Os atos de fala em “a república” de Platão
Authors: Blanco Vanessa Just , Sobieszczanski Miriam , Vanzig Alceu
Published: July 2023

Estudo de revisão da literatura com o objetivo de explicar de maneira prática a teoria dos atos de fala. Dessa teoria, definiram-se os atos locucionários, ilocucionários, perlocucionários e os proposicionais. Classes de força ilocucionária foram analisadas no texto A República, de Platão. Como suporte para as análises sob o ponto de vista gramatical, elencou-se a teoria da Sintagramática de Francisco Dequi. Percebeu-se, com esse estudo, que os atos de fala estão sempre presentes nos diferentes tipos de discurso como também o conhecimento das condições de felicidade, para que esses alcancem sua finalidade comunicativa. Os atos de fala também devem ser considerados competências linguísticas a serem desenvolvidas por todo o indivíduo.
Compreendendo a construção da sentença
Authors: Xavier Gláucia do Carmo
Published: July 2023

A obra “A construção da sentença”, recém-publicada, traz nomes importantes da área da Sintaxe como Mary Kato, Milton do Nascimento, Carlos Mioto, Jairo Nunes, Ruth Lopes e tantos outros no estudo e na compreensão de como se dá a formação da sentença. A obra subdivide a sentença em partes a serem debatidas e explicadas como complementação, predicação e adjunção. Nesse trabalho, os organizadores e autores dos capítulos souberam, sabiamente, trazer o tema “sintaxe” a professores e estudantes da língua de uma forma repaginada. Essa nova roupagem ao tema se deu a partir de capítulos que abordam a sintaxe não de uma forma tradicional vista pela gramática normativa, nem tampouco sob um viés funcionalista, embora a obra faça parte de uma coletânea que utiliza dados do NURC, ou seja, falas reais, do português culto falado no Brasil. Apesar de não deixar explícito o viés marcadamente gerativista, o que a obra faz é isto: apresenta, de acordo com os moldes da Teoria Gerativa, como a sentença é construída em nossa gramática mental.
Evaluating the use of doxycycline versus vancomycin for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-associated acute pulmonary exacerbations in people with cystic fibrosis
Authors: Brickel Kendall H. , Kelley Denise , Tran Hai Quyen , Fullmer Jason , Beachler Danielle
Published: July 2023

Background: Among patients with cystic fibrosis (CF),
methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)-associated
acute pulmonary exacerbations (APEs) are increasing in prevalence and
can cause rapid declines in lung function and mortality. Limited data
exist on the preferred treatment of MRSA-associated APEs, with
vancomycin often considered first-line. Given the potential toxicities
and intolerances associated with vancomycin, evaluating alternative
therapies such as doxycycline is warranted. Methods: This
evaluation is a multicenter retrospective cohort study of adult and
pediatric patients with a CF diagnosis who received greater than 48 hrs
of either vancomycin or doxycycline to treat MRSA-associated APEs. The
primary outcome was the incidence of patients with a return to ≥90% of
baseline forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV
). Results: 229 patient encounters were
screened of which 89 met inclusion criteria (n = 26, vancomycin; n = 63,
doxycycline). There were no differences between vancomycin and
doxycycline for the primary outcome: 18/26, (69.2%) in the vancomycin
group versus 51/63 (81.0%) in the doxycycline group (p = 0.23).
Conclusions: Doxycycline was comparable to vancomycin in the
rate of return to ≥90% of baseline FEV and for all
secondary efficacy outcomes. While the results of this study are limited
by the small sample size, retrospective design, and lack of power, the
findings suggest doxycycline may be a reasonable alternative to
vancomycin for MRSA-associated APEs, particularly in patients who may
not tolerate vancomycin or who require concomitant nephrotoxins such as
intravenous aminoglycosides.

