A Research of Impact of TikTok on Gender Stereotypes in China

Now, with the development of the Internet, advanced communication technology continuously extends and expands peoples senses. Notwithstanding such a mind-boggling data society, individuals are handily caught in the pseudo climate developed by mass correspondence. The orientation jobs characterized by society are additionally communicated in various ways in the media. The media often portrays men as strong, brave, and capable of decision-making, while women are portrayed as weak, dependent, and gentle. This media promotion not only affects peoples way of thinking but also affects societys perception and evaluation of gender roles. When orientation generalizations are shaped, they are hard to break and can altogether affect individuals mental cycles. Through small-scale interviews, this study aims to investigate TikToks gender stereotypes. The examination subjects were a 17-year-old male and a 17-year-old female secondary school understudy, a 40-year-elderly person and a 40-year-elderly person. The results show that Tiktok has a positive impact on male and female stereotypes of high school students. The two high school students agreed that watching Tiktok helped them eliminate some inherent stereotypes. The two middle-aged people unanimously said that watching Tiktok eliminated some of their inherent stereotypes. The significance of the research is that the images of men and women presented by the media become more realistic and reasonable in terms of social roles, allowing women to truly break free from the stereotypes brought about by this deeply rooted patriarchal discourse.

How Marriage Policy Affects Womens LFP

With technological advancement coupled with the recent pandemic, perceptions of womens societal roles have undoubtedly evolved over the recent decades. Often, their social role is measured through their employment status, with rising labor force participation indicating an elevated social standing. While most of the previous research tends to link womens labor force participation with factors including wage rates, childbirth, and education, the correlation between their labor force participation and marriage has remained underexplored. Given the profound impact marriage can have on womens employment, it is crucial to adopt innovative research approaches that reflect modern shifts in womens social roles. This paper seeks to unravel the link between marriage and womens labor force participation in the U.S., focusing specifically on the influence of legal marriage age via a difference-in-difference design. The goal is to inform the government of better policy decisions, such as pushing for enhanced economic and marriage policies that could further facilitate womens role in the professional realm.

Cyberpunk Fashion: Unveiling Gender Dynamics and Cinematic Narration Through Film Analysis

Amidst the currents of globalization and technological advancement, the fashion sector is undergoing swift growth, accompanied by heightened cross-cultural interactions. This study delves into this realm through the lens of three thoughtfully chosen films that spotlight cyberpunk fashion. These films offer perceptive viewpoints into the intricate interplay among fashion, gender, and cinematic storytelling. By deconstructing the transformative impact of cyberpunk fashion, this research accentuates its function in molding societal perceptions of gender roles. It extends invaluable insights into the dynamic fusion of fashion, gender dynamics, and the craft of visual narration. The exploration of cyberpunk fashion facilitates a deeper comprehension of the fashion industrys evolution. It serves as a wellspring of creativity for designers and brands, fostering innovation. Concurrently, it steers consumers toward a more judicious consumption and appreciation of diverse aesthetic values across eras within their pursuit of fashion. This investigation enhances scholarly exploration and furnishes a more all-encompassing grasp of the subject matter.

Research on the Results of Chinese Womens Overseas Higher Education from the Perspective of Educational Equity: An Analysis of Employment Status among Returnees

Currently, Chinese women returnees receive preferential treatment in the job market due to their overseas educational background, but they also face inequalities. While there is considerable research on equity of higher education opportunities and processes, there is a lack of studies analyzing the equity of higher education results, specifically the employment situation of Chinese women returnees, from a gender perspective. This paper reveals the existing inequalities in the employment of women returnees in China, including disadvantages in domestic job hunting, inadequate utilization of professional skills in the workplace, and low level of career self-fulfillment. These issues are primarily associated with traditional gender role perceptions in China, the symbolical capital molded by enterprises, and gender stereotypes in the workplace. The paper suggests that addressing the employment issues of women returnees requires the establishment of a subsidy system by the government for employing organizations and increased regulatory efforts. Furthermore, employing organizations should objectively evaluate the overseas educational background of women returnees. Lastly, the government and enterprises can change stereotypes through correct public opinion and appropriate management. This study takes a gender perspective and focuses on women returnees as the research subjects, making positive explorations towards achieving equity in the results of higher education for women returnees and promoting their fair development in the job market.

