Identifying Frames of the COVID-19 Infodemic: Thematic Analysis of Misinformation Stories Across Media
Authors: Mohammadi Ehsan , Tahamtan Iman , Mansourian Yazdan , Overton Holly 
Published: February 2022

Background
The word “infodemic” refers to the deluge of false information about an event, and it is a global challenge for today’s society. The sheer volume of misinformation circulating during the COVID-19 pandemic has been harmful to people around the world. Therefore, it is important to study different aspects of misinformation related to the pandemic.

Objective
This paper aimed to identify the main subthemes related to COVID-19 misinformation on various platforms, from traditional outlets to social media. This paper aimed to place these subthemes into categories, track the changes, and explore patterns in prevalence, over time, across different platforms and contexts.

Methods
From a theoretical perspective, this research was rooted in framing theory; it also employed thematic analysis to identify the main themes and subthemes related to COVID-19 misinformation. The data were collected from 8 fact-checking websites that formed a sample of 127 pieces of false COVID-19 news published from January 1, 2020 to March 30, 2020.

Results
The findings revealed 4 main themes (attribution, impact, protection and solutions, and politics) and 19 unique subthemes within those themes related to COVID-19 misinformation. Governmental and political organizations (institutional level) and administrators and politicians (individual level) were the 2 most frequent subthemes, followed by origination and source, home remedies, fake statistics, treatments, drugs, and pseudoscience, among others. Results indicate that the prevalence of misinformation subthemes had altered over time between January 2020 and March 2020. For instance, false stories about the origin and source of the virus were frequent initially (January). Misinformation regarding home remedies became a prominent subtheme in the middle (February), while false information related to government organizations and politicians became popular later (March). Although conspiracy theory web pages and social media outlets were the primary sources of misinformation, surprisingly, results revealed trusted platforms such as official government outlets and news organizations were also avenues for creating COVID-19 misinformation.

Conclusions
The identified themes in this study reflect some of the information attitudes and behaviors, such as denial, uncertainty, consequences, and solution-seeking, that provided rich information grounds to create different types of misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some themes also indicate that the application of effective communication strategies and the creation of timely content were used to persuade human minds with false stories in different phases of the crisis. The findings of this study can be beneficial for communication officers, information professionals, and policy makers to combat misinformation in future global health crises or related events.
The Need for Standards Unification in Forensic Laboratory Practices: Protocol for Setting Up the Arab Forensic Laboratories Accreditation Center (Preprint)
Authors: AlMazroua Maha K , Mahmoud Naglaa F 
Published: February 2022

BACKGROUND

Despite the recent trend toward developing and applying quality control measures in the forensic science disciplines, there is a heightened interest to efforts to ameliorate disparate quality among laboratories through the enforcement of standards and best practices.

OBJECTIVE

This protocol aims to set up the Arab Forensic Laboratories Accreditation Center (AFLAC) to act as a key driving legal force for accreditation of the different forensic laboratories in the Arab region.

METHODS

Upon its development, the Forensic Laboratory-Arabian Gate (FLAG) platform will serve as a preliminary stage for the AFLAC, and 2 preparatory steps will be achieved through the FLAG platform: the first one is a scoping study to analyze the international guidelines regarding the forensic laboratory practices in different specialties, and the second one is mapping surveys to explore how the international and national guidelines are translated into practice in Arab forensic laboratories. Development of the Arab forensic laboratories accreditation center will be initiated by building the AFLAC quality management system, which comprises formation of the forensic science committees to achieve the standards required for accreditation in each discipline. This will be followed by the attainment of regional accreditation recognition of the Arab Accreditation Cooperation (ARAC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation. This recognition necessitates achieving International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission 17011 standard requirements prior to official application to the ARAC.

RESULTS

The first phase of our work (the FLAG platform) began in February 2022 and is expected to end in December 2022. The FLAG platform was proposed to the Arab Society of Forensic Sciences and Forensic Medicine in March 2022, and we received approval to host this web development project. Subsequent phases are anticipated to begin in January 2023 and are expected to end in 2025.

CONCLUSIONS

This work describes our approach to provide a valuable tool for forensic laboratory accreditation services to promote the best practice and its consistency in the field of forensic sciences in the Arab region.

