Reflections Of Squid Game on Children's Games and Viewers; An Example of Twitter Sentiment Analysis and Qualitative Research

This research was constituted by taking advantage of the opinions of audiences and Twitter users about the Squid Game series, which has great repercussions in the world. Besides the fact that the content of the series consists of many remarkable details, it is also aimed to examine the effect of converting traditional children's games into a bloody image on the audience. In the interviews, the messages received by the audience from the series, the interpretation of the traditional children's games in the series, empathetic thinking, and the relationship of the audience with their families were discussed as reasons for watching Squid Game. The data obtained were transferred to the MAXQDA program and edited. The data used in the study were revealed in two stages. In the first step, sentiment analysis (attitudes, feelings, and evaluations) of 451,540 tweets between 10.17.2021 and 01.25.2022 collected from Twitter were conducted through MAXQDA software. Secondly, qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 participants who watched the Squid Game series, and the resulting transcriptions were edited and analyzed together with a field expert. Subsequently, all the emerging findings were interpreted aggregately. As a result, the tweets of Twitter users about Squid Game and most of the data collected during the interviews with 13 participants had similarities in parallel. The popularity of traditional children's games has increased thanks to this series, but with children and teenagers under the age of 18 watching uncontrollably violent scenes, the games of our childhood were combined with violence and transferred to real life. With the increasing prevalence of this situation, the display of the series has been banned in some countries. In addition, among the reasons for watching the series, the influence of social media and the multiplicity of tweets with positive sentiment content (131,359) because of the sentiment status analysis of Twitter users are noteworthy.

Evaluation of Play Skills of Primary School Students Playing Traditional Children's Games

This study was conducted to evaluate the physical activity levels and game performances of primary school students participating in traditional children's games. A survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the research. The sample of the research consisted of 16 students who participated in the final matches of traditional children's games in the 2021-2022 academic year and were determined according to the game region. In the research, data were collected by using the “System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time (SOFIT)” and “Game Performance Assessment Instrument (GPAI)” through the behavioral observation method. Descriptive statistics, Mann Whitney U test, and correlation analysis were used in the analysis of the data. According to the research findings, while the students showed the most standing behavior, the level of moderate-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was at the desired level. It has been determined that the GPAI components are at a medium level in the case of skill application, while the other components are at a good level in decision-making, support, game participation, and performance. No significant difference was found in MVPA and game performance by gender. While a positive significant relationship was found between MVPA and the GPAI component of game performance, no significant relationship was found between MVPA and other GPAI components. As a result of the research; it was concluded that primary school students playing traditional games had good MVPA levels and sufficient game skills. Based on the results of the research, it can be suggested to use traditional games in physical education lessons and to create lesson content for the development of tactical awareness of students.

Multimedia Mixed Reality Interactive Shared Decision-Making Game in Children with Moderate to Severe Atopic Dermatitis, a Pilot Study.

(1) Objective: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a recurring skin disease that affects children's daily activities and sleep quality. Due to the limitations of children's understanding and ability to express themselves, shared decision making (SDM) is often made by guardians, which thus affects the acceptance and effectiveness of children's treatments. Previous studies have demonstrated that involving both children and parents in decision making may help improve treatment outcomes; thus, we designed a multimedia mixed reality (MR) interactive game of SDM for children with moderate to severe AD. (2) Methods: Research participants included 6-18-year-old patients with moderate to severe AD. This research consisted of the following steps: designing SDM; character setting and visual design; performing games; system modification and optimization; screen editing and dubbing; and user testing and questionnaires by the System Usability Scale (SUS). (3) Results: We completed the SDM design for children with moderate to severe AD. Four different treatments were biologics, oral immune-modulating drugs, phototherapy, and wet wrap. An animated PowerPoint slide showed the AD apple rolling around before treatments and the AD apple sleeping soundly after treatments. Instructions with video teaching for the four different treatments were played, and then, the MR was turned on so that the patients could help the AD apple in the metaverse to undergo these four treatments. A total of 12 moderate to severe AD patients and six control patients used the game, all aged between six and eighteen years old, with an average SUS score of 81.0 and a standard error of 2.1 points. Adjective ratings yielded a rating between good and excellent. The game showed acceptable usability. We found no statistically significant differences in SUS scores between patients with and without moderate to severe AD or between boys and girls nor significant associations between SUS and age or severity. The analysis identified that the two items with the lowest SUS scores were "I think that I would need the support of a technical person to be able to use this product" and "I needed to learn a lot of things before I could get going with this product". Both of these comments show the limitations of this game. (4) Conclusions: Overall, this study provides the first MR SDM game that has passed the SUS and can be used as an aid in clinical SDM.

A Lutheran Toolkit by Ken Sundet Jones

Reviewed by: A Lutheran Toolkit by Ken Sundet Jones Steven Bielenberg A Lutheran Toolkit. By Ken Sundet Jones. Irvine, California: 1517 Publishing, 2020. 84 pp. No matter your calling in life, you have tools in your toolbox. In this brief work, Ken Sundet Jones lays out the most useful tools for us to share what God has done for us through his Son, Jesus Christ: crucial ideas such as the hidden and revealed God, original sin, justification by faith, law and gospel, sacraments, and vocation. As he demonstrates the features of each tool, Jones gives a brief overview [End Page 107] of Reformation history, the high points of Luther's development as a theologian, and the Reformer's key works. Jones uses the articles of the Augsburg Confession to organize the tools and to show where they overlap in their creative work. Who is God? Why did Christ come? How does this affect the way I live? Throughout, Jones sheds light on these questions with fresh illustrations in a manner that is winsome and engaging. As he discusses God in Article I, Jones uses the childhood game of Sardines to explain the problem of the hidden God. Indiana Jones' cry of warning underlines the power and glory of God revealed when the lid of the ark is lifted up in a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark. This variety of illustrations continues throughout the book and is helpful for the reader who is familiar with Lutheran theology as well as the reader who comes to it with fresh eyes. This book would be useful in undergraduate classes, a pastor's discussion group, or as a small group topic. It will clarify the Lutheran views of God, Christ, and the work of the Holy Spirit to those who are new to them or approaching them from another faith tradition.

Thirty children of older preschool age participated in the experiment, divided into experimental and control groups. At the ascertainment stage of the experimental study, to determine the level of preschool children’s game competence, indicators and criteria for preschool children’s game competence were determined. When determining the criteria and indicators, we focused on the Basic component of preschool education, namely the educational direction “Child’s Game”. We defined motivational, activity, and cognitive criteria and their indicators. Based on selected criteria and indicators, we substantiated the levels of older preschool children’s game competence formation: high, medium, and low. At the formative stage, a system of educational games was implemented in the experimental group. The control experiment data showed that the use of educational games in working with preschool children contributes to the positive dynamics of the growth of the level of the formation of game competence, and has a positive effect on the preschool children’s comprehensive development.