Mission vs. Money: Professional Values and Attitudes of Public and Commercial Media Journalists in the United States

ABSTRACT This study compares the demographics, professional values, and attitudes of public and commercial journalists in the United States. Based on survey interviews with representative samples of 394 public broadcasting journalists and 1,491 commercial journalists, the study finds significant differences in demographics, attitudes, and role perceptions between the two groups. Public media journalists, who tend to be younger, more politically left-leaning, more racially diverse, and work in more gender-balanced newsrooms than their commercial colleagues, appear more mission-driven and prefer to tell complex, interpretive stories to help the public take action. By contrast, commercial journalists prize publishing quickly to the broadest possible audience while showing less interest in influencing public affairs.

Promoting Competence in Nursing and Pharmacy Interprofessional Collaboration Through Telehealth Simulation.

Competence in interprofessional collaboration is essential for safe patient outcomes. This study examined the impact of an interprofessional telehealth pharmacology simulation on prelicensure nursing and pharmacy students' perceptions of interprofessional roles. A pretest-posttest design was used to compare participants' perceptions of interprofessional roles prior to and following the simulation. Data were collected using the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS). Paired-samples t -tests showed statistically significant increases in scores for both the full IEPS ( n = 99) and two subscales, Competency and Autonomy ( n = 99) and Perception of Actual Cooperation ( n = 99). Nurse educators should provide regular interprofessional experiences to foster learners' competence in interprofessional collaboration and communication.

GPs’ perceptions of pharmacists working in general practices: A mixed methods survey study

BackgroundPharmacists are increasingly incorporated into general practice teams globally and have been shown to positively impact patient outcomes. However, little research to date has focused on determining general practitioners’ (GPs’) perceptions of practice-based pharmacist roles in countries yet to establish such roles.ObjectivesTo explore GPs’ perceptions towards integrating pharmacists into practices and determine if any significant associations were present between GPs’ perceptions and their demographic characteristics.MethodsIn June 2022, a survey was disseminated to GPs in Ireland via post (n = 500 in Munster region), Twitter, WhatsApp, and an online GP support and education network. Quantitative data were captured through multiple option and Likert-scale questions and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data were captured via free-text boxes, with the open comments analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsA total of 152 valid responses were received (24.6% response to postal survey). Overall, GPs welcomed the role of practice-based pharmacists and perceived that they would increase patient safety. Most agreed with practice pharmacists providing medicine information (98%) vs. 23% agreeing with practice pharmacists prescribing independently. Most agreed they would partake in a practice pharmacist pilot (78.6%). The free-text comments described current pressures in general practice, existing relationships with pharmacists, funding and governance strategies, potential roles for pharmacists in general practice, and anticipated outcomes of such roles.ConclusionThis study provides a deeper understanding of GPs’ perceptions of integrating pharmacists into practices and the demographic characteristics associated with different perceptions, which may help better inform future initiatives to integrate pharmacists into practices.

Research Ethics in Social Studies: Indonesian Perspectives

The necessary standards for conducting and disseminating research rely on research ethics. Research ethics determine whether research is integrity-based and adequately completed. Given the significant role of ethics in research, much of the research in Indonesia does not fall under the remit of research ethics committees (REC), especially research in studies, such as in education. This condition might happen because of the lack of knowledge about ethics in research and their significance. Thus, this case study aims to observe whether or not Indonesian researchers have enough knowledge about research ethics and their perception of the essential roles of ethics in research. We collected the data through a written interview with 20 participants selected purposely. The results of this study provided an extended discussion of knowledge and understanding of research ethics among Indonesian researchers in the educational field. We concluded that social researchers’ knowledge, support, and access to gain ethical clearance for the research should receive particular attention so that research in social studies could be ethically conducted and presented with qualified and validated results.

