Examining Rural and Urban Sentiment Difference in COVID-19–Related Topics on Twitter: Word Embedding–Based Retrospective Study
Authors: Liu Yongtai , Yin Zhijun , Ni Congning , Yan Chao , Wan Zhiyu , Malin Bradley 
Published: February 2023

Background
By the end of 2022, more than 100 million people were infected with COVID-19 in the United States, and the cumulative death rate in rural areas (383.5/100,000) was much higher than in urban areas (280.1/100,000). As the pandemic spread, people used social media platforms to express their opinions and concerns about COVID-19–related topics.

Objective
This study aimed to (1) identify the primary COVID-19–related topics in the contiguous United States communicated over Twitter and (2) compare the sentiments urban and rural users expressed about these topics.

Methods
We collected tweets containing geolocation data from May 2020 to January 2022 in the contiguous United States. We relied on the tweets’ geolocations to determine if their authors were in an urban or rural setting. We trained multiple word2vec models with several corpora of tweets based on geospatial and timing information. Using a word2vec model built on all tweets, we identified hashtags relevant to COVID-19 and performed hashtag clustering to obtain related topics. We then ran an inference analysis for urban and rural sentiments with respect to the topics based on the similarity between topic hashtags and opinion adjectives in the corresponding urban and rural word2vec models. Finally, we analyzed the temporal trend in sentiments using monthly word2vec models.

Results
We created a corpus of 407 million tweets, 350 million (86%) of which were posted by users in urban areas, while 18 million (4.4%) were posted by users in rural areas. There were 2666 hashtags related to COVID-19, which clustered into 20 topics. Rural users expressed stronger negative sentiments than urban users about COVID-19 prevention strategies and vaccination (P<.001). Moreover, there was a clear political divide in the perception of politicians by urban and rural users; these users communicated stronger negative sentiments about Republican and Democratic politicians, respectively (P<.001). Regarding misinformation and conspiracy theories, urban users exhibited stronger negative sentiments about the “covidiots” and “China virus” topics, while rural users exhibited stronger negative sentiments about the “Dr. Fauci” and “plandemic” topics. Finally, we observed that urban users’ sentiments about the economy appeared to transition from negative to positive in late 2021, which was in line with the US economic recovery.

Conclusions
This study demonstrates there is a statistically significant difference in the sentiments of urban and rural Twitter users regarding a wide range of COVID-19–related topics. This suggests that social media can be relied upon to monitor public sentiment during pandemics in disparate types of regions. This may assist in the geographically targeted deployment of epidemic prevention and management efforts.

