Due to the rapid development of mobile technologies, nowadays mobile devices are not expensive and almost every person can easily possess a mobile device. This fact boosts investments in mobile applications, among which are the person-to-person mobile payment applications. These applications are pretty sensitive in that they are related to monetary transactions, thus involving strict security and privacy requirements. To this purpose, we propose a secure protocol leveraging online social network connections to help users enforce their trust preferences locally to make a money transfer. The protocol exploits mobile ad-hoc network as a communication means. To improve the network performance by still preserving data security and user privacy, we also propose some optimization strategies to decrease the number of tokensets sent over mobile ad-hoc network. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal.

In Iran, social media platforms have become powerful tools for political and interpersonal communication. They open new ways for their users, particularly women, to negotiate their intimate relationships with their family, (potential) partners or friends. Intimacy online is usually achieved through reciprocal visual and textual self-disclosure, which in turn may lead to face-to-face encounters. For Muslim Iranian women, social media allows room for self-expression, a way to combat loneliness and create meaningful relationships with like-minded people. However, at the same time, women are confronted by a number of risks associated with social media interaction in Iran, such as censorship, online (sexual) harassment, or cybercrime. Based on in-depth interviews and participant observation with Muslim Iranian women in Tehran, this paper explores the extent to which social media platforms (blogs, Facebook and dating sites) have created both challenges and opportunities for them by transf...

El Historicismo reinventó las tradiciones artísticas de los países europeos para configurar visualmente las identidades nacionales, con el propósito añadido de vestir las artes industriales para hacerlas competitivas. En el seno del Historicismo se libró también el debate entre la tradición y la modernidad. Fue un fenómeno muy amplio en el que buscaron referencias diferentes opciones ideológicas, filosóficas y políticas, siempre dentro del ámbito de la burguesía, que dieron distintas soluciones al reto de construir la Europa de la Revolución burguesa. Este artículo examina el fenómeno en España.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a vital construct in the banking industry due to its influence on brand credibility, positive word of mouth, and repeat purchases. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of the three main dimensions of corporate social responsibility on patronage intentions through the mediating role of brand credibility. Based on a sample of (N = 315) customers in Jordan's banking sector, structural equation modelling revealed that all of the proposed hypotheses were supported, proving that CSR dimensions have a significant influence on brand credibility and patronage intentions. Additionally, a mediating influence was found for brand credibility on the path between CSR and patronage intentions. Implications for managers are also provided.

In the last few years, affect has entered the field of politics through both the media and political actors themselves. This article is based on the hypothesis that the images of affect that illustrate contemporary political narratives in the media reflect different visual motifs which are linked to an iconographic tradition that began in the art world. Through the iconographic analysis of images published in the three newspapers in Spain with the largest general readership (El País, El Mundo, and La Vanguardia) from 2011 to 2017, this article identifies three visual motifs of affect: the handshake, the hug, and the kiss. The study of these motifs highlights the survival of certain forms of emotion that are easily recognisable and engage with a longstanding iconographic tradition. At the same time, the article inquiries into the meanings derived from these iconographies and their implications on the representation of politics and of political leaders. The proliferation of motifs of ...

Izbjeglička i migrantska zbivanja 2015. teme su koje su dominirale medijima. Medijskim uokviravanjem, selekcijom i isticanjem nekih vidova percipirane stvarnosti, oblikovan je način izvještavanja koji je mogao imati utjecaja i na percepciju javnosti. Iako postoje istraživanja koja se bave mjerenjima stavova stanovništva prema imigrantima, rjeđe su analize sadržaja medija. Rad ima za cilj istražiti prisutnost interpretacijskih okvira kroz izvještavanje o izbjegličkoj krizi u Hrvatskoj u trajanju od dva tjedna: prvom tjednu izbjegličke krize u Hrvatskoj te tjednu nakon terorističkih napada u Parizu, na uzorku od 702 članka u četiri hrvatska medija. S obzirom na uočene obrasce u medijskom izvještavanju (ponavljanje fotografija ranjivih skupina, osobne priče izbjeglica, naglašavanje hrvatskog prijateljskog i humanitarnog pristupa) postavljena su istraživačka pitanja: jesu li izbjeglice u većini članaka prikazane kroz pozitivan okvir kao žrtve; je li Hrvatska u većini tekstova prikazana kroz okvir humanosti i prijateljstva; postoje li odstupanja u izvještavanju uslijed izvanrednih događanja? Ključne riječi: framing, uokviravanje, izbjeglice, migranti, analiza sadržaja Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk

