“Desiring a puppy-like lover”: older women and younger men romantic TV dramas and Chinese postfeminism

ABSTRACT Older Women and Younger Men Romantic TV dramas, which center on the love story between an older woman and her younger lover, have emerged as a popular television genre in China in recent years. Using textual analysis as its methodology, this article examines two examples of this genre—Falling into You (2022) and Love the Way You Are (2022)—focusing on three key aspects of these dramas: their potential redirection of heterosexual women viewers’ ambitions for career success toward desires for heterosexual romance, their celebration of women’s sexual agency within the framework of chaste heterosexual love, and their incorporation of individualist, collectivist, and nationalist ideologies. The article argues that these dramas are exemplary of Chinese postfeminism, which intertwines progressive and regressive elements and both shares similarities with and diverges from its Western counterpart due to the influence of Chinese reality and history. Based on this discussion, the article aims to illustrate the recent characteristics of Chinese postfeminist media, particularly its tendency to cloak regressive elements in progressive claims, as well as the “nuanced interconnections” between Chinese and Western postfeminism.

Molecular Phylogenetic Relationships and Cultural Conditions of Calocybe indica

Calocybe indica known as a milky white, indigenous and medicinally important edible mushroom. The cultural conditions, molecular identification, and phylogenetic relationships of selected strains of Calocybe indica were examined. The optimal temperature for mycelial development was found to be 30°C, whereas the lowest growth occurred at 15°C. The most favorable growth occurs at a pH of 5. Based on the growth characteristics of various culture media, potato dextrose agar proved to be the most advantageous, while Hennerberg and Czapek Dox media were less suitable. Molecular identification and the phylogenetic relationships of the chosen IUM strains of C. indica were examined through their ITS and RAPD analyses. The selected strains of C. indica had total sequence lengths of ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S rDNA ranging from 570 to 620 bp. The sizes of the ITS1 and ITS2 regions vary among strains, with ITS2 showing greater variety than ITS1. All strains contained identical 5.8S rDNA sequences, according to sequencing analysis. Eleven out of the twenty arbitrary 10-base oligonucleotide primers utilized to amplify genomic DNA segments for the chosen C. indica strains were effective. RAPD-PCR resulted in distinct multiple products, demonstrating significant variability among the strains assessed. The quantity of amplified bands differed based on the primers utilized or the strains evaluated. The DNA polymorphisms displayed consistent traits in the replicated trials. Thus, it can be concluded that ITS sequencing and RAPD methods were effective in identifying the genetic diversity of the chosen strains of Calocybe indica.

Pore-scale modeling of biofilm formation and biofilm-induced anomalous transport features in heterogenous porous media

Internally diketopyrrolopyrrole-bridged bis-anthracene macrocycle: a multifunctional fluorescent platform.

A covalently bridged macrocycle (5) comprising two anthracene strands connected at the lactam positions of a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) chromophore has been constructed. The crystal structure reveals that the central DPP chromophore is wrapped with the externally twisted bis-anthracene macrocycle. The internally bridged macrocycle architecture endows 5 with multifunctional properties. Due to shielding by the double anthracene straps, 5a and a polymer derived from it, DPP-Cycle, display strong fluorescence emission features in both organic media and the solid state. Moreover, the emission colors of these macrocyclic materials can be effectively tuned through external stimuli such as mechanical and thermal treatments, as well as solvent fuming. Compound 5a is stable in the presence of most metal cations but degrades rapidly when it comes in contact with Cu2+ in acetonitrile. This decomposition, which is thought to involve a reaction at the central DPP via a radical-mediated mechanism, was found to be accelerated in 5a compared to the non-cyclic analogue 2a. This leads us to suggest that internally bridged macrocycles, such as those described here, may have a role to play as fluorescent Cu2+ sensors. Finally, the high fluorescence of 5a in the solid state enables its use in the area of latent fingerprint (LFP) imaging.