Published: February 2023

AbstractThis study aims to determine the effect of modeling technique content mastery services on the academic resilience of students at Amir Hamzah Medan Private Junior High School Period 2021/2022. The method used in this study is a quantitative method. This type of research is a quasi-experimental with a pre-test-post-test group design. The subjects in this study were 22 grade VIII students who had low resilience. The research data were collected with an academic resilience scale totaling 40 statement items that were valid and reliable. Instruments are given before and after the implementation of content services. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to see if there was a significant effect of providing modeling technique content mastery services on students’ academic resilience. This can be obtained from the calculation results with the initial test score (pre-test) in the experimental group obtained an average = 109.4 while the post-test data obtained an average = 135.4. This can be obtained from the Wilcoxon test which shows that the Wilcoxon level test is obtained Jcount = 115 while Jtable = 66. From the critical table J for the Wilcoxon marked level test for n = 22, = 0.05 according to the criteria for acceptance and rejection of the hypothesis, the hypothesis accepted if Jcount > J table where 115 > 66, from this calculation it can be seen that the treatment in the experimental group means that the hypothesis is accepted. This shows that there is an influence of modeling technique content mastery services on students’ academic resilience at Amir Hamzah Medan Private Junior High School. Period. 2021/2022.
Staging (during) Crisis: Indigenous Zoomlets in the Pandemic
Authors: Waegner Cathy C. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic with its lockdowns and social distancing whirled theaters worldwide into an economic and cultural crisis. The San Francisco Playhouse, however, implemented an experimental theater genre based on computer-mediated communication (CMC) that proved to be highly productive and successful. The “Monday night Zoomlets” presented short plays by, among others, Indigenous authors, embedded in discussion by director, actors, and playwright, with a second reading of the play applying the insights gained. The presentations took advantage of technical finesses, as well as informality and humor, and the Zoom spectators in their home settings could interact via a chat function. This article analyzes three of the innovative Zoomlets focusing on crises in contemporary Native American families, crises that have arisen through the “slow violence” (Nixon) of centuries-long hegemonic colonization. DeLanna Studi’s Flight, Claude Jackson Jr.’s Cashed Out, and Lee Cataluna’s Funeral Attire. All these plays show young Native Americans attempting to reclaim rituals or knowledges through forms of “remembering,” a feature of twenty-first-century Indigenous theater according to engagé drama theorists Jaye Darby, Courtney Mohler, and Christy Stanlake’s Critical Companion to Native American and First Nations Theatre and Performance (2020). Relevant theories of transformations of chronotope, fourth wall, and third skin in performance within the Zoom environment are considered.
From Race Crisis to Race Celebration: Online Body Politics and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theateri
Authors: Alexandru Maria-Sabina Draga 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Throughout the history of the United States, there have been many critical times associated with racism. When other forms of crisis overlap the existing ones – as the Covid-19 pandemic – even more challenges appear, calling for a more complex artistic response. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is well known across the United States and the world not only through their innovative ballet style (which builds on classical choreography and enriches it with creatively processed blues, jazz, and Afro-Caribbean tones), but also through what Thomas F. DeFrantz calls Alvin Ailey’s “embodiment of African American culture” in the subtitle of his book (Dancing Revelations, 2004). This essay looks at Ailey Theater’s politics of the dancing body, with a focus on recent productions included in the Ailey All Access online project, meant to replace a Fall 2021 United States tour that could not take place because of the pandemic. I will argue that the company’s choreographic overcoming and even beautifying sorrow through dance expands Ailey’s healing narrative about African American history to the Covid-19 pandemic. Their recent projects propose a desirable post-racist world, in which those who have been through much sorrow can support those who have been through less, and thus promote a politics of human togetherness, hope, and reconstruction.
The N-Word and Other Sticky Issues: Considering Alice Childress’s Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Relationship in Black and White in the Black Lives Matter Era
Authors: Bennett Tanya Long 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Alice Herndon Childress’s 1962 play Wedding Band: A Love/Hate Story in Black and White mines many of the issues that the most recent US race crisis has brought to the forefront, but in the twenty-first century, a long overdue shift in political climate has raised new questions regarding what is acceptable, even in the realm of art. Childress investigates oppressive forces through realistic, compelling characters and setting, and electric dialogue, yet in doing so, she employs the N-word and other disturbing epithets that discomfit contemporary students, actors, and audiences. In a time when use of such words can result in one’s being fired or sued, do the lessons of this play outweigh the turmoil that such terms can cause? This study argues that they do, with an important caveat: just as words’ meanings are contingent on their context, the positive power of the play is contingent on careful treatment of it, suggesting that current US sociopolitical crises, like those of the past, cannot be satisfactorily resolved by simple rules or mandates.
The Fall of the House of Weston and the Crumbling of the American Dream in Tracy Letts’s August: Osage County
Authors: Moldovan Raluca 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Tracy Letts is one of the best-known and most successful American playwrights of the 21st century, having won critical and popular acclaim both for his writing and acting. August: Osage County, probably his most celebrated play, premiered in 2007 and introduced the theater-going public to the dysfunctional Weston family, who reunite in a stifling, decaying Oklahoma mansion after the family patriarch’s suicide. The Westons’ familial crisis is manifested through addiction, violence, aggressiveness, adultery, rape and incest, each member having their own secrets and troubles. The present article aims, first, to examine how the characters deal with their personal crises and second, how the perceived sense of crisis and decline in the American society at large (both in a longer historical sense and in a sense contemporary to the events of the play) pushed family patriarch Beverly Weston to commit suicide out of a sense of profound hopelessness and disillusionment. Letts, by bringing familial crisis and conflict into the spotlight, shows how the disintegration of the Westons’ family ties mirrors, to a significant extent, the crumbling of the American Dream.
The Many Cri(s)es of Mia In memoriam, to Rodica
Authors: Florescu Cătălina Florina 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Developed as a character in 2011, Mia is part of the world’s first breast cancer trilogy. Mia
i is a personal and professional project because the play’s roots are subjective (I lost my mother to breast cancer thirty years ago), as well as objective (I hold a PhD in Medical Humanities with publications at the intersection between the arts and medicine). This article focuses on the many cri(s)es that Mia faces as a woman. She is in her early thirties when she is diagnosed with breast cancer. The treatment is aggressive and, consequently, not only does she lose one of her breasts (via mastectomy), but she cannot keep a pregnancy. We meet Mia outside of the white and somewhat terrifying hospital walls, that is, we meet her at home, and because of that, we have the illusion that she is in a protected space. We soon discover otherwise.

