Outsider Bodies, Everyday Lives: Single Mothers and Their Children in Red Vienna

AbstractHealthy bodies were central to the welfare projects of Red Vienna, 1919–34. This article traces the discourse of care surrounding single mothers and their children within the interwar Viennese welfare system, paying particular attention to the ways their bodies were described, monitored, and maximized for social utility. It establishes a shift in the perception of “worth” for these citizens, and then contrasts this stated value with the remembered experiences of children growing up without legal fathers in Red Vienna.

Multi-objective decision making of natural gas distribution optimization considering clean heating——evidence from Beijing

ABSTRACT Since the implementation of China’s clean heating plan in 2017, the progress of natural gas replacing coal for heating is still not ideal. With the proposal of the goal of carbon neutralization and the impact of international war, the price, supply, and demand of natural gas have attracted attention. In case of gas shortage, reasonable schemes are required to be allocated to different industries and categories. Therefore, this research divides the gas field into four levels according to the social utility, and establishes the multi-objective distribution optimization model considering the social and economic benefits. The solution of the model is based on genetic algorithm and realized on MATLAB. Multi-objective optimization strategies and several constraints are used to make the algorithm’s process of the search is continuously moving closer to the Pareto optimal front. Taking Beijing as an example, two scenarios are set to simulate and optimize, so as to verify the optimization effect of the model. Better quantitative results are created after reallocation of natural gas. The ideal scenario realizes 5.64% more social benefits than 2019 through additional allocation of 117.288 million cubic meters of reserve gas. The constraint scenario creates 0.67% more socialbenefits with only 0.07% decrease of the economic benefits. The conclusions show that allocating more gas to three main industries can improve the optimization effect and it is necessary to expand the supply of natural gas reserve volume. This paper provides a new perspective of natural gas allocation category and priority, providing theoretical and practical ideas for the planning of natural gas security emergency plan and the development of gas sales plan.

The Australian Centaur State and the Post-Pandemic Economic Recovery

AbstractThis article uses Loïc Wacquant’s concept of the centaur state to analyse symbolic framings of the meaning and future of work in the Australian policy response to COVID-19 in 2020. In contrast with historical conceptualisations anchored in rights and social security, contemporary Australian social welfare policy discourse is dominated by political representations of the imperative to work. For people currently outside of the labour market, self-reliance through paid work is a primary objective of social security policy. In 2020, economic impacts of national lockdowns were ameliorated by large transfers from the state to businesses and individuals. Concurrent announcements of plans for a ‘business-led’ post-pandemic economic recovery centred the message that the meaning of work lies in its individual and social utility. Prior to the pandemic, transformation of the modes of organisation of work had already brought into question normative claims about the meaning of work, and what is comprehended by the term ‘job’. Analysis of key ‘economic recovery’ policy initiatives illustrates that they combined considerable corporate welfare with a construction of job seekers as having unrealistic expectations of meaningful work, for which there could be no room in the institutional machinery driving economic recovery. In the policy trajectory of the Australian centaur state, the future of work for people currently unemployed is to serve as a resource to fuel the business-led recovery.

Social Networking Using Social Media for Small Enterprises: Strategies, Challenges and Measure of Success

Despite its huge share of business establishment, SMEs contribution to the overall GDP is only 37.1%. Digital technology utilisation i.e., social media, fosters collaboration between SMEs-customers-product influencers in realizing the aim. SME Digitalisation policy established and urge SMEs to increase the social media marketing to 39%. But there is limited knowledge and absence of SME social media collaboration framework. The philosophy behind the social media marketing is social networking. With the advance of big data analytics, social network analysis enables the identification of product influencers. But research on social media utilisation to identify influencers and networking in social media received limited attention, compounded by the absence of metrics to measure success of the initiative. Therefore, this research aims to answer the following questions: (1) How does social media collaboration implement into SME business functional areas i.e., marketing? (2) What are the problems and challenges faced in social media collaboration implementation into business functional areas i.e., marketing? and (3) What are the measures of success for SME social media collaboration in functional areas of business i.e., marketing? The research methodology used will be reviewing existing literatures related to this topic. This research will identify building blocks of SME social media collaboration in relationship-marketing approach. The research output helps in further improving the execution of SMEs Digitalisation Policy and establishing the research methodology of social media data analytics in social science.

