Gender and Ethnicity Bias in Medicine: A Text Analysis of 1.8 Million Critical Care Records
Authors: Markowitz David Matthew
Published: January 2022

Gender and ethnicity biases are pervasive across many societal domains including politics, employment, and medicine. Such biases will facilitate inequalities until they are revealed and mitigated at scale. To this end, over 1.8 million caregiver notes (502 million words) from a large US hospital were evaluated with natural language processing techniques in search of gender and ethnicity bias indicators. Consistent with non-linguistic evidence of bias in medicine, physicians focused more on the emotions of women compared to men and focused more on the scientific and bodily diagnoses of men compared to women. Content patterns were relatively consistent across genders. Physicians also attended to fewer emotions for Black/African and Asian patients compared to White patients, and physicians demonstrated the greatest need to work through diagnoses for Black/African women compared to other patients. Content disparities were clearer across ethnicities, as physicians focused less on the pain of Black/African and Asian patients compared to White patients in their critical care notes. This research provides evidence of gender and ethnicity biases in medicine as communicated by physicians in the field and requires the critical examination of institutions that perpetuate bias in social systems.
“I Didn’t Know Ace Was a Thing”: Bisexuality and Pansexuality as Identity Pathways in Asexual Identity Formation
Authors: Winer Canton , Carroll Megan , Yang Yuchen , Linder Katherine , Miles Brittney
Published: January 2022

Identity formation for asexual people can be complicated by limited societal awareness of asexualities. Consequently, people who eventually identify as asexual often adopt other sexual identities in their early lives. In this paper, we extend sexual identity development theory by analyzing the identity trajectories of asexual people who once identified as bisexual or pansexual. Quantitative data suggests that about half of asexual respondents once identified as bisexual or pansexual and a third closely associate with bisexual or pansexual terminology. Qualitative data supports these findings, revealing that bisexuality, pansexuality, and asexuality are not always seen as mutually exclusive categories by asexual individuals. We argue that the intelligibility of bi-/pansexuality positions them as identity pathways for many asexual individuals who experience equal (albeit little to no) attractions toward men and women.
Modeling poultry and maize sector interactions in Southern Africa under a changing climate
Authors: Mensah Charles , Enahoro Dolapo
Published: January 2022

•This study explores how regional-level interactions of livestock and crop sectors influence the capacity of a southern Africa sub-region to meet its future demand for livestock-derived foods. •It uses a spatial equilibrium modeling framework to simulate regional trade in poultry and maize products in Malawi, Mozambique, South Africa, and Zambia. •Model outputs on the demand, production, and trade of poultry products and maize are compared for a baseline and an alternative future scenario representing drought conditions.•The study’s abstraction of a regional approach to livestock and feed sector interactions in the selected region highlights the role of markets in addressing cross-boundary challenges related to food demand expansion and resource management.•Results imply that the study countries could benefit from addressing their growing demands for livestock-derived foods using a harmonized approach. Further, regional livestock markets may offer cushioning effects to the impacts of climate change in at least one of the countries.•However, improved quality data and an enhanced specification of the analytical model to better account for the nuances of livestock and feed trade in the region and for varied scenarios of future climate change will be needed, to extend the current study to practical policy application.
Race- and Gender-Based Underrepresentation of Creative Contributors: Art, Fashion, Film, and Music
Authors: Topaz Chad M. , Higdon Jude , Epps-Darling Avriel , Siau Ethan , Karkhoff Harper , Mendiratta Shivani , Young Eric
Published: January 2022

Motivated by the well-established benefits to society of artistic creation and of demographic diversity, we investigate the gender and racial/ethnic composition of influential contributors to four creative domains. Women make up 51% of the U.S. population but are underrepresented at influential levels of contemporary art (28%), high fashion (45%), box office film (27%), and popular music (17%). Marginalized racial/ethnic groups make up 39% of the U.S. population yet comprise approximately half that figure in contemporary art (22%), high fashion (22%), and box office film (19%). Black musical artists have higher representation (48%), though higher representation does not equate with equity and inclusion. As for intersecting identities, white men are overrepresented in all four domains by factors ranging from 1.4 to 2 as compared to the U.S. population, and most other gender-racial/ethnic groups are further minoritized. Our study is the first comprehensive, comparative, empirical look at intersecting identities across creative fields. The exclusion of marginalized individuals, including those who are women, American Indian / Alaska Native, Asian, Black, Latinx, and Native Hawaiian / Pacific Islander, is severe. The lack of self-expressed demographic data is a challenge, as is the erasure of certain identity groups from the American Community Survey, including agender, gender noncomforming, nonbinary, and transgender individuals. These are challenges that, if addressed, would enhance our collective understanding of diversity in creative fields.
Current US approaches to counter-terrorism
Authors: Manoilo A.V.
Published: January 2022

