Ground-based response robotics for the safe operation of TV journalists in emergency zone

The article considers an approach to ensuring safe working conditions for TV journalists conducting TV reports from the emergency zone by means of ground-based response robotics. It is proposed to use a remote controlled (teleoperated) ground-based mobile service robots equipped with vision systems and professional television film-ing equipment. Remote-controlled robots developed at the Russian State Scientific Center for Robotics and Tech-nical Cybernetics (St. Petersburg) can be used as such robotic systems. Equipping robots with a stereoscopic vi-sion systems and a special TV camera to organize teleoperation of a mobile robot’s movement requires a broad-band communication channel, since it is necessary to transmit several video streams simultaneously. To solve this problem, it is proposed to use an image compression methods and the experience of using a network technolo-gies obtained during the development of the multiple-camera vision systems for installation on the mobile robotic systems BROKK-110D and BROKK-330 (Sweden) at the instructions of the Center for Special Risk Rescue Opera-tions «Leader» (Russia). The technical solution is presented to provide TV journalists with special remote-controlled ground-based robotics, which allows them to conduct television reports directly from the scene of hostili-ties, while being at a safe distance from the scene of events and the location of radio antennas.

Artificial Intelligence vs. Natural Stupidity

The number of articles, contributions, TV reports and tweets, squeaks and cheeps on the social networks that deal with the emerging and invasive role of artificial intelligence (AI) in several aspects of our life is increasing enormously, day by day.
 Like for other hot issues, the use of AI has bright and dark sides. Some are sincerely excited by the potential beneficial outcomes of its applications, others are scared by the potential drawbacks, including some challenging limitations to human freedom.
 AI is an incredibly powerful machine. It can make calculations and infer conclusions starting from huge datasets and with such a speed that is absolutely inconceivable for a human being. However the history of technology teaches us that the problem is always in the mind and in the hands of the user and, particularly in this case, of the developer. It is not necessary to be sluggishly reluctant to accept innovations and changes to advance serious doubts on the consequences of AI. Some of these effects are, at the moment, unforeseeable.

Symbolic Politics as a Tool in Social Protest

The article analyses the concept of symbolic politics and its potential for explaining the mechanisms and means of struggle used by social protest movements. A detailed discussion of the protest events that took place in Lithuania between 2021 and 2023 reveals how the symbolic capital of major national holidays and commemorations was exploited by the opposing political forces.Between 2021 and 2023, social discontent was rising in Lithuania and so was the number of mass protests in the country. The latter differed significantly from the previous ones not only in the geography and social composition of the participants (mostly not the residents of Vilnius but those of the province, representatives of the so-called lower social classes), but also in the problems and political demands they identified. The rhetoric used was more typical of the ‘culture wars’, with demands for systemic changes and calls for the resignation of some high-ranking officials or even institutions, such as the government of the Republic of Lithuania. The frequency of these protest events and the number of protesters have also been noticeably rising.The main reasons for the growing dissatisfaction of some citizens were the domestic and foreign policies implemented by the ruling coalition formed by the TS-LKD (Tėvynės sąjunga-Lietuvos krikščionys demokratai, Homeland Union-LithuanianChristian Democrats), the Lithuanian Liberal Movement (Lietuvos liberalų sąjūdis, LLS), the Freedom Party (Laisvės partija, LS) and the government it appointed at the end of 2020, as well as the legislative initiatives reflecting the so-called gender discourse. These protests were suppressed with the help of a negative image of the protesters in the mainstream media and (not always adequate to the situation) by demonstrating the measures taken by the force structures structures to control the civil unrest. However, early in 2022, protesters spontaneously discovered and exploited, sufficiently effectively, unconventional or openly counter-conventional symbolic political tools: they used major national holidays and commemorations and public events organised on those occasions, which became an arena for demonstrating openly their negative attitudes towards the political elite.With this in mind, the aim of this article is to take a closer look at the official commemorations of 13 January, 16 February, and 11 March, the three most important national dates in 2022, and the forms of civic dissatisfaction that were expressedduring them. The category of symbolic politics was used as a theoretical basis for the study and is presented in greater detail in the article. In addition to sources such as public speeches of politicians, broadcasts of these events, TV reports or discussions about them in official and social media, etc., anthropological participatory research was chosen as a significant method of analysis.Taking into account the specifics of the development of post-Soviet countries, the topic of the exploitation of cultural memory, especially related to the era of the national movement Sąjūdis (the time of the restoration of the state) in the accumulation of symbolic capital and in the solution of topical socio-political problems was of particular importance for the analysis of the interaction of symbolic politics and social protest. The mass protests of 2021–2023 illustrate how the Sąjūdis epoch and the political values and programming of Lithuania’s development put forward during that era are still being used to challenge, reject, and create a vision contrary to the currently established political discourse and its order, including the commemorative ritual. The ongoing struggle for the right to control the symbolic legacy of the Sąjūdis and the lack of ‘feedback’ in political communication are fuelling hostility and radicalisation on both sides of the conflict. The struggle for the appropriation of the memory and moral capital of the Sąjūdis (and of the first Republic of Lithuania, from which the Sąjūdis evolved legally and symbolically) has become extremely significant for each of them, because the appropriation of this resource also plays the role of the legitimation of a particular political group. Denying the political opponent the right to this symbolic resource simultaneously denies any legitimacy they may have and at the same time eliminates them symbolically from the field of political competition.

