Is There A Role Of Adding Defibrillation To Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy For Primary Prevention In Patients With Heart Failure And Reduced Ejection Fraction?, Hong Yee Lim, Yew Chung Chan, Wee Lee Chin, Soot Keng Ma

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is a major global health concern, and the mortality rate remains high despite advances in medical and device therapies. Cardiac resynchronization therapy with a pacemaker (CRT-P) and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapies have demonstrated efficacy in improving outcomes for patients with heart failure, but their roles in combination for primary prevention remain under ongoing investigation. This review explores the current literature on the role of adding defibrillation to CRT for primary prevention in HFrEF patients. We examine key studies, mechanisms of action, and clinical outcomes to evaluate the benefits, risks, and future directions of …

Future Perspective Of Pulse Field Ablation For Atrial Fibrillation, Ka-Ying Li, Ho-Ting Ngan, Chu-Pak Lau, Hung-Fat Tse

Journal of the Hong Kong College of Cardiology

Pulse field ablation (PFA) represents cutting edge technique in cardiac electrophysiology designed to treat arrhythmias. Unlike traditional catheter ablation methods that rely on thermal energy to create heart lesions, PFA employs pulsed electric fields to trigger irreversible electroporation, resulting in precise tissue ablation. This comprehensive review explores the mechanisms and clinical uses of PFA, emphasizing its potential benefits over conventional ablation techniques and exploring its limitations. It also examines clinical data on current PFA devices, which offer consistent procedural outcome and lower risk of thermal related complications. These developments have driven rapid advancements of modern PFA catheters, with future innovations …

Cartoons From The 2000s: The Representation Of Disability And A Culture Of Inclusion, Alessia Rosa, Claudia Chellini

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Representations of diversity and otherness in cartoons offer metaphors for identity that can affect children’s perceptions and attitudes towards the potential and challenges associated with various forms of disability. This contribution analyses a corpus of animations made up of feature films, series, and short films with a focus on how disability is represented. It examines the role that characters with physical or mental disabilities play in the story, the structure of narratives in which disability is presented as an integral part of reality, and the types of disability explored in the stories. The image that emerges is one in which …

Media Quiteracy: Why Digital Disconnection Belongs In The Media Literacy Curriculum, Katie Day Good, Michelle Ciccone

Journal of Media Literacy Education

In this essay, we introduce media quiteracy, which we use to conceptualize and describe the valuable learning that can happen through the refusal to take up new media or the act of pausing or ceasing its use. We see media quiteracy as an active and generative approach to learning and argue for its inclusion in the media literacy curriculum. We trace the history of critical engagement with technologies within education and then articulate what media quiteracy can look like in practice. We surface and discuss three potential obstacles to teaching media quiteracy, which include the ways in which it …

Centering Relation In Media Literacy Practice, Paul Mihailidis, Bobbie Foster, Shannon Burth, Srividya Ramasubramanian, Melissa Tully, Patrick Johnson

Journal of Media Literacy Education

As calls for media literacy in formal and informal learning spaces continue to grow, educators’ understanding of media literacies and their purposes remains complex. In 2021, the authors of this paper led a multi-methods research project on media literacy education in the United States, focusing on impact and equity. Findings showed that educators share a commitment to equity and justice but are unclear on how to incorporate them into their work. In response, our research team developed a field guide that maps out equitable media literacy practices for classrooms and communities. In this study, we detail the findings from 11 …

Firstly, it employs an exploratory qualitative approach, with the use of focus groups, the results of which contributed to the design of …

Measuring Adults’ Media Literacy Skills And News Media Literacy Knowledge In The Context Of Age, Gender, And Education Level, Agnese Davidsone, Vineta Silkane, Ianis Bucholtz

Journal of Media Literacy Education

In this study, we examine the relationships between self-reported media literacy skills, actual knowledge of news media literacy, and three sociodemographic factors: age, gender, and level of education. Data were collected through an online survey among a national sample of adults (n = 871) in Latvia. A significant positive correlation was found between all self-reported media literacy subscales and the knowledge subscales of news media literacy. Age was moderately negatively related to self-reported media literacy skills and weakly negatively related to news media literacy knowledge. The level of education was weakly positively correlated with both media literacy skills and …

Cognitive Diagnosis Of Media And Digital Literacy Knowledge Schema In Mexican High School Students, Janneth Trejo-Quintana, Guadalupe E. Morales-Martinez, Betsabe Hernandez-Alvarez

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This research explored the mental representation of media and digital literacy (MDL) in 242 Mexican high school students through a definitional task based on the natural semantic networks technique. The participants defined ten target concepts related to MDL, using verbs, nouns, and adjectives as definers, and then they rated each definer with a scale from 1 to 10. The smaller the number, the lower the quality of the definer to conceptualize the target, while the higher the rating, the higher the quality of the definer to define it. The participants showed a beginner level in MDL despite their daily navigation …

Provision Of Brand Information And Critical Reasoning Predict Advertising Literacy, Eugene Zheng Yao, Alexandra List

Journal of Media Literacy Education

This study investigated students’ critical reasoning about commercials, as an aspect of advertising literacy. Critical reasoning was examined under two different experimental conditions. That is, students were tasked with watching four different commercials with 1) brand information provided or not, and 2) asked to engage in critical reasoning or not. The commercials chosen used various production techniques (e.g., socially conscious marketing) to mask their persuasive message. Students provided with brand information within commercials had significantly higher critical reasoning scores when viewing two, out of the four, commercials, and significantly higher overall Analysis of Persuasive Intent (API) scores and brand recall. …

Effects Of Wikipedia Knowledge, Algorithm Awareness, And Reading Comprehension On Undergraduates’ Preference For And Use Of Lateral Reading Strategies To Evaluate Information, Arshia K. Lodhi, Patricia J. Brooks, C. Donnan Gravelle, Jessica E. Brodsky, Maryam Syed, Donna Scimeca

Journal of Media Literacy Education

Internet users are bombarded with information and need strategies to evaluate its trustworthiness. Expert fact-checkers rely on lateral reading, which involves investigating sources, finding better coverage, and tracing information back to original contexts. This study contrasted college students’ preference for and use of lateral reading to evaluate online content, and examined factors associated with variation in preference and use. Undergraduates (N = 483) often selected lateral reading as the preferred strategy for evaluating content (multiple-choice items) without demonstrating use of lateral reading (open-response tasks). Use of lateral reading was associated with higher Wikipedia knowledge, algorithm awareness, and reading comprehension; …

False Prophet And Profit: The Heroic Journeys Of Richard S. Shaver With Ray Palmer As Dark Mentor, James K. Beggan

Heroism Science

This article examines the infamous “Shaver Mystery” of the 1940s through the lens of Joseph Campbell’s monomyth, arguing that Richard S. Shaver’s life can be understood through the framework of three distinct but interconnected journeys. The first journey centers on Shaver’s alleged mystical revelations about the Deros and Teros underground civilizations. The second traces his literary collaboration with Amazing Stories editor Ray Palmer, who served as a complex “dark mentor” figure and may have exploited Shaver for commercial gain. The final journey chronicles Shaver’s transition to creating “rock books” and his posthumous recognition as an outsider artist. While the Shaver …