Published: July 2023

Objectives: Although the mortality rate of pediatric acute
respiratory distress syndrome (PARDS) continues to decrease, the
increased incidence of clinical sequelae in survivors has become a focus
of clinical practice. This study aimed to determine the functional
status of PARDS survivors at hospital discharge using the Functional
Status Scale and to identify risk factors associated with mortality.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of
patients with PARDS assessed upon admission and discharge from our
hospital’s pediatric intensive care unit between January 2013 and
January 2020. Patients were categorized into survival and non-survival
groups for intergroup clinical characteristics and therapeutic
intervention comparisons. Results: Of the 149 study
participants, 96 (64.4%) died during hospitalization, and 53 (35.6%)
survived until discharge. Severe PARDS, defined as an oxygenation index
score of ≥16, was an independent risk factor for mortality. Although
surviving participants showed improvements in their clinical status, the
new morbidity rate at discharge was 24.5%, with respiratory, feeding,
and motor functions being the domains most affected.
Conclusion: Severe PARDS was an independent risk factor for
mortality. Despite the PARDS survival rate for the participants being
33.33%, approximately a quarter of survivors experienced new
morbidities after discharge. The most affected functions included those
related to respiration, feeding, and motor activity; therefore, special
attention should be given to maintaining these functions in survivors.

Objective: To identify risk factors among pregnant with COVID-
19 for adverse outcomes related to disease severity, maternal
morbidities, neonatal mortality and morbidity, and adverse birth
outcomes. Materials and methods: In this retrospective study,
45 pregnant patients with COVID-19 pneumonia confirmed by RT-PCR were
evaluated at HMIMV. The inclusion criteria were pregnant patients
diagnosed with COVID-19 confirmed by RT-PCR and hospitalized in the
gynecology-obstetrics and intensive care unit at Mohammed V Military
Training Hospital (HMIMV). Exclusion criteria were non-pregnant patients
and pneumonia cases with unconfirmed COVID-19 cause. Data was collected
from patient records and telephone calls. The study used SPSS
software to analyze the data.  Results: Our study recorded 45
cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection in pregnant women over 2.5 years in the
gynecology-obstetrics department at HMIMV. The age group most affected
was 20-35 years, with 75% of cases. 57% of patients had no known
comorbidities. 88.8% of patients were symptomatic at diagnosis, with
fever, asthenia, headache, myalgia, anosmia, and ageusia being the most
common symptoms. Almost 30% of patients required admission to the ICU,
with 60% requiring oxygen supplementation. The study recorded 36 live
births (80%), of which 26 cases (72.2%) required no further care and
had a favorable outcome.  Conclusion: Severe acute respiratory
distress syndrome, which can be fatal, is a significant risk associated
with COVID-19. Pregnant women with underlying medical conditions are
more vulnerable to this complication and may benefit from preventive
measures, such as lockdowns, to reduce their risk of infection. The
severity of maternal disease appears to have an impact on obstetrical
and neonatal outcomes, with potential complications including cesarean
sections, neonatal prematurity, and admission to the intensive care unit
.
Management of respiratory problems in children on home invasive mechanical ventilation
Authors: Tekin Merve Nur , Cobanoglu Nazan
Published: July 2023

The management of respiratory problems in children on home invasive
mechanical ventilation (HIMV) is a complex and challenging task. In
recent years, with appropriate family education, these patients have
been able to be discharged from the hospital and continue their
treatment at home. The population of pediatric patients dependent on
HIMV has been increasing worldwide, presenting unique and varying care
needs. Management of these patients involves addressing ventilator
settings, monitoring respiratory status, ensuring airway safety, and
providing continuous support and education to patients and their
caregivers. Despite the completion of home settings and family
education, children on HIMV may encounter various respiratory problems
during home follow-up. Prevention and timely management of these
complications are crucial to improving patient outcomes. This article
summarizes the most significant respiratory problems in children on HIMV
and the management strategies for each problem are discussed,
emphasizing the importance of appropriate aspiration techniques, regular
monitoring, adequate training of caregivers, and a well-prepared
emergency plan.
Headway in synthetic chemistry:A Gateway for drug repurposing against Pseudomonas aeruginosa through Trojan Horse strategy
Authors: Mangal Surabhi , singh Vasundhara , Chhibber Sanjay , Harjai Kusum
Published: July 2023

