The construction of gay identity through Polari in the ‘Julian and Sandy’ radio sketches
Authors: Baker Paul
Published: June 2023

This article examines the construction of gay identity in a 1960s British radio comedy programme. Whilst on the surface these constructions appear to be effeminate, ‘negative’ gay stereotypes, a closer analysis reveals that more subversive and challenging interpretations can also be applied. The role of Polari (a ‘gay’ language variety) is explored as one of the key contributory factors in the representation of gay identity in the sketches.
Homophobia, disgust and the body: Towards a psychosocial approach to sexual prejudice
Authors: Hodges Ian
Published: June 2023

Theoretical and empirical approaches to homophobia (and other forms of sexual prejudice) have tended to remain polarised between individual and societal/cultural levels of analysis. For example, much psychological work has relied upon psychometric understandings of individual prejudice, while sociological and cultural studies approaches have focused upon the social construction of sexual identity and the overarching impact of heteropatriarchal structures. In this paper I outline a psychosocial approach in which I argue that a focus upon the ways in which cultural/structural processes are linked with embodied ‘experience’ provides a means to unite some of the different levels of analysis mentioned above. Thus, I consider the ‘experience’ of embodied emotion as one key site through which social and cultural processes have their individual effects and go on to examine the role of embodied emotions in sexual prejudice – in particular shame and disgust – such that we may begin to map some of the complex ways in which individual prejudice and societal/institutional oppression are profoundly interrelated.
The ground upon which we stand: Teaching sexualitythroughrace
Authors: Riggs Damien W.
Published: June 2023

In this paper I outline some of my own practices for teaching about non-heterosexual sexualities in tertiary education in Australia, and I suggest that one approach to teaching in this context requires non-indigenous educators to locate ourselves and our students within a relationship to ongoing histories of colonisation and the fact of Indigenous sovereignty. I also suggest that teaching about the intersections of multiple identity positions requires educators to incorporate specific teaching practices that render visible social norms, and which highlight the relationship between privilege and disadvantage. Finally, I outline the possible benefits of coming out in the classroom on multiple levels, and suggest that coming out as a white, queer educator can assist in modelling forms of engagement for dominant group students that account for their social location.
Accounts of gender diverse university students who abstain from alcohol use
Authors: Ward Logan , Riggs Damien W. , Breen Lauren J.
Published: June 2023

Gender diverse and transgender people report elevated alcohol use compared with the general population yet no studies have examined motives to abstain or limit alcohol consumption within this vulnerable population. A thematic analysis of interviews with seven gender diverse people identified two overarching themes: Awareness of the safety implications of alcohol and Access to non-drinking spaces. Participants acknowledged that drinking alcohol was a social norm yet were hesitant to drink, especially in public places, due to safety concerns and highlighted a need for non-drinking, LGBTI-friendly spaces. These findings have implications for promoting non-drinking strategies of benefit to gender diverse communities.
Through thick and thin: Storying queer women’s experiences of idealised body images and expected body management practices

Published: June 2023

In this study we examine how discourses of obesity and eating disorders reinforce cissexist and heteronormative body standards. Sixteen queer women in Canada produced autobiographical micro-documentaries over the course of two workshops. We identified three major themes across these films: bodily control, bodies as sites of metamorphosis, and celebration of bodies. Such films can be memorable, cultivate empathy, disrupt misunderstanding of queer bodies, and inform medical practice. Our analysis suggests that research and policy on ‘disordered’ bodies must better account for how people negotiate discourses around body shape and size, how shaming is internalised, how regulation can function as resistance, and how variant bodies can be embraced, desired, and celebrated. Community-grounded, arts-based research points to new ways of gathering and producing knowledge.
‘We can’t help you here’: The discursive erasure of sexual minorities in South African public sexual and reproductive health services
Authors: Morison Tracy , Lynch Ingrid
Published: June 2023

Worldwide, sexual and gender minorities struggle to access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. In South Africa, sexual prejudice is entrenched and pervasive in health systems and SRH services do not cater for a diverse range of people. Though health reform is underway, little attention has been given to how sexuality is being addressed in this process, particularly in the National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme currently being piloted. We analyse interview data generated in an NHI pilot district, using discursive methodology, informed by a sexual and reproductive justice standpoint. We show how sexual and gender minorities are discursively in/visibilised in health settings and discuss these findings in relation to the social justice and solidarity aims of health systems reform.

