News Coverage of Athlete Activism
No full textThis multi-method qualitative research project sets out to understand the cultural and political influences on sports news coverage, specifically sports news of athletes' activism on and off the field. The purpose is to understand how sports journalists cover athlete activism within the larger political and cultural landscape of the era in which the athlete activism took place. Specifically, this research project employed the Hierarchy of Influences theory to analyze the cultural and political influences on news coverage of arguably six of the most significant instances of athlete activism in the U.S. sports stratosphere namely: Muhammad Ali's boycott of the Vietnam War, Tommie Smith's Black Power Salute, Billie Jean King's establishment of Women's Tennis and her participation in the Battle of Sexes, Venus William's efforts for equal prize money at the Wimbledon, Lebron James Tweets in the support of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner and Colin Kaepernick sitting out the national anthem. The author first conducted a first cycle of textual analysis of news articles and Television broadcasts (in the case of some athletes) that reported the activism of Muhammad Ali, Tommie Smith, Billie Jean King, Venus Williams, Lebron James and Colin Kaepernick. Secondly, the author conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews of sports journalists who have extensively published about athlete activism. Insights from the qualitative interviews guided the second round of textual analysis coding. To summarize, the analysis of sports news coverage of athlete activism demonstrated that cultural and political influences on news content are decipherable even without a comparative examination of different nations or different cultural or political systems. For example, Lebron James was portrayed as an advocate for racial justice because he played by the cultural and political rules of the time and did not disrupt the cultural norms. However, Colin Kaepernick's protest was defined as illegitimate or debated as illegitimate until it became acceptable.</p

From Candidate to President: How DW Covered Donald Trump before and after 2016 US Presidential Elections
No full textDie Grundlagen der westlichen Demokratie bauen auf dem freien Informationsfluss auf, und Medienorganisationen spielen in dieser Hinsicht eine entscheidende Rolle, da Bürger rund um den Globus sich auf Nachrichtenmedien verlassen, um Informationen zu erhalten. Die Deutsche Welle ist eine renommierte, von der Bundesregierung öffentlich geförderte internationale Medienorganisation, die Inhalte in 30 Sprachen produziert und weltweit schätzungsweise mehr als 135 Millionen Zuschauer zählt (Deutsche Welle, 2017). Parallel dazu werden die Vereinigten Staaten oft als Führer der freien Welt und einzige verbliebene Supermacht der Welt bezeichnet. Da die Präsidentschaftswahlen in den USA nicht über die Wahrheit debattieren, werden sie von einem globalen Publikum wegen ihrer politischen, sozialen, wirtschaftlichen und kulturellen Implikationen für die Welt abgedeckt und verfolgt.
Ein wichtiger Weg, auf dem Nachrichtenmedien ihr Publikum beeinflussen können, besteht darin, Ereignisse und Nachrichten auf spezifische Weise zu gestalten. Rahmung ist eine der wichtigsten Theorien des Journalismus in Bezug auf die Art und Weise, in der die gegenwärtige Information der Journalisten und die Art und Weise der von Journalisten verwendeten Frames von der journalistischen Ideologie ihrer Mutterorganisation beeinflusst wird. Ziel dieser Studie ist es daher, die von der Deutschen Welle für die Berichterstattung des US-Präsidenten Donald Trump vor und nach den Wahlen verwendeten Frames durch quantitative Inhaltsanalyse mit induktiven und deduktiven Methoden zu einem Codebuch zu messen. Die Hauptforschungsfrage dieser Studie ist
RQ: Wie hat die Deutsche Welle die Berichterstattung von Donald Trump vor und nach den US-Präsidentschaftswahlen gestaltet?
Als Medienbeispiel diente die Nachrichtenwebsite der Deutschen Welle, die Inhalte in mehr als zehn Sprachen anbietet. In einem Zeitraum von zwei Jahren wurden 2910 Artikel analysiert, die dem gesamten Wahlzyklus 2016 in den USA und dem ersten Jahr der Präsidentschaft Donald Trumps einschließlich wichtiger Ereignisse wie dem G7-Gipfel in Hamburg entsprachen. Die Analyse wurde mithilfe der Hierarchischen Clusteranalyse mit der Ward- und der Centroid-Methode durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich das Coverage-Muster von Duetsche Welle geändert hat, bevor Donald Trump zum primären Republikanischen Kandidaten gewählt wurde und nachdem er 2016 US-Präsident wurde.
