Media Ownership and Its Role in Shaping News: Analysing Republika's 1999 and 2021 Coverage in Light of the 2024 Gaza Genocide

This study aims to examine the reporting of the Israeli aggression towards in the Indonesian newspaper Republika during the years 1999 and 2021, with a contextual reference to the 2024 Gaza genocide. The reports were selected through purposive sampling, focusing on direct coverage from both 1999 and 2021. Additionally, interviews were conducted with members of Republika's editorial team. Using Entman’s framing theory as well as Shoemaker and Reese’s Hierarchy of Influences model, the research identifies notable differences in news framing between the two periods. In 1999, the coverage in Republika largely emphasised political support from prominent figures, both in Indonesia and internationally, advocating for the defence of Palestine. In contrast, the 2021 coverage highlighted support from civil society, including athletes and celebrities. Differences are also evident across several levels of the Hierarchy of Influences model, with the media routine, organisational, and ideological levels being the most prominent. In 1999, Republika’s reporting on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the international section was relatively independent, focusing primarily on political issues. By 2021, however, the reporting followed a compartmentalised model, where one section complemented and connected with others. Despite the differences in time and ownership, Republika's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remained consistent. The newspaper continues to assert that the Palestinian people must be defended, a position shaped by its Muslim readership, who maintain a strong psychological connection with Palestinian Muslims. Keywords: Framing, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, media ownership, the influence of mass media hierarchy, Republika.

Perspectives of researchers engaging in majority world research to promote diverse and global psychological science.

Journal analyses have documented the historical neglect of research pertaining to the Majority World in psychological science, and the need for inclusivity is clearly articulated to ensure a science that is comprehensive and globally applicable. However, no systematic efforts have explored the perspectives of researchers working with Majority World communities regarding the challenges they experience in conducting and disseminating research and ways to address them. Our aim was to explore these challenges from the perspective of these researchers using an embedded mixed-methods design. Based on responses of 232 researchers who engage in psychological research with Majority World communities (68.1% from Africa, Asia, or Latin America, remaining from the Minority World), we identified challenges in three areas: (a) stemming from an inherent bias against Majority World research, (b) experienced by all researchers, which nonetheless are heightened for those engaging in research with Majority World populations, and (c) specific to researchers affiliated with Majority World institutions. Based on the findings, we recommend journal editorial teams and funding agencies: (a) acknowledge and address the bias inherent in the publication and funding process, (b) recruit editorial team members, program officers, and reviewers from the Majority World, (c) train editorial team members, program officers, and reviewers from the Minority World to thoughtfully evaluate Majority World research, and (d) provide resources for researchers affiliated with Majority World institutions.

Female representation among editorial boards of social, clinical, and educational pharmacy journals

Recent studies on editorial team members of healthcare journals have been showing disparities in this distribution. However, there are limited data with respect to pharmacy journals. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate the distribution of women among editorial board members of social, clinical, and educational pharmacy research journals around the globe. A cross-sectional study was conducted between September and October 2022. Data were extracted from Scimago Journal & Country Rank and Clarivate Analytics Web of Science Journal Citation Reports The top 10 journals in each region of the world (continents) were analyzed. Editorial board members were categorized into four groups and determined based on information available on the journal's website. The sex was classified in binary form through name and photography, the personal and institutional web pages, or the Genderize program. A total of 45 journals were identified in the databases, of which 42 of them were analyzed. We identified 1482 editorial board members with only 527 (35.6%) being female. Analyzing the subgroups, there were 47 total editors-in-chief, 44 total co-editors, 272 associate editors, and 1119 editorial advisors. Of these, 10 (21.27%), 21 (47.72%), 115 (42.27%), and 381 (34.04%) were female, respectively. Only 9 journals (21.42%) presented more females among their editorial board members. A notable sex disparity among social, clinical, and educational pharmacy journals' editorial board members was identified. Efforts should be made to involve more female sex in their editorial teams.

