  • Social Media Disinformation, and Democracy in Asia: Country Cases
    In 2019, Asia Democracy Research Network (ADRN) selected social media and disinformation as the common challenge that continue to plague and hinder democracy in Asia. Against this background, ADRN published this special report to evaluate the current state of social media and the spread of disinformation in the region by studying the phenomenon and its impact within different countries in Asia, as well as their responses. The report investigates pressing, contemporary questions such as: Who are the major disinformation disseminators? What are the primary issue areas and who are the main targets? What are the effects of disinformation? What current legal and political efforts have been placed by governments, lawmakers, media and CSOs to combat against disinformation? What are the methods of disinformation applied towards different linguistic communities? How do public figures use their personal social media accounts to engage with the public? Drawing on a rich array of resources and data, This report offers country-specific analyses, highlights areas of improvement, and suggests policy recommendations for ensuring the protection of social media and online platforms from the spread of disinformation. “Social Media, Disinformation and Democracy in Asia: Country Cases” ISBN (electronic) 979-11-6617-054-6 95340 ISBN (print) 979-11-6617-055-3 93340 This report is part of the Asia Democracy Research Network (ADRN) products for 2019-2020.

  • Vaccine Hesitancy and the Cultural Politics of Trust in the Dengvaxia
    Forschungswerkstatt Research Workshop Vaccine Hesitancy and the Cultural Politics of Trust in the Dengvaxia Controversy: A Critical Discourse-Ethnographic Study of Online News Content, Producers, and Audiences Karl Patrick R. Mendozaa a University of Canterbury, New Zealand ► Mendoza, K. P. R. (2020). Vaccine hesitancy and the cultural politics of trust in the Dengvaxia contro- versy: A critical discourse-ethnographic study of online news content, producers, and audiences. Austrian Journal of South-East Asian Studies, 13(2), 267-274. Vaccine hesitancy refers to the delay in acceptance or refusal of vaccination despite vaccine availability. At its very core lies the problem of trust. Yet, there is very little research on the role of trust in vaccine hesitancy, particularly concerning its ideological dimension. This research aims to describe and explore how the online news discourse on the Dengvaxia vaccine controversy legitimizes a particular trust culture in Philippine society. For this purpose, the research adopts the theory of social trust propounded by the Polish sociologist Piotr Sztompka and links it to the study of news media using crit- ical discourse analysis. This research is an interdisciplinary project that adopts various concepts and lenses from sociology, linguistics, media studies, and public health. Keywords: Critical Discourse Analysis; Dengvaxia Controversy; Philippines; Trust; Vaccine Hesitancy INTRODUCTION doi 10.14764/10.ASEAS-0037 The Dengvaxia controversy is a public health controversy in the Philippines concerning the use of the Dengvaxia vaccine for dengue that was produced by the French pharmaceutical company, Sanofi Pasteur. After reports circulated alleging that several children had died because of the vaccine, the Philippines www.seas.at www.seas.at Department of Health (DOH) suspended the school-based vaccination program in late November, 2017.

  • Interaction Studies of Human Dead-Box Helicases with Viral Non-Coding Rna
    INTERACTION STUDIES OF HUMAN DEAD-BOX HELICASES WITH VIRAL NON-CODING RNA Corey Nelson Bachelor of Science, University of Lethbridge, 2019 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry University of Lethbridge LETHBRIDGE, ALBERTA, CANADA © Corey Nelson, 2021 INTERACTION STUDIES OF HUMAN DEAD-BOX HELICASES WITH VIRAL NON-CODING RNA COREY NELSON Date of Defense: April 23, 2021 Dr. T. Patel Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Supervisor Dr. A. Zovoilis Assistant Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. S. Wiseman Associate Professor Ph.D. Thesis Examination Committee Member Dr. J. Lemieux Professor Ph.D. External Examiner University of Alberta Edmonton, Alberta Dr. M. Gerken Professor Ph.D. Chair, Thesis Examination Committee Abstract Mosquito-borne illnesses are responsible for millions of deaths every year. Some of the most common diseases spread include Japanese Encephalitis, Zika, and Rift Valley Fever Virus. This thesis seeks to describe the interactions between the non-coding regions of the RNA genomes of the viruses above and DEAD-box RNA helicases DDX3X and DDX17. Microscale thermophoresis indicated that DDX3X binds the JEV 5’ RNA with a lower dissociation constant than the ZIKV 5’ but could unwind both RNAs. DDX17 binds both the intergenic non-coding and 5’ terminal RNAs from the S segment of the genome, also unwinding both. Small-angle X-ray scattering generated low-resolution 3D structures of DDX17 and the non-coding RNAs. Finally, using a baculovirus expression system has shown the potential to express full-length DDX3X but requires optimization before it is ready for downstream experimentation.