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a major cause of nosocomial infection which at
times causes a grim situation in clinical setups. There is a dire need
to develop strategies to overcome the increasing incidence of drug
resistance in this organism. The protective outer membrane and over
expressed efflux pumps serve as a major survival weapon for this
pathogen, making it to resist present day antibiotics. The present
review dwells on some of these strategies, with emphasis on tagging to
existing antibiotics with siderophore as a carrier employing Trojan
horse strategy so that antibiotic can creep into bacterial cell through
iron acquisition pathway. These hybrid drugs, defined as synthetic
construct are likely to overcome drug resistance due to their ability to
evade resistance mediated by multiple antibiotic resistance operon. The
advances and challenges of siderophore-antibiotic conjugates are
elaborated in this article. Moreover, several
xeno-siderophore-antibiotic conjugates, currently in clinical trials,
have been discussed. The present review provides insights into
repurposing of fluroquinolones through siderophore targeted delivery to
increase the biological activity of antibiotic. In near future,
siderophore based Trojan horse antibiotics indeed will not only help in
altering the potency of antibiotics hence decreasing antimicrobial
resistance but also will lead to disarming the pathogen of its virulence
Ectoparasite presence and brood size manipulation interact to accelerate telomere shortening in nestling jackdaws
Authors: Badas Elisa P , Bauch Christina , Boonekamp Jelle , Mulder Ellis , Verhulst Simon
Published: July 2023

Early-life conditions impact fitness, but whether the combined effect of
extrinsic stressors is additive or synergistic is not well known. This
is a major knowledge gap, because exposure to multiple stressors is
likely to be frequent. Telomere dynamics may be instrumental when
testing whether combined stressor effects are additive or synergistic,
because many factors affect telomere shortening, and telomere shortening
predicts survival. We evaluated the effects of manipulated brood size
and natural infestation by the carnid fly Carnus hemapterus on nestling
growth and telomere shortening of wild jackdaws (Corvus monedula).
Telomere length, measured in blood using TRF, shortened on average by
264 bp. In enlarged broods, nestlings’ telomeres shortened more when
parasitized, while in reduced broods there was no effect of infestation
on telomere shortening. We conclude that there is a synergistic effect
of number of siblings and Carnus infestation on telomere shortening
rate: blood-sucking parasites may negatively impact telomeres by
increasing cell proliferation and/or physiological stress, and coping
with infestation may be less successful in enlarged broods with
increased sibling competition and lower per capita feeding rate. Larger
nestlings had shorter telomeres independent of age, brood manipulation
or infestation. Growth was independent of infestation but in enlarged
broods, nestlings were lighter at fledging. Our findings indicate that
(i) evaluating consequences of early-life environmental conditions in
isolation may not yield a full picture due to synergistic effects, and
(ii) effects of environmental conditions may be cryptic, e.g. on
telomeres, with fitness consequences expressed beyond the temporal
framework of the study.
The assessment of emotion reactivity: the Italian validation of the Perth Emotional Reactivity Scale – Short Form (PERS-S)
Authors: Festucci Fabiana , Pino Maria Chiara , Viselli Lorenzo , Salfi Federico , Amicucci Giulia , Corigliano Domenico , D'Aurizio Giulia , D'Atri Aurora , Ferrara Michele , Tempesta Daniela
Published: July 2023

Emotion reactivity refers to the activation, intensity, and duration of
emotional responses to internal or external stimuli. It can be
differentiated from emotion regulation since the former is the very
first response to an emotional trigger, and the latter can be defined as
a tool for maintaining one’s own arousal in a window of tolerance.
Since, to date, there are no Italian self-report measures able to
evaluate individuals’ emotional reactivity, this study aimed to
contribute to the Italian validation of the short form of the PERS
(PERS-S). The PERS-S is an 18-item self-report measure answered on a
5-point Likert scale that generates six subscale scores and two
composite scores, with higher scores indicating higher levels of
reactivity. Data from 768 individuals showed that the PERS-S had good to
excellent goodness-of-fit. The internal consistency was high, with an
overall reliability coefficient (Cronbach’s α) of .87 and .86 for the
negative and positive general scales, respectively. The PERS-S also
demonstrated appropriate convergent validity, showing significant
correlations with conceptually related measures, and acceptable
divergent validity, showing minimal correlations with unrelated
constructs. Finally, we evaluated the Test-Retest Reliability by
administering the PERS-S to the same sample twice, with a 2-week
interval. The significant correlations between the two PERS-S
administrations suggest temporal stability. The Italian version of the
PERS-S will enrich the repertoire of self-report measures for
investigating the development and risk factors of mental health
disorders and may have practical applications in clinical settings.
Non-invasive sampling reveals low mitochondrial genetic diversity for a Critically Endangered island endemic species
Authors: Peters Catherine , Geary Matt , Hosie Charlotte , Nelson Howard , Rusk Bonnie , Muir Anna
Published: July 2023