THE RUSSIAN ARMY’S DEFICIENCIES IN OPERATION ”Z”

Operation “Z” launched by Russia on 24.02.2022 against Ukraine is facing severe logistical problems on the ground. The railway infrastructure they rely on and cannot fully meet their requirements, outdated logistical equipment, difficulties and limitations in securing fuel requirements have been frequently reported problems in the last weeks of the conflict. The logistics support doctrine of the Russian forces contains some organizational and functional inadequacies. From its analysis it appears that a logistic support battalion with its personnel and equipment is not able to fully meet the support requirements of the forces served. Apparently, this deficiency is encountered both at the tactical and the operational and strategic level, as it becomes evident from the analysis of several articles and scholarly works regarding the current Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The present article aims, based on the analysis of information available from open sources (articles, TV reports and social media posts), to identify the source of the logistical problems faced by the Russian armed forces.

Margaret Laurence’s Living-Room War: Bringing Violence Home in The Fire-Dwellers

ABSTRACT Margaret Laurence’s The Fire-Dwellers (1969) meditates on episodes of racialized and colonial violence occurring around the world as the news brings images of the Vietnam War and shootings of African American men into Stacey MacAindra’s Canadian home. This article assesses what Laurence called the novel’s “audio-visual” form. It reads the descriptions of TV reports and newspaper photographs in the novel alongside Judith Butler’s and Susan Sontag’s writing on war photography and Caroline Levine’s recent work on literary forms. Contextualizing Laurence’s central metaphor of the house on fire in the mass-mediated reception of “television’s war” and Canadian responses to violence in Vietnam and the United States, the article examines the debate over ethical witnessing embedded in the novel’s preoccupation with what John Berger called “photographs of agony” and argues that The Fire-Dwellers is an important text for scholars involved in the current reappraisal of Laurence as a political writer.

Representing Male Disability in Colombian Audiovisual Media: The Masking of Social and Political Intersections in Los informantes

AbstractThis article examines the discursive construction of male disability in Los informantes, a national Colombian TV show. By combining critical discourse analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, and queer linguistics with (critical) disability studies and crip theory, it examines three TV reports that narrate the lives of a physically disabled Venezuelan migrant, a young Colombian with Down syndrome, and a physically disabled Colombian living in Great Britain. The analysis shows that Los informantes relies on inspirational and individualistic imagery that conceals the role of the neoliberal state in debilitating the lives of these men. By using a set of linguistic, visual, and discursive strategies (the supercrip figure, narrative prosthesis, and inclusionist profitability, among others), the reports mask the social and political aspects of disability. This study contributes to understanding the intersection between language, dis/ability, sexuality, and media in Latin America and questions dominant discursive constructions on disability.

