The Nature of Long COVID and its Solution
Authors: Ola Paul
Published: July 2022

Logical conclusions from observations have been unable to verifiably account for the nature of long COVID or the nature of its solution. In this paper, a verifiable hypothesis emerges from the reality we have illustrated with a superior method of obtaining knowledge which makes logical deductions only to obtain consequences, those predictions which must agree perfectly with observations if indeed our hypotheses are the knowledge we require to solve longstanding problems.

Associations between digital media use and psychotic experiences in young adults of Quebec, Canada: a longitudinal study
Authors: Paquin Vincent , Philippe Frederick L. , Shannon Holly , Guimond Synthia , Ouellet-Morin Isabelle , Geoffroy Marie-Claude
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Digital media use has been associated with psychotic experiences in youth from the community, but the direction of association remains unclear. We aimed to examine between- and within-person associations of digital media use and psychotic experiences in youth.Methods: The sample included 425 participants aged 18-25 years (82.5% female) from the community, followed between May 2021 and January 2022 over 3 time points – of which 263 participants (61.9%) completed at least 2. Digital media use was self-reported as time spent daily on TV and streaming platforms, social media, and video games over the past 3 months. Psychotic experiences in the past 3 months were measured with the 15-item Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences. Associations between digital media use and psychotic experiences were estimated using a random-intercept cross-lagged panel model.Results: At the between-person level, greater digital media use was associated with higher levels of psychotic experiences (r=0.34, 95% CI: 0.15, 0.53). However, within-person changes in digital media use were not significantly associated with subsequent changes in psychotic experiences, or vice-versa. Results were similar across TV/streaming, social media and video game use, and after adjusting for age, sex, education, sleep, physical activity, and cannabis use.Conclusion: Individuals with a tendency for higher levels of digital media use also had a tendency for higher levels of psychotic experiences. Understanding this association may help personalize mental health interventions for people with psychotic experiences, which may be offered digitally to promote their accessibility.
Informant-discrepancy in the Affective Reactivity Index Reflects the Multifaceted Nature of Childhood and Adolescent Irritability

Published: August 2022

Objective: The Affective Reactivity Index (ARI) is widely used to assess young people’s irritability symptoms, but youth and caregivers often diverge in their assessments. Such informant discrepancy might stem from poor reliability. However, evidence from genetic, imaging and treatment studies suggests that irritability may not be a unitary construct. Hence informants might be sensitive to different aspects of irritability. We use an out-of-sample replication approach and a longitudinal design to test these hypotheses. Method: Across two independent samples (N1=765, 8-21 years; N2=1910, 6-21 years), we investigate the reliability and measurement invariance of the ARI, examine sociodemographic and clinical predictors of discrepant reporting, and probe the utility of a bifactor model for cross-informant integration. Results: Despite good internal consistency and 6-week-retest-reliability of parent and youth forms, we confirm substantial informant discrepancy in ARI ratings, which is stable over six weeks (n1=177). Measurement invariance across informants was weak, indicating that parents and youth may interpret ARI items differently. Informant-discrepancy increased with irritability severity, but which informant reported higher child-irritability depended on the child’s diagnostic status. In both datasets, a bifactor model parsing informant-specific from shared irritability-related variance fit the data well. Conclusion: Parent and youth ARI reports and their discrepancy are reliable. However, parent and youth ratings may reflect different interpretations of the scale items; hence they should not be averaged. Our findings suggest that irritability is not a unitary construct. Future work should investigate and model different aspects of irritability, which might be more accessible to specific informants.
Politicizing motorcycles: Racialized capital of technology, techno-Orientalism and Japanese temporality
Authors: Miyake Esperanza
Published: July 2022

This article politicizes the racialization of motorcycles and critically examines the representation and material consumption of Japanese raciality and technology through motorcyclic discourses. First, referring to online discourses surrounding Harley-Davidson and Japanese motorcycles, I argue that these essentialize and racialize motorcycles, which in turn, through their material consumption, become a technology for classifying, racializing and organizing sociocultural systems of western cultural hegemony. I suggest the term racialized capital of technology as a way of examining and politicizing the ideological-material intersection of racialized technology. Second, through an analysis of Honda’s contemporary advertising discourse (United Kingdom, United States, Japan, World websites), I focus further on the racialization of technology by exploring the ways in which Japan is temporalized through technology. I re-think techno-Orientalist ideas on the future and technology as being ‘Japanized’ and, instead, explore the Japanization of the past through technology, or the historicization of Japanese technology. I argue that Honda’s dual connectivity to the past and the future marks a destabilization of techno-Orientalist discourses of Japan and technology, providing a counter-narrative against western cultural hegemony. However, I am also critical of such discourses and consider some of the historical and ontological tensions surrounding the representation of Japan and technology, relating these to Japanese temporal imperialism and capitalism.
O paradoxo francês: ou como estudar a questão racial sem a categoria raça?
Authors: De Lima Suely Aparecida
Published: July 2022

