Can anthropomorphism bring better persuasiveness? An empirical study on online health risk information
Purpose Anthropomorphism presents a promising strategy for improving information presentation in online health communication. Although showing significant potential, its underlying mechanisms and boundary conditions remain underexplored and warrant further research. This study, therefore, aims to investigate how anthropomorphic cues in online health risk information influence information persuasiveness, specifically examining the underlying mecha…
Intentional news avoidance on short-form video platforms
Previous studies have identified a correlation between individuals’ perception of news quality and their intention to avoid political news. However, limited research exists that examines the mechanisms that mediate or moderate this relationship, particularly in the context of short-form video platforms. This study, using a sample of 523 active users of Douyin, a Chinese short-form video platform, addresses this gap by examining the mediating infl…

Dialogic communication on local government social media during the first wave of Covid-19
Predicting Covid-19 vaccination intentions
Theoretically, this study increases current understanding about subjective norms and affective responses. We provoke a certain amount of thought about the role of affect response in relation to threat appraisal and vaccination intentions. Specifically, governments must be vigilant that citizens' negative affect, such as fear, may cause vaccine hesitation

This study, therefore, aims to provide a comprehensive review of academic efforts on cyberbullying definitions, measurements, and their effectiveness in children and adolescents in the past two decades. A systematic review was perfor…

In 'Disasters that Changed Australia', historian Richard Evans nominates the disasters that have been instrumental in creating the Australia we know today. From natural phenomenon such as Cyclone Tracy, the great drought and the Ash Wednesday a…

The paper briefly profiles the six HATs' designated areas, then assess…
The footage is decisive
This article adapts Marshall McLuhan’s writings on mass media to ubiquitous and universal surveillance systems, looking at surveillance as media. The term ‘broadcast media’ is derived from an agricultural metaphor, a technique of planting. I argue that CCTV systems are an inversion of broadcasting: ‘harvest media’. Drawing on three case studies in which CCTV has been relevant to allegations of police misconduct, I explore how harvest media impact…
Ancient Syracuse
Syracuse possesses a unique place in the history of the ancient Mediterranean because of its contribution to Greek culture and political thought and practice. Even in the first century BC Cicero could still declare ’You have often heard that of all the Greek cities Syracuse is the greatest and most beautiful.’ Sicily’s strategic location in the Mediterranean brought the city prosperity and power, placing it in the first rank of states in the anci…

E-commerce, Competitiveness and Local and Regional Governance in Greater Manchester and Merseyside
This paper assesses two northern cities' relative attractiveness to firms supplying e-commerce services and the relative significance and impact of supportive local and regional interventions. Contrary to the hype, e-commerce has not as yet fundamentally changed the relative status of these two city-regions and appears to be reinforcing existing power relations, hierarchies and income distribution. Local interventions remain at the formative stag…

The Relations of George Whitefield and Howell Harris, Fathers of Calvinistic Methodism
The eighteenth century Welsh revivalist, Howell Harris, was record conscious. He left behind almost 300 Diaries and almost 3,000 letters, together with miscellaneous papers, known as "The Trevecka Manuscripts". (Trevecka, a village in Breconshire, South Wales, was Harris's home.) Today, they form the nucleus of the Calvinistic Methodist Connexional Archives and are deposited in the National Library of Wales, at Aberystwyth

Ranking Occupations as Risky Income Prospects
This study investigates the problem of how best to measure the income attractiveness of various occupations, allowing for the differences among occupations in their stability of income. Analyzing data for eleven occupations from the one percent Public Use Sample of the 1970 U.S. Census of Occupations, the authors demonstrate the weaknesses of measures used in previous studies and the advantages of using stochastic dominance analysis
The Myth of Germany’s Missing Revolution

An Analysis of the Convergent and Discriminant Validity of the Personal Involvement Inventory and the Consumer Involvement Profile
In this paper two measures of involvement, the Personal Involvement Inventory and the Consumer Involvement Profile, were tested for both convergent and discriminant validity in the context of a high involvement product and a low involvement product. The results show that convergent validity does exist between the two measures. In addition, the research depicted the two measures as exhibiting discriminant validity relative to innovativeness and co…

Unhealthy Societies— the Afflictions of Inequality

And in this case read it even if the complexities of epidemiological research, of anthropology, of social psychology, economics, history or politics are not your home-ground: for though the book draws on all these areas it can and should be read from cover to cover. Wilkinson's thesis concerns the …

Classical influences on contemporary newspeak
We tend to think of modern phenomena such as ‘newspeak’ as being a child of the times in which we live, a child of the mass media age. However, in this article it is shown that ‘newspeak’ began at least 2000 years ago, and that the earliest examples of such language remain fundamental in current usage. The Romans, perhaps viewed as unemotional people, actually wrote in an emotional fashion, and were preoccupied with virtues and vices where these …
