Vaativaa vai vahingollista valmentamista – missä menee raja? Suomalaisten päivälehtien uutisointi valmentajien epäasiallisesta käytöksestä ja negatiivisesta palautediskurssista urheiluvalmennuksessa

In this article, we focus on Finnish daily newspapers’ coverage of inappropriate behaviour and negative feedback from sports coaches towards their trainees. The aim of the study is to explore the reported content and meanings of the feedback given by coaches and highlight the negative feedback discourses produced by the news in which the coach’s biopower is directed at the athlete. The research data consists of 23 sports news articles published in 16 different daily newspapers. The data was collected from the digital newspaper service epress.fi, using the search command “valmentajan epäasiallinen*” (eng. “coach’s inappropriate*”). Our research method is based on critical discourse analysis and its key concepts such as biopower, discourse practice, sociocultural practice, ideology, hegemony and discursive field, but otherwise, we combine different discourse theories relatively freely in our analysis.

Impressos periódicos e escrita da história

The printed periodicals attract the attention of a highly diversified array of scholars, owing to the myriad possibilities they offer as sources of information and/or subjects of research. The aim of this article is to discuss the challenges posed by the utilization of this type of source for historical writing in the current context, characterized by the availability of vast quantities of titles in digital format. The discussion begins with the systematization of a set of procedures and methods already well-established concerning the use of such sources, followed by an exploration of the potential impacts of digital newspaper archives on historiographical practice. The shifts in terms of conception and execution of research invite critical reflection on the new analytical possibilities brought about by the transition from analog to digital.

Web-Based Implementation of Information Visualization of Megalithic Cultural Heritage

Objective: The purpose of this study is to assess the outcomes of developing a megalithic culture web application in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, as an information visualization platform for digital heritage documentation of megalithic culture. The application's reliability is evaluated by a pilot study, with an emphasis on the elements of efficiency, ease of learning, ease of use, and user satisfaction. Method: Pilot testing in this study uses a questionnaire-based approach to collect information involving 33 respondents from around the Malay Nature and Civilization Library, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM). The collected data was analyzed with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 28. Results and Discussion: The study's findings indicate that the produced web application has excellent and effective values with a high level of consistency. This means that it can be used as a digital documentation medium to show the community what cultural heritage survives in this state today in order to preserve it. It is hoped that the web application produced will assist in transmitting and sharing knowledge on megalithic culture in Negeri Sembilan to the general public, as part of efforts to dignify cultural heritage remains. Research Implications: This study adds to the creation of digital documents based on web applications that can be simply and rapidly accessed by all levels of global society. The consequences of these research findings can serve as the foundation for formulating policies to preserve the value of megalithic cultural remnants, promote archeotourism development activities, and assist local community development and economic empowerment. Originality/Value: This work presents original discoveries on information exploration and mapping existing megalithic sites to a digital platform in an effort to improve information exchange and digital preservation, which are currently below optimal levels. This study also adds to the growth of literature by focusing on one research information source connected to megalithic culture in Negeri Sembilan rather than searching for information through multiple spread information sources. Furthermore, this endeavor represents an innovation in information sharing through the use of GIS technology, which will undoubtedly ensure that records for megalithic site discovery are always kept and accessible to future users and scholars. Through the notion of digital preservation of cultural heritage, this is one endeavor to elevate the remnants of the megalithic cultural heritage as one of the unique heritages not only in Malaysia but also worldwide.

Investigation of the Awareness of Automated News in terms of Public Opinion: Artificial Intelligence Journalism

Developments in information and communication technologies have created change and transformation in news production and reading habits, and the use of artificial intelligence in the journalism sector has become inevitable as the process transforms society. With artificial intelligence journalism, news can be produced and edited quickly. However, this speed and automation can create problems for readers in terms of accuracy and detail in consuming the news. In this context, the roles of journalists are also changing, and they are effective in checking the accuracy of news and developing public awareness. Automated news production has developed with the use of artificial intelligence-based software. In the automated news production process, which has come to the agenda through artificial intelligence, the automated creation of news through a number of algorithms and software and its rapid presentation to consumers has taken its place in the new generation journalism. Therefore, with the use of artificial intelligence in news production, public awareness should also be taken into consideration. This study investigates public awareness in the context of automated news production and news reliability, objectivity, confidentiality, employment problems of journalists and ethical rules. The independent variables of the study are the gender, age, education and occupation of newspaper consumers, while the dependent variables are the public opinion on the characteristics of the news in the face of news produced with artificial intelligence. The population of the study consists of individuals who use social media, read digital newspapers and are over the age of 18, while the sample consists of 400 people who voluntarily responded to the study. In the study, half of the participants are aware of the concept of artificial intelligence and that news is sometimes produced with artificial intelligence. Most of the participants think that weather news is produced by artificial intelligence, as well as economy, earthquake, weather and sports news are all produced automatically. The majority of the participants think that they are concerned about the reliability of the news produced by artificial intelligence, that these news are more qualified and more reliable than the news produced by the traditional news production process. Some of the participants also think that their news needs should be met through news produced by artificial intelligence today. It has been also found that there were significant differences between the gender, age and occupational groups of the participants and their attitudes towards news produced by artificial intelligence.