EFFECT OF PREPARATION TEMPERATURE ON ETHYLCELLULOSE MICROSPHERE PROPERTIES PREPARED BY OIL-IN-OIL EMULSION SOLVENT EVAPORATION PROCESS
Authors:   Moradabad Educational Trust Group of Institutions Faculty of Pharmacy, Moradabad -244 001, Uttar Pradesh, India, K. Mohapatra Prasanta , K. Sahoo Sunit
Published: June 2023

The present study aims to formulate ethylcellulose microspheres using the oil-in-oil emulsion solvent evaporation method and judge the outcome of processing temperature on their features. The effects of the evaporation rate of the solvent on the particle properties and drug release characteristics of the microspheres were studied. Here, microspheres were prepared at different processing temperatues, viz., 10 0 C, 25 0 C, and 40 0 C, and their impact on the various characteristics of microspheres like surface topography, micrometrics, yield percent, encapsulation efficiency, in vitro dissolution, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and release kinetics were elaborately studied. The FTIR study revealed that processing temperature did not affect drug-polymer compatibility. The study observed that the processing temperature had a great influence on the various characteristics of the prepared microsphere. It was observed from sieve analysis that the mean particle size of the microsphere increased with an increase in processing temperature, and the SEM study also corroborated the same result. SEM photographs showed processing at a higher temperature resulted in particles with a smooth surface, in contrast to a lower processing temperature that forms a bumpy surface. Furthermore, a higher temperature favoured formulation with a higher entrapment efficiency (94.42 ± 0.9 %) as compared to a lower temperature (85.2 ± 0.72 %). For a noteworthy timeframe, indinavir sulfate frames a solid solution in the ethylcellulose matrix and proceeds with the amorphous state. The results of an in vitro drug dissolution study showed that microspheres formulated at a higher temperature had a more sustaining effect as compared to those formulated at a lower temperature, which may have resulted due to their higher mean particle size. Using the Korsemeyer Peppas power law, it was found that the way drugs are released is controlled by diffusion.
Effect of Load and Prospect on High-Rise Buildings
Authors: Ouyang Linze
Published: June 2023

With the acceleration of urbanization, high-rise buildings have become the most familiar buildings in the city because of many advantages such as a small footprint and good lighting. However, due to the height of high-rise buildings, they are particularly affected by transverse loads, such as wind load and earthquake load. To have a better understanding of high-rise buildings, this paper discusses the central structural systems of high-rise buildings. And explains the influence of wind load and earthquake load on high-rise buildings. The main structural styles of high-rise buildings include frame structure, shear wall structure, frame-shear wall structure, and tube structure. Frame structure weight of small but large displacement, shear wall structure integrity but less space, frame - shear wall structure is the advantage of the two, and frame tube structure has strong ability to resist lateral but considerable weight. The randomness of wind load leads to unstable vibration of high-rise buildings. The weakest link of high-rise buildings under seismic load appears at the beam-column joints. Future high-rise buildings will pay more attention to humanistic significance while considering safety. This paper summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of several primary forms of high-rise buildings at present, and analyzes the influence of wind load and earthquake load on high-rise buildings, which has specific guiding significance for the safety research of high-rise buildings.