A Pressure- and Frequency-Dependent Multiscale Model for Describing the Wave Propagation Characteristics of Fluid-Saturated Porous Media

Abstract The mechanism of wave propagation in fluid-saturated porous media is influenced by pressure and frequency. Pressure dependence is mainly dominated by the opening and closing of compliant and stiff pores in rocks, as well as nonlinear deformation respect to high-order elastic constants. Frequency dependence is mainly reflected in the dispersion and attenuation caused by wave-induced fluid flow (WIFF). Therefore, the propagation characteristics of seismic waves in subsurface rocks when pressure and frequency are coupled have broad practical significance, such as geofluid discrimination and in situ stress detection. A new equivalent elastic modulus applicable to fluid-saturated porous media has been established, which simultaneously considers the effects of pressure and WIFF. First, the dual-porosity model is incorporated to account for the changes in rock porosity under pressure and corresponding linear and nonlinear deformations. Then, based on the heterogeneity of rock at the mesocale and microscale, a unified pressure- and frequency-dependent elastic modulus over a wide frequency band is established using the Zener model. The wave equation of fluid-saturated porous media is constructed using the new model, and the pressure- and frequency-dependent phase velocities are derived. Rock physics and digital simulation experiments are applied to analyze the variation of elastic parameters and velocity with pressure and frequency. Comparison with experimental measurement data shows that the new model has higher accuracy than traditional models, especially in the low effective pressure region and the frequency band respect to seismic exploration.

Transformation and Connected Commodification on YouTube Content of Married Indonesian Micro-Celebrities Women with Foreign Men

This research examines the commoditized transformation of motherhood in the relationship between economy and culture in the era of social media (Fuchs, 2015a). This study questions the interconnectedness of the commodification process of content, audiences and workers (Fuchs, 2015b; Mosco, 2009; Ørmen & Gregersen, 2022) by focusing on micro-celebrity mothers (Abidin & Brown, 2019). This study focuses on mother micro-celebrities who commodify family life through the YouTube platform. Researchers focus on Indonesian mothers who are married to foreign nationals. Micro-celebrity mothers, based on observation, commodify the process of cultural exchange in the family as a form of informal work. The researcher examined the lives of micro-celebrity mothers, especially migrants without formal employment, to understand how social media features on the YouTube platform are useful in the commodification of daily life content. This research uses the content analysis method to look at the content of messages (Krippendorff, 2019) from a systematic and objective view of documentation. The results of this study show that the commodification of mother content is not only a domestic figure as an ideal childcare provider, but also a market actor who influences audience preferences, while bearing the burden of production and distribution as labor.

Cyber warfare: a study of Zelenskyy’s social media political performance strategies and effects

During the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has strategically used social media to appeal for international support. This reflects a broader trend of political figures relying on digital platforms to shape public opinion and influence global narratives during crises. This work uses three main analysis methods, content, sentiment and social network analysis. The searched and collected dataset consists 604 valid tweets and 58,100 corresponding comments. The findings show that Zelenskyy employs both textual and visual narratives to construct a war-related agenda, influencing international public discourse. His agenda-setting is most effective in the early stages of the conflict but weakens over time. This study highlights Zelenskyy’s flexibility and adaptability in his media strategy, illustrating the evolving nature of political performance in a globalized media landscape. To maintain effective communication and image-building, leaders must balance audience psychology with the characteristics of digital media.

Two-Photon and Three-Photon Circular Dichroism of Au38 Gold Nanoclusters Enantiomers.

While circular dichroism (CD) and optical activity (OA) are well established as optical effects used in characterization of chiral media, harmonic generation and multiphoton circular dichroism are increasingly seen as new, convenient ways of exploring chirality thanks to their operation in the near-infrared range of wavelengths. However, quantitative data about two-photon circular dichroism (2PCD) of organic and inorganic materials are scarce, and even less can be found about three-photon circular dichroism (3PCD). Here, we show that both 2PCD and 3PCD can be readily detected in chiral atomically precise gold nanoclusters via polarimetric Z-scan technique. We provide quantitative data on 2PCD and 3PCD of both enantiomers of Au38(PET)24 nanoclusters, which exhibit extraordinary chiroptical properties arising from the interplay of several levels of molecular organization. Interestingly, the corresponding two- and three-photon dissymmetry factors of Au38(PET)24 enantiomers are significantly enhanced in comparison to the one-photon CD by factors of 178 and 217, respectively.
