Exploring the dual perspectives of learners and markers on automated feedback systems in higher education: A technology acceptance model approach
The expansion of higher education has intensified the challenge of delivering high-quality feedback at scale. Although automated feedback systems promise efficiency and consistency, few studies examine how such systems are experienced by both students and markers or apply established theoretical frameworks to explain adoption. This study evaluates a semi-automated, human-augmented feedback system implemented in a large undergraduate Economics mod…
Antibiotic use in respiratory syncytial virus-positive children under two years: A prospective observational study at a tertiary hospital in Ghana
Introduction Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of lower respiratory tract infections in children, often leading to hospitalization in infants and vulnerable children. In low-resource settings where routine RSV diagnostics are unavailable, the overlap between clinical symptoms of RSV and those of bacterial pneumonia leads to unnecessary antibiotic use and contributes to the development of antimicrobial resistance. We conducted thi…
Holding Science to Account: A Qualitative Study of Practices and Challenges of Watchdog Science Journalism
This study examines how journalists act as “watchdogs” of science through 21 semi-structured interviews with journalists who have reported on research integrity issues. It illuminates the time- and labor-intensive nature of this form of journalism, which often requires multiple interviews and extensive document research to reach a sufficient threshold of evidence. As a result, the feasibility of potential stories sometimes plays a bigger role in …
The economic burden of respiratory syncytial virus and other acute respiratory infections among children <2 years old seeking care at a tertiary facility in Accra, Ghana
Background: The global burden of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disproportionately affects low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The World Health Organization's Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunisation recently recommended the global implementation of emerging RSV immunisation strategies to protect infants. Cost of illness data are needed to estimate the economic burden of RSV and evaluate the introduction of these immunisat…
Physical barriers in access to public reproductive healthcare services of women with physical disabilities in Vietnam
The Vietnamese government has made significant efforts to improve healthcare access for people with disabilities, as shown by signing the UNCRPD in 2007, ratifying it in 2015, and implementing the 2010 Disability Law to signal a commitment to the rights of people with disabilities. However, women with physical disabilities still encounter many obstacles. Physical barriers to accessing healthcare services for these women are underexplored. This pa…
Combating the Silent Othering in Dental Education, Dental Public Health, and Community Health Practice to Advance Health Equity
Without confronting the profound marginalization that othering permits across the oral health professions, efforts to improve oral health outcomes will fall short of their full potential in truly cultivating health equity

The interviews explored thei…
News coverage of scientific discoveries in Qatar: Low localization and its socio-institutional causes
The study analyzes 429 news articles from six local newspapers and interviews with 15 journalists and editors to assess the state of local science journalism in Qatar. Despite significant investments in scientific infrastructure, local science news has not kept pace, with most stories sourced from foreign agencies and lacking contextual relevance. This is due to a science-unfriendly news culture where local science is not seen as newsworthy for t…
Estimating the economic burden of respiratory syncytial virus infection among children <2 years old seeking care in North-West Nigeria
Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease burden is highest in low- and middle-income countries; yet data for costs of RSV-related illness in these settings are scarce. We estimated RSV costs of illness to inform decision-making for RSV preventive strategies in Nigeria. Methods: This prospective study assessed the costs of care per episode of (severe) acute respiratory infection during one RSV season (April to November 2023). Children…
Cost-effectiveness of introducing a maternal vaccine or long-acting monoclonal antibody to prevent infant respiratory syncytial virus disease in Nepal
Background: The World Health Organization recommends two passive immunisation strategies to prevent respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) disease in young infants. Both are being introduced in high-income settings, but their affordability and cost-effectiveness have not been evaluated in many low- and middle-income countries. Preliminary estimates of cost-effectiveness are needed to guide immunisation policy and planning in Nepal. Methods: We estimat…

The search was restricted to studies reporting outcomes of children 0-6 years. RESULTS: = 2). All included …
Identification of Sexual Behaviour of Feminist Men Who Have Sex with Woman in Indonesia
As a patriarchal country with dominant religious and cultural values, it is not easy to accept feminism in Indonesia. However, the idea has been growing and gaining acceptance in Indonesia for the past couple of years, influenced by media and technology. Feminism is not only embraced by women but also by men, which may affect men’s sexual behaviour with their partners. Therefore, we conducted a cross-sectional study with an online data survey by …

