“I NEVER USE HEADSETS”: WOMEN, WARINESS, AND HYPERVIGILANCE FOR THE INEVITABILITY OF ONLINE HARASSMENT IN GAMING CULTURE
Authors: Butt Mahli-Ann 
Published: August 2020

The gaming community has been contoured by divisive issues around the exacerbation of sexism, racism, and harassment. These tensions culminated in 2014 in the shape of #gamergate: a decentralised online harassment campaign against women and feminism in gaming. Gamergate continues to intensify a heightened climate of hostility especially felt by women and minorities.This ongoing feminist ethnography has emerged from an imperative to create interventions into the increasing normalisation of online and offline harassment. In it, this research analyses the affective labour of how people navigate and ‘cope’ with discrimination in gaming cultures.
This paper will present vignettes of the larger research project of how online harassment has coloured people’s lived experiences, through thick-descriptions of in-depth semi-structured interviews conducted with 7 women who play videogames with their romantic partners. These interviews gesture towards a rich complexity of affective relationships at the nexus of gaming, romantic relationships, and the everyday lived experiences of women. To avoid bringing attention to their gender, harassment, and unwanted confrontations, women are hypervigilant. In similar ways to self-defence tactics, women constantly avoid using headsets to communicate with other players, keep clear of conversations about playing videogames, and minimise the performance of their femininity in public gaming spaces.This paper critically examines the dynamics of how the increasing normalisation and public gamification of online harassment impacts women’s engagement with gaming, as well as how ‘online’ harassment may invade into their intimate relationships and domestic ‘private’ spheres.
CHEMSEX: DIGITAL, CHEMICAL AND COMMUNAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF DISINHIBITION

Published: August 2020

Since the early days of digital media studies, it has been widely understood that trust in digital technologies has been indispensable for the operation of queer communities. Attaining access to _disinhibition_ is central to queer world-making: not only through coming “out”; and dancing at the gay club, but also by chemically altering your state of mind through alcohol and drug consumption. This panel explores queer ‘digital infrastructures of disinhibition’ through a digitally mediated sexual practice that has attracted significant attention over the last decade: ‘chemsex’, when gay and bisexual men use locative social media such as hook-up apps to organise group sex encounters where certain recreational drugs are consumed.
Chemsex is a socio-sexual practice that to an overwhelming degree is _constructed_, _negotiated_, _enacted_, _maintained_ and _critiqued_ via digital platforms. Hook-up apps are key to facilitating chemsex encounters because they allow for instant access to nearby subjects who can join the chemsex event; porn platforms and video conferencing tools lend their affordances to the visual culture and consumption of chemsex. At the same time as digital media intervenes in chemsex subjectivity, so do the recreational drugs.
Instead of treating the “effects” of media and drugs on the participating bodies as separated elements, this panel explores what can be achieved analytically if we think of them as co-constituting chemsex. To do so we conceptualize contemporary gay culture as an emerging assemblage depending on _digital_, _chemical_, and _communal_ infrastructures and the ways they are practiced, experienced, policed and transformed.
The panel explores both the emergence and practice of chemsex, as well as what kinds of queer futurity chemsex events might offer, what “ways of feeling” emerge, and the subjectivities it produces, including the extent to which they might be considered to disturb, disrupt or, conversely, consolidate homonormative sociabilities and realities.
"WHAT WE CANNOT SPEAK ABOUT WE MUST TWEET": TRUST AMONG ISRAELI TWITTER USERS WITH DEPRESSION
Authors: Haytin Sofia , Livio Oren 
Published: August 2020

