Many Indian COVID-19 suicide cases are turning the press-media attention and flooding in the social media platforms although, no particular studies assessed the COVID-19 suicide causative factors to ...a large extent. Therefore, the present study presents 69 COVID-19 suicide cases (aged 19 to 65 years; 63 cases were males). The suicide causalities are included as follows – fear of COVID-19 infection (n=21), followed by financial crisis (n=19), loneliness, social boycott and pressure to be quarantine, COVID-19 positive, COVID-19 work-related stress, unable to come back home due to lockdown, unavailability of alcohol etc. Considering the extreme psychological impacts related to COVID-19, there emerges a need for countrywide extensive tele-mental health care services.
This article offers a framework to model the epistemological terrain of the circulation and regulation of knowledge in late-period Soviet society. It proposes that secrecy and openness operated in a ...mutually constitutive “social map of knowledge” that was constantly shifting due to the inability to maintain secrecy as a stable category. Investigating the domain of Soviet science, this article sheds light on the work of institutions such as Glavlit, the state censorship authority, which supported the state’s goal to maintain the contours of secrecy as a static category by repeatedly issuing edicts and restructuring the apparatus of secrecy in the face of constant and destabilizing social, cultural, and technological pressures. This stable but volatile condition encouraged a common language of “speaking in secret” that cut across the Soviet social order. The “social map of knowledge” was one with high peaks, where valuable knowledge was placed in the hands of those with power, even as these peaks were under intense pressure to collapse from a parallel market of speculation marked by rumor, suspicion, and conspiracy theories. This form of “stable volatility” became impossible to maintain in the 1980s, when a deluge of information flooded Soviet society.
No presente artigo, investiga-se historiográfica e etnograficamente, quatro jornais moçambicanos de grande circulação entre os anos de 1975 e 2007, no intuito de perceber como a imprensa do país ...tratou a questão da homossexualidade desde a independência. Conclui-se que a imprensa local, ao publicizar a homossexualidade de estrangeiros e não engajar em um discurso de ódio, reforçou a ideia da exogenia da homossexualidade em África e, diferente de outras nações africanas vizinhas, produziu um ambiente de tolerância para com a questão em Moçambique.
News on corporate information can enhance clarity or add to confusion for market participants, especially investors. We explore how two diverse types of information dissemination —corporate ...disclosure and media coverage—influence stock market liquidity by mediating information asymmetries. We conclude that the two information inflows have notable and distinct impacts on liquidity. Our chief finding suggests that information from corporate disclosures induces a wider bid-ask spread, consistent with increased information asymmetries among investors. In contrast, we find that press media coverage—both good and bad news—improves liquidity. This indicates that mass media is a critical channel that provides investors with news to mitigate information uncertainty. Further, this media effect is partly driven by original journalism coverage and assistance for investors' information assimilation. Finally, in the case of stocks in which retail investors' participation is greater, the liquidity-improving effect of mass media is more prominent.

En las sociedades democráticas actuales, los medios de prensa, conocidos como “el cuarto poder” y quegeneralmente están a cargo de las elites locales, han adquirido un rol fundamental en la ...naturalizaciónde discursos en la comunidad ejerciendo la fuerza de incluso influenciar a la opinión pública en temaspolíticos, sociales, religiosos y económicos, entre otros. Siendo el problema de estudio la influenciaque la emisión de cierto tipo de discurso tiene sobre el receptor de este, el objetivo de este artículo esreflexionar acerca del vínculo existente entre el discurso, la opinión pública y epistemología de la prensaescrita en torno a la migración en tiempos de COVID-19 en Chile. Los resultados de la observación deonce diarios por medio del Análisis Crítico del Discurso arrojan que, por un lado, los actores tales comoautoridades son nominalizados, mientras que los extranjeros son asimilados a un grupo o invisibilizadoscompletamente. Por otro lado, los temas que emergen del análisis son la pobreza, la vulnerabilidad y ladiscriminación. Este estudio apunta a problematizar los discursos que provienen de los medios escritosdesde una perspectiva crítica y a contribuir a una construcción dialógica del otro de forma objetiva alejadade visiones preconcebidas y estigmatizadoras difundidas por los medios de comunicación.
