Rethinking the Cultural Relations between Hong Kong and China: An Analysis of the Chinese Reception of Stephen Chow’s Films

This is a cultural sociological study of the mainland Chinese reception of the films of Stephen Chow, the popular Hong Kong actor and director. This study’s theoretical objective is to rethink the cultural relations between post-handover Hong Kong and China. Its empirical analysis challenges five major frameworks of studying post-handover Hong Kong culture that interpret Hong Kong–China cultural relations as hegemonic and conflictual. The study’s first substantive section establishes that the Chinese reception of Chow’s films has been very positive and well participated. The second and third sections illustrate that the Chinese scholarly reception of Chow’s films and the Chinese popular audience reception of them stress their counter-hegemonic characteristics. This study’s data include the hundreds of Chinese-language publications on Chow, online sources, and interviews with twenty-four informants.

Automated News Reading in the Neural Age: Audience Reception and Perceived Credibility of a News Broadcast Read By a Neural Voice

ABSTRACT Automated journalism is rapidly developing in the news industry. Among the most recent and promising technological potentials are neural voices, i.e., text-to-speech technology powered by neural networks. Based on a reception analysis with in-depth qualitative interviews (N = 12), this study explores how Danish radio listeners receive a full news broadcast read by a neural voice and perceive the credibility of the neural reader and the news content. Results show that the participants divide into two types: the perspicacious listeners who realize or suspect that the news reading is artificially synthesized and, to some degree, are annoyed by it, and the oblivious listeners who believe the news is read by a human and are predominantly positive towards it. Participants from both groups pay particular attention to voice emotionality when evaluating the appropriateness of the neural news reader. Also, they tend to attribute human characteristics to the neural news reader. The participants single out the news messages as well as the media organization behind the news broadcast, rather than the neural voice itself as critical components constituting credibility. Transparency is of great importance when applying a neural voice in a news broadcast, since it is a prerequisite for credibility.

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA) to Guide Personalized Embryo Transfer with Conventional Frozen Embryo Transfer in 281 Chinese Women with Recurrent Implantation Failure.

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the effectiveness of endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA)-guided personalized embryo transfer (pET) with conventional frozen embryo transfer (FET) in 281 Chinese women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).Material/MethodsA total of 281 eligible patients with RIF were recruited and assigned to ERA (ERA followed by pET) and FET groups. The clinical pregnancy outcomes were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the ERA and FET groups in terms of endometrial thickness on the day of embryo transfer, mean attempts of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment, anti-Mullerian hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, or antral follicle count in the fresh cycle (P>0.05). The ERA test identified 35% of samples as receptive and 65% as nonreceptive, and comparable pregnancy outcomes were observed between receptive and nonreceptive patients (P>0.05). Higher pregnancy and implantation rates were found in the ERA group than in the FET group (P<0.01), while no significant differences were detected between the 2 groups in terms of miscarriage rates (P>0.05).ConclusionsIn this study of Chinese women with RIF undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, ERA-guided pET resulted in a significant improvement in pregnancy and implantation rates when compared with FET.

The genre of ballad in cinematic discourse (the cinema ballad “Wild flowers“ (2000) by the Czech director F. A. Brabec)

The objective of the article is to analyze the specifics of cinematic interpretation of the ballads from the collection “A Bouquet of Czech Folk Legends” (1853), written by a famous Czech writer and folklorist K.J. Erben, in the film by F.A. Brabec “Wild Flowers” (2000) within the concept of genre continuity. Methods of research: comparative method, method of intermedial and receptive analysis. Novelty of research: the issue of intermedially oriented genre continuity is investigated for the first time within the discourse of Ukrainian Literary Criticism. Conclusions. The cinematic text of the director F. Brabec fully preserves and conveys all the basic codes of the genre of literary ballad: the preciseness of the narrative, the depth of disclosure of life, the severity of the situations described, the limited personosphere, the dramatic and unexpected denouement. Therefore, the above texts are perceived as short “concentrated tragedies”. In addition, the director broadens the main text of the ballads, supplementing each plot with a backstory; he actively applies montage and film trails, as well as reduces time parameters, fragments and dialogues, at the same time preserving the main content of the original. Particular emphasis in the research has been laid on the fact that each ballad, reproduced by means of cinematic language (“Bouquet”, “The Water-Goblin”, “The Wedding Shirts”, “Lady Midday”, “The Golden Spinning Wheel”, “Daughter’s Curse”, “Christmas Eve”), is presented as a completed independent text and is regarded as an indispensable part of the holistic author’s concept.

