Accomplishing Reality Media: The Affective Lure of Online Crime Discussions

Drawing from interviews with posters and an analysis of a dozen discussion threads on the Swedish online discussion forum Flashback, this article sets out to investigate the dramatization of crime news from the point of view of the participants themselves. Analyzing both the online discussions and the articulated motivations and activities of the posters, this article focuses on how participants in these crime discussion threads come together around an epistemic quest for the truth, but also how discussions are ritualized so as to give rise to a collective effervescence and unity when the epistemic drama is perceived to have been resolved, and the truth is revealed to the wider public. Accordingly, this article seeks to remedy a gap in the previous research on online crime discussions by focusing less on the investigative aspects of such work – for example, how participants collaborate to solve crimes – and more on the symbolic and affective aspects of the dramatization of these discussions of crime. What is at the forefront is thus how participants make sense of their engagement and experience of these online discussions, rather than the actual criminal case. To refer to this as an epistemic drama is to highlight how activities, ideals and identities are ordered and sequenced through a ritualization of collective online participation, but also how it involves the establishment of (1) a particular predicament, (2) a collective objective, and (3) ultimately some sort of perceived emotional climax related to solving this predicament through the collective objective.

스포츠 폭력 억제를 위한 입법적 개선방안 모색

Government institutions such as the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, local governments and educational circles have developed various efforts so far to curb sports violence that occurs continuously. Athletic circles have also enhanced various institutional strategies for establishing ethicality of athletes and preventing sports violence among the whole members. However, despite such efforts, a criticism that sports violence is still rampant throughout athletic circles is prevail, and relevant accidents are becoming the talk of all media in reality. Thus, this study aimed to search for a legislative improvement plan for curbing sports violence after examining various types of sports violence that has become one of serious social problems recently, reality of occurrence, and legal·institutional strategies as a top priority plan to guarantee basic right to sports and human rights. As a result of study, the following plans are considered necessary as a legislative improvement plan for curbing sports violence. First, so-called ‘materialization and strictness of legal device for prevention of violence and guarantee of human rights’ that can include reasons for disqualification of instructors, education to prevent sports violence and support for victims must be made immediately through revision of the「National Sports Promotion Act」. Second, it is necessary to revise the「Fundamental Law of Sports」as the law is faced with criticism that the law, unlikely its intent of legislation, leans excessively to the promotion of sports lacking in contents for guarantee of basic rights that everyone is entitled to enjoy like human rights of sportsmen. And through the foregoing, it is also needed to specify details of human rights, basic rights, violence, sexual violence etc., and necessary to organize a system for active protection of and support for victims. Third, construction of a system for prevention of violence and protection of victims is necessary through enactment·revision of ordinances of local governments. As a plan for the foregoing, it is first necessary to revise ordinances of local governments related to promotion of sports for enabling sportsmen·athletes to be respected as a human being and their rights and interests be protected. And each local government need to supplement limits of「the Charter of Human Rights in Sports」and「Guideline for Human Rights in Sports」by enacting tentatively named「Ordinance on Protection of Human Rights in Sports」.

MAPPING THE UTILIZATION OF AUGMENTED REALITY MEDIA IN VOCATIONAL EDUCATION IN DIY USING K-MEANS

The purpose of this study is to reveal group data on the use of augmented reality media in teaching and learning activities so that it is easier to improve student learning outcomes. Augmented reality media was chosen based on the complexity of the scope of teaching materials consisting of thinking skills and limited practice during the implementation of distance learning. The approach for grouping the use of augmented reality media is through the K-Means algorithm with R software. The sample of this study was 136 students of Building Information and Modeling Design skills competency from 5 State Vocational High Schools spread across districts and cities, DIY Province. The review aspect used as the basis for grouping is the need for alternative media in augmented reality, ease of use, supporting facilities, and speed of understanding the material. The grouping results explain that as many as 80 students can master the material well through augmented reality media, and it is appropriate to use it during distance learning. In comparison, the remaining 56 students still find it difficult. Through the results of this grouping, it can be used to combine other media for students who still find it difficult when participating in distance learning

Analysis of Students' Self Regulated Learning Using Augmented Reality Media on Solar System Material at Class VII SMP

<p>With the implementation of some limited face-to-face learning, the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic have now started to significantly fade from education. This forces instructors to be creative so that children can still learn independently. Students who get inadequate online instruction generally behave passively when receiving offline instruction. To deal with the issues of 21st-century learning, technological use, the selection of interesting learning models, and media that are in line with the characteristics of the material, especially abstract material, are still necessary. To prepare students for real life and improve learning, technological application and the growth of student learning independently are important. The purpose of this study was to examine how media augmented with augmented reality helped students learn independently. There are up to 27 students in the seventh grade at SMPN 3 Rantau Bayur in this qualitative descriptive study. A student learning independence questionnaire was designed to collect data, and it was triangulated using learning observation sheets and teacher interviews. The three stages of the data analysis technique, according to Miles Huberman (1992), are data reduction, data presentation, and summary. The percentage technique was used to examine the learning independence data collected. As according statistics from the learning independence questionnaire, the average percentage in the medium category is 61 percent.</p>

The Effectiveness of Playful Augmented Reality Media for Teaching Early-Primary Students

