Las prácticas profesionales de la comunicación y las relaciones públicas de las ONG internacionales ante la crisis del COVID-19: el caso de México
Authors: Flores  Mayorga Marco Tulio , Cabezuelo-Lorenzo Francisco , Chalá Mejía Priscila
Published: August 2022

La pandemia de la Covid-19 ha forzado a los profesionales de la comunicación y las relaciones públicas de las organizaciones no gubernamentales a desarrollar nuevos roles, especialmente, en el contexto económico y social post-confinamiento en México. Este estudio revisa sus nuevas funciones y cuáles son los desafíos a los que se enfrentan por la pandemia. Se basa en la experiencia de los profesionales de Amnistía Internacional, Cáritas Mexicana, Greenpeace, Hábitat para la Humanidad, Médicos Sin Fronteras, Special Olympics y World Wildlife Fund. El estudio demuestra que no existe un único rol para gestionar la comunicación y las relaciones públicas. El trabajo de los profesionales es menos estratégico a pesar del predomino de la función directiva y operativa. Su actividad tiene mayor representación en los roles del modelo europeo cuatro por cuatro de Anne Gregory y Paul Willis, y con menor relación a los cuatro roles sociales del modelo norteamericano de James E. Grunig y J. White. Los profesionales intensifican el uso de la web y redes sociales virtuales, estrechan alianzas entre organizaciones, orientan sus esfuerzos de gestión en línea para fidelizar y captar voluntarios, mientras se mantienen activos en la agenda mediática. Además, el estudio estima que, entre los desafíos a enfrentar en los siguientes cinco años, sobresalen la inclusión de estrategias de comunicación interna, el fortalecimiento de la confianza y reputación institucional, la mejora de la estrategia de riesgos, la ampliación de sus públicos objetivo; prestando mayor atención a la sostenibilidad e inclusión, big data y algoritmos. El gran reto se centra en ser menos técnicos y gestionar una comunicación más estratégica con mejores competencias de liderazgo y manejo digital para lograr un mayor reconocimiento de su función dentro de la organización y la sociedad.
Difundir información, principal uso que las emisoras de radio generalistas españolas están haciendo de Twitter
Authors: Herrera Damas Susana , Alemán José Luis Requejo
Published: August 2022

The aim of this paper is to analyze how main Spanish talk radio stations are using Twitter. We start from the hypothesis that this application is being underused. To check it, we have conducted a content analysis of the official Twitter accounts of the main 5 talk radio stations during two weeks, from January, 28th to February, 10th, 211. The results of the 342 analyzed messages certify some positive indicators, together with a widespread use of a 2.0 tool with a mentality that, in many aspects, still remains 1.0.

El objetivo de este texto es analizar los usos que las emisoras de radio generalistas españolas están haciendo de Twitter. Partimos de la hipótesis de que estas emisoras infrautilizan este servicio. Para comprobarla, hemos elaborado un análisis de contenido de las cuentas oficiales de las 5 principales emisoras generalistas españolas durante dos semanas, entre el 28 de enero y el 10 de febrero de 2011. Los resultados de los 342 mensajes analizados certifican ciertos indicadores positivos, junto a un generalizado empleo de una herramienta 2.0 con una mentalidad que continúa siendo netamente 1.0.
From mass communication to new media: a network perspective
Authors: Rosa Antonio Machuco
Published: August 2022

The purpose of this article is to determine the structural form of new online media, with network theory as the main framework of analysis. We argue that this form is a consequence of the shifting of the fixed positions of emission and reception that characterize classical media at a fundamental level. Based on technological, economic, legislative and social aspects, we show that the historical evolution which led to new media may be described by the concept of indifferentiation. This concept characterizes the historical transition between mass media and new media, but also the transition between so called web 1.0 web 2.0. This is a well-known dynamic within the theory of complex systems. Recently, a similar dynamic occurred in the structure of new media. We use these results as a basis to show that the form of new media is identical to that of space of networks, in the sense that this expression is acquired from modern network theory. We then show the social dynamic that determines this form of new media. We conclude that the evolution of new media simultaneously introduces and accelerates a process of social indifferentiation
Primusinter (ím)pares - análise da presença dos académicos nos plateaux informativos da TV portuguesa
Authors: Lopes Felisbela , Loureiro Luís Miguel , Neto Ivo
Published: August 2022

