Impact of Social Media Disinformation and of Fake News Overexposure on the Actual Capacities and the Psychological Wellbeing During the Covid-19 Pandemic: a Systemic Literature Review
Authors: Nela Alfred , Parruca Etion
Published: January 2023

Massive spread of misinformation over social media during the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the mental health of populations. Social media are among the cheapest and most quickly accessible information sources for a large section of the public, in search of news that is reliable, true, precise and based on conscientious editing. From a Positive Transcultural Psychotherapy (PPT) viewpoint, these secondary capacities – reliability, honesty, precision and conscientiousness – are among other psychosocial norms that sustain psychological well-being, including primary capacities such as time, trust, hope, security and doubt. Also, from a PPT perspective, the energy and time spent by a person in online spaces and activities affects the well-being in the four life dimensions, while those primary capacities (and emotional needs) remain at the basis of emotional well-being. The research employed the systematic review of literature in several open-access scholarly websites from February 2020 to March 2022. The paper reviews the existing research on how disinformation and excess time in fake news spread over social media has the potential to corrode the abovementioned actual capacities, trigger negative emotions, mislead the public in undertaking wrong decisions for their health and well-being, and constitute a serious threat to both public health and social order, as well as to individuals’ sense of security.

Plant metabolites can serve as renewable chemicals for the development of a sustainable society. Terpenoids are the major component of over 500,000 plant secondary metabolites reported till date. Monoterpenoid (C10) to tetraterpenoid (C40) all the terpenoid have recently been shown to have nanometric lengths. Studies on the self-assembly of terpenoids, have drawn the attention of scientific community in recent years due to many of its potential and realized applications in medicine, drug delivery, pollutant capture, metal nanoparticle hybrid material, selective damage of cancer cells, etc. In this review, we have discussed the isolation of seven terpenoids from plants and their self-assembly properties in different liquids, even without functional transformation. The utilization of the resulting supramolecular architectures such as vesicles, spheres, flowers and fibrillar networks of nano- to micro-meter dimensions and gels have also been discussed paving the way for a green, renewable and sustainable world.

Augmented Intelligence for Advancing Healthcare
Authors: Ilyas Mohammad
Published: January 2023

Augmented Intelligence (AuI) is being integrated in a variety of our daily activities and applications. Healthcare is one of those applications and, in fact, it will greatly benefit from AuI leading to impressive improvements. Although, as with the use of any new innovations, the use of AuI in healthcare is not without concerns, the benefits are expected to outweigh the concerns. It is also expected and adequate education about AuI related innovations in healthcare and their potential benefits, will build trust among consumers and alleviate perceived concerns. For the process to be relatively smooth, an interdisciplinary dialogue must take place between medical professionals, AuI experts, engineering professionals, and consumers. This paper discusses a brief history of AI and AuI, its potential applications in healthcare, potential benefits that all stakeholders will reap, and potential challenges that we will need to overcome, to fully benefit from using AuI in healthcare.
Bridging the Gap Between the World of Education and the World of Business via Standards to Develop Competences of the Future at Universities
Authors: Poszytek Paweł
Published: January 2023