As an island endemic with a decreasing population, the Critically
Endangered Grenada Dove Leptotila wellsi is threatened by
accelerated loss of genetic diversity resulting from ongoing habitat
fragmentation. Small, threatened populations are difficult to sample
directly but advances in molecular methods mean that non-invasive
samples can be used. We performed the first assessment of genetic
diversity of populations of Grenada Dove by a) assessing mtDNA genetic
diversity in the only two areas of occupancy on Grenada, b) defining the
number of haplotypes present at each site and c) evaluating evidence of
isolation between sites. We used non-invasively collected samples from
two locations: Mt Hartman (n=18) and Perseverance (n=12). DNA extraction
and PCR were used to amplify 1,751 bps of mtDNA from two mitochondrial
markers: NADH dehydrogenase 2 (ND2) and Cytochrome b (Cyt b). Haplotype
diversity (h) of 0.4, a nucleotide diversity (π) of 0.4 and two unique
haplotypes were identified within the ND2 sequences; one haplotype was
identified within the Cyt b sequences. Of the two haplotypes identified;
the most common haplotype (haplotype A = 73.9%) was observed at both
sites and the other (haplotype B = 26.1%) was unique to Perseverance.
Our results show low mitochondrial genetic diversity, a non-expanding
population and clear evidence for genetically isolated populations. The
Grenada Dove needs urgent conservation action, including habitat
protection and potentially augmentation of gene flow by translocation in
order to increase genetic resilience and diversity with the ultimate aim
of securing the long-term survival of this Critically Endangered
species.

Published: July 2023

Covid 19 infection and its subsequent post-viral sequelae (long-Covid)
has been associated with a range of clinical symptoms, including the
more recently recognized autonomic nervous system
dysfunction/orthostatic intolerance. Included in the autonomic nervous
system dysfunction spectrum includes non-cardiovascular symptoms
specifically gastrointestinal symptoms. We present a case of a
long-Covid patient with debilitating symptoms consistent with autonomic
dysfunction and gastrointestinal symptoms. We highlight the difficulty
of diagnosis and management of this patient and the importance of
awareness of presentation to not delay care in this complicated patient
population.
A novel di-D-furanose 1,2′:2,3′-dianhydride hydrolase (DFA-IIIase) from Duffyella gerundensis A4
Authors: Yu Shuhuai , Wang Zhenlong , Li Qingting , Wang Tong , Zhao Wei
Published: July 2023

The prebiotic fructan inulin can provide energy to organisms via several
pathways. One pathway is that inulin fructotransferase (IFTase) firstly
converted inulin to III-type difructose anhydride (DFA-III). Then
DFA-III is hydrolyzed to inulobiose via difructose anhydride hydrolase
(DFA-IIIase). However, only five DFA-IIIases have been reported to date
and all of them are from Arthrobacter genus. Whether other microbes
except Arthrobacter genus can utilize DFA-III through DFA-IIIase are
unknown. In this work, a DFA-IIIase from Duffyella gerundensis A4 (D.
gerundensis A4), abbreviated as DgDFA-IIIase, was cloned, expressed,
purified, identified, and characterized. It was approximately 50 kDa
assayed by SDS-PAGE and showed the highest catalytic activity for
DFA-III at pH 6.0 and 35 °C with specific activity of 56 U mg-1. The
enzyme was metal-independent and had a high pH stability but low
thermostability, which kept only 28% of residual activity after
incubation under 50 °C for 3 h. Moreover, Km and kcat/Km for DFA-III was
122 mM and 0.39 mM-1 s-1, respectively. The constructed model of
DgDFA-IIIase showed that it has identical residues around substrate at
active site with AcDFA-IIIase whose crystal structure has been revealed,
indicating that DgDFA-IIIase probably adopts the same catalytic
mechanism with the reported AcDFA-IIIase. The work finds that DFA-III
can be catalyzed by DFA-IIIase from microorganism of non-Arthrobacter
genus, which also extends the enzymatic sources of DFA-IIIase.
On the Vertical Structure of Mesoscale Eddies in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension
Authors: Yao Hengkai , Ma Chao , Jing Zhao
Published: July 2023