The Influence of Religious Affiliation and Church Attendance on Climate Change Awareness, Perception, and Action: The Role of Churches through Environmental Education in Nigeria

Churches can serve as platforms for environmental education, fostering a sense of responsibility towards the environment among their congregations.This study examined the influence of religious affiliation and attendance on climate change awareness, perception, action and perceived role of the church through environmental education in Nigeria. Churchgoers from Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal churches from the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria completed the Climate Change Awareness Questionnaire (CCAQ); Climate Change Perception Questionnaire (CCPQ); Churches’ Role Perception Scale (CRPS); and Climate Change Action Assessment Scale (CCAAS) and also provided relevant demographic information. Results of statistical analysis indicated that there was a significant difference between the religious denominations in climate change awareness, perception, action and perceived role of the church. The results also showed that more frequency of attendance to church activities was associated with increased climate change awareness, perception of climate change, climate change action, and perceived role of the church in addressing climate change. Churches must continue incorporating environmental teachings into their religious practices and advocating for environmentally-friendly behaviors among members as ways of contributing to the campaign against climate change.
 
 

Implementation and assessment of an advanced practice nurse-led early palliative care initiative for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer.

262 Background: Early palliative care (EPC) referral reduces health care costs and improves quality of life and survival in some advanced cancers. Barriers to EPC exist. In April 2022, our provincial cancer centre (CCMB) implemented a clinical nurse specialist (CNS)-led intervention for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer (PANC), circumventing known barriers. New PANC referrals received at the provincial centralized referral office are triaged by an oncologist and concurrently referred to the CNS. CNS consultation focuses on physical and psychological symptoms, medication review, patient and family coping, and goals of care. Education is provided on PANC diagnosis, prognosis, symptoms, potential treatment options, navigating the cancer system, and community palliative care/hospice supports, with close collaboration with the patient’s primary care provider. This study reports on the impact of the CNS role and patient perceptions of this role on patient-centered care. Methods: We compared patients with PANC in the pre-implementation period (Jan 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021) to the post-implementation period (April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2023). Patients were identified using the Manitoba Cancer Registry and the CNS clinical database. Descriptive statistics were used to report quality measures. Results of patient reported perception of patient-centered care during the post-implementation period will also be reported. Results: In the pre-implementation period, 83 patients were referred to CCMB with PANC. In the post implementation period, 135 patients were referred. 125 (93%) accepted a consultation with the CNS, with a median time to meeting of 5 days (range, 0-18). After CNS consultation, 35% declined biopsy, oncology appointment or both. In the pre-implementation period, 29 (55%) patients were referred to palliative care/hospice within 8 weeks of diagnosis, compared to 66 (77%) in the post-implementation period. The mean time to palliative care referral was 18.2 weeks pre-implementation vs 8.0 weeks post-implementation (p=0.0007). Data on number of diagnostic biopsies, medical oncology consultations, and receipt of chemotherapy are in the attached table. Conclusions: This novel approach of CNS assessment and education soon after diagnosis of PANC, at the time of referral to CCMB, is acceptable to patients. It results in increased early referral to community-based palliative care/hospice. Exploring patient goals early may also spare patients from treatments that are time-consuming and associated with adverse effects, allowing those with a life limiting illness to focus on quality of life.[Table: see text]

The nexus between stakeholders’ role, eco-empowerment, and community perceptions on mangrove ecosystem management’s sustainability

Managing coastal ecosystem resources and mangrove forests in Sayung District, Demak Regency faces many challenges if it does not involve the community’s active role and stakeholders. Ecological empowerment faces the abrasion, erosion, and sedimentation of coastal areas that mangrove stands have not covered. On the other hand, the revitalization and rehabilitation program is still not optimal, so it requires the participation of many institutions, not only from the government but also from non-government, so that all management programs run in tandem are integrated and is following regulations. This study aims to determine the relationship between the role of stakeholders, eco-empowerment, and community perceptions of the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem management. The location selection used the purposive method. While the sample selection used the purposive and snowball random sampling methods. Data analysis used the partial least square method. The study’s results indicate that the stakeholders’ role has a direct positive and significant impact on eco-empowerment and perceptions of sustainability. Eco-empowerment has a direct positive and significant effect on the perception of sustainability. The role of stakeholders has a positive and indirect influence on the perception of sustainability through eco-empowerment activities.