Resumo: Este texto está estruturado em torno da seguinte questão: de que maneira a França aborda a questão racial se o Estado francês interdita o uso corrente e censitário da categoria raça? O argumento central é que os estudos sobre a questão racial na França hexagonal praticam uma bricolagem étnico-racial a partir de categoriais jurídicas (nacionalidade) e geográficas (região). Nesse sentido, visando contribuir com a literatura inscrita na sociologia histórica do racismo, este artigo é informado empiricamente pelos estudos empreendidos na França pelo Instituto Nacional de Estudos Demográficos (INED), pelo Instituto Nacional de Estatísticas e Estudos Econômicos (INSEE) e pela Comissão Nacional Consultativa dos Direitos dos Homens (CNCDH). A partir desses estudos é construído um apanhado geral da questão racial na França metropolitana contemporânea de maneira a analisar o paradoxo francês: apesar da persistência do racismo na sociedade francesa, a categoria sociológica raça é interditada pelo Estado francês.The French Paradox: or how to study the racial question without race category?Abstract: This text is structured around the following question: how does France approach the racial issue given that French State prohibits the use of race category? The central argument is that studies on racial question in hexagonal France practice an ethnical-racial bricolage based on legal (nationality) and geographical (region) categories. Aiming to contribute with the literature inscribed in the historical sociology of racism, this paper is empirically informed by the studies conducted in France by the National Institute of Demographic Studies (INED), the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (INSEE) and the National Consultative Commission on Men’s Rights (CNCDH). Based on these studies, an overview of the racial issue in contemporary metropolitan France is constructed in order to analyse the French paradox: despite the persistence of racism in French society, race sociological category is prohibited by the French State.
Media mix and character marketing in Madoka Magica
Authors: Gough Simon
Published: July 2022

This article examines the development of the media franchise Mahō shōjo Madoka magika/Puella Magi Madoka Magica from the perspective of the growth of character media ecologies. Originating as a 2011 anime series, Madoka Magica presented a critically acclaimed narrative featuring a dark, traumatic take on the magical girl genre of media. Outside this narrative context, however, Madoka Magica has developed into a vibrant array of media products, including manga, video games, character merchandising and cross-promotional brand marketing, with little to no reference in these products to the dark context of the chronologically prior characters. Characters who were brutally killed in one context become smiling ambassadors for convenience stores in another; the monsters fought against become cohabiting associates, if not allies, between texts. By focusing on the marketing, proliferation and malleability of the Madoka Magica characters, and the brand’s evident emphasis on the characters’ affective potential outside the narrative context of the original series, this article highlights the multiplicity of characters within the brand’s officially produced media mix. Examining the production of the brand as a totality of products becomes a staging point for future analysis into character marketing more broadly, and the divergent approaches to such marketing across a global context.
Promoting intercultural sensitivity through New Korean Cinema films
Authors: Park Heebon , Finch Andrew
Published: July 2022

This article examines the effectiveness of New Korean Cinema films in promoting intercultural sensitivity among international and indigenous university students, when studied as course content in an interactive, English-mediated, student-centred learning environment. Building on findings regarding the use of films to improve linguistic and cultural awareness, students with various cultural backgrounds and first languages were exposed to traditional, ethnic and modern aspects of Korean culture in New Korean Cinema films, through engaging in research, giving presentations and performing role-plays. Student perceptions and evidence of positive attitude change were accessed through a qualitative approach, triangulating responses to a course questionnaire (based on Bennett’s Developmental Model of Intercultural Sensitivity), a pre/post-course online survey, and a focus-group interview session. Findings indicated that intercultural sensitivity and awareness were noticeably enhanced by the end of the semester; international students found the films stimulating, authentic and informative, and Korean students reported that awareness and appreciation of their cultural heritage was significantly heightened. It is therefore suggested that New Korean Cinema films offer a valuable means of promoting regional and global intercultural understanding, while presenting opportunities for reflection on the rapidly changing nature of Korean culture.
Mao goes pop online: Game art worlds in China
Authors: Jim Alice Ming Wai
Published: July 2022

Among the most significant examples of new media art in China to first receive critical attention are those that tend towards re-engineering early video games while riffing off on aspects of the 1990s’ ‘political pop’ movement. Are these works the product of, or interventions into, the current parameters established for Chinese media, political censorship and game worlds? How might they reflect the fault lines of the growing interest in networked cultures and participatory media in contemporary art and in general? Through personal vignettes and playful moments, this article argues that one of the politico-cultural implications of the Mao Goes Pop art movement going digital concerns the link between digital art’s ‘precarious playbour’, the rise of gaming in Asia, and emergent techno-Orientalist discourses about media art and technologies in China. Since the 1990s, game art by Feng Mengbo (b. 1966) and other artists is introspective of not only the transnational art world but of global media convergence as well.
The Chinese animation blockbuster and Lotus Lantern (1999)
Authors: Chen Shaopeng
Published: July 2022

