While the phenomenon of nostalgic heritage travel has gained traction, scarce inquiries have researched how nostalgia for heritage sites can render a means for heritage preservation. This inquiry utilized a multi-method qualitative design, with Study 1 inferring nostalgic heritage travel motivations from travel experiences documented in online travel diaries. Study 2 adopted the psychological ownership theory with data originating from semi-structured interviews to construct a nostalgia-induced framework of reciprocity between psychological ownership and heritage preservation. Findings first unveil an array of nostalgic heritage travel motives ranging from nostalgic reminiscing and glorification to nostalgia-induced playfulness and healing. Further, findings point to a reciprocal pattern of psychological ownership–heritage preservation fostered by three routes: exercise of control, intimate knowing, and investment of the self. Together, this research illuminates a past–present–future synthesis of self–place relations. It presents the concept of reciprocity driven by nostalgia to increase understanding of heritage preservation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: To assess the quality and readability of online health information on vasectomy using validated readability and quality assessment tools. Materials and Methods: The top 50 search results for "vasectomy" on Google, Bing, and Yahoo were selected. Duplicate links, advertisements, blog posts, paid webpages, and information intended for healthcare providers were excluded. Flesch Reading Ease score, Flesch–Kincaid Grade level, Gunning Fog Index, and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG) index were used to assess readability, with optimal readability level for online health information established as being at sixth grade reading level. DISCERN Instrument and JAMA Benchmark were used to assess the quality of selected webpages. Inter-assessment score correlation and results by webpage type were analyzed. Results: We analyzed 44 webpages, including 16 academic, 5 hospital-affiliated, 6 commercial, 13 non-profit health advocacy, and 4 uncategorized sources. The average readability of the evaluated webpages was at a 10th grade reading level as measured by the Flesch Kincaid Assessment tool, and an undergraduate reading level per the SMOG and Gunning Fog indices. Non-profit health advocacy webpages had the best reading level but still was not at the recommended level of grade 6 to 7. The overall DISCERN quality of the webpages was “fair”, with non-profit health advocacy pages performing best. Conclusions: The assessed webpages offer education on vasectomy in a language that is too complex for the general population to understand. Furthermore, several sources for online health information, such as non-profits, outperformed webpages by academic institutions. Increased healthcare collaboration and dedication to producing quality online patient resources is necessary to address these shortcomings and build trust among patients to increase utilization of vasectomy and decrease decisional regret [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study assessed the quality of information about corporal punishment (CP) and psychological maltreatment (PM) offered in 236 on-line parenting blogs. Results revealed that fewer than 15% of posts made an unambiguous statement against CP, explained that it was harmful and/or ineffective, cited research evidence against its use, or countered reasons for its use. Not one post mentioned all six types of PM and the most common forms were mentioned by fewer than one third. Human service professionals should be aware that many online parenting resources are unlikely to warn parents against these harmful parenting behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Psychological resilience has been a topic of ongoing debate in the field of psychology, with a lack of consensus on its definition, operationalisation, and conceptualisation. Meanwhile, young people have been called upon to demonstrate resilience during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LAMICs) where they have been disproportionately affected by the economic fallout. In response to this, this study aimed to explore the perception of resilience and blogging among young people from a LAMIC. Using in-depth interviews with 15 participants, the study identified three main themes: sources of resilience, role of resilience, and process of resilience. Additionally, five main themes related to blogging were identified: what is a blog, video bloggers, advantages, concerns, and experience. The study's findings highlight the importance of understanding resilience from a different demographic, which can influence the development of resilience interventions. This study also provides insights into the potential of using blogging as a tool for promoting resilience in young people. Overall, this study offers a valuable contribution to the understanding of resilience and its relation to digital mental health, particularly in diverse and underrepresented communities.