Exploring Disaster Mitigation and Preparedness of Rural Communities

ABSTRACT: Over the past few decades, the discussion of disaster mitigation and preparedness has largely focused on the urban communities, due to the concentration of the general population in those centers. This presents a gap in our current knowledge base particularly for vulnerable places with huge rural communities. This study focused on the level of knowledge on disaster mitigation and preparedness among rural communities in Cadiz City, Philippines. It was conducted to increase the understanding of DRR (Disaster Risk Reduction) done in rural communities and explore a method to come up with a suitable program that can enhance the awareness of DRR in Cadiz City. Data were gathered from 198 respondents of the 6 rural communities in Cadiz City via a researcher-developed questionnaire survey and in-depth face-to-face interviews. The results show that the general response in terms of the level of disaster mitigation and preparedness is “in the process”. Most of the respondents have acquired information on general emergency preparedness with TV reports as the most common source of information and television as the most effective means of receiving information. In general, the residents in the rural communities of Cadiz City manifest readiness and interest in their safety from disaster and in reducing their exposure and vulnerabilities to typhoons, fires, and earthquakes. Based on the results of the study, the researchers highly recommend the development of a comprehensive and operational module to guide at-risk rural communities in mitigating and preparing for disasters.

The Importance of Being Earnest: The Role of Character, Competence, and Emotion in Reputation Change

Good reputations are deemed vitally important to organizations. Utilizing an experimental approach, we examine how the characteristics (competence versus character violation) of adverse events affect reputation judgements by the general public towards high reputation organizations and how emotions play a role in this process. Results of an online experimental study (Study 1) using specially created TV news reports found character to be a critical factor in understanding changes in organizational reputation judgements. In Study 2, we used a biometric laboratory study to understand the emotive versus cognitive drivers of these negative judgements and studied participants physiological responses to the same TV reports. By combining electrodermal activity and facial expression analysis, we were able to show that when combined with a competence violation, negative character increases expressed negative emotions and levels of arousal. In Study 3, we re-test mediation using a larger sample of car owners in the United States using remote facial expression data collection. We find that negative emotions mediate the relationship between character and competence violations and changes in organizational reputation judgements. We contribute to research on reputation decline by providing a clearer understanding of the micro-level processes of reputational change and stakeholder’s reactions to adverse organizational events.

PATIENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM INHIBITORS: COMPARISON BETWEEN THE FIRST AND THE SECOND COVID-19 PANDEMIC WAVES

Objective: Since the outbreak of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, concerns have been raised that RAAS inhibitors (RAAS-i) may increase susceptibility to coronavirus and likelihood of severe COVID-19 illness. This study aims to assess the patients’ perceptions on the risk or benefit of RAAS-I use focusing on the differences between the two waves of the pandemic in Northern Greece. Design and method: Patients visiting the emergency (non-COVID) department or the outpatient clinics of a tertiary hospital were invited to participate by completing a short questionnaire. This observational study was conducted during the first (April to June 2020) and the much more forceful second wave (November 2020) of the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: In total 341 patients (183 women, 53.7%) taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor type 1 blockers (ARBs) participated (mean age 64.7 ± 9.7 years). About half the patients (188, 55.1%) were taking RAAS-i for hypertension, while the rest for other indications (heart failure, coronary artery disease, etc.). The vast majority (319, 93.5%) were aware of the issue that some antihypertensive drugs might be harmful (mainly from TV reports). Several differences were noted between the participants of the first and the second wave (Table 1). In particular, more patients of the second wave, than of the first wave, knew if they were taking RAAS-I and had contacted their doctor with eventually 14 of them altering their therapeutic regimen. Moreover, the second wave patients, in contrast to the first wave participants, reported higher chances of getting COVID-19, with the majority of them believing they are more susceptible to SARS-COV-2 and expecting more severe disease course. Disturbingly, only few of the patients of the second wave and none of the first had been informed of the position of major scientific societies that patients should continue taking RAAS-i. Conclusions: Greek patients are aware of the issue relating the RAAS-i with the COVID-19 pandemic. Second wave participants seem more worried, seeking medical advice and inquiring drug substitution. Nevertheless they still lack information from scientific societies. Further research is warranted to assess whether patient oriented informative campaigns could comfort their concerns.

PATIENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON THE USE OF RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN-ALDOSTERONE SYSTEM INHIBITORS DURING THE FIRST WAVE OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Objective: Since the outbreak of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic, concerns have been raised that renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors (RAAS-i) may increase the susceptibility to the coronavirus and the likelihood of severe COVID-19 illness. Aim of this study was to assess the patients’ perceptions on the risk or benefit of RAAS-I use in the COVID-19 era. Design and method: Patients visiting the emergency (non-COVID) department or the outpatient clinics of a tertiary hospital in Northern Greece were invited to participate by completing a short questionnaire. This observational study was conducted during the first wave of the COVID-19 (April to June 2020) and would restart at an imminent second wave. Analyses included only questionnaires from the first wave (which was apparently well controlled in Greece) and were performed by IBM SPSS Statistics. Results: In total 178 patients (94 women, 52.8%) taking angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor type 1 blockers (ARBs) participated (mean age 63.8 ± 10.2 years). About half (97, 54.4%) were taking RAAS-i for hypertension, while the rest for other indications. The vast majority (160, 92.1%) were aware of the issue that some antihypertensive drugs might be harmful (mainly from TV reports), although almost one third (51, 31.9%) were not sure if they were prescribed such drugs. One fifth of the patients had contacted their doctor inquiring if they were taking such drugs and if, in that case, they could replace it. Only three patients altered their therapeutic regimen. Of note, the majority of patients (151, 84.8%) reported that the chances of getting COVID-19 were low or somewhat low, though they feel more susceptible to catch it (128, 65.7%) or that they will have a more severe disease course (136, 76.4%). Disturbingly, none of the patients had been informed of the position of major scientific societies that patients should not stop taking RAAS-i. Conclusions: Greek patients appear to be aware of the issue relating the RAAS-i with the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless they seem lacking information from their healthcare providers or from scientific bodies. Further research is warranted to assess whether patient oriented informative campaigns could comfort the concerns.

HYPERTENSION ASSOCIATED RISKS DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC: THE PATIENTS’ PERCEPTION

Objective: Soon after the outbreak of the pandemic, uncontrolled hypertension was recognized as a risk factor for severe COVID-19 while concerns were raised that RAAS-i may increase the susceptibility and the severity of disease. The study aims to assess patients’ perception on risks associated with hypertension. Design and method: Hypertension patients visiting the emergency (non-COVID) department or the outpatient clinics of a tertiary hospital in Northern Greece were invited to participate by completing a short questionnaire. This observational study was conducted during the first and the much more forceful ongoing second wave. The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) were used to measure the frequency and severity of depression and anxiety. Results: 373 hypertensive patients (205 women, 55.0%) participated (mean age 63.6 ± 9.4 years), with 341 (91.4%) taking RAAS-i. About half (191, 51.2%) were taking RAAS-i for hypertension, while the rest for other indications. The vast majority (364, 97.6%) were alert that hypertension was a risk factor for COVID-19, although only 1 in 8 were informed that it mainly implied uncontrolled/untreated hypertension. Most of the patients (347, 93.0%) had heard that antihypertensive drugs might be harmful (mainly from TV reports), though only 199 (58.4%) of the patients taking RAAS-i knew they were taking such drugs. Moreover, 176 patients (47.2%), mostly during second wave, conducted their doctor and eventually 17 altered therapy. Participants during second wave reported higher chances of getting COVID-19, with the majority believing they are more susceptible and expecting more severe disease. The mean Beck's anxiety and depression score was 10.7 ± 7.1 and 12.2 ± 9.3 respectively, with the prevalence of significant anxiety (BAI> = 10) or depression (BDI> = 17) reaching 11% (41 patients) and 6.2% (23 patients), with as expected, higher scores for second wave patients. Disturbingly, only 20 patients (5.4%) had been informed of the position of major scientific. Conclusions: Greek patients are concerned of hypertension association with COVID-19 although not properly informed that it implies mainly uncontrolled/untreated hypertension. Hypertensive patients seem worried about the pandemic which is mirrored into anxiety and depression scores. Nevertheless they lack information from scientific societies.