Pendidikan tasawwuf mutlak bagi siapapun dimanapun dan kapanpun sebab adab sebagai alat pembuka sebuah pintu praktik keseharian baik secara tuntunan dan etika terutama bagi anak usia dini. Kehilangan substansi pendidikan dalam unsur-unsur sufistik maupun spiritual anak tidak bisa dipungkiri akan tumbuh dan berkembang menjadi insan yang kosong secara ruhani sehingga berdampak pada ketenangan jiwa, pola pikir yang tergius oleh modernitas, kelemahan responsibilitas, serta tumbuh menjadi pribadi yang egois, materialistis, individualistis. Hal tersebut disebabkan anak yang masih bersifat lebih menirukan mengedepankan kehendak nafsu, emosi, ego dan keinginan lahiriyah dan temporal, Sementara kehendak batin terpadamkan akibat tergius oleh nafsu ammarah secara bebas. Penanaman, pembinaan, pembiasaan pendidikan tasawwuf bagi anak usia dini menjadi kewajiban akhlak dan bahkan mengarah kepada subtansi aqidah. Beberapa praktek pendidikan tasawwuf bagi anak usia dini yang dapat dikembangkan adalah pertama, mendidik anak mulai dari hal yang terkecil sesuai dengan psikosufistik, berhati sufistik melalui cara-cara secara sederhana. Kedua, dialektika antara guru dan murid. Ketiga, menjaga sunnah.

Authors: Indahwati Mamik , AR Zaini Tamin
Published: June 2023

One of the factors that causes the lack of development of children's science skills is monotonous learning. Teachers are more likely to provide explanations and assignments. So, even though science has been taught, children do not understand it well. This study aims to determine the implementation of children's science learning through hydroponic kangkung planting activities at Mutiara Ummi Baby School and Child Care, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. This study found that more than 50% of students have very well developed science skills, because students are able to do it independently and have been able to help their friends who have not achieved their abilities based on assessment indicators. Therefore, these activities need to be applied as a variation of science learning in children. To be more optimal, institutions must provide a variety of complete and adequate infrastructure.

Parenting a Child with Asperger’s Syndrome
Authors: Irawati Sutiyah Nova
Published: June 2023

This study provides an interpretive description of parents’ experiences of raising a child with Asperger’s syndrome (AS). Thirteen parents (eight mothers; five fathers) from eight families participated. Data were com-prised of repeated semi-structured interviews with parents. The core concept of a ‘‘balancing act’’ was identified, and included two key themes: losing our footing and regaining our balance. Parents lost their footing when they experi-enced escalating challenges and lack of parenting success. They persevered over many years to find an answer to their children’s problems. The diagnosis of AS was a turning point that initiated the process of ‘‘regaining our balance,’’ enabling parents to better understand both their children and the condition. In this part of the process parents gradually experienced parenting success and rebuilt their confidence. The results of this study suggest that parenting a child with AS is a complex and evolving process in which parents struggle to find the right balance for themselves, their child with AS, and their family as a whole. Parenting encompassed joys and sorrows and an important part of finding balance included the ability to acknowledge both the positive qualities of their children and the challenges of managing the condition. Lack of professional recognition of AS, as well as blame and stigma, negatively affected these participants’ ability to parent and points to the critical need for further education of teaching and health professionals.
Efektifitas Guru dalam Administrasi dan Kurikulum Pendidikan terhadap Etika Peserta Didik di TK Al Azhar Panjunan Kepuhkiriman Waru Sidoarjo

Published: June 2023

Satu pohon yang berbuah lebih baik daripada seribu pohon yang tidak berbuah, analogi keilmuan yang berasal dari pepatah arab tersebut seakan-akan searah dengan permasalahan perkembangan pendidikan saat ini yang melupakan kualitas pendidikan terlebih dalam aspek etika peserta didik dan seberapa besar keberhasilan dan kemanfaatan ilmu yang telah diperoleh sesudahnya, unsur birokrasi administrasi yang sepihak, verbalistik, kuantitatif dan structural baik secara institusional maupun instruksional membuat proses pendidikan membeku, membunuh kreatifitas guru dan membentuk pendidikan yang tidak bernilai sehingga hakikat guru dan keilmuan peserta didik memudar dalam mencapai tujuan utama dalam membentuk etika peserta didik menjadi terabaikan. Pengembangan kontruksi administrasi tanpa dibarengi pemahaman dan pengamalan utuh terhadap subtansi pendidikan menimbulkan disorientasi diksi dari adminitrasi itu sendiri, sehingga membuat adminitrasi pendidikan tidak bermakna lagi dalam memfasilitasi pembentukan etika peserta didik dengan sempurna yang senantiasa berkembang sesuai dengan zaman saat ini.

