’identité israélienne devient le mélange d’une mémoire marquée par la Shoah et un présent éprouvé par les exactions de la guerre contre les Arabes.
La tension identitaire dans trois récits d’initiation : le sabra et la diaspora en héritage
Authors: Shacham Chaya
Published: October 2023

La révolution sioniste avait pour but de créer un personnage juif différent du vieux juif de la diaspora, dans son essence, sa manière de vivre et même sa physionomie.Dans cet article, j’examine l’axe de tension créé par l’existence concomitante du juif né en Israël, le sabra, et les caractères juifs dans trois histoires initiatiques qui ont paru dans le contexte de la période pré-étatique d’Israël. Les trois récits ont été écrits par des écrivains hébraïques prééminents qui ont exprimé et décrit le plus nettement la « culture de la jeunesse » israélienne : S. Yizhar (« Havaquq », 1963), Yaakov Shabtay (« Adoshem », 1972) et Amos Oz (« Mr. Levi », 1976).Ces récits d’initiation individuelle reposent sur des mécanismes de symbolisation et de métaphorisation qui font entrer le lecteur dans des histoires initiatiques de l’ancienne société d’Israël placée sous les auspices du projet sioniste. Chacun d’eux pose la question prégnante de l’image de cette société et des voies de son développement.En conclusion, ces histoires mettent en lumière le fait que l’espérance sioniste de briser complètement l’héritage de la diaspora fut vain.
Le temps vécu des Juifs en France pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale : regards rémois
Authors: Dupré Romain
Published: October 2023

« Sur l’horloge de l’histoire », note Adam Rayski, « les aiguilles avançaient plus vite pour les Juifs que pour les autres populations de l’Europe occupée. Le temps des autres n’était pas exactement le nôtre… »1. Cependant, les Juifs ne peuvent pas faire individuellement l’expérience du temps à un rythme constant. L’expérience du temps n’est en effet jamais uniforme. Concernant celle des Juifs de France pendant l’Occupation, elle n’a guère été vraiment interrogée, tout comme la manière dont leur temporalité est structurée durant ces années. À travers l’exemple rémois, notre propos entend démontrer l’importance de ces questions dans la compréhension de la condition des Juifs de France au cours de cette période. Il mobilise dans ce but de nombreux témoignages, ainsi que des concepts et notions de psychologie en plus des outils de l’historien. Au terme de notre démonstration d’inspiration phénoménologique, une temporalité en majeure partie différente dès 1942 de celle des non-Juifs se dessine, composite, saccadée. Elle traduit une persécution qui s’étend au final jusqu’à l’architecture soutenant la vie des Juifs de France pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
Le judaïsme français à l’épreuve : le rabbinat dans la Grande Guerre
Authors: Landau Philippe
Published: October 2023

Durant quatre années, dans leur élan patriotique, les Juifs de France vivent au rythme de la Grande Guerre. Assumant avec fierté sa devise « Religion et Patrie », le rabbinat mobilise lui aussi ses forces les plus vives pour les mettre au service de la République et de la liberté. Tandis que les aumôniers israélites veillent au réconfort spirituel des combattants, les rabbins sensibilisent les fidèles de l’arrière à œuvrer pour la victoire, quitte à interpréter les versets bibliques selon les besoins de la cause. Au-delà de la guerre totale et d’une surenchère patriotique jamais égalée dans son histoire, le judaïsme français ne serait-il pas en train de confondre religion et politique ?
Entre reniement et vénération :Benjamin Fondane questionne Dieu
Authors: Yaron-Leconte Iris
Published: October 2023

Le présent article discute de la place de la Bible dans la poésie de Benjamin Fondane, un poète et philosophe juif français, né en 1898 en Roumanie et assassiné en Auschwichz-Birkenau en 1944. Les deux séquences faisant partie du long poème Exode qui seront analysées ici ont été écrites quand Fondane est revenu de la guerre et lorsqu’il a appris la chute de Paris. Ce sombre contexte confère une densité aux allusions de Fondane à la Bible. Il se réfère notamment à l’épisode d’Aaron et du bouc pour demander à Dieu de réitérer son geste et se pose comme le médiateur entre ce dernier, le peuple juif, et aussi la France. La complexité des rapports entre Dieu et Fondane s’exprime davantage dans la seconde séquence que nous étudions, la séquence VIII : le poète oscille entre insolence et humilité, entre reniement et vénération.
« La Terre que Dieu habite »
Authors: Rota Olivier
Published: October 2023