Social media integration: An opportunity for SMEs sustainability

The changing trend in the circular economy has pushed most firms to be competitive in their business activities using emerging technology. SMEs in recent times are increasingly leveraging technologies such as social media to enhance their interactions with their customers, increase their reach and become competitive. Despite this, SMEs in the manufacturing sector in developing economies are often underexplored in literature in their resolve to leverage social media to improve their performance and sustainability. This research explores the integration of social media in SME manufacturing firms’ activities toward their performance and sustainability in developing countries. Drawing on relevant literature and the social media engagement theory, we employed a questionnaire survey to collect data from 417 managers/staff of SME manufacturing firms in Ghana, using PLS-SEM techniques for the analysis. Research findings revealed that social media integration proved a direct positive correlation with SME manufacturing firms’ performance. Additionally, it was revealed that social media utilization has a positive and significant effect on SME manufacturing firms’ performance. The findings further show that social media usage assists SME firms’ performance and fosters their sustainability. It is concluded that SMEs should incorporate social media marketing strategies for firms’-customer relationships and internal and external collaboration. By implication, this study offers practitioners and researchers knowledge regarding social media integration among SMEs in emerging economies.

Development of preservice teachers’ competence beliefs, career values, and perceptions of teaching as a profession: A longitudinal study

Competence beliefs, career values, and perceptions regarding teaching as a profession have important implications for preservice teachers' professional development. Longitudinal research concerning the development of preservice teachers' competence beliefs, values, and perceptions of teaching remains scarce. We investigated a sample of 270 Chinese preservice teachers on three measurement occasions. The expectancy-value theory framework was employed as a theoretical framework. We first tested the longitudinal measurement invariance of the FIT-Choice scale and then examined the growth trajectories of preservice teachers’ competence beliefs, career values, and perceptions of teaching as a profession over time. The results showed that the FIT-Choice scale was characterized by longitudinal measurement invariance. The Chinese preservice teachers included in our sample exhibited an overall decline in the growth trajectories of values (e.g., social utility value) and perceptions of teaching (e.g., expertise, social status, salary, and career choice satisfaction) over time, with the exception of their perceptions of difficulty, which exhibited an overall increase over time. Their initial levels of all types of values and perception constructs exhibited individual variability. We did not find individual differences in the development of the constructs that we studied. Practical implications are discussed.

The strategic analysis of service mode selection for a ride‐hailing platform

AbstractThis paper examines the service mode selection strategy of a ride‐hailing platform and analyzes the impact of the strategy on consumers and drivers. The platform has three service modes to select from, including Mode L (only low‐quality services), Mode H (only high‐quality services), and Mode HL (high‐ and low‐quality services). We find that each service mode does not affect the price and the wage of the low‐quality service but affects those of the high‐quality service. Additionally, the platform cannot optimally select Mode L. The platform is better off if the car quality difference between high‐ and low‐quality services (CQD) is small and is worse off otherwise, under Mode HL. Counter‐intuitively, it is conditional for Mode HL to bring the highest surpluses to both consumers and drivers, and the conditions are related to CQD, social status utility of consumers and cost ratio between the drivers providing the two types of services.

