Focus Group-Led Refinement of an LLM-Enabled Companion Robot for Older People
Loneliness in later life is a public‐health concern, and large language model (LLM)-enabled conversational robots have potential to supplement social connection at scale by facilitating everyday conversations. However, evidence on the development and acceptability of such systems for older people remains scarce. We conducted a two‐round mixed methods study with older community‐dwelling participants, to test whether pipeline refinements—streaming …
Cursed Russians and Armed Saints
The full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia has generated a surge of “angry folklore,” namely, cultural expressions imparted with themes of hostility, rage, and aggression. Some of this expression fits the established definitions of “hate speech,” thus raising ethical questions about the performance, perception, and documentation of this folklore. The present study explores these questions from the positions of predominantly US-based English spe…

Manufacturing Populism
This article shows that digital technologies can play an outsized role in populist discourse because the imagined “voice of the people” gains its authority through the appearance of continuities and consistencies across many iterative communication events. Those iterations create an observable aggregate volition which is the basis of vernacular authority. Digital technologies give institutions the ability to generate those iterative communication…
Covid-19 Deaths in the United States
The geographic areas most impacted by COVID-19 may not remain static because public health measures/behaviors change dynamically, and the impacts of pandemic vulnerability also may vary geographically and temporally. The nature of the pandemic makes spatiotemporal methods essential to understanding the distribution of COVID-19 deaths and developing interventions. This study examines the spatiotemporal trends in COVID-19 death rates in the United …

Digital Jesus
In the 1990s, Marilyn Agee developed one of the most well-known amateur evangelical websites focused on the “End Times,” The Bible Prophecy Corner. Around the same time, Lambert Dolphin, a retired Stanford physicist, started the website Lambert's Library to discuss with others online how to experience the divine. While Marilyn and Lambert did not initially correspond directly, they have shared several correspondents in common. Even as early as 19…

Rhetoric and Ethics Revisited
As rhetorical scholars adopt field methods to complement traditional text-based criticism, it is necessary to reflect on the ethical standards that guide our practice of rhetorical criticism and analysis. In this essay, we highlight five points of ethical tension provoked when doing research that moves between texts and fields: responsibility, truth, power, relationships, and representation. Each section illustrates an ethical dilemma from the au…
Introduction
Setting the stage for the articles that follow, this introduction briefly makes the argument that individual expression can be empowered by network communication but not without accepting the influence of institutions because institutions have created specific media technologies that define the grounds upon which vernacular expression can emerge there. Using the online manifestations of a 1978 commercial music recording as an example, I argue tha…

Antimycobacterial evaluation of fifteen medicinal plants in South Africa
Fifteen plant species were collected from the Nelspruit Botanical Garden based on a list of plants provided by Phytomedicine Programme at the University of Pretoria and their ethnopharmacological information. Hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), acetone and methanolic extracts were screened for antimycobacterial activity against Mycobacterium smegmatis. The acetone extract of Milletia stulhimannii was the most active, showing activity against Mycobacte…
Enacting a virtual ‘ekklesia’
Based on the interactive features of websites, researchers have distinguished between ‘religion online’ and ‘online religion’.Approaching online religious expression as ‘vernacular religion’ can transcend the distinction by focussing on the lived experience of believers. In this study, qualitative interviews and close textual analysis are deployed to locate four traits that define the ‘vernacular ideology of Christian fundamentalism’. Tracing the…
The Vernacular Web of Participatory Media
From wikis to blogs, new participatory forms of web-based communication are increasingly common ways for institutions and individuals to communicate. The content these forms produce incorporates elements of both institutional and non-institutional discourse. More than a syncretic pastiche, this content is the product of hybrid agencies made possible by these new forms. Terming this content “vernacular” acknowledges that this hybridity frustrates …
Additional Dendrochronology Dates from Nottingham Tree-Ring Dating Laboratory
The University of Nottingham Tree-Ring Dating Laboratory (now the Nottingham Tree-Ring Dating Laboratory) has been undertaking dendrochronological analysis on buildings since the 1970s. In the majority of cases we have published our results. However, for various reasons, a number of the sites dated by the Laboratory were not published in Vernacular Architecture at the time and it is now felt appropriate to publish these. A summary of these dated …
Electronic Hybridity
Through the example of a specific blog, this article locates a category of online discourse termed the "vernacular web." Because the definitive trait of the vernacular is its distinction from the institutional, the vernacular web emerges in specific network locations as a communal invocation of alternate authority. Imagining those invocations as located communication processes, the concept of a vernacular web provides the theoretical language nec…
Toward a Theory of the World Wide Web Vernacular
This article demonstrates that a "Worldwide Web vernacular" has now emerged. The vanity or "home" page in general and the "pet vanity page" in particular exist as recognizable emic genres. The distinguishing features of these genres are in their personal content. However, as a result of the technologies that arose to satisfy growing commercial interests in Web-based communication during the 1990s, that content has come to be associated with parti…
A Theory of Vernacular Rhetoric
This paper seeks to rigorously define and illustrate the analytic category of “vernacular rhetoric” through an examination of the “Sinner's Prayer” as it appears on an amateur web page. In the online environment, this invitation to a traditional prayer performance seems to be a strategy for converting non-Christians. Through the application of the concept of vernacular rhetoric, however, it becomes clear that the deployment of the prayer can also…

Apocalypse in Your In-Box
Apocalypse in your In-Box: End-Times Communication on the Internet 1 In the 1990s, there has been quite a bit of media attention paid to radical Christian fundamentalists-the image of gun-toting, communal-living, child-molesting terrorists might come to mind. This image is really only an update. Historically, apocalyptic Christians have been portrayed with wild eyes. Even in the 1970 revision of his 1957 classic The Pursuit of the Millennium, Nor…

Technological Change as a Social Process
As new computer technology moves into more and more workplaces, the study of its potential impacts on workers and their work is becoming increasingly common. However, such research is often weakened by a too‐narrow conception of technology and technological change as primarily a technical issue. In fact, it is impossible to abstract the “impacts” of technology from the dense web of social relations and the complex milieu surrounding technology's …

Movement‐Related effects in fMRI time‐series
This paper concerns the spatial and intensity transformations that are required to adjust for the confounding effects of subject movement during functional MRI (fMRI) activation studies. An approach is presented that models, and removes, movement‐related artifacts from fMRI time‐series. This approach is predicated on the observation that movement‐related effects are extant even after perfect realignment. Movement‐related effects can be divided in…

A Doomsday Reader
The approach of the year 2000 has made the study of apocalyptic movements trendy. But groups anticipating the end of the world will continue to predict Armageddon even after the calendar clicks to triple 0s. A Doomsday Reader brings together pronouncements, edicts, and scriptures written by prominent apocalyptic movements from a wide range of traditions and ideologies to offer an exceptional look into their belief systems.