Human–nature interactions have been identified as an important leverage point for achieving sustainability. Processes to recognize, protect, improve and reimagine human–nature interactions will be central to shift the world to more sustainable and equitable pathways and futures.In the context of the interconnected and rapidly changing Anthropocene, work on human–nature interactions must move beyond dominant linear assumptions of a relatively simple and easily and predictably manipulated world to acknowledge and engage with the complex, dynamic, asymmetrical and unequal nature of the interactions connecting people and nature.Based on three key features highlighted by the study of complex social–ecological systems (SES)—that these systems are relational, open and dynamic—we propose three new directions for the study and management of human–nature interactions that can help to acknowledge and disentangle the globally intertwined and dynamic nature of these interactions.These features suggest new directions and foci for sustainability science: the inseparable and relational qualities of the interactions between people and nature; the cross‐scale nature of these relationships; and the continuously evolving and changing form of these relationships.To bridge the gap between the theory of complex, inseparable and unequal human–nature interactions and the reductionist tendencies in research and practice, SES research raises opportunities to connect local action and global learning; to mobilize and develop new cross‐scale and relational capacities to encourage synergies and avoid trade‐offs; and to explore, experiment and learn our way forward onto more sustainable and equitable pathways.

Rewilding is an emerging paradigm in restoration science and is increasingly gaining popularity as a cost‐effective ecosystem restoration option. A rewilding framework was recently proposed that contains three integral components: restoring trophic complexity, allowing for stochastic disturbances and enhancing species' potential to disperse. However, as of yet, there has been limited quantitative analysis looking at public preference for rewilding and each of its elements.We used a discrete choice experiment approach to determine public preference for rewilding in the Oder Delta. The unique geographical context of the Oder Delta, spreading evenly across two countries, allowed us to analyse differences between the German (n = 1005) and Polish (n = 1066) samples.In both countries, we found that respondents were willing to pay for rewilding interventions when compared against a status quo option. Notably, preferences were strongest for restoring trophic complexity through promoting the comeback of large mammals.In addition, we found respondents living locally to the study region had significantly different preferences than the nationwide samples, exhibiting negative willingness to pay for the restoration of natural flooding regimes and the presence of large predator species.

One of the most vital forms of dialogue for a novice teacher is the inner dialogue of reflective practice. The purpose of this study was to investigate if and how blogging supports the ability of preservice teachers (PSTs) to reflect on their student teaching experience. Findings suggest that blogging may serve as both response and stimuli, providing a structure for interns to consider past and future practice. Perspective taking also seemed prompted by self-questioning. Photos within blog posts may serve as semiotic mediators, offering reflective cues. Furthermore, blogging may offer opportunities for PSTs to process and regulate emotion, important in a profession strained by burnout. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Belief mining and the study of public opinion provide valuable information. Analyzing the feelings and belief mining of social media data leads to understanding users' opinions and has wide applications in decision making and policymaking. This article applies a new method based on deep learning to solve the problems of belief mining for Persian comments on the Twitter. In this method, first, the data is preprocessed with a deep neural network and then classified into political, cultural, economic, and sports classes, and the sentimental polarity is obtained. SentiPers is applied on four different datasets from Persian Twitter, Digikala store, Google translator, and synonym for evaluation. Then the results are compared with other machine learning and deep learning methods such as neural network, support vector machine, DNN, CNN, and LSTM. Python software has been used to implement this method. The accuracy of the proposed word embedding method for LSTM, CNN, DNN on the SentiPres dataset is 0.931, 0.923, 0.916 respectively. For the TF-IDF method, it is 0.837, 0.863, 0.883 respectively. that the accuracy of LSTM-WSD, CNN-WSD model has increased by 8% and 6% compared to TF-IDF. The results show that the LSTM and Word embedding methods work best. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to find out the changing perception of privacy in blog writing among young women. The growth in social media and the number of web pages, and blogs evolved from online diaries and journals in the mid-90s. People preferably started using blogs to publish regular updates about their personal lives, thoughts, and social commentary. The researcher explored the perception of women on privacy through a questionnaire by using a descriptive research design. The data was collected from 171 young women and results revealed that women in the age range 27-31 show more concern about privacy and women with 7 years and more blog writing experience are more concerned about privacy in blog writing. It concluded that women with more age and more experience in blog writing are aware of privacy concerns as compared to younger ones. Further studies can focus on parameters to manage privacy concerns in blog writing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: A temporal network of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptoms could provide valuable understanding of the occurrence and maintenance of GAD. We aim to obtain an exploratory conceptualization of temporal GAD network and identify the central symptom. Methods: A sample of participants (n = 115) with elevated GAD-7 scores (Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-Item Questionnaire [GAD-7] ≥ 10) participated in an online daily diary study in which they reported their GAD symptoms based on DSM-5 diagnostic criteria (eight symptoms in total) for 50 consecutive days. We used a multilevel VAR model to obtain the temporal network. Results: In temporal network, a lot of lagged relationships exist among GAD symptoms and these lagged relationships are all positive. All symptoms have autocorrelations and there are also some interesting feedback loops in temporal network. Sleep disturbance has the highest Out-strength centrality. Conclusions: This study indicates how GAD symptoms interact with each other and strengthen themselves over time, and particularly highlights the relationships between sleep disturbance and other GAD symptoms. Sleep disturbance may play an important role in the dynamic development and maintenance process of GAD. The present study may develop the knowledge of the theoretical model, diagnosis, prevention and intervention of GAD from a temporal symptoms network perspective. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present scenario, Internet communities, forum and blogging sites play a very crucial role to present opinions, views and the comments on various events. As the reachability of sites are beyond the control of national boundaries, sometimes this leads to the conviction and persuasion of thoughts without considering any legal subsequences, and also influence the belief of others as well, thus finding or identifying the sentiments of public from the social media content is one of the major research issue. Analysis of the sentiments of social media data is very difficult to understand as this typically does not exhibit a suspicious pattern in the flow of information like individual's actual opinion on a specific occasion etc. With the advancement of methodology and easy to use, the users of social media sites are now expressing their opinions, sharing their views and experiences through images, text, animation, audio, video etc. Because of the complexity the conventional text based sentiment analysis procedure, a lot of methods have been evolved, however studies suggest mostly more complicated procedure and approaches. Twitter® (or X), is one of the most common platform used widely by individual to express their opinions and sentiments on various events. Twitter sentiment analysis basically deals with the analysis of twitter quotes to find the hidden pattern in the sentiments expressed by the users in past. This paper aims to takes the challenges regarding social media sentiments analysis and developed a hybrid approach (Text and visual sentiment) on twitter data for sentiment analysis by using NLP-based opinion clustering, textual mining, emotion API and some machine learning techniques for visual ontology. Simulation result shows the significance of work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To which extent do we conceptualise digital research objects through the lenses of the Humanities, within the frame of a long-term cultural history or from the standpoint of a particular intellectual tradition? This paper aims at acquainting global English-speaking researchers with a localised French perspective on digital textualities. In the framework of what has been called the "screen-as-writing" theory (théorie des écrits d'écran), a review of Emmanuël Souchier and Yves Jeanneret's seminal contributions shows how a French literary heritage led to the development of an original set of concepts for analysing digital textualities. Throughout an autoethnographic journey, their "socio-semiotic" approach is discussed, highlighting collective uses of several key concepts (architexts, passing signs, etc.) for the understanding of hypertextual objects (software, cd-roms, websites, blogs, social media platforms and apps) and contemporary cultural Internet expressions (buzzwords, experiences, gestures).

Named Entity Recognition (NER) is an NLP field that deals with recognizing and classifying entities in written text. Most Arabic NER research studies discuss the Arabic NER challenge for the Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) language. However, the presence of dialectal Arabic textual resources in social media, blogs, TV shows, etc. is increasingly progressive. Therefore, the treatment of named entities is rapidly becoming a necessity, particularly for dialectal Arabic. In this paper, we are interested in the collection and annotation of a corpus as well as the realization of a NER system for Tunisian Arabic (TA), named TUNER. To the best of the researchers' knowledge, this is the first study that uses the suggested method for this purpose. In the present study, we adopt a hybrid method based on a Bi-LSTM-CRF model and a rule-based method. The proposed TUNER system yields an F-measure of 91.43%. This is an interesting improvement over comparable related work dialectal Arabic NER systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we describe a new command, www.elp, that facilitates direct access to online versions of Stata's official help files or PDF documentation. Addressing the challenges associated with storing, citing, and sharing documentation, www.elp complements the help command by enabling access to documentation outside the Stata environment. In addition to fully using the abundant resources available on Stata's website, www.elp enhances the convenience of citing Stata commands in articles and blog posts, thereby promoting the utilization and dissemination of Stata commands.