Os académicos estão a tornar-se uma presença cada vez mais visível nos plateaux informativos da TV portuguesa. Não são um grupo muito diversificado. Pelo contrário. Apresentam-se como uma confraria que é oriunda das universidades de Lisboa e pertence a um reduzido número de campos de saberes. Aos plateaux televisivos portugueses dificilmente chegará o fazer-ciência concreto. O que chega são alguns dos seus actores, o que não significa que o consigam por um efeito de reconhecimento inter pares, mas, antes, por um efeito de verdadeiras imparidades: porque já adquiriram suficiente capital simbólico em zonas exteriores ao campo científico. Zonas mais limítrofes, como o campo institucional-académico, ou zonas mais afastadas, como o campo comunicacional.
“Open” or “half-open” Access?: Re-thinking Open Access Initiative (OAI) Policies.
Authors: Machado Jorge Alberto
Published: August 2022

The goal of this paper is to review critically the concept of "open access" of the Open Access Initiative (OAI), and consequently their policies. Considering the technological and behavioral changes underway in society, we advocate a broader scope of the meaning of “open access”. This includes looking at the issue of the intense public funding for research, the diverse forms of copying and dissemination (not just periodicals) and the need to include in the current agenda a broad reform of copyrights.
Los marcos de acción colectiva en la prensa conservadora
Authors: Carratalá Adolfo
Published: August 2022

El artículo examina si la prensa de línea editorial conservadora facilita la promoción de los marcos de acción colectiva promovidos por grupos sociales ideológicamente próximos. El objetivo es determinar si el discurso periodístico se contagia, así, de los elementos que integran el mensaje de los movimientos que protagonizan campañas de protesta desde una postura conservadora. Para ello, el trabajo selecciona como fenómeno de estudio la movilización generada en torno a la puesta en marcha de la asignatura Educación para la Ciudadanía en España (2004-2008), analizando el marco que estructuró el mensaje de los colectivos que agitaron el conflicto y el encuadre periodístico que los diarios ABC y La Razón ofrecieron sobre el mismo. Los resultados revelan que sí hubo importantes coincidencias entre ambos discursos. Por ello, la investigación concluye que la prensa estudiada sacrificó el encuadre periodístico que debe buscar la interpretación de los hechos para adoptar el marco de acción colectiva que persigue la movilización de los ciudadanos y la intensificación del conflicto.
A notícia líquida na nova ecologia midiática
Authors: Rublescki Anelise
Published: August 2022

O artigo repensa o próprio conceito de notícia na sociedade líquida, convergente e midiatizada. Evidencia que a nova ecologia midiática desequilibra o clássico binômio produção-recepção de notícias verticalmente mediadas por jornalistas e transfere a tônica para a circulação. Já não basta publicar: as notícias precisam ser filtradas pelos interagentes, reelaboradas, recomendadas para as redes sociais das plataformas digitais. Ao longo do processo, a notícia adquire um duplo estatuto: o enunciado no seu local de postagem inicial e os fluxos que se estabelecem entre os plurais espaços que se inserem no circuito da notícia online. O somatório desses fluxos resulta na caracterização da notícia líquida. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um trabalho de cunho teórico-analítico, a partir de revisão da literatura.
Teoria da Participação Pública na Internet
Authors: Gonçalves João Fernando Ferreira
Published: August 2022

A participação pública online aparenta ser aleatória, supérflua e imprevisível, mas um olhar mais atento permite desconstruir categorias e padrões que não só explicam os novos mecanismos permitidos pela Web como apontam novas possibilidades para a participação nas organizações.

Usando o método da teoria fundamentada nos dados de Strauss e Glaser (1969), foi realizada uma análise comparativa a vários mecanismos de participação pública na internet. O estudo mostrou que a credibilidade, motivação e acesso são centrais para a morfologia e sucesso dos novos movimentos sociais e propõe uma base estruturada para a discussão das organizações sociais espontâneas virtuais.
Performing Citizenship Online: Identity, Subactivism and Participation
Authors: Mascheroni Giovanna
Published: August 2022

