NEW PRODUCT DESIGN AS PART OF THE DIGITAL FACTORY CONCEPT
Authors: Regodić Dušan
Published: November 2023

The concept of digital production represents the basis for the development of a digital production system, i.e. a digital factory. The digital factory represents the integration of the virtual and real factory. Inside the virtual factory, products, processes and resources are modeled on the basis of real data, which are then tested, improved and optimized through the application of digital production tools. Finally, when the results of the virtual factory are verified and all possible irregularities are removed, they can be applied in the real factory.

The primary goal of this paper is to present the process of designing a new product. The design process is an integral part of the modern digital factory concept. The concept requires full integration of product data, as well as systems for design, planning and production, including the design of technological processes.

Authors: Milanović Vesna , Miletić Vesna
Published: November 2023

Internal marketing is one way to make employees and organizations different from others. In order to differentiate themselves from other actors in the financial sector, financial organizations face the need for competitive differentiation through the implementation of internal marketing. In this regard, previous empirical studies confirmed that the financial sector, especially the banking sector, is the most popular service sector in the context of internal marketing research. According to the above, the purpose of this paper was to present internal marketing, its evolution, application, and role in organizations operating in the financial sector. A preliminary analysis of previous empirical studies conducted in the financial sector showed that researchers used different internal marketing dimensions and tested internal marketing outcomes at different levels. In order to determine the dimensions and outcomes of internal marketing in the financial sector, an analysis of previous studies in this field published in the period from 2015 to the present and stored in Google Scholar base was conducted. The analysis in this paper showed that the most common testing of internal marketing outcomes is at the employee-level as well as the testing of internal marketing dimensions such as (internal) communication, training and development, rewards and other types of compensation, and empowerment of employees.

Published: November 2023

The research topic of this paper is legal communication in non-litigation procedure with the focus on the communication during the hearing process. Legal communication in non-litigation procedure refers to the official procedure of exchange of information in oral or written form that has been planned in advance between the participants in non-litigation procedure. The specificity of legal communication during the hearing process in non-litigation procedure compared to litigation procedure has been emphasized in the paper. The specificity comes from different methods of judicial work, different subject matters of the hearing process, different goals due to which the procedure takes place, different interests to be protected, and different nature and character of both procedures. Contrary to litigation procedure, legal situations that are resolved in non-litigation procedure are those situations, in which parties are not in dispute, that is, in which parties do not have opposing interests. Due to its heterogeneous structure, non-litigation procedure is characterized by numerous specificities that demand a more subtle approach in the realization of different types of this procedure.

The contemporary world financial crisis is characterized by complexity in global effects, which has not been recorded in economic history so far. The crisis originated in the financial sphere, but it spread to the entire real sector and the world economy as a whole. The question is often asked: was the crisis orchestrated or the result of tectonic disturbances in the functioning of the modern neoliberal credit-market system. Entering into the analysis of the world crisis, it is indisputable that the imposed neoliberal and monetarist model experienced its complete collapse, which fundamentally shook the pillars of neoliberal capitalism. Neoliberalism "opened up" national economies and made them vulnerable to the penetration of Western capital, and unprecedented exploitation through the virtual clapboard and dollar, as national and world money without a real basis and cover. With worthless paper, everything was bought around the world and broke the "disobedient, Basically, it is about the creation of "peripheral states and economies in the interest of large financial capital.

In the paper, we analyze the scope of financial regulations, primarily banking supervision, with the aim of assessing possible limitations and effects as well as implications for the financial systems of countries on the way to European integration.

Artificial intelligence in autonomous vehicles aims to ensure the safety of vehicles on public roads. An autonomous vehicle (AV) coordinates complex insight and limitation parts to make a model of its general surroundings, which is then used to explore the vehicle securely. Ai (ml) based models are unavoidably utilized in these parts to extricate objects in- arrangement from uproarious sensor information. The prerequisites for these parts are essentially set to accomplish as high as could really be expected. With current avs conveying numerous sensors (cameras, radars, and lidar), handling every one of the pieces of information in constant prompts engineers making compromises which may bring about a less than ideal framework in specific driving circumstances. Because of the absence of exact necessities on individual components, secluded testing and approval additionally becomes challenging. In this paper, we plan the issue of determining stomach muscle extract world model precision required for safe av conduct from high level driving situation recreations. This is computationally costly as the world model can contain a large number of objects with a few credits and an av extricates a world model each time-step during the reproduction. We depict ways to deal with effectively address the issue and infer part level necessities and tests.