Fighting Against the Machine: Inside a Solutions Journalism Campaign in UK Local Newsrooms
There is growing momentum behind the solutions journalism (SOJO) movement, with news organizations across the world increasingly embedding news reporting practices on how people respond to social problems. Previous research suggests that SOJO has potential to reconfigure relationships between news audiences and journalists, while simultaneously opening new revenue streams. But what impediments might SOJO face in fast-paced and resource-poor newsr…

Journalism Between Science and Development—A Decolonised and Dewesternised Normative Framework
This special issue was initiated out of concern for a pressing situation: the interplay between science, journalism and development in the Global South – which occupies such a central part of the modernisation, industrialisation and globalisation of our contemporary world – has been left almost uncharted by scholars for too long. Even research into the general functions, practices and impacts of science journalism of the Global South remains an e…
The impacts of NGOs and SHGs on learning reproductive health information of Vietnamese women with physical disabilities
Researchers have drawn attention to people's perceptions of reproductive health in Vietnam. Disabled people in Vietnam have been shown to have particularly low awareness and knowledge of reproductive health, in particular, women with disabilities have varied reproductive health knowledge because some of them have access to better reproductive health information than others. In this situation, non-government organizations (NGOs) and self-help grou…
Comprehensive Pharmacist-led Transitions-of-care Medication Management around Hospital Discharge Adds Modest Cost Relative to Usual Care: Time-and-Motion Cost Analysis
Optimal medication management is important during hospitalization and at discharge because post-discharge adverse drug events (ADEs) are common, often preventable, and contribute to patient harms, healthcare utilization, and costs. Conduct a cost analysis of a comprehensive pharmacist-led transitions-of-care medication management intervention for older adults during and after hospital discharge. Twelve intervention components addressed medication…
Measurement of self-reported, facility-based labour and birth experiences: The Perinatal Experience Assessment Tool (Peat)
Background: Women and their families make decisions on accessing perinatal care based on their experiences in the health care system and on the experience of others around them. Receiving supportive maternity care which demonstrates respect is an essential part of quality care. Globally, and in low- and middle-income countries in particular, women report receiving mistreatment and a lack of respect during labour, childbirth and the early postnata…
News sources and emotional responses to Covid-19 news: Findings from U.K. news users
Existing research has begun to document some of the troubling links between COVID-19 news consumption and emotional and psychological well-being, but precisely which sources of news are more likely to be related to such phenomena is still relatively unknown. Given the greater likelihood of encountering disinformation, rumour and other content of dubious origin via interpersonal networks (e.g., friends and family) on social media, we might assume …
The Psychological Empowerment Potential of Solutions Journalism: Perspectives from Pandemic News Users in the UK
Traditional problem-focussed news often cast audiences in passive and reactive ways, which can disempower them from participating in civic life. With influences from positive psychology, solutions journalism (SOJO) is proposed as a way to improve audiences’ mental wellbeing and engagement with the news. However, research seldom systematically examines how SOJO psychologically empowers audiences, leaving a gap for a more thorough understanding of …
The up-down-up pandemic news experience: A mixed-method approach to its negative and positive effects on psychological wellbeing
Existing research has documented the dynamics of increased news consumption alongside – paradoxically – increased news avoidance during the Covid-19 pandemic, highlighting its adverse effects on mental health and emotional wellbeing. However, for methodological and theoretical reasons, research still lacks specifics on what types of negative psychological responses were directly triggered by pandemic news, how prevalent they were in the populatio…
Facing “The Fabulous Monster: The traditional media's fear-driven innovation culture in the development of online news
This paper presents a critical review of the evolution of online news since the 1990s, mapping its development into two stages that are driven by the same factor: the fear-driven defensive innovation culture among traditional media. Being threatened by the penetration of the Internet, traditional media hastily established their online presence in the 1990s but then, under the many uncertainties resulting from this rush online and the urge to defe…
The state of data and statistics in journalism and journalism education: Issues and debates
This paper discusses journalists’ vast misunderstanding, underestimation and ignorance of the nature of statistics and their role in shaping the public’s daily work and life. In countering what the authors see as the most common myths about numbers and the news, it aims to set the scene for the key issues and debates that this special issue covers. At the centre of this discussion are three key points: (a) statistics are not distant from the news…
The Effect of Soft News on Public Attachment to the News: Is “infotainment” good for democracy?
Data from a national Australian survey provide little evidence of a significant effect for the taste for soft news on news attachment among the general public as well as the six common sex-by-age targeted market segments of the news industry. This contradicts recent arguments that soft news is necessary to democratic life because, in an age of media proliferation and audience fragmentation, it keeps attention-scarce people with the news
Harnessing the potential of online news: Suggestions from a study on the relationship between online news advantages and its post-adoption consequences
Using data from a national survey, this article explores the relationship between nine common socio-technical advantages of online news and how it is used and alters existing news use habits. The article finds that apart from the ability to ‘have my say to the news media’, all the other attributes — no cost, multitasking, more news choices, in-depth and background information, 24/7 updates, customization, ability to discuss news with peers, and t…