From Dragula to Cypelles: Wallachia in the Late 1470s
Authors: Simon Alexandru 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
For Pope Pius II, Vlad was John Dragula and his cruelty completed the lamented fate of the Wallachians, Rome’s Eastern forgotten children, still capable of finding recovery and redemption, Vlad included, under the authority of Matthias, the king of Hungary and of Dacia (according to the same pope). Basarab IV, Cypelles for Beatrice of Aragon, that is either “Little Impaller” or “Little Shoemaker”, seems to have been quite the opposite, though otherwise his and Vlad’s “career choices” were quite similar: Vlad went from pro-Ottoman to pro-Hungarian, “chosing” West over East, and Basarab turned from pro-Hungarian to pro-Ottoman, inheriting also Mara Branković’s “medial” stand between West and East, that favoured a pro-Ottoman status-quo at the borders of divided Christendom. Their short “joint-rule” over Wallachia, turned into Christendom’s trench by King Matthias, Christendom’s hope, and Stephen of Moldavia, the athlete of Christendom, is eloquent for the bi-polar survival of a divided state that gradually came to a – temporary – end once both Ţepeş and Ţepeluş were gone. This occurred under the rules of Vlad IV Călugărul, a former monk, Vlad’s half-brother, and of his son, Radu IV the Great, an “agent” of Venice and of the Porte. At that time, the Greek rite Brankovićs were still barons of the realm of Saint Stephen, as well as “registered voters” at the royal Hungarian elections of 1490, the year that stands for both the end of Matthias’ plans and hopes for his son’s monarchic survival and in fact – in early modern Wallachian chronicles – for the end of Stephen III’s 16/ 17 years of rule over Wallachia.
Research of Dynamic Processes in an Anvil During a Collision with a Sample
Authors: Pyr’yev Yuriy , Penkul Andrzej , Cybula Leszek 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The paper concerns modelling the dynamics of the contact system of the tested sample with an elastic half-space (anvil) during their collision. The original elements in the paper include the proposed general approach to solving the problem of contact dynamics. The presented approach consists in determining the force of impact on the sample during the collision and the joint solution of the problem for the tested sample and the problem for an elastic semi-space under the conditions of the assumptions of Hertz’s theory. The resulting interaction forces allow the determination of displacements and stresses.
Rethinking Happiness at School after COVID-19 and Some Implications for Future Research
Authors: Kesik Fatma , Yurttaş Aslı , Taşdan Murat 
Published: February 2023

Abstract

Introduction: This research aims to determine what makes children feel happy and unhapy at school, the determinants of their subjective well-being, and by using this information it attempts to develop recommendations for the ongoing process which is characterized by uncertainty and stress and for education due to the crisis created by COVID-19 and some implications for future research.

Methods: This is a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach. The study group of the research consists of 34 primary school students in the 3rd and 4th grades (between the ages of 8-11) during the first term of 2019-2020 school year. A semi-structured interview form including three open-ended questions was used as data collection instrument. The data were analysed with descriptive analysis technique.

Results: As a result of the study, the main determinants of children’s happiness were found as the relationships which they established with their friends and teachers and their academic achievement. Also, it was revealed that students made references to creating more time for courses such as physical education, music, art, etc. and more free time at school and renewal of school fixtures in order to contribute to their happiness.

Discussion: Considering the students’ opinions about what makes them happy/unhappy at school and the factors that can contribute to their happiness, it can be argued that what is important for children’s happiness at school is their relationships with their friends and teachers. This finding of the research has itself an utmost importance in the current process which the children experience either limited or no relationship with their peers and teachers due to the COVID-19 crisis. Accordingly, this research discusses the children’s happiness within the framework of the researches that prompt us to rethink about students’ happiness in an atmosphere of stress and uncertainty.