Penyebaran informasi pada saat bencana alam sering kali dibarengi dengan kepanikan dan minimnya verifikasi. Kesesatan dalam penalaran (logical fallacies) menjadi salah satu penyebab utama tersebarnya informasi yang keliru, yang pada akhirnya menyesatkan masyarakat. Tulisan ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis kesesatan dalam penalaran yang muncul dalam kasus penyebaran hoaks saat erupsi Gunung Semeru pada tahun 2021. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan studi pustaka, ditemukan bahwa hoaks yang tersebar banyak memuat appeal to fear, false cause, dan bandwagon. Kesesatan ini berdampak pada terbentuknya opini yang keliru serta keputusan yang irasional. Kajian ini juga mengeksplorasi bagaimana fallacy dapat dimanfaatkan oleh aktor tertentu untuk agenda politik, ekonomi, maupun ideologis, serta menekankan pentingnya literasi logika sebagai bagian dari kesiapsiagaan bencana.

2025, The Narrative of Hungarian Digital Ethnography and Anthropology: A Literature Review

The Narrative of Hungarian Digital Ethnography and Anthropology: A Literature Review Résumé This article provides a comprehensive overview of emerging research trajectories in Hungarian digital ethnography, emphasizing methodological innovations and culturally contextualized studies. It identifies five key thematic directions: multimodal methods incorporating VR and AR technologies; digital identity politics shaped by generational and regional factors; ethnographic investigations of artificial intelligence and algorithmic systems; the transformation of social practices and labor in the post-pandemic digital landscape; and critical data studies focusing on governance, education, and social inclusion. Drawing on recent Hungarian scholarly contributions, the paper situates these developments within broader debates on digital culture and social change, highlighting the unique sociocultural fabric of Hungary. It argues for continued interdisciplinary and reflexive inquiry to deepen understanding of digitally mediated identities and power structures.

This study analyzes the two social networks: Facebook and Twitter and explores the role of social networks in political campaigns during general elections in Pakistan which were held on 25 th of July, 2018. Through social media, all main parties focused to campaign with the use of social media and traditional campaigns. During the elections campaign, political parties had tried to get more coverage in news and advertisements for changing the mind of the voters. This research adopted a qualitative approach with the help of secondary sources. Notably Facebook and Twitter played an important role in 2018 elections. People used internet and observed campaign on regular basis. Social media showed first-class competitors or party aspects, not just a favorable part. By analyzing the data, it was revealed that mostly Facebook users were inclined towards PML-N; while, majority Twitter users were found more inclined towards PTI.

2025, Waspadai Sesat Pikir Dibalik Misinformasi Vaksin COVID-19

Esai ini menyoroti ancaman misinformasi seputar vaksin COVID-19 di platform digital seperti TikTok, yang dipenuhi dengan berbagai bentuk sesat pikir atau logical fallacy. Berbagai bentuk kekeliruan logika seperti ad hominem, false cause, appeal to fear, dan lainnya kerap digunakan untuk mempengaruhi opini publik dan menurunkan kepercayaan terhadap vaksin. Akibatnya, partisipasi vaksinasi menurun, kepercayaan pada institusi kesehatan terganggu, dan upaya pengendalian pandemi menjadi terhambat. Selain itu, esai ini juga menekankan pentingnya berpikir kritis, literasi digital, serta penyediaan informasi yang ilmiah dan dapat dipercaya sebagai solusi jangka panjang dalam melawan misinformasi dan menjaga kesehatan masyarakat.

Desde la reflexión teórica, este trabajo evidencia que el ecosistema comunicacional y digital actual es endógeno y sistémicamente desinformativo, pues se ha convertido paulatinamente en un escenario sobresaturador e infoxicador, atravesado por una dinámica de mediamorfosis, en la que los medios tradicionales buscan competir por la preferencia de la audiencia frente al abanico de propuestas digitales en razón de su subsistencia económica, generalmente intentando difundir contenidos pseudoinformativos de gran valor límbico, pero carente de utilidad en el proceso de toma de decisiones. Así, el presente artículo busca analizar la precitada problemática a través de la revisión de distintas contribuciones académicas multidisciplinares para posteriormente referir aquellas que desde el seno de las teorías de la alfabetización mediática, digital e informacional contribuyen con recomendaciones y estratagemas pragmáticas para hacerle frente a la situación. El trabajo se centra en la sociedad m...