The fight against terrorism in the United States today is one of the priority areas for ensuring national security. Counterterrorism is carried out by US ministries and departments in close coordination and interaction with each other, with the wide involvement of the resources of various public associations and civil society structures. At the same time, the activity of US law enforcement agencies to counter terrorism at the federal level (in the US executive branch) is largely decentralized and is carried out mainly by the forces of five key ministries and departments: the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Justice, the Department of the Treasury and the United States Postal Service; moreover, the US Department of Homeland Security plays the role of a system integrator – an «umbrella structure», which brought together under its leadership various departments and services involved in the fight against terrorism (except for the CIA and the FBI). The American strategy of combating terrorism is based on the principles of inevitability of punishment, «no negotiations and concessions», and pressure on countries that, to one degree or another, «support» terrorism. In general, the system of combating terrorism in the United States is modern and meets the latest realities, challenges and threats in this area. It is constantly being improved and reformed, increasing its effectiveness. At the same time, modern terrorism, responding to new forms and methods of struggle, is constantly evolving, striving to adapt to the new conditions of its existence; the emergence of its new, evolutionarily more advanced, structurally more complex forms requires new organizational and technological solutions from the US counterterrorism system.
Internet communications of Russian political parties in the current election cycle: results of oculometric analysis of the network content

Published: January 2022

The article presents the results of a study of Internet communications of Russian political parties at the start of a new electoral cycle in 2021. The research is interdisciplinary in nature and based on the following methodological approaches: post-behaviorism, implicit cognitive science, Predictor Mining. The empirical strategy includes a combination of methods: SMA, eye tracking and focus group interviews. During the implementation of the oculometric analysis, a protocol developed for evaluating the productivity of a combination of psychosemantic procedures and computer registration of a person's gaze during the 2018 election campaigns was selected to build a battery of visual stimuli. As a result of the study, the following features of respondents' perception of the Internet content of political parties are recorded: the main line of spectral opposition in the views of the Russian electorate is associated with the antagonism of such political parties as “United Russiа” and “Yabloko”; to a greater extent, at the time of the study, the electorate of “new parties” that achieved success in the regional elections in 2020 is mobilized; the reliance of “new” political parties on public opinion leaders becomes one of the basic tools for implementing their electoral tasks, etc. The proposed in the study methodology for attestation of Internet content can be in demand by political parties to improve the content and psychotechnological characteristics of their information flows in social media. The use of the developed methodology for applying oculometric analysis for the certification of Internet content will allow party actors to improve the targeting technology in cooperation with the electorate.
Opposition potential of Russians’ civil participation: results of the cluster analysis
Authors: Dombrovskaya A.Yu. , Sinyakov A.V.
Published: January 2022

The basic research question of the undertaken empirical analysis is the question of the relationship between loyalism and oppositionism, activeness and passivity in the process of forming strategies for civic participation of Russians. Within the framework of the theoretical review that precedes the applied analysis, the authors systematize a significant layer of special studies on the concept, essence, factors of formation and typology of strategies for civic participation. On this basis, the author's method of empirical research of Russian civic activism is proposed. The basic method for collecting factual data is the All-Russian Mass Survey of Russians, represented by territory of residence, gender and age of respondents (N = 1600 people). The clustering method (K-means, SPSS Statistics 26.0) of the survey database identified 12 types of civic participation of Russians. Two indicators for the typology were used: the intensity of civic participation and the modality of the attitude towards the current government. Significant results of the study are the identification of the proportion of representatives of each cluster and the establishment of the relationship between belonging to the type of civic participation and the value and socio-demographic characteristics of Russians. It has been established that the oppositional attitude of Russians' civic attitudes is associated with their pragmatic guidelines, striving for liberal values, high readiness to participate in political and civic actions in online and offline formats, perception of civic activity as a platform free from state participation. The study shows the absolute dominance of a detached neutral position with a relatively insignificant spread of active loyalist and critical positions in the society of the Russian Federation. On the one hand, this indicates the absence of a high potential for protest activity in Russian society. On the other hand, a rather small share of active loyalists in Russian society can limit public consolidation around the official course of the current government. As a research perspective, the author substantiates the need for cybermetric measurement (using big data tools) to support the Russian user audience of external and internal protest-oriented disintegrating information flows, and the degree of approval of constructive consolidating flows aimed at the formation of loyalist sentiments in society, as well as dynamic and discursive characteristics. these information flows.
Political identity and social media ethics in nowadays America
Authors: Pinyugina E.V.
Published: January 2022