Automated Detection of Central-positive Complexes & Postictal Generalized EEG Suppression in ECT-induced Seizures – An Illustrative Case Report (P10-1.009)

<h3>Objective:</h3> We present a case of using automated algorithms to analyze central-positive complexes (CPCs) and postictal generalized electroencephalographic suppression (PGES) in the context of ECT-induced seizures. Our goal is to characterize peri-ictal EEG changes in ECT-induced seizures to define their unique features as generalized seizures. <h3>Background:</h3> Generalized seizures induced by electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) have been proposed as a model to study epileptic seizures in humans. We recently described generalized, high-amplitude waveforms with maximum positive voltage over the vertex (CPCs) during ECT-induced seizures. Furthermore, we developed an automated algorithm for detecting postictal PGES, defined as electroencephalographic (EEG) activity of ≤10 mV following a generalized seizure. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> This investigation is a secondary analysis of data collected from Reconstructing Consciousness and Cognition Phase 2 study (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02761330). A 53-year-old female with a diagnosis of major depressive disorder underwent 5 sessions of right unilateral ECT during concurrent 64-channel EEG recordings. Quantitative EEG analysis allowed for assessment of spatiotemporal properties and spectral content during the peri-ictal period. CPC and PGES durations, quantified by automated algorithms, were compared to those derived through visual interpretation by expert epileptologists. <h3>Results:</h3> CPCs occurred during Phase III of all recorded seizures, with a median duration of 41 seconds. CPC evolved from 4.1 to 3.2 Hz as the seizures progressed. Peak-amplitude CPC scalp topology was consistent across patient’s seizures, showing maximal positive polarity over the vertex and surrounding regions and maximal negative polarity over the subocular electrodes. PGES duration lasted 5–45 seconds (median of 22 seconds) following the seizure and the median time to responsiveness after the seizure was 18.3 minutes. The findings using the automated algorithm were comparable to manual visual interpretation. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> This case presents the utility of automated algorithms to analyze CPCs and PGES characteristics, many of which were comparable to those evaluated through visual EEG interpretation. <b>Disclosure:</b> Dr. Nayak has nothing to disclose.

Inter-Rater Reliability of EEG-Based Encephalopathy Grading (S30.008)

<h3>Objective:</h3> To measure inter-rater reliability of experts in assessing encephalopathy severity using the VE-CAM-S grading system. <h3>Background:</h3> The VE-CAM-S (Visual EEG Confusion Assessment Method – Severity) scale quantifies encephalopathy severity based on EEG features. However, inter-rater reliability of experts using the scale has yet to be assessed. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> We created an online test with thirty-two 15-second EEG samples. Each question asked users to indicate the presence/absence of each of 29 EEG features, 11 of which were used in the VE-CAM-S. Gold-standard was based on consensus of 3 authors (IS, FN, MBW). Ten experts from 6 institutions participated. We quantified performance by average spearman correlation of VE-CAM-S scores with the gold standard, and average sensitivity/specificity. We performed a qualitative analysis to identify errors in recognizing EEG features that most affected VE-CAM-S scores. <h3>Results:</h3> The average [95%CI] correlation between VE-CAM-S scores with the gold standard was 0.73 [0.59–0.86]. Specificity was very high (&gt;90%) for all but generalized delta (77%). Sensitivity was high (&gt;70%) for all but brief generalized attenuations (69%), generalized periodic discharges (67%), generalized theta (63%), BIRDS (57%), generalized alpha (57%), extreme delta brushes/EDB (50%), and generalized beta (50%). Probable reasons for errors were subtlety of some findings; confusing some findings (e.g., generalized beta vs. myogenic artifact, burst suppression vs. brief generalized attenuations); failure to correctly recognize BIRDs (mislabeled as focal IEDs) and EDB (mislabeled as GRDA). The largest errors occurred when experts missed or falsely identified features that carry higher weight in the VE-CAM-S scoring rubric. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Expert agreement in VE-CAM-S scoring is high. Error analysis identified several ways to improve future versions, including breaking high-stakes features into smaller parts; creating a “cheat sheet” with scored examples to allow scorers to choose the closest match; and designing teaching materials to help scorers recognize subtle variations of high-stakes patterns. <b>Disclosure:</b> Ms. Zahoor has nothing to disclose.