This paper calls for the adoption of a culturalist approach to the study of online participation. Notions of such as “civic cultures”, “public connection”, and “subactivism” represent effective theoretical and analytical tools that help grasp the meaning of online grassroots practices which emerge at the crossroads of politics and culture and are rooted in the realm of everyday life. Therefore, online participation is understood as the outcome of broader social changes and changes in the media environment, usually assumed under the labels “web 2.0” and “convergence culture”, co-determining each other. Drawing on empirical evidence from three interrelated research projects focused primarily on young people, the paper shows how participatory uses are unevenly distributed among social network users and acquire different meanings depending on the civic cultures and the “convergent media ecology” inhabited by the individuals.
The End of the Information Society. Notes for the Configuration of the New Contemporary Public Space: the Society of Devisers
Authors: Alonso Martín Oller , Ibáñez Daniel Barredo , Buenaventura Sandra
Published: August 2022

Mass media have often been described as the “new public space” of the current democratic societies (Ortega, 2003: 61). The increased popularity of New Information and Communication Technologies (NICT) is certainly motivating a change in the paradigm: according to the Society of Devisers, it is linked to the notion of collectiveness, it is demystified and fragmented. That is to say, it is taken out of the journalistic showcases and transformed into something alive, incomplete, accessible and multiple. The new society, fissured and emotionally hyperactive, is crossed by the mirror-neurons. This society of anonymous individuals gives public space triggering bursts of energy and enables, in the multidirectional map of devisers, its own central nervous system, although in close connection with the human body. In the next article of revision, the authors describe some of the characteristics which define the advent of that social emergence.
From the in / visibility of representation to the politics of belonging in networks of young associativism in the Luso-Brazilian suburbs
Authors: Martins Rosana
Published: August 2022

Hip Hop culture in São Paulo (Brazil) and Lisbon (Portugal) is characterized as a social practice that enables greater visibility and assists in identity formation amongst the younger residents of impoverished urban neighbourhoods, often young blacks. Here the hip-hop helps to generate new understandings of self, reduces social stigma and as such, provides an effective tool in the fight against racism and other forms of discrimination and exclusion.

How these individuals define and represent themselves socially? How do they define their representations and practices? What is the impact of such actions in local benefiting communities? The purpose of this work is focused how the young people in São Paulo and Lisbon appropriate of the hip-hop culture in them collective actions, which it will lead them to seek conceptual framework that could direct us to a critical reflection on issues of "belonging", "tradition", "rupture" and "continuity".
Mediating the voice of personal blogging: an analysis of Chinese A-list personal blogs
Authors: Liu Jianxin
Published: August 2022

Voice reveals stance, position and other evaluative aspects of texts. In spite of its major role in establishing blogs’ recognition and participation in the social networking space, voice has not received adequate attention in online communication research. This paper attempts to explore the voice of blogs through examining personal blogs. Data were collected from three A-list Chinese personal blogs hosted on top blog service providers in China. Drawing upon appraisal analysis, this study examined voice of personal blogs through analysing the written texts and images of the blogs. The findings revealed that personal blog authors employed different resources in constructing individualized voices. These were constrained by various factors such as gendered projections, audiences, and culturally specific rhetoric. The paper concludes with a suggestion that further research in exploring voice representations in blogs, however heterogeneous, needs to consider technological and semiotic resources, genre features, and sociocultural and institutional conditions.

Authors: Keskenidou Maria , Kyridis Argyris , Valsamidou Lina P. , Soulani Alexandra-Helen
Published: August 2022

The current paper discusses the case of a social as well as technological phenomenon that has assumed great proportions in recent years, that of blogs. The purpose of this research is to explore students' views on: the role of blogs as a means of information, the reliability of blogs, the social role of blogs. The selection of measuring students' views was made based on the fact that they form one of the most active social groups on one hand and that, on the other hand, they are considered to be some of the most frequent users of the internet.