Correctly performed nasal swabs.

BackgroundAs the incidence of new cases of coronavirus disease increased exponentially, the use of viral swabs to collect nasopharyngeal specimens are increasing drastically. Therefore, healthcare workers military staff and uneducated nonprofessional’s were ordered to make this swabs. Subsequently case reports reported about basal skull perforation, cerebrospinal fluid fistula and injury due to an incorrect technique.MethodsSearch of the literature.ResultsOnly in 44% of the videos (Youtube) nasal swabs were correctly performed. Due to an false technique biological sampling resulted in false-negative COVID-19 tests.ConclusionAlthough professional societies started to report about this unacceptable situation, no publication reported about this health endangerment. In this time of overwhelming information and diversity of opinions, it is necessary to report about this in the hope, all media and TV reports will follow this article to show correctly performed nasal swabs to reduce false-negative COVID-19 tests and injury.

Role of Media and Communication Channels in Creating Panic during Covid-19 Movement Control Order

Media and Communication Channels as carriers of news on COVID-19 might have a role in spreading panic among the population. This study was conducted to determine the media and communication channels responsible for creating panic among Malaysians during COVID-19 Movement Control Order (MCO). A survey using questionnaire was used to collect data from 253 respondents across Malaysia. In terms of media and communication channels, most of the respondents reported that they panic due to the exposure to reports from online media (Internet and social media). This is followed by communication with family members. TV, radio and newspaper reports are the third contributors of panic among Malaysians during COVID-19 MCO. Meanwhile about half of the respondents said they panic because of curiosity about COVID-19. It is an irony that online media, which contributes to the panic is also a source of information on COVID-19 and platform to work from home.

Media Cultural Landscape: Experience from Czechia

This paper investigates media reflection of the culture that is bound to self-governing regions in Czechia. The primary focus is on regionally related reports dealing with culture as they appear in the framework of the national TV coverage. Thus, the main objective of the article is to analyse, evaluate and interpret culture-related and regionally orientated contributions broadcast within the national TV reporting. Con-trary to the majority of TV reports that are negatively skewed, culture represents mainly positive themes. It is surely interesting for individual self-governing regions if their culture is presented within national TV coverage. Our paper tackles the issue from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives. This is even more exciting in view of the fact that the topic has been severely under-researched so far. The article brings geographically rather differentiated media portrayals of individual self-governing re-gions in Czechia in the sphere of culture, which can be of interest to both theory and practice.

Дискурс российских СМИ о психоневрологических интернатах

Special care (psychoneurological) institutions for people with disabilities have started to draw more public attention in Russia. Some public organizations categorically oppose such asylums and produce TV reports investigating the way people are treated there and picturing these institutions as “prisons” for the innocent. Even though journalists and authorities are now forced to take more progressive ideologies into account, the discourse supporting the system of such institutions continues to be reproduced. The study aims to analyze modern discourses about such institutions and people who are isolated there. The data comprise seventeen video reports from 2012–2020. The main method is critical discourse analysis, with a particular focus on labeling people (229 cases). The main justifications behind the discourse supporting the system of special care institutions are: care about “the disadvantaged” and “the souls suffering from diseases”; “protecting” those who cannot live on their own; their “uniqueness” (which, being seemingly more politically correct, justifies isolation). The discourse opposing the system of asylums is backed and enacted by representatives of nongovernmental organizations and experts arguing that isolated people are often not ill, and shows successful “alumni” who have managed to escape from the “prison.” The role of the “patients” in nearly all analyzed video reports is limited to providing short answers or being in the background, and all reports reproduce the paternalistic ideology toward isolated people, albeit to different extents. The recent years can be described as a transition period when both discourses coexist, along with compromise outlooks on the residential care institutions. Article in Russian