Authors: Zhong Jing , Yang Chengyuan , Sun Wanying , Lyu Liz (Yilin) , Huang Yuanshu
Published: June 2023

Together with the United Nations achievements comes constant criticism. The Security Council, as one of the core organs of the UN, has been a center of contention. The lack of practical responses to the Ukraine crisis since 2014 invokes another round of skepticism about the Councils functionality and demand for reform. This paper does not consider the current dilemma exceptional. In contrast, this is merely another example that illustrates the Councils increasing incapability when encountering the changing balance of power. Therefore, this paper claims the Council needs a robust reform to re-adapt to the grand trend. The first part briefly introduces the Councils history to illustrate some possible fundamental issues in the Council. The second part analyzes the Councils contemporary dilemmas when encountering crises involving great powers, such as Ukraine. Finally, the paper evaluates the existing plans for reform and proposes a new direction for consideration. Even though the Council has been suffering from weakness recently, it is unlikely that the world can completely abandon it soon before finding a more appropriate replacement. Therefore, this papers work is an initiating framework for future reform. But more research and discussion are necessary for a more elaborate scheme for practice.

Expressiveness has been a popular area of research for gender studies. While females are stereotyped as being more emotionally expressive than men, men appear to beexpressive when it comes to stating one's opinions regarding important or controversial events. Given the widespread use of social media platforms, people now have more opportunities to learn about and discuss a variety of topics. To investigate gender differences in expressing thoughts in cyberspace and the real world, we analyzed questionnaire data from 82 adolescent participants and discovered that both genders prefer expressing their views in the real world rather than online, and there is no significant gender difference in one's tendency to voice their viewpoints based on self-report, although females are believed to be more enthusiastic towards expressing opinions based on participant's evaluation of their friends' behavior.

Published: June 2023

In the Internet era, women create different body images and express different meanings through social media. This study aims to explore different female attitudes represented by these body expressions through case analysis. Analysis shows that, with the aid of social media this convenient platform, the female body show according to the motivation can be roughly divided into two kinds: please yourself and please others, the former is likely to be driven by money and the interests of the opposite sex appeal such as external, while the latter may come from the social environment in the promotion of the position of women and women's internal empowerment. Therefore, different body expressions bring about both negative and positive effects. The former may worsen women to become the object of male control, while the latter can enhance women's self-identity, break the mainstream single aesthetic, and continuously promote women's self-empowerment. This piece offers some recommendations based on the analysis. More women can be more engaged because they can express their diverse identities in a logical and self-centered manner. Body expression will thus have a beneficial effect. Women may therefore increase the benefits of their body expression by posing and clothing, and they can disseminate good influence by reciting uplifting themes. The recommendations for reducing drawbacks should come from a third party in the hopes that media literacy will increase and they will refrain from making rash comments, criticizing online women's body expression, or producing false facts to refute. Women's caution in preserving personal privacy has also been heightened by this.

Authors: Mei Zhenyu
Published: June 2023

When discussing the question of what influences information sharing among users of online communities and the extent to which it is strong, researchers have come up with different views, which has hindered the development of online community research. This study compares the empirical studies of previous scholars and systematically analyses their influencing factors and strengths with the help of meta-analysis. Twenty-seven Chinese and English literatures were collected and analyzed to identify and code 15 significant factors influencing information sharing among online community users, and to test for heterogeneity and publication bias. The study found that the influencing factors could be divided into 6 external factors and 9 internal factors in two categories. 7 moderately correlated factors and 8 weakly correlated factors were also derived based on correlation coefficients. Of these, technical effectiveness and control had the greatest impact on information sharing among users of online communities, followed by perceived usefulness and information quality. External factors were mainly concentrated in the moderately relevant category. Theoretical and practical implications for community operations and managers are discussed in light of these findings

This study focuses on how social media encourages people to focus on education in specific suburbs and how it promotes gender equality. Therefore, this study will explore how social media can promote gender equality in Liangshan. This study will support this view through research data and other studies and propose possible solutions. The results show that the current gender inequality still exists in the Liangshan area, which is reflected in the low rate of girls entrance to school and the relative lack of sex education. Social media is helping to solve this problem to a certain extent and introducing some valuable knowledge to them. The article believes that the Liangshan region should continue to promote this trend and bring better equality, protection, and education to poor women. The government should regulate some social media so as to show more positive content to people and better promote the development of gender equality
Avoid being One Dimensional Person in Subcultures
Authors: Jia Minghan
Published: June 2023