This article focuses on the Chinese animated film Lotus Lantern (1999), which gains importance in the history of Chinese animation by exploring the possibilities of the domestic animation blockbuster. This article thus provides a view of cinema animation as an important subcategory of Chinese popular culture. The findings of this study can be divided into three parts. First, Lotus Lantern was created under particular historical circumstances; the film undertook two historic missions: one is to resist the pressure from Hollywood competitors and the other is to revitalize Chinese-language animated films. Second, Lotus Lantern inherits and updates the Chinese iconography through the refiguration of classic cartoon figure Sun Wukong, which indicates a more market-oriented and audience-oriented trend in animation creation. Finally, this film borrows Hollywood iconography and techniques for the purpose of replicating Hollywood’s blockbuster practice and creating China’s own animated blockbuster.
Disciplining women in Hong Kong: The discourse of ‘Kong girl’ in the media and daily life
Authors: Lee Tracy K.
Published: July 2022

In the recent decades, ‘Kong girls’ has become a vogue term in the media as well as in daily conversations among youths in Hong Kong. The term, which is more of a negative slang form than a neutral short term of ‘Hong Kong girls’, egregiously refers to young women who supposedly embody Hong Kong values that are dominated by materialism. Thus, it would be interesting from a gendered perspective to tease out the ideological implications of the term: why does it refer universally to young females (all girls in Hong Kong) rather than those with/under specific conditions (such as those with princess syndrome or materialist mindsets)? This article examines the features of ‘Kong girls’ in a mass-media context and compares them with the findings of focus group discussions with local young informants. Although the media helped shape the images of Kong girls and form the stereotypes of the terminology in the society, the content analysis results show inconsistency and tensions with focus group findings. The Kong girl discourse in the media and daily life manifests anxieties and perplexity of young men in Hong Kong, who are facing the crisis of masculinity catalysed by the emerging status of women.

Hyperon is an ideal probe to study the QCD in the region of non-perturbative to perturbative. Using 1.31 × 109 J/ψ and 448.1 × 106 ψ(3686) events, the hyperon anti-hyperon pair production are well studied. The hyperon polarization and its decay parameter have been measured in high precision through their quantum entangle system. By comparing the decay parameters in hyperon and anti-hyperon decays, the CP conservation observables has been measured which is important to test the Standard Model and search for New Physics.
Dressed quark-gluon vertex form factors from gauge symmetry
Authors: El-Bennich Bruno , Serna Fernando , Correa da Silveira Roberto , Albino Fernández Rangel Luis , Bashir Adnan , Rojas Eduardo
Published: July 2022

We present preliminary results on the longitudinal and transverse form factors of the quark-gluon vertex as functions of the incoming and outgoing quark momenta and an angle θ = 2π/3 between them. The expressions for these form factors were previously derived from Slavnov-Taylor identities, gauge covariance and multiplicative renormalizability that firmly constrain the fermion-boson vertex.
Accessing pion GPDs through the Sullivan process: is it feasible?
Authors: Morgado Chávez Jose Mannuel , Bertone Valerio , Defurne Maxime , De Soto Feliciano , Mezrag Cédric , Moutarde Hervé , Rodríguez Quintero José , Segovia Jorge
Published: July 2022

Describing hadronic structure is one of the most intriguing problems in physics. In this respect, generalized parton distributions (GPDs) constitute an outstanding tool, allowing to draw “three dimensional pictures” of hadron’s inside. Starting from contemporary models for pion’s GPDs fulfilling all constraints imposed by QCD, we compute Compton form factors of pions subjected to deeply virtual Compton scattering. We show CFF’s behaviour to be gluon-dominated at EIC’s kinematics. Finally we evaluate lepton-beam-spin asymmetries in the Sullivan process, demonstrating the existence of such and thus triggering optimism about the possibility of probing pion’s 3D structure at electron-ion colliders.