As an overall conclusion, the participants appear to have a positive attitude concerning blogs, whereas the research findings regarding the individual questions point out interesting views on behalf of the students.
Service Quality of News Channels: A Modified SERVQUAL Analysis
Authors: Mursaleen Muhammad , Ijaz Mubashir , Kashif Muhammad
Published: August 2022

Current study investigates the service quality offered by Pakistani news channels through employing a modified SERVQUAL scale. Further to this, the SERVQUAL and its applicability to measure the service quality of news channels has been presented. A 29-item SERVQUAL based instrument was administered to a sample of 318 randomly selected respondents. The descriptive analysis revealed a ‘gap analysis’ model to infer meaningful results. The results reveal several gaps between expected and perceived service quality. In particular, ‘Responsiveness and Assurance’ dimensions had the highest gaps. However, the SERVQUAL scale has been a good fit while measuring the service quality of news channels in a developing country context. This research originally contributes to the existing service quality literature as the SERVQUAL scale has never been used to measure service quality of TV channels. The recommendations will be helpful in minimizing the service quality gaps and also can trigger channel loyalty by offering services in accordance with the viewer expectations.
A mediatização da dengue na imprensa portuguesa: Os casos do Público, Expresso, Jornal de Notícias e Diário de Notícias
Authors: Araújo Rita , Lopes Felisbela
Published: August 2022

Em outubro de 2012 foram identificados vários casos de febre de dengue na ilha da Madeira, motivando uma cobertura noticiosa do caso que se prolongou até dezembro. A mediatização do surto fez-se principalmente através do recurso a fontes oficiais masculinas que falavam à escala nacional e a fontes documentais.

Este artigo estuda a mediatização do vírus de dengue na imprensa portuguesa, aqui representada pelos jornais diários Público, Jornal de Notícias e Diário de Notícias e pelo semanário Expresso. Através da análise de 39 artigos, nos quais foram citadas 110 fontes de informação, procurámos entender os processos de construção da notícia e as fontes a quem os jornalistas dão voz.
New Demands on Editorial Leadership. Perceived Changes in Swedish Newspaper Management.
Authors: Andersson Ulrika , Wiik Jenny
Published: August 2022

The last decades in the development of news production have accentuated the need for increased managerial skills among editorial leaders. This need is followed by discursive notions connecting management levels across sectors, including the sector of news production. The managerial ideology features globalization of values and economy in the labor market, as well as in the area of communication, and promotes streamlining of organizational models in line with a business thinking common to several industries. This kind of management ideology has implications for all levels of news work and, above all, emphasizes audience orientation to a further extent than before. Our article focuses on how editorial leaders in Sweden perceive their own role as leaders to be changing and why. It does so by drawing empirical support from a mixed methods design of three surveys of editors-in-chief in Sweden, conducted in 2005, 2010, and 2011. The result reveals that editorial leaders are strongly embracing values characterized by managerialism by bringing the key values of profit, efficiency, and leadership into the newsroom. They also perceive their managerial influence to have increased in the newsroom. As this kind of leadership is rather new to Scandinavian news media, the article discusses what kind of implications this new form of leadership may have for news organizations in facing new challenges.
Discourses of Heterosexuality in Women's Magazines’ ads: Visual Realizations and their Ideological Underpinnings
Authors: Coelho Zara Pinto , Mota Ribeiro Silvana
Published: August 2022

This article aims to identify the discourses articulated in images of heterosexual ads published in women’s magazines and their ideological underpinnings. It explores how heterosexuality is represented at a visual level, and examines the notions of femininity and masculinity, gender and sexuality that are constructed by the ads and the way they are intertwined. The main structures of the images are analysed within the framework of social semiotics, and from a critical feminist point of view. The analysis of hetero ads reveals the presence of heteronormative gender discourses and conventional representations of the hetero couple, as well as the presence of more ‘permissive’ discourses and representations concerning female sexuality. However, although some ads might slightly ‘flirt’ with female sexual transgression, this is done in a way that does not threat dominant conceptions of feminine heterosexuality. In conclusion, hetero ads still reinforce conventional heteronormative expectations regarding the relationship between sexuality and gender.

Spanish and Portuguese journalists on Twitter: best practices, interactions and most frequent behaviors
Authors: Doval Montserrat
Published: August 2022