Edmond Fleg (1874-1963) est un homme de lettres juif incontournable des années 1914-1963. Sioniste de la première heure, il consacre de nombreuses pages de ses ouvrages au lien entre le peuple juif et la Terre d’Israël entre le début des années 1930 et le début des années 1950. Parce qu'elle exprime l'espérance d'Israël, la pensée de Fleg ne pouvait en effet manquer de s’interroger sur la place de la Terre dans la réalisation des promesses divines. Cet article vise à définir l’originalité du sionisme de Fleg et à le situer par rapport aux courants sionistes de son époque.

Leadership has always been an interesting but challenging and dynamic area of management studies. Be it the theories on leadership or the evolution of leadership or what makes good leadership, studies are numerous. But with the changing workforce, and organizations having more than four generations at work, it becomes more interesting and challenging to lead this group. Among the existing generations, the millennial generation workforce calls for more studies due to changing patterns of work, culture, technology roles, etc. Hence adopting a qualitative approach with an in-depth literature review; the aim of this chapter is to understand the concept of millennial leadership and the future prospects for millennial leaders to make a positive contribution to global society.
The True Millennial Leader
Authors: Graham Tymon M.
Published: October 2023

It is noted that those born between the years of 1981 and 1996 are deemed millennials. For the sake of this text, the authors define leadership as a person who is committed to a purpose with the ability to influence people to accomplish or achieve a goal. As the largest living generation, the millennial generation brings a sense of diversity, inclusivity, and disruption to the normal operation of life, liberty, and the pursuit thereof. This chapter reviews the different generations, what leadership means to millennials, millennial leaders who exemplify characteristics important to millennials, preferences of millennial leaders, and what millennial leaders bring to the table, roles, jobs, and spaces.
Antecedents and Outcomes of Positive Social Psychology on Millennial Leader Behavior
Authors: Nandini M.H.  , Chaturvedi Shakti
Published: October 2023

This chapter will systematically review the effects of positive social psychology interventions applied through organizational context on the wellbeing and performance of millennial leaders. This literature study envelopes the independent variables, dependent variables, outcomes, the contexts of positive social psychology, and types of studies performed on positive social psychology systems concerning the millennial leaders in the organizations. Consequent evaluations of these learnings have uncovered that the positive social psychology intrusions appear to be a promising instrument for improving millennial leaders' performance and wellbeing. However, research investigating happiness in the workplace among a sample of millennial leaders has been minimal to none. Thus, it is essential to explore the motivation for millennial leaders and how it contributes to their happiness. Repercussions of these findings for both theory and practice and recommendations for further research in positive social psychology interventions within institutions are being discussed.
Getting Started as an Adjunct Faculty in the Online Classroom
Authors: Froschmayer Eleanor
Published: October 2023

Within the higher education communities, adjunct instructors play a vital role in nontraditional programs that are fully online. Because of the importance of these types of instructors, it is also essential that candidates are fully prepared to apply, interview, and research a position that will support them and their growth as adjunct instructors online. In addition, adjunct instructors need to understand the non-traditional learner within these online programs through knowledge of what makes a “non-traditional” student and how to support them through the possible challenges they face as students. In the end, understanding the role, the process of selecting an adjunct, and the support systems in place to support the adjunct growth and student's growth, will not make the adjunct successful but the students they work with successful too.
Supporting Adjunct Faculty Through Responsive Professional Development
Authors: Hayes Rebecca
Published: October 2023

As higher education institutions increasingly rely on adjunct faculty, this chapter delves into their role and explores how institutions can better support and develop these adjuncts. Often working part-time and teaching at multiple institutions, adjunct faculty typically lack formal preparation in instructional strategies or best practices. This chapter proposes an alternative approach to faculty onboarding, one that focuses on providing professional development in adult learning theory, instructional best practices, and time management strategies. By implementing an onboarding program at a large online university, responsive professional development has effectively supported adjunct faculty in the current academic climate. This program serves as a replicable model for faculty support and development, addressing the pressing need to provide substantial support to part-time faculty members who are likely to teach a significant portion of students at an institution.
Contingency and “Co-Being”
Authors: Kuruc Teresa
Published: October 2023