Vertical structure of mesoscale eddies is key to the eddy-induced
heat/material transport that further affects the climate and marine
ecosystem. This study explores the vertical structure of mesoscale
eddies in the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension region (KOE) and its underlying
dynamics. By applying the hierarchical ascending classification to the
observational and reanalysis datasets, we classify mesoscale eddies with
three distinct kinds of vertical structures. Each kind of eddies
exhibits clear spatial aggregation along a distinct zonal band. Eddies
have core depths of 100-300 m in the northern part of the KOE and core
depths of 300-500 m and 0-100 m in the southern. The eddy splitting or
merging does not introduce new kind of eddy vertical structure but
causes large intra-kind variability. The different kinds of eddy
vertical structures can be partially accounted for by the inference from
the baroclinic instabilities at the eddy generation sites.

Aim of the study – to investigate the effectiveness of using coherent radiation to determinethe viability of intestines in an experiment.Materials and methods. 30 non-linear white rats were used. In 10 animals, the smallintestine (SmlI) with the mesentery was ligated. In 10 animals, the colon with themesentery was ligated. After 12 hours, the width of the scattering zone (WSZ) of laserbeams was measured (in millimeters) on the walls of the intestines in the afferent (Af),efferent (Ef) and ligature (Lig) areas and taken for histological examination. The data of10 healthy animals served as a control. Laser LEDs with wavelengths of λ=0.63 μm andλ=0.5 μm were used.The results. Histological studies revealed morphological abnormalities in the Af withoutnecrosis, minor changes in the Ef and necrosis of the Lig. The ratio of the parametersof WSZ at wavelengths: λ=0.63/λ=0.5 μm in the control on SmlI = 1.01±0.08, on LrgI= 1.04±0.07 (р>0.05), on Lig SmlI = 0.79±0.05, LrgI = 0.82±0.03 (p>0.05), control –p<0.05. On Ef SmlI = 0.93±0.06, LrgI = 0.97±0.07 (p>0.05), control – p>0.05, Lig –p<0.05. On Af SmlI = 0.64±0.03, LrgI = 0.62±0.02 (р>0.05), control – p<0.01, Af andEf – p<0.05.Conclusions. 1. WSZ by the walls of SmlI and LrgI of laser beams with wavelengthsλ=0.63 μm and λ=0.5 μm increases statistically significantly in areas of intestineswith necrosis caused by ligation of the intestine and its mesentery. 2. In the areas ofthe intestines with morphological changes without the development of necrosis, WSZincreases, but, partly, without significant differences. 3. The ratio of the WSZ indicatorsof a laser beam with a wavelength of λ=0.63 μm to that with a wavelength of λ=0.5 μm is statistically significantly different in areas of intestines without impaired viability,with morphological changes without signs of necrosis, and with necrosis. 4. Ratioindicators greater than 0.9 indicate the absence of viability violations, parameters within0.9-0.65 indicate morphological changes without necrosis, and indicator parameterslower than 0.65 indicate intestinal necrosis.

Patients ofboth groups were matched by patients charasteristics.Results. There was higher level of Bacteroidetes in group of patients without NAFLD.Actinobacteria range and Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes index (F/B index) in patients with NAFLDwas above in comparison with patients of control group. Age and BMI are the risk factorsfor NAFLD development. Actinobacteria in NAFLD group positively correlated with Tumornecrosis factor alpha (α), while F/B index was in strong relationship with ALT, TG, VLDL. TheF/B index was in negative correlational relationship with TNF-α in group without liver injury.Conclusions. The composition of the intestinal microbiota is different between groupof patients with NAFLD and controls. Actinobacteria and F/B index growth could bediscussed as one of the risk factor for the fatty infiltration development in patientswith NAFLD, taking to account the fact that F/B index could be associated with suchinflammation markers as ALT and TG. Simultaneously, the same microbiome phyla couldbe the potential prevention factor of lipid disorders in patients without liver injury.