Mediated communication has created new relationship conditions between media, journalists and audience. In an age where information is ubiquitous, in Twitter becomes more evident the ambiguity between mass, interpersonal, public and private communication; and this social network site is the choice for many journalists to engage with the audience. Through content analysis and monitoring of the activity of 20 journalists, 10 Spaniards and 10 Portuguese, most of them media managers, the research suggests that journalists are still learning how to use Twitter, and next to best practices it has also been found that there are unprofessional uses of the tool. After analyzing their behavior through 1470 tweets, it was found that some journalists leverage the capabilities of the medium; acting as agenda-setters and interacting with the audience while others use it simply as a loudspeaker, without audience or source interaction. What Portuguese journalists, with some exceptions, have in common is a scarcer use of the medium, but at the same time a higher rate of following others than the Spanish journalists do. Some journalists predominantly retweet messages that praise them and interact mostly with their colleagues of their own media which gives an endogamous shade to their behavior online.
Explorando a dimensão empírica da cidadania comunicativa e direito à comunicação
Authors: Sartoretto Paola
Published: August 2022

A relevante experiência comunicacional do Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra no Brasil– na qual as rádios comunitárias exercem uma função fundamental ao longo dos 30 anos de existência do movimento – serve como contexto para a análise e problematização das ideias de direito à comunicação (Peruzzo 2011, Deane 2007), cidadania comunicativa (Mata 2006) e representação (Fraser 2009). Fomentam a conscientização (Freire 1987), mobilização e (re)construção da identidade camponesa por meio de uma programação e atividades centradas no exercício do direito à livre expressão e valorização das manifestações culturais populares. Além disso, as rádios ligadas ao movimento se tornam um canal de diálogo com a comunidade local, na medida em que valorizam manifestações culturais da mesma e exercem funções de serviço público. Entretanto, as rádios comunitárias do MST apresentam conflitos e contradições entre os quais se destacam a escassez de recursos, os empecilhos impostos pela restritiva lei de radiodifusão brasileira e a transição para mídias digitais. Nesse contexto, analisam-se aqui as tensões e potencialidades das rádios ligadas ao MST e inseridas nos espaços do movimento, como assentamentos e escolas. Através de entrevistas com comunicadores populares militantes do movimento, pretende-se discutir e contribuir para o desenvolvimento de conceitos como direito à comunicação (Peruzzo 2011), cidadania comunicativa (Mata 2006) e representação (Fraser 2009). A partir desse estudo pode-se constatar a função mediadora (Couldry, 2010) da rádio entre o movimento e as comunidades locais. As rádios também se constituem em um espaço de aprendizagem para o exercício da cidadania comunicativa e do direito à comunicação.
La información ambiental en el espacio público de la prensa impresa. Un estudio longitudinal sobre su referente
Authors: Andrade Del Cid Carmen Patricia
Published: August 2022

Por la importancia que tiene la información con referente ambiental, este estudio se propone analizar su trayectoria en dos períodos: años 2012 y 2013, con el objetivo de analizar el espacio público de la información ambiental. El análisis de la información de los medios de comunicación sobre temas ambientales busca incidir en el pensamiento social y la reflexión crítica de acuerdo a la Agenda 21 (ONU,1992).

El soporte teórico describe el ámbito de la información emitida por los medios en dos -posibles- escenarios del espacio público: 1) como custodia ciudadana; 2) como soporte institucional del poder político.El contexto desarrolla que los más de 80 años de gobierno del Partido Revolucionario Institucional en Veracruz, ha dejado su impronta absolutista en el quehacer informativo respecto a la política, y se pregunta qué sucede en el espacio público de la información ambiental.

Los resultados comparan el comportamiento de la prensa regional sobre temas ambientales en los años 2012 y el 2103. La discusión final reflexiona sobre el importante papel que juega el periodismo en la construcción de la realidad, y en consecuencia del periodista como el primer sujeto que se involucre en los cambios profundos de estilo de vida, de organización social, de formas de pensamiento, conocimiento y principios éticos.

Published: August 2022

El artículo tiene por objetivo caracterizar la inserción curricular de la aplicación Web 2.0 GigaPan para el desarrollo de competencias socio-comunicativas en una escuela primaria de Valdivia, Chile. Metodológicamente, para sistematizar el estudio de caso se levantaron datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. Por un lado, se aplicaron pre y post test para evaluar los progresos y dificultades en el dominio de competencias escriturales y, por otro, se realizaron grupos de conversación con los estudiantes para reflexionar sobre aspectos metacognitivos y motivacionales propios de la innovación educativa. Los principales resultados indican que los progresos escriturales se expresan mejor en dominios tales como Coherencia Textual (14%) y Originalidad del Contenido (17%), y las mayores dificultades radican en el Énfasis en Ideas Relevantes (3%) y la Cohesión Textual (7%). Del lado de la implementación de las TIC los grupos de conversación muestran una positiva disposición a las mediaciones apoyadas por web social y al trabajo colaborativo.
La fotografía y el texto en la construcción del framing de la Primavera Árabe: un análisis del cubrimiento y tratamiento informativo de la prensa de referencia Colombiana, en 2011
Authors: Córdoba Hernández Ana María
Published: August 2022

