Trait Depression and Subjective Well-Being: The Chain Mediating Role of Community Feeling and Self-Compassion

Although subjective well-being has been widely discussed as being one of the important indicators of clinical depression, few studies have explored how it relates to trait depression. In particular, increasing the number of positive experiences has long been a potential goal for depression-related clinical interventions, but the mechanisms by which such interventions work in countering depression have been poorly studied. Grounded in the cognitive theory of depression, the current study aimed to address this specific gap by testing the mediating effects of community feeling and self-compassion between trait depression and subjective well-being. A survey of 783 college students found that trait depression was not only able to directly and negatively predict individual subjective well-being but also indirectly predict individual subjective well-being through the mediating role of community feeling and self-compassion alone and through the chain mediating role of self-compassion from community feeling. These findings reveal the internal mechanisms of trait depression that, to some extent, impede subjective well-being and offer certain guiding significance for the self-regulation of interventions for clinical and non-clinical individuals with trait depression.

Digital cultural tourism: older adults’ acceptance and use of digital cultural tourism services

ABSTRACT Physiological and psychological constraints, e.g. increased risk of serious illness or loneliness imposed by mobility restrictions, make older adults one of the hardest hit tourist segments amidst during and after COVID-19. Older adults play a particularly important role as consumers of cultural tourism services. To mitigate for lack of in-situ cultural tourism experiences, many service providers have moved their offerings to a digital format, from virtual museum tours to livestreamed concerts. However, previous research suggests that older adults may not be as agile users of digital technology as younger tourists, potentially making it difficult for them to partake in digital cultural tourism. To that end, this paper explores factors influencing older adults’ acceptance and use of digital technology to access and partake in digital cultural tourism experiences. An empirical study drawing on technology acceptance model (TAM) is conducted, whereby 357 Finnish older adults (aged 60+) are surveyed. Findings indicate that digital cultural tourism services are seen to complement in-situ cultural tourism experiences to some degree, but that challenges such as lack of feeling of community and interaction, technical constraints, as well as lack of information of available services limit adoption. Implications for tourism management are considered.

Narrative, Catastrophe and Historicity in Eighteenth-century French Literature

This is surely an ambitious, original and complex book. In it, Jessica Stacey displays a remarkable knowledge of eighteenth-century French thought as well as a solid understanding of how historical narratives are formed and function. Her main aim is to cast light on the ways in which changing perceptions of historical time affected feelings of nationhood and national belonging in eighteenth-century France. She does so by considering a series of literary works and analysing the representations and interpretations of man-made catastrophes contained in them. The choice to focus on disasters of this sort when explaining national boundary formation is properly and intelligently justified by the author. As Stacey points out, ‘catastrophe’, a ubiquitous notion in a time far less optimistic than is normally assumed, acquired in the eighteenth century a new meaning (previous meanings living on, alongside it) partly forged through the opposition between catastrophes willed by God and catastrophes caused by men. The latter, which are the focus of this book, could and had to be properly understood. Whether historical or imaginary, they could be subject to human inquiry and, by the same token, they might then serve as a ‘powerful tool of critique’. In particular, investigating and explaining how a catastrophe had been overcome in the past could offer those stricken the means to face an ongoing disaster; but it could also foster a feeling of unity, supplying an image of a community of belonging which, thanks to its ingenuity, resilience and strength, had once been able to overcome the devastation caused by war or civil war. From this angle, analysing either a real or a fictitious catastrophe could, in some circumstances, more or less unwittingly contribute to forging a feeling of historical community—that is, a national narrative. Obviously, for this to be the case, a convincing continuity between past and present community/communities had to be established. This is a crucial aspect, one that is properly considered in this book. In fact, by building on Reinhart Koselleck’s ideas about changing perceptions of historical time and on François Hartog’s ‘regimes of historicity’, Stacey has been able to highlight ‘catastrophe’s dual role as narrative device and object of historical study’.

Sosialisasi Undang-Undang Nomor 24 Tahun 2013 Tentang Administrasi Kependudukan Di Desa Jenggik Utara Kecamatan Montong Gading Kabupaten Lombok Timur

Population administration is a series of structuring activities in controlling and publishing population data documents through population registration, civil registration and management of population information and the utilization of the results for public services. Therefore, it is important to carry out socialization activities for Law Number 24 of 2013 so that people are more aware of and obedient to population administration. The method used is to provide outreach, followed by direct service from the DUKCAPIL Office after going through the data collection process. By carrying out this service, the community feels helped because this is the first time an activity like this has been carried out in the village. This adds to the enthusiasm of community members who do not yet have MCH, KTP or making KK and changing KK to immediately take part in the service. This population document is vitally needed by the community and must be kept and protected by the state. Apart from that, the expected results are that the people of Jengdik Utara village are more aware of the importance of the population documents presented during the socialization of Law number 24 of 2013 to achieve complete population administration.