The article analyzes the ethics of social networks and its relationship with political identity. Two dimensions of the ethics of social networks are identified – the ethics of users and the ethics of platform owners. Using the example of political communication and the actions of social networks during the US protests in 2020, the transition from a procedural ethics based on ensuring freedom of speech and the equivalence of all types of identity to an ethics of protecting oppressed classes and groups is considered. The trends of different ethical assessments and reactions of users and owners of social networks in the same situations in the same political context, arbitrary denial of equal access to political communication to users and politicians due to disapproval of their political identity are revealed. Such ethics are not universal, are applied selectively and can damage the democratic foundations of any society, especially in the context of the growing unlimited power of the owners of communication platforms.
Local voting in Russia: a spatial-econometric approach
Authors: Korneeva E.M.
Published: January 2022

The article presents theoretical and methodological foundations for the application of the spatial-econometric approach in electoral processes. The analysis based on spatial-econometric approach that underlies an assumption about interdependence of processes occurring in adjacent objects. Theoretical framework of research is devoted to social-political assumptions that allow to explore the existence of interdependence of political processes occurring in neighboring objects. Empirical research is accomplished on local constituencies data from all parliamentary elections that took place in Russia in 1995–2016. The research involves addressing the concept of spatial autocorrelations – Moran, Geary and Getis – Ord indices. The research focuses on issue about the degree of spatial differences between regional and local voting. The results of research demonstrate that there is a high spatial interdependence in local voting in Russia. A comparative analysis of spatial autocorrelation on local and regional levels demonstrates that the municipal districts are most prone to spatial interdependence. This finding allows to trace a hidden tendences on local level of elections. Such differences between local and regional spatial autocorrelation identify that regional political regime can be an obstacle on the way of restraining the territorial distribution of local communities with similar electoral behavior. Finally, the research proves that the role of place is significant in Russian electoral space.
Digital sovereignty for Europe in the context of global data governance
Authors: Shevchenko Yan
Published: January 2022

The European Union (EU) has been advocating a strategy to assert its digital sovereignty for a relatively long period of time. This attempt, however, runs up against a range of obvious problems and obstacles, such as a united Europe’s dependence on foreign technologies and services and the inadequacy of investments made to support its industrial policy (in particular in the digital sphere). The EU is trying to overcome these problems with an ambitious strategy, the “European strategy for data”, which will enable the Union to navigate in an international context characterized by a substantial lack of a global data governance system, but the efficiency and effectiveness of the strategy can only be assessed in a few years' time. According to the author of this paper’s point of view, to achieve its policy objectives, the EU must pay attention to safeguarding the competitiveness of its companies, pursuing policies that, in defending the right to privacy and security of European users, are clear and harmonized. At the same time, the EU must implement policies that are able to redistribute the wealth produced in the digital field, countering the current dangerous concentrations of wealth and power in the hands of a few oligopolistic companies.
Network approach in legislative studies: methodological prospects for qualitative and quantitative analysis of parliamentary activity
Authors: Pomiguev I.A. , Fomin Ivan , Maltsev A.M.
Published: January 2022

The paper provides extensive methodological discussion of the network approach to legislative studies and gives an overview to different methods and techniques that show great promise to the research of parliamentary politics. The key points of the proposed network theoretical framework are the informal interactions and collaborations of actors and their respective groups, that are tied by linkages of trust and mutual interests. We also keep the focus on the influence of the nodes (MPs) which is being accumulated due to the access to various resources, performance, and individual interests. This article also suggests description of the public data used to reveal the networks of legislative co-sponsorship, which is the well-developed method of legislative studies. In this context we also review some other approaches to obtain information about the ties between the MPs, that have been suggested in the academic literature: the voting data, personal interactions revealed by the interviews, range of connections in the online social networks, official mail, public speech, and others. We show that the network analysis appears to be very insightful for the legislative studies because it allows to perceive parliaments as the “small worlds” each with its own highly institutionalized composition of nodes and ties. We also argue that it is critical to take into consideration the influence of several exogenic forces – voters, the public, and other authorities on the MPs persistent interactions and the respective network structure of the parliament. Finally, we propose two methodological solutions to the research of complex network structures. We debate on the potential implications of the discourse-network analysis in legislative studies. It provides the opportunity to map the advocacy coalitions and model the relations between the nodes, which are based on the similarities and differences of their ideas in the public speeches. We also discuss the potential of the inferential network analysis in regard to the quantitative research in legislative studies. Specifically, we provide a critical review of the modern studies of the innerparliamentary networks, that are based on ERGMs and their variations (SAOM and TERGM). We show that dyadic interactions between the MPs and political parties can be modeled taking into account both individual covariates (exogenous and endogenous) and network parameters of the current structure of parliament as a whole.

