The Controversy of Weber: Cultural Sociology, Neoliberalism and Theory of Domination
Authors: Ozhiganov Edward
Published: July 2020

The article analyzes the most significant properties of the dispute about Weber caused by attempts to “reconstruct” Weberian heritage in cultural-anthropological and liberal “paradigms”. It appears that Weber's theory of domination causes an implicit tension, which calls the canonization of Weber as a “classic” of institutionalized sociology into question. The cultural-anthropological “reconstruction” of Weber’s heritage is characterized by meta-theorizing on the basis of conceptual universalia, which fundamentally contradicts the main provisions of Weber’s understanding (interpretative) sociology in both the substantive and methodological aspects. The “paradigm” of the neoliberal utopia split into two camps: the former ignores Weber’s understanding of sociology as a scientific discipline, while the latter, is characterized by attempts to “distill” his legacy for the needs of the so-called new economic sociology.
Residential Concentrations of Migrants in Russian Cities: Is There a Pattern?
Authors: Varshaver Evgeni , Rocheva Anna , Ivanova Nataliya , Ermakova Mayya
Published: July 2020

This article is based on research of international ethnic-migrants’ residential concentrations in Russian cities. The research is based on the uncertainty as to whether such concentrations exist in Russia; there is scholarship which both supports and refutes this thesis. Stemming from the social-ecology approach of the Chicago School of Sociology, the authors concentrate on locations in three Russian cities where the residential concentration of migrants is the highest. These places are the town of Kotelniki in Moscow Region, Sortirovka in Yekaterinburg, and KrasTEC in Krasnoyarsk. Utilizing both field and theoretical methods, the authors describe how these places appeared and what processes occur there. Based on a comparative analysis, the authors hypothesize a pattern which lies behind these cases and distinguishes these cases from other-country cases. According to the hypothesis, migrants form residential concentrations around those large markets which started appearing on the peripheries of Russian cities after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the following decades, the succession of the migrant population also settled there, and now a substantial share of these neighborhoods’ population are migrants, both those who work at the market and their relatives and friends who work in other parts of cities. Additionally, the migrant infrastructure evolved, and the neighborhoods started to be considered as ethnic and migrant.
The Relations of Rural Community to Other Branches of Social Sciences
Authors: Weber Max
Published: July 2020

This publication is the translation of the speech “The Relations of the Rural Community to Other Branches of Social Sciences” given by Max Weber at the International Congress of Arts and Science in St. Louis (Missouri, USA) in September, 1904. In this speech, Weber examines several prevailing themes that are characteristic for his understanding of modernity. The first of them — the narrowest one — is related to the transformation of the agrarian sector of Germany, and the significance of the “agrarian question” for the historical destinies of the German nation in the context of differences between the east, west, and south regions of the country. The second important topic of the speech is the analysis of the general dynamics in the formation and development of modernity in Europe against the backdrop of the confrontation between two structural principles, defined by Weber as “tradition” and “capitalism”. Finally, the third prevailing topic covered in the speech is a comparative analysis of European and American modernity, substantiated by the German classic in the shape of comparative historical sociology.
Restriction Endonuclease Protection Assays using Infrared-Fluorescent Probes v1
Authors: Van Dyke Michael , Gracien Isabelle
Published: July 2020

Many proteins sequence-specifically bind duplex DNA, e.g., transcriptional regulatory proteins. Analysis of their interactions can be performed by a variety of methods, including electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) and quantitative DNase I footprinting. Here we describe an additional electrophoretic method, restriction endonuclease protection assays (REPA), to qualitatively and quantitatively study the interactions of thermophilic transcription regulatory proteins to PCR-generated, infrared-fluorescent DNA probes. REPA utilizes type IIS restriction endonucleases (IISRE), which cleave double-stranded DNA without specificity at a fixed distance from their recognition sequence. Thus, IISREs can be used to probe the occupancy of a suitably situated DNA-binding site for a variety of ligands. REPA has certain advantages as it does not require the maintenance of ligand-DNA complex stability during gel electrophoresis, as is the case with EMSA and is technically far less challenging than quantitative DNase I footprinting.