Published: July 2023

Teachers are foundational, and have great influence in the world of education. In their careers as teachers, these people must no longer care only about their own interests, but must also focus on the progress of the children they teach. The presence of this new concept in their careers can, it is thought, become an indicator for teachers in identifying and evaluating their careers, so that they may achieve career success, using subjective criteria. This study was aimed at understanding the roles of protean career attitudes (PCA) and boundaryless career attitudes (BCA) regarding the subjective career success of teachers. The approach in the study was a quantitative one, with the number of participants being 320 teachers, living in Java and Kalimantan. The instruments utilized were the Protean Career Attitudes Scale (PCAS), the Boundaryless Career Attitudes Scale (BCAS), and the Subjective Career Success Inventory (SCSI). Multiple regressive linear testing overall, and per dimension, produced scores in which p < .01, and indicated the existence of the roles of protean career attitudes (PCA) and boundaryless career attitudes (BCA) regarding the subjective career success of teachers, as well as the existence of the roles of each dimension of the study variables.

Published: July 2023

Changes in values, culture, and technology bring new demands on Generation Z parenting, especially by parents of the Baby Boomers generation. Although previous studies considered the generational gap between Baby Boomers parents and Generation Z as a myth, preliminary study raises an urgency to explore further the experiences of Baby Boomers parents in raising children from Generation Z. This study aims to explore the experiences of Baby Boomer parents in facing challenges and viewing opportunities in parenting Generation Z children. Utilizing a qualitative approach of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), this study involved three participants from the Baby Boomers generation who have children from Generation Z in Y city. The main data of this study were the transcripts of in-depth interviews, which lasted 90-120 minutes for each participant. The results of the analysis produced three themes, being: (1) the need to build parent-child closeness to bridge the generation gap; (2) parents' efforts to understand the world of children from Generation Z; and (3) parents' expectations for future of Generation Z adolescents. This study offered the implications for providing evidence from the latest study on parenting practices to uncover challenges and opportunities from the experience of Baby Boomers raising Generation Z.

Training journalists in New Zealand: The industry view of training 1979-2002
Authors: Rees Jeremy
Published: July 2023

Commentary: What skills should student journalists and then working journalists be taught? This paper is an analysis of two decades of reports by editors in the New Zealand media on what they wanted to see. The reports were part of the annual Commonwealth Press Union review of the year. They show a focus by editors on the practical, craft skills of journalism, even as academics and teachers were questioning what was best. The reports cover the years 1979-2002. Many of the same issues then are still being faced; how do you ensure training is up to standard, what do young journalists need to know, how to deliver training to journalists during their careers, and how to ensure that a diverse range of people enters the industry? These questions remain today.

Capstones are common across higher education, and are increasingly being offered in university journalism programs. However, there is no consensus about the most effective capstone for journalism. At least three models have been identified: the project, the newsroom simulation and the internship. While traditionally popular, the newsroom simulation and internship models have certain limitations, some of which have become more pronounced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Journalism educators see merit in the project model but it is not widely used. To date, there has been a lack of research about how journalism students respond to the various capstone options. The study presented here makes a contribution to this field by describing graduating students’ feedback about a new project model capstone unit offered through an Australian journalism undergraduate program. It describes some of the key themes to emerge from survey responses from three cohorts of graduating students. The project experience was found to enhance both tradecraft and transferable ‘life skills’, and helped many students feel more prepared to enter the workforce. The project shows significant promise as a valid alternative capstone experience for journalism students.
REVIEW: Radio Australia speaking to the world

Australia Calling: The ABC Radio Australia Story, by Phil Kafcaloudes, ABC Books, 2022. 224 pages. ISBN: 9780646852430.