Anomalous Magnetic Fields Corona Virus COVID-19 Cause

All in Earth magnetic feld (EMF) gets magnetic properties (MP). Summed MP with intensity stronger than natural EMF, are Anomalous magnetic fields (AMF). Diamagnetic can become paramagnetic, depending on the environment in which it is, enabling humans hormones, enzymes, proteins secretion from organs. Aim: Show that living world is assemblage of electrical beings. Point the electrical potential generator in body. Point enormous AMF pathological power. Show how does old organism function, and how a young one. Concerning immune system and aging. Point prevention, i.e. protection from AMF. Explain COVID-19 functioning. Methodology: Published scientific works in international journals are used and presented in literature at the end of this work, being a basic methodological lead of this presentation. Unknown physiological and pathological processes in humans in medicine are explained. AMF foundings are performed visually, i.e. watching TV reports during treatments of COVID-19 patients. Results: Using knowledge of geomagnetism and electrotechnics, presented are ambiguities from physiology, cell’s division, breathing, heart functioning and central nervous system. Also presented is pathology causing enormous mortality and diseases caused by AMF. Explained is a virus entrance into a host cell and its functioning with MP increase in AMF from external environment. It is suggested how to stop patients death by eliminating AMF from their dwelling places. Conclusion: Humans are magnetic and electromagnetic beings. All chemical substances are electrical impulses products. Life is created according to a magnetic code enabled by EMF and its end is when EMF disappears, as it happened on plant Venus. Biology-medical science should consider Earth magnetic fields in order to prolong life on planet Earth and eliminate dangerous diseases (cancer, KVD, diabetes etc.) caused by AMF, what is possible only by eliminating AMF from people’s dwelling places and what helps in treating and preventing the mentioned diseases. After 30 years of research, clear proofs are found that eliminating AMF from living environment and spending time in natural EMF life can be prolonged to over 90 years. It is, also, found that the new COVID-19 wave in Serbia is producing much less disease cases than in its surrounding. This result is achieved because, for over 30 years, people are constantly informed about mortal diseases causes (CVD, cancer, diabetes and, lately, COVID-19 and other diseases), having AMF as the main pathological factor from external environment. At the beginning, public media have been included (television, daily newspapers and radio) but some “higher forces” have forbidden this kind of information.

Criminal TV report: assessment methodology (on the example of the Republic of Buryatia)

This article attempts to develop methodology for assessing criminal TV reports. The subject of this research is the criteria for assessing the quality of criminal TV report. For conducting detailed assessment of criminal TV report, all criteria were divided into four groups: compliance with legal norms; observance of ethical standards; usage of legal terminology; and adherence to technological parameters. For the assessment of first criterion, all legal norms in criminal TV report can be divided into the following categories: appropriate coverage of investigation, coverage trial, and coverage of situation when the offender or the victim is a minor. In assessment of the parameter “usage of legal terminology", it is emphasized that the journalist should apply such terms as “suspect” and “offender” properly. In analysis of the third parameter, we author relies on the criteria proposed by S. A. Muratov. The questions of improvement of TV content, specifically with regards to criminal journalism, remain relevant. This described methodology would help to improve the forms of submission of the materials and heighten the interest of target audience of mass media. The research was conducted in several steps. Firstly, the author examined the structure of criminal content of Arig Us TV channel. Secondly, , carried out classification of criminal TV reports by topic. Thirdly, developed parameters and criteria for quality assessment of criminal TV reports. And finally, at the stage of testing, analyzed the quality of criminal TV reports. The methods used in the course of this research include classification, analysis, and paperwork.

How Perceived Processing Fluency Influences the Illusion of Knowing in Learning From TV Reports

Abstract. The present two-study work aims to contribute to an understanding of the causes and consequences of perceived processing fluency. Regarding its causes, the experimental studies ( N1 = 399; N2 = 337) found that features of television reports (e.g., footage used, background music) can heighten perceptions of processing fluency. Regarding its consequences, it was found that heightened perceived fluency biases metacognitive judgments. Specifically, considering perceived knowledge in relation to actual knowledge, recipients experiencing fluency have been found to overestimate their knowledge about the issue depicted in the experimental stimuli. The resulting illusion of knowing was particularly pronounced under conditions of low involvement, indicating that the so-called ease-of-processing heuristic underlies the effect.