The dependence of one being on another, and the notion that the way things are is not the way they had to be, are core topics of contingency, and they inspire this chapter's intervention in discourse about supporting adjunct (or contingent) faculty. Instead of accepting the current institution-adjunct faculty relationship as an inevitable consequence of the contingency of the adjunct role, this essay suggests a means for putting contingency in service of adjunct faculty support. Literature scholars argue that literary techniques offer models for leveraging contingency toward productive ends. Accordingly, this essay draws on the concept of dialogism in literary and learning theory. Dialogism challenges the relationship between something given and something contingent and suggests that the interplay between the two entities reshapes interlocutors' understanding of the world. Therefore, it could be a theoretical catalyst for institutions to define adjunct faculty support practices that employ the developmental potential of contingency toward improving the adjunct faculty experience.
Engaging as an Online Adjunct Faculty
Authors: Mooney Tanya R.
Published: October 2023

This chapter explores the shared responsibility of engagement between online adjunct faculty and their institutions of employment. Since institutions employ a large number of adjunct faculty, it is reasonable to place the responsibility of the institution to initiate activities which draw in and engage online adjunct faculty. On the other hand, online adjunct faculty also bear the responsiblity of reaching out and engaging with their employing institution. However, this can be a challenge because faculty feel disconnected due to geographical separation from both their institution and their students. Regardless of the obstacles or argument, the is the responsibility of both the institution and the adjunct faculty to foster engagement.
Connecting Learning Theory to Course Design and Facilitation by Developing a Teaching Philosophy
Authors: Johnson Kate , Erickson Amy , Boggan Diana
Published: October 2023

Although online adjunct faculty have expertise in their area of study, a disconnect often exists between teaching practices, theory, and course development. As the higher education landscape shifts to a centralized course model, this disconnect must be addressed for institutions to help faculty provide instruction that bolsters student success and completion. A teaching philosophy can resolve this disconnection. Inherent in the development of a teaching philosophy is a critical reflection of beliefs about how learning happens, and an articulation of how classroom strategy is utilized through the lens of learning theory and an understanding of course design. As faculty gain confidence in integrating contemporary teaching practices into their current pedagogy, they can tailor learning experiences to students' needs, engage in evidence-based strategies to enhance content retention, and develop effective courses if needed. Additionally, the teaching philosophy acts as tool for self-evaluation and further pedagogical evolution, and if used at scale, could increase the level of faculty expertise in the classroom institution wide.
Using Extrascholastic Learning Environments in Teaching History Topics to Students With Learning Difficulties
Authors: Tokmak Ahmet , Kara Ilyas
Published: October 2023

The concept of extrascholastic learning argues that education can take place not only within the confines of the classroom or school but also in any environment that serves the intended learning purpose. Extrascholastic learning-based education, which enables students to acquire primary life experiences, provides significant advantages in terms of making instruction more concrete and ensuring the permanence of learning. This advantage is considered to be a significant opportunity for students with learning disabilities to eliminate learning deficiencies. This chapter aims to explain the theoretical foundation of extrascholastic learning-based education, the identification process of students with learning difficulties, the educational practices they are included in at the end of the process, highlighting significant considerations regarding extrascholastic learning activity process, presenting a sample lesson plan for teaching history topics, and providing sample activities to be used during implementation.