Published: July 2020

This article presents findings from the Housing and Ageing programme conducted in 2018 that investigated how the housing sector can effectively plan for an ageing population. The project took a transdisciplinary approach to focus on new, critical insights into the process of decision making concerning housing and ageing across Scotland, England and Wales. A ‘Serious Game’ methodology was developed that explored over 200 policy maker, practitioner and service user perspectives. This was used as a framework to capture priorities, decisions, negotiations and processes that indicate how a ‘sense of place’ and ‘place belonging’ can influence the development of suitable housing for older people. Key housing provision challenges identified were tackling inequality, preserving autonomy, in(ter)dependence, empowerment and accessibility. Such challenges need consideration when strategically planning for the future. The findings recommend placing housing at the heart of service integration to support the co-production of decisions that emphasise the importance of working together across boundaries within social policy, service and stakeholder groups. A place-based approach can support the perception that we are all stakeholders in ageing.
Is Housing Growth Ever Inclusive Growth? Evidence from Three Decades of Housing Development in England and Wales, 1981–2011
Authors: Tunstall Rebecca
Published: July 2020

There is global concern about who gains from economic growth, including housing development, and global interest in making growth more inclusive. This article creates a new definition of ‘housing growth,’ growth in median space per person. It says that this housing growth is ‘inclusive’ if the worst-off make some gains, and ‘just’ if inequality does not increase. It applies these terms to data for 1981–2011 on rooms per person for England and Wales, the bulk of the UK, a nation with high income inequality but lower housing inequality. At national level, median housing space increased but the worst-off gained nothing, and inequality rose, so growth was neither inclusive nor just. Sub-national evidence shows that housing growth benefitted the worst-off in most areas, but they generally made very modest gains, and growth without increasing inequality was very rare. There was housing growth in all 10 regions except London, it was inclusive in 6 regions, but not just in any region. 97% of local authorities experienced housing growth, and it was inclusive in 72%, but the average gain for the worst-off was just 0.2 rooms/person over thirty years. Only 3% of local authorities achieved both inclusive and just growth. This suggests that in the UK and similar nations, local initiatives will be insufficient to achieve growth with significant gains for the worst-off, and that substantial change to the national system of housing development and allocation is needed. There may be a policy choice between benefitting the worst-off and reducing inequality. There is potential for further and comparative research.
Creating Community and Belonging in a Designated Housing Estate for Disabled People
Authors: Ellis Liz , Muñoz Sarah-Anne , Narzisi Katia , Bradley Sara , Hall Jenny
Published: July 2020

In recent years there has been an ideological push within social care away from segregated housing provision towards supported housing integrated within the wider community (McConkey, Keogh, Bunting, Iriarte, & Watson, 2016; Merrells, Buchanan, & Waters, 2019; Overmars-Marx, Thomése, Verdonschot, & Meininger, 2014). Despite this, many housing solutions for older and disabled people continue to be built on a designated basis, with physical and emotional wellbeing outcomes being both contested and mixed. After reviewing key policy relating to social care housing alongside some of the theoretical and ideological positions, this article explores the social and emotional outcomes of a diverse group of disabled people living with mental health difficulties, physical and intellectual impairments, illnesses and age-related conditions, who moved into a small, purpose-built estate of smart homes. Drawing primarily on qualitative data collected from tenants prior to moving and again seven months following relocation, the impact of moving into the estate on tenants’ sense of wellbeing and feelings of inclusion will be analysed and discussed in relation to efforts to build a new community.