Research on self-revealing online environments in general and on internet-based medical support groups in particular has demonstrated that participants in such environments customarily assume others to be worthy of intimacy that is indeed reciprocated, resulting in a generalized climate of mutual trust that nevertheless meets significant challenges in actual online practice. While most previous studies have examined this phenomenon in the context of blogs, forums, and social media groups explicitly devoted to specific _physical_ illnesses, in this study we focus on a "naturally" developing, unstructured, a-hierarchical "community"-of-sorts that is based on a shared _mental_ disorder – Israeli Twitter users with depression. In-depth interviews with these users demonstrate how the unique affordances of Twitter in Israel – and especially its lack of popularity and its construction as the "anti-Facebook" – have enabled it to become a discursive space in which non-hegemonic voices are more prominent.
While Twitter users with depression were cautious in developing trust, once trust was inferred it became a central facet of their perception of Twitter and its supportive role. Users conceived of Twitter as a sanctuary and echo chamber in which people with depression can present their authentic selves to an empathetic, non-judgmental community of similar outcasts. At the same time, the community's expectations for profound authenticity paradoxically led some users to avoid tweeting about positive experiences. In addition, Twitter's marginal status allowed users to link their sense of _psychological_ reclusiveness to their sense of _political_ isolation in a climate in which leftist views are increasingly ostracized.
PLAYING WHILE FEMALE: RE-READING IDENTITY FIXATIONS IN OVERWATCH
Authors: Jensen Jennifer , De Castell Suzanne , Skardzius Karen 
Published: August 2020

In early 2019, Overwatch professional player, “Ellie” quit playing just weeks after having been named to one of the teams seeded into the professional league. The harassment cited as a reason to leave was related especially to whether or not “Ellie” was truly “female”. Not much later, Ellie was revealed (and confirmed by Blizzard, the parent company of Overwatch) to be an account created by a male player. This paper sets out to map the controversy that ensued from a self-styled “social experiment” of playing while female.
This paper brings this current “revelation” into conversation with past, more fully embodied/manufactured identities to better understand why this case is particularly important to internet studies. To this end, we begin by briefly describing some earlier, more familiar cases of people revealed to be someone other than, in online spaces, they said they were. Then, we further outline the instance of Ellie: its uptake by mainstream media, prominent Youtubers and Twitch streamers, and its discussion on internet forums like Reddit and 4Chan. Paying particular attention to the ways these discussions frame the “trick” played in disguising Ellie’s ‘true’ identity (singular), we suggest that this kind of case has always been galvanized by an underlying conviction that the best gamers are always and only men, and one contribution internet scholarship can make here is to show how these discursive patterns are unhelpful in understanding contemporary identificatory politics and practices in online spaces.
CONVENIENCE TRUMPS ALGORITHMS: PREDICTING CONTINUED INTENTION TO USE MUSIC STREAMING SERVICES
Authors: Lüders Marika 
Published: August 2020

This paper develops and examines constructs for predicting continued intention to use music streaming services and combines theoretical approaches from technology acceptance studies, collecting/sensemaking in music streaming services and algorithmic culture/individuation. This theoretical framework is chosen as each approach points to constructs that capture at least part of the use-value of these services, yet that have not been examined in combination.
The theoretical model suggests that convenience value, monetary value, will to archive, algorithmic value and age predict continued intention to use music streaming services (age negatively). The empirical basis of the study consists of interviews with 26 users of streaming services and an online survey (N=793) with respondents who pay for music streaming services. The survey items were subjected to a principal component analysis, resulting in the five foreseen factors. Items that loaded on each factor were summed and averaged and used in the subsequent hierarchical regression analyses.
The results show that monetary value is the strongest predictor followed by convenience value and will to archive. As expected, age is negatively associated with continued intention to use music streaming services. Whereas algorithmic value correlates significantly with all other constructs, it does not predict continued intention to use. The qualitative interviews help explain the results. People who invest efforts in organizing their own music libraries and playlists create added value to their own service-experience. Interviews also provide accounts of how personalized recommendations are considered important by the most avid music-listeners, yet that casual listeners pay little attention to recommendations.
THANKS SVETLANA: PRIVACY, TRUST, HUMOR, AND THE RUSSIAN PSYOP ON TUMBLR
Authors: Neill Hoch Indira 
Published: August 2020