It suggests three inspirational school districts that can be used in the classroom. Cooperative group teaching versus universal design principles are debated, along with the definition of the characteristics of a diverse and inclusive educational background. Examples, also, from the local educational setting are given as these concepts are examined. The author addresses some related issues, such as how to accommodate students' various needs in a multicultural environment, what methods should be employed to increase student engagement and curriculum comprehension, and what possible advantages might be using assistive and adaptive technologies in the classroom have. The chapter concludes with a reflection on the use of inclusive and diverse settings, and it also includes additional relevant and helpful topics in the discussion at large.
Tweeted Articulations of Resistance Against Patriarchal Violence
Authors: Mokgwathi Kutlwano
Published: October 2023

Research on digital articulations of patriarchal violence—sexual gender-based violence, harassment, intimidation, and bullying—as experienced by women and femmes globally is still exploratory. Despite the continued research development, feminist academics and activists still have challenges designing online platforms that are safe spaces for all genders and expressions of sexuality. Thus, this chapter extends current research and focuses on the root causes of digital violence. This chapter also focuses on the uses of social media, mainly Twitter, and the developments of feminist discourses by activist organizations in Southern Africa: @womenforchange5 and @SisterNambia. This chapter discusses the use of feminist organizations as tools in building community, developing social change strategies, and the ability to combat cis-heterosexist patriarchal conditioning and violence. Consequently, this chapter aims to contextualize social media as an echo chamber of societal violence. Moreover, social media affordances result in digital realms becoming field sites of misogyny and misogynoir.

Cybersecurity Oversight and Board Diversity
Authors: Shukla Manjula , Pandey Piyush
Published: October 2023

The study aims to determine how board diversity affects cybersecurity information disclosure for financial companies listed on S&P BSE 150. To create a CSD scorecard, the authors rely on past studies as well as SEC guidelines. The empirical research is based on data from 30 financial companies that were listed in India between 2013 and 2022. Panel data estimation technique was used to examine the connection between board diversity and CSD. The results demonstrate that CSD in Indian financial companies is in its infancy. CSD and independence diversity are significantly and favourably related. Gender diversity has no effect on CSD. Additionally, having an IT specialist on board considerably raises CSD levels and moderates the association between independence diversity and CSD, but does not successfully moderate the association between gender diversity and CSD. This study contributes to the literature through empirical evidence on the extent of CSD practises, relationship between board diversity and CSD, and the importance of an IT specialist on the board in defining CSD practises.

A Study of Social Media and Cyber Bullying
Authors: Saraswat Anil Kumar , Meel Vijendra Singh
Published: October 2023

The use of social media has become increasingly prevalent over the past decade, with platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram boasting billions of active users. Social media platforms provide users with a variety of ways to connect with others, including the ability to share photos, videos, and messages in real-time. However, this increased connectivity has also led to a rise in cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying refers to the use of electronic devices and technology, such as social media platforms, to harass, intimidate, or embarrass others. Cyber-bullying can take many forms, including spreading rumors, making threats, and posting hurtful or humiliating comments or images. Unlike traditional forms of bullying, cyber-bullying can occur 24/7, and the anonymity afforded by social media platforms can make it difficult to identify perpetrators.

Digital revolution experienced by the human race has made great impact on presentation of bodies and self. Observing the (re)presentation of self in the social constructed phenomenon of ‘selfie' through sociological lens opens up gate for variety of conceptual and theoretical perspectives. The study aims to make inquiry in complex interplay among body, technology, and social control reflected in selfie. For this purpose, the study employs Netnography techniques along with thematic analysis under frameworks like dramaturgy, sociosemiotic, and dialectic to explore and describe sociologically relevant theories to grasp novel avenues of social control and (re)presentation of women's bodies through selfie. The chapter intend to develop space for further sociological research that enables the perception of selfies not only as socially constructed phenomenon but also a tool for social control over (re)presentation of self and objectification women bodies in cyberspace.
Exploring Operation of Gender in the Virtual Space
Authors: Nair Rajni
Published: October 2023

We find ourselves inhabiting a world that has been brought closer together by the vast reach and influence of the world wide web. The interconnectedness provided by the internet offers access to information, connectivity, anonymity, and power, unlike any other medium. It is therefore crucial to recognize that the apparent anonymity of the internet conceals a multitude of secrets and layers of information, making it a more public medium than one might initially perceive. Engaging in the exploration and use (exploitation) of this virtual realm exposes us to numerous perils and dangers. The idealistic notion that the virtual realm would transcend physical markers such as age, gender, class, caste, and race, and not be defining factors of individual existence, remains uncertain. This chapter aims to examine how the internet simultaneously acts as a liberating and entrapping force, becoming a new arena for reinforcing existing gender inequalities.
Exploring Motivations, Impact, and Coping Mechanisms of Post-Dating on Female Dating App Users
Authors: Shantharaju S. , Aishwarya Banik
Published: October 2023

