Digital Corbynism

Digital Corbynism Katrina Forrester (bio) Click for larger view View full resolution Jeremy Corbyn recorded addressing a Labour Party rally in Bristol in 2019 (Finnbarr Webster/Getty Images) [End Page 128] The first time I saw protesters dancing on the roof of a police van was at a May Day demonstration in London in 2002. Over the dulcet acid techno beats of a bike-powered sound system, a friend explained that we were imitating the Reclaim the Streets movement of the 1990s—free parties on highways doubled as tactics of resistance against infrastructure projects in the name of halting ecological and capitalist crisis. I learned then that I had come too late for anything new. The late British cultural theorist Mark Fisher described this era as one of nostalgia (-algia, the suffix, signifies pain, distress). Thanks to the ideology of what Fisher called "capitalist realism," faith in the future had been canceled. I didn't know it yet, but something did make us different from the leftists that came before us: the internet. (It's a cliché because it's true.) In the scene that took shape in the aftermath of the anti-globalization movement, which in the UK peaked in 1999 with the J18 protests, politics revolved around affinity groups of hippies, punks, ravers, and teenagers preoccupied with squabbles between youth anarchist networks and Trotskyist organizations. Much like their U.S. equivalents, these groups focused on direct action: protests against the arms trade and to free Palestine, confrontations with cops, school walkouts against the Iraq War, squatted camps at G8 summits. Unlike our predecessors, we had Indymedia to learn about protests, and web forums and riseup.net listservs to stay in touch. In 2003, Fisher started writing on his blog K-punk, inspiring a network of radical bloggers. This was not a scene where left theory or history mattered much (libcom.org, which became a kind of anarcho-communist Wikipedia, was set up around this time to address the intellectual vacuum at its core). Political education meant learning to encrypt emails on action training weekends. At demonstrations, the anarchist kids would mock the docile Socialist Workers Party (SWP) members handing out the Socialist Worker paper; if we had wanted what they were selling, we would read the Guardian! The only thing that held the young, fragmented left together was a common enemy: the warmongering Labour Party. [End Page 129] No one had any sense yet that the internet would be so crucial in bringing left politics closer to a mass politics than at any time in recent history. The political movement that formed around Jeremy Corbyn, the MP from Labour's left wing who was elected head of the party in 2015, promised a better future through the restoration of the best of the British welfare state, achieved with new technologies: "socialism with an iPad," as Corbyn's Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer John McDonnell put it. It also promised new forms of organization and participation where British mainstream politics had failed. The four-year tenure of Corbyn's leadership, which ended with Labour's electoral defeat in December 2019, unified the factions of the increasingly networked anti-capitalist left, which gave up its historic opposition to the Labour Party and tried to navigate and reform its unwieldy, hostile structures. They filled the ranks of the grassroots membership (previously small in number and soft left in politics) and, in their support of Corbyn, found new common interest with Labour's affiliated trade unions, whose leadership have often been closer to the parliamentary elite than the members, and whose rank and file have had their power within the party eroded over a period of decades. As such, Corbynism is best understood as the name for a period of left unity, at a time of disunity within the larger Labour Party. The primary cleavage in British politics—over Brexit and the referendum decision to leave the European Union—cut across this temporary unity. Nonetheless, for the duration of Corbyn's leadership, it held. And it was forged and facilitated, at least in part, by the internet. Under Corbynism, the left tried to make Labour work as a socialist party, taking responsibility...

Criteria and levels of forming a favorable sociopsychological climate in a temporary learning group of teenagers

Criteria and levels of forming a favorable sociopsychological climate in a temporary learning group of teenagers

Prevalence and selected determinants of the risk of problem gambling among Polish secondary school students.

