This article develops insights and generates new lines of inquiry into young children's digital lives in China and Australia. It brings to dialogue findings from a national study of young children's digital media use in urban settings in China with findings from studies in Australia. This is not presented as a direct comparison, but rather as an opportunity to shed light on children's digital lives in two countries and to account for the impact of context in relatively different social and cultural circumstances. The article outlines findings from a study of 1,171 preschool-aged children (3 to 7-year-olds) in six provinces in China, including the frequency of their use of television, early education digital devices, computers, tablet computers and smartphones, music players, e-readers and games consoles. It also focuses on various activities such as watching cartoons, using educational apps, playing games and participating in video chat. Methods included a multistage sampling process, random selection of kindergartens, a weighted sampling process, the generation of descriptive data and the use of linear regression analysis, and a chi-square test. The study demonstrates the significance of a range of factors that influence the amount of time spent with digital media. The contrast with Australian studies produces new insights and generates new research questions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This work is an attempt to understand the rules regulating the National Electoral Institute's decisions. We will apply the tools for analyzing legislative organizations to the ine's General Council in order to understand how the rules and institutions determine votes. Based on this comparison, we will propose a model showcasing the performance of these commissions and the plenary session of the General Council as well as including an analysis of an actual case, namely, the expulsion of the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico (pvem) from the national registry.