RADIO AUSTRALIA was conceived at the beginning of the Second World War out of Canberra’s desire to counter Japanese propaganda in the Pacific. More than 70 years later its rebirth is being driven by a similarly urgent need to counter propaganda, this time from China. Set up within the towering framework of the ABC, Radio Australia was, and remains, an institution with a lively multilingual culture of its own. Sometimes it has thrived and sometimes, especially in recent decades, it has struggled as political priorities and media fashions waxed and waned within the ABC and the wider world.
Media, the courts, and terrorism: Lessons from the Christchurch mosque attacks
Authors: Ellis Gavin
Published: July 2023

Commentary: Court proceedings against the alleged perpretrator of the Christchurch mosque attacks in 2019 led to what may be ground-breaking cooperation between the judicial system and the media to balance fair trial rights and a determination to (a) avoid retraumatisation and (b) prevent the court being used as a platform for white supremacist propaganda. The case, and the willingness of media to honour these imperatives, demonstrates the centrality of publicity in acts of terrorism known as ‘propaganda of the deed’. The research outlined in this article suggests that institutional cooperation can avoid ‘giving oxygen’ to perpetrators and their causes without sacrificing journalistic integrity or a duty to bear witness in the interests of open justice. A change of plea resulted in proceedings being limited to a sentencing hearing. A lengthy trial may have tested the robustness of the measures put in place but, nonetheless, the planning processes employed in New Zealand lead to a conclusion that they could provide a basis for similar cooperation in other judicial jurisdictions, such as Australia.
OBITUARY: Shirley Shackleton: A Timor-Leste hero's quest for truth
Authors: Cronau Peter
Published: July 2023

Shirley Shackleton said that after her husband Greg was killed in Timor-Leste in October 1975, for seven weeks she became a campaigner for justice for the journalists murdered in Balibo, then after Indonesia invaded in December 1975 she became a campaigner for justice for all the East Timorese too.  Shackleton saw the Australian government treatment of the killings as a litmus test of Australian East Timor policy. She continued to pressure the government for a Federal Police investigation of those responsible for the deaths, culminating with Australian politicians and diplomats being put in the dock and scrutinised under oath in a Coronial Inquiry in 2007.
REVIEW: Exposing problems Muslim immigrants face in NZ
Authors: Brown Adam
Published: July 2023

How To Be A Bad Muslim and Other Essays, by Mohamed Hassan. Auckland: Penguin/Random House, 2022. 208 pages. ISBN 9780143776215.

This is a collection of 19 short essays by Mohamed Hassan, an award-winning poet and international journalist. He was born in Cairo, but moved to Auckland, New Zealand, at the age of eight. This personal history underlies much of his writing: his fond memories of Egypt and its collectivist society and extended families, versus his adolescence as a migrant with a clearly identifiable Muslim name in individualist New Zealand. After 9/11, suspicions deepened and Muslims were subject to collective guilt and racial profiling, despite that fact that Muslims around the world condemned the attacks.
Intersections of media influence: Radical conspiracist ‘alt-media’ narratives and the climate crisis in Aotearoa
Authors: Clark Byron , Stoakes Emanuel
Published: July 2023

This article explores a neglected, but important aspect of the misinformation challenge posed by some alternative media platforms in Aotearoa: namely, the spread of denialist or denialist-adjacent discourse on climate change, featuring messaging which aligns with the broad themes of medical misinformation and anti-vaccination propaganda seen during the COVID-19 pandemic. As will demonstrated through a case study of Aotearoa New Zealand’s 2021 ‘Groundswell’ protests, locally-based influencers and ‘alt-media’ platforms have disseminated conspiracist, unscientific narratives on both COVID and global warming to audiences likely to be receptive to these associations. The authors identify some of the tropes and narratives circulated by influencers during the demonstrations as bearing the fingerprints of radical right-wing discourse originating in the USA. The case is made that there is a high degree of cross-pollination of ideas at play within the phenomenon of anti-authority, conspiracist protest movements in Aotearoa, of which ‘Groundswell’ was an instructive example (uniting rural protesters with anti-vaccine demagogues); the discourse is infused with emotionally potent falsehoods and American-style ‘culture wars’ language. While these narratives remain relatively fringe, their toxic messaging may become more influential as more people turn to ‘alt-media’ sources for news. Indeed, the extent to which some of the influencers and language from this movement are edging closer to the outer boundaries of mainstream media and politics may represent an early warning sign for the future trajectory of this phenomenon. Finally, the authors tentatively pose some recommendations for professional media engagement with the growth of 'content that misrepresents critical social challenges.