2011 se recordará como el año de las protestas y de la indignación mundial. Las imágenes de plazas repletas de manifestantes dieron la vuelta al mundo. Desde entonces, este patrón de protesta social se repite de modo ininterrumpido. Este trabajo analiza el cubrimiento que se hizo de este fenómeno desde la prensa escrita, tomando como punto de referencia, el tratamiento que hicieron los diarios El Tiempo y El Espectador, de Colombia, a las informaciones sobre la Primavera Árabe, la cuna de las revueltas. Para ello, se aplicó una matriz de análisis de contenido cuantitativo y cualitativo a la muestra seleccionada, que se complementó con un análisis semiótico de las fotografías, para identificar el framing que hicieron los diarios del fenómeno y si sirvieron de altavoces a las manifestaciones.

A peaceful pyramid? Hierarchy and anonymity in newspaper comment sections
Authors: Gonçalves João Fernando Ferreira
Published: August 2022

Several studies have linked deindividuation to an increase in aggression and incivility. This paper seeks to ascertain the influence of anonymity and hierarchy in online aggression by comparing two different newspaper comment sections: one with a hierarchical system and the other with an equalitarian setting. This study distinguishes itself form previous works by analyzing systems where identification is optional and where identified and anonymous users coexist.

The hierarchical solution might be relevant to dissuade aggression when optional identifiability is seen as an essential asset. Results show that a hierarchical system provides some improvements in terms of civility and comment moderation, but that poor implementation of the hierarchy causes perversions in the system and affects its effectiveness.

Wikipédia no feminino. O caso da enciclopédia em língua portuguesa
Authors:   Universidade do Minho, Rodrigues Costa Pedro , Barros Vanessa ,   Universidade do Minho, Cerqueira Carla ,   Universidade Lusófona,
Published: August 2022

Depois do inquérito sobre o perfil dos editores da Wikipédia em língua portuguesa, onde se concluiu, entre outros aspetos, que a participação das mulheres na construção e edição desta plataforma é de apenas 11% (Costa, 2021a), o nosso objetivo neste artigo foi o de analisar, nessa mesma base de dados (N=231), as perspetivas das mulheres sobre as razões para a colaboração neste gigante informacional, quais os sentimentos no processo de edição/colaboração e quais as ideologias mais incómodas no processo de edição. Os resultados revelaram fortes desigualdades de género nesta enciclopédia digital voluntária, tanto no número de editores/as como na edição de verbetes. Além disso, as mulheres distinguem-se neste processo por atribuírem grande importância à edição de verbetes enciclopédicos por três ordens de razões: 1) contribuir para o conhecimento livre; 2) satisfazer interesses pessoais/profissionais; 3) promover a igualdade de género – razões que diferem dos homens. Concluiu-se também que a maioria das mulheres inquiridas sentiu bem-estar, gratificação, felicidade e ânimo nos processos de edição de verbetes, ainda que tenham manifestado uma certa sensação de “dificuldade no uso da plataforma” de edição. Finalmente, concluiu-se que para metade das mulheres editoras inquiridas, existem ideologias incómodas nos processos de edição, e que essas estão relacionadas com os temas do fascismo (11,5%), do machismo e da misoginia (7,7%).