The study had two aims. The first was to determine the prevalence of various types of gambling behaviour and the severity of gambling among secondary school students in one of the poorest provinces in Poland. The second was to identify correlations between selected socio-demographic variables and the severity of gambling problems. The study was carried out on a group of teenagers from secondary schools in the Lublin Province of eastern Poland. The survey covered 923 respondents aged 17 - 21 (M=18.06; SD=0.367). The study used a list of gambling activities, the South Oaks Gambling Screen-Revised Adolescent (SOGS-RA), and a socio-demographic questionnaire. The effects of independent variables on the severity of gambling behaviour were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney U test (for binary variables, such as gender or age group) and Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA for ternary variables (e.g., place of residence, type of school). The findings show that in the studied population 7.2% were pathological gamblers and 41.8% had not gambled during the 12 months prior to the study. These findings are consistent with the literature. There seems to be a clear trend in which pathological gambling is found most frequently among technical secondary school students, and least frequently among those from secondary schools of general education. In addition, persons who had lived (until the age of 10) in rural areas scored the lowest in SOGS-RA, while those from cities below 50,000 residents, scored the highest. In families with a gambling member, pathological gambling was found 1.7 times more frequently.

The dramatic writing workshop as a mediating practice between literary creation and social phenomenon

The workshop of theatrical writing can be understood as a literary and artistic mediation practice because it can allow people to open themselves to cultural objects that they do not usually frequent. The playwright Luc Tartar met with several groups of teenagers to conduct writing workshops aimed at developing their taste for literature, transforming their relation with writing and develop their sensitivity to theatre. The writing workshops were then able to bring to light the psychosocial reality of youth while they gave material to the production of the playwright who thus found an artistic material in direct contact with this youth. This device based on an interaction that informs about the sociology of youth and invites to reassess the processes of literary creation from a mix of practices. This mediation can be thought in terms of literary engagement because it creates a space of sociability and exchange for young people and is imbued with it, participating in the legitimation of this social category.

Prevalence and effects of betel nut habit in teenagers

Objective: To determine the prevalence and oral effects of betel nut habit among high school in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Materials and Methods: Study was carried out in 4000 high school children from different zones of Ahmedabad city. Demographic details and clinical data with their socio economic status and chewing habit were recorded. Results: 912 teenagers had habit of only betel nut chewing of different brands with overall prevalence of 22.8% and habit was more prevalent in boys as compared to Girls. More than 50% of boys the habit was initiated at the age of 13 years and habit were common in middle and high class groups of teenagers which were highly significant. Brand III was more favorite in high class group while brand I and brand II were favorite in middle and poor class group of teenagers. Teenagers of south zone where of poor and middle class group resided were more prone to habit. 70% of them preferred brand I and II while brand III was somewhat equally preferred in other 3 zones which were highly significant. Betel nut chewer shows extrinsic stains and dental decay and Brand III chewer had more deleterious effect on teeth as compared to brand I and II. Conclusion: This study confirmed the need for a preventive motivation in school children not to initiate betel nut habit and alarm them the potential health risks and effects on aesthetics of this substance by conducting the educational school health programs at regular intervals. Keywords: Age at initiation, Betel nut, High school children, Prevalence, Socio economic status

EFEKTIVITAS METODE DAKWAH SISTEM LANGSUNG (DSL) DALAM MENANGKAL RADIKALISME PADA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19

This research discusses radicalism in the name of religion that is increasingly emerging in recent decades. The radicalism is growing and grabbing the public's attention. One of them is the case of the recruitment of innocent children and youth in hardline and extreme organizations for purposes that endanger the public. This group of teenagers is usually still psychologically unstable so it is easy to be indoctrinated with incorrect religious teachings and understanding. Looking at the case, the authors was interested in researching the Islamic Youth group Baitul Ma'mur Mosque (RAISMA) Sampora Village, Cilimus District, Kuningan Regency whose coaching system is carried out through the Direct System Da'wah method (DSL). Uniquely, the youth coaching of this mosque continues to survive in the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak, by of course implementing health protocols. The question then: Does the Group of Islamic Youth Baitul Ma'mur Mosque (RAISMA) fall into the category infiltrated by radicalism or vice versa, the silencer? Then, how exactly is DSL model developed and run? This research method uses qualitative approach with literature study analysis. To explore the data, the authors also used data collection techniques through interviews and the dissemination of questionnaires. The data obtained are then arranged regularly and systematically to be analyzed with qualitative approach.