Pandemi COVID-19 tidak hanya menimbulkan krisis kesehatan global, tetapi juga memunculkan tantangan sosial berupa disinformasi, khususnya terkait vaksinasi. Di Indonesia, penyebaran informasi palsu mengenai vaksin COVID-19 di media sosial telah menghambat upaya pemerintah dalam mencapai kekebalan kelompok. Masyarakat kerap kali mempercayai narasi yang tidak berdasarkan bukti ilmiah, seperti klaim bahwa vaksin menyebabkan infertilitas atau mengandung microchip. Untuk memahami fenomena ini, pendekatan filsafat melalui teori-teori kebenaran menjadi relevan. Esai ini mengkaji penerapan teori korespondensi, koherensi, pragmatis, dan performatif untuk menjelaskan bagaimana masyarakat Indonesia memaknai informasi tentang vaksinasi. Teori korespondensi menyoroti pentingnya kesesuaian klaim vaksin dengan fakta ilmiah. Teori koherensi menekankan kecenderungan masyarakat untuk mempercayai informasi yang konsisten dengan keyakinan sebelumnya. Sementara itu, teori pragmatis melihat kebenaran berdasarkan manfaat praktis vaksin bagi kehidupan sosial, dan teori performatif menyoroti pengaruh tokoh yang dipercaya dalam membentuk persepsi publik. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebenaran tidak hanya bersifat objektif, tetapi juga terbentuk melalui konteks sosial dan budaya. Dengan demikian, strategi komunikasi kesehatan yang efektif harus memadukan pendekatan ilmiah dan filosofis, serta melibatkan tokoh masyarakat dan media untuk membangun literasi informasi. Pendekatan ini penting dalam merespons disinformasi dan memperkuat ketahanan masyarakat terhadap krisis informasi, demi menciptakan masyarakat yang sehat secara fisik, rasional secara intelektual, dan tangguh secara sosial.