Patient Experience and Quality of Life in Mexican Patients with Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder: A Sub-analysis of an International Multicenter Cross-sectional Survey in Latin America (P13-5.007)

<h3>Objective:</h3> To describe and assess patient experiences and quality of life (QoL) in Mexican patients diagnosed with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD). <h3>Background:</h3> The perceived impact of NMOSD on daily living has been described in North America, Europe, and Asia. However, little is known about how patients experience their disease in Latin America. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> This study employed a comprehensive disease burden and QoL assessment implementing validated instruments previously used by The Guthy-Jackson Charitable Foundation in North America and Asia. <h3>Results:</h3> In Mexico, 66 patients were included (55 women; median age: 46.5, IQR: 31–52.2 years; median disease duration: 6, IQR: 4–10 years; 87.8% of them seropositive for anti-AQP4 antibodies). Almost three-quarters of participants (74.2%) reported an initial diagnosis of a disease other than NMOSD. NMOSD imposed a significant negative effect on the QoL (median: 4.0, IQR: 3–6; 6-point Likert-type scale [1 = least impact, 6 = greatest impact]); more than one-quarter of participants (25.7%) reported QoL to be greatly affected by NMOSD. Most participants (69.6%) agreed that the NMOSD diagnosis made them uncertain about their future (median: 4, IQR: 3–5; 5-point Likert-type scale [1 = strongly disagree, 5 = strongly agree]). The impact of NMOSD on QoL and future uncertainty due to NMOSD were positively correlated (Spearman’s rho: 0.39). Financially, more than one-third of participants (39.3%) believe their monthly expenses due to NMOSD were a significant burden. The impact of NMOSD on QoL and perceived financial burden were also positively correlated (Spearman’s rho: 0.33). No correlation was demonstrated between the impact of NMOSD on QoL and disease duration. <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Mexican patients reported their QoL is negatively affected by NMOSD. Uncertainty about the future as well as NMOSD-related clinical and financial burden are associated with this negative impact. These findings suggest that non-medical factors are also relevant in the psychosocial management of people with NMOSD. <b>Disclosure:</b> Dr. Delgado-Garcia has received research support from Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (Mexico).

EEG Findings in a Pediatric Patient with 3q29 Microdeletion Syndrome (P13-1.005)

<h3>Objective:</h3> 3q29 microdeletion syndrome is a rare genetic disorder which results from interstitial microdeletion of a segment on the long arm of chromosome 3. The syndrome is characterized by neurodevelopmental and psychiatric manifestations including intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, executive function deficits, and psychosis/schizophrenia. Systemic manifestations include ocular issues, gastrointestinal disorders, dental anomalies, and congenital heart defects. <h3>Background:</h3> We present a 7-year-old boy with a history of intellectual disability including delayed speech and fine motor abilities, and autism spectrum disorder, who presented with frequent and new onset of complete behavioral arrest, staring, grunting and pulling movements lasting several minutes that were described by his teachers. Spells did not progress to tonic-clonic activity and were not associated with urine loss. His physical examination revealed down slanted eyes, epicanthal folds, wide mouth, long and thin philtrum, thin upper lip and axial and appendulicar tone were decreased. EEG while off ASM revealed excessive beta activity of the background, frontally dominant generalized spike/polyspike and wave discharges, and focal spike/polyspike and wave activity seen independently over the left and right frontocentral regions. MRI showed reduced cerebral white matter hemispheric volume involving the frontoparietal lobes with no obvious seizure focus. He was subsequently started on levetiracetam, which resulted in a cessation of staring spells. <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> NA <h3>Results:</h3> NA <h3>Conclusions:</h3> Seizures have been reported in 13% of patients with 3q29 microdeletion syndrome and are generally mild and responsive to ASM. Previously reported EEG abnormalities in patients with 3q29 microdeletion syndrome include focal epileptiform discharges in the left occipital region and slow waves in the frontotemporal regions. To our knowledge, generalized spike/polyspike wave activity has not previously been reported in this syndrome. Whether the independent focal frontocentral epileptiform discharges represent a forme fruste of the generalized discharges, or the latter represent a rapid secondary bisynchrony phenomenon, remains to be determined. <b>Disclosure:</b> Dr. Sheikh has nothing to disclose.