Published: November 2023

Ferragut, gigante sarraceno defensor de Nájera, protagoniza en el Pseudo Turpín uno de los capítulos cruciales para la consagración de Roldán como combatiente cristiano. No obstante, la crónica latina no reproduce de forma mimética el comportamiento y la morfología propios de este tipo de guerreros en los documentos épicos; también le atribuye aspectos innovadores que ciertos textos en lengua vernácula matizan o modifican en profundidad, enriqueciéndolos incluso con episodios inexistentes en la fuente latina o con la creación de personajes adicionales.

Mediterranean Europe: Pilgrims and warriors, warrior pilgrims
Authors: Vetere Benedetto
Published: November 2023

El artículo analiza en primer lugar la relación entre espacio, tiempo y peregrinación en el interior “de los diversos estratos y clases sociales”. De estas consideraciones deriva ante todo la neta división entre, por un lado, la peregrinación del mundo rural, vinculada a la producción de la tierra, y por eso religiosa, y por otro, la peregrinación de la sociedad urbana, del comerciante relacionado con las manufacturas, y por lo tanto laica. Asimismo, se aborda la peregrinación judicial, que se difundió especialmente en el Flandes del siglo XIV. En segundo lugar, el espacio se define geográfica y culturalmente como mediterráneo, determinado por el carácter universal de la religión cristiana. Por último, el autor aborda la unidad del “espacio cristiano” a lo largo de los siglos y su repercusión sobre las peregrinaciones a partir del siglo XI, cuando el enfrentamiento con los árabes y la defensa de la unidad de la Iglesia concretaron la idea de la Guerra Santa. En esta época, la inseguridad en los Caminos terrestres y marítimos que conducían a las metas de la peregrinación determinaron la aparición de las Órdenes monástico-caballerescas, con la novedad del monacus-miles y del cruzado, fenómeno analizado en los textos de Guillermo de Tiro, en el Liber ad milites Templi de Bernardo de Claraval, y en la Chanson de Roland.

Ferragut, the giant Saracen defender of Nájera, was a leading character in one of the key chapters of the Pseudo Turpin for the consecration of Roland as a Christian warrior. Nevertheless, the Latin chronicle does not simply reproduce such a warrior’s characteristic behaviour and morphology as expressed in other epic poems: it also provides him with various innovative features which certain vernacular texts qualify or modify in depth, even enriching them with episodes that are not to be found in the Latin source, and by creating additional characters.

From Valencia to Querétaro. Devotion to Saint James through an illustration by Vicente Capilla Gil
Authors: Cacheda Barreiro Rosa , Ruiz Cuevas Karina
Published: November 2023

The conquest of the city of Querétaro (Mexico), on 25 July 1531, on the feast day of Saint James, is commemorated in an illustration by a Valencian engraver, Vicente Capilla Gil, produced in 1792. The coincidence in the date of the two events led to a miraculous happening being recorded in the illustration: the appearance of the Holy Cross in the sky together with the Apostle, Patron Saint of Spain. This in turn led to the extension of the cult of Saint James and devotion to the Holy Cross throughout the ViceRoyalty of New Spain, and one of the main mission schools is named after it: Santa Cruz de Querétaro. The work done by the Franciscan Brothers in the context of missions is highlighted in an exemplary way in the illustration. The virtues and deeds of Brother Antonio Llinaz and Brother Antonio Marfil, of Spanish origin, as founders of the school, evangelists and apostle of Christ are underlined in the illustration.

Poremos o feito peregrinatorio xacobeo en relación co poder pontificio e a comunicación mantida por diversos pontífices coa Igrexa de Santiago acerca de diversas cuestións relacionadas coa peregrinación compostelá. Unha peregrinación que se foi configurando e fixando de forma paulatina co devir do Medievo, e que se entrecruza con diversas disposicións emanadas do pontificado, o que nos permitirá profundar na súa caracterización e nalgunhas das súas liñas evolutivas.
Von Belin, einem Rätsel am Jakobsweg, von der Begräbnisliste des Pseudo- Turpin und von Herzog Naimes
Authors: Beckmann Trier Gustav Adolf
Published: November 2023