Hybrid learning has become the only solution to ensure the learning process still occurs in place of traditional classroom activities during the Covid-19 pandemic. Following this condition, the phenomenon of "Zoom Fatigue" has emerged. Some of the symptoms reported are decreased learning motivation, low attention, and reduced responses. Thus, a refresher process, including the use of new playful and frugal learning media is necessary for varying children's learning activities. A learning intervention was designed to teach anatomy playfully as part of a biology curriculum. The Augmented Reality technology used in this research is a Humanoid 4D+ mobile application with flashcards, developed by Octagon Studio. This media displays information virtually on a smartphone screen when the application uses the camera to scan flashcards containing visual markers. A hybrid learning space is formed as students can see information virtually. But, physically, they are in control because they run applications and choose the type of flashcard they want to scan.
 The research was undertaken in several learning parks in Solo City, Central Java Province, Indonesia, with a total of 43 volunteer teachers and 132 early primary students participating. Previously, the ACES team (part of a UKRI funded project) had provided online training on the use of this media with teachers. Each teacher would then implement the media for all students in each learning park. The teachers demonstrate the media and each student takes turns running the application to view information virtually, therefore experiencing interactive learning. The qualitative approach was conducted for capturing teachers’ perceptions of Augmented Reality media. A survey using the JISC online platform was distributed to capture participants’ reflections on the activities and media used. Based on findings, the media appears beneficial, effective, and efficient for teaching anatomy concepts. Its virtual features can attract the children’s attention and teachers do not need to bring a lot of physical teaching aids, just one application to explain all organ system concepts. Students can learn playfully on their own and feel new learning experiences. The results indicated that the intervention could create playful and frugal activities which build student engagement as a potential solution to address issues of Zoom Fatigue. The next stage of the project will involve volunteer teachers implementing the technology more widely in their classes.

Assessing Virtual Reality Media Productions: Findings from a Qualitative Analysis of Immersive Experiences in Climate Change as Offered via Oculus TV

This study explores virtual reality (VR) uses in climate change storytelling. The study uses a mixed approach, i.e., qualitative content analysis, experiential media (EM) theoretical model, and the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change special report’s framework on the climate crisis. This study looks at nine different VR media productions on climate change available on the Oculus TV, a VR application by Meta Platforms Inc (formerly Facebook Inc). The nine VR media productions observation and experience involved the use of Oculus Quest 2 Head-Mounted Display (HMD) to understand: 1) to what extent do the VR media productions utilize six qualities of EM; 2) what themes do such VR media productions highlight pertaining to climate change, and 3) to what extent do such themes capture key points highlighted by the landmark IPCC 2018 special report’s framework. The findings revealed that all the nine VR media productions utilized limited qualities of EM, i.e., (1) interactivity, (2) immersion, (3) multisensory presentation, (4) algorithm and data, (5) first-person perspective, and (6) natural user interface. The findings also revealed five broad thematic categories, including global warming; biodiversity & endangered species; culture & traditions; conservation & disaster management; and agriculture, along with various sub-themes identified from all the nine VR media productions. The thematic analysis showed that the VR media productions utilized limited framing and contextualization of the issues pertaining to climate change — as opposed to the multidisciplinary approach that the IPCC report takes and offers as a framework to help people understand the gravity of the problem caused by climate change. The study extends the theoretical understanding of the role VR plays in highlighting the climate crisis and provides practical implications on the uses of VR for climate change storytelling and reporting.

MEDIA BIAS: IS IT REAL?

In the context of today’s media realities which is influenced by rich access to news and information from various media sources, many viewers are unaware that media often constructed its content to persuade individuals of a certain intended message. However, recent years have seen the declining trust towards the media, which contributes to public belief that media has no longer adhere to its traditional media ethics. This study aims to investigate the biases and persuasion strategies as utilised in media interviews. Investigation on the interpersonal meanings articulated by the interactants was carried out based on their Mood choices. The data were obtained from two transcriptions of television interviews on the death of Muammar Gaddafi. Questions which were employed using the WH- interrogatives was found to be more superior in subjects which are linked to the death of the said figure. This finding highlights the use of Mood choices by the interviewers as they wish to reduce the pressure on the interviewees. However, the usage of yes/no interrogatives was found to be more superior when discussing unimportant subjects. The result obtained from this research will give a clearer picture on the numerous linguistic tactics utilised by the media in persuading the public to affirm their political position which will witness the soar in the public’s obligation to choose without being coerced by the biasness employed by the media.

Evolution of AVS video coding standards: twenty years of innovation and development

Ever since the founding of the Audio and Video Coding Standard (AVS) Workgroup of China in 2002, it has been dedicated to advancing and innovating the digital audio-video industry with highly efficient and economical encoding/decoding technologies. Three representative generations of video coding standards have been finalized and published, consistently improving the coding performance in the past two decades. The series of AVS standards establish solid foundations for ubiquitous video applications in the areas including acquisition, coding, production, delivery, integrated system, public service, general screen content, and mixed reality media. Along with the standardization process, an extensive amount of studies have been carried out on efficiency-aware designation, algorithm optimization, and hardware implementation of these innovative video coding techniques. This paper explains how those developed techniques provide a lasting impact on the video coding community, extensively, technologically, and systematically. In particular, we provide a comprehensive survey of the three generations of the standards, and timely and in-depth summarize the efforts of the AVS video coding standards in the twenty years. The rate-distortion performance comparisons, in particular in terms of the 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) contents, reflect the elegant design of the state-of-the-art AVS3 standards. We have also elaborated on a variety of well-established and promising applications, including commercial level real-time 8K encoder, high-frame-rate decoder chip for cell phone, and live streaming solution for sports. In addition, the China Central Television (CCTV) of China Media Group (CMG), the state television of China, has officially launched the first 8K broadcasting channel (CCTV-8K) since 2021 using AVS3. Given the significant success realized by the AVS standards, it is envisioned that a new era of 8K UHD video is arriving.