Youthful Perspectives: Examining Perceptions and Attitudes towards Gender Roles in Music among Students at the School of Music, Philippine Women's University

This study investigates the perceptions and attitudes towards gender roles in music among students at the School of Music, Philippine Women's University, Philippines. Grounded in the rich cultural context of the Philippines, where historical, cultural, and societal influences shape distinct gender roles, the research aims to fill a gap in the existing literature by examining the perspectives of young individuals engaged in formal music education. the demographic profile of participants reveals a predominantly female representation, reflecting the university's emphasis on women's education but also highlighting a need for increased inclusivity in research. Through a comprehensive survey instrument, the study explores students' perceptions of gender roles in music, attitudes towards existing biases, and the impact of gender on their musical experiences. Findings indicate a consensus among participants on the existence of gender associations and stereotypes, emphasizing the need to challenge traditional norms within the School of Music. Additionally, participants express a desire for strategies to create a more inclusive and equitable musical environment. the study recommends tailored interventions, including diversified extracurricular offerings, mentorship programs, and transparent assessment criteria, aligned with academic years and culturally sensitive initiatives. these findings contribute valuable insights to the broader discourse on gender inclusivity in the music industry and lay the foundation for continued academic inquiry into the intersections of gender, youth culture, and music in the Philippines.

Organizational stability and resocialization in public administrations: Theory and evidence from Norwegian civil servants (1986–2016)

AbstractThe organizational theory approach to public administration emphasizes that organizational features of public bureaucracies shape civil servants' role perceptions and opinions. This study brings forward a novel refinement of this theoretical framework by arguing that such processes of organizational resocialization require intertemporal consistency of the organizational environment. We empirically test this proposition by combining individual‐level longitudinal data from a panel of Norwegian civil servants (1986–2016; N ≈ 375) with information about organizational changes in ministerial structures since 1945. Using individuals' task portfolio as our main organizational “influencer” of interest, we confirm that the impact of individuals' task portfolio on their role perceptions only strengthens over time for individuals working in ministries with a high level of organizational stability. This finding adds an important scope condition—namely, intertemporal stability—to the traditional organizational theory argument about what shapes civil servants' role perceptions and opinions.

Professional identity and role perception of Radiographers and Clinical Technologists in Nuclear Medicine – An exploratory qualitative study

IntroductionAn awareness of Professional Identity (PI), an individual's identity in relation to their professional group, and Role Perception (RP), an individual's view of their specific role, may enable safe and effective practice by providing an understanding of professional boundaries, behaviours and activities. This research aimed to explore and gain an understanding of the PI and RP of Radiographers and Clinical Technologists working as Nuclear Medicine Technologists (NMT's). Methods10 NMT's were recruited from a large National Health Service (NHS) Trust. Utilising the established methodology of Qualitative Description, data was obtained using semi-structured interviews and analysed using inductive thematic analysis. ResultsFour themes were identified: “Becoming the Unexpected” which detailed various training pathways; “Caring with Science” which described the NMT's role and defined their PI; “Same View, Different Lens” which portrayed how Radiographers and Clinical Technologists practise as team of NMT's; and “Confirmation of Professional Self” which presented how individuals view their professional status. ConclusionThe study showed that the NMT role is highly specialised, multi-faceted and patient-centred. Their professional status is based on the nature of their role and their university level education and training. They work together under the umbrella title of NMT with a dual professional identity of “provider of care” and “user of science and technology”. However, they may have an individual identity of Radiographer or Clinical Technologist that is determined by their training pathway. Implications for practiceThis research has provided valuable understanding of the PI and RP of NMT's. By highlighting the differences in the regulatory status of this workforce, an insight into the future implications in the context of national healthcare planning has been provided, highlighting potentially significant issues that may impact on the manner in which NMT's can practice.

Worker role perceptions and work participation among people with mental health issues taking part in interventions focusing on everyday life.