Según el Pseudo Turpín (PT, alrededor de 1150), las víctimas francas de Roncesvalles fueron enterradas en Blaye, Arles, Burdeos y, sorprendentemente, en Belin, un pequeño pueblo a unos 40 km al sur de Burdeos. El presente artículo examina tres cuestiones: 1) ¿Qué vio el PT en Belin?, 2) ¿En qué principios se basó para distribuir a los guerreros en los diferentes lugares? y 3) ¿Qué predestinó al pequeño Belin para su papel en la tradición? 1) En Belin, el PT adoptó una tradición local (probablemente bastante rudimentaria) de que cierto túmulo era la tumba de las víctimas de Roncesvalles. Esta tradición, sin embargo, cayó en el olvido poco después del PT, posiblemente porque el túmulo fue destruido durante la construcción del castillo de Belin o, en todo caso, porque la tradición llegó a un conflicto infructuoso, a) en cuanto a Oliveros, con la tradición de Blaye que rápidamente se consolidaba y era más atrayente, reclamando por entonces también a Oliveros, y b) en cuanto a otros héroes, con lo que se narraba en sus propias canciones de gesta). 2) El PT distribuyó los enterramientos según unos principios muy simples reconocidos hasta la fecha sólo en parte: sobre la tumba de Roldán en Blaye, el PT no podía ignorar una tradición que en aquel entonces ya se había establecido únicamente para Roldán (todavía no para Oliveros, menos aún Turpín); Belin recibió a los guerreros cuya patria, en opinión del PT, seguía estando tan lejana que los supervivientes, perdidas las esperanzas de trasladar los cuerpos en descomposición hasta allí, decidieron un entierro conjunto de urgencia – una idea que también justifica la sencilla forma de la “tumba” que vio. El resto de los cadáveres se distribuyeron entre los dos cementerios con mayor fama de Francia, en Arles y en Burdeos, según estuvieran más próximos a la patria de cada guerrero. De acuerdo con esto, el duque Naimo fue enterrado en Arles, ya que para el autor del PT, Naimo era “de Baviera”, no “de Bayona”.
Utilizing Autoencoders for Analysis and Classification of Microscopic in Situ Hybridization Images
Authors: Yanev Aleksandar , Momcheva Galina , Pavlov Stoyan
Published: November 2023

Currently, analysis of microscopic In Situ Hybridization (ISH) images is done manually by experts. Precise evaluation and classification of such microscopic images can ease experts' work and reveal further insights about the data. In this work, we propose a deep-learning workflow to detect and classify areas of microscopic images with similar levels of gene expression. Analysis of the data is done by employing a type of ANN – Deep Learning Autoencoders – suitable for unsupervised learning. The model's performance is optimised by balancing the latent layers' length and complexity and fine-tuning hyperparameters. The results are validated by adapting the mean-squared error (MSE) metric and comparison to expert's evaluation. Reconstruction of the whole-scale microscopic images is used to summarise and visualise the results.
Optimized MobileNetV3: a deep learning-based Parkinson’s disease classification using fused images
Authors: Pechetti Sukanya , Rao Battula Srinivasa
Published: November 2023

Background and Objective

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological condition that manifests motor and non-motor symptoms. Early in the course of the disease, PD patients frequently experience vocal difficulties. In the beginning, preprocessing procedures were used with multi-focus image fusion to enhance the quality of input images. It is essential to diagnose and treat PD early to ensure that patients live healthy and productive lives.

Methods

Tremors, rigidity in the muscles, slow movement, difficulty balance, and other psychological symptoms are some of the disease’s symptoms. One of the critical mechanisms supporting PD identification and assessment is the dynamics of handwritten records. Several machine-learning techniques have been researched for the early detection of this disease. Yet the main problem with most of these manual feature extraction methods is their poor performance and accuracy.

Results

This cannot be acceptable when discovering such a chronic condition. For this purpose, a powerful deep learning model is suggested to help with the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. Therefore, we proposed MobileNetV3-based classification. To enhance the classification performances even more, the MobileNetV3-based approach was optimized by the Improved Dwarf Mongoose Optimization algorithm (IDMO).