The interaction between technologies and society: Lessons learned from 160 evolutionary years of online news services
In mapping the evolutionary process of online news and the socio-cultural factors determining this development, this paper has a dual purpose. First, in reworking the definition of “online communication”, it argues that despite its seemingly sudden emergence in the 1990s, the history of online news started right in the early days of the telegraphs and spread throughout the development of the telephone and the fax machine before becoming computer-…

The digital divide versus the ‘digital delay’: Implications from a forecasting model of online news adoption and use
As the Internet becomes increasingly cheap to access and easy to use, some scholars and industrial figures have argued that the digital divide – the information and democratic gap between different socio-economic segments of societies – will by itself shrink over time and eventually disappear. This paper will employ a forecasting model of online news adoption and use, to argue that, even if the Internet becomes accessible and easy for virtually e…

New perspectives on citizen journalism
In the aftermath of the South Asian tsunami of 26 December 2004, the term ‘citizen journalism’ swiftly gained currency with global news organisations finding themselves in the difficult position of being largely dependent on ‘amateur’ photographs, video footage and eyewitness accounts to tell the story of what was transpiring on the ground in the most severely affected areas. Despite its ambiguities, the term was widely perceived to capture the c…
Science journalism for development in the Global South: A systematic literature review of issues and challenges
Based primarily on a systematic review of the relevant literature between 2000 and 2017, this article reflects on the state of journalism about science in developing countries, with a focus on its issues, challenges and implications for their developmental processes and causes. Five major themes emerge from our analysis: (a) heavy dependence on foreign sources, especially the media of the Global North; (b) the low status of domestic science news …
Testing popular news discourse on the “echo chamber” effect: Does political polarisation occur among those relying on social media as their primary politics news source
Since 2016, online social networks (OSNs), especially their “big data” algorithms, have been intensively blamed in popular news discourse for acting as echo chambers. These chambers entrap like-minded voters in closed ideological circles that cause serious damage to democratic processes. This study examines this “echo chamber” argument through the rather divisive case of EU politics among EU citizens. Based on an exploratory secondary analysis of…
Covid-19 Misinformation and the Social (Media) Amplification of Risk: A Vietnamese Perspective
The amplification of Coronavirus risk on social media sees Vietnam falling volatile to a chaotic sphere of mis/disinformation and incivility, which instigates a movement to counter its effects on public anxiety and fear. Benign or malign, these civil forces generate a huge public pressure to keep the one-party system on toes, forcing it to be unusually transparent in responding to public concerns
Digital Mis/Disinformation and Public Engagment with Health and Science Controversies: Fresh Perspectives from Covid-19
Digital media, while opening a vast array of avenues for lay people to effectively engage with news, information and debates about important science and health issues, have become a fertile land for various stakeholders to spread misinformation and disinformation, stimulate uncivil discussions and engender ill-informed, dangerous public decisions. Recent developments of the Covid-19 infodemic might just be the tipping point of a process that has …
Measurement of self-reported, facility-based labour and birth experiences: The Perinatal Experience Assessment Tool (Peat)
Background: Women and their families make decisions on accessing perinatal care based on their experiences in the health care system and on the experience of others around them.