The author of this article has proven in a separate bibliometric analysis that in most cases the world of education and the world of business use different terminology when discussing the competences needed on the current and future labor market. The former tends to refer to competences of the future while the latter uses the term competences 4.0 more often, which results from binding this phenomenon with the digital transformation and current changes in industry generally called the 4th industrial revolution. The differences in terminology in this respect also refer to the way these competences are defined, although in most cases they refer to three main domains: (1) technical competences; (2) cognitive competences and (3) social competences. On the basis of the above, the research group of the Polish NGO, The Platform for the Industry of the Future, designed the certification system for universities which would like to be labelled as universities that educate for the future and develop the competences of the future among their students. This certification system is based on the following standard: (1) curriculum; (2) internal ecosystem at a university; (3) cooperation with an external ecosystem; (4) the teaching staff and (5) infrastructure at a university. The certification system provides and defines detailed criteria for each element of the standard mentioned above, as well as indicators that measure the fulfilment of these criteria.
Emerging Role of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Ilyas Mohammad
Published: January 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is considered a branch of science that deals with the process of machine learning and intelligent behavior of machines. AI is increasingly becoming involved in our existence. Many see emergence of AI as a revolution that will impact every aspect of our lives. Some see it as an evolution based on the recent advances in hardware/software technologies, powerful computational platforms, and access to massive amount of data collected through pervasive communication networks such as Internet of Things (IoT). Irrespective of these opinions, AI is expected to profoundly impact many aspects of our existence including healthcare, transportation, agriculture, energy, social life, entertainment, fighting crime, and many more. How far AI will infiltrate in human existence is within our hands, at least, for now. We, human beings, design algorithms for AI, we restrict or relax the boundaries of their use, we benefit from the artificial intelligence, and we deal with the consequences of the decisions made by machines using AI. How far AI can go in improving our lives and how significant and deep its interference can be in our existence, remains to be seen. This paper captures the current state of AI and discusses its potential to make human existence better.

Quantum Capacitance and Fermi Level Change in Graphene nanoribbons due to Gas Sensing
Authors: Rahman Fahrin , Rahman Md. Saidur , Ahmmed Rubab , Ali Md. Hazrat
Published: January 2023

Here we used semiempirical computations to examine the property of nanoribbon of Graphene as a gas sensor with interaction of H2O gas molecule for both pure and defective GNRs which has been generated in Atomistix Toolkit (ATK) software. Density of States GNR before and after the interaction is shown in a (DOS) diagram with gas particles was discovered to be different which has been observed in MATLAB software. It's vital to look at the quantum capacitance when examining Graphene’s electrical properties. So, this study looked at change in quantum capacitance and Fermi Level of Graphene before and after gas sensing and the results were produced with necessary equations. Using a three-electrode electrochemical setup, we are able to directly quantify Graphene's quantum capacitance as a function of gate potential. If Graphene is used in a highly sensitive capacitive circuit, the change in Fermi energy was determined from experimental data of changed Density of States (DOS). Although this research has some limitations and future scopes, we can propose that the change in Fermi Energy level can be approximately 9.5 eV with respect to the quantum capacitance of fabricated Graphene interacting with H2O which is used as a MOSFET in this work.
Psihologia de război și dilemele morale ale militarului
Authors:   Ministerul Apărării Naționale, DOBRE Cristian
Published: January 2023

"The article presents one of the most significant psychological aspects experienced by the military during their operations – ethics and morality. Thus, it dives deeper into the idea of “war psychology”, to then analyse the biggest ethical and moral dilemmas of the military during battle. Far from exhausting the subject, the article wants to draw attention to the fact that, in the end, the military is still human, and in the absence of adequate preparation for combat and adequate post-action psychological support at the end of the conflict, moral wounds can appear, which, most of the time, are as painful and devastating as the physical ones."

The present study focuses on the naval actions that took place predominantly in the area of the southern bridgehead, where the Axis naval forces were able to block the supply of enemy troops."
The Black Sea’s Strategic Importance of the and NATO’s Role in Countering the Kremlin’s Military Domination
Authors:   National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – Bucharest, CRĂCIUN Ioan
Published: January 2023

"The Black Sea region has become one of the key geopolitical spaces for the competition between Russia and the West on which the very future of Europe ultimately depends. The Kremlin wants to keep the Black Sea in its sphere of influence through a strategy of regional destabilisation based on a special military operation against Ukraine, the illegal annexation of new territories, historically considered to belong to Russia, and the strengthening of the military presence in these territories or the direct military threat to the states in the region in order to limit as much as possible the possibilities of their accession to the Euro-Atlantic structures. On the other hand, the West is trying to respond to Russia’s expansion with an advanced defence strategy in which the Black Sea occupies a central place. Thus, the Black Sea region, which has traditionally been treated as a less important area, acquires new strategic features becoming a much more militarised, unstable and contested region, a region that is in dire need of a new regional status-quo in order to stabilise. Considering this state of facts, this article has as its main objective the geopolitical analysis of the Black Sea region, given that Russia has become the main destabilising factor in the region, as well as the identification of solutions to achieve regional stability based on the increasingly consistent involvement of the North Atlantic Alliance."