Published: July 2020

Teknolojinin hızla geliştiği son yıllarda kablonun sınırlarından kurtulma ve aynı anda kablosuz birçok cihaza bağlanma isteği yeni teknolojilerin geliştirilmesine neden olmuştur. Mobil telefonlar, bilgisayar ile yapılabilecek her türlü işlemi gerçekleştirebilme olanağı sağlamanın yanında zeki özellikleri ile internete erişim imkânı sağlaması sayesinde toplumda en çok kullanılan teknolojik cihazlar haline gelmiştir. Mobil telefonların aşırı kullanımı toplumda mobil bağımlılığın ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Toplumun mobil telefon kullanırken çoklu ortamda (ses, video, oyun, vb.) yüksek kapasite (bant genişliği) ve düşük gecikme ihtiyacı yeni nesil teknolojilerin geliştirilmesini gerektirmektedir. Bu araştırmada telekomünikasyon şirketi çalışanlarının mobil telefon bağımlılık durumları ve yeni geliştirilen 5G teknolojisini kabullenme niyetleri belirlenerek değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Uygulanan anket çalışması ile elde edilen verilerin yapısal geçerliliği doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile test edilerek, mobil bağımlılık ve 5G teknolojisi kabullenme niyeti arasındaki ilişki regresyon analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada mobil bağımlılık ve 5G teknolojisi kabullenme niyeti arasında pozitif yönde ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur.

Authors: CANAZ SEVGEN Sibel , ALİEFENDİOĞLU Yeşim
Published: July 2020

Traditional methods in many areas have been replaced by modern methods known as machine learning with the rapidly developing technology and innovations in science. One of these areas is real estate valuation (appraisal) area. Real estate appraisal can be conducted on a single real estate as well as appraisal of more than one real estate together, which is called as mass appraisal, is possible. In this study, a mass appraisal is performed by a Random Forest Regression method, and the results were evaluated. For this purpose, data of 189 flats expected real value and their 13 variables were collected in Yenimahalle, Ankara. 75% of these data were used as training data and 25% as test data. According to the results, a difference of at minimum 600 TL, maximum 60.000 TL and averagely 25.000 TL were observed between the predicted value by the Random Forest regression and the expected real value. According to these results, random forest regression is a successful method in mass appraisal, and it is observed that valuation with different machine learning methods such as random forest regression has a positive effect on time and labor force comparing with valuation of real estate by traditional methods individually.

A non-contact method for estimating the pre-tension of a rectangular membrane structure
Authors: Li Dong , Lai Zhi-Chao , Wang Ying , Zheng Zhou-Lian
Published: July 2020

The stiffness of membrane structures widely used in modern buildings is provided by pre-tension, which means that any loss of pre-tension during service life may endanger structural safety and lead to engineering accidents. Therefore, the pre-tension of membrane structures needs to
be estimated effectively and a corresponding estimation method is proposed in this study. Firstly, a theoretical model of a rectangular membrane structure is established using the constant deflection contour method (CDCM) to analytically derive a relationship between the pre-tension and the
frequency. Then, the pre-tension is calculated using the frequency obtained experimentally by non-contact modal testing using a three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) technique. Furthermore, the estimation method is validated by experimental study. The results show that the proposed
method can provide a satisfactory assessment of the pre-tension in rectangular membrane structures and has significant potential to be utilised by industry.
Clubes de lectura virtuales en España
Authors: Santamarta Agnès , Agustí Lluís
Published: July 2020

Este artículo analiza los clubes de lectura virtuales en funcionamiento en España en 2019. Se pretende obtener una imagen de estos clubes virtuales a través del estudio de su funcionamiento, plataformas tecnológicas utilizadas, normas de uso y, con mayor detalle, el examen de sus participantes: perfil sociodemográfico, motivaciones, experiencias y valoraciones. Para ello se estableció, previamente, un estado de la cuestión actualizado de estudios y experiencias de clubes de este tipo. Seguidamente, se contactaron las redes de bibliotecas públicas españolas, así como universitarias, hasta un total de 103 instituciones, para identificar las iniciativas existentes en el territorio español. Esto permitió identificar 24 clubes de lectura virtuales que fueron encuestados para alcanzar los objetivos planteados. Las conclusiones arrojan luz sobre estas actividades de animación lectora: normas de funcionamiento diversas, plataformas dispares, pero con un perfil de usuario homogéneo, y una valoración positiva de sus participantes. Estas conclusiones, bajo la forma de buenas prácticas, pueden ser de ayuda para las instituciones en el diseño y la reorientación de clubes de lectura virtuales, así como la necesidad puntual —o sostenida, con la llegada de la COVID-19, de transformar los clubes presenciales en virtuales.