Authors: Nosikov Andrei
Published: January 2022

Extrapolating the network approach to the socio-political process as a whole, the article analyzes the phenomenon of connection of network space and political reality, characterized by the mutual influence and interdependence of the phenomena occurring in both areas. There are four main interfaces (public space, institutional outputs, direct action, radical action) of interaction between the network space and the political system. The author substantiates the significance of the phenomenon of connection as a determinant of the modern political process, identifies the main indicators of connection, anticipating significant changes in the political landscape. In conclusion, the author points out both the risks of connection, new challenges for today’s political institutions, and the emergence of new windows of opportunities for the modernization of socio-political institutions. Nine political designs are modeled based on conjugation connection.
Political conflict interactions of urban communities: network aspects
Authors: Glukhova A.V. , Kolba A.I. , Sokolov A.V.
Published: January 2022

The article deals with the problems of network interactions of urban communities in the context of political conflicts. The theoretical foundations of the study are developed in line with the theory of political networks. In particular, the concept of “heterarchies” is used to describe interactions in the course of conflicts between hierarchical and network structures. The explanatory model proposed by the authors is also focused on the components of the network approach, revealing the mechanisms and ways of shaping the political agenda and making decisions using the potential of political networks. In addition, an analysis of the impact of network interactions on the development of urban communities was carried out. The empirical component of the article is based on the results of research conducted by the authors in three large regional centers of the Russian Federation in 2019– 2020. The 2019 study was conducted in the format of semi-structured expert interviews with leaders of urban communities in Voronezh, Krasnodar and Yaroslavl. In 2020, an expert survey was conducted in the same cities. In total, 34 experts were interviewed, representing urban communities, authorities, research centers, business structures, etc. Based on the results of the research, conclusions were drawn about the empowerment of urban communities to participate in decision-making at the municipal level within the framework of network relations, as well as the prevalence of a constructive approach to interactions with opponents in political conflict processes. At the same time, limiting their influence on decision-making processes to the role of the “attentive public”, which is observed at the present time, can contribute to the expansion of destructive, in particular, protest forms of political activity.
Global alternative public on Instagram: SNA-based case study of blogs about migration in Russian language
Authors: Smolyarova A.S.
Published: January 2022

The article examines the foreign Russian-language blogosphere on Instagram through the lenses of the public sphere theory. The study revealed active cooperation of bloggers living in different countries during coverage of the coronavirus pandemic in March-April 2020. More than 4,000 Russian-speaking Instagram users commenting on posts became members of the networked publics because of this cooperation, the audience coverage of the most popular bloggers exceeded the threshold of one hundred thousand subscribers. Bloggers who initiated contributory publications on the situation with COVID-19 in their countries were points of crystallization of public discussions for people with migration experience, who are often excluded from the national public spheres of both their home countries and countries of residence. By inviting their subscribers to get acquainted with the situation in different countries, bloggers have formed a global arena that arises at the intersection of online public groups that have developed around bloggers. The main mechanism for creating such an arena is the cooperation of bloggers aimed at their own promotion and helping other bloggers in opposing the algorithms of the online platform. Collaboration in the form of a one-time publication of posts on the same topic, united by a unique hashtag and including direct links to bloggers from other countries, leads to the emergence of online ad hoc, or situational, global media in Russian. In the arena constituted by ad hoc media, Russian-speaking migrants living in different countries could discuss the measures that states were taking to defeat the pandemic. At the same time, this global networked public remains a “weak public” that has not transformed into a participatory counter-public sphere.

Published: January 2022

It is well known that the main goal of information protection is to ensure a given level of its security. The specified level of information security is characterized by the state of its protection from threats, which provides an acceptable risk of its destruction, alteration, theft, and blocking.

Risks depend on the level of engineering and technical protection of information (ITZI), which is determined by the resources of the system. The more resource for information protection, the higher the level of security. With an unlimited resource, you can get an arbitrarily small probability of a threat being realized.