Taxi is one of the essential ways of transportation, which contributes to the depletion of non-renewable resources, congestion, emissions of harmful gases, energy consumption, and noise pollution. One way to reduce the environmental pollution caused by the road transportation system is to replace conventional and hybrid vehicles with pure electric-driven powertrains. In fact, EVs were announced as the key element in the sustainable transport strategy in urban areas, but the company operating transport services using vehicle fleets should increase the demand for electric vehicles to spread awareness. This paper reviews the feasibility of EV taxis in Singapore by analyzing the available infrastructure and energy prices. To introduce the electric vehicle in Singapore as an electric taxi, the construction along with the location of charging infrastructure need to be properly planned. Initiatives taken by different countries and the large-scale transition have also been reviewed. Despite the drawbacks of battery electric vehicles (BEVs), such as charging inconvenience and limited range, promising potential for EV taxis has been presented by the technological progress This paper also compared different aspects of the currently used taxis with EV taxis in Singapore. For the augmentation of this transition, improvement of the business model, dissemination of charging infrastructure, and policy support can play a vital role.

Saline soil is an increasing threat to agriculture and a key factor in reducing plant productivity. A field study was carried out from different soil depths at Kalapara Upazila in Patuakhali district and tomato plant was grown to determine the effects of salinity on it. It was found that the soil was silty clay, average pH 6.65, cation exchange capacity varied from 12.80 to 21.0 meq/100 g soil venting medium to high status. The organic matter content was low (0.967%), total nitrogen was 0.071%, phosphorous and potassium were low but sulphur was high (47 mg/kg). Exchangeable sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium existed at high levels. The present results revealed that salinity adversely affected the morphological and yield parameters of tomato. The tomato yield declined as salinity increased, and the reduction varied depending on the stage. The yield decreasing rate was the highest in BARI Tomato 14 (62%), but BARI Tomato 7 showed lower decreases due to salinity increases (47%). So, BARI Tomato-7 was the most salt tolerant and suitable variety for the Kalapara coastal region.
Algumas contribuições da fenomenologia à educação a partir da crítica à racionalidade técnica
Authors: Cunha Saulo Machado , De Souza Antonio José , Rabinovich Elaine Pedreira
Published: January 2023

O artigo tem como objetivo apresentar contribuições da fenomenologia para o âmbito da educação. Pretende-se traçar o panorama histórico quanto à crise das ciências e o surgimento da fenomenologia, compreendendo a importância da crítica à racionalidade técnica para o pensar da educação. Foi utilizado o método de revisão de literatura narrativa para condução do estudo. Ainda hoje, parte da educação formal segue modelos fundamentados na racionalidade técnica, priorizando o conteúdo e a eficácia do saber-fazer. Vê-se que i) uma educação fenomenológica privilegia a(s) singularidade(s) dos educandos; ii) situa os educadores e educandos em uma relação dialética que compreende a importância do “espantar-se” com o conhecimento e; iii) oferece, a partir da práxis pedagógica e das vivências singulares, uma abertura para as inúmeras possibilidades de ser no mundo. Trata-se de implicar a razão técnica no campo da educação, salientando uma perspectiva em que o fazer alia-se ao ser e suas possibilidades.

Authors: Garnefski Nadia , Kraaij Vivian
Published: January 2023

There is a high prevalence of mental health problems in young adulthood. At the same time, these problems seem to be undertreated. Barriers to seeking help include: stigma, costs and time issues. eHealth interventions could be a promising solution. Moodpep was developed in 2019 as a guided online self-help program for young adults (18+) with depressive symptoms. It is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and includes 8 lessons and 4 themes: activation, relaxation, changing negative cognitions, and goal attainment. The aims of the present article were: giving a detailed description of Moodpep and evaluating the program. The latter was done by analyzing pre-post data and studying participant satisfaction. In total, 31 participants started with the intervention of whom 23 completed it. The results showed that depressive symptoms significantly reduced after following the program, with large effect sizes. At post-test almost all participants scored in the categories of minimal or mild depression. In addition, program and coaching were valued by the participants. In conclusion, Moodpep could provide effective low-threshold help to young people; they could work on mental health at their own time and place, in relative anonymity, and against no or low costs.
Why Loneliness Matters in Clinical Practice: A Primer for Clinical- and Neuro-Psychologists.
Authors: Badcock Johanna C. , Preece David A. , Badcock Anna C.
Published: January 2023