Dajjal. Satu kata yang mampu mengguncang hati orang-orang beriman. Dalam pelajaran akhir zaman, tidak ada satu makhluk pun yang disebut Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam lebih dahsyat fitnahnya selain Dajjal. Ia bukan sekadar tokoh antagonis mitologis dalam kisah keagamaan. Ia adalah kenyataan masa depan, yang kepastiannya ditegaskan dalam ratusan hadis shahih. Namun, siapa sebenarnya Dajjal? Apa hakikatnya? Apakah ia simbol, sistem, atau benarbenar sosok manusia hidup yang akan muncul? Bab pertama ini akan mengajak kita menyelami hakikat Dajjal sebagaimana dijelaskan dalam sumber-sumber Islam utama, terutama hadis-hadis Nabi, serta penafsiran para ulama sepanjang sejarah. Dengan pendekatan ilmiah yang disajikan secara naratif, kita akan menggali bagaimana umat Islam memahami figur paling menakutkan ini dan apa implikasinya bagi kita hari ini. Di tengah era informasi yang sarat manipulasi dan dominasi sistem global yang menjauhkan manusia dari nilai-nilai ilahiah, memahami konsep Dajjal menjadi semakin relevan. Ia bukan sekadar ancaman masa depan, tetapi refleksi dari kebobrokan dunia hari ini. Secara etimologis, kata "Dajjal" berasal dari akar kata Arab "dajala" yang berarti "menutupi" atau "menyembunyikan kebenaran dengan kebatilan". Dari sini muncul istilah "dajjal" sebagai penipu ulung, yang menyelimuti kebohongan dengan kemasan kebenaran. Dalam pengertian lain, dajjala juga berarti menebar fitnah dan kekacauan. Dalam Lisan al-'Arab, disebutkan bahwa kata "dajala" juga bermakna "menutupi sesuatu dengan lapisan yang menipu", seperti menutupi unta dengan aspal agar tampak sehat. Maka, Dajjal adalah figur yang menipu umat manusia dengan menyelimuti kebatilan dalam kemasan kebenaran. Dalam banyak hadis, ia disebut sebagai "Al-Masih ad-Dajjal"-Mesias Palsu-karena ia meniru figur Isa Al-Masih, yang dijanjikan akan kembali di akhir zaman. Namun, alih-alih membawa petunjuk, ia membawa kebohongan, kekuasaan palsu, dan ujian keimanan paling besar sepanjang sejarah manusia. Tidak ada fitnah yang lebih sering disebut oleh Rasulullah selain Dajjal. Dalam Shahih Muslim, Rasulullah bersabda: "Tidak ada makhluk sejak Adam diciptakan hingga datangnya hari kiamat yang fitnahnya lebih besar dari fitnah Dajjal." (HR. Muslim) Dalam riwayat Abu Dawud, Rasulullah bersabda: "Barang siapa menghafal sepuluh ayat pertama dari surat Al-Kahfi, maka ia akan terlindungi dari fitnah Dajjal." (HR. Abu Dawud) Hadis-hadis menyebutkan bahwa Dajjal adalah seorang manusia dari keturunan Adam. Ia bermata satu, dengan mata kanan seperti buah anggur yang busuk. Ia mampu melakukan keajaiban-keajaiban yang membuat orang takjub: menghidupkan orang mati (dengan izin Allah), menurunkan hujan, mengeluarkan kekayaan bumi, dan memaksa orang untuk mengakuinya sebagai tuhan. Ia akan muncul dari arah Timur, dari Khurasan atau sebuah pulau di timur Jazirah Arab. Ia akan menjelajahi bumi selama 40 hari-yang hari pertamanya seperti setahun, hari keduanya seperti sebulan, dan seterusnya-hingga akhirnya dibunuh oleh Nabi Isa AS di dekat Gerbang Lud (Lod, Palestina). Pertanyaan yang kerap muncul dalam kajian kontemporer adalah: apakah Dajjal itu manusia hidup yang akan muncul di masa depan, ataukah simbol dari sistem kekuasaan sesat dan kebohongan global? Sebagian ulama salaf dan mayoritas ahli hadis meyakini bahwa Dajjal adalah makhluk hidup yang nyata, manusia dari jenis bani Adam, namun memiliki kekuatan luar biasa sebagai bentuk ujian keimanan. Ini sesuai dengan banyak hadis yang menjelaskan ciri fisik dan gerakan Dajjal secara literal. Namun, sebagian cendekiawan modern memandang bahwa "fitnah Dajjal" juga bisa dimaknai sebagai sistem: dominasi kapitalisme riba, teknologi pengawasan total, dan propaganda global yang menyesatkan umat manusia dari tauhid. Penulis kontemporer seperti Sayyid Qutb dalam Fi Zilalil Qur'an dan Imran Hosein sering menekankan bahwa sistem riba global, penguasaan teknologi, dan pencucian otak massal adalah manifestasi sistemik dari fitnah Dajjal yang sedang berlangsung. Bisa jadi, keduanya benar. Bahwa Dajjal sebagai sosok akan muncul, tetapi ia juga akan mewarisi dan menguasai sistem dunia yang telah lebih dulu disiapkan oleh kekuatan batil.

Makalah ini mengeksplorasi dua pendekatan utama yang diyakini sebagai bagian dari konspirasi global dalam rangka menyambut kedatangan Al-Masih ad-Dajjal (Antikristus): jalur teknologi (chip, nanobot, vaksin mRNA) dan jalur spiritual (aktivasi kundalini, pencerahan New Age). Dengan menggunakan pendekatan konspiratif berbasis analisis narasi, dokumen, dan pandangan tokoh-tokoh seperti Serge Monast, makalah ini menunjukkan bahwa kedua jalur tersebut sejatinya mengarah pada satu tujuan: membentuk sistem kontrol global yang menjauhkan manusia dari kebenaran transendental. Penelitian ini mengkaji bagaimana integrasi tubuh manusia ke dalam sistem digital serta penyelarasan spiritual palsu dapat menjadi alat efektif bagi pembentukan New World Order (NWO).