In recent years, with the rapid development of digital network technology, the spread of the sub-cultural circle layer has brought many shocks and challenges to the mainstream culture, and it has strengthened the spiritual control of the public with the new media. Because of their excessive reliance on technology, people have gradually become one dimensional people. When public opinion invades into the personal life of individuals, and the personal life carries the mass media and spreads out, the dimensional people will lose their spiritual pursuit under the constraint of material desire, and thus gradually lose their ability to think independently. By analyzing the phenomenon and reasons of subculture, this paper explores the countermeasures to avoid the development of new media.This paper strives to provide theoretical guidance for the public to get rid of the mind control of new media and avoid being one-dimensional people, so that people can have a better understanding of the sub-cultural circle and a clearer understanding of the background environment of big data.

With the development of the Internet and the innovation of mobile network technology, the advent of the social network era has broken the time and space constraints in the traditional social mode, changed the traditional social mode, and extended the interpersonal interaction in people's daily life to the virtual space. The difference between the social network and traditional Internet interaction is that it not only allows strangers to meet and communicate with each other, but it also aims to make a virtual social platform to generate a mapping with real-life interpersonal relationships and make this mapping visible. The social network builds an equal, open, and decentralized communication platform for users. Everyone becomes a creator and communicator instead of a passive recipient and provides a platform for each user to present themselves. In this research, in order to study the impacts on adolescents' online self-presentation intentions, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and media use frequency are regarded as independent variables to measure their behavioral intentions. Besides, a questionnaire was conducted randomly in 529 samples from Suzhou and Tianjin, China, of which only 206 samples were about adolescents. Then, the data were analyzed via SPSS. The results show that there is a positive relationship between online self-presentation motive and attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control, and media use frequency. Whats more, the other-related areas can testify to these results.

The Revival of Isolationism under the Trump Administration
Authors: Xue Rui
Published: June 2023

Since taking office, Trump has adhered to the policy tenet of America First, with unilateralism as the course of action. At the same time, the Trump administration is also deliberately reducing the international responsibilities borne by the US and emphasizing the principles of fairness and transaction in foreign dealings. Some scholars see this series of actions as a trend towards a return to isolationism. This paper revolves around isolationist foreign policy, more focuses on the revival of isolationism since the Trump administration took office, discusses the Trump administration's foreign policy with its isolationist character. This paper further points out that, given the relative weakening of US international influence, the loss of US manufacturing and the decline in people's living standards, and Trump's mercantilist overtones, the Trump administration has changed its long-held liberal internationalist diplomatic course in favour of a partial return to traditional isolationism. It has profoundly affected the US domestic and world landscape. This study can help to understand the shift in the guiding philosophy of US diplomacy and provide background information on how to develop relations with the US in the new context.
Analysis of the Weak Position of Women in European Countries from the Perspective of Park Design and How Could Park Management Improve the Situation - in a Case Study of Whiteley Woods in Sheffield
Authors: Guo Jiani
Published: June 2023

Park is an important space where people could get close to nature in urban space. However, at the time when European parks were first built, gender dysphoria led to park design and management that left a hidden sense of security for women. This paper explores the factors that restricted women's access to the naturalistic style parks that emerged in Europe in the late 20th century, and suggests ways to improve them. The purpose of this study is to allow the public and related departments realize that women in Europe still face the same fear in the park as women in other parts of the world. Knowing that point may help not only to improve the participance of women in public life but also improve the concept of a safe city by considering the park space. The subject of this study is women living in Europe and their feelings when they go to the park, especially with a naturalistic style. The research is conducted by reviewing literature and doing a case study in Sheffield, a city in England. Most references are peer-reviewed journal articles while some data about crime was gathered by UKs official statistic department. Finally, study found that park with features, such as darkness, empty and enclosed woodland, would not be an enjoyable space for women and the more vulnerable position of women in violent crime may worsen womens fear in such space. Corresponding to the unsettled factors in a park, park management could be supplementary for the design.
Review of E-cigarette Use and Mental Health Among Young Adults in the United States
Authors: Huang Shiqing
Published: June 2023