Trends and issues relating to social media utilisation in academic libraries: Experiences from the University of Limpopo subject librarians

Background: As social media tools spread across every aspect of human life, academic librarians were apt to be their early adopters to boost the service provision in academic libraries.Objective: Guided by Technology Acceptance Model, this article examined a variety of social media tools used by academic librarians; usage and usefulness of social media; organisational support provided to academic librarians to use social media; and the factors that impede usage of social media in academic libraries.Methodology: This article employed a qualitative research methodology through semi- structured interviews with 10 purposively selected academic librarians attached to the University of Limpopo library.Results: The results showed that respondents were mostly familiar with WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, which they used in their personal capacity. However, in their work environment, they utilised the library blog and Facebook to market and promote library services and to liaise with their users in schools or faculties. Restrictions of access to social media platforms during working hours, lack of skills, own social media policy and management support in the form of training were found to be factors that impede social media usage by academic librarians.Conclusion: Social media have a great deal of potential to contribute immensely towards the delivery of information services in academic libraries, though they are neglected.Contribution: Incorporation of social media in library work environment requires social media policies and subject librarians to be well equipped with different kinds of social media platforms for the advantage of academic libraries and their users.

Spatial effect of transportation infrastructure on regional circular economy: evidence from Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Compared with the linear economy, the circular economy can solve the contradiction between social development and resource utilization, which has attracted wide attention. Although the relationship between transportation infrastructure and economic development has changed from traditional mode to spatial mode, the spatial effect of transportation infrastructure on regional circular economy is still unclear. By combining the policy changes for developing the circular economy in China, this study constructs a comprehensive index of circular economy development in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA). Based on the time and space development of the circular economy in GBA, we analyze the spatial effect of transportation infrastructure on it. The results show that the regional circular economy in GBA has developed, but has not been decoupled from economic development. The development of the regional circular economy presents a positive spatial spillover effect, which is beneficial to the building of the regional recycling market. The improvement of transportation infrastructure has a positive impact on the circular economy of neighboring cities, but it may have the risk of inhibiting the development of the local circular economy. These findings provide policy recommendations for urban planners to coordinate the development of transportation infrastructure and circular economy.

Prevalence and factors associated with anxiety and depression among community-dwelling older adults in Hunan, China: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundOlder adults’ psychological health is a public health issue that cannot be ignored, especially when these psychological health problems and related factors change across different social backgrounds because of rapid changes in traditions and family structures and the epidemic responses after the outbreak of COVID-19 in China. The aim of our study is to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression and their associated factors among community-dwelling older adults in China.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from March to May 2021 with 1173 participants aged 65 years or above from three communities in Hunan Province, China who were selected using convenience sampling. A structured questionnaire including sociodemographic characteristics, clinical characteristics, the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the 7-Item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9) was used to collect relevant demographic and clinical data and to measure social support status, anxiety symptoms, and depressive symptoms, respectively. Bivariate analyses were conducted to explore the difference in anxiety and depression based on samples’ different characteristics. The multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to test for significant predictors of anxiety and depression.ResultsThe prevalence of anxiety and depression were 32.74% and 37.34%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that being female, being unemployed before retirement age, lacking physical activity, having physical pain, and having three or more comorbidities were significant predictors for anxiety. Subjective social support and support utilization were significant protective factors. Regarding depression, religion, lacking physical activity, having physical pain, having three or more comorbidities were found to be significant predictors. Support utilization was a significant protective factor.ConclusionsThe study group showed a high prevalence of anxiety and depression. Gender, employment status, physical activity, physical pain, comorbidities, and social support were associated with psychological health problems of older adults. These findings suggest that governments should focus on the psychological health problems of older adults by raising community awareness of issues related to older adults’ psychological health. They should also screen for anxiety and depression among high-risk groups and encourage individuals to seek supportive counseling.

Implications of strategic position choices by candidates

AbstractI examine the implications of strategic position choices by candidates under two different voting rules: Instant Runoff and Condorcet-Minimax. A neural net forecasts the chances of winning at different ideologies and candidates alter their ideology to maximize their expected utility. This results in different candidate behavior and outcomes than in the non-strategic scenario. Further, the maximal utility strategy differs significantly between the two voting rules being examined. I propose a refinement to the social utility efficiency metric to account for the different utility of the candidate’s chosen positions and use this metric to contrast the outcomes. Finally, this divergence in strategy calls into question the practice of using data (ballots, or survey data) gathered under one voting rule to analyze a different voting rule.

