... Different studies have also examined gender and public office, with policy decision impacting society (Bauer et al., 2020;Castillo & Berdasco-Gancedo, 2020;Küppers, 2020;Schwartz & Blair, 2020;Sundström & Stockemer, 2021). A micropower study of female leadership caused an effective change in situations that benefited the citizenry during the COVID-19 period (Nunes, 2021). ...
... Another survey of female and male executives showed that female leaders exhibit a management style that uses interpersonal approaches alien to the male counterpart (Kolpakov & Boyer, 2021). Also, female leaders can exercise masculinity in decision-making, as examined from Theresa May and the Spanish media perspective (Castillo & Berdasco-Gancedo, 2020 Previous studies have examined the early response to COVID-19 by European countries, and it suggested that the strategies distancing, contact testing, and tracing contributes to the management of the pandemic (Goniewicz et al., 2020). Similarly, the authors of a study, using the first-quarter data of the pandemic and descriptive statistics, argued that countries with female leaders are better managers of COVID-19 than their male counterparts. ...
This empirical study examines female and male global leaders in the European Union and COVID-19 management in the context of crisis management. This study contributes to the body of knowledge of gender and politics. The study used a sample of 9509 daily (330 monthly) observations between January 2020 and December 2020 inclusive. The study applied multivariate regression to analyse data. The research shows that 20.9% of Europe's countries have female prime ministers, and 79.1% are male prime ministers. There is a strong and positive correlation between pandemic cases and the number of death. Also, there is a weak and negative correlation between pandemic variable (cases and death) and the human development index (HDI). Our findings show that female global leaders negatively and statistically significantly associate with COVID-19 pandemic cases. Similarly, we find also that female global leaders have a negative and statistically significant association with pandemic death. It is suggested that women have more communal traits than men and therefore have concern for people, which is a vital trait for crises management like COVID-19. The results are robust after controlling for endogeneity. This study's implication advises women to stand for public office positions. Women have intuitions and inner characteristics, which is in line with paternalistic leadership style and nurturing characteristics that bring caution in decision-making, especially in times of crisis (a case study of COVID-19 pandemic).
... As a compound course developed for many years, the rise of digital media art education course also presents a grand occasion with the development of information technology. Digital image art, network art, 4D digital art, virtual reality, etc., are becoming more and more diverse [16]. From graphic design to three-dimensional design, from interface to content, it is a comprehensive form of artistic expression, including creative thinking, art appreciation, art criticism, and practical operation ability. ...
Research Purposes. The performance characteristics of traditional digital media art have been gradually accepted by people, which is not innovative enough for people, so this paper mainly studies the design performance characteristics of a new digital media art design relying on computer technology. Research Method. This paper analyzes the concept and characteristics of digital media art based on the relevant theory of computer, combined with computer-aided technology and IRT theory. This paper finally designs the digital media art form based on computer technology. This paper also designs the USB trace feature extraction experiment, computer technology development investigation, and experimental test, and finally optimizes by analyzing the data obtained from the experiment. In order to verify the difference between the representation designed in this paper and the traditional representation, this paper also designs a set of control experiments. Research Result. The results show that the expression of artistic creation based on the digital media art expression designed in this paper is 14.12% higher than that of the traditional artistic expression. However, the innovative effect of the artistic creation based on the digital media art expression designed in this paper is 20.27% higher than that of the traditional expression.

With the development of the economy, graphic design has become one of the main forms of commercial advertising. Designers design different graphic design schemes for different layouts and design requirements, which puts forward new requirements for graphic design process work. With the advancement of technology, graphic design (or visual communication design) supported by digital media technology is not limited to print media, and network media is also included. This research mainly discusses the visual space system in digital media art design. It can be said that the reconstructed space under virtual reality is based on interaction, has an immersive and imaginative space, and is combined with narrative to a certain extent to create a new form of expression for the information expression of space design. This paper first interprets the concept of “space” from psychology, painting art, and film art produced. Then explain the particularity of digital media art design, and it uses the design works to explain the content of the exposition. Connecting digital technology can bring people the uniqueness of aesthetics. This paper makes related theoretical research on the design practice of visual space. In this paper, visual perception in psychology is introduced into design thinking. The concept of visual space is not only expressed in art and culture but also involves the concept of space and time in physics and the scientific research theory of visual perception in psychology. It breaks through the level of perceptual cognition of space in art design. 31.85% of the respondents think that visual space design is attractive. Now is the era of new media interaction. The development of interactive technology and devices has brought infinite possibilities to visual communication design. We cannot accurately say its future development and changes. Because of the emergence of new technologies and media, visual communication design is also expanding its own types of works, and it is constantly developing and improving through the study of people’s emotions and the combination of design and technology. This research has positive significance for the development of the visuospatial system. The advancement of digital media technology has enriched the means of expression in space design creation and expanded people’s living spaces. Through the combination of modern digital media technology at multiple levels and multiple channels, various new spaces can be created to further meet the new needs of contemporary people.
The study aimed to identify the usage of digital media in society and applied this usage in educational field. The results indicated that new types of media as (digital media) or (social networks) and (citizen journalism) etc. Results showed that modern communication technology has contributed to enhancing cultural communication, revitalizing knowledge exchange between peoples, overcoming geographical in educational field and even transcending them, and brought about a radical change in quantity and quality in the content transmitted through digital media.
In this study, the linguistic tones of managers and audience during the UK earnings conference calls have been extracted and examined the differences between them. By using a sample of non-financial UK firms listed in the FTSE 350 index over the period 2010–2015, the authors found that manager tones convey much more optimism (less pessimism) than the audience counterparts in the UK earnings conference calls. This result supports academics and practitioners in understanding the language communication during the UK earnings conference calls. Overall, this study is beneficial for regulators, policymakers, and professionals, in evaluating the narrative information disclosed during the UK earnings conference calls.
This study analyses Theresa May"s three seminal Brexit speeches. These describe the kind of desirable post-Brexit EU-UK relationship that she envisioned, and together constitute a corpus of 18,532 words. The speeches can be considered as landmarks on a timeline that was initially meant to lead to the delivery of Brexit. It is hypothesized that there may be meaningful differences between the speeches, and that these affect the representation of reality. These in turn would have a bearing on May"s discursive self-representation as either an individualized or a collectivized social actor. To account for such representational values, the study draws on Halliday"s Transitivity System (1994), starting from the clause and its potential to express ideational meanings. With the aim of uncovering more convincing and interesting findings, a statistical analysis is applied.