Isomorfismo mimético no cinema brasileiro: o modelo norte-americano de governança e a frustração da indústria nacional
Authors: Taño Debora Regina , Torkomian Ana Lúcia Vitale
Published: July 2020

A ideia da industrialização do cinema no Brasil passou a ser pauta constante a partir da década de 1920, tanto de críticos, quanto de realizadores. As discussões acerca do que deveria ser feito e o que seria o cinema brasileiro por excelência sempre encontravam o modelo norte-americano como referência. A tentativa de seguir tal modelo, no entanto, não abriu espaço para a adoção de outras lógicas e estruturas de governança que existiam, mas não eram valorizadas pelo meio. A partir das teorias institucionais e das diferentes estruturas de governança das organizações, propõem-se examinar as tentativas de industrialização do cinema brasileiro entre os anos 1920 e 1960, identificando as práticas de legitimação do cinema nacional frente a um pensamento artístico do que seria qualidade e, sobretudo, de um modelo de produção institucionalmente mimetizado do modelo hollywoodiano clássico.

Este artigo tem como objetivo refletir sobre uma tendência recente de mercado cuja oferta de produtos busca estimular relações afetivas. O exemplo analisado é o Gatebox, que proporciona ao consumidor a experiência de morar com sua personagem favorita. Há novas formas de consumo e interação que emergem deste contexto, especialmente em países onde as companhias virtuais já são consideravalmente difundidas, como é o caso do Japão. A fundamentação teórica reúne autores como Takeyama (2005); Kurotani (2014); Illouz (2011); Giard (2016); Azuma (2009); Barral (2000); e a pesquisa do filósofo Brian Massumi (2015), sobretudo no âmbito da filosofia e economia. A metodologia de pesquisa parte de uma ampla revisão bibliográfica reunindo autores japoneses e ocidentais, desdobrando-se em pesquisas de campo no Japão, realizadas pelas autoras nos últimos cinco anos, incluindo visita a centros de pesquisa, laboratórios, sex-shops e feiras. O resultado é um panorama preliminar do estado da arte do fenômeno Gatebox e da cultura otaku no Japão e um levantamento de questões que analisam as relações afetivas transdimensionais entre seres humanos e personagens, assim como, o impacto crescente destas relações em redes específicas de consumo no Japão e em países ocidentais.

Trabajo y parto prematuros
Authors: Villareal Mejía Jorge
Published: July 2020

Introducción.—El trabajo prematuro del parto y los múltiples problemas concomitantes con el nacimiento del niño prematuro, han sido el tema de un gran número de publicaciones en la literatura médica durante los últimos cinco años.Tres datos estadísticos brevemente nos ponen de presente la importancia de este tema desde el punto de vista médico-social:1.El parto prematuro está catalogado como octavo entre todas las causas de muerte.2.Las muertes de fetos viables prematuros constituyen el 10% de todas las defunciones en los Estados Unidos de América.3.Mientras solamente 6% de todos los nacimientos son prematuros, la mortalidad en este grupo es veintiséis veces más grande que en niños nacidos a término.Este trabajo presentará en su primera parte una actualización de los conceptos más recientes sobre el tema. La segunda parte estará dedicada a la revisión estadística de 215 nacimientos prematuros consecutivos sobre un período de dos años en el Centro Médico de la Universidad de Kansas, Estados Unidos de América.

Measuring Adolescent Birth Trauma: Development, Adaptation, and Evaluation of the Psychometric Properties for the Childbirth Trauma Index
Authors: Anderson Cheryl A. , Connolly John P.
Published: July 2020

Background and Purpose

Childbirth can have negative consequences; however, measurement tools to assess this event are limited; and none consider the adolescent's birth. This study assessed the psychometric properties of the childbirth trauma index (CTI).

Methods

Construct validity and reliability of the CTI was assessed via a field test involving 160 adolescents 3 days postpartum.

Results

A modified 8-item version of the original CTI exhibited acceptable construct validity and reliability criteria. The CTI was found to link with birth appraisal, but not subjective distress measurements.