Determining the impact of orthodontic patients' characteristics on their usage and preferences of social media

ObjectiveThis study aims to assess the impact of orthodontic patients' characteristics on their usage and personal preferences of social media. MethodsWe developed a descriptive cross-sectional study. The questionnaire contained demographic data and questions about the usage of social media and their preferred platforms. The validity and reliability of the questionnaire were examined. The final Arabic version was adopted, and Google Drive was used to conduct the survey. The survey link was sent to the general public via different social media platforms and applications. ResultsA total of 477 respondents participated in this study, which included 274 women and 203 men. Significant variation in the use of social media was observed between the genders. The use of Twitter, Snapchat, and YouTube was significantly higher in the 21–30-year-old group than in the other groups. Instagram was favoured by the 13–20-year-old group, while WhatsApp was most frequently used by those aged around 40 years. Social media usage was significantly more apparent among university graduates in both the orthodontic and non-orthodontic groups. The use of Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, Instagram, and WhatsApp was significantly more common in the medium-income group than in any other group. Snapchat was the most commonly used platform across both groups. ConclusionOur study revealed that Twitter, Snapchat, and YouTube were the preferred social media applications for the middle-aged group. The use of Instagram was greatest in the teenage group, while WhatsApp was favoured by the older groups. Social media usage was most prevalent among university graduates, regardless of whether they were orthodontic or non-orthodontic patients.

Parent-Reported Feeding Difficulties among Children Born with Esophageal Atresia: Prevalence and Early Risk Factors.

We aimed to describe the prevalence of observable feeding difficulties during mealtimes among children with repaired esophageal atresia (EA) and to determine their early predictors. A survey, based on parents' reports and concerning difficulties in EA children's nutritional intake, was performed with the help of 114 families of 2 to 17-year-old EA patients. Neonatal and clinical/surgical data were collected from medical records. Comparisons were made of the prevalence n (%) of feeding difficulties between children in three age groups (2 to 7 years, 8 to 12 years, or 13 to 17 years of age) using the Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test. Logistic regression identified outcome predictors (odds ratio: 95% confidence interval). Predictors with p ≤ 0.1 in the univariable analysis were included in multiple regression analysis (p < 0.05). Seventy-five percent of the young children aged 2 to 7, (median number of feeding difficulties: 2), 61% of school-aged children aged 8 to 12 (median number of feeding difficulties: 1), and 60% patients in the teenage group, aged 13 to 17, (median number of feeding difficulties: 1), reported feeding difficulties. Surgical complications after EA repair independently predicted children having a gastrostomy (p ≤ 0.01), using a food infusion pump (p ≤ 0.01), taking small portions to facilitate eating (p = 0.01), and needing >30 minutes to finish a main meal (p = 0.02). Congenital independent predictors were VACTERL, low birth weight, and preterm birth. Parentally observed feeding difficulties were commonly reported during early childhood, although prevalence decreases in older age groups. Several congenital and surgical factors were identified as independent predictors of complicated nutritional intake patterns.

Trampoline-related injuries in children: a nationwide cross-sectional study in South Korea.

ObjectiveTrampoline-related injuries have increased in South Korea. However, little research has been conducted on this topic. This study aimed to show the characteristics of pediatric trampoline-related injuries in South Korea and to investigate the factors associated with admission.MethodsA retrospective, cross-sectional study was conducted using data from South Korea’s Emergency Department-based Injury In-depth Surveillance registry for dates between January 2011 and December 2016. All patients under 18 years of age with trampoline-related injuries were included. We divided the patients into two groups based on whether they were admitted or discharged. Odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated to evaluate the factors associated with hospital admission for pediatric trampoline-related injuries.ResultsA total of 2,745 patients were enrolled and the incidence increased over time (P for trend<0.01). The most common injury site was the lower extremity (45%). Fracture was the most frequent diagnosis (34.3%). Compared to the discharge group, the adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for hospital admission were 3.53 (1.73–7.17) for the teenage group, 2.62 (1.82–3.77) for upper extremity injuries, 18.48 (7.95–42.95) for fractures, 2.28 (1.35–3.86) for falls, and 2.04 (1.15–3.60) for collisions.ConclusionTrampoline-related injuries in children have increased over time in South Korea. Most occur in children under the age of 12 years, but children between the ages of 13 and 18 years are at a higher risk for hospitalization. Also, injuries of the upper extremity, fracture, falling, and collision are risk factors for admission. Preventive strategies are needed to reduce trampoline-related injuries in children.

