“…Such a higher perceived risk may lead academics to seek COVID-19 information. Similarly, the association of greater knowledge with a higher number of COVID-19 cases per million population may be attributed to greater exposure to media information about the disease as it assumes greater relevance per country (28,29). The relationship between risk perception and knowledge should be explored in future studies.…”

Background: COVID-19 is a global pandemic affecting all aspects of life in all countries. We assessed COVID-19 knowledge and associated factors among dental academics in various countries. Method: We invited dental academics to participate in a cross-sectional, multi-country, online survey from March to April 2020. The survey assessed knowledge of COVID-19 regarding the mode of transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, protection, and dental treatment precautions as well as participants’ background variables. The analysis was based on multilevel linear models to assess the association between knowledge and factors at individual levels (personal and professional) and country-level (number of COVID-19 cases/ million population), accounting for random variation among countries. Results: Two thousand forty-five academics from 26 countries participated in the survey (response rate= 14.3%, with 54.7% female and 67% younger than 46 years of age). The mean (SD) knowledge percent score was 73.2% (11.2), and the knowledge of symptoms score was significantly lower than the diagnostic methods score (53.1% and 85.4%). Knowledge was significantly higher among those living with partner/spouse than those living alone (regression coefficient (B)= 0.48); those with PhD than those with BDS (B= 0.48), those seeing 21 to 30 patients daily than those seeing no patients (B= 0.65) and those from countries with a higher number of COVID-19 cases/million population (B= 0.0007). Conclusions: Dental academics had poorer knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms than diagnostic methods. Living arrangements, academic degrees, patient load, and magnitude of epidemic in the country were associated with COVD-19 knowledge among dental academics. COVID-19 training can be designed using these factors to target academics with the greatest need.

“…A higher perception of risk may lead academics to seek COVID-19 information, which may explain why dental academics in countries with a higher number of COVID-19 cases per million population had better knowledge of COVID-19; likely, there was motivation to know more since their perception of the risk of contracting infection was higher. Their better knowledge may also be attributed to greater exposure to media information about COVID-19 (30,31). The relationship between COVID-19 risk perception and knowledge should be explored in future studies.…”

Conclusions: Dental academics had poorer knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms than of COVID-19 diagnostic methods. Living arrangements, academic degrees, patient load, and magnitude of the epidemic in the country were associated with COVD-19 knowledge among dental academics. Training of dental academics on COVID-19 can be designed using these findings to recruit those with the greatest need.

“…Trans-cultural interactions are visible through social media due to the fact that it's simply convenient to exist through that medium. Most of these communication processes across and between cultures are experienced by individuals belonging at the same time to different societal groups and cultural segments and having in today's complex society multifaceted forms of hybrid identities, bonding to their own cultural background, and at the same time bridging between cultures (Bonfadelli 2016).…”

Unfair & Not So Lovely: Exploring the Darker Side of Globalization, the Media & Indian Beauty Standards

<p>As the world continues to be more global and accessible, ideologies, values and thoughts can easily be transferred to different parts of the world. This is particularly done through the media and other related mediums. The concept of beauty is greatly influenced by the media and the media impacts a society greatly especially if a specific set of standards are deemed as “beautiful”. As the media utilizes different mediums to showcase the “ideal” standards of beauty for Indian women, we began to see a problem arise for those who don’t “fit” the standards. This paper seeks to examine what influence this globalization through media has on its audience and in particular, on their perspective of beauty. Additionally, through the use of an auto ethnographic lense, this paper deconstructs topics such as identity formation, culture and beauty. </p>