Review: Pastels and Pedophiles: Inside the Mind of QAnon, by Mia Bloom and Sophia Moskalenko

This book is an excellent introduction to the origins of the QAnon posts (“drops”), their origin and history, the constituencies who were most influenced by QAnon, why people were attracted to the worldview, and what can be done when family members go down the rabbit hole of QAnon conspiracy theories.Mia Bloom is a political scientist who researches and publishes on various aspects of terrorism studies. Sophia Moskalenko is a psychologist who studies “mass identity, inter-group conflict, and conspiracy theories” (back cover flap). She has published books on how conflict contributes to radicalization and on the attraction of martyrdom. Pastels and Pedophiles is written in the combined voice of the two authors. Due to their different specializations, it is possible to distinguish one author’s writing from the other’s but this does not detract from the cohesion of the book.Chapter 1, “Looney Lies and Conspiracies: Making Sense of QAnon,” introduces the QAnon conspiracy theories, describes the origin of QAnon posts on 28 October 2017, discusses QAnon-supporting candidates for political office in 2020 and the ones elected to Congress, and reports statistics showing the growing percentage of QAnon believers in the United States—from 5 percent in 2019 to 17 percent in February 2021 (3). This chapter explores evidence for who QAnon poster(s) might have been. The authors demonstrate how the QAnon conspiracy theories are modeled on prior antisemitic conspiracy theories, notably the fictitious pamphlet, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1902/1903) produced in Russia. The QAnon conspiracy theory that Democrats and their Hollywood elite supporters kidnap and torture children to extract a chemical that they use to keep themselves youthful is a reformulation of the old “blood libel” Christian conspiracy theory against Jews. Democrats are also accused of child sex-trafficking in the QAnon conspiracy theories. The chapter describes QAnon as a collection of conspiracy theories with believers continuing to create new variations.Chapter 2, which examines the 6 January 2021 insurrection, links former President Donald Trump’s supporters’ belief in QAnon conspiracy theories with the attempt to overthrow the outcome of the 2020 presidential election by attacking Congress. The chapter delves into contributing factors for people’s acceptance of QAnon conspiracy theories, including former military personnel suffering from PTSD, troubled family or personal backgrounds, and the monetization of QAnon merchandise. QAnon was marketed to women’s concerns about protecting children in posts in pastel colors. The authors argue that the COVID-19 pandemic and the subsequent shutdowns and social isolation contributed to more people reading QAnon conspiracy theories online and becoming converted.Chapter 3 looks at the radicalization of QAnon believers. It discusses how QAnon adherents say their conversion is similar to the character Neo in The Matrix (1999), who takes a red pill that awakens him to reality. This chapter also considers the QAnon belief in Trump as a savior, “the ultimate masculine hero who would rescue abused children” (100). In this regard, Bloom and Moskalenko argue that QAnon is “a kind of religion” (98). According to the authors,FolQlore satisfies four important needs for QAnon followers: a need to feel smart (cognitive utility); a need to feel connected (social utility); a need to feel positive emotions (emotional utility); and a need to feel like one’s life has a purpose (personal utility). (104)Chapter 4 explores the movement after the 6 January 2021 assault against the Capitol, when QAnon believers sorted themselves into “the Diehards,” “the Doubters,” and “the Defectors.” Strategies to promote critical thinking and social media literacy among Americans are discussed. The authors assert that online efforts to utilize QAnon to divide Americans have particularly originated from Russia (123–4, 132). Concerning the types of people who attacked the Capitol on 6 January, the chapter cites studies concluding that 68 percent of those individuals had psychopathologies (137). Steven Hassan’s theory of mind control is mentioned briefly (141) but not emphasized. Reflecting Moskalenko’s background in psychology, the authors recommend mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) formulated by Jon Kabat-Zinn as a way that people can cope with their concerns without resorting to conspiracy theories (147–8).Chapter 5, “Qontagion,” traces the spread of QAnon conspiracy theories worldwide and the appeal of QAnon to evangelical Christians. The role of Vladimir Putin utilizing online trolls to spread QAnon conspiracy theories in social media is also considered. The authors conclude that “QAnon’s spread is a well-executed psyop…a speciality of Putin’s KGB training” (169).The final chapter, “FAQs,” answers questions about QAnon, including how best to deal with family members who are QAnon adherents with varying levels of commitment and radicalization.Pastels and Pedophiles is an indispensable study of all aspects of the QAnon conspiracy theories for scholars studying and teaching about the movement.