Knowing whether interventions addressing everyday life as a whole can affect work readiness for people with severe mental health issues would be important for how to develop support. To compare two groups of people with mental health problems, receiving either of two types of 16-week activity-based interventions, Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) or Care as Usual (CAU), regarding work readiness in terms of perceived worker role and satisfaction with recent work experience. Changes from baseline (T1) to completed intervention (T2) and a six-month follow-up (T3) and variables of potential importance to changes were also explored. This cluster RCT recruited participants for BEL (n = 133) and CAU (n = 93) from specialized and community-based psychiatry. Questionnaires addressing work readiness and potentially influencing variables (sociodemographic, clinical, type of intervention, work experience, non-work activity factors, social interaction and self-esteem) were used. Mixed model regression analyses were employed. Positive changes occurred for both groups in one worker role aspect (resources for a future worker role) and in satisfaction with recent work participation. Satisfaction with non-work everyday activities, having valued activities, and self-esteem were important for change in the work readiness variables, whereas intervention type, age, sex or general activity level were not. Both interventions yielded equally positive work readiness outcomes. Support that emphasizes engagement in satisfying and valued everyday activities and boosts self-esteem would be a potential way to help people with mental health issues develop work readiness in terms of the worker role and satisfaction with work participation.

Factors that influence the selection of conservative management for end-stage renal disease - a systematic review.

Most patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are managed with dialysis and less commonly kidney transplantation. However, not all are suitable for or desire either of these renal replacement therapies. Conservative management (CM) is an option. However, the selection of CM is often not easy for patients and clinicians. The aim of this systematic review is to identify the key factors that influence the selection of CM for ESRD. Medline, Embase, PsychINFO, and CINAHL Plus were systematically searched from inception to 10 September 2021. Titles/abstracts and full texts were independently screened by two reviewers. Reference lists of included articles were searched. An update search via PubMed was conducted on 10 August 2023. A narrative synthesis of review findings was conducted. At the end of the screening process, 15 qualitative and 8 survey articles were selected. Reference checking yielded no additional relevant studies. Main themes were: (i) Patient-specific factors; (ii) Clinician-specific factors; (iii) Organisational factors; and (iv) National and international factors. Patient-specific factors were awareness and perceptions of CM and dialysis, beliefs about survival, preferred treatment outcomes and influence of family/caregivers and clinicians. Clinician-specific factors included perceptions of CM as 'non-intervention', perceptions of clinician role in the decision-making process, and confidence and ability to initiate sensitive treatment discussions. Relationships with and involvement of other healthcare professionals, time constraints, and limited clinical guidance were also important factors. An improvement in the provision of education regarding CM for patients, caregivers, and clinicians is essential. Robust studies are required to generate crucial evidence for the development of stronger recommendations and guidance for clinicians.

Basil I’s Path to Power according to the Vita Basilii as a Heroic Myth

This paper aims to illustrate how the tradition of Basil I’s rise to power in the Vita Basilii includes elements typical of heroic myths, according to Joseph Campbell’s monomyth scheme. The study presented here will examine how the narrative contains features such as a call to adventure, a series of trials and a motive for return. Moreover, the study seeks to investigate how these universal elements of hero stories have been mythicised by literary devices such as the topoi, text composition, intertextual references or symbolic content coherent with the perception of the ideological role of the Byzantine rulers. Within this framework, the study will aim to explore the morphology of these narratives and reconsider some historical questions with the help of Mircea Eliade’s theory of myth. It will focus on the identity and legitimising functions of the story for Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus and assess its impact on the position of the Macedonian dynasty in the social order and the sphere of political activity.