Identifying successful approaches for reducing the belief and spread of online misinformation is of great importance. Social media companies currently rely largely on professional fact-checking as their primary mechanism for identifying falsehoods. However, professional fact-checking has notable limitations regarding coverage and speed. In this article, we summarize research suggesting that the "wisdom of crowds" can be harnessed successfully to help identify misinformation at scale. Despite potential concerns about the abilities of laypeople to assess information quality, recent evidence demonstrates that aggregating judgments of groups of laypeople, or crowds, can effectively identify low-quality news sources and inaccurate news posts: Crowd ratings are strongly correlated with fact-checker ratings across a variety of studies using different designs, stimulus sets, and subject pools. We connect these experimental findings with recent attempts to deploy crowdsourced fact-checking in the field, and we close with recommendations and future directions for translating crowdsourced ratings into effective interventions.

Technology has revolutionized legal practice, education, and society generally, yet the availability of new forms of digital media has not significantly changed the locus of legal scholarship. This Article examines whether our collective understanding of where scholarship can exist should expand to include podcasting as a formally acknowledged medium for legal scholarship. Student-edited law journals remain the primary vehicle for disseminating law faculty scholarship, as well as an important measure of faculty productivity and success as scholars, even though most legal research is conducted online. Despite acknowledged structural limitations and biases inherent in the academic law review system, traditional print law journals continue to be more highly placed on the hierarchy than their online counterparts. Alternatives like blogging never achieved popular acceptance as a legitimate site for legal scholarship. The continued resistance of the legal academy to utilizing new forms of media presents a real threat to the relevance and broader impact of legal scholarship. The goal of my inquiry is to promote necessary attitudinal and institutional change to facilitate the ongoing creation of significant legal scholarship in the form of podcasts. This discussion requires an interrogation of whether scholarship is defined by its content, or whether the medium in which it is delivered also matters, but it is not a condemnation of traditional written scholarship, nor an endorsement for podcasting as a venue for every scholar's work. Rather, it presents a nuanced case for broadening the definition of what legal scholarship looks (or sounds) like to build new audiences for the work of legal academics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article proposes the diffractive practice of blogging-with Place as an alternative to a reflective journal. Reflective practice is a priority for teachers, with reflective journaling often employed as a method for documenting a teacher's experiences and knowledge about sites that are intended for place-based teaching and learning. However, when implemented for the purpose of improving place-based approaches, reflective journaling is limited by its grounding in an epistemology that values knowledge as leading to mastery and control over the environment. In response to calls for a radical reimagining of place-based approaches, the diffractive practice of blogging-with Place offers an opening for (re)imagining place-based pedagogies that (re)situate children as part of Place–children common worlds. This article has emerged from a study during which the researcher walked- and blogged-with Gabbiljee, a wetlands ecosystem also known as the watery place at the end of Derbarl Yerrigan (also known as the Swan River) in Perth, Western Australia. The inquiry revealed that whilst the potential for diffractive practice was acknowledged, there were challenges for a teacher-researcher trained in reflective practice to make this shift. The author found that the intentional implementation of hesitating and (de)composing practices intervened in ways that disrupted reflective habits, prompted necessary unlearning and created openings for diffractive possibilities. Using excerpts from two different blogs, the limitations of reflective blogging are compared to the possibilities, challenges and unlearning that transpired when engaging with the diffractive practice of blogging-with Place. Speculative, transparent and emergent, blogging-with Place is an alternative method for documenting encounters with Place. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a role in innate pathogen defense and also trigger B‐cell response by providing antigens. NETs have been linked to vaccine‐induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. We postulated a potential link between NET biomarkers, NET‐promoting autoantibodies, and adverse events (AEs) after COVID‐19 vaccine boosters. Healthy donors (HDs) who received ChAdOx1‐S (A), mRNA‐1273 (M), or recombinant protein (MVC–COV1901) vaccines at the National Taiwan University Hospital between 2021 and 2022 were recruited. We measured serial NET‐associated biomarkers, citrullinated‐histone3 (citH3), and myeloperoxidase (MPO)‐DNA. Serum citH3 and MPO‐DNA were significantly or numerically higher in HDs who reported AEs (n = 100, booster Day 0/Day 30, p = 0.01/p = 0.03 and p = 0.30/p = 0.35, respectively). We also observed a positive correlation between rash occurrence in online diaries and elevated citH3. A linear mixed model also revealed significantly higher citH3 levels in mRNA‐1273/ChAdOx1‐S recipients than MVC‐COV1901 recipients. Significant positive correlations were observed between the ratios of anti‐heparin platelet factor 4 and citH3 levels on Booster Day 0 and naïve and between the ratios of anti‐NET IgM and citH3 on Booster Day 30/Day 0 in the AA‐M and MM‐M group, respectively. The increased levels of citH3/MPO‐DNA accompanied by NET‐promoting autoantibodies suggest a potential connection between mRNA‐1273/ChAdOx1‐S vaccines and cardiovascular complications. These findings provide insights for risk assessments of future vaccines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article offers a sociological study of postnatal depression recovery blogs. Such media render 'failing' and 'ailing' publicly accountable in response to the performative demands of motherhood and the health role. Drawing from nine Anglophone blogs and classic and contemporary scholarship (e.g. on cycles of redemption, the medicalisation of cyberspace), it explores three main themes: (1) guilt, (2) purification and (3) redemption. Analysing these themes provides virtual ethnographic insights on the public drama of medicalised maternal distress. Critically, the limitations of medicalised rhetoric are also considered in a postfeminist context of stigma, deviance, shame and mother blame. Finally, the limitations of this study plus possibilities for future research, policy and social change are highlighted. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recurrent foodborne outbreaks associated with low-moisture foods prompted this study to evaluate apple-handling practices presented in apple-drying recipes available to United States consumers, and to explore the food safety implications of the recipes. Because little research is available on the safety of home fruit-drying, we conducted a systematic search of English-language apple-drying recipes from YouTube videos, blog articles, cookbooks, and university extension sources. Our evaluation found that most recipes excluded handwashing instructions, and potential cross-contamination practices were evident in 12% of the videos. Bruised or damaged apples were selected for drying in 16% of the videos, two blogs, and five cookbook recipes. Although more than half the blogs and videos demonstrated pre-treatment procedures, they did so predominantly to minimize browning with almost no mention of antimicrobial benefits. Drying temperature information was missing in 41% of the videos and 35% of the cookbooks that we evaluated. Even when temperatures were mentioned, most were insufficient for pathogen reduction according to the recommendations of previous studies. These videos, blogs, and cookbooks commonly advocated subjective indicators instead of unit measurements when slicing apples and checking for doneness. Our findings reveal the need for drastic improvements in food safety information dissemination to home apple-dryers and recipe developers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study explored tourists' blogs to identify sustainability challenges and opportunities to inform best-practice management of the whale shark tourism industry worldwide. Few researchers have investigated blogs in the context of swim‐with whale shark experiences as recounted from the tourist perspective. This research was based on a content analysis of a sample of 58 tourist blogs, amounting to 31,509 words of content. The findings explored common sustainability themes within the whale shark tourist experience including proximity of the encounter, nature of the interaction, and whale shark tourist behavior. By comparing three whale shark tourism destinations–Mexico, the Philippines, and Australia–several sustainability challenges and opportunities were identified. The findings contribute to previous knowledge by advancing our understanding of whale shark tourists' perception of critical aspects during their swim-with whale shark experience, which guided recommendations for improved and sustainable management.

The transformation of established academic publishing systems is reshaping the landscape of media studies and emerging publication formats are challenging traditional habits. This article examines open access publication practices through the prism of the Open Media Studies Blog (OMS Blog). With a praxeological lens, the study delves into the sociotechnical dimensions of this shifting media studies publication environment. Central to our inquiry is the concept of ‘lived’ open science. Our open science philosophy guides content curation, format selection, and engagement strategies, shaping the very essence of our scholarly endeavors. By placing our own editorial practices under the microscope, we engage in a form of self-reflection that elucidates the challenges and triumphs of embracing openness. We probe the boundaries of openness, recognising the intricate interplay of financial, technical, social, political, and strategic factors that shape our scholarly endeavors. This study also examines the evolving roles of authors, editors, publishers, and readers in response to evolving scholarly demands. We question whether we are prepared, supported, and empowered to challenge prevailing structures that uphold inequality.