Diese Forschungsstudie zeigt die Notwendigkeit einer weiteren Untersuchung der Berichterstattung über ausländische Wahlen unter Verwendung klassischer Medien und politischer Kommunikationstheorien wie der Personalisierungstheorie. Es wird vorhergesagt, dass Personalisierungseffekte ähnliche Ergebnisse erzielen werden wie Framing-Effekte in diesem Fall, da DW sich auf Donald Trumps Persönlichkeit konzentrierte, bevor er Präsident eines Verbündetenlandes wurde, aber seine politischen Entscheidungen nur einmal in einer Führungsposition berücksichtigte.The foundations of western democracy are built on free flow of information and media organizations play a critical role in this regard since citizens around the globe rely on news media for information. Deutsche Welle is a renowned international media organization publicly funded by German government which produces content in 30 languages and has an estimated audience of more than 135 million weekly worldwide (Deutsche Welle, 2017). Parallel to this, United States is often termed as leader of the free world and world’s sole remaining superpower. Not debating the truth in these claims, United States presidential elections are covered and followed by a global audience because of political, social, economic and cultural implications they hold for the world.
One significant way in which news media can influence its audience is by framing events and news in specific ways. Framing is one of the major theories of journalism concerning with the way journalists’ present information and the type and manner of frames employed by journalists is affected by their parent organization’s journalistic ideology. Thus, this study aims to measure the frames used by Deutsche Welle for the coverage of US president Donald Trump before and after the elections through quantitative content analysis with both inductive and deductive methods to form a codebook. The main research question of this study is
RQ: How did the Deutsche Welle frame the coverage of Donald Trump before and after US presidential elections?
Media sample used was Deutsche Welle’s news website which offers content in more than ten languages. 2910 articles were analysed through a period of two years, corresponding to the full US 2016 election cycle and Donald Trump’s first year of presidency including key events such as G-7 summit in Hamburg. The analysis was done using Hierarchical Cluster Analysis using Ward’s and Centroid method. Results indicate that coverage patterns of Duetsche Welle changed before Donald Trump was selected as primary Republican Nominee and after he became US President in 2016.
This research study shows the need for further inquiry into coverage of foreign elections using classic media and political communication theories such as personalization theory. Personalization effects are predicted to show similar results as framing effects in this case since DW focused on Donald Trump’s personality before he became a president of an ally country but chose to only regard his policy decisions once he was in a leadership position
Investigation on the Corrosion Inhibition of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis Bark Extract on Mild Steel in Nitric Acid Medium
No full textAbstract: The inhibitory effects of Eucalyptus camaldulensis bark extract on the corrosion of mild steel in a nitric acid medium were investigated through weight loss measurement. Eucalyptus camaldulensis, commonly referred to as the river red gum, is a flowering plant species of the Myrtaceae family. The research found that the bark extract had the highest efficiency at a concentration of 0.8g/l and a temperature of 303K, with a 59.34% inhibition rate. The study also showed that the inhibition rate increased with higher concentrations of the inhibitor but decreased with higher temperatures, suggesting that physical adsorption mechanisms were involved.
Keywords: Corrosion inhibitor, Eucalyptus camaldulensis, Inhibition efficiency, Mild steel, Nitric acid medium and Weight loss measurement.

An analytical study of the theatre of the Syrian playwright Saadallah Wannous, with particular emphasis on the plays written after the 1967 war
No full textThis study is an examination of the life and work of
the Syrian dramatist Saadallah Wannous (1941-1997). Wannous's name is virtually unknown in the West; only two academic studies of any significance have appeared in English on this eminent and challenging writer, who was honoured by UNESCO at the end of his life. Even in the Arab world his standing rests largely upon his celebrity as a cultural icon, since professional performances of his plays are rare due to the decline of the theatre in the region, and little attention has been devoted to theatre studies by Arab academics. The two studies in English do not attempt to be comprehensive but focus on particular stages of Wannous's career. This study is, therefore, the first to encompass the full range of Wannous's work. To do so it combines an account of his life which seeks to comprehend the various forces that shaped his thinking with an analysis of his dramatic works. The study concentrates on the plays written in the years following the trauma inflicted on the Arab world by the catastrophe of their
defeat in the Arab-Israeli war of June, 1967. Wannous's career can be divided into three phases: the immature plays of his young manhood which are influenced by European models and generally focus on the social condition of the individual; his middle period - the `theatre of politicisation', when his Marxist politics were the main