Online dating apps are a popular platform for forming new connections. Generally, a virtual acquaintance intensifies between the users, eventually converting it into an offline relationship. Despite the anonymity of users being a prime motivation to initiate a conversation, it does pose challenges, including mental health issues and sexual abuse. There are increasing reports of privacy violations, extortions, cyberstalking, and sexual assaults connected with dating apps. While people in a relationship decide to set boundaries to avoid each other, both users go through an uncomfortable phase. Unless both parties mutually share the responsibility, the relationship issues are not sorted out without going through an abusive phase. One person's separation anxiety might become a physical manifestation, including virtual and physical assaults. The current study relies on focus group discussions to understand post-dating app manifestations and its impact on female dating app users. The study involves respondents mostly exposed to online dating.
Critical Media Literacy and Relations of Power
Authors: Alvermann Donna E.
Published: October 2023

This chapter reports on a multi-year project that the author conducted using a children's picture book titled The Tantrum that Saved the World. Published in 2017 by World Saving Books, the e-version with its 64 colorfully illustrated pages tells of a little girl who stares down a pending climate crisis by channeling her tantrum power into strategies for saving the world. In the first study, the storybook's words and illustrations were analyzed using a Foucauldian genealogy to show how power circulates and why acquiring only that knowledge stops short of what a critical media literacy (CML) filter might reveal. Two additional studies, one focused on an analysis of critical literacy outside its comfort zone, and the other, a critical post-humanist analysis of digital remixing in a licensed Creative Commons website provided a basis for connecting the multi-year project to the research literature on digital citizenship and ethics.

In today's digital era, it is important to examine the ways researching in digital spaces differs from the general practice of conducting qualitative research. For this reason, this chapter will consider the work done by researchers to include the ethical considerations, affordances, and constraints of conducting qualitative research in digital spaces. Then, with these points in mind, it will include a specific discussion on the research literature concerning how literacy researchers have studied adolescents' digital work both in and outside of educational spaces. Finally, implications will be shared on the future of research in digital spaces, such as with AI, and what is said and unsaid within the research literature about conducting qualitative research in digital spaces.

It is important to be a role model and guide for the child in the process of acquiring the rules and behaviors that should be followed in order to protect from the risks during the use of technology and not to create risks for others. In this context, as a result of the research conducted with preschool teachers who are the guides and role models of children, it was seen that their understanding of digital ethics was based on protection from the harms of technology, correct use, and the application of moral and ethical rules to the digital environment. It was stated that precautions such as restricting posts about children and controlling the channels they share were taken. They stated that they wanted to receive training on digital ethics to improve themselves, guide and protect children, and that they obtained information various resources. They stated that they shared with children, families, and colleagues on issues such as safe internet and digital citizenship and emphasized that teachers and parents should also be trained for digital ethics education to be given to children.

Supply chain efficiency relies heavily on being able to accurately predict future demand. In this chapter, the authors offer a machine learning framework for supply chain management demand forecasting that makes use of blockchain technology. The framework improves the precision of demand forecasts while maintaining data integrity and openness through the use of machine learning algorithms and blockchain technologies. Demand data is collected and preprocessed, machine learning models are applied, and blockchain is used to validate and secure the data. Results from experiments show that the framework is useful, with significant gains in accuracy and recall compared to more conventional methods. The results show the promise of merging machine learning with blockchain in demand forecasting, giving supply chain professionals a potent instrument with which to enhance the effectiveness of inventory management and overall operations. To fully reap the benefits of this approach, more study into scalability and implementation difficulties is necessary.

This chapter presents an exploratory qualitative study on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in supply chain management (SCM). With the growing complexity and uncertainty of supply chains, the integration of AI has gained increased attention as a potential solution for enhancing SCM. Using semi-structured interviews with experts in the field, this study investigates the application of AI for supply chain optimization, as well as the challenges that firms face in implementing such technologies. The results of this study reveal that AI-based SCM systems have the potential to enhance supply chain efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall performance. However, challenges such as data quality and compatibility, organizational resistance to change, and lack of trust in AI technology were identified as barriers to successful implementation. These findings contribute to the understanding of the current state and future direction of AI in SCM, and provide practical implications for managers seeking to use AI-based solutions in their supply chain operations.