The problem, thematic and functional characteristics of the modern press of the Ukrainian diaspora in Italy are identified using the example of "Ukrainian Newspaper". Methodology of the research ...based on the use of abstraction and synthesis methods, as well as on the content analysis of the content of text information and text arrays. Scientific novelty. The features of typical topics for diaspora publications are revealed and analyzed, in particular: current news and events (information about the spread of Covid-19 in Ukraine and Italy, advice to immigrants about social, medical and legal support in a pandemic), political and socio-economic news in Ukraine (key events for the participation of the Ukrainian government) materials about interstate relations (information about mutual official visits of senior officials, meetings with interstate issues); geopolitical events (materials about events in other countries by immigrants) news of culture and education (information about cultural and educational events); problems of migrants (materials about the activities of the Ukrainian authorities in the fi eld of immigration policy, employment rules, migration policy in Italy). In addition, gaps in the coverage of Ukrainian topics in the Ukrainian Gazette were identifi ed and it was proposed to add analytical materials on current events in Ukraine, which could bear fruit in the economic, political and social aspects of Ukraine’s representation in the international community. Conclusions. It was found that the publication fulfi lls important tasks in which information, cultural, educational, image, organizational and coordination functions prevail. The publication, which publishes materials in Ukrainian and deals with Ukrainian issues, wants to preserve the ethnic identity of the diaspora community. It is noted that the study of media in the Italian diaspora has great importance for the formation of a highquality alternative public space, where the Ukrainian diaspora has the opportunity to express their opinion and infl uence the image of Ukraine.
This article focuses on the ways in which women engaged in acts of political violence in Northern Ireland during the Troubles were depicted by the print media. Media is often used to reinforce a ...particular point of view, especially during conflict, when each side wants to portray its own perspective favorably and depict the adversary as negatively as possible. This article begins with background about the Troubles and reviews some of the ways that Republican (generally Catholic) women became more involved in the struggle indirectly for example, by using gendered approaches to 'lure' soldiers, or directly, by engaging in acts of political violence. What is especially important are the ways in which the press depicted these women using gender stereotypes to convey a particular political point of view. The focus on the ways in which violent women were portrayed during the Troubles allows us to move beyond the notion of 'women's invisibility' by reminding us that women and their actions were very visible to the general public through the press, albeit in a gendered way. This analysis provides a more complete understanding of women's roles during the Troubles.
Our study analyses a detailed report, issued on November 18th, 1970, by The Foreign Broadcast Information Service (FBIS), which was subordinated to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) during the ...Cold War. The role of the FBIS was to collect, translate into English, and make extensive summaries of information in foreign media, especially those within the Communist Bloc, summaries which would later be made available to U.S. decision-makers. The FBIS was an important branch of the CIA, seeing that the United States sought to identify any vulnerability to the adversary, and that the communist media did not enjoy freedom of expression, but instead precisely reflected the official position of the regime. The late 1970s are all the more interesting as the Communist Bloc`s monolithic unity breaks down and distinct positions emerge (e.g., the Soviet Union versus China, or Romania versus the Soviet Union), while the United States find themselves in a difficult situation in Indochina, the Middle East, or Latin America.
Em 1961, o assalto ao Santa Maria, a eclosão da guerra em Angola e a queda do Estado Português da Índia fizeram as primeiras páginas da imprensa mundial durante sema nas a fio. Portugal e o regime do ...Estado Novo passaram a ser assiduamente notícia nos jornais estrangeiros. E contra a vontade de Salazar, o regime viu-se sujeito às constrições de uma sociedade dos media de massa e da sua capacidade de influência nos processos de simbolização e da formação de correntes de opinião. Assumindo que a imprensa é um ator político de primeiro plano na constituição do mundo social, cultural e político, este livro conduz-nos por um estudo de um amplo acervo de artigos saídos nos jornais portugueses, britânicos e franceses ao longo do annus horribilis de 1961, atento aos símbolos, à linguagem, à comunicação de massa, ao condicionamento psicológico, à diplomacia mediática e à guerra. Através de uma abordagem que combina a Sociolo gia, a História, as Ciências da Comunicação, os Estudos de Media e das Relações Internacionais, a autora examina as lu tas políticas travadas pelo regime e contra o regime, num qua dro internacional marcado por dinâmicas de descolonização e pela guerra fria. Privilegiando sempre a ação da imprensa na história política e a história política impelida pela força produtiva da imprensa.

Les anecdotes reprises par la presse et, en particulier, par la presse satyrique visent à apporter des éclairages décalés mais souvent profonds sur divers sujets de société. Celles proposées sur le ...don de sang et l’entourage transfusionnel dans la presse française des années 1950 à 1980 nous donnent de voir le chemin parcouru tout en insistant sur le point des immobilismes ou des idées reçues persistantes. Elles pourraient servir de tremplin pour une réflexion éthique revisitée.
Anecdotes, such as found in the media and chiefly the humor journals and magazines aim at bringing revisited insights on society subjects, which can even be the most serious. Anecdotes reported here on blood transfusion and the transfusion environment, that were retrieved from French news released in the media press between the 1950s to 1980s give a view on what has been achieved since then, but also on what is at a standstill by some incapability in moving forward or in changing minds. Those anecdotes would be used to stimulate or refresh debates in transfusion related-ethics.