Teenagers and young adults in dissident Irish republicanism: a case study of Na Fianna Éireann in Dublin

ABSTRACT On 18 April 2019, by-stander Lyra McKee was killed while a group of teenagers and young men rioted against the PSNI in the Northern Irish city of Derry. During these riots, two masked gunmen of the “New IRA” fired up to ten shots at three PSNI Land Rovers. The recruitment of teenagers into the ranks of dissident Irish republicans has raised concern that a new generation of young adults born after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement is prepared to continue acts of political violence in Ireland. This article will examine the motivations and ideology of teenagers and young adults in dissident Irish republican organisations. It is based on a series of in-depth interviews with members of the dissident republican youth organisation Na Fianna Éireann in the Dublin region. The interview data show four broad motivational factors for teenagers and young adults to join the republican youth organisation, Na Fianna Éireann, in the Republic of Ireland. These four are: First, working-class background, with its related deprivation and social problems (such as criminality and drug addiction); second, the importance of family links and social networks; third, social media as an introduction to republicanism; and, fourth, fascination with Irish history.

Acetabular roof lesions in children: a descriptive study and literature review

BackgroundAcetabular roof lesions (ARLs) in children are uncommon and may involve a variety of diseases. The acetabular roof is the main weight-bearing area of the hip joint, and lesions affecting the acetabular roof lead to fluid accumulation in the hip joint, causing hip pain and claudication. Methods for diagnosing and treating ARLs and the prognosis after treatment are rarely reported. We present our experience in a group of children and teenagers with ARLs to retrospectively explore the clinical and imaging features and histopathological diagnosis and report the treatment methods and follow-up observations.MethodsPatients with ARLs admitted to the Children’s Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April 2011 to September 2018 were selected retrospectively. We collected the basic information of patients (name, sex, age), main symptoms and signs, results of various laboratory tests, treatment methods, and intraoperative observations through the hospital medical record system. We collected X-ray, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathological examination data through the Picture Archiving and Communications System. Follow-up data were collected through an outpatient medical record system, telephone, and chat software (such as WeChat). We used descriptive methods to analyze the lesion structure and destruction mode based on the imaging findings and histopathological diagnosis.ResultsThere were 14 ARL patients, including 6 with eosinophilic granuloma (EG), 5 with chronic osteomyelitis, 2 with bone cyst, and 1 with tuberculosis. One patient underwent percutaneous needle biopsy, 2 underwent open biopsy, and 11 underwent curettage; among them, 5 patients also underwent bone grafting. These lesions had no characteristic imaging findings, and the diagnosis was mainly based on histopathological examination. Most patients showed complete symptom resolution and good hip function at the 1-year follow-up.ConclusionARLs are not common in children. The types of lesions are diverse and mostly benign, with EG being most common. Malignant tumors may also occur, such as Ewing’s sarcoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, metastases and neuroblastoma. CT and MRI can be helpful in diagnosing certain cases, but incisional biopsy is required in most cases.

Perception of Dentofacial Aesthetics in School Children and Their Parents.