Conclusions

The CTI may be a more robust means of assessing birth appraisal than use of single-item measures. Recommendations for practice suggest use of the modified CTI to assess birth appraisal, or use in combination with single-item rating scales
The Effects of Self-Management Interventions on the Health Outcomes of Individuals With Chronic Kidney Disease After Critical Illness: An Integrative Review
Authors: Yau Claudia Leung Ho , Chun Janita Chau Pak
Published: July 2020

Background: Self-management is a crucial step towards achieving better physical and mental well-being and a better health-related quality of life for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite the high prevalence of CKD and the significant burdens faced by the individuals with CKD, their caregivers, and healthcare systems, very few studies have explored CKD and its consequences compared to other chronic diseases. Objective: To synthesize and present the best available evidence on the effectiveness of CKD self-management interventions in terms of the biomedical, psychosocial, and behavioral aspects of health outcomes. Methods: Three electronic English-language literature databases were searched from inceptions to March 2018. Two reviewers independently selected articles according to pre-specified criteria, critically appraised and extracted data from relevant research. Narrative summaries were presented because the interventions and study features of the included articles were heterogeneous. Results: Of the five included articles, three were interventional and two were systematic reviews. Effective self-management interventions have beneficial effects on biomedical outcomes such as blood pressure, psychosocial outcomes such as quality of life and self-efficacy, and behavioral outcomes such as CKD knowledge, self-management techniques, and adherence to self-care regimens and treatments. Conclusions: A self-management program that could provide better education and guidance for individuals with CKD is needed, as this would improve the provision of resources and preparations for foreseeable and avoidable CKD complications. The findings from the included articles demonstrate that limited amount of research has focused on CKD management. Additional randomized controlled trials that compare interventions with usual care are needed to determine the efficacy of CKD self-management programs.

Jednostka, historia i kosmos. Obłok Magellana Stanisława Lema w kontekście przemian świadomości literackiej doby odwilży
Authors: Dudziński Robert
Published: July 2020

The article is an attempt to read the novel of Stanisław Lem The Magellanic Cloud [Obłok Magellana] in the context of processes characteristic of the beginnings of the post-Stalinist thaw, associated with attempts to discuss with the dogmas of socialist realism. Three main aspects of the novel can be indicated in which there are traces of this discussion. Firstly, in placing the problems of the human individual in the center of the work’s interest — their psyche, feelings and reactions. Secondly, in the revision of Marxist philosophy. Thirdly, in reaching for the achievements of exis-tentialism. Such an interpretation of The Magellanic Cloud allows for its inclusion in the literature of the early thaw stage, in which socialist realist elements were combined with new, doctrine-disin-tegrating threads.
Supersystemy rozrywkowe: metodyka i metodologia badań. Propozycja
Authors: Lichański Jakub
Published: July 2020

The problem that we want to investigate in this article is a phenomenon that, for various re-searchers, including Marsh Kinder, we call super entertainment systems. It is about a multitude of uses or the existence of not only figures, but also a certain universe — not necessarily taken from popular culture, resp. literature — which will then be introduced as elements or an intertextual net-work, or rather — become elements in various entertainment systems. They can be:

Classic systems, such as classic printed forms,II. Films, including amateur productions and disseminated on the Internet,III. Different types of games ranging from RPG to video games,IV. Different types of theatrical or paratheatrical forms,V. Any gadgets related to the above-mentioned elements,VI. Also — manifestations of fanatic creativity (in any form),VII. Musical forms.

The problems that researchers face are related to the following:

Can the above-mentioned problems be reduced to a simpler form of the question about the form of the media message?

Is it about the so-called old media and new media and media convergence?

What and how the roles of the sender/author and the recipient should be determined, and whether such a division is correct (NB: L. Manovich introduces the notions of the creator and consumer, whether the division into a passive/active/participating recipient is important).

