Does Reporting Of Israeli Organ Harvesting Constitute Blood Libelous Folklore, And Why Does It Matter?, Simon J. Bronner

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

Global news reporting of “organ harvesting” by Israeli soldiers for medical institutions in the twenty-first century is analyzed as “newslore,” defined by folklorist- journalist Russell Frank as “folklore that comments on, and is therefore indecipherable without knowledge of, current events.” Built on hearsay, the reports, especially in the Arab press during the Israel-Hamas War, begun in 2023, have connections to a complex of antisemitic “blood libel” narratives in Europe about Jews violating the bodies of Christian children. The accusations of organ harvesting invoked a number of antisemitic tropes that were visually conveyed globally through memes and posts on the internet, …

Jewish Women’S Folk Memory Of Argentine Schooldays, 1900–1955, Jacqueline Laznow

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

This essay explores the folkloric formation of Jewish-Argentine female identity through schoolyard experiences and domestic resistance in the first half of the twentieth century. Drawing on interviews with women who later made aliyah, the study analyzes these accounts as personal experience narratives, arguing that painful memories of antisemitism and “otherness” are cognitively restructured through folk processes into a symbolic frame for communal interpretation. These narratives function as “legend discourse,” sparking commentary and intergenerational transmission, and serve as mechanisms for reconstructing daily life within a dominant Christian culture. They reveal a “hyphenated” Jewish-Argentine identity reimagined from the perspective of the narrators’ …

Introduction: The Folklore And Ethnology Of Antisemitism, Simon J. Bronner

Jewish Folklore and Ethnology

A global rise in incidents and beliefs in the twenty-first century that monitoring and polling organizations label “antisemitic” raises several questions addressed by contributors to this special issue. A basic one is definitional regarding discourse about the shifting meaning of antisemitism in light of post-Holocaust events and digital age communication. A historical question is whether contemporary forms of antisemitism are connected to or a break from the term’s nineteenth-century roots. Related to that issue in modern discourse is whether antisemitism is an umbrella concept or separate from anti-Judaism, anti-Jewish, anti-Israel, and anti-Zionism movements. The materials of folklore—both as esoteric forms …

Design And Structural Architecture Of A Non-Equilibrium Hydrothermal Liquefaction Reactor Utilizing Multi-Stage Wave-Field Catalysis And Fluidized Acoustic Boundary Transport, Christopher L. Eckes

Defensive Publications Series

This technical design paper presents the formalized architecture for a continuous-flow, process-intensified Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) system designed to convert heterogeneous, highly viscous organic waste streams—such as municipal sewage sludge, microplastics, and halogenated industrial wastes—into drop-in synthetic biocrude and valuable chemical fractions.

Legacy HTL systems suffer from severe, interlocking mechanical liabilities: thermal boundary-layer coking, flow stagnation, extreme chloride/fluoride corrosion, and rapid catalytic deactivation via structural sintering. This architecture systematically bypasses these limits by abandoning static reactor geometry and internal dynamic mechanical components.

The physical configuration relies on a vertical, gravity-assisted cascade of high-pressure, un-equilibrated spherical reaction vessels constructed from high-performance alloys …

Crc-Based Dynamic Te Metric Adjustment And Recovery Mechanism For Rsvp-Te Tunnels, Abhishek Garg, Jaiesh Thapar, Rajeev Anand

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a proactive traffic engineering recovery mechanism for Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) tunnels based on physical-layer link degradation indicators, such as cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors. Existing RSVP-TE and transport control-plane mechanisms generally react only after hard failures, such as link-down events, loss of signal, Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) timeout, or RSVP signaling timeout. However, high-speed optical and packet networks may experience soft failures in which a link remains operationally up while packet corruption or error rates increase due to fiber degradation, dirty connectors, optic issues, or other physical-layer impairments. In such cases, traffic continues …

Mapping Media Literacy Assessment: A Systematic Review To Connect The Dots, Lara Azar, Casey Frechette, Hafsa Zia, Joy Amulya

Journal of Media Literacy Education

The goal of this study was to address persistent challenges in assessing media literacy by reviewing assessments developed between 2011 and 2020. We combined landscape analysis, research synthesis, and grounded theory to select assessments, identify key attributes, iteratively code, analyze, and create an integrated synthesis of approaches to media literacy assessments. The analysis classified media literacy constructs by learning dimension (knowledge, skills, attitudes, behaviors) and participation mode (consumption, engagement, creation). The results showed that while most assessments focused on consumption-oriented constructs, engagement- and creation-oriented constructs were also included. Assessments primarily served three research purposes: evaluating media literacy levels in populations, …