A study of primary damage formation in collision cascades in titanium
Authors: Voskoboinikov R. E. 
Published: February 2022

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were applied to study radiation damage formation in collision cascades initiated by primary knock-on atoms (PKA) with energy EРКА = 5, 10, 15 and 20 keV in α-Ti at T = 100, 300, 600 and 900 K ambient temperatures. A series of 24 collision cascades was simulated for each (EРКА, Т) pair. The necessary sampling set size was justified by a simple a posteriori procedure. The number of Frenkel pairs and the fraction of vacancies, εv, and self-interstitial atoms (SIAs), εiin point defect clusters were evaluated as functions of (EРКА, Т). It was established that collision cascades in α-Ti are extended along PKA trajectories and tend to split into subcascades. In contrast to other elemental metals with close-packed crystal structure, εv≥ εi in collision cascades in α-Ti. Moreover, both εvand εi௜demonstrate weak temperature dependence. This is anindirect indication that both vacancy and SIA clusters created in collision cascades in α-Ti are stable in the considered temperature range

There has been a ruling in December 2021 by the High Court in New Zealand that data to do with vaccination be given over by the Ministry of Health to the Whānau Ora Commissioning Agency. The present article, Ngā Pakanga Maramara, The Data Wars, forms a Postscript to Maramara me te Iwi, Data and the Indigenous Group, an earlier paper in tekaharoa.com and takes the argument therein to a consideration of this ruling and the context involved. A similar form is followed to that of the earlier paper and in the example of the High Court ruling and its aftermath concepts of state and ethnicity are considered along with an overview of government and Iwi organisations in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The ruling is considered as something of a change or a breakthrough to new forms of data control. The nature and use of data is considered in general terms as well as in the specific context of the Covid 19 pandemic in Aotearoa-New Zealand. There is considerable discussion of border concepts and practices as there is of mental as well as physical health.
The Use of Language in the Making of Romanian Nationalism from Dimitrie Cantemir and Mihai Eminescu to the Iron Guard and National Communism
Authors: Ţion Lucian 
Published: February 2022

AbstractThis article explores the role that language played in the development of national identity in Romanian cultural discourses from the writings of Dimitrie Cantemir in the 18thcentury to those of Mihai Eminescu in the second part of the 19thcentury. The article also makes use of the theories of Daco-Roman continuity and the theory of Latin descent. Seen in relation to the Latinization of Romanian that occurred in the 18thand the 19thcenturies, these concepts are considered as contributing to the emergence of the so-called Romanian exceptionality. Cantemir’s and Eminescu’s writings are analysed in relation to the rise of fascism in interwar Romania as well as to the transformation of internationalist communism into nationalism after the purges of the 1950s and the re-orientation of the Romanian socialist regime towards the Right. The use of language for political purposes is ultimately considered as one of the elements that contributed to the hold that fascism and nationalism had on the Romanian psyche, so much so that nationalism survived (and was indeed boosted) throughout the socialist period and into post-socialism. The article concludes that this has contributed to the ongoing identity crisis of the national self-image and will continue to do so in the 21stcentury.

Authors: Pirzada S. , Barati Z. , Afkhami M. 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Let R be a commutative ring with unity 1 ≠ 0 and let R× be the set of all unit elements of R. The unitary Cayley graph of R, denoted by GR = Cay(R, R×), is a simple graph whose vertex set is R and there is an edge between two distinct vertices x and y of R if and only if x − y ∈ R×. In this paper, we determine the Laplacian and signless Laplacian eigenvalues for the unitary Cayley graph of a commutative ring. Also, we compute the Laplacian and signless Laplacian energy of the graph GR and its line graph.

Authors: Bulut Vahide 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
The intersection of surfaces is a fundamental process in computational geometry and computer-aided design applications to build and interrogate complex shapes in the computer. This paper presents a novel and simple dual quaternion-based osculating circle DQOC algorithm to find the intersection curve of two regular surfaces based on the osculating circle concept and dual quaternions. Additionally, we expressed the natural equations of the intersection curve. We have also demonstrated the superiority of our method through numerical examples.
DP-solver: automating dynamic programming
Authors: Katai Zoltan , Elekes Attila 
Published: February 2022

Abstract
Dynamic programming (DP) is a widely used optimization method with several applications in various fields of science. The DP problem solving process can be divided in two phases: mathematical part and programming part. There are a number of researchers for whom the mathematical part is available, but they are not familiar with computer programming. In this paper we present a software tool that automates the programming part of DP and allows users to solve problems based only on their mathematical approach. The application builds up the “d-graph model” of the problem to be solved and applies the “d-variant” of the corresponding single source shortest path algorithm. In addition, we report experimental results regarding the e ciency of the tool relative to the Matlab implementation.