Application of the COM-B model to explore barriers and facilitators to participation in research by hospital pharmacists and pharmacy technicians: A cross-sectional mixed-methods survey

BackgroundCombining research and clinical practice is crucial for advancing evidence-based healthcare and improving pharmacy service delivery. While hospital pharmacists report significant interest in research, this does not translate to high levels of research engagement. Furthermore, little is known regarding barriers and motivators for pharmacy technician involvement in research. ObjectiveTo characterise the barriers and enablers to engaging in practice-based research reported by hospital pharmacy staff using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behaviour (COM-B) framework. MethodsAn online cross-sectional survey, using the validated Research Capacity in Context tool, was sent to all employees of a statewide hospital pharmacy service. Respondent characteristics and quantitatively reported barriers and motivators were analysed using descriptive statistics. Qualitative data from open text responses were analysed through inductive thematic analysis. Results were mapped to the components of the COM-B framework at individual, team and organisation levels. Results278 responses were received (response rate 43.3%) from pharmacists (68.0%) and pharmacy assistants/technicians (28.4%) across 19 hospitals. Research behaviour was influenced by factors linked to five of six COM-B subdomains. Reflective motivation, linked to a desire to improve practice and patient care, self-development, and recognition, indicates pharmacy staff would like to engage in research. However, barriers related to physical opportunity (lack of time for research, other work roles that take priority) and psychological capability (lack of skills and mentorship) hindered involvement. Social opportunity and automatic motivation, tied to managerial support, role perceptions and departmental research culture were also reported facilitators. Subtle differences in the factors that motivate hospital pharmacists and pharmacy technicians were identified. ConclusionsMapping factors associated with research participation by hospital pharmacy staff to the COM-B model is an important step towards identifying evidence-based intervention types that could form the basis of strategies to optimise hospital pharmacy staff engagement with practice-based research, using the behaviour change wheel.

Birth trauma: the elephant in the nursery

ABSTRACT Method The current study used a multiperspectival (dyadic) IPA approach to interview eight participants (N = 4 heterosexual couples) where one parent was help-seeking for the experience of birth trauma. Results Analysis resulted in four superordinate themes: (1) From perfect plan to shattered reality, (2) Trauma in the healthcare system, (3) Trauma in the family system and (4) The post-trauma family: Navigating the new normal. Discussion Parents described a shared experience of birth trauma during birth. However, fathers’ perceived trauma ended in the delivery room whilst mothers’ continued far beyond this. The dyadic focus showed a divergence of experience postnatally: differing levels of awareness to distress existed between partners, mothers experienced bonding difficulties and parents took to separate coping mechanisms. The trauma remained invisible and unspoken as couples avoided discussions about the birth, coped silently and separately. The parents identity changed following the trauma as individuals, couples and as a family. Conclusion The time following a traumatic birth is experienced differently by mothers and fathers. Parents seldom discuss the trauma, hold differing perceptions of roles and needs, and struggle to support each postnatally. Clinical implications and recommendations are discussed.

Children as pawns on the national Chess board: children in Israel’s 1948 war of Independence

ABSTRACTThe article examines how nationalism shapes perceptions of childhood and defines the role of children in a national struggle, and the challenges of implementing these perceptions during wartime, while explores the evacuation of children during the Israeli War of Independence (1948) as a case study. While nationalism played a central role in shaping the society's perceptions of children's roles, practical constraints and other perceptions exerted a significant influence. While the leadership opposed evacuation, the question of whether the presence of children on frontline settlements strengthened or weakened their fight was disputed among their members. Mothers both wanted their children with them to boost morale and wished them to be safe far away. Some accepted that they could play a vital role, others supported their evacuation so they could play their own part without hindrance. These dilemmas were compounded by the fact that children served as emotional and mental supports for both the family and the collective. The trauma of the Holocaust heightened this aspect of the double bind. The tension between child welfare vs. national goals often led to last-minute decisions. Children were thus more often evacuated under live fire rather than in the pre-planned, organized fashion characteristic of the 2WW Blitz in Britain. Despite the national principles aligning children with the well-being of the nation, their application during wartime proved intricate and contingent upon specific circumstances and the immediate danger faced by children. The harsh reality highlights the modern concept of childhood and the traditional concept of motherhood. It concludes that a child's role in national warfare is characterized by both conceptual complexity and practical flexibility. Especially in a traditional and national society striving for modernity as Israeli society. Furthermore, even in an existential war, national indoctrination can encounter limitations in its power and influence.