MODERN PROBLEMS OF APPLYING MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN THE ASPECT OF ECONOMICS
Authors: Khamkhoeva F. , Khautieva Z.
Published: January 2022

The penetration of the mathematical apparatus into the economy created the basis for the development of methods of economic analysis, econometrics, mathematical programming, economic statistics, etc. Today, the interpenetration of different branches of knowledge continues, in particular, the application of mathematical methods in the natural and social sciences and in the economic sphere. Among mathematical methods of data processing are polynomial, linear, quadratic, trigonometric, exponential and combined dependencies, differential and algebraic equations. The statistical processing of data from the evaluation of the structure and dynamics of the phenomenon has gone in the direction of correlation analysis and forecasting. The deep penetration of mathematics into specific sciences and the success achieved through a combination of methods from different branches of knowledge is described by many researchers. The possibilities of applying mathematics are increasingly being explored in areas of knowledge where phenomena are poorly structured and characterized by the high complexity of sociology, political science, management and economics.

Recent marketing research focuses on social media marketing as an essential tool for companies to fully utilise particularly with the increase of online and home-based consumption during pandemic. In particular, the authors hypothesize that online consumer review, social media advertisement and influencers endorsement may affect online purchase intention. The investigation of the hypotheses utilizes a sample of 163 customers who shop for fashion apparel via online platforms during the pandemic. In order to assess the relationships between these variables, the current research used quantitative methods through an online self-administered questionnaire, in which the scale items were derived from existing literature. These results suggest that ‘Online Consumer Review’, ‘Social Media Advertisement’, and ‘Influencer Endorsement’ have a positive and significant correlation with online purchase intention of fashion apparel during pandemic (r = .25; r = .35; r = .48, respectively). The researcher deliberates the implications for marketing research and practice which include addressing the literature gap in understanding online purchase intention of fashion apparel during the pandemic and highlighting the importance of social media marketing for companies to survive in the 21st century of online-based consumption and consumer-oriented social media.
A STUDY ON THE MEDIATING EFFECT OF FoMO ON SOCIAL MEDIA (INSTAGRAM ) INDUCED TRAVEL ADDICTION AND RISK TAKING TRAVEL BEHAVIORAL INTENTION IN YOUTH
Authors: Mohanan Mrudhusha , Kushe Shekhar Suraj
Published: January 2022

The effect of social media on youth is immense. Fear of missing out (FoMO) is a common repercussion found in youth due to extreme usage of social media platforms. They suffer from FoMO in the context of travel and tour. This behavior leads to impulsive travel decisions plus risk-taking travel attitude. The present study examines the impact of Social Media (Instagram) induced Travel Addiction on youth's Risk-Taking Travel Behavioral Intention with FoMO as a mediating variable. An online survey conducted amidst 420 South Indian students revealed that Social Media (Instagram) induced Travel Addiction (SMTA) had a direct positive impact (β = 0.29, p <0.05) on Risk Taking Travel Behavioural Intention (RTTBI). It was also observed that Social Media (Instagram) induced Travel Addiction had a direct positive impact on FoMO (β = 0.58, p <0.05), and FoMO had a direct positive impact (β = 0.19, p <0.05) on Risk-Taking Travel Behaviour Intention. Further, FoMO was also observed to mediate the connection between Social Media (Instagram) induced Travel Addiction and Risk-Taking Travel Behavioural Intention. It is proposed that parents, teachers, and educational institutes regulate risk-taking travel behavior in youth. Furthermore, it is suggested that the youths be provided with coping/resilience strategies to deal with social media addiction. The limitations, implications for future research, and recommendations are also discussed in the paper.
SOCIAL MEDIA AND SUSTAINABLE BEHAVIOR: A DECISION MAKING FRAMEWORK USING INTERPRETIVE STRUCTURAL MODELING(ISM)
Authors: Kumar Jain Vijay , Arya Vikas , Sharma Preeti
Published: January 2022

The growing population and consumer income have led to more consumption activity globally. The increased consumption requires further extraction of resources and pressure on existing resources. The damage effects are reflected in global warming, environmental pollution, and decreased flora fauna. In addition, human activities are perennially damaging the environment. High resource extraction and consumption activity require a more prudent use of resources and product choices. This study attempts to identify and prioritize the potential drivers for sustainable consumption through the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) approach. ISM helps to obtain qualitative data instead of quantifiable factors resulting from modeling. Thirteen drivers of sustainable consumption were finalized after extensive literature review and expert’s consultation. Thirty respondents were sampled to collect data. The relationship between drivers was further established. Incentives, Labeling and Values Norms were the most important drivers of sustainable consumption. The study's findings would help policymakers to develop strategies to promote sustainable consumer practices among millennials. Adopting sustainable consumption would promote green consumption, improve the environment and save valuable resources.