Conclusion

The Pyramid channel-based feature attention network (PCFAN) chooses the critical features. The efficiency of the approaches is tested using the PPMI and NTUA datasets. Our proposed approach obtains 99.34% accuracy, 98.53% sensitivity, 97.78% specificity, and 99.12% F-score compared to previous methods.
Visual Impairment as a Learning Disability in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Narrative Review
Authors: Sant Namrata , Bhavar Vaishnavi A , Nand Smita A , Joshi Gauri R , Runwal Sakshi
Published: November 2023

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a group of non-progressive brain disorders causing movement, posture, and motor function impairments. Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) affects visual pathways, affecting clarity of vision, visual fields, and occulomotor incoordination. Symptoms vary in nature and severity due to the complexity of the visual cortex. Physiotherapy (PT) is essential for treating CP, promoting physical, mental, and social well-being. Physical therapists also teach parents, how to care for their children at home, including feeding, bathing, dressing, and other activities. CVI is often linked to CP and can lead to various visual problems, including reduced visual guidance of movement. To effectively manage this condition, a multidisciplinary approach is required, as children with CVI often have neurological deficits in addition to their visual problems. Visual function assessment involves measuring thresholds or limits for each eye, while functional vision assessment is conducted in the child’s environment with both eyes open. Levels of vision can be classified into light perception, intermittent fixation, reliable focus, constant attention to small objects, and reliable visual acuity. Children with Visual Difficulties (CVI) exhibit distinct visual behaviours and require proper training. Sensory room training improves gross and fine motor abilities, and early intervention reduces issues associated with these diseases. Physical therapy interventions are very important for this population’s health and wellness, which can be focused on acquiring and improving independence in motor abilities, visual function, coordination, balance and general health improvement. Children with CVI are at danger of developing neurological dysfunction. An early intervention and adequate training for young CP children with CVI can improve motor abilities and reduce issues associated with these diseases. The following review will help to understand briefly about visual impairments in patients with CP, mainly focusing on new therapeutic interventions following visual impairments that are effective and easily administered.
Gender-wise Distribution of Cardiovascular Risk and Its Correlation with Dietary Intake, Physical Activity, and Perceived Stress: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Zenab Ambrin , Kacker Sudhanshu , Saboo Neha , Kumar Munesh
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are a group of disorders affecting the heart and blood vessels, including Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease, peripheral artery disease, congenital heart disease, and pulmonary embolism. CVDs contribute to approximately 17.9 million deaths worldwide each year. Risk factors for CVDs can be classified as non modifiable (such as age, gender, ethnicity, and family history) and modifiable (such as obesity, dyslipidaemia, diabetes, hypertension, stress, poor diet, and physical inactivity). Men are more susceptible to CVDs than women. The QRISK3 risk score is an algorithm used to predict an individual’s 10 year risk of developing CVDs. Aim: To assess the distribution of CVD risk among men and women aged 30-70 years using the QRISK3 risk score and its correlation with dietary intake, physical activity, and perceived stress. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Physiology at RUHS-CMS and Associated Hospitals in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. The study duration was six months, from July 2022 to December 2022. A total of 220 subjects, aged 30-70 years, of both sexes were recruited from the Outpatient Department (OPD) of Medicine, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The QRISK3 web calculator was used to calculate the CVD risk, which was then correlated with the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ). Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square test for qualitative analysis, and Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to assess correlations. Results: The mean age of the study participants (males) was 42.75±10.86 years and (females) was 42.82±10.85 years. A total of 220 participants (123 males and 97 females) aged between 30-70 years were included in the study. Among the males, 90 (73.17%) had low CVD risk, 15 (12.19%) had moderate risk, and 18 (14.63%) had high risk. Among the females, 83 (85.57%) had low risk, 9 (9.28%) had moderate risk, and 5 (5.15%) had high risk. There was a significant association between the QRISK3 risk score and gender (χ2 =6.14, df=218, p=0.04). Males showed a stronger association with the QRISK3 risk score compared to females within different age groups. Significant positive correlations were observed between the QRISK3 score and FFQ (r=0.28) and PSS (0.42). Additionally, a significant negative correlation was found between the QRISK3 score and GPAQ (-0.24). Conclusion: The QRISK3 score calculator was found to be useful in assessing the 10-year risk of developing CVDs in males and females across different age groups. The association between CVD risk and various scores suggests that perceived stress is strongly correlated with CVD risk.