This study uses a combination of multimodal discourse analysis (Bateman, 2008; Holsanova, 2012; Jewitt, 2009; LeVine & Scollon, 2004) and qualitative interview materials to make an initial attempt at understanding the response to the Russian Psyop as it played out on Tumblr. It is critical that we, as technologically-oriented, civically concerned communication scholars, understand the technical and social mechanisms that allowed Russian and other interference on social media platforms to be perpetuated, and not only on the most popular and visible sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, but more niche platforms as well.
Interview materials originate prior to the announcement, and were conducted from September to November 2017. In these interviews, privacy concerns were discussed at length, as well as Tumblr’s perceived incompetence when coding and maintaining a web platform. Because they maintained relatively little faith in the digital architecture of Tumblr, participants instead largely managed their privacy by carefully considering who they followed and who followed them. This centrality of “knowing” who they followed (while almost never knowing the blogger in a face-to-face context) is key for understanding how the Russian accounts must resemble “real” people, in order to gain followers and thus traction on Tumblr.
The posts and reblog chains under analysis either 1) originated with one IRA-linked account, “lagonegirl,” and were reblogged after “her” blog was deleted, or 2) were humorous responses to the Psyop revelation/Russian spies.
THE QUT DIGITAL OBSERVATORY PROJECT: BUILDING A TRUSTED DATA INFRASTRUCTURE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA RESEARCH
Authors: Takahashi Marissa , Hames Sam , Alpert Elizabeth , Bruns Axel 
Published: August 2020

Trust is fragile. The 2018 Facebook and Cambridge Analytica debacles highlighted how data harvested from social media platforms can be used not only for commercial purposes but also for political manipulation. This incident and the widespread discussion around it further demonstrated the following issues: unethical data collection enabled by a platform; unethical use of data for corporate and political interest; and unethical data sharing by an academic.
Research needs to be credible to maintain social license. Data is the lifeblood of research. For research to remain credible, research needs to remain fundamentally ethical and research methods comprising data collection and data analysis need to be robust, transparent, repeatable, and auditable. Such methods alone cannot create credibility, but research data infrastructure design and implementation can provide a foundation for credibility by addressing these fundamental processes.
Social science research has traditionally relied on data collection methods such as surveys, interviews, and ethnographic observations. However, an increasing proportion of human life is being mediated by online platforms, with approximately 2.3 billion active users on Facebook and 326 million active users on Twitter (Statista 2019). Social media data collection and analysis have become imperative for researchers interested in various phenomena playing out in these new media. This paper discusses the current state and issues of social media data collection and describes the Digital Observatory’s approach to establishing a credible and trusted research data infrastructure.
PRESSURE CONTROLS: DATA FORCES CREEPING THROUGH FINGERTIP COMMANDS
Authors: Taylor Simon , Witzenberger Kevin 
Published: August 2020

AI methods and ubiquitous data sensors have enabled a new algorithmic quantification of affect with the possibility to detect or verify users’ identities, characteristics, emotional states, and physical traits. By scrutinizing how transient datasets are produced by user applied pressure on touch-screens (via fingertip commands) this paper showcases how sensory technology creeps into users’ everyday life with potential implementations connected to a series of emerging data issues engineered by a black-box design: one which obfuscates data production and precludes user consent under the disguise of “non-intrusive” features. Thereby, this paper explores the limits of user-based interrogation of black-boxes by researching tactile modes of operation, as a subset of behavioural biometrics, and sensors that register force in touch analysis and haptic technologies.
Presenting a citation analysis of biometric techniques around the proposed usage of pressure; the authors offer a case-study examination of zinc-based force-sensing materials that are cost-effective and scalable to ubiquitous-computing and a prototype developed using ‘each pixel as a sensor’. By combining these approaches, this paper argues that such developments constitute a phenomenological shift away from users’ perception to data infrastructures working as assemblages of hidden technical sensations, and there is a need to expose these complex networks to afford some grasp, if not direct agency, over their micro temporal operation. This work aims not simply to theorise, but to help reveal ways users may revise, embrace, resist, subvert or even live data practices that operate unlike conventional data harvesting techniques.
Elizabeth Marlin: The First Female Voter in Jefferson County
Authors: Johnstone Barbara 
Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT
After the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, local leaders throughout Pennsylvania began to prepare women to participate in political life. In rural Brookville, Jefferson County, voter registration drives were aimed at women and a “voting school” trained them to understand and mark ballots. On Election Day 1920, women drove others to the polls and answered questions about the voting process. Because of her advanced age, Elizabeth Marlin, a lifelong resident of Brookville, was invited to cast the first female vote in the county. A photograph of Marlin at the polling place is safeguarded by the Jefferson County History Center.