Aims: Loneliness has an adverse impact on mental health, yet it is often overlooked in psychological services. To inform clinical practice, we provide an overview of research hotspots on loneliness and mental health, the ‘state of the art’ in assessment and treatment, and workforce implications. Methods: Narrative synthesis. Results: Loneliness occurs in all age groups, with peaks in younger and older adults. It is a well-established risk factor for mental ill-health, neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, and other problems prompting people to seek psychological care. A variety of psychometrically sound self-report measures are available for assessment purposes, though some lack structural or cross-cultural validity. The most promising interventions use cognitive-behavioural therapy to change maladaptive social cognitions. Recent studies are focused on identifying mechanisms of change, the role of social networks, and the use of digital technologies to augment treatment. The stigma of loneliness can prevent clients and healthcare professionals from talking openly about it, but the best strategies for combating loneliness stigma are unclear. Conclusion: Loneliness and mental ill-health are mutually reinforcing; hence, loneliness should be routinely considered in clinical practice. Psychological interventions are moderately effective at alleviating loneliness but further research and practice-based evaluation of solutions for loneliness is needed.

Inspiracją do przygotowania prezentowanych w tomie artykułów są pytania o relacje przedmiotu badań pedagogiki specjalnej i studiów o/nad niepełnosprawności/-ą ze współczesnymi przemianami myśli humanistycznej. Przemianami, które otwierają się na sprawstwo nie-tylko-ludzkich bytów, które pozwalają humanistyce rezygnować z metodologicznego puryzmu, sztywno określonych granic dyscyplin, dobrze nam znanych dualizmów i opozycji: kultura–natura, podmiot–przedmiot, sprawczy ludzie – poddana materia itd. W wielu odsłonach nowa humanistyka – bo o tym niejednorodnym nurcie tutaj mowa – nie poprzestaje na kontestowaniu i opisywaniu świata, ale stawia przed sobą zadania uruchamiania aktywizmów i zmiany rzeczywistości, zadań od zawsze bliskich pedagogice i pedagogice specjalnej. Nowohumanistyczne postulaty są ujmowane w niejednorodne „zwroty”: „ku materialności”, „ku rzeczom”, „ku sprawczości”, „relacyjnym” itd.

Scheibe and Bach in Leipzig
Authors: Butler Lynn Edwards
Published: January 2023

This chapter explores the many ways in which Johann Scheibe and Johann Sebastian Bach interacted during the twenty-five years that they were colleagues in Leipzig. As Thomascantor, Bach would have overseen organ renovations carried out by Scheibe, and Bach examined and played Scheibe's organs. Bach no doubt was aware of Scheibe's inventions. On several occasions, Bach acted on Scheibe's behalf to see that he was properly reimbursed for his work and on at least one occasion, Bach reviewed dispositions Scheibe had proposed to a nearby village church. Bach provided a recommendation for Scheibe's son Johann Adolph, and in 1739 Bach and Johann Adolph, no doubt in the company of Scheibe the builder, visited and played the Trost organ in Altenburg's Castle Church.
Mormon Women at the Crossroads
Authors: Kline Caroline Kline
Published: January 2023

