Digital post/colonial feminism: Poetics and politics of digital literary activism by Arab women

ABSTRACT This article proposes digital post/colonial feminism as a viable theoretical and conceptual framework to understand and analyse Arab women’s literary resistance to patriarchal and post/colonial powers in light of the new communicational paradigm shift of digitality. It provides an interdisciplinary and contextual engagement with digital literary works to transcend monothematic approaches, considering the role of digital tools and techniques in enabling new forms of feminist literary activism. It is motivated by the absence of a robust theoretical framework that adequately encapsulates Global South women’s digital literary resistance – particularly Arab women – in the broader context of postcolonial feminism. It aspires to fill this gap by tracing Arab women’s literary resistance practices in digitality, arguing that the digital media helps female artists challenge dominant narratives, amplify marginalized voices, and reclaim collective memory. Two digital literary works by Arab women are investigated to capture their new digital aesthetics and tools of resistance.

Analysis of Consumer Perceptions of Financial Transparency in Insurance Product Marketing Practices in Indonesia

This study examines how Indonesian consumers perceive financial transparency in insurance product marketing and how it impacts trust and loyalty. It explores the role of cultural, religious, and financial literacy factors in shaping these perceptions, offering insights into the broader dynamics of consumer behavior. Using a systematic literature review approach, the research analyzes secondary data from previous studies on transparency, trust, and insurance marketing. The findings indicate that clear and accessible communication about policy terms, costs, and benefits positively influences trust. When transparency aligns with cultural and religious expectations, it significantly enhances loyalty. The study also highlights that consumers with higher financial literacy are more critical in assessing transparency, while those with lower literacy tend to rely more on trust. The results support the hypothesis that transparency fosters trust and long-term loyalty within the insurance industry. Practical implications suggest that insurance companies, particularly in emerging markets like Indonesia, should prioritize transparent communication strategies that align with consumers’ cultural and religious values to build competitive advantages. Future research should explore transparency across different regions and the role of digital tools in enhancing transparency.

The role of digital tools and emerging devices in COVID-19 contact tracing during the first 18 months of the pandemic: a systematic review.

Contact tracing is a public health intervention implemented in synergy with other preventive measures to curb epidemics, like the coronavirus pandemic. The development and use of digital devices have increased worldwide to enhance the contact tracing process. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness and impact of tracking coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients using digital solutions. Observational studies on digital contact tracing (DCT), published 2020-21, in English were identified through a systematic literature review performed on nine online databases. An ad hoc form was used for data extraction of relevant information. Quality assessment of the included studies was performed with validated tools. A qualitative synthesis of the findings is reported. Over 8000 records were identified and 37 were included in the study: 24 modelling and 13 population-based studies. DCT improved the identification of close contacts of COVID-19 cases and reduced the effective reproduction number of COVID-19-related infections and deaths by over 60%. It impacted positively on societal and economic costs, in terms of lockdowns and use of resources, including staffing. Privacy and security issues were reported in 27 studies. DCT contributed to curbing the COVID-19 pandemic, especially with the high uptake rate of the devices and in combination with other public health measures, especially conventional contact tracing. The main barriers to the implementation of the devices are uptake rate, security and privacy issues. Public health digitalization and contact tracing are the keys to countries' emergency preparedness for future health crises.

Empowering Critical Thinking: The Role of Digital Tools in Citizen Participation

The widespread use of digital technologies and the expansion of social networks has created new communication and meeting spaces where people and social and political actors connect with each other. This opens diverse spaces and possibilities for digital engagement in a more accessible, immediate, continuous, egalitarian, and personalized way. Digital technology facilitates learning, dissemination, and access to information, turning it into a means of communication and fueling the practice of critical thinking. In particular civic critical thinking practices improve the organization and effectiveness of civic networks and spaces for citizen participation, ultimately helping to produce responsible, conscious citizens. This study proposes a series of hypotheses based on the relationships between digital learning, critical thinking and civic participation, and tests them using the technique of structural equation modeling (SEM) with partial least squares (PLS) applied to a sample of 191 primary and secondary school students. The results indicate that digital tools have a positive impact on the development of critical thinking, and this influences citizen participation, transforming people into more engaged citizens of the world with participatory attitudes and values.

Each discipline is different: teacher capabilities for future-focussed digitally infused undergraduate programmes

Disciplines in Higher Education have their own interpretations of what is essential knowledge that influences what is taught, how teaching occurs, and the role of digital tools. Disciplinary culture is dynamic and evolving, informed by disciplinary research and technology improvement. During the COVID-19 pandemic, digital solutions enabled ongoing teaching when undergraduate courses could not be taught on campus, in lecture theatres, seminar rooms, laboratories, or in the field. Using digital tools and changes in teaching practices has created a context where Higher Education teachers must consider how future learning and teaching should occur. To explore this, a cross-discipline team used appreciative inquiry framed in complexity theory to examine how teaching in undergraduate programmes is changing in the digital age and implications for Higher Education teachers. The research identifies how digital technologies influence undergraduate programmes in Applied Statistics, Computer Science, Critical Indigenous Studies, Geography, and Information Systems. Analysis of the case studies identified how disciplinary culture, context, and technology combine to influence pedagogical practice and digital capabilities needed to teach in undergraduate programmes. We conclude that Higher Education teachers require capability in appropriate pedagogical practice that aligns with disciplinary culture and the technologies available.

Youth engagement for social justice: the role of digital tools in civic organizations dealing with migration

The present study aims to investigate the use of digital resources in the context of volun-tary/activist organizations dealing with migration. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted with young members of 13 organizations of the area of Bologna. The results from thematic analysis show that digital tools can improve youth social justice engagement and strengthen the community as a whole. These resources also allow better access for migrants to opportunities that could foster their empowerment and social inclusion, thus promoting social justice. However, the potential of these tools isn't fully exploited, partly because of the difficulties in using them with migrants in a situation of vulnerability. Within a social justice pro-motion framework, the results suggest the necessity of supporting the digital literacy of the whole community.

Use of Digital Tools, Social Isolation, and Lockdown in People 80 Years and Older Living at Home.

The COVID-19 crisis and associated lockdowns have exposed the extent of social isolation among older adults (OAs). Currently, the French government and medical, social, and charitable organizations are working to find means of limiting the multiple psychological and physical consequences of social isolation on the health of OAs. One proposal is to help the elderly become more comfortable using digital tools (DTs). However, the ability of DTs to reduce social isolation is disputed in the literature. This study aimed to collect the views of OAs on social isolation; to identify the determinants of the use or not of DTs, in particular in the context of a lockdown; and the role of DTs in the strategy to reduce social isolation. This qualitative study was based on 27 semi-structured individual interviews with OAs ≥ 80 years, in Côte-d’Or and Haute-Marne (French departments), from March to May 2021. A total of 96.3% of participants had already owned one or more DTs (mobile phone, tablet, or computer) for several years. The lockdown had not prompted the population to equip themselves more. The most common reason for using DTs was to maintain contact with relatives, and 63% of the participants said that DTs have a positive impact in reducing social isolation. However, there is a significant need for assistance and training in their use, especially since many services are now offered online. The participants suggested that the key to minimizing social isolation remained the maintenance of social contacts. In conclusion, DTs appear to be useful for helping the elderly maintain social links with relatives and, therefore, have a strategic place in the reduction of social isolation. However, these tools should not replace in-person interactions.