The objective of the chapter is to explore the importance of knowledge sharing in the banking management along with organizational culture. To meet the objective of the study, a framework is proposed with knowledge sharing (KS) that is expected to be influenced by organizational culture (OS). OS itself is contributed by uncertainty avoidance, performance orientation, and gender egalitarianism.
Análisis biomecánico de la técnica individual del viraje en esquí alpino de competición
Authors: Gómez López P. , Gutiérrez Dávila M. , Soto Hermoso Víctor Manuel 
Published: August 2020

El objeto del presente estudio es evaluar la goniometría articular de los miembros inferiores de
esquiadores en condiciones reales de competición así como la dinámica del CG y otras variables
que nos permitan exponer una teoría explicativa sobre el viraje en esquí de competición. Para ello
se han analizado tres esquiadores durante la realización de la prueba de Slalom del Campeonato
del Mundo de Sierra Nevada 1996, considerarse dichos esquiadores del más alto nivel internacional
al disputarse entre ellos las medallas del citado campeonato. Para su análisis se han utilizado
técnicas fotogramétricas tridimensionales. Los resultados han puesto de manifiesto que, en condiciones
de competición, los desplazamientos del CG del sistema se producen como consecuencia de
la inclinación del esquiador hacia el centro de la curva y no por flexión articular, así la liberación
de presión para desplazar los esquís hacia los cantos se realizará a expensas de dicho movimiento
de inclinación.
El efecto de la posición de partida en la salida de espalda en natación
Authors: Zapico Augusto G. , Payton Carl J. , Cabello Enrique N. , Peyrebrune Michael 
Published: August 2020

Las salidas en natación suponen, cada vez más, un componente muy importante del tiempo final
de prueba. Los problemas que plantea la investigación de la salida de espalda, debido a que parte
del movimiento sucede dentro del agua y parte fuera, ha hecho que no aparezcan estudios previos
que aporten luz a las dudas que plantean los entrenadores y los libros de texto sobre el tema. Uno
de estos interrogantes es saber si la posición de partida de las piernas debe ser más o menos abierta
(ángulos de la rodilla de 15±5º ó 90±5º). Para ello cuatro nadadores experimentados (21.5 ± 0.5
años, 59.3 ± 1.4 seg en 100m espalda y 27.2 ± 0.5 seg en 50m) fueron entrenados durante cuatro
semanas en ambas salidas y efectuaron un total de tres salidas de cada, para posteriormente ser
elegidas las mejores de cada uno, para cada condición del estudio. Se realizo un test de Wilcoxon
para comparación de muestras relacionadas no paramétricas. En contra de lo que podía ser esperado
no se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los tiempos a 5, 10 y 15 metros en ninguna
de ellas (p=1, p=0.8 y p=0.6), así como en velocidades del centro de gravedad en salida y entrada
(p=0.095 y p= 0.145), altura del centro de gravedad (p= 0.5), o longitud del vuelo (p=0.214) entre
otras. Las similitudes del movimiento con el de un salto vertical sin contramovimiento, salvando la
diferencia de la gravedad, nos hacen pensar que otras variables no controladas como el ángulo de
la cadera o factores coordinativos relacionados con la acción de los músculos biarticulares puedan
tener una influencia mayor que la variable estudiada. No obstante, los datos no paramétricos
nos hacen ser prudentes y esperar a los resultados del análisis del resto de sujetos. Por último, decir
que los nadadores usaban una de las dos variables normalmente, encontrándose más cómodos con
ella. Esto nos lleva a sugerir a nivel técnico el trabajo de ambas en edades tempranas para posteriormente
ver cual produce los mejores resultados.
Estudio in vitro de la actividad citotóxica de resinas dentales tipo BIS-GMA
Authors: Ríos M. , Cepero J. , Krael R. , Davidenko N. , González A. 
Published: August 2020