This book examines the perspectives, ethical priorities, and gendered navigations of global women of color within Mormonism. Using primarily the method of oral history interviews, it analyzes the complex agency of Mormon women of color in Mexico, Botswana, and the United States as they adopt and adapt their faith to their particular contexts. These narratives attest that women often find spaces within Mormonism's patriarchal structure to achieve the spirituality, self-development, and uplifting relationships that they want to center their lives. Questions about church leaders' Americentric emphases and positions of privilege sometimes arise, however, when church injunctions clash with certain local traditions and realities. In its intersectional examination of the experiences of women of color navigating issues of gender, race, class, and culture within the Mormon context, this book argues that the end toward which these women direct their agentive acts is not typically gender equality; rather, it is the establishment of healthy, vitalizing connections with other people and with the divine. Therefore, a productive lens through which to view these women's lives and choices is the paradigm of non-oppressive connectedness. In this paradigm, gender inequality and gender complementarity are not primary moral evils or concerns. Oppression, violence, and alienation from God and other humans are the states against which these women are actively working.
Chandman’ and Beyond
Authors: Curtet Johanni
Published: January 2023

Since the 1990s, khöömii has become one of Mongolia’s most recognized musical practices performed globally for its distinctive and unusual sound. Its status as a Mongolian cultural heritage product exists alongside cultural markers such as yurts, blue skies, green steppes, Chinggis Khan, and nomadic culture. Yet before the 1950s, few people outside of various small communities in western or northern Mongolia even knew of the vocal practice. It has taken seventy years for this transformation to occur and during this time one particular district called Chandman’ in Khovd province became renown in Mongolia as “the birth-place of khöömii” in light of the significant role of its community members in popularizing, professionalizing, and promoting the vocal practice locally, nationally, and internationally. In this chapter, I address the growth of khöömii in Mongolia from a local to a national tradition and discuss the specific role that one community, Chandman’, played in the process. I explore the musical and performative characteristics of khöömii and introduce some of its practitioners; then I illustrate how khöömii became the centerpiece of Mongolia’s important cultural heritage through various stages, such as institutionalization and international recognition during and after the socialist era. My findings point clearly to the central role that Chandman’ and its community played in its growing popularity in Mongolia and globally.
Introduction
Authors: Birk Megan
Published: January 2023

The introduction reviews the concept of the agrarian or rural ideal, the notion that life on a farm improved a variety of physical and mental conditions, and applies it to institutional care. Historians have suggested that poor farms intended to discourage people from using them, but nineteenth-century experts understood that those likely to use institutions for aid were those for whom other options, such as self-supporting work, were no longer available because of illness, disability, or age. Misconceptions about poor farms created a negative reputation as terrible places, but they provided services otherwise lacking in many rural areas.

Prior to building a poor farm, counties funded relief through boarding or leasing out the poor, a tactic that created unpredictable expenses. Local authorities also gave direct aid in the form of groceries, fuel, rent, medical bills, and burial expenses. Founding an institution was a mechanism to control costs and produce food and funds. County officials bought land, constructed facilities, and hired staff. To save money they sometimes combined jails or asylums on the grounds, which created negative associations for the poor who lived there. Attempts at state oversight for quality and consistency often failed.
Looking at Japanese Picture Brides
Authors: Creef Elena Tajima
Published: January 2023

“Looking at Japanese Picture Brides” offers a critical examination of the photographic archives connected to this group of Japanese immigrant women (1908-24), beginning with anti-Japanese newspaper coverage of arriving brides and ending with official immigration case files created for Japanese “photo marriage” women arriving in San Francisco. Picture bride exchange photographs may have begun as personal artifacts, but once they have been entered into official immigration records they become part of an archival system of state surveillance. This chapter explores how early 20th century anti-Japanese politicians, Japanese picture grooms, U.S. immigration officials, and Japanese/American artists each bring different agendas to their reading of picture bride representations that have generated a multitude of meanings.
Toward New Potentials of Imagination
Authors: Zaytoun Kelli D.
Published: January 2023

This concluding chapter, “Toward New Potentials of Imagination,” explores the role of imagination and creative endeavor in determining realities. Bringing Anzaldúa into conversation with Eli Clare and adrienne maree brown, the chapter considers the power of dominant and nondominant imaginaries to create broad-reaching outcomes, from violent to liberating. Clare’s book Brilliant Imperfection: Grappling with Cure is highlighted for its focus on imagining futures for a diversity of bodies and ecosystems, and brown’s Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds is engaged as an example of a creative and practical approach that draws on metaphor and fiction to purposefully envisage and enact personal and large-scale transformation toward social justice. Similarly to Anzaldúa, both authors take seriously the shapeshifting potential of storytelling and writing as a political, decolonial, and transformative act.
Return to the Islands
Authors: Moser Patrick
Published: January 2023