Too Close For Comfort: Indigenous ‘Genre’ Film As Impactful In Pedagogies Of Reconciliation, Brendan M. Burrows

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This article examines the pedagogical potential of Indigenous-created genre film—specifically, Jeff Barnaby’s Rhymes for Young Ghouls (Barnaby, 2013)—in promoting critical engagement with the legacies of colonial violence in Canada. Drawing on Susan Dion’s (2009) concept of the perfect stranger and film activist Ariel Smith’s analysis of Indigenous horror cinema, the study examines how three educators responded to the film and reflected on its curricular applications. Using constructivist grounded theory and cultural studies frameworks, the research reveals both the transformative promise and institutional constraints of integrating emotionally intense media into classroom settings. Findings suggest that while the film evokes affective responses …

Demographic Context Of Media And Information Literacy (Mil) Skills Among Senior High School Students In Ghana, Patience Emefa Dzandza Ocloo, Aurelia Ayisi, Abena Animwaa Yeboah-Banin, Annie Oye

Empowerment Or Oppression? College Students’ Interpretations Of Sex And Relationships In The Popular Media, Nicola Mcclung, Riana Pella

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Scholars have long emphasized the harmful effects of overtly sexist and oppressive media images on young people’s understandings of sex and relationships. Yet, this emphasis on explicit harm leaves a gap in understanding how college students interpret subtle, hidden, and ambiguous media messages. To address this gap, we asked 196 California college students at a large public university to critique a range of mainstream media content— from overtly oppressive, to affirming of nondominant gender identities, to containing mixed messages about empowerment and oppression. Responses were coded using our media literacy scoring guide for assessing students’ ability to critically analyze media …

Automated Media: Challenges And Opportunities For Media Literacy Education, Arnaud Claes, Jerry Jacques, Antonin Descampe, Victor Wiard

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This paper offers a theoretical reflection on the evolving landscape of automated media, focusing on how automation and so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping traditional media-related practices and the competences required for media literacy. It examines how automated media technologies, such as recommendation algorithms and generative AI, might reshape the critical skills necessary to navigate a complex digital ecosystem. By framing AI-driven media practices through a social-action perspective and treating media as human activities, we argue that media literacy models should encompass competences related to the operation of computational automata, particularly through the management of inbound and outbound information flows. …

Eschatological Echoes: Reading The Bible And The Harry Potter Series, Athira Mohan Dr

Dialogue: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Popular Culture and Pedagogy

Death has been a major topic in children’s and adolescent literature , which has invited scholarly discourse over different ages. While death was very commonly featured in the puritanical texts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, it was also deemed to be a subject too sensitive for the genre of children’s literature in the early twentieth century(Aries 1975), due to a combination of factors such as lowered child mortality rate and heightened concern for childhood as a special social category. However, contemporary children’s and adolescent literature focuses on death as an important part of human life, and invites discussions on …

Paired Price-Vs-Departure-Duration Charts As A Direct Selection Surface For Round-Trip Flight Itineraries, Laurent Tran

Defensive Publications Series

This disclosure describes a user-interface technique for selecting the two legs of a round-trip (or, more generally, a multi-leg) air itinerary directly from data-visualization charts rather than from a ranked textual list. Two coordinated charts — one for the outbound leg and one for the return leg — each plot every candidate flight offer at a position determined by its price along one axis and its departure time along the other axis, and each chart serves as the primary selection control: a traveler chooses a leg by activating the graphical mark that represents a flight. The two charts are coupled, …

Reinforcement Learning-Based Anti-False Triggering Onlooker Detection System And Method, Hp Inc

Defensive Publications Series

A reinforcement learning-based anti-false triggering onlooker detection system and method for intelligent laptops are disclosed to mitigate alert fatigue and accidental lockouts caused by dynamic environments. The system continuously captures multi-modal environmental status information via a sensor module. When the status satisfies a low-power threshold, a primary trigger processor awakens a backend reinforcement learning decision engine, which outputs a graded defense action based on a dynamic confidence threshold. Within a predefined observation window following the action, the system captures implicit user feedback to calculate a reward signal, updating policy network parameters in real time. The invention significantly improves triggering accuracy, …