In recent years, e-cigarettes have become the most popular tobacco product among young adults, and the proportion of people experiencing mental health problems has risen dramatically. The purpose of this review is to summarize the previous studies that looked at the association between e-cigarette use and mental disorders among young adults in the United States. We used Google Scholar as our main database. The key search terms include electronic cigarettes, mental health, young adults, the United States, and other synonyms. We found 4,260 studies at the beginning. After removing duplicates and other irrelevant articles, 33 articles are left. After going through abstracts and titles, 9 articles are left and are included in our final review. The mental health disorders in our review included depression, anxiety, impulsivity, post-traumatic stress disorder, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and nicotine independence, and most papers showed that there was an association between e-cigarettes and mental health disorders among young adults. Among those who co-use e-cigarettes and other substances, dual users have a higher risk of developing depressive symptoms compared to those who only use e-cigarettes. There is an association between e-cigarette use as well as co-use and mental health disorders. More research should be done to understand the biological reasons behind the relationship between e-cigarette use and mental health disorders.
Scientific Reasonings Regarding the Multiverse and Its Implications
Authors: Peng Kangze
Published: June 2023

The multiverse has been a heated topic under discussion as it belongs to a scientific concept, yet still has strong philosophical implications as direct evidence can hardly be gathered. This research analyzes the likelihood of the multiverse using classical scientific reasoning models, including falsification and the paradox of grue. The paper also discusses the impact of the multiverse on our free will, covering the notions of the time sequence, self, and the logic behind scientific developments. The paper concludes that the multiverse is so far rendered pseudoscience, and the situation may only change when science further develops. Although the multiverse is a theory that strongly challenges the notion of free will, the paper concludes that we should believe we possess free will to prevent the culture war and preserve all human emotions.
Recent Controversies over Affirmative Action in the United States
Authors: Zheng Huiwen
Published: June 2023

Affirmative action has a long history and is a controversial policy. This policy refers to an organization investing resources to ensure that people are not discriminated against on the basis of gender or race. For decades, affirmative action has been a very complete and controversial aspect of college enrollment in the United States. It has played an essential role in supplying educational chances, academic growth, and a community awareness for students. However, others believe that this policy is outdated in our current climate and is sometimes viewed as a form of reverse racial discrimination. Many universities have recently raised questions about affirmative action and its practices. Drawing upon various online sources, this paper looks at the changing attitudes toward affirmative action in education in the United States in recent years. It further explores why universities start to oppose affirmative action policy. The research sheds light on the development of affirmative action in recent years in the United States and contributes to our understanding of equality and justice in education in societies.
Trustworthiness and Individual Differences The Impact Males Facial Structure (Width-to-Height Ratio) Can Have on Social Attributions of Others
Authors: Lyu Pinjie
Published: June 2023

People quickly develop opinions about others' personalities and intentions based solely on appearance and cognitive abilities, which can have serious consequences. The objective facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) has been associated with social attributions of trustworthiness, with men who have wider faces being viewed as less trustable than men with narrower faces.In this investigation, we examine the relationship between fWHR and three crucial components of perceived trustworthiness: perceived benevolence, perceived ability, and perceived integrity, with the goal of better understanding this finding. There are two experiments in my research, both within-subject experiments, using a within-subject t-test to analyze data. We will measure individuals' different judgements according to images of different fWHR. We expect that "people perceive men who are narrower-faced as being more likely to take a risk and become vulnerable to others" and "lower levels of counterproductive behaviour and having appropriate knowledge do not correlate with the facial width-to-height ratio." In addition, we anticipate that people with narrower faces will more frequently be perceived as having higher integrity than people with wider faces, whereas people with narrow faces and broad faces are equal in having higher benevolence or ability. These results suggest that fWHR influences people's social choices, which may pave the way for future research on facial appearance, perceived trustworthiness, and impression management.