The problems that lie ahead are twofold:First of all — methodical issues concerning the methodology of description and research of the aforementioned phenomena,Secondly — methodological problems, among which the basic problem appears: can we define one approach to the above-mentioned issues or there will be a multiplicity of methodologies here? In the latter case, you will need to find a way/method to compare test results.
Kosmos zmodyfikowany — wybrane gry symulacyjne w kontekście kultury uczestnictwa
Authors: Kochanowicz Rafał
Published: July 2020

Lawrence Lessig — in the book titled Remix — indirectly defined most of the dependencies that today determine the dimension and nature of modding related to games. Mods can be considered an eloquent example of Read/ Write culture. Players are not only consumers of digital games, but creators who exert more and more influence on the character of contemporary popular culture. The examples discussed in the article show three aspects of modding. The first example, concerning the modification of XWA, shows that the re-actualisation (modding) of the original text does not de-grade it — on the contrary — it prolongs its functioning and confirms its culture-forming character. The second example — related to the X-Universe series of games — is a testimony to the cooper-ation of professional programmers and modders, in turn, is a testimony to prosumption (modding), which develops the text of culture also thanks to the “democratisation of creation tools”. The authors (Egosoft) intentionally provide script editors with, even those rather unfamiliar with programming, players can introduce their own solutions into the virtual environment and test the functionality of their ideas. In turn, the history and culture-creating dimension of Discovery Freelancer makes it clear that even the most comprehensive mods are not competing with the original text — they remain concretisation of its (presupposed) potential.
Game lore — dodatek, podstawa i „granica” supersystemów
Authors: Kochanowicz Rafał
Published: July 2020

The term “game lore” does not have its exact equivalent in Polish. However, it remains an important manifestation of the reception of computer games. It is also an example of how computer games are initiated or supplemented by entertainment systems operating in the field of popular culture. Research on game lore can provide information that parts of the tradition of man living in times dominated by digital technology, continues to perpetuate and update, and why these, and not others. Basically, one can distinguish three main types of game lore. The first — as a complement to the entertainment superstructure — concerns cases when game developers reach the known universe (for example LOTRO) — and develop the ideas of the author (J.R.R. Tolkien). The second — as the basis of the new supersystem — is associated with the original ideas of programmers who create a new universe (for example, the Warcraft series, The Elder Scrolls). The third example — connect-ed with the evolution of the new universe and the supersystem in new and autonomous lore (for example League of Legend).
Wędrując z TARDIS przez „rozrywkowe supersystemy” albo jak niebieska budka policyjna ratuje (?) badaczy z opresji
Authors: Nieracka Agnieszka
Published: July 2020

Contemporary reflection upon the category of entertainment supersystem proposed by Marsha Kinder can be combined with the concept of transmedia storytelling (Henry Jenkins) applied in numerous academic publications in various contexts and understandings. The subject of the author’s reflection is the functioning of the BBC TV series, Doctor Who, and its media extensions. This BBC TV series is considered to be the most complex model example of transmedia storytelling. Both the classic series (1963–1989) and the 2005 Doctor Who reboot make researchers conduct a textual an-alysis which is inextricably linked to the research on television production practices. The new series of Doctor Who’s adventures can be best described by the culture of convergence and its practices. While tracing the development of the brand, its historic and contemporary contexts inscribed in British cultural studies, as well as relations of the anchor product with the categories of transmed-iality and remediation — the author concludes that nowadays studying supersystems requires the application of much more complex research tools.

The contemporary market of books for children and teenagers, despite observable short-term periods of decline, is still one of the most stable and profitable segments of the Polish publishing and book market as publishing industry reports show. Publishing houses obtain guaranteed profits first of all from global bestsellers targeted both at the youngest readers and at teenagers. The present article discusses the phenomenon of branding, i.e. the creation of global brands in the sector of books for young readers. Branding has now become an important instrument of international book marketing, while the so-called brand policy occupies a significant position in the marketing tactics of publishers operating in the segment of books for young readers. The observation of the media in the worldwide and domestic market allows us to see a ten-dency towards the professionalisation of children’s culinary culture. A manifestation of this phenom-enon is inter alia the development of the toy industry associated with the manufacture of culinary accessories, as well as the annexation of the media space reserved for children and the young. Within it, we can notice the multiplication of culinary TV programmes, while more and more Internet culin-ary projects, little chef online games, and applications for mobile devices are becoming available. A culinary “thematic turn” is also taking place in the book market for children and young people. After 1989, impressive qualitative and quantitative changes took place in the cookbook segment for the youngest readers. This evolution covered their new thematic variants and editorial styles, as well as media formats (culinary audiobooks and e-books), which reflected the global fash-ions and ideas characteristic of consumer culture, as well as evidenced the culinary emancipation of the youngest. The report will show diverse variants of present-day cookbooks for young readers linked with children’s entertainment supersystems.
„From window cleaner to cardinal”: The story of an extraordinary media image
Authors: Rusin Dybalska Renata
Published: July 2020