38. Social Media Usage by Plastic Surgery Fellowship Programs: Are There Gaps in Opportunities for Engagement?

Background: Social media utilization in plastic surgery training has been growing exponentially since 2010. The importance of social media for integrated plastic surgery residency programs has already been well-demonstrated in the literature, with previous studies identifying correlation between number of social media followers and program reputation on Doximity. While these findings could possibly generalize to fellowship programs, there has not been a comprehensive analysis in this space to date. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize major plastic surgery fellowship programs’ social media usage, in order to identify potential opportunities within the space to generate engagement. Methods: United States plastic surgery fellowship programs in four major sub-specialties (Hand, Microsurgery, Craniomaxillofacial, and Aesthetic) were identified via the public database plasticsurgeryfellowship.org. Fellowship program names and their respective conjugates were independently queried in August 2022 on three separate platforms (Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter) to evaluate for social media presence. Platform-specific parameters were collected on an account-by-account basis and statistically analyzed in aggregate. Results: 20.7% of US Hand fellowship programs had Instagram accounts, versus 6.7%, 4.2%, and 0% for Aesthetic, CMF, and Microsurgery programs respectively. Hand was the only fellowship to have a social media presence on Twitter, whereas Microsurgery and Aesthetic were the only fellowships to have social media presences on Facebook. The first fellowship Instagram account was created in May 2017, with the majority of accounts (14/23) being created between 2020 and 2021. Geographically, 30.4% of United States fellowship Instagram accounts were from programs located in the South, 30.4% from programs in the West coast, 26.1% in the Midwest, and 13.0% in the Northeast. Conclusion: Social media is underutilized by plastic surgery fellowship programs and therefore is a space with significant potential for growth. In particular, Instagram represents the platform with the most activity and promise, with median followers for fellowship programs in the hundreds or thousands. The absence of microsurgery fellowship Instagram accounts despite the large number of microsurgery fellowship programs in the US is a notable discrepancy. Such discrepancies represent significant opportunities for fellowship programs to increase visibility and engagement.

Using Machine Learning Techniques to Incorporate Social Priorities in Traffic Monitoring in a Junction with a Fast Lane

Abstract Traffic lights monitoring that considers only traffic volumes is not necessarily the optimal way to time the green/red allocation in a junction. A “smart” allocation should also consider the necessities of the vehicle’s passengers and the needs of the people those passengers ought to serve. This paper deals with a “smart” junction, where several cars approach the intersection from different directions and a traffic light is set to comply to a sequence of time intervals of red and green lights in each direction. The novel approach presented here is based not only on traffic congestion parameters, but also on the social and economic characteristics of the passengers (e.g. a handicapped person, a medical doctor, an employee who is extremely required in a certain organization due to an emergency situation). This paper proposes to enhance the smart junction with a fast lane, which has a flexible entry permit based on social and economic criteria. Machine learning (specifically, Reinforcement Learning (RL)) is added to the junction’s algorithm with the aim of optimizing the social utility of the junction. For the purposes of this study, the utility of the junction is defined by the total social and economic potential benefits given a certain red/green time allocation is set. This is defined as the measure of the reward function which contains positive factors for vehicles which crossed the junction or advanced their position and a negative factor for vehicles which remains in their positions. In addition, a weight value for the vehicles with high priority is also part of the equation. A simplified version of the smart junction has been used, serving as a model for incorporating RL into the “smart’ junction with Fast Lane (FL). Specifically, the Q-Learning algorithm is used to maximize the reward function. Simulation results show that prioritizing high priority vehicles via FL is influenced by the weights and factors given to the reward components. Farther research should enhance the “Smart” junction with FL to a more complex and realistic one using a varying amount of vehicles crossing the junction.