The Entrepreneurs' Acceptence Ability in Learning The Use of Digital Media

In today's digital era, learning the use of digital media for entrepreneurs is mostly done by imitation through various role models on digital media such as content creators who display various content strategies for business development. However, success in learning through observation on digital media depends on the entrepreneurial receptivity ability to assess, interpret and apply the knowledge gained from the observed results. This study aims to investigate the acceptance of entrepreneurs in learning the use of digital media in an effort to develop their business. The research was conducted with a qualitative approach using a case study method on six novice entrepreneurs from micro, small and medium enterprises in Surakarta City, Indonesia. In-depth interviews were conducted from October 2020 – to March 2021. The results showed that three entrepreneurs in each use of digital media strategies were in a dominant acceptance position, two entrepreneurs were in a negotiating position, and one entrepreneur was in an oppositional position. Entrepreneurial receptions in the three acceptance positions show, among other things, in the dominant acceptance the entrepreneur makes a similar imitation, in the negotiated acceptance the entrepreneur carries out development, and in the oppositional acceptance the entrepreneur makes a new version.

TV Representations of Autism Spectrum Disorder:

This research took the form of two stages. On an academic level, it seeks to uncover the links between representations of ASD TV through a Cross-Cultural analysis of South Korea (SK) and the West by utilising a case study It’s Okay to Not be Okay. An argument is made that the case study represents an accurate understanding of ASD, but also of the family values surrounding it, such as the relationship those with ASD have with their family and siblings. Through a textual analysis, it was uncovered that the case study has accurate portrayals of ASD through its character Moon Sang-Tae (Oh Jung-Se). Not only this, but realistic portrayals of the relationship between family and siblings of disabled persons was uncovered, mainly relating to the character of Moon Gang-Tae (Kim Soo-Hyun). A reception analysis was then undertaken to understand if and how audiences in South Korea and the West reacted to these portrayals. Western/International audiences openly discussed the portrayal and family relationships and believed it to be accurate, as well as educational. South Korean audiences were reluctant perhaps due to a more conservative culture, to discuss the representation of ASD as well as the sibling-caretaker relationship. Therefore, there is a cultural difference in the way in which audiences interpret and understand representations of ASD, as well as familial relationships around those with ASD.

Malay Text Reception among Sufi Orders in West Java: A Study on Wawacan Layang Siti Hasanah

The article discusses the active reception of Malay texts among members of the Qadiriyah wa Naqshabandiyah (TQN) Sufi order in West Java. It focuses on the text entitled Wawacan Layang Siti Hasanah.

The Meaning of Millennial Generation Text: Reception Analysis of #KidsJamanNow

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The term ‘Kids Jaman Now’ (Children Today) appears on various social media sites through content that represents the activities of young people in the current era. There are more than 1.6 million pieces of content on Instagram and more than 270 thousand pieces of content on YouTube which use the hashtag ‘Kids Jaman Now’. Through these contents, young people are perceived as a narcissistic, individualistic generation with a setback in moral values. This study uses reception analysis by conducting in depth interviews on a number of millennial generation informants who consume ‘Kids Jaman Now’ contents to find out how they interpret the content. This study aims to show that young people who use social media are not consumers who receive messages passively; they have critical power towards the content they consume as digital natives who have better literacy than previous generations. The millennial generation has three different acceptances of this phenomenon. The first considers the content of ‘Kids Jaman Now’ to represent a narcissistic, individualistic, and deteriorating moral values generation. The second considers ‘Kids Jaman Now’ content as creativity for young people who entertain others and master digital communication technology.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Проблемы «женской идентификации» в драме Гаяза Исхаки «В пучине» («Дулкын эчендә»)

The purpose of the research is to determine the peculiarities of artistic realisation of the “women’s identification” issue in the play «Дулкын эчендә» (“In the Abyss”, 1920) by the Tatar writer Gajaz Ishaki (1878-1954). The paper clarifies women’s role as a creative principle, determines how the question of “women’s freedom” is raised in the play. Scientific novelty of the research is accounted for by the fact that this topic has not been studied extensively and lies in conducting a comprehensive and receptive analysis of G. Ishaki’s philosophical and aesthetic views on the issues of “women’s autonomy”, “women’s culture”. As a result, the researchers have proved that Gajaz Ishaki artistically realises the idea that the heroine’s self-identification only as a mother and wife and her further understanding that life is unique give rise to her identifying her own uniqueness as a woman. However, this process is not straightforward and leads to changes in the heroine’s self-consciousness, which is based on the national worldview.