Press Discourse on the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda in Spain: Analysis of the Digital Newspapers with the Highest Readership (2015-2022)

In September 2015, all UN member states enacted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as part of the 2030Agenda. It is a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of peoplearound the world. This paper aims to determine the most relevant characteristics of the discourse around this plan,which has been offered by the seven digital newspapers with the highest readership in Spain during the eight yearsfollowing the enactment of the initiative. On the one hand, a statistical analysis has been carried out of the number ofpieces of information disseminated, as well as of the entities, industries, regions, themes and people or public agentsmost mentioned. On the other hand, a computerised linguistic corpus analysis was carried out, showing the main wordassociations made by each newspaper masthead and the length of the respective journalistic pieces. The main resultsreveal a generalised increase in the number of news items, especially from 2020 onwards. Furthermore, there is a clearprominence of the social dimension of sustainability and sustainable development, in contrast to the scarce relevanceof the ecological and environmental aspect in most of the digital newspapers. It is concluded that the Spanish pressdiscourse on the SDGs and the 2030 Agenda is heterogeneous and, furthermore, that there is currently no example thatfully complies with the values of sustainable journalism. Also, that the coverage of this roadmap does not have longformat journalistic pieces that allow the desirable depth for an adequate explanation of the plan.

Newspapers describe long-term trends in whale occurrence in the nearshore New York Bight

To understand trends in species occurrence, it is important to incorporate historical data. The digitization of printed newspapers dating back to colonial times allows for a cost-effective way of acquiring long-term ecological information. We used digital newspaper archives to gather data and characterize trends in whale sightings and strandings in the nearshore (0–25 km) New York Bight (NYB), including the New York-New Jersey harbor estuary and the Delaware estuary. Most records were found from 1831 to 2020. Sighting records per year (RPY) exhibited a bimodal pattern, with a drop in RPY between 1931 and 1970. Stranding RPY showed an increasing trend over time, with separate spikes from 1941-1950 and 2011–2020. The species most often mentioned in newspaper records were right (Eubalaena glacialis), fin (Balaenoptera physalus), humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae), and sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus). The predominant species in early records were right, fin, and sperm whales, while after 1980 the most commonly reported species were humpback and fin whales. There were species-specific differences in seasonal peaks, but sightings and strandings overall were most often reported in July. Newspapers provided valuable information on the historic occurrence of whales, filling in gaps from time frames prior to formal data collection. These results suggest that the whale species composition of the nearshore NYB has changed over the last two centuries, with a decline in right whales and an increase in humpback whales. The regular occurrence of humpback whales in the region appears to have begun more recently, which conflicts with theories that suggest they may be reoccupying former habitat. The increasing trend found for humpback whales and the evidence that endangered whale species such as right, fin, and sperm whales occur in the nearshore region is important for management and should be considered in future impact assessments.

Dynamic content layout optimization for news website front pages

Purpose The home page design of a digital news website is a key factor in determining its attractiveness to readers. This study aims to propose an approach to manage the frequent adjustment of the dynamic layout of the news content on the website home page in a real-time environment to increase its attractiveness to readers. Design/methodology/approach This paper shows that this news website layout design problem can be modeled as an optimization problem based on the information of news contents that change within a multiple-period planning horizon similar to the dynamic facility layout problem. A hybrid genetic algorithm-based approach integrated with local search heuristic methods is also proposed to improve the solution. Findings This paper finds that the DPLP model is effective in modeling the changing layout of a digital news website. The problem can solved in a timely manner using the proposed hybrid genetic algorithm. Research limitations/implications This paper was based on hypothetical data and on the assumption of equal section size. Actual data would help fine-tune the application of the dynamic facility layout model. As well the algorithm could be enhanced for unequal size sections. Practical implications The model should help online newspapers apply sophisticated algorithms to optimize the layout of news websites dynamically in a timely manner. Social implications News websites are increasingly the desired medium to consume news. So it has an important role in educating society. Thus optimizing and improving the process will help in this regard. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first one to apply the DPLP model to the digital newspaper website dynamic design problem.