Most children with developmental disabilities (DD), such as intellectual disabilities and autism, live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where services are usually limited. Various governmental, non-governmental and research organisations in LMICs have developed awareness-raising campaigns and training and education resources on DD in childhood relevant to LMICs. This study aimed to comprehensively search and review freely available materials in the academic and grey literature, aimed at awareness raising, training and education on DD among non-specialist professionals and community members in LMICs. We consulted 183 experts, conducted key-word searches in five academic databases, four grey-literature databases and seventeen customised Google search engines. Following initial screening, we manually searched relevant systematic reviews and lists of resources and conducted forwards and backwards citation checks of included articles. We identified 7327 articles and resources after deduplication. We then used a rigorous multi-step screening process to select 78 training resources on DD relevant to LMICs, of which 43 aimed at informing and/or raising awareness DD, 16 highlighted specific strategies for staff in health settings and 19 in education settings. Our mapping analysis revealed that a wealth of materials is available for both global and local use, including comics, children's books, flyers, posters, fact sheets, blogs, videos, websites pages, social media channels, handbooks and self-education guides, and training programmes or sessions. Twelve resources were developed for cross-continental or global use in LMICs, 19 were developed for and/or used in Africa, 23 in Asia, 24 in Latin America. Most resources were developed within the context where they were intended to be used. Identified gaps included a limited range of resources on intellectual disabilities, manuals for actively delivering training to staff in education settings and resources targeted at eastern European LMICs: future intervention development and adaptation efforts should address such gaps, to ensure capacity building materials exist for a sufficient variety of DD, settings and geographical areas. Beyond identifying these gaps, the value of the review lies in the compilation of summary tables of information on all freely available resources found, to support their selection and use in wider contexts. Information on the resource content, country of original development and copyright is provided to facilitate resource sharing and uptake. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regioselectivity is achieved by the choice of commercially available ligands giving fast excess to valuable borylated aryl sulfoximine building blogs. The utility of the borylated products is demonstrated for the formation of C−O, C−C, C−N, C−D, and C−I bonds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we present a novel machine learning framework for web server anomaly detection that uniquely combines the Isolation Forest algorithm with expert evaluation, focusing on individual user activities within NGINX server logs. Our approach addresses the limitations of traditional methods by effectively isolating and analyzing subtle anomalies in vast datasets. Initially, the Isolation Forest algorithm was applied to extensive NGINX server logs, successfully identifying outlier user behaviors that conventional methods often overlook. We then employed DBSCAN for detailed clustering of these anomalies, categorizing them based on user request times and types. A key innovation of our methodology is the incorporation of post-clustering expert analysis. Cybersecurity professionals evaluated the identified clusters, adding a crucial layer of qualitative assessment. This enabled the accurate distinction between benign and potentially harmful activities, leading to targeted responses such as access restrictions or web server configuration adjustments. Our approach demonstrates a significant advancement in network security, offering a more refined understanding of user behavior. By integrating algorithmic precision with expert insights, we provide a comprehensive and nuanced strategy for enhancing cybersecurity measures. This study not only advances anomaly detection techniques but also emphasizes the critical need for a multifaceted approach in protecting web server infrastructures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recent shifts in political sociology have moved away from reification of the state to focus more on symbolic and everyday sociocultural perceptions of political units. Yet the launching points for most research has been state-led programs. To remedy this gap, this paper takes a relatively non-political activity, domestic tourism, and builds a theoretical model of how the circulation of tourist bodies provides legitimation for the material, symbolic, and territorial projects of the nation-state. Using qualitative content analysis of online travel diaries for domestic vacations taken in China from 2006–2019, I find that travel practices are integral to perceptions of and bodily engagement with the geography, history, ethno-culture, and modernization projects of the nation-state. I argue that tourist practices naturalize and confirm knowledge and classifications about the nation-state, making abstract political conceptions into experiential realities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Contemporary literature suggests that music education is stuck in a cycle of cultural reproduction in which music teachers and curriculum writers value Western art music more than culturally-diverse and modern, technology-saturated musics, and train the next generation to hold similar views. A MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) was developed to challenge music teachers' worldviews and to develop critical thinking about the field. In this mixed-methods study, we analysed 18 months of qualitative and quantitative data provided by the more than 1,600 course participants in response to paedagogical 'provocations' to assess whether it was successful in prompting critical thinking and worldview change. We used three methods to interrogate three distinct datasets: basic content analysis of participants' publicly written reflections, statistical analysis of peer marking and context-network maps of peer comments. Between-methods triangulation crystallised our findings. We find that through required peer-review of public postings, an online community of practice formed, that it encouraged teachers to engage deeply with new ideas, and engage in Critical Thinking. We find that those who had a disposition towards critical thinking in the early assessments responded most positively to the pedagogy of provocation and were consistently prepared to question their own worldview and practice.