A survey study of endometrial receptivity tests and immunological treatments in in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

Suboptimal endometrial receptivity is a key factor behind in vitro fertilisation (IVF) implantation failure. Direct clinical tests of the endometrium of natural killer (NK) cells and endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) are controversial. To examine the current practice of endometrial receptivity tests (NK cells and ERA) and immunological treatments (corticosteroids, anticoagulants, antiplatelets, intravenous immunoglobulin, Intralipid, other) among fertility specialists in Australia and New Zealand. A prospective 23-item web-based survey was distributed by email via the Fertility Society of Australia and New Zealand, between August and October 2020. Data were collected and analysed using Qualtrics. Of 238 fertility specialists, 90 completed the survey (response rate 37.8%). ERA (48/90, 53.3%) was most commonly ordered, followed by uterine NK (uNK) (36/90, 40.0%) and peripheral blood NK (pNK) (12/90, 13.3%). For all tests, the most common indication was recurrent implantation failure (RIF) (41/48, 22/36, 6/12; 85.4%, 61.1%, and 50.0%, respectively for ERA, uNK and pNK). Of those that did not offer these tests, the main reason cited was insufficient evidence (30/42, 47/54, 68/78; 71.4%, 87.0%, and 87.0%). A third of specialists offered empirical immunological treatment for RIF (30/90, 33.3%): anticoagulants (28/30, 93.3%), antiplatelets (27/30, 90.0%), and corticosteroids (25/30; 83.3%). The majority of specialists (56/90, 62.2%) stated they had refused a patient request for endometrial testing or treatment. Tests for presumed endometrial receptivity pathology are often used in Australia and New Zealand. Immunological treatments for RIF are commonly employed empirically, without strong evidence of their effectiveness or safety. Further studies should focus on education and clinical adherence to evidence-based guidelines.

Do clinical outcomes differ for day-5 versus day-6 single embryo transfers controlled for endometrial factor?

Research questionIs there is a difference in clinical outcomes between day-5 versus day-6 blastocysts when transferred in a personalized embryo transfer (PET) cycle guided by Endometrial Receptivity Analysis (ERA)? DesignMulticentre, retrospective study; 260 patients who underwent a single embryo transfer with either a day-5 or day-6 blastocyst in a PET cycle guided by ERA between January 2017 and December 2019. ResultsA total of 260 blastocysts were transferred in a single embryo PET cycle guided by ERA. Of those, 183 (70.4%) were day-5 blastocysts and 77 (29.6%) were day-6 blastocysts. Clinical outcomes were similar when transferring day-5 blastocysts versus day-6 blastocysts: pregnancy rate was 75.4% (138/183) and 70.1% (54/77) (P = 0.465); implantation rate was 67.8% (124/183) and 63.6% (49/77) (P = 0.476); and ongoing pregnancy rate was 57.9% (106/183) and 58.4% (45/77) (P = 0.728), respectively. ConclusionsThe data suggest that the clinical potential of day-5 and day-6 blastocysts are similar, as no difference in clinical outcomes are observed when transferring at the time of optimal endometrial receptivity as determined by ERA.

This is simplified to the point of banality.

This study offers a contribution to the reception analysis of TV doc­umentaries by focusing on viewer opinions expressed on social me­dia. It analyses German and English comments from YouTube and Facebook in order to find out what aspects of documentaries the audience comments on. More specifically, it describes how the viewers evaluate strategies that the producers use for simplifying complex content while still creating an appealing and entertaining media product. The results imply that most viewers appreciate informative shows that are entertaining at the same time. They also show that viewers tend to focus on the music and image, rather than on the spoken text, and that documentaries where nature plays an important role are judged more positively than science and history documentaries.

Raptus en die ‘vorm van die wil’: ’n Transgressiewe lesing van Foucault se Augustinus-interpretasie in Les aveux de la chair

Raptus and the ‘form of the will’: A transgressive reading of Foucault’s interpretation of Augustine in Les aveux de la chair . This article presents a reading of Michel Foucault’s (1926–1984) interpretation of Augustine of Hippo’s (354–430) views on sex in Histoire de la sexualité 4 ( Les aveux de la chair ), published in February 2018 at Gallimard in Paris under editorship of Frédéric Gros. The article contributes to the reception and ongoing analyses of Les aveux de la chair by presenting a transgressive reading of the Augustinian prioritisation of the will, and Foucault’s emphasis on the Augustinian notion of sexual desire as the ‘form of the will’. Raptus or ‘divine orgasm’ is presented from the texts of several female mystics from the central Middle Ages as an example of a sexual context in which the will is unable to claim the pinnacle position Augustine attributed to it, precisely as a form of identity – and language transgressing eroticism in the ‘mystical presence of God’. Foucault’s reading of John Cassian’s (ca.360–435) ‘battle for chastity’ is presented as the discursive background of his interpretation of Augustine, followed by a presentation of raptus as a resource to reconsider Augustine’s prioritisation of the will (and the ‘problem of the libido’) in sexual contexts. Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: Foucault’s reading of the church and desert fathers in Histoire de la sexualité 4 ( Les aveux de la chair ) impacts early Medieval philosophy, early Medieval history, church history, patristics, philosophy of religion and sociology of religion. Since these proximate disciplines are affected by Foucault’s text, they may well take note of the ongoing examinations of this recently edited work.