The Impact of the China Open 500 Event on Sense of Community: Comparisons of Volunteers’ Pre- and Post-Event Perceptions

Volunteers at major sporting events have become a key element for the success of these events. Therefore, the organiser should know exactly those aspects that strengthen the bond between the sports volunteer and the event. The aim of the present research was to assess the change in volunteers’ perception of community feeling at the China Open 500 tennis tournament. The sample was selected by using a purposive non-probability sampling procedure with a 99% confidence interval and a sampling error of 0.5% (n = 805). The data collection tool was the structured questionnaire applied through a face-to-face personal survey of volunteers before and after the event. The proposed structural model for the perceived community feeling of the China Open 500 volunteers was confirmed via a second-order factor analysis. The results confirmed the existence of the six proposed factors: Administrative Consideration, Common Interests, Equity in Administrative Decisions, Leadership Opportunity, Social Spaces, and Competitiveness. The change in the volunteers’ sense of community from the training phase to after the event shows that there is a direct link between a sense of community and the volunteer experience.

Experiences of Peer Communities in a Cancer Smartphone App Among Adolescents and Young Adults With Cancer

ObjectivesAdolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have identified connection to online communities of same-age peers to be essential for psycho-social support. In this study, the aim was to explore AYAs with cancers' and AYA cancer survivors' use of the Kræftværket cancer app's social forum and experiences of peer communities in the forum. Differences due to gender and treatment status were investigated. Data SourcesIn all, 85 AYAs aged 15-29 were recruited: 46 on and 39 off cancer treatment. The use of the social forum was assessed by a questionnaire, which were analyzed using descriptive statistics, and telephone interviews were analyzed thematically by the Framework Method. ConclusionSome AYAs assessed the social forum to be more valuable at time of diagnosis, while others experienced meaningful peer-support after cancer. Women were more active and diligent users than men. The following themes were found: 1) Common understanding of each other's challenges; 2) Other AYAs' stories increase the feeling of comfort but can also be difficult to accommodate; 3) A temporary and unwanted community; and 4) The interaction is personal but quickly stalls. Implications for Nursing PracticeThe results are relevant to the development of AYA cancer apps, with a view to strengthening peer-to-peer relationships. Although the use of the Kræftværket app was temporary, it presented a meaningful community for AYAs with cancer. The community feeling reduced loneliness and increased the sense of togetherness. The app met AYAs' needs and wishes for peer-to-peer age-appropriate cancer support, which can be implemented and provided by nurses.

Research on the design method of rural public space based on aesthetic interaction concept

Rural public space is not only the carrier of rural residents ' daily life and public activities, but also the link to maintain villagers ' community feelings and the support of traditional culture. It plays a crucial role in rural construction. At present, designers for the design of rural public space, still stay in the " function " level.

Learning From Our Mistakes: Corporate Front Groups and the Limits of Revelation in Climate Politics

Fossil fuel companies have made major investments in mobilizing citizen support in recent decades, funding advocacy groups to stoke climate denial, doubt, and delay. Scholars and activists have tended to condemn these “front groups” as corporate mouthpieces, calling for new laws mandating disclosure of the financial relationship between companies and their political scions. Critiques like these tap into vital political impulses; however, they have failed to fully keep pace with evolving corporate strategies. Today many industry-backed groups openly identify their corporate sponsors, framing companies’ largesse as a means to amplify the voices of unionized pipefitters, local business leaders, and others who want to commend the positive impacts of fossil fuel production. Many so-called “front groups” are not hiding, which renders critical exposé moot. In response, this essay argues for the usefulness of investigating the social bonds and affective experiences of participants in pro-fossil fuel campaigns. The feelings of community, precarity, and risk that help these campaigns cohere can act as important sites of intervention for climate action. I suggest that scholars must consider the limitations of exposé and develop strategies to intercede in the more open ties between fossil fuel companies and their publics.

Socially distanced artistic careers: Professional social interactions in early, established, and late career stages during COVID-19

The impact of the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic on the arts sector resulted in acute, drastic drops in employment, revenue, and events. Career maintenance and persistence in the arts during this period involved substantially altered practices, particularly in terms of professional social interactions, which are known to be essential in artistic occupations. This research uses interview data from 66 U.S.-based arts graduates during the first year of the pandemic to establish how those in early, established, and late career stages experienced their professional social interactions. The findings show that the massive shift from in-person to almost solely online work and connectivity led to a drastic decrease in professional social interactions. Findings show that early career artists have the least social capital, established artists have the most, and late career artists begin to lose social capital unless they actively maintain it. Additionally, the “event-ized” nature of scheduling and attending work interactions digitally reduced feelings of community and collegiality.

Sentiment analysis and emotion detection of post-COVID educational Tweets: Jordan case.

Education evolved dramatically under Covid-19, and owing to the conditions, distant learning became mandatory. However, this has opened new realities to the educational business under the label of "Hybrid-Learning," where educational institutions are still using online learning in addition to face-to-face learning, which has changed people's lives and split their opinions and emotions. As a result, this study investigated the Jordanian community's perspectives and feelings on the transition from pure face-to-face education to blended education by examining related tweets in the post-COVID era. Specifically, using NLP Emotion detection and Sentiment Analysis approaches, as well as deep learning models.