Las resinas composites se emplean desde hace varias décadas en distintas aplicaciones
estomatológicas, volviéndose indispensables para lograr una alta calidad en los servicios modernos.
Uno de los monómeros acrílicos más utilizados en estos materiales poliméricos de recubrimiento
es el 2-bis-[p-(2-hidroxi-3-metacriloxipropoxi) fenil] propano, conocido comúnmente como Bis-
GMA. El conocimiento de las interacciones de estos materiales con el sistema biológico es de vital
importancia debido al uso tan difundido de los mismos en la práctica clínica. El comportamiento de
una célula viva en contacto con un material extraño es un problema esencial en las aplicaciones
biomédicas de polímeros sintéticos. Los ensayos in vitro son sistemas muy útiles para la evaluación
de los efectos biológicos de los biomateriales.
En el laboratorio de Inmunofarmacología del INOR se llevó a cabo la evaluación de la
toxicidad de dos resinas dentales tipo Bis-GMA producidas por el Centro de Biomateriales de la
Universidad de La Habana: el Obtudent Fotocurado (FC), resina fotopolimerizable para restauraciones
dentales y el Cubridem Autocurado (AC), sellante dental para fosas y fisuras. Este estudio
forma parte de las evaluaciones preclínicas biológicas de biomateriales y equipos médicos
implantables que se lleva a cabo en Cuba a través de la Red Funcional de Implantología del
Ministerio de Salud Pública. Se aplicó el método de citotoxicidad in vitro descrito por Stanley para
la evaluación toxicológica de materiales dentales. Ambos composites resultaron citotóxicos para
la línea de fibroblastos L929, lo que se corresponde con lo descrito en la literatura para este tipo
de material. Su citotoxicidad se encontró en el rango de la de los análogos comerciales evaluados.
Evaluación comparativa de la distribución corporal de tejido adiposo entre jugadores de fútbol profesionales, semiprofesionales y amateurs

Published: August 2020

La preparación física en el ámbito del fútbol ha adquirido una gran importancia en los últimos
años. El objetivo de este estudio es evaluar la distribución corporal de tejido graso en 150 futbolistas,
divididos por igual en las categorías profesionales (2ª A División), semiprofesionales (2ªB División)
y no profesionales (3ª División) de la liga de fútbol española. Se valora peso, talla y 9
pliegues cutáneos grasos, además del sumatorio de 6 y 9 pliegues, relación grasa troncal / extremidades
y porcentaje de grasa (Carter). Se obtuvo el correspondiente consentimiento informado del
deportista y se utilizó el análisis de la varianza (ANOVA) para la comparación entre los grupos (p
< 0.05). Los resultados muestran que a medida que disminuye la categoría profesional los jugadores
tienen un mayor acumulo de tejido adiposo corporal, que se manifiesta en un mayor porcentaje
de grasa corporal, indicando una tendencia a aumentar su depósito en las extremidades respecto
al tronco. La preparación deportiva y la exigencia física son directamente proporcionales a la
categoría profesional, con tendencia a un aumento del depósito graso en las extremidades en las
divisiones no profesionales.