factor shaping his drama; and his late works, which are characterised by an extraordinary freedom of thought and expression. The introduction places Wannous in his historical and sociocultural context and provides a brief background explaining the literary and theatrical traditions of the Arab world that influenced his activity as a dramatist. Each phase is then examined in turn and the plays are analysed in accordance with the focus of the study. This means that emphasis is given to the middle period,
but no significant work is neglected. The study aims to trace the trajectory of Wannous's development using a
variety of sources: the plays themselves, Wannous's own journalism and critical writings, interviews with his widow, his friends and colleagues, and numerous
journals, books and articles, some of which contain
important interviews with Wannous that shed light on his thought and ways of working. Use is also made of the
two studies mentioned above. The study shows that Wannous's theatre was influenced by the key political, social and cultural developments of his time, and that he
constantly sought to find forms that would express those transformations in dramatic terms
Label-free electrochemical aptasensor for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein based on carbon cloth sputtered gold nanoparticles
No full textThe proliferation and transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), or the (COVID-19) disease, has become a threat to worldwide biosecurity. Therefore, early diagnosis of COVID-19 is crucial to combat the ongoing infection spread. In this study we propose a flexible aptamer-based electrochemical sensor for the rapid, label-free detection of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (SP). A platform made of a porous and flexible carbon cloth, coated with gold nanoparticles, to increase the conductivity and electrochemical performance of the material, was assembled with a thiol functionalized DNA aptamer via S–Au bonds, for the selective recognition of the SARS-CoV-2 SP. The various steps for the sensor preparation were followed by using scanning electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). The proposed platform displayed good mechanical stability, revealing negligible changes on voltammetric responses to bending at various angles. Quantification of SARS-CoV-2 SP was performed by DPV and chronopotentiometry (CP), exploiting the changes of the electrical signals due the [Fe(CN)6]3-/4- redox probe, when SARS-CoV-2 SP binds to the aptamer immobilized on the electrode surface. Current density, in DPV, and square root of the transition time, in CP, varied linearly with the log[ SARS-CoV-2 SP], providing lower limits of detection (LOD) of 0.11 ng/mL and 37.8 ng/mL, respectively. The sensor displayed good selectivity, repeatability, and was tested in diluted human saliva, spiked with different SARS-CoV-2 SP concentrations, providing LODs of 0.167 ng/mL and 46.2 ng/mL for DPV and CP, respectively

Indeed, the Photovoltaic generator is associated to a DC/DC converter for tracking the maximum Power from the PV panels. To ensure a continuous supply of the remote areas, storage systems presented by batteries and ultra-capacitor should be included in parallel to the photovoltaic generator. The Batteries-based storage system is used in the stay state. It is coupled to a bidirectional DC/DC converter to regulate the DC bus link and control the batteries state of charge (SOC). However, the ultra-capacitor-based storage system is used in the transitional regime to provide energy against sudden load fluctuations and protect batteries pack. Moreover, to ensure an AC supply in the hybrid system, a three-phase power inverter is connected to the DC bus link voltage given by the storage systems. For this, the AC output is controlled by a resonant proportional regulator. In this context, intensive simulations are carried-out prove the effectiveness of Hybrid Micro-grid
Antioxidant Activity of Fresh Water Algae (Lyngbya kützingii and Microspora tumidula) From a Village in Kasur
No full textAbstract: Free radicals interfere with the equilibrium of cells and tissues, which can lead to cancer. Fresh water algae such as Microspora tumidula and Lyngbya kützingii is a great source of secondary antioxidant metabolites. These metabolites most likely work well in the therapy of cancer. Algae exhibit huge variety of pigments not only chlorophyll, Carotenoids, phycobilins, and xanthophylls are the most prevalent of these. In the beginning, the medicinal effect of microalgae biomass was studied when it was used as pills, powder, and water additives. More and more studies in recent years have focused on finding and using useful medicinal components in algae. Aim of this study to evaluate the antioxidant role of algae in pharmaceutical industries. In the current investigation, the algal extracts were prepared by using three solvents methanol, chloroform and n-hexane to know about antioxidant potential of algae of specific area. To evaluate the antioxidant activity different test were performed such as DPPH, TAA, TPC, FRAP and MC. In Microspora tumidula 15.16% DPPH highest value was shown by methanolic extract. In FRAP Lyngbya kützingii showed maximum value in methanolic extract 64 µM Trolox mg-1. While the highest value of TPC by Lyngbya kützingii was shown in chloroform extracts 37.5µg GAE /mg. The results of total antioxidant activity (TAA) were showed that Lyngbya kützingii and Microspora tumidula both exhibited the highest value 154mg /g and 152mg/g respectively in methanolic extract. The result of metal chelating test showed highest value in chloroform extract 10.44% by Lyngbya kützingii. So both these algal species showed antioxidant potential.
Keywords: Antioxidant potential, pharmaceutical industries, Evaluation, secondary metabolites, Cancer, Solvents extract.