Narratives of Women and Gender Relations in Chinese COVID-19 Frontline Reports in 2020.

This article analyzes the representation of women in Chinese news reports about COVID-19 in order to examine the consequences of the pandemic on gender relations in China. It draws on the linguistic framework of appraisal theory for identifying evaluative language and takes Chinese news reports on the COVID-19 frontline in 2020 as the major data sources. The study finds that while the narrative about women's capacity in combating the virus, resolution in the face of adversity, and sense of responsibility help build a shared feeling of community to reconstruct the disturbed social order, the descriptions about the evaluation and feelings of female characters lead to undesirable outcomes in gender relations in China. Specifically, the newspapers' reports on COVID-19 mainly focus on group interests and accomplishments and overlook women's contributions in containing the pandemic. Meanwhile, the news reports devoted to constructing model female characters that highlight transcendent qualities place considerable pressure on everyday women. Furthermore, journalists tend to infuse their reports with gender bias when depicting women, including aesthetic appreciation of appearance and a focus on emotional reactions and domestic roles, which hinders the professional identity of women. This article sheds light on gender relations in China amid the pandemic, as well as the study of gender equality in media discourse.

Making it in undergraduate STEM education: the role of a maker course in fostering STEM identities

ABSTRACT Making in schools, where students produce and share physical or virtual objects, has garnered increased global attention for its potential to foster twenty-first century learning in STEM and develop students’ inventiveness, creativity, and entrepreneurial thinking. However, there has been limited attention paid to how maker-centred learning environments might plan a role in how undergraduate university students access, belong to, and persist in STEM-related pathways and majors. A regression analysis revealed that sophomores enrolled in the studied maker course were 44% more likely major than a matched comparison group (who did not take the course) to maintain or declare being a STEM. Through an identities-in-practice theoretical lens, we also analyzed qualitative interviews with 10 of the sophomores enrolled. The sophomores interviewed developed skills, expressed varying feelings of community and belonging, and evolved in their conception of Making in relation to STEM during the course. Their identities were also confronted and shaped during the course – either reinforcing or competing with their identity as a STEM person. These findings support prior calls in the literature to go beyond making as just a way to instil twenty-first century skills and consider how maker courses could more intentionally foster all students’ STEM identity.

ANALISIS SENTIMEN MASYARAKAT TERHADAP PAYLATER MENGGUNAKAN METODE NAIVE BAYES CLASSIFIER

Online shopping is so popular with the public because it is easy and convenient to do. The convenience of online shopping is supported by the payment method via paylater. However, paylater also results in bad behavior such as impulse buying. Various responses from the community made researchers conduct research to find out the public's view of paylater. In this study, researchers tried to do sentiment analysis using the Naive Bayes Classifier and TextBlob methods from the TetxBlob library with the Python programming language. From the dataset collected via Twitter, it produces 405 data. Sentiment analysis using the Naive Bayes Classifier method produces a negative sentiment of 70.62% or 286 data, positive sentiment is 22.72% or 92 data, neutral sentiment is 6.67% or 27 data. Meanwhile, using the TextBlob method also produced more negative sentiment, namely 55.8% or 226 data, positive sentiment collected 33.09% or 134 data, neutral sentiment amounted to 11.11% or 45 data. Thus, it can be concluded that the community feels unfavorable towards the use of paylater. In testing the model with the confussion matrix, it can be seen that the Naive Bayes Classifier algorithm is more accurate by 91% compared to TextBlob which is only 61%.

Stakeholders’ experiences and perception on transitional care initiatives within an integrated care project in Belgium: a qualitative interview study

BackgroundIn 2015, a plan for integrated care was launched by the Belgium government that resulted in the implementation of 12 integrated care pilot project across Belgium. The pilot project Zorgzaam Leuven consists of a multidisciplinary local consortium aiming to bring lasting change towards integrated care for the region of Leuven. This study aims to explore experiences and perceptions of stakeholders involved in four transitional care actions that are part of Zorgzaam Leuven.MethodsThis qualitative case study is part of the European TRANS-SENIOR project. Four actions with a focus on improving transitional care were selected and stakeholders involved in those actions were identified using the snow-ball method. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted and inductive thematic analysis was performed.ResultsProfessionals appreciated to be involved in the decision making early onwards either by proposing own initiatives or by providing their input in shaping actions. Improved team spirit and community feeling with other health care professionals (HCPs) was reported to reduce communication barriers and was perceived to benefit both patients and professionals. The actions provided supportive tools and various learning opportunities that participants acknowledged. Technical shortcomings (e.g. lack of integrated patient records) and financial and political support were identified as key challenges impeding the sustainable implementation of the transitional care actions.ConclusionThe pilot project Zorgzaam Leuven created conditions that triggered work motivation for HCPs. It supported the development of multidisciplinary care partnerships at the local level that allowed early involvement and increased collaboration, which is crucial to successfully improve transitional care for vulnerable patients.