Third, Factors in the maintained and strengthened area were career goal adjustment ability and social responsible behavior. Fourth, Factors career adaptability with relatively low educational needs were found self-understanding, work environment exploration, and positive career beliefs.
 Conclusions Those results will suggest basic directions to development of the career adaptability program at college.

Lessons From COVID-19 for the Next War: Crisis Standards of Care in the Role 3 Intensive Care Unit.

The rationing of medical resources became a common practice during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. To cope with overwhelming patient numbers, hospitals were forced to adopt "crisis standards of care" (CSC) guidelines, which allow physicians to navigate the task of rationing health care resources in both an effective and ethically sound manner. The Military Health System currently has clinical guidelines for mass casualty incident (MCI) triage but lacks deployed Role 3 intensive care unit (ICU) CSC guidelines. In future peer and near-peer conflicts, this gap may prove detrimental when thousands of casualties following a single battle create a continuous and prolonged mass casualty event. The challenges of providing critical care in a battlefield hospital during a large conflict are unique and numerous, but lessons from COVID-19 ICUs such as transitioning to a utilitarian ethic, clear definitions, decision points, and decision authorities, as well as the establishment of clinical practice guidelines formulated from evidence-based protocols, can better prepare the U.S. expeditionary medical force for future conflicts. A battlefield CSC will allow military critical care physicians and nurses to manage overwhelmed ICUs and make better triage decisions, allowing them to provide a higher quality of care to the collective. In this commentary, we explore the need for Wartime CSC in the battlefield Role 3 ICU and the tools and methods used by civilian and military institutions to create and enact CSCs throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cardiovascular health promotion: A systematic review involving effectiveness of faith-based institutions in facilitating maintenance of normal blood pressure.

Globally, faith institutions have a range of beneficial social utility, but a lack of understanding remains regarding their role in cardiovascular health promotion, particularly for hypertension. Our objective was assessment of modalities, mechanisms and effectiveness of hypertension health promotion and education delivered through faith institutions. A result-based convergent mixed methods review was conducted with 24 databases including MEDLINE, Embase and grey literature sources searched on 30 March 2021, results independently screened by three researchers, and data extracted based on behaviour change theories. Quality assessment tools were selected by study design, from Cochrane risk of bias, ROBINS I and E, and The Joanna Briggs Institute's Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument tools. Twenty-four publications contributed data. Faith institution roles include cardiovascular health/disease teaching with direct lifestyle linking, and teaching/ encouragement of personal psychological control. Also included were facilitation of: exercise/physical activity as part of normal lifestyle, nutrition change for cardiovascular health, cardiovascular health measurements, and opportunistic blood pressure checks. These demand relationships of trust with local leadership, contextualisation to local sociocultural realities, volitional participation but prior consent by faith / community leaders. Limited evidence for effectiveness: significant mean SBP reduction of 2.98 mmHg (95%CI -4.39 to -1.57), non-significant mean DBP increase of 0.14 mmHg (95%CI -2.74 to +3.01) three months after interventions; and significant mean SBP reduction of 0.65 mmHg (95%CI -0.91 to -0.39), non-significant mean DBP reduction of 0.53 mmHg (95%CI -1.86 to 0.80) twelve months after interventions. Body weight, waist circumference and multiple outcomes beneficially reduced for cardiovascular health: significant mean weight reduction 0.83kg (95% CI -1.19 to -0.46), and non-significant mean waist circumference reduction 1.48cm (95% CI -3.96 to +1.00). In addressing the global hypertension epidemic the cardiovascular health promotion roles of faith institutions probably hold unrealised potential. Deliberate cultural awareness, intervention contextualisation, immersive involvement of faith leaders and alignment with religious practice characterise their deployment as healthcare assets.