Freeth was praised as a lifesaving hero in the Hawaiian press, and though Alexander Hume Ford (who’d founded the Outrigger Canoe Club in 1908) wanted Freeth to lifeguard at Waikīkī, Freeth decided to work as an underwater diver at Pearl Harbor to help build Dry Dock Number One for the U.S. Navy. He worked at Pearl Harbor until August 1911, when he competed at Honolulu Harbor in the first tournament sanctioned by the Amateur Athletic Union in Hawai‘i. Although Freeth won the diving event, the press focused on his friend Duke Kahanamoku, who broke two world records in the swimming events. Freeth suddenly had ideas of becoming Duke’s manager as Duke trained for the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm.
From Competitor to Mentor
Authors: Moser Patrick

The Honolulu elite blocked Freeth from becoming Duke’s manager. Although Freeth tried to reach the 1912 Olympics himself as a diver, the Amateur Athletic Union once again prevented him from competing. Freeth turned to training young swimmers like “Dolly” Mings and “Ludy” Langer, who successfully represented Redondo in state competition; their team quickly became the top swimming club in Southern California. Freeth also made headlines in the summer of 1912 for teaching Mings and other women how to surf and for founding the first surf club in California later that fall. Beach culture developed with bathing suit contests in Venice, and Freeth innovated lifeguarding gear with the torpedo tube and a three-wheeled motorcycle. He also starred in a film, The Latest in Life Saving.
Driving and Chauffeuring in Miami
Authors: Castillo Thomas A.
Published: January 2023

Miami’s tourist-based economy offered few job options for workers and even fewer for US or Bahamian Blacks. The chapter analyzes how the struggle over the new trade of chauffeuring negotiated the boundaries of segregation and movement in the city. Black chauffeur agency and the support of the Black middle class to challenge the restrictions to transportation options and movement in the city merged with tourist interests. The chapter argues that white chauffeur efforts to protect their right to a moral economy faltered as a result of their failure to convince the public about the value of their skill. Their economic hopes—framed in moral economic and racist exclusionary terms—clashed with employer interest to discipline labor unions and tourist racist desire for servile Black drivers.
Appeals to Harmony
Authors: Castillo Thomas A.
Published: January 2023

This is the first of three chapters that engage Miami’s unemployment movement’s history. Its focus is local activist and gadfly Perrine Palmer, the father of the future mayor of Miami (1945-47). It explores his background, outlines his ideas, and links them to the Dade County Unemployed Citizens’ League. Palmer’s radical class harmony—a language infused with a vibrant Americanism with a moral outlook—argued for moral economy and a cooperative commonwealth to improve the conditions of all members of society. Harking back to World War I planning and patriotism as a model to end the Depression, he argued for improving the lives of workers, tapping into such movements as shorter hours and technocracy, a faith in planning and technology to effectively use America’s abundance.
Uncle Green Must Be Coming to Dinner
Authors: Caldwell Robin
Published: January 2023

Pandemic conditions restricted family gatherings to cook and eat in-person, even as the weight of generations of racial inequities and injustice bore down on Black shoulders. The heaviness led Black women directly to their kitchens, where they used Instagram to preserve a heritage of hospitality and joy in family ritual, such as repasts, reunions, and Sunday Dinners. Analyzing the images and captions marked with the tag #blackgirlcooking, and the Instagram presence of “black girl cooking” and Vegan Soul Food accounts, this chapter documents the creativity, adaptation, and family dedication of Black home cooks during a complicated time of change.
Camera Eats First