Kratka povijest hrvatskog tiskanog novinstva Summary ''In the written histories of (Croatian) politics and literature, journalism is not well represented. Journalism in our region has often been a bit of an abject profession. In the past, other professions would eye journalists as unfi nished scholars, impractical, and a bit too adventurous-the exact opposite of positions in civil callings, prestigious in rank and fi le.'' 1 Of the little research done on the history of the Croatian press, Josip Horvat 2 and Boždar Novak 3 have been the most thorough; they have shown many of the complexities of Croatian press history. Through its development, journalism in many countries -including Croatia -has become the "Fourth Estate,'' but the path taken to this designation has not been an easy one. Croatian' s young people who choose journalism as a profession today do not know about these struggles. This paper attempts to briefl y explore the historical movements and roots of Croatian journalism.

The quality of communication between the midwife and women who are in labour is important in midwifery care. The study sought to investigate the communication between midwives and women-in-labour at the Mamprobi Polyclinic in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Being a qualitative study set on a bedrock of a case study design, the main focus was to obtain rich insights into how they communicate during the labour process. Using Rhetorical Sensitivity and the Interaction-Process analysis theories, a total of 6 women-in-labour and 2 midwives participated in the study. The findings from the study revealed that midwives used diversion therapy to ward client's minds off excruciating labour pains. They also used proxies and gestures to relay information to clients in cases where they were confronted with communication challenges. Women-in-labour were also counselled on self-care and care of baby while open and close-ended questions were used by midwives to elicit information from women in order to provide optimal care. Both verbal and nonverbal means of communication were used by women-in-labour to convey messages to midwives for medical attention. What emerged seemed to suggest that abusive communicative behaviour was predominant in the labour ward. However, midwives consider their communicative behaviours as preventive measures that facilitate safe delivery.

This article which employs descriptive and phenomenological study sought to establish an understanding of local gold and silversmiths on the uses of dies and punches in the production of jewellery. The study reveals that gold and silversmiths in Kumasi were not able to explore their ideas using embossing methods because they relied solely on the imported dome blocks and metal punches which could only produce domes and half dome forms which are used for onwards use as pendants, earrings and necklace. It also brought to light that prices of precious metals for jewellery is a major factor in pricing jewellery products but the adaptation of appropriate methods such as the making and usage of dies and punches in the studio practice would contribute to the reduction of overall cost of the end product. Local gold and silversmiths should be trained to make their own dies and punches to reduce their production cost.

2025, Kutukilah Allahmu dan Matilah: Ragam Teologi Publik tentang Sakit dan Penyakit

Dekade terakhir ini wacana kesehatan tumbuh subur di kalangan warganet Indonesia, orang-orang berbagi tips dan nasehat kesehatan. Tren ini ditingkahi munculnya layanan dokter daring, pakar kebugaran, iklan-iklan produk kesehatan, suplemen, makanan organik, dan seterusnya. Jargon kesehatan dan pengobatan juga semakin merasuk dalam percakapan sehari hari, politik, agama, dan medsos seperti “toksik,” “viral,” “healing,” “penodaan,” “anti-Sepilis,” dan moto kota/kabupaten, seperti Beriman (“bersih, indah, nyaman”); mengaitkan agama dan kesehatan. Penggunaan istilah-istilah kesehatan ini tentu menunjukkan kekayaan bahasa, tetapi juga konotatif, transference, yang berdampak pihak-pihak tertentu secara fisik dan moral, khususnya kelompok marginal seperti minoritas agama, LGBT, dan lainnya, sebagai pihak yang menganggu persepsi masyarakat higienis. Tulisan ini mengeksplorasi kondisi tersebut dengan titik berangkat topik Hamba yang Menderita (Yes. 52:13-53:12). Teks dilihat sebagai alibi, potensi dan opening membangun teologi baru, lebih tepatnya, teopoetika di masa yang beranjak perlahan amnesia sekaligus amnestik pengalaman dan ingatan pandemi. Beberapa gagasan akan dieksplorasi seperti pharmakos (kambing hitam) dalam bingkai teori mimetik dan kambing hitam Girard, governmentalitas Foucault, proteofobia Bauman, maupun gagasan Allah yang pathos dari Heschel.