International Broadcasting and Its Contested Role in Australian Statecraft; Middle Power, Smart Power, by Geoff Heriot. Melbourne, VIC: Anthem Press. 2023. 292 pages. ISBN 9781839985041

In May 2023, Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Penny Wong announced what she called a ‘transformational package of support’ for the Pacific, including money for infrastructure, security and criminal justice. It came amid growing competition with China in the Pacific. included in the package was a promise to ‘leverage’ Australia’s strengths, including broadcasting (and sports links), as part of an Indo-Pacific Broadcasting Strategy, enabling more Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) members to access Australian content. Australian external broadcasting was firmly back in the spotlight.
SPECIAL REPORT: The world according to China: Capturing and analysing the global media influence strategies of a superpower
Authors: Lidberg Johan , Lim Louisa , Bradshaw Erin
Published: July 2023

This project captured and analysed Chinese strategies seeking to influence global media in its coverage of China. While there is ample literature defining some of these strategies, there is a lack of empirical data tracking the strategies in practice. The project addressed this by surveying officials from journalism unions in 87 countries on their perceptions of Chinese influence on the media in their country. The surveys were complemented by focus groups with senior journalists and editors in six countries. The findings illustrated how China’s global media outreach policies have grown increasingly sophisticated and how the country utilises a multi-pronged approach to influence global media. Dukalskis’ (2017) authoritarian public sphere (APS) framework was used to conceptualise the studies and to analyse the findings. It is argued that China is attempting to offer its APS as an alternative to the traditional Habermasian (1989) public sphere.

Disrupted income of women educators during pandemic: Economic effects, adaptive strategies, and government recovery initiatives
Authors: Chavez Jason Villota , Del Prado Rosalina , Estoque Marivic
Published: July 2023

The women’s sector in the academe is one of the most affected profiles during the COVID-19 pandemic which directly ravages their livelihood and other economic activities. Thus, this research project investigated the economic situations of 30 private and public-school teachers who were displaced from their occupations or were forcibly deprived of income-generating activities. In-depth interviews as research instruments were employed in the study to extract responses on how the educators creatively apply adaptive economic strategies and how government should aid them during a global crisis. The research findings showed that the pandemic has affected the economic activities of the respondents including the loss of their livelihood and other economic sidelines. They responded to these economic effects through adaptive strategies using diversifying and analyzing trends, using digital technology resources, data-driven, acquiring new alternative skills, pricing strategy, and becoming an expert. Results dictated that government could support affected women by initiating training options, homepreneurship support, encouraging independent income-earners, financial management and tax breaks, and industry compatibility endorsement. This study is important to map out the specific economic effects of the pandemic and aid them with initiatives by providing them with concrete economic tools and programs.
Representações do cânone literário brasileiro na revista Quatro Cinco Um
Authors: Veloso Kaio Moreira , Tavares Frederico de Mello Brandão
Published: July 2023

Este artigo analisa uma seleção de textos publicados na revista brasileira Quatro Cinco Um entre 2017 e 2021, tratando-se de um dos principais periódicos em circulação no país dedicado à resenha de livros. A pesquisa exploratória partiu das capas da revista, onde foi percebida uma presença recorrente de representações do cânone literário brasileiro. Levantou-se a hipótese de uma possível divergência entre tais representações e o perfil editorial da revista, visto que a relação de cânones e clássicos com a atualidade é muito distinta daquela praticada pelo jornalismo cultural da revista, fortemente ligado aos lançamentos do mercado editorial e, nesse sentido, com ares de novidade e/ou transgressão. A análise de 14 produções selecionadas foi feita a partir da definição de três eixos de análise, tendo em vista os conceitos de sacralização e profanação de Giorgio Agamben. Apesar da diversidade nos modos de construir as narrativas, atrelando obras a questões contemporâneas, chegou-se à conclusão de que há predominância da sacralização na revista, mantendo os cânones em seu lugar de destaque, sem grandes críticas ou inovações em suas representações.