Objective The aim of this research was to examine the attitudes and perceptions of dentofacial aesthetics among different age groups. Materials and Methods The sample consisted of elementary-school students from the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and their parents. This study included 314 subjects: 157 children and 157 parents. The children’s group consisted of 85 (54.14%) males and 72 (45.85%) females, aged 9 to 15 years. Statistical Analysis Descriptive statistics were used to determine frequency distribution and percentages for all variables. A chi-squared ( x 2 ) test was used to determine the association between variables and a p -value < 0.05 was considered significant for all the differences and associations. Results For the dentofacial appearance with no teeth irregularity or with severe teeth irregularity, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) (post-hoc tests—Tukey’s HSD) indicated that the difference is not statistically significant ( p = 0.06) relative to rank matching between all three subject groups. For dentofacial appearance with mild teeth irregularity, an ANOVA (post-hoc tests—Tukey’s HSD) showed statistical difference ( p = 0.07) between the teenage group of subjects relative to pre-teenage group of subjects and adult group of subjects. Conclusion Attitudes about desirable and acceptable dental aesthetics differ in younger children compared with older children and parents. Ten years old children find good function with poor aesthetics more pleasing, while 14 years old children find aesthetics with bad function as more pleasing.

Praktik Raja Yoga Dalam Rangkaian Pementasan Barong Brutuk Di Desa Terunyan, Kintamani, Bangli: Studi Teologi Hindu Dalam Terminologi Kearifan Lokal

Raja Yoga is a method to connect one’s self to the almighty God (Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa) through the means of tapa, brata, yoga, semadhi. This method is conceptualized in Astangga Yoga passed down by Rsi Patanjali. Terminologically, the practice of Raja Yoga is covered in local genius existed in Terunyan village, Bangli regency. It is done by the so called Teruna (a group of teenagers) as a part of sacred procession of Barong Brutuk dance. Essentially, Raja yoga can be seen in the Makemit process for 42 days with a set of rules, prohibition, and ritual they call Tirtha Kayan Teruna. The success of the Raja Yoga according to local condition is when the teruna achieves niyasa, or a condition where the body and soul become one with God in its system, not overtaking the trance as other sacred dances do in Bali. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Comparison of Complications Between Teenage and Elderly Gravida

Objective: To compare the complications in teenage and elderly gravida. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Settings: Gynecology and Obstetrics, Lady Aitchison Hospital, Lahore-Pakistan. Duration: One year from January 01, to December 31, 2018. Methodology: In this study the cases that had pregnancy and age was below 20 years were labelled as teen age pregnancy and those with age 20 to 40 and had pregnancy were labelled as elderly pregnancy. These cases were then followed monthly for various outcomes till delivery and 6 weeks post-partum. Both maternal and fetal outcomes were assessed. Results: In this study there were total 100 cases, 50 in each group. The mean age in group A and B was 18.31±1.11 vs 29.39±4.05 years. There were 49 primigravida in teenage group and 08 in elderly group. The most common complication was PROM seen in 11 (22%) vs 5 (10%), followed by pre term labor seen in 11 (22%) vs 4 (08%) cases in teen vs elderly pregnancy with p values of 0.01 each. Conclusion: Complication rates are higher in teen age pregnancy group and the significantly higher number of complications are PROM and pre terms labor.

Pain during medical abortion in early pregnancy in teenage and adult women.

Women experience pain during medical abortion, yet optimal pain management remains unclear. We studied the pain experience and need of analgesics during early medical abortion (≤63days of gestation) among teenage and adult women. We also assessed predictive factors of severe pain. We recruited 140 primigravid women: 60 teenagers and 80 adult women aged between 25 and 35years old. The group of teenagers included 19 women under the age of 18years old (minors). The abortion was performed with mifepristone (200mg) followed by vaginal misoprostol (800μg), mainly self-administered at home for adults. Minors were hospitalized during misoprostol administration. Pain medication consisted of ibuprofen 600mg and paracetamol 1000mg, first doses taken simultaneously with misoprostol and repeated, if needed, up to three times daily. Additional opiates (mainly tramadol or oxycodone) were administered at hospital if needed. Pain was measured using the visual analogue scale (VAS, 0-100mm). The maximal pain VAS (median, interquartile range) was 75 (54-91). Of all the women, 57.7% experienced severe pain (VAS ≥70) during abortion care and 93.5% of women needed additional analgesics in addition to prophylactic pain medication. Teenagers needed additional analgesics more often than adults (5 [3-8] vs 3 [2-6] times, P=.021); 38.0% of all teenagers (64.7% of the minors) received additional opiates compared with 7.9% in adult women. Severe pain (VAS ≥70) was associated with history of dysmenorrhea (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 2.60 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.21-5.59, P=.014]), anxiety at baseline (2.64 [1.03-6.77], P=.044) and emesis during abortion (5.24 [2.38-11.57], P<.001). Hospital administration of misoprostol did not lower the risk for severe pain experience (OR 0.84 [95% CI 0.34-2.05], P=.694). Satisfaction with care was high in study population (median VAS 91 [interquartile range 79-97]) and was not associated with the use of narcotic analgesic or place of misoprostol administration. Pain intensity was high both in teenage and adult women undergoing medical abortion, yet satisfaction on care was high. More effective analgesics than ibuprofen and paracetamol should be offered to all women undergoing early medical abortion, especially to those with history of dysmenorrhea. Also, routine use of antiemetics might be advisable.