Short videos, also known as micro-videos, have emerged as a platform for sharing ideas, experiences, and life events on online social networks. This paper shares preliminary results of a study involving students from two universities who created six-second videos using the Vine mobile app to explain or illustrate technology concepts. An analysis of their videos shows that the six-second constraint often inspires creativity and critical thinking, as students need to carefully consider the message they wish to convey, and how they can do so effectively in a compelling micro-video. The creation of such videos provides a way to demonstrate student learning.

Naturally, election grants an eligible electorate liberty to franchise. But the absence of restraint enables some politicians to influence voters. The injustice yielded in the non-application of the rule of the electoral law to an outcome of an electoral results. Nevertheless, vote buying is prohibited in Nigeria by Article 130 of the Electoral Act 2010 and in section VIII (e) of the 2018 Revised Code of Conduct for Political Parties. The Objectives examined the impacts of the high rate of poverty, the role of law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system, and the economic problems. Mixed-method design was employed for the study. The target population for this study was 5,000, which consists of the entire group of potential voters in Akure South District in Ondo state who were 18 years and above. Five (5) communities or electoral areas in the district were selected for the study. These communities were Gbogi, Oke-Aro, Oshodi, Owode, and Isolo. A sample size of Three hundred (300) respondents was chosen. 200 questionnaires were administered and 100 respondents selected for the interviews. Purposive sampling techniques were employed to select the district, communities and respondents for the study. Qualitative data were analysed through content analysis, while quantitative data went through simple percentage. Findings revealed among other things that items were used to buy votes. These include Umbrella, cloths, Rice, money, outboard motors, salt, and party branded items. We therefore, recommend that the law enforcement agencies should arrest defaulters of the electoral law and prosecute them.

of University of Lagos, Nigeria. It was found that the level of ICT literacy skills among the undergraduate students of the University of Lagos was relatively high. Majority of the students in the University of Lagos indicated that they acquired the ICT literacy skills mostly through self-study (users’ guide), formal education, by trial and error method, as well as assistance from their colleagues. There was no significant relationship between ICT literacy skills and information use by the undergraduate students. Likewise, no significant relationship existed between the acquisition of ICT literacy skills and use of information by the undergraduate students. The study recommended among others that the university should periodically organize ICT literacy programmes to improve on students’ ICT literacy skills for effective accessibility of the available ICT facilities like the internet and e-resources for productive information use.

2025, Exploring Information Credibility in Traditional Media Websites and News Portals

igital media transmits information faster than traditional media, but it is often met with skepticism regarding its credibility. As digital media becomes increasingly dominant, it is crucial to assess the credibility of its information. This paper presents a study that evaluates the credibility of information on traditional media websites and news portals among journalism and communication university students. A survey of 253 students from seven different journalism and communication departments examines factors influencing media credibility, including medium dependency, interactivity, transparency, argument strength, personal expertise, and information quality. The study employs various machine learning models to validate its findings, showing that traditional media websites are perceived as more credible than news portals, with argument strength and information quality being the most significant contributors to the credibility of information.

Politics marketing in recent years has attracted increasing attention from politicians all over the world, though not much from academia. Politics is about power and the distribution of scarce resources has created more politics marketing. For a third world economy like, Nigeria the challenges are enormous, and can play a major role on how good leaders can be elected and invariably, how scarce resources of the nation are distributed to achieve voter/consumer satisfaction and overall economic development. The paper looked at politics marketing from the perspective of more developed economies. The model of a market-oriented party thus involves: use of market intelligence; adaptation of behavior; organizational implementation; and conveyance of new behavior, and its implications for Nigeria. The paper also examined evolution and development of party politics in Nigeria. The political structure, with ethnic and religious slant, were handed over by the British Colonial masters, leading t...

While the rise in youth migration from Nigeria, popularly termed 'Jápa', has become increasingly visible on social media, the phenomenon itself predates digital platforms and is rooted in longstanding socioeconomic challenges. This growing trend reflects a significant shift in how digital narratives influence individual choices and national migration patterns. This study investigates how social media representations of migration and returns shape perceptions, decisions, and discourse among Nigerian youths. A quantitative survey design was adopted, with data collected from 394 respondents across Ogun State, Nigeria, selected through a multistage sampling technique using the 2025 estimated population projection figures of 6,150,000. A structured questionnaire served as the primary instrument, and data were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings reveal that, although socioeconomic conditions are the main drivers of migration, social media reinforces migration aspirations by amplifying idealised 'Japa' narratives and underrepresenting the complexities of return, which are often portrayed with frustration and disillusionment. The study also found that social media is used to critique government migration policies, highlighting its role in shaping public discourse. These findings support Everett Lee's push-pull theory, which acknowledges that both structural realities and mediated perceptions influence migration choices. It concludes that addressing the 'Japa' phenomenon requires not only strategic communication but also comprehensive policies that create jobs, improve living standards, and support returnees. The study recommends promoting balanced digital narratives, strengthening reintegration frameworks, enhancing youth media literacy, and investing in infrastructure to reduce the push factors sustaining migration.