Analysis of repeated roles in editorial boards at oncology focused journals

Aim of the studyOur objective was to investigate current landscape of editorial board members at oncology journals with a focus on characteristics of editorial board members who serve on editorial boards at multiple journals concurrently. MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional study describing characteristics of editorial board members at oncology journals with an impact factor (IF) of ≥ 10 in the 2020 Journal Citation Reports. ResultsA total of 73 journals in the period of 2016–2020 were analyzed. A total of 5833 editorial roles were included in our final analysis of which 3979 (68%) roles were carried by men and 3572 (61%) were members located in the US. Repeated roles occurred in 1101 (19%; range: 2–6 roles) of total included editorial roles and were distributed in 488 distinct editorial members. Most editorial board members with repeated roles carried either 2 roles (80%) or 3 roles (17%); however, 18 (3%) editorial board members carried ≥ 4 roles at different journals. A total of 23% of editors-in-chief carried another editorial role at a different journal. Only 1% of all editorial roles were carried by individuals affiliated with universities located in low- or middle-income countries. ConclusionOne-fifth of the editorial board positions were held by members who served on more than one editorial board, including members serving as editors-in-chief. Editors with repeated roles may be at higher risk for influence from competing interests and diminished quality of work, may contribute to publication delays, and may limit editorial opportunities for other qualified scientists. Policy statementA considerable number of editorial team members had multiple roles across various cancer-focused journals, including members serving as editors in chief. Such repeated roles limit appropriate representation and hinders diversity in academia. Regulations to prevent repeated editorial roles are needed.

Analysis of Repeated Roles in Editorial Boards at Oncology-Focused Journals

INTRODUCTION In medical journals, editorial board members are crucial to the process of reviewing and/or accepting submitted publications. Editorial team members will need to put in time and effort to review submissions, so it's important to provide them adequate time to provide unbiased constructive feedback. Having multiple editorial roles can lead to biased selection of papers, low review quality, burnout, and a lack of diversity. It is unknown how frequently editorial team members in oncology-focused journals have multiple editorial positions. METHODS We conducted an analysis for a total of total of 73 journals with impact factor (IF) ≥10 and an average of ≥ 20 oncology related manuscripts per year in the period of 2016-2020. Information about the editorial team members was collected from the journal's website and editorial team members affiliated institutions. Repeated roles defined as more than one role in different included journals RESULTS A total of 5833 editorial roles were identified and analyzed. 3979 (68%) of the 58833 roles were carried by men, 3572 (61%) were for members located in the U.S, and 93.76% (5468) were carried by members with high-income country affiliations. Repeated roles (n=1101, 19%) were carried by 488 editorial team members. Repeated roles ranged from 2 to 6 roles for each of these 488 members. [Table] Most editorial members with repeated roles carried either 2 roles (80%) or 3 roles (17%), however 18 (3%) editorial members carried ≥4 roles at different journals. A total of 23% of editors-in-chief carried another editorial role at a different journal. Repeated roles occurred more frequently in men and were more frequent in authors with certain institutions affiliations. CONCLUSIONS A considerable number of editorial team members had multiple roles across various journals, including members serving as editors in chief in oncology-focused journals. Such repeated roles limit appropriate representation and hinders diversity in academia. Figure 1View largeDownload PPTFigure 1View largeDownload PPT Close modal

Pages of Sociological Imagination

A brief reflection of the past five years as Book Review Editor of Contexts and a list of books that spark editorial team members’ sociological imaginations.