Furthermore, this research elucidates how blockchain's immutability and transparency contribute to a robust framework for document verification. 1. Identity Verification: Blockchain enables the creation of immutable digital identities, making it possible to securely verify individuals' identities without the need for centralized intermediaries. Supply Chain Documentation: Businesses can track and verify the authenticity ofsupply chain documents, such as invoices, contracts, and shipping records, reducing fraud and errors.

Exploring stigmatization in digital newspaper coverage of substance use disorder

Substance use disorder is a global health issue that profoundly affects both individuals and societies. Social stigma acts as a significant barrier to treatment motivation. Mass media plays a substantial role in shaping societal perceptions. This study aims to identify stigmatizing attitudes in news narratives concerning substance use disorder as portrayed in digital newspapers. We examined news articles from the top eight national digital newspapers published during 2022 by using quantitative and retrospective content analysis. Following the review, we collected 1.233 news articles, removed 480 articles which were irrelevant or duplicate, and analyzed the remaining 753 articles using quantitative content analysis methods on SPSS 26.0. The majority of news articles depict substance use disorder in a negative consideration. The analysis revealed that nearly all news sources were news agencies and only 11% of the articles offered potential solutions. Alarmingly, 69.7% of the articles contained stigmatizing content, while 53.1% directly impacted the social lives of individuals with substance use disorder. Furthermore, 44.1% of the articles reinforced a dangerous perception associated with individuals with substance use disorder. To address these issues, we recommend a more empathetic portrayal of substance use disorder, support for help-seeking behavior, and advocacy for effective solutions in news coverage.

History, documentary sources and future: Use of diplomatics for the analysis of contemporary digital documentation

This study addresses the theme of the next or imminent use, as sources of the historical research, of digital documents that, over the last few years, have increasingly settled in the archives produced by individuals or organizations. Regarding this use, it is essential to be able to assess the genuineness of the digital documentation used as a historical source, on account of a few relevant differences existing between the traditional analog document and the digital one. This essay explores the primary role diplomatics can play just by identifying solutions for verification of the genuineness in a digital environment, beginning from its most recent currents of thought and research. Within the study of the digital document, the discipline is being moulded as a “boundary discipline” that incorporates contributions by other sciences and, as such, seems to be capable of elaborating an overview of the digital document that is distant from the mainly partial views so far developed by other sciences.

The impact of earthquake-related news on mental health: the case of a digital newspaper in Türkiye in the post-earthquake period

Following the devastating Kahramanmaraş earthquake in Türkiye on 6 February 2023, the nation engaged in discussions on seismic events widely documented by newspapers. This investigation analyses the impact of earthquake news coverage by Türkiye’s most widely-circulated newspaper on the post-disaster mental health of its readers. A thorough examination of 1314 earthquake news articles published in the newspaper after the earthquake was conducted. The article headlines were classified into four main themes, namely “Anxiety,” “Hope,” “Sadness,” and “Anger,” reflecting their emotional impact on readers. Furthermore, the news exhibited a high incidence of the term “earthquake victim” and highlighted earthquake severity and negative concepts. This study illustrates how earthquake-related news has the potential to evoke a range of emotions in readers, from anxiety to hope. The importance of media outlets following ethical standards and working together with mental health practitioners for the improvement of mental health in society cannot be overstated.

Childhood Obesity in the Spanish Digital Press: A Social Problem with Individual Causes and Consequences

The media plays an important role in prevention, awareness-raising and education of society regarding childhood obesity, a public health problem that is showing signs of a pandemic. This is happening in Spain, currently the fourth European country in terms of boys and girls who are overweight or obese. This investigation analyzes how the main Spanish digital newspapers talk about childhood obesity to the population. This research uses framing theory to study all content featuring childhood obesity as its main topic during 2020 and 2021 in six of the country's most relevant digital newspapers. The main conclusions show that, in line with previous studies, the newspapers identify childhood obesity as a social problem that requires solutions from society as a whole, although regarding both the causes and the consequences, there is a predominate individual view focused on habits and attitudes among parents and children.

American Literary History in Pieces

Abstract Daniel Diez Couch’s American Fragments offers a scholarly analysis of the fragment, a mainstay of American print culture in the early national period. In American Fragments, Couch argues that fragments were central to both American aesthetics and American political culture. Insisting that the fragment was an inclusive and progressive form that invited readers to consider the relationship between a part and the whole, Couch shows how fragments helped Americans understand themselves and their place in a democratic republic. Couch’s book is deeply researched, and it provides insightful readings of well-known texts like Hannah Fosters’s The Coquette, Charles Brockden Brown’s Edgar Huntly, and Washington Irving’s Sketch Book while also introducing readers to a host of poems and other shorter writings that appeared in newspapers, periodicals, and gift books throughout the early nineteenth century. The original research in American Fragments is engaging, and it is also emblematic of a new wave of scholarship enabled by the widespread digitization of books and newspapers in that it introduces so many new texts that are difficult to connect to existing timelines and canons. In this respect, Couch’s book also reveals the limitations of the monograph as a tool for revisioning our collective scholarly project.[R]ight now, the scholarship pushing us to reimagine our literary past is running ahead of the forms in which it might be published.

