Stakeholders’ support is essential for the effective and successful implementation of policies that prioritize enhancing preserving ocean coastal ecosystems. However, cross-national studies examining factors influencing stakeholders’ policy are still lacking. The current study aimed to provide preliminary evidence on (e.g., socio-demographic factors, country income levels, perceived impacts marine ecosystems) affect endorsement a centered To conduct study, we applied Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) dataset 709 stakeholders from 42 countries generated by MaCoBioS—a research project funded European Commission Horizon 2020.

Abstract A crucial hurdle to addressing climate change is science denial. While research suggests that denial related judgments individuals make about the credibility of information sources, less known how source and characteristics individual interact affect In present study, we examined extent which individuals' belief in claims trust sources these were influenced by interaction between political leaning (i.e., conservative media vs. liberal scientific institutions), ideologies, epistemic beliefs (beliefs nature knowledge knowing). We found both predicted interactions variables. For example, participants who believed facts are not politically constructed more likely believe regardless participant's partisanship. These findings suggest profiles associated with deference might protect against Therefore, cultivating such skills critically evaluate could be instrumental combating

Liver cancer is one of the malignant tumors worldwide, while prevention and control situation grim at present, diffusion its early screening technology still faces some challenges. This study aims to investigate influencing mechanism perceived ease use, organizational support mechanism, industry competitive pressure on hepatic technologies use by physicians, so as promote wider corresponding technologies.Under theoretical guidance technology-organization-environment framework mindsponge theory, this took contrast-enhanced ultrasound an example, conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire randomly selecting physicians from Fujian Jiangxi provinces in China with high low incidence liver cancer, respectively. Structural equation modeling was used determine correlation among pressure, well their impact physicians' behavior toward use.The hypothesis model fits data (χ2/df = 1.863, GFI 0.937, AGFI 0.908, RMSEA 0.054, NFI 0.959, IFI 0.980, CFI 0.980).

Objective To study extent to which is discussed articles YouTube videos English Italian, if related concepts are used support specific political or ideological narratives context of COVID-19. Methods In Italian we searched period 11/09/2019 11/09/2022 on YouTube, using software Mozdeh, mentioning one nine immunological concepts: antibody-dependent enhancement, anergy, cytokine storm, herd immunity, hygiene hypothesis, immunity debt, original antigenic sin, oxidative stress viral interference. We repeated this MediaCloud articles. Four samples 200 articles/videos were obtained from randomised data gathered analysed mentions concepts, stance vaccines, masks, lockdown, distancing, signifiers. Results Vaccine-negative information was higher than (8-fold English, 6-fold Italian) (4-fold news, 3-fold videos). also observed existence bubbles, where a negative towards intervention associated with other linked ideas. Some (immunity interference, anergy sin) anti-vaccine anti-NPI (non-pharmacological intervention) views.