Limitations: Although the qualitative method used in this study provided a profound picture of the views of students about what makes them happy/unhappy at the school, its limited sample constitutes an impediment to generalize it to all students in Turkey and the whole participants of the research.

Conclusions: Considering what makes students happy and unhappy in schools in that research, we can argue that even the existence of schools alone, as the main grounds of social relationships, can be considered as a means of happiness in the current process. Nevertheless, future research should aim to determine what makes children happy in a process which the students are deprived of all facilities which the schools provided.
Formalizing English Contextuals
Authors: Gillon Brendan S. 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
The paper shows that contextuals, words such as those discussed by Richard Vallée in his paper, “On local bars and imported beer”, include not only adjectives and nouns but also verbs, prepositions and adverbs. It shows, moreover, contextuals form just one subclass of words whose complements are optional, that is, words analogous to polyadic predicates of predicate logic. Just as different words, when their complements are omitted, give rise to reflexive (to wash), reciprocal (to meet) and indefinite (to eat) construals, so contextuals give rise to an indexical construal. The paper sets out how such optional complements, or polyadic predicates, as it were, can be handled completely with the syntax and semantics of English, without recourse to special pragmatic principles, lexical ambiguity or phonetically null elements. Though not discussed here, the approach nonetheless applies, it seems, to other languages, such as Chinese.
Comparatives in Context
Authors: Korta Kepa 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
In “Unarticulated Comparison Classes” 2018 [2009], Richard Vallée adopts John Perry’s (2012 [2001]) reflexive-referential theory of meaning and content as well as his concept of unarticulated constituents (Perry 1986) to deal with certain context-sensitive elements of the truth-conditions of statements containing relative gradable predicates. I am sympathetic both with the general framework and with the assumption that unarticulated constituents are involved in the truth-conditions of bare positives such as “Monica is tall.” I do not share, however, Vallée’s main conclusions on the examples he provides as pre-theoretical evidence. This leads me to disagree with some details of his proposal for the semantics and pragmatics of relative gradable adjectives.
First-Person Plural Indexicals
Authors: Stainton Robert J. , Sullivan Arthur 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
This is a study of an under-developed topic in philosophy of language, namely first-person plural pronouns (‘we’, ‘us’, etc.) Richard Vallée has made very important progress by identifying crucial desiderata and putting forward an ingenious proposal about ‘we’ which addresses them. We contend that, despite this impressive progress, he makes some missteps, both omissions and errors; furthermore, his proposal appears implausible as a personal-level psychological story. We thus sketch an alternative approach to the semantics of the first-person plural indexical which, though it builds on Vallée’s important work, departs substantially from it.
Fictional Campus: Its People and Their Lifestyle
Authors: Kraszewska Marzena 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
Traditionally, the academic community was a small but influential group of intellectuals more closely associated with their field of study than any university or college. Such elements as individual viewpoints, belonging to a community, collaboration in commonly realised goals, academic freedom, and university autonomy were respected (Billot). Currently, the academic community is a specific type of community, which, as Zygmunt Bauman notes, agreeing with Benedict Anderson, is treated as “a figment of the imagination”2 (34). Unlike in the past, this community works both locally and internationally, being involved in various networks of scholars and institutions. As a result, academic space nowadays has a less physical dimension and refers to the sphere of values, symbols, and meanings, and the community gathers around the thoughts and ideas of distinguished academics (Rogalski 32). In the 1950s, the academic community became a subject of interest in various university narratives,3 representing the uniqueness of multiple aspects of university life and practices and making critical use of them. In this article, I will concentrate on such aspects: makeup, internal organisation, way of life, affairs, and customs of the academic community.
The Academic Conference in Fiction
Authors: Moseley Merritt 
Published: February 2023

Abstract
One of the central features of the traditional professorial career, the academic conference, can provoke dramatically different responses; for academics of a certain age and established status, the conference is a source of nostalgia. And a number of academic novels, particularly David Lodge’s Small World, celebrate the conference in nostalgic terms. At the same time the conference can be challenged on many fronts, including its cost but, even more, its role in catering to, and perpetuating, privilege in the academy, or what one observer calls “the continued feudalization of academia.” Lodge’s original title, We Can’t Go On Meeting Like This, may have been prophetic, as the challenges to continuing to meet “like this,” particularly the resentment of angry academic outsiders, may overcome the nostalgic enjoyment of the traditional conference.