The Cybersecurity Applied by Online Travel Agencies and Hotels to Protect Users’ Private Data in Smart Cities

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the cybersecurity in online travel agencies (OTAs) and hotel sectors to protect users’ private data in smart cities. Methodologically, this research uses a sample of information about cyberattacks that occurred during the period of 2000–2023 in companies operating as OTAs and in the travel, tourism, and food sectors, which was obtained from research articles. Then, we had to expand the research to include updated information about cyberattacks from digital newspapers, regulatory sources, and state data breach notification sites like CSIS, KonBriefing, EUROCONTROL, and GlobalData. The findings of the current research prove that hotels and OTAs were constantly exposed to cyberattacks in the period analysed, especially by data breaches and malware attacks; in fact, this is the main novelty of this research. In addition, these incidents were severe for both guests and tourism companies because their vulnerabilities and consequences affect the reputation of companies and smart cities where these firms operate, as well as consumer confidence. The results also showed that most of the cyberattacks examined in this manuscript were aimed at stealing information about the companies’ and users’ private data such as email addresses; credit card numbers, security codes, and expiration dates; and encoded magstripe data; among many other types of data. Cyberattacks and cyberthreats never disappear completely in the travel and tourism sectors because these illegal activities are closely related to the hacker’s thirst for power, fame, and wealth.

Fortifying Textual Integrity: Evolutionary Optimization-powered Watermarking for Tampering Attack Detection in Digital Documents

Digital document helps as the lifeblood of present communication, yet their vulnerability to tampering poses major safety anxieties. Digital text watermarking is an effective mechanism to protect the reliability of text-based data in the digital. Introducing a hidden layer of accountability and safety, allows individuals and organizations to trust the written word and make sure the truth behind all the files. Watermarking model identifies the tampering attack by inspecting the embedded signature for distortions or alterations. Watermarks can able to mechanically classify and repair themselves once tampered with, improving document resilience. Watermarking acts as a powerful tool to detect tampering attacks in digital document. By embedding strong and imperceptible watermarks in document distribution or creation, alterations are recognized by specialized procedure. This study introduces an Evolutionary Optimizer-powered Watermarking for Tampering Attack Detection in Digital Document (EO-WTAD3) model. The main intention of EO-WTAD3 approach is to support textual integrity using the applications of metaheuristic optimizer algorithm based watermarking technique for detecting tampering attacks in digital document. In the EO-WTAD3 method, a digital watermarking method has been proposed for the ownership verification and document copyright protection using data mining concept. Moreover, the EO-WTAD3 technique utilizes the concepts of data mining to define appropriate characteristics from the document for embedding watermarks. Moreover, fractional gorilla troops optimization (FGTO) algorithm can be applied for the assortment of optimal situation of watermarks in the content, ensuring both imperceptibility and strong to tamper. The performance validation of the EO-WTAD3 methodology takes place employing multiple datasets. The extensive result analysis portrayed that the EO-WTAD3 system accomplishes improve solution with other existing approaches with respect distinct aspects.

O processo antimodernista da revista D. Quixote

In Rio de Janeiro, under the control of Brazilian writer Manuel Bastos Tigre, the D. Quixote magazine (1917-1926) published prejudiced content aimed at critiquing the São Paulo modernist movement between 1920 and 1926. Employing humor along with textual and visual resources, D. Quixote conveyed ableism, misogyny, homophobia, racism, and the stigmatization of musical and popular practices. To qualify the intensity of prejudiced expression in publications of the process, the author defined the category of ‘expressive aggressiveness’. Due to the synchrony and similarity of part of the content, elements of D. Quixote’s process were compared with elements of the anti-modernist campaigns of the São Paulo newspapers A Gazeta (1921-1922) and Folha da Noite (1923). Utilizing keyword searches in the Digital Newspaper Library of the Brazilian National Library relevant publications were found. Likewise, the arguments of researchers in humor and Brazilian history were considered. This report records the names and artworks questioned at the reception of São Paulo modernism in Rio de Janeiro, shedding light about the social construction of prejudice. Notably, journalists, writers, and humorists engaged in producing prejudiced content as means to engage in debate about art.