Published: January 2023

This chapter presents findings from interviews with five self-made food Instagram influencers in Hong Kong, one of the world’s most vibrant gourmet cities. Through a grounded theory approach, key themes from the interviews demonstrate how these influencers used Instagram photography to perform local identity within a global context, at the same time that they manage ambivalent branding practices for themselves and the restaurants and products they feature. The chapter also analyzes the specific photography techniques—such as framing, composition, orientation, and depth of field—these influencers use to represent their food views of Hong Kong for local and global consumption.
Repackaging Leftovers
Authors: Schuwerk Tara J. , Cramer Sarah E.
Published: January 2023

This chapter interrogates food and health messages deployed by Instagram influencers, and presents novel qualitative research that utilized an interpretivist lens. The influencers studied dispense bold, unrefereed, and often conflicting advice about how to eat. While many claim to offer new ways of thinking about food and freedom from “diet culture,” this chapter argues that Instagram influencers repackage the same food and health discourses experienced in mass media and interpersonal contexts. Additionally, because influencers talk directly to their audiences, there is little accountability or verification of their claims, which represents a diversion from some previous, nondigital discourse.
Posing with “the People”
Authors: Santamaria Sara Garcia
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the politicization of food as a means of advancing far-right populist discourses and, therefore, reinforcing exclusionary friend-and-foe narratives. It does so by examining the official Instagram account of Matteo Salvini, former deputy prime minister in Italy, and Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro. Both leaders ran for office in their country’s general elections in 2018 and are known for mastering the use of social media. The data shows that far-right populist leaders instrumentalize comfort food in order to create an emotional connection with the common people by adopting an apparently spontaneous and uncurated aesthetic, very much defying “elitist” representations.
Appreciating the art of the Supplement
Authors: Moore Paul , Gabriele Sandra
Published: January 2023

Expanding Sunday newspaper circulation and mass readership meant establishing or altering networks of technologies and systems of transportation. In the 1890s, great advances in audio-visual reproduction introduced new technologies of recorded and telephonic sound, and of moving and print images. All became supplements to newsprint. Illustrated Sunday features often extolled technological advancements to heighten and extend the sensory experiences of newspaper reading. Particularly descriptive journalism was routinely labeled “pen pictures,” but new technologies were used symbolically to enhance eyewitness reporting. Hot-air ballooning let reporters write from beyond a human perspective. Columns were written as talk from telephones, described as if projected by vitascopes and instantaneous photographs. Interviews were illustrated by photographs and frames from moving pictures. Experiments combining news reporting with cinema and wireless. Many early newsreels were produced and promoted as newspaper supplements named Herald Movies and Motion Picture Magazines. Feature stories depicted future uses of visual telegraphy and wireless printing. Discourses of marvel and wonder posited the Sunday paper itself as a marvel of modern society, connected to all the important advances of the day. In all these cases, precision, sound, and movement added to newspapers' foundational strength in mass address, in the ability to circulate.
Mexican American Women’s Stories in 1950s Chicago Schools
Authors: Rivera Angelica
Published: January 2023

This chapter describes the educational experience of Mexican/Mexican American girls in mid-twentieth-century Chicago Public Schools and sheds light on the feeling of exclusion and marginalization that some Mexicans experienced due to lack of bilingual education programs. Oral histories with twenty Mexican American women were conducted as a methodological tool to explore issues of race, class, gender, identity, community formation, language experiences, generational differences, educational attainment, and activism. For my theoretical approach, I borrowed from one of the tenets of critical race theory and LatCrit.
“Land of 1000 Dances”
Authors: Reali Christopher M.
Published: January 2023

This chapter examines the real and imagined South in relationship to the Muscle Shoals music industry by addressing how cultural outsiders like Jerry Wexler perpetuated stereotypes that fed the Muscle Shoals mystique. Dissemination of the Muscle Shoals mystique occurred through news articles, 45 rpm labels, and recordings made by Jimmy Cliff, the Rolling Stones, and Traffic. The chapter provides a close reading of the cumulative events that led to Paul Simon's arrival in Muscle Shoals. Positioning the songs recorded in the Shoals during the 1960s and early 1970s within a larger cultural context that includes the history, formation, and promotion of regional identity reveals how Muscle Shoals came to represent, for many, the continuation of an imagined South manifested in sound.
