The Distance between the 'Self' and the 'Other' in Children's Digital Books

This conceptual paper contributes towards our understanding of the underlying mechanisms in children’s understanding of self and the other with media. We synthesise diverse bodies of literature, concerned with children’s reading with digital and traditional (print) books, to explicate the parameters that may, in part, explain positive learning outcomes and further illuminate the patterns across various measures. We propose the “Distance Model”, which suggests that a child’s interest in a reading activity depends on its proximity to the child’s funds of identity (Esteban-Guitart & Moll, 2014). The closer the proximity, the more salient the impact on the child’s cognitive understanding and sense of belonging. The familiarity of the reading content and the relevance of the reading medium for a child’s personal life can be evoked through a number of reading strategies and design techniques, which we discuss in relation to children’s literature and the contemporary design of children’s interactive e-books. We conclude with some suggestions regarding future applications of the Distance Model in children’s media research

The challenges posed by equine arboviruses

Equine populations worldwide are at increasing risk of infection by viruses transmitted by biting arthropods including mosquitoes, biting midges (Culicoides), sandflies and ticks. These include the flaviviruses (Japanese encephalitis, West Nile and Murray Valley encephalitis), alphaviruses (eastern, western and Venezuelan encephalitis) and the orbiviruses (African horse sickness and equine encephalosis). This review provides an overview of the challenges faced in the surveillance, prevention and control of the major equine arboviruses, particularly in the context of these viruses emerging in new regions of the world

Seeing Fine Substances Strangely: Phenomenology in Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons

Gertrude Stein may be regarded as one of the most innovative and obscure modernist writers. At the core of Tender Buttons (1914), her most experimental work, lies a dialectical tension between meaning and non-meaning, order and disorder, the opacity of which some of the earliest critical studies of Stein described as both "an eloquent mistake" and "the ravings of a lunatic," resisting interpretation. In this paper, I show that phenomenology offers an appropriate tool for opening up the much-discussed dialectic of this work. By "bracketing" the hard facts for our object-world, Stein enacts an epoche of sorts, allowing us to "see fine substances strangely" before the conventional structures of objectivity and factuality take over