Introduction: Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) poses life-threatening risks in pregnancy, leading to adverse perinatal and maternal outcomes. Aim: To estimate the incidence of Pregnancy-Related Acute Kidney Injury (PRAKI) and describe maternal and foetal outcomes in cases of Acute Renal Failure (ARF) at a tertiary care institute. Materials and Methods: A prospective descriptive study was conducted on 104 antenatal women with ARF attending King George Hospital, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India, from January to December 2020. A total of 7,409 deliveries occurred during the study period, and antenatal women with evidence of pre-existing renal disease were excluded. A detailed history was obtained, and evaluation included renal function tests and a total abdominal scan. Mode of delivery, foetal deaths, stillbirths, maternal deaths, and APGAR scores were analysed. Laboratory findings were also reported. Data analysis was performed using coGuide statistical software, and results were expressed in terms of frequency and percentages. Results: The incidence of PRAKI was 14 per 1,000 deliveries (1.4%). The mean age of the participants was 24.05±4.11 years. The majority (78 out of 104, 75%) were in the third trimester. Out of the 104 cases of PRAKI, 77 (74%) were due to hypertension. There were 16 (15.4%) maternal deaths and 19 (21.8%) perinatal deaths. Conclusion: Pregnant women with ARF experienced increased morbidity and mortality. Urgent improvements in antenatal care, early detection of complications, effective management, and timely referrals to tertiary centres are crucial.

Values for various variables were; education level of the mother (P=0.002), age(P=0.03, OR=1.26), monthly income (P=0.044, OR=1.622), Number of ANC visits(P=0.000), knowledge on IFAS (P=0.023), knowledge on anemia (P=0.005), knowledge of anemia causes (P=0.000), knowledge of effects of anemia in pregnancy (P=0.000), Being anemic during pregnancy (P=0.000; OR=3.35) IFAS accessibility (P= 0.019) and challenges faced when acquiring the supplements (P=0.03). Some of the challenges listed were late ANC attendance 57.1%, side effects 53.4%, forgetfulness 32.4%, long distance to the facility 59.4%, and stockouts 29.9%. Anemia was found to be high at 69.4%.

Conclusions: Iron folic acid supplementation was low. Anemia prevalence was high. Individual factors associated with adherence were education level, antenatal visits, knowledge of the supplements, knowledge of anemia, knowledge of the effects of anemia, and being anemic. Health system factors associated with adherence were the availability of IFAS and experience of challenges during antenatal clinic visits.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that results in impaired child growth. To reduce the prevalence of stunting, preventive action is needed, in this case in the form of maternal behavior in efforts to prevent stunting in the family. The Samarinda City Government is committed to carrying out integrated actions to accelerate the reduction in the number of stunting cases through the community development and empowerment program (Pro Bebaya) especially in rural areas. Awareness of farming households, especially women farmers, in taking action to prevent stunting is very important. This research aims to provide an overview of the behavior of women farmers as a form of awareness in efforts to prevent stunting in farming families through their knowledge about stunting, providing exclusive breast milk, complementary food, and a clean and healthy lifestyle (PHBS), attitudes and actions taken to prevent it. stunting which then creates awareness for preventing stunting in farming families. The design of this research is cross-sectional. The total sample of 59 was selected purposively, namely female farmers, and farmer's wives who have children aged 0-2 years) who are active in posyandu activities. The data analysis method used descriptive associative analysis and bivariate Spearman Rank Correlation. The results of the research show that there wasis a very weak and unidirectional correlation (-) between age, working status, and the number of children in women farmers' awareness of preventive action against stunting, while the relationship was very weak in the same direction (+) only with the education factor. The relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and stunting prevention actions on women farmers' awareness of preventive actions showed a strong and significant correlation at 0.01.

Aims/Objectives: To develop an intuitive guide for enhanced students' understanding of the classical one-dimensional wave equation, bridging the gap between theoretical derivations and practical applications. The focus was on understanding wave propagation by modeling the elastic properties of a beam structure as a one-dimensional string.Study Design: The study employed foundational principles and theoretical derivations, and extended into the application of Fourier series techniques to elucidate concepts not typically covered in engineering mathematical textbooks.Methodology: Analytical and numerical methods were utilised to reinforce critical concepts, making abstract ideas tangible for students. Numerical analysis aids in understanding the theory by demonstrating the evolution of wave patterns, aligning with the analytical solution.Results: The comparison of analytical and numerical solutions revealed that different time step values (\(\Delta\)\(\mathit{t}\)) in uence the numerical solution only by shifting the function, \(\mathit{f}\) (\(\mathit{x}\)), in amplitude, but its shape and agreement with the analytical solution was maintained.
Conclusion: This research showcased how innovative teaching techniques, combining analytical and numerical methods, can be used to enhance students' understanding of mathematical theory and its applications in engineering.