The present study was to compare eGFR values estimated from different equations based on creatinine and cystatin-C in patients on hemodialysis treatment. eGFR values were calculated using Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology equations based on Creatinine (CKD-EPICr) and cystatin-C values alone (CKDEPI Cys C) and by their combination (CKD-EPICr-Cys C), using 40 pre-dialysis samples. No significant differences in renal function parameters and eGFR were observed, either between male (55%) and female (45%) patients or within different age groups (p>0.05). Certain levels of agreement (p>0.05) were observed between the equations, except for the values derived from CKD-EPICys C and CKD-EPICr-Cys C (p = 0.022). Significant positive correlations were observed between all selected equations. The highest correlation was observed between CKD-EPICr and MDRD (r = 0.998, p = 0.000), whereas the lowest correlation was found between MDRD and CKD-EPICys C (r = 0.552, p = 0.000). The present findings revealed that MDRD and CKD-EPICr equations are suitable for the calculation of eGFR in routine local clinical settings for the assessment of progression of kidney impairment in patients with CKD on hemodialysis treatment. However, the use of CKD-EPICr-Cys C rather than the CKD-EPICys C is recommended as a confirmatory tool where necessary.

Introduction: Mental health problems in adolescence are common.Objectives: To assess the mental health of grade 10 students in Ampara District and their associated factorsMethods: This descriptive study was conducted from May to November 2018. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was used to assess the students’ mental health status under five domains. They were total abnormal scores (TAS), emotional problems (EP), conduct problems (CP), hyperactive/inattention problems (HIP) and peer problems (PP). The prevalence of mental health problems was summarized as percentages. The significance of associated factors was assessed at p<0.05 and presented in adjusted odds ratio (aOR).Results: Of the 1340 students, 11.9% had reported TAS. The prevalence of EP, CP, PP and HIP were 15.1%, 12.9%, 12.1% and 11.7%, respectively. Eight factors associated with abnormal scores were identified. Difficulties in schoolwork were associated with all five domains (aOR=5.9; 95% CI: 2.5, 13.6 for TAS; aOR=4.0; 95% CI: 2.1, 7.7 for EP, aOR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.6, 5.4 for CP, aOR =2.6; 95% CI: 1.4, 4.6 for PP and aOR=2.5; 95% CI: 1.4, 4.5 for HIP). Not involving in religious activities regularly at home was associated with all domains except emotional problems (aOR=2.4; 95% CI: 1.3, 4.3 for TAS, aOR=2.2; 95% CI: 1.2, 3.9 for PP, aOR=2.1; 95% CI: 1.2, 3.6 for HIP and aOR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.2, 3.5 for CP). Not having a close family member to discuss their problems was associated with TAS (aOR=2.4; 95% CI: 1.4, 4.2), EP (aOR=3.4; 95% CI: 1.9, 5.8) and HIP (aOR=2.2; 95% CI: 1.3, 3.7). The presence of stressful life events was associated with TAS (aOR= 1.9; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.4), EP (aOR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.5) and CP (aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.3, 4.3). Tobacco smoking habit of father was associated with TAS (aOR=2.9; 95% CI: 1.2, 6.6) and CP (aOR=2.3; 95% CI: 1.1, 4.6). The alcohol-drinking habit of father was associated with EP (aOR=3.0; 95% CI: 1.3, 7.0). Not attending to additional tuition classes was associated with EP (aOR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.1, 3.4) and PP (aOR=2.6; 95% CI: 1.4, 4.6). The low educational level of the mother was associated with the TAS (aOR=1.9; 95% CI: 1.2, 3.4).Conclusions & Recommendations: Mental health problems are common among school-going adolescents. All mental health problems were significantly associated with difficulties in schoolwork and most of the others were modifiable family-related factors. School mental health screening programmes are recommended with special attention on students with difficulties in schoolwork. School Mental health awareness and promotional programmes should target the students as well as teachers and parents to create a supportive school and family environment.