La relación entre movimientos sociales e internet sigue siendo un campo fecundo de estudio. Desde las primeras prácticas de participación en internet del movimiento social Zapatista, pasando por la proliferación de manifestaciones colectivas asociadas al uso de internet entre la primera y la segunda décadas del siglo XXI, hasta en la actualidad, donde internet se asocia a prácticas de mercantilización de datos, control y vigilancia. Son muchas las transformaciones que se han producido en esta relación y, por tanto, ha suscitado diferentes enfoques teóricos para su abordaje. En concomitancia, partiendo del interés investigativo de las interacciones sociales mediadas por la tecnología para llevar a cabo proyectos colectivos de resistencia, se hace pertinente divulgar los resultados de la revisión y el análisis documental, que tiene como propósito identificar diferentes enfoques teóricos desde las ciencias sociales, para la comprensión de las interacciones sociotécnicas en la relación entre movimientos sociales e internet. Como resultados se evidencia una proliferación del uso de internet por parte de movimientos sociales para visibilizar las luchas y promover la acción colectiva, un entramado de actores heterogéneos que mantienen la relación, una carencia de teorías de la interacción para explicar el fenómeno y la necesidad de estudiar internet más allá de lo instrumental, al ser un actor tecnológico relevante en la sociedad contemporánea.
Imputation methods for missing values: the case of Senegalese meteorological data
Authors: di Sémou , Dème El , Dème Abdoulaye
Published: August 2022

nge studies require comprehensive databases to analyze the climate signal, to monitor its evolution, and to predict more accurately future changes. Since complete observations of any continuous process is almost impossible, it is then inevitable to encounter missing information in meteorological databases. The aim of this work is to evaluate the performance of five ($5$) imputation methods: missForest, $k$-nn, ppca, mice and imputeTS. The results show that missForest is the best performing method to handle missing temperature data. In the case of precipitation data, the imputeTS method is the preferred one.
An Investigation of the Correlation of Antibacterial Activity of Thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.) with its Nutrient Elements
Authors: GÜRGAN ESER Muazzez , ADİLOGLU Sevinc
Published: August 2022

The present study aimed to examine the correlation of plant nutrient elements with the antibacterial activity of methanol extract of Thymus vulgaris L. grown on soil from the experimental field without application of fertilizers or pesticides on two Gram-positive and two Gram-negative bacteria. The extract of thyme was obtained by maceration of aerial parts of the plant using methanol as the solvent. The contents of macro (P, K, Ca, and Mg) and micro (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, and B) nutrients were detected by ICP-OES. The results showed that the macro nutrients were compatible with herbaceous perennial plants, while Fe, Mn and B micro nutrients were high. The methanol extract was significantly effective on inhibiting P. aeruginosa, S. aureus and E. faecalis, while did not inhibit E. coli. The correlation of K and Mg was significantly positive with the growth inhibition of P. aeruginosa suggesting that higher K and Mg contents of the plant would result in higher antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa, most probably up to a point. On the other hand, significant positive correlation of B was found with the inhibition of both Gram-positive bacteria. In addition, the positive correlation of Ca with the growth inhibition of S. aureus was highly significant. The importance of nutrient contents in medicinal aromatic plants such as thyme was shown with this study. The results therefore imply the conscious and sustainable agriculture of medicinal aromatic plants is crucial for the antibacterial activity of thyme.

In this study, the full car model, which is exposed to a sinusoidal road input, has been examined to ensure the driving safety of the vehicles and the comfort of the passengers. In this context, the full car, including lateral and vertical movements, is modeled with fourteen degrees of freedom. The second-order equations of motion of the modeled vehicle were obtained using the Lagrangian method and reduced to first-order equations of motion using the state-space form. Then, these equations of motion were solved precisely in the time domain using the Euler method in the Matlab environment. To examine the lateral movements and the rotations of the vehicle in the pitch and roll axis, a sine wave with a wavelength of 5 m and an amplitude of 0.1 m was applied to the wheels of the vehicle. In the analysis, the right front wheel is exposed to a sinusoidal road input at t=0 s, while the left front wheel is exposed to a sinusoidal road input after the vehicle moves 2.5 m. Thus, both the pitch and roll motion of the vehicle will be examined in detail. In the study, four different vehicle masses 500 kg, 1000 kg, 2000 kg, and 3000 kg were taken into consideration and the effect of different vehicle masses on passenger and vehicle dynamic behaviors was investigated. In addition, the situation of passing vehicles at variable speeds from the given disruptive road input has also been examined. The maximum dynamic responses of the passenger and the vehicle were examined when the vehicle speed changed from 3 m/s to 50 m/s by 0.1 m/s. In the study, it has been observed that the vehicle mass and certain vehicle speed have effects on the vertical and lateral displacements and accelerations of the passenger and the vehicle

Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the greatest significant grain crops in Ethiopia which ranked second only next tef in local production. However, its production is limited due to incorrect line spaces between crops. Therefore, field research was conducted at Dambi Dollo University during the 2020/2021 growing season under irrigated conditions for the production and yield of hybrid maize (BH546) with the help of optimizing spaces between rows. The test is performed using a three-dimensional Random Block Design with three replication in a single-factor test having three different line spaces (20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm). The highest values ​​of total ears in each crop, length of the ears, total seed rows in each cob, seed in each cob, the weight of a thousand grains, seed yield, and the harvest index are recorded in wide spaces (40 cm). The performance of hybrid maize (BH546) and part of the crop, a wide range of 40 cm rows between crops can be recommended in the study area.

With the sudden change of environment and limited studies on the effects of COVID-19 lockdown among university students, this study therefore aims to examine the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on physical activity level and mental health among university students in Malaysia. This is a cross-sectional study involving university students studying in Klang Valley, Malaysia. Demographics information, living status during COVID-19, physical activity level and mental health status were obtained through online questionnaire via Microsoft forms. Paired T-test was used to compare the effect of physical activity level and mental health status during COVID-19 lockdown. Data on falls was available for 383 participants with 254 (66.3 %) women and 129 (33.7%) men. Overall, the metabolic equivalent task (MET) of vigorous, moderate, mild, and total MET has decreased during COVID-19 lockdown as compared to before COVID-19 lockdown. Approximately an increment of 6% of participants reported having depression and anxiety during COVID-19 lockdown. In conclusion, significant impact on physical activity level and mental health was found in our study. Our study findings could therefore assist educational institutions and policymakers in forming strategies to improve student’s overall health, yet further longitudinal studies should be performed to examine the long-term effects of COVID-19 lockdown.

The current state and prospects of development of the world and Russian markets of semiconductor monocrystalline solar and electronic silicon obtained by the Czochralski method (Cz-Si) are considered. The growing demand for microelectronics, the "green turn" proclaimed by all governments in the energy sector and the restoration of prices to an investment-attractive level, contributed to the emergence of new projects. The development of domestic silicon microelectronics in the light of well-known events is becoming an urgent necessity. Domestic solar energy has also approached the threshold that makes it cost-effective to implement the entire technological chain of production.

When accompanied by clear communication and the right leadership, a merger can afford a college with administrative, economic, and academic benefits. In the absence of ample time and consideration, a merger can harm stakeholders' morale and organizational commitment. This paper aims to determine how higher education institutions' financial needs can impact the importance of selecting a compatible merger partner. The following thesis provides an in-depth discussion of the controversial merger between Watkins College of Art and Belmont University. Through interviews with Belmont and Watkins' students, this case study analyzes how the handling of the Watkins-Belmont merger impacted the colleges' main stakeholder group. Suggestions for future mergers emphasize the importance of mitigating misinformation by way of redundant and transparent communication, ample planning, and willing leadership.
Moving Beyond Environmental Sustainability Toward Eco-Social Practice

Public art experts over the past decade have urged public art programs to adopt environmentally sustainable standards in their best practices. However, this urging has often been a one-dimension effort and regularly disregards the practice of social equity in tangent. A move beyond environmental sustainability toward eco-social practice is then imperative. This study examines three public artworks in Southern California created for green building capital projects through percent-for-art ordinances within the past decade by three separate governing agencies. By looking at a robust set of artwork details like the materials used, locality of artists, community inclusion, access to artworks, and conditions of public art sites, in addition to policy and decision-maker values, research begins to illustrate if and how transitions toward eco-social practice are occurring. In-situ observations, secondary sources, and interviews with public art administrators and public art consultants helped to triangulate the collected data. Overall, two of the three public artworks studied showed signs of transition toward eco-social practice. Public artworks that required collaborative teams of local artists, fabricators, community members, engineers, architects, and arts managers were most successfully categorized as eco-social. Additionally, the vision of arts managers who viewed capital projects as opportunities for environmentally sustainable public art, who support ideas of community engagement, was also essential. These findings suggest that while there is a strong push for environmental sustainability, public art workers can and should advocate for more holistic goals. Tackling environmental issues like air quality for surrounding communities, using materials that are healthy for artists and part of local economic streams, and co-producing artworks with stakeholders are all possible for public artworks to do, as these case studies show.