Lexical Patterns in Adolescents’ Online Writing: The Impact of Age, Gender, and Education

This article examines the impact of the sociodemographic profile (including age, gender, and educational track) of Flemish adolescents (aged 13–20) on lexical aspects of their informal online discourse. The focus on lexical and more “traditional,” print-based aspects of literacy is meant to complement previous research on sociolinguistic variation with respect to the use of prototypical features of social media writing. Drawing on a corpus of 434,537 social media posts written by 1,384 teenagers, a variety of lexical features and related parameters is examined, including lexical richness, top favorite words, and word length. The analyses reveal a strong common ground among the adolescents with respect to some features but divergent writing practices by different groups of teenagers with regard to other parameters. Furthermore, this study analyzes both standardized versions of social media messages and the original utterances (including nonstandard markers of online writing). Strikingly, different results emerge with respect to adolescents’ exploitation of more traditional versus digital literacy skills in relation to their sociodemographic profile, especially with respect to sentiment expression (verbal versus typographic/pictorial). The study suggests that the inclusion of nonverbal communicative strategies, for instance in language teaching, might be a pedagogical asset, since these strategies are eagerly adopted by teenagers who show proof of less developed traditional writing skills.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in behavior mapping: A case study of neighborhood parks

Behavior mapping is an effective tool for the direct observation of the interaction between people and places. However, current approaches have shortcomings that introduce location inaccuracies and hinder micro-context recording of observed activities. This study explores the applicability of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in behavior mapping. First, we suggest a protocol for the use of UAVs in behavior mapping. Then, as a case study, we explore neighborhood park uses using the behavior maps and quantitative information collected from 30 neighborhood parks in Salt Lake County, UT, USA. Inter-rater reliability tests of identifying user attributes (e.g., gender, age group, activity level) and geocoding produced high Kappa statistics and location precision. The case study results show different park usage by sex, age groups, and activity types across different times. For example, we observed only a few seniors and more males than females, a gap that becomes larger among children and teenage groups. User density was higher in picnic areas and playgrounds and lower in lawns, baseball fields, and water features.This study demonstrates that UAV-based behavior maps can provide both quantitative and qualitative data. Summary statistics, along with digital maps, provide accurate patterns of park use. It also enables qualitative, design-focused explorations such as different people-place interaction patterns by user attributes and time. As a reliable and effective tool for behavior mapping, UAVs can support practitioners’ data-informed and responsive design and management efforts.

Coppola's postfeminism: Emma Watson and The Bling Ring

Abstract Sofia Coppola's The Bling Ring explores the contemporary obsession with commodities and celebrity culture which leads a group of Californian teenagers to break into the homes of celebrities, in order to steal their clothes and accessories. This article examines Coppola's critique of celebrity culture and consumerism through the movie itself, and through her casting of British actor Emma Watson and the ways in which she mobilizes the celebrity persona of Watson in order to further her critique. The Bling Ring will be compared to Coppola's work to understand how it contributes to her postfeminist image. Coppola's position as a celebrity figure through her association with her father, through her own work and through her participation within the worlds of fashion and music are also explored, in order to problematize the position from which she critiques celebrity culture.