The aim of this study is to present the story behind the media image recounting the final months in the life of the former primate of the Czech Republic, cardinal Miloslav Vlk. The analyses presented in this study are grounded in a corpus of texts consisting of 63 press articles published by Czech national dailies between 23 January and 26 March 2017. The image recreated on their basis has become extraordinary not only due to the fact of its very existence within the perception of the world promoted by Czech media, but also because of the way it was constructed and presented to the audience. One must not underestimate the role of the main protagonist of the analyzed image, who became one of its authors himself.
Wojna w Iraku oczami polskich i czeskich reporterów na przykładzie tekstów Pawła Smoleńskiego, Mariusza Zawadzkiego, Michala Kubala, Františka Šulca i Barbory Šámalovej

The war in Iraq through the eyes of Polish and Czech reporters: The example of texts by Paweł Smoleński, Mariusz Zawadzki, Michal Kubal, František Šulc and Barbora ŠámalováThis paper analyzes three reportage books focusing on the war in Iraq in 2003. Two reportages are Polish, the authors of the third book are Czech journalists. Paweł Smoleński focuses primarily on the knowledge of Iraqi culture and mentality in the face of building a new Iraq after the fall of Saddam Hussein. The armed conflict itself remains somewhat in the background of the reporter’s interest. Smoleński’s texts are closest to so-called literary coverage. Mariusz Zawadzki as an embedded correspondent — among other things — accompanied U.S. troops to cover combat operations. The texts of Czech reporters, some of which were in Iraq since the very beginning, are closer to the so-called “feature”. In addition, they are stylized as a reporter quasi-diary.

Floods are a regularly occurring form of natural disaster in Thailand. They commonly occur during the monsoon season. Although the Chao Phraya River basin is strategically important because it accommodates several primary sectors that form the backbone of the Thai economy, it is vulnerable to flooding. The causes of flooding in this basin are both natural and human-induced. Climate and land-use changes are believed to be factors that elevated the severity of recent flood events. In 2011, Thailand suffered the worst floods in half a century; this is ranked as among the top five costliest natural disaster events in modern history. Thailand has developed a number of structural and non-structural measures to prevent devastating flood impacts. This paper reviews the flood management and adaptation measures within the Chao Phraya River basin, serving as a stepping stone towards sustainability.

In every disaster, problems of information and communication distribution always occur. The communication channel is very dependent on various supporting facilities. Electricity, transmitter towers, broadcasting stations, to human resources. In two big disasters in Indonesia in 2018: the Lombok earthquake; and the earthquake, tsunami and liquefaction in Palu, there were issues of the information and communication channels. Local people do not know the conditions that occur in their area and the situation of their families. While outsiders, the government, and rescue teams did not get detailed information from the affected areas. In countries with high intensity of natural disasters, emergency broadcasting policies have been long practiced. The simplest device for emergency broadcasting is radio. This kind of media can immediately air with simple facilities. Regardless, the initiative of emergency radio has not yet adopted into regulation in Indonesia. Therefore, the emergency radio initiator limited to a handful of organization like in Lombok earthquake. Conversely in Palu disaster, there was a Ministerial Decree of Information and Communication Ministry Number 773/2018 (KM 773), regulation that simplify access to radio frequency. Using comparative method, this research examined these two disasters to analyze the differences of emergency radio practices. Only 1.5 months away and similar location features, the emergency radios initiation differ in several aspects related subjects that regulated in this KM. The result shows that this KM can broaden all aspects of emergency broadcasting radio. Although, the KM unable to shorten the time of emergency radio implementation. Regulation change only limited to frequency access. A broader regulation change is needed to support the practice of emergency radio.