Published: July 2022

O objetivo deste estudo consistiu em propor uma classificação que permita avaliar a qualidade da contagem censitária dos idosos centenários, a partir de determinados indicadores para contingentes populacionais regionais do mundo. Tratou-se de um estudo ecológico, constituído por dados secundários de indivíduos com 100 anos ou mais, residentes em 85 países. Procedeu-se a construção de três indicadores referentes aos centenários. Foi aplicada a técnica multivariada de classificação “cluster analysis” para selecionar grupos de países com características semelhantes e formular intervalos de valores para cada indicador. Finalmente, foram designados cinco escores que determinaram a classificação final. Os resultados apontam que para a boa qualidade dos dados censitários, o fator de desenvolvimento socioeconômico está intrinsicamente relacionado. Portanto, o uso de ferramentas demográficas parece adequado para avaliar os sistemas de informações em saúde e essa classificação poderá favorecer a compreensão do verdadeiro panorama na distribuição dos idosos longevos no mundo.

Sosyal Adaletin Sağlanmasında Katılım Bankacılığının Rolü
Authors: DURMUŞ Hasan , ER Hülya , HARUNOĞULLARI Erdal
Published: July 2022

Dünyada ve Türkiye’de gelir dağılımında adaletsizliğin giderek artmakta olduğu görülmektedir. TÜİK (2019), Türkiye’de, en yüksek gelire sahip %20’lik grubun ülke toplam gelirinden aldığı pay bir önceki yıla göre 1,3 puan azalarak %46,3'e düşerken, en düşük gelire sahip % 20’lik grubun aldığı pay 0,1 puan artarak %6,2'ye yükseldiği görülmektedir. Bankacılık hizmetleri de bu adaletsiz dağılımda büyük rol oynamaktadır. Günümüz bankacılık hizmetleri Friedman (1953)’ın iktisadi faaliyetlerin etik ve normlara göre inşa edilemeyeceği anlayışının bir yansıması olarak kabul edilebilir. Ancak bununla beraber İslam, sosyal ve ekonomik hayatta da bir adalet tesis etmek ister. İslami bankaların bu konudaki rolü elbette tam anlamıyla konvansiyonel bankalardaki gibi olmamalıdır. Katılım bankaları diğer ticari bankalar gibi sadece kârı gözetemezler, bununla birlikte bankaların dağıtıcı adalet rolünü de İslam’a uygun bir şekilde yerine getirmelidirler.
İslami finansın önemli sorunlarından birisi olan toplumsal adalet anlayışına katılım bankalarınca çözüm önermede ve alternatifler oluşturmada yeterince çaba göstermediği göze çarpmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, “Katılım bankalarının ticari hedeflerinin yanı sıra sosyal sorumluluk misyonu da olmalı mıdır?” ve “Ticari hedefleriyle birlikte sosyal sorumluluk misyonunu nasıl bir arada yürüteceklerdir?” sorularına cevap bulmak amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada geniş literatür araştırması yapılmış olup elde edilen bulgular betimsel araştırma yöntemiyle derinlemesine değerlendirilmiştir. Katılım bankalarının uygulamada toplumsal adaleti sağlayabileceği örnekler incelenerek çeşitli öneriler sunulmuştur.

The year 2020 was shaken by the spread of the Covid-19 virus. The viral pandemic occurred has changed the way of life of the world, at least from a social and economic perspective. Predictions of a recession began to emerge as the economy weakened due to the spread of the virus forcing large parts of the population to be laid off. Many businesses experience losses and even go out of business, or at least experience a decline in profits (Brewer, 2020). The economic impact of this disaster is likely to continue for several years to come. Gema Insani is a publishing company in Depok which has been directly affected by the pandemic. A proper marketing strategy is needed so that even if there is a decline in the level of product sales, the decline is still under control or does not cause the company to go out of business. This study aims to analyze the marketing strategies that the Gema Insani company implemented during the pandemic. The research was conducted using qualitative methods and descriptive analysis. It can be concluded from the research results that the applied marketing strategy includes the marketing mix of product aspects, price, place, promotion, people, process and physical evidence. The most dominant aspect in dealing with and adapting to pandemic situation is  promotion aspect, that is by optimizing online marketing and product sales (digital marketing). By optimizing digital marketing, online product sales increased by 30%.

Published: July 2022

In the new era of marketing, companies are forced to be able to create consumer value because today's marketing is driven by values. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the value using the House of Quality (HOQ) matrix which is one of the tools of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) which is commonly used to increase value through product attributes that will be given to consumers. Equipped with a matrix that illustrates how to create value using HOQ, using data from research that the author has previously carried out in identifying consumer values ​​at private universities in Region III Cirebon-West Java as an example.This research uses explanatory survey method with cross sectional development method. The iteration method is used to determine the number of samples, so that a minimum sample of 116 is obtained, but 150 samples will be used so that the results are more representative of the population. The result shows that the indicator that is considered the most important by the respondents is the reputation of the university and the indicator with the lowest rating is the time of completion of studies. However, the results of consumer assessments regarding customer value indicate that the university's reputation is still unable to provide superior customer value. Thus, the reputation of the university is an aspect that must be improved first before other aspects.