Background: Chronic exposure of the macula to blue light from electronic devices has been identified as a potential macular health concern. The impacts remain poorly investigated as no validated methods to capture usual device use behaviours exist. Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Electronic Device Use Questionnaire (EDUQ) against multiple 24-h electronic device use diaries in healthy Australian and United Kingdom adults. Methods: The EDUQ and diaries were developed to capture device use across categories (television, computer and handheld devices). Over eight weeks 56 Australian and 24 United Kingdom participants completed three questionnaires and eight diaries via online platforms. Tool validity was determined through Bland–Altman plot analysis of mean daily hours of device use between the tools. Results: The EDUQ demonstrated poor validity in both cohorts with poor agreement when compared with the diaries. When the device categories were combined, a mean difference between the tools of 1.54 h/day, and 95% limits of agreement between -2.72 h/day and 5.80 h/day was observed in the Australian cohort. Across both cohorts and all device categories the mean differences indicated individuals were more likely to report higher device use through the questionnaire rather than diaries. Conclusions: The EDUQ is a novel tool and demonstrated the difficulty for participants of accurately recalling usual behaviour of device use. Poor agreement in reported device use occurred across all device categories. The poor agreement may be related to factors such as memory recall bias, and the number of diaries captured not being reflective of usual use. Future studies should look to address these factors to improve validity of device use capture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to analyze the life narratives of women writers from the Adivasi community of Goa who consider themselves the first inhabitants of this Indian states. These narratives have been published in the blog 'Hanv Konn. Who am I? Researching the Self' organized by the late professor from the University of Goa, Alito Siqueira, whose aim is to give voice to these marginalized and silenced community. The analysis will be done in terms of the concepts of Postmemory (Hirsch, 1996, 1997, 2008), Trauma (Ginzburg, 2008; Balaev, 2008), Narrative (Bruner, 2002; Coracini, 2007), and Life-narratives (Smith & Watson, 2010). We contend that the best way these women authors found to deal with discrimination was by publicly acknowledging their cultural identity instead of veiling it as their parents as well as members of the community at large had done in the past.

Social media have a special role in today's society and this is being reflected in the development of the professions. Social Education does not escape from this reality and to this we can add the lack of studies on the subject. This article presents part of the analysis carried out as part of a wider investigation into the contribution to Social Education of a blog called "Educablog", which has been running for more than 15 years. The aim is to analyse the contribution of the blog to the identity, professional development and professionalisation of Social Education, from the perspective of professional users. In this research we have opted for a qualitative methodology and we have used the lifeline where we have relied on the use of photographs to gather information. The discourse generated in the development of the dynamic shows significant contributions from "Educablog" in the professionalization, professional identity and professional development of Social Education. In the same way, it has been shown that digital media have significantly accompanied the evolution of Social Education within and outside this object of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: Although autistic perspectives are paramount for evidence-based practice and the neurodiversity paradigm, they are often underrepresented in research and have only recently started to get attention from professionals in different fields, including communication sciences and disorders (CSD) and foreign language teaching (FLT). To alleviate this situation, we conducted an exploratory study on the experiences of self-identified autistic bloggers with foreign language learning (FLL). Methods: We used deductive thematic analysis to characterize the bloggers and establish the perceived effect of autism on FLL. Results: Our analysis of 14 blog posts revealed that the typical blogger had an autism diagnosis, spoke English natively, and had learned Spanish or French as a foreign language through formal instruction and/or self-teaching. We also found that all the bloggers acknowledged both positive and negative effects of autism on FLL, with more bloggers focusing on positive effects. Conclusions: Findings highlight the need for professionals in CSD and FLT to (a) avoid making assumptions about the FLL capabilities of autistic individuals, (b) consult with autistic individuals regarding the perceived value of autistic traits for FLL, and (c) engage in interprofessional practice with each other.