#OrthoTwitter: Relationship Between Author Twitter Utilization and Academic Impact in Orthopaedic Surgery.

Background #OrthoTwitter has evolved to disseminate findings and engage the public. However, the academic impact of Twitter utilization in orthopaedic surgery is unknown. Questions/purposes The purpose of the study was to evaluate relationships between the author and manuscript Twitter activity and citations. Methods Manuscripts in 17 orthopaedic journals from 2018 were identified. Citations, online mentions, impact factors, and subspecialties were obtained. H-index and Twitter account details for authors were obtained for a subset of manuscripts. Relationships between Twitter activity and citations were evaluated. Results 2,473/4,224 (58.5%) manuscripts were mentioned on Twitter (n=29,958 mentions), with Twitter manuscripts cited more frequently (median 10 vs. 7, p<0.0001). Twitter mentions, impact factors, non-open-access status, and subspecialties were associated with citation counts. Articles mentioned in 10, 100, and 1,000 Tweets were observed to have a 1.1-fold, 1.7-fold, and 245-fold increase in citations. In author-level analyses, 156 (20.0%) first and 216 (27.7%) senior authors had Twitter accounts. Citation count was associated with increasing senior author H-index (β est=0.13, p<0.05), Twitter mentions (β est=0.0043, p<0.0001), impact factors (β est=0.13, p<0.0001), and having a first (β est=0.20, p<0.05) or senior author (β est=0.17, p<0.05) on Twitter. Articles published in arthroplasty (β est=0.49, p<0.05), general interest (β est=0.55, p<0.01), sports (β est=0.63, p<0.01), and non-open access journals (β est=0.41, p<0.001) were cited more. H-index correlated with followers for first (rho=0.31, p<0.0001) and senior authors (rho=0.44, p<0.0001). Conclusion Author Twitter utilization is independently associated with manuscript citations. Authors should be aware of the potential association between social media utilization and traditional academic impact. Understanding the relationship between social media utilization and academic impact is necessary to effectively disseminate research.

미래사회 예술교육을 위한 국가수준 교육과정 총론에서의 예술교과군 도입에 대한 담론

Objectives This study attempted to explore whether various arts areas in school art can be taught in the curriculum through implications by reviewing the validity of the introduction of the art curriculum, which began discussion in the 2009 revised curriculum standards.&#x0D; Methods For the study, literature research analyzed the classification of traditional subject areas, the classification system of art areas, and the types of art subject classification in various countries to derive implications for art subject classification. In addition, it was intended to confirm the implications of the introduction of the art curriculum on diversification of the art curriculum by checking the status of the art curriculum from the teaching period of the Korean curriculum to the 2022 revised curriculum standards.&#x0D; Results The advantage of the curriculum is that it is easy to introduce art areas that reflect the needs of society, and by operating them together with the intensive completion system, students can experience art in depth and highlight the social utility of art. On the other hand, he pointed out that systematic learning of one art area can be difficult as a disadvantage, and that there should be a teacher pool to teach various art genres.&#x0D; Conclusions First, it is necessary to include various art areas, including music and art, in education within the national-level curriculum. Second, it is necessary to develop a modular curriculum as a method of organizing and operating various art fields in schools. Third, art equipment and facilities that are difficult to support in schools can use art cars. Fourth, by teaching students various art genres, it is possible to help them explore careers that suit their interests and aptitudes.
