Emerging botulism in Vietnam: Identifiable risk factors, future perspective, and recommendations
The gram-positive, anaerobic bacterium Clostridium botulinum (C. botulinum) causes botulism, a severe neuroparalytic disease that affects both humans and vertebrate animals. This bacterium is typically found in the form of endospores in nature. Unless C. botulinum spores germinate and create vegetative cells that produce neurotoxins, people are frequently not at risk from it. Spores typically [...]
Wear your digital mask, fight this virus like it’s the enemy: Pandemic user-citizenship as platform-infrastructure entanglements
This paper articulates the emergence of the user-citizen as a result of techno-solutionist approaches to pandemic management by tracing the rapid infrastructuralisation of surveillance in and through the platformisation of pandemic governance in Vietnam. Coinciding with Vietnam’s rollout of chip-based national identification cards for citizens over the age of 14, the development of a one-stop ‘super-app’ solution that streamlines data flows acros…
Healthcare collapse in Afghanistan due to political crises, natural catastrophes, and dearth of international aid post-Covid
Digital Research Methods and the Diaspora: Assembling Transnational Networks with and Beyond Digital Data
The computational turn in the social sciences and humanities has generated much excitement about the potential to refresh our approaches to the study of the techno-social. From natively digital to digitised data, researchers of digital diasporas increasingly find themselves working with a range of disparate digital objects. These digital objects can include anything from hyperlink to timestamps, from platform behavioural metrics such as react, sh…
Cambodia achieved a high vaccination coverage for its population: A good example of a lower middle-income country
The COVID-19 global epidemic is a major catastrophe with disastrous negative health effects on the economy and society. Vaccination is a straightforward, effective, and risk-free option for guarding against COVID-19. Governments of many countries have implemented strategies in managing hazards and vaccination recommendations for their citizens. Gavi’s COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) Advance Market Commitment [...]
Convenient efficiency: A media genealogy of QR codes
This article explains the widespread adoption of Quick Response (QR) codes from a media genealogy perspective. Understanding QR codes as more than the materiality of their machinic embodiments and rather as a method of systematically and repeatedly addressing emergent problems, I argue that the operative logic of QR code is that of convenient efficiency. Convenient efficiency captures three dynamics that drive QR codes’ ubiquity: the potentiality…
Dropping in, Helping Out: Social Support and Weak Ties on Traditional Medicine Social Networking Sites
This exploratory study analyses the network mechanisms with which Vietnamese traditional medical knowledge propagates on Facebook and explores patterns of social support provided by weak ties on these sites. The study employs a mixed-method multiple case study approach. Social network analysis is conducted on a sample of 6,293 original posts and 23,333 associated comments on two Vietnamese traditional medicine sites on Facebook, over three years.…
The Network Life of Non-biomedical Knowledge: Mapping Vietnamese Traditional Medicine Discourses on Facebook
Traditional medicine is hugely popular throughout Southeast Asia and other parts of the world. The development of the internet and online social networks in these contexts has enabled a significant proliferation of non-biomedical knowledge and practices via platforms such as Facebook. People use Facebook to advocate for non- biomedical alternatives to unaffordable biomedicine, share family medical recipes, discuss medicinal properties of indigeno…
The internet as non-biomedical milieu: Production of alternative health techno-social spaces and the persistence of marginalised medical practices
Can’t wait to feel better: Facebook Live and the recalibration of downtime in tending to the body
This article explores the temporality of liveness on Facebook Live through the analytical lens of downtime. Downtime is conceptualized here as multiscale: downtime exists in between the micro action and inaction of everyday life, but also in larger episodes of personal and health crises that reorient the body toward technologies for instantaneous replenishment of meaning and activity. Living through downtime with mobile technology enables the exp…
Mapping knowledge domains of non-biomedical modalities: A large-scale co-word analysis of literature 1987-2017
Social Marketing and Behaviour Change: Models, Theory and Applications
This book provides a concise overview of the behaviour change models that are relevant to social marketing in order to assist academics and practitioners in social marketing program development. The book features a review and analysis of the most validated models of behaviour change, together with a number of case studies from international researchers that illustrate these models in practice. The models covered include cognitive, conative, affec…
Make Lulz, Not War: How Online Remix and Meme Culture are Empowering Civic Engagement in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam
Although social media platforms have garnered much attention in recent years for their putative role in dramatic social and political movements around the world, scholars such as Clay Shirky and Ethan Zuckerman have suggested that the real potential of such tools for change exists in the way they empower citizens to publicly articulate and debate an array of conflicting views throughout society. In this view, social media matters most not in the …
