The role of broadcast media in disaster preparedness education : lessons learned in the scientific

2014

This paper aims to clarify the role of broadcast media in disaster preparedness education concerning natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis. This is done by means of a systematic review of the scientific literature on this topic over the last 10 years. The results show that media information is a strong facilitator of awareness of disasters. Preparedness includes action to reduce risks, which also needs community interaction, resources and motivation. It adds to indigenous knowledge and experience of disasters, and may combine self-education by the media, school education and community efforts for disaster risk reduction. An inclusive approach is also called for in order to invo…

Wpływ epidemii koronawirusa na medialne transmisje Eucharystii

2021

The coronavirus epidemic has become a completely unexpected challenge for the pastoral activity of the Church. The introduced restrictions on the number of the faithful who can participate in the parish liturgy and in some countries even the complete closure of places of worship, resulted in a new perception of the role of media broadcasts of the Eucharist. The article presents the history of introducing television broadcasts of the Holy Mass and the related and variously solved problem of the place where such a liturgy is celebrated. Issues related to the specific phenomenon of broadcasting the Holy Mass from parish churches via the Internet with the use of one webcam are also discussed. A…

The proceedings of Spanish Audiovisual Councils on discriminatory discourse

2021

Mass media, and especially television, are powerful discursive instruments, responsible for the construction of social imagery through ideologically determined content. For this reason, the creation of a regulatory body with authority over the audiovisual sector in countries without one was urged by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe in 2000. Spain is the only EU country without an audiovisual council with authority at the state level. Currently, only the Audiovisual Council of Catalonia (CAC), created in 2000, and the Audiovisual Council of Andalusia (CAA), which dates from 2004, operate in Spain. Within an environment increasingly marked by hate speech, this research anal…

ELS live surgery: a developing story

2019

Since 2015, the European Laryngological Society (ELS) has organized on a yearly basis the European Laryngological Live Surgery Broadcast. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate the increasing worldwide audience. The number of individual computers logged in, number of estimated audience, and number of countries with an active audience were calculated and compared to the numbers in 2015. In 2018, 19 live interventions were performed in three parallel sessions. The surgeons worked in 10 departments in 8 different countries. The number of individual computers logged in increased from 1000 in 2015 to 16000 in 2018. The estimated audience increased from 3000 to 32000 visitors. The number of cou…

The effect of the cluster randomized HIPPA intervention on childcare children’s overall physical activity

2017

Background The effect of the cluster randomized Home- and childcare-based Intervention to Promote Physical Activity (HIPPA) intervention on the everyday physical activity (PA) of children between the ages of 4 to 5 years was evaluated. Material/Methods Fourteen childcare centers with 102 children born in 2007 and their families participated in the study. HIPPA was implemented over a single preschool year in seven childcare centers while seven other centers continued their normal care (control group, CG). The PA levels of children were assessed by accelerometers six times every six months during two and a half years of research. Valid PA data were obtained from 69 children at baseline and an…

Latvijas mileniāļu paaudzes podkāstu klausīšanās paradumi "Spotify" lietotnē

2021

Bakalaura darba “Latvijas mileniāļu paaudzes podkāstu klausīšanās paradumi “Spotify” lietotnē” mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi ir Latvijas mileniāļu paaudzes podkāstu klausīšanās paradumi "Spotify" lietotnē, un kādas vajadzības tie apmierina, tos klausoties. Darba teorētiskā daļa sastāv no lietojuma un apmierinājuma teorijas, teorijas par jaunajiem medijiem un mediju auditoriju. Darbā tiek apskatīts podkāsta un mileniāļu paaudzes jēdziens un ir veikts ieskats tajā, kas ir “Spotify” aplikācija. Darbā tika izmantotas trīs pētniecības metodes – aptauja, kvantitatīvā kontentanalīze un fokusgrupas intervija. Pētījums norāda uz to, ka faktori, kas ietekmē podkāsta izvēli, ir tā saturs, tā audio kvalit…

Emergence of severe spondyloarthropathy-related entheseal pathology following successful vedolizumab therapy for inflammatory bowel disease

2018

Objectives Vedolizumab (VDZ) blocks α4β7 integrin and is licenced for the treatment of IBD. It has been associated with mild SpA-related features, including sacroiliitis and synovitis. Herein we report a series of cases demonstrating the emergence of severe SpA-associated enthesitis/osteitis following successful IBD therapy with VDZ. Methods We evaluated 11 VDZ-treated patients with IBD across seven centres who developed severe active SpA and/or enthesopathy, with the aim of characterizing the VDZ-associated SpA or entheseal flares. Imaging features demonstrating particularly severe disease were recorded. Results De novo SpA developed in 9 of 11 patients and flare of known SpA in 2 patients…

The goal of the experiment was exploring possible differences in FB users’ reaction to FB advertisements of traditional books and audiobooks. The experiment was implemented by using a real Facebook fanpage of a Polish publishing house having its own online bookstore. Results show so…

Cat gēna transkripcijas starta saita noteikšana plazmīdās ar dažādu IS10 transpozonu lokalizāciju

2019

Insercijas secības (IS) ir transpozētspējīgas sekvences, dēļ kuras var notikt genomiskā pārkārtošanās, kā rezultātā var tikt aktivēti citi gēni. Baktērijās šis fenomens ļauj aktivizēt antibiotiku rezistences kodējošos gēnus. Šī darba mērķis bija noskaidrot cat gēna transkripcijas starta saitu jeb +1 RNS plazmīdās ar dažādu IS10H lokalizāciju, vienlaikus optimizējot Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (RACE) metodi. Tika izmantoti Escherichia coli celmi, kas bija transformēti ar plazmīdu DNS. No transformantiem tika izdalīta mRNS ar kuru tika veikta RACE metode. Sekvencēšanas rezultāti parādija, ka izmantotā metode bija efektīva, lai iegūtu 5’-galu no transkriptiem. Izdalītajos paraugos apstipr…