This study examines the effect of social media advocacy on green awareness sustainable practices in Ijebu North Local Government Area, Ogun State. The objectives of the study are to identify the most impactful social media platforms and content types, assess the effectiveness of social media campaigns, examine the influence on public behaviour, and evaluate the role of social media in shaping environmental policies and advocacy efforts. The study adopted survey research design with a population of 284,336 and a sample size of 380, determined using Cochran's formula at 95% confidence level. Stratified random sampling technique was employed with a structured questionnaire as the research instrument. The study found out that WhatsApp and Facebook are the most effective platforms, with videos and documentaries being the most influential content types. Social media campaigns were found to be highly effective in raising environmental awareness across various demographic groups, particularly among younger respondents. The study concludes that social media significantly impacts public behaviour and the adoption of sustainable practices. The study recommends leveraging popular social media platforms for targeted campaigns, focusing on high-quality, relevant and frequent content, and enhancing research and investments in social media's role in environmental advocacy.

The 21st century has witnessed diverse technological advancement, part of which is the introduction of social media, which has permeated almost all areas of human endeavour, including politics. The 2016 American presidential elections in particular have become one of the most divisive trajectories because the social media became, in the hands of the two main candidates, Hillary and Trump, an effective tool of spreading hate, mischief and misinformation. Generally, politicians have swerved from the use of traditional media (broadcast and print) to the use of social media to car ry out their political ambition. This paper examines the role of social media in the awareness, participation, and mobilizing electorates during the 2016 presidential election. The method of analysis is descriptive and the data are drawn from secondary literature. One of the major challenges of electioneering in the 21st century is that, due to the faceless nature of the internet, social media spreads propagan...

Análisis de la actual configuración de la ley de ejecución penal libertad condicional y su compatibilidad con el bloque de constitucionalidad federal a la luz del reciente plenario de Casación Penal “Tobar Coca” , que sorprende con la interpretación realizada respecto a la compatibilidad del régimen de progresividad de la pena de los artículos 14 inc.10 del Código Penal y 56 bis inc. 10 de la ley 24.660 con el principio de igualdad de la ley y el principio de razonabilidad de los actos de gobierno en cuanto imposibilitan el acceso a salidas o libertad anticipada a las personas condenadas por delitos relativos al tráfico de estupefacientes o su financiamiento.
La pretendida función nomofiláctica alegada para brindar uniformidad a la interpretación de la ley sustantiva corroe principios republicanos como la independencia judicial y la división funcional del poder estatal, sumado a la falta de robustez del procedimiento plenario en términos de autogobierno, y a la disconformidad con el contenido sustancial arribado por el plenario, todo lo que se intentará abordar en este trabajo.

This study investigates newspaper framing and the prediction of Nigeria’s 2016 economic crisis. The press through it editorial contents, has an obligation to alert the public and the authorities on ill economic policies. But studies have blamed media partly for some economic crises in Europe and America for not predicting it coming. Thus, Nigeria economic crisis escalated to recession in second quarter of 2016. This study thus, investigated the role media play in framing the crisis using the types of frames used in explaining media framing of crisis- episodic and thematic frames, conflict, responsibility, morality, economic consequences and human interest frames, predictive frame paired with informative frame. Quantitatively, this study content analyzed 244 editions of The Punch and Daily Trust newspapers in respect of economic crisis stories from January 1 st to August 31 st 2016 using systematic sampling techniques. A textual analysis of the same economic crisis stories were pur...