Note from the Editors

Note from the Editors Chris Perreira, Editor and Sherrie Tucker, Editor This 2022 summer issue of American Studies marks several transitions. We would like to alert you to some farewells, announce news of an exciting transition in editorial operations, and share some very warm welcomes and introductions to our new team. We say farewell and goodbye to three valued colleagues: Randal M. Jelks, who co-edited the journal from 2009–2022; Elizabeth Wilhelm, who executed the myriad responsibilities of the managing editor position for the past five years (2017–2022), and who is finalizing her dissertation in the department of American Studies at KU—“Realizing Reformation: The Building of the American Correctional Association and the Carceral State”—as we write this Note; and media assistant Ashley Aranda, whose skills upped our blog and design game from 2020–2022. We wish these valued editorial team members all the best with their future endeavors and thank them for their dedication and brilliance which will have a lasting impact on the journal. American Studies has been housed at University of Kansas for over 60 years. The journal undergoes an external review every five years, and goes up for bid every 10 years. We are grateful to the College of Liberal Arts and Humanities for the generous support of these many decades that has enabled us to submit a competitive bid and sustain the journal at KU. However, this time around, when we began putting our bid together, we learned what other academic journal and book editors have been encountering: budget support for academic publishing has greatly diminished since the start of the pandemic in 2020. The College and [End Page 9] the Department of American Studies could continue to support a shared course release for the co-editors and office space, and the College agreed to continue media and layout, but other expenses, such as the funding for our graduate positions of Assistant Editor and Managing Editor and editor stipends, were no longer feasible. MAASA’s bidding process for the journal emphasizes institutional support for these important graduate student positions, and rightly so--these make it possible to produce an ambitious quarterly journal of high quality, and they also provide valuable training in the world of academic, peer-reviewed publishing. So we continued knocking on doors throughout the year, seeking other entities on campus that might be able to pick up some of what had previously been funded by the College. But every unit had been hit hard by budget cuts. When things were looking particularly bleak, we reached out to MAASA to inquire if there were other potential bidders lined up. We wanted to make sure AMSJ would not be left in the lurch. Another university had plans to submit a bid to house AMSJ: University of Minnesota. The KU editorial team reached out to Bianet Castellanos and Elliot Powell at UMN to see if we could offer any assistance and learned that they, too, were also struggling to produce a viable bid. The economics of research support had become increasingly limited by austerity measures at both of our institutions, and beyond. At the same time, the demands of peer-review articles for tenure and promotion are as high as ever. The need for interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journals that nurture scholarship in transnational American studies, ethnic studies, Indigenous studies, disability studies, and gender and sexuality studies is intensified at a time when scholars in these fields are experiencing reduced opportunities for research funding, academic employment, and job security. We decided to explore the potential for collaboration through a joint bid. Over a series of Zoom meetings (which we had all gotten quite good at), we began a series of conversations in which our cross-institutional relationship grew in unexpected ways. We began as competitors seeking to edit the journal for the next ten years, yet each attempt was stymied by our shared inability to secure 10-year funding commitments to edit a top-tier journal. Immediately, we delighted one another with discovering shared visions and values. For one, we all preferred to greet scarcity with abundance. While our proposal for a cross-institutional joint editing pilot project did not yield 10-year...

Exclusion of the non-English-speaking world from the scientific literature: Recommendations for change for addiction journals and publishers.

Background: While English is only the native language of 7.3% of the world's population and less than 20% can speak the language, nearly 75% of all scientific publications are English. Aim: To describe how and why scientific contributions from the non-English-speaking world have been excluded from addiction literature, and put forward suggestions for making this literature more accessible to the non-English-speaking population. Methods: A working group of the International Society of Addiction Journal Editors (ISAJE) conducted an iterative review of issues related to scientific publishing from the non-English-speaking world. Findings: We discuss several issues stemming from the predominance of English in the scientific addiction literature, including historical drivers, why this matters, and proposed solutions, focusing on the increased availability of translation services. Conclusion: The addition of non-English-speaking authors, editorial team members, and journals will increase the value, impact, and transparency of research findings and increase the accountability and inclusivity of scientific publications.