O presente artigo objetiva problematizar os efeitos da nomeação do programa de extensão universitária “Clínica Feminista na Perspectiva da Interseccionalidade”. Colocando em questão o nome e sobrenome do programa, o artigo traz uma reflexão acerca do que seria uma clínica dita feminista, atentando para a não universalização da categoria ‘mulher’, ancorado em uma perspectiva descolonial. Nesta direção, o conceito de interseccionalidade é fundamental à leitura da conexão entre distintas estruturas de opressão na escuta das mulheres em situação de violência de gênero. Já o vocábulo Clínica alude ao arranjo grupal do qual temos nos valido e aponta as possibilidades de acionar o caráter coletivo dos processos de subjetivação. Desse modo, buscamos afirmar uma prática clínica entendida como necessariamente política, na medida em que comprometida com a desconstrução das opressões limitantes – impostas pelo nosso tempo – às possibilidades de existência.
GÊNERO AMEAÇANDO E GÊNERO AMEAÇADO: E ONDE FICAM A COLONIALIDADE E A RAÇA NESTA HISTÓRIA?
Authors: Rea Caterina Alessandra
Published: November 2023

O texto apresenta o contexto dos ataques à categoria de gênero movidos por movimentos e atores sociais ultraconservadores através do lema ‘ideologia de gênero’, e as críticas elaboradas no campo feminista que apontam para o gênero como um valioso instrumento de desnaturalização da ordem dos sexos e das sexualidades (Garbagnoli, 2015, Garbagnoli; Prearo, 2017). Porém, a defesa desta categoria não pode se passar da concomitante discussão sobre raça, colonialidade, classe e outras relações de poder, conforme reivindicam os feminismos decoloniais e a crítica queer of color.

Environment and Urbanization
Authors: Clement Matthew Thomas
Published: November 2023

While sociologists have long recognized the biophysical dimensions of city life and urbanization, this discussion had been overshadowed by a concern with environmental change in rural areas. Since the late twentieth century, however, attention has shifted, and there have been several theoretical and empirical studies examining the links between urbanization, city life, and the natural environment. In this research, there are two broad scopes for analysis, one that sees urbanization and cities as drivers of environmental change and another that sees cities as sites of environmental change. While the latter has a much longer lineage in sociology, more space is given here to review the former. Nevertheless, recent scholarship has also been arguing for a middle ground that synthesizes the two scopes; in this way, cities are seen as both sites and drivers of environmental change.
Gender Ideology
Authors: Kroska Amy
Published: November 2023

Gender ideology refers to beliefs regarding the appropriate roles, rights, and responsibilities of women and men in society. The beliefs are typically conceptualized as unidimensional, ranging from traditional to egalitarian, with traditional ideologies emphasizing the value, appropriateness, and inherence of distinctive roles for women and men, and egalitarian ideologies endorsing gender equality and the value of shared roles. Recent work, however, suggests the beliefs are multidimensional, varying along three dimensions: gender essentialism, male primacy, and normative role imperatives. Gender ideology antecedents include gender and education, with women and the educated reporting more liberal beliefs. In postindustrialized countries, parents' gender liberalism, father's housework and childcare time, mother's education, mother's employment, women's employment, and men's wives' employment increase gender liberalism, while age, church attendance, and religious fundamentalism reduce it. In African countries, Internet use, mobile phone ownership, news access, and urban residence are correlated with gender egalitarianism. Gender egalitarianism also shapes behavior, increasing husbands' housework and childcare contributions, reducing wives' housework contributions, and delaying women's marriage and child‐bearing.
Media and Globalization
Authors: Sinclair John
Published: November 2023

Globalization is usually understood as a process of economic and political integration, but it is also a cultural phenomenon in which the media of communication have a central role. Media corporations, whether in legacy media such as broadcasting, digital interactive social media, or online entertainment, have expanded globally in pursuit of advertising revenue, notably from global consumer goods and service corporations. A theoretical critique of cultural imperialism arose in the 1970s, fearing that global media, especially emanating from the United States, would smother national cultures, but theorists of globalization have since identified complexities in media production, distribution, and consumption, not least because of the challenge to national cultures from another globalization trend, the transnational movement of populations. Thus, while homogenization is evident in some cultural forms carried by the media, diversity, or heterogenization, is also being created, resulting in cultural hybridity. The case of geolinguistic television markets is considered.