The core aim of this study is to provide media outfit, journalists and would-be journalists with higher education for peace with the aim of promoting among all journalists and politicians a spirit of understanding, tolerance, and peaceful coexistence, to stimulate cooperation among people, and to help lessen obstacles and threats to our internal democracy. Therefore, the study estimate the value of how newspapers in Nigeria, particularly Daily Trust, The Nation and Punch newspapers are setting agenda of conflict/peace journalism in reporting crisis ridden opposition party in their sustainability effort towards solidifying internal democracy; especially the issue of intra-party democracy which is vital to the development of the nation. In specific terms, the study focus on the recent crisis in Peoples' Democratic Party by raising three objectives based on Johan Galtung classification of conflict/peace journalism. Empirical literatures were reviewed in line with the objectives of the study. A selected random sampling of 180 editions of selected newspapers published between August, 2016 to March, 2017 was reviewed using content analysis and discourse analysis research method. Results shows that conflict journalistic frame was the dominant frame adopted by the selected newspapers and stories that employ elite/government sources were prevalent and thereby contributed in escalating the tension between the two warring factions by focusing on groups differences and reaction to early stories. The framing and the social identity theories were also used to explain the study and it was discovered that the way the media have set the agenda and frame the conflict in Peoples' Democratic Party has gone in a long way in determining party members' drive for positive change and identity, self-esteem and social comparisons they make, this to large extent contributed to defection of members to other parties seeking an avenue to protect their political interest and office. Both the quantitative and qualitative data were clearly presented and analysed which helped in answering the research questions.

«Whoever controls the media, controls the mind» – die Geschichte dieses Satzes reicht bis in die Frühzeit des Kalten Krieges zurück. Heute erlangt er seine vielleicht größte Aktualität. Mit dem Begriff ‹Mind Control› lassen sich unterschiedliche Versuche der (verdeckten) Einflussnahme auf Denken, Fühlen und Verhalten erfassen, die von Suggestion über Manipulation bis zu Indoktrination reichen. Medientechnologien spielen für diese Versuche eine mehr als nur instrumentelle Rolle. Sie ermöglichen immer neue Formen der Einflussnahme.

O texto de Vitor Tomé "O jornalismo pós-Snowden em contextos de aceleração social" introduz o problema da relação entre tempo e vigilância. Na base da argumentação acerca dos processos de aceleração técnica e social preconizados por Rosa (2016), o autor propõe que a intensificação dos mecanismos de reforço da vigilância tem em vista um projeto de coordenação e de sincronização de larga escala que escapa à autoridade e ao poder de decisão dos próprios estados. O autor deixa referências importantes sobre o que pode ser o tempo político num momento histórico em que os mesmos instrumentos de vigilância se tornam vulneráveis face à inovação tecnológica e ao poder das redes eletrónicas, no que respeita à possibilidade de disseminação em larga de escala de grandes volumes de informação, em tempo real, que se torna também um tempo não controlável. O autor enfatiza, no seguimento de argumentos apresentados noutros textos desta edição, que o ritmo acelerado da vigilância pende sobretudo, para o lado de quem tem mais poder de aceder à informação e, nesse quadro, a própria atividade jornalística pode estar sob ameaça.

It is wonderful to be back in Scarborough. I say back because many of my earliest and fondest childhood memories were of summer holidays spent here. Being a cricket fan, the Scarborough Festival – the cricketing jamboree held at the end of August each year since 1876 – has always held a place in my imagination. Alas I have never been, but am hoping one day to break my duck. I want to discuss the economy and the role of monetary policy in supporting it. And with apologies to the non-cricketers in the audience, to do so I will borrow a cricketing metaphor – the “corridor of uncertainty”. The corridor of uncertainty is every bowler’s dream and every batter’s nightmare. It refers to a ball which pitches in such a position – the corridor – that the batter does not know whether to be playing off the back foot or the front foot. This, I will argue, is similar to the dilemma facing monetary policymakers on the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) today. Should monetary policy hold back un...

Los bonos verdes son instrumentos financieros emitidos por gobiernos, organizaciones o empresas para financiar proyectos que tienen un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente, como los relacionados con la energía renovable, la gestión del agua, la agricultura sostenible, la conservación de la biodiversidad, entre otros. En el caso del Perú, los bonos verdes podrían destinarse a proyectos de irrigación para mejorar la productividad agrícola y enfrentar el cambio climático, o para infraestructura hídrica que permita el uso eficiente de los recursos naturales.