This article investigates the role of trust/reputation and parasocial influence in influencing purchase intention among consumers of baby products who frequent Polish parenting blogs. Empirical data was collected by survey (n-1050) of blog readers to construct a model to assess the impact of trust/reputation and parasocial influence. Factor analysis was used to create scores which were then tested using a multiple binary logistic regression model. The research found that while both trust/reputation and parasocial influence were important determinants of consumer purchase intention, trust was significantly more important to baby product consumers than parasocial influence. Additionally, parasocial influence was a more important indicator of purchase intention among younger respondents (under 23 years of age) than those 23 years and older. Additionally, readers who have read blogs for longer are more likely to trust these sources, perceiving them to be reputable. Hence, bloggers should aim to foster long-term relationships with consumers when endorsing products that demand higher trust, such as baby products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hotelling's $ \textrm{T}^2 $ T 2 (HT) control chart is popular in monitoring the multivariate statistical process's mean vector. HT is a global testing procedure which only tells the existence of some unknown change in the p-variate mean. When the HT control chart detects the change in the p-variate mean, the next question would be which part of the mean vector is changed. We call the procedure to answer this as post-HT procedure. The post-HT procedure finds out the p-variate mean sub-vector, which is the most abnormal (is changed the most) given that the global hypothesis is rejected. In this paper, we propose to search all sub-vectors of the p-variate mean and find the sub-vector having the smallest unconditional and conditional p-values. We propose a stochastic optimization algorithm based on the shotgun stochastic search and the parallel tempering algorithms to search the solution efficiently. We numerically show the proposed post HT procedure performs better than the existing forward (MTY) or backward (adaptive step-down, ASD) procedures and the lasso-based procedure in sensitivity (telling the changes for the variables whose means are changed). We further apply our proposal to monitoring the weekly counts of seven emotional words related to suicide collected from all blogs of the company DAUMSOFT from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2010.

Japan’s kimono has seen a gradual revitalization since the 2000s. Especially the renewed interest in antique and meisen kimono has been of major importance. Responding to this, meisen creators in Chichibu have actively started processes of meisen’s reevaluation and re-interpretation through storytelling. Research focusing on the activities and storytelling by Chichibu’s weavers and craftspeople in revitalizing meisen has remained limited, and therefore this research focuses on a case study of weaving studio Arakei Orimono, together with other key players who helped develop and sustain the popularity of meisen in the area. This paper takes up a content and narrative analysis conducted from the framework of storytelling and meaning-making, making use of material gathered through observations, newspapers, magazine articles, testimonials, websites, blogs, Facebook, Instagram, and interviews. The interviews in this research were conducted using an oral history approach. This paper argues that the usage of stories to analyze processes of making has led the meisen craftspeople in Chichibu to develop new insights into how to understand and redefine their craft in new ways, allowing them to reflect on their making processes and the meaning of their activities, contributing to the further revitalization of meisen.

Background: In 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) broke out worldwide, leading to a pandemic. Studies have shown that COVID‐19 patients in intensive care units (ICUs) require more nursing care than other patients. ICU nurses who care for patients with COVID‐19 have shown signs of psychological and physical strain. Aim: The aim of this study was to illuminate ICU nurses' experiences of caring for patients with COVID‐19 in ICUs during the first wave of the pandemic. Study Design: A qualitative, descriptive and inductive approach was used. A total of 70 blog posts from 13 bloggers in the United States, Great Britain, Finland and Sweden were analysed using qualitative inductive manifest content analysis. Results: The results reveal an overall theme: 'An overturned existence under extreme conditions'. Furthermore, three categories—'the virus caused changes in work and private lives', 'unreasonable demands', and to hold on to caring ideals thanks to the support of others'—and seven subcategories were identified. Conclusions: Caring for patients with COVID‐19 during the first wave of the pandemic was demanding because of a lack of knowledge about the disease and the severity of the illness. This led to ICU nurses experiencing extreme conditions that affected various aspects of their lives. Support from colleagues and teamwork were revealed to be particularly important for how nurses dealt with the demands of working during a pandemic, as was sufficient recovery time between work shifts. Relevance to Clinical Practice: Work in ICUs was challenging and demanding, even before the pandemic. This study contributes to an understanding of the complex work environment that existed in hospitals during the first wave of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The knowledge obtained from this study can be used to revise working conditions and identify health interventions for ICU nurses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
