The background to writing this article was the variety of linguistic phenomena in reduplication used in local print media. This phenomenon is evident in the diversity of types and categories of essential words/primary forms that form reduplication. This research aims to describe the types and categorization of words that form reduplication in local print media. There are three research methods and techniques used in this paper, namely: methods and techniques for providing data; methods and techniques for data analysis; and methods and techniques for presenting data analysis results. In providing data, the observation method is used with basic techniques, tapping techniques, advanced techniques, skillful free-involvement listening techniques, and note-taking techniques. The matching process and the addition method were used to analyze the data. An informal presentation method is used to present the results of data analysis. The population of this study consisted of reduplications used in two local print media, namely the Padang Ekspress and Singgalang newspapers. The research sample was reduplication in the Padang Ekspress and Singgalang newspapers published from January to August 2024. The findings in this research are based on the type of reduplication, there are four types of reduplication used in local print media, namely complete/whole reduplication, partial reduplication, reduplication with a combination of affixes/affixes, and phoneme-changing reduplication. Based on the categories of words that form reduplication, reduplication in local print media is formed by repeating ten categories of essential words/primary forms, namely repetition of basic words/basic forms in the categories of noun (KB), verb (KK), adjective (KS), word numbers (Kbil.), question words (KT), pronouns (KG), demonstrative words (KP), adverbs (adv.), unique morphemes (MU), and words of greeting (KSp).

Introduction: The recent Resolution of the Federal Council of Medicine (CFM) No. 2,336/23, which allows for broader dissemination of medical services, sheds light on the relationship between Plastic Surgery and the media. This, in addition to body dissatisfaction and sociocultural issues, is a factor that contributes to women representing 86.3% of recipients of procedures in this specialty worldwide. The objective is to develop a reference panel of real situations of how female celebrities publicly address their plastic surgeries in the media.
Method: A qualitative study of the Descriptive-Analytical Essay type was carried out with online data collection. Publications from three nations, Brazil, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America, from websites, magazines, newspapers, and social media materials were used.
Results: The construction of an evolutionary reference panel consisting of real situations reveals the sequence of two main phases: concealment and unveiling. In the first, female celebrities denied that their changes in physical appearance were the result of surgical interventions, as in the emblematic cases of actresses Marilyn Monroe and Jennifer Laurence and television star Kim Kardashian. Regarding the revelation, especially in Brazil, famous personalities began to treat their plastic surgeries with greater transparency, such as singer Anitta and TV presenter Xuxa. On social networks, it became common to find users documenting their own experiences with procedures in this specialty.
Conclusion: Plastic surgery probably gained a greater presence in the media with the popularization of cosmetic surgery, a process in which the acceptance of celebrities and the publicity of procedures are significant.
Backround. Against the background of the conflict between the director of the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute F.I. Stebikhov and Associate Professor S.S. Mezhevikin, the article examines the role of informal connections in the Soviet academic circles during the Second world war. The purpose of the article is to study the activities of the “most active members of the institute” – the dominant group that controlled the process of distribution of scarce goods and took part in solving the most significant issues facing the team. Materials and methods. The basis of the study was unpublished archival documents located in the funds of the Samara Regional State Archive of Socio-Political History and the Samara National Research University. The methodological basis of the study is the principles of historicism, objectivity and consistency. Results. The phases of the conflict are consistently studied, starting from the sending of the teachers to public works and ending with the dismissal. Strategies of behavior of the participants were identified, including complaints to officials and letters to the editorial offices of newspapers. Conclusions. In addition to the formal hierarchy, the institute had a system of informal relations. The most active members of the institute, which had weight and authority in the eyes of the staff, formed a common position on a number of significant issues and largely determined the attitude towards each member of the team. The authors come to the conclusion that it was the most active members of the institute that played a decisive role in the development and resolution of the conflict.
We consider the place of toponymic material in the professional activity of journalists of regional mass media. The toponymic issues of publications of the district media include etymological references to the current name of the settlement or its original versions (if the settlement was renamed), information about the disappeared settlements that were located on the territory of the district, modern and former names of streets and parts of the settlement, about people in whose honor settlements, streets, squares, alleys, squares, etc. were named, local toponymic legends and traditions. The purpose of the study is, using the example of regional newspapers of the Voronezh region, to identify local linguistic publications devoted to the currently existing and disappeared names of geographical objects (settlements, streets), to develop proposals for local linguistic education of journalists of regional media. It is concluded that journalists of regional newspapers in their publications actively use local existing and disappeared toponymic material, which can also be used by onomatologists as a serious source for scientific research. In conclusion, it was noted that scientists can also provide great scientific and methodological assistance to journalists in the effective search for new toponymic information for the preparation of interesting and informative local linguistic publications.
The essay raises questions about the origins of altruistic behaviour. A proper
understanding of such behaviours must take into account the evidence of our best
biological theories, which indicate that in the animal world (including Homo Sapiens
Sapiens) there is no place for genuine altruism. What we often mistakenly call
‘altruism’ is the result of selfish genes.

Abstract News media plays a vital role in communicating scientific evidence to the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Such communication is important for convincing the public to follow social distancing guidelines and to respond to health campaigns such as vaccination programmes. However, newspapers were criticised that they focus on the socio-political perspective of science, without explaining the nature of scientific works behind the government’s decisions. This paper examines the connections of the nature of science categories in the COVID-19 era by four local newspapers in the United Kingdom between November 2021 to February 2022. Nature of science refers to different aspects of how science works such as aims, values, methods and social institutions of science. Considering the news media may mediate public information and perception of scientific stories, it is relevant to ask how the various British newspapers covered aspects of science during the pandemic. In the period explored, Omicron variant was initially a variant of concern, and an increasing number of scientific evidence showed that the less severity of this variant might move the country from pandemic to endemic. We explored how news articles communicate public health information by addressing how science works during the period when Omicron variants surge. A novel discourse analysis approach, epistemic network analysis is used to characterise the frequency of connections of categories of the nature of science. The connection between political factors and the professional activities of scientists, as well as that with scientific practices are more apparent in left-populated and centralist outlets than in right-populated news outlets. Among four news outlets across the political spectrum, a left-populated newspaper, the Guardian, is not consistent in representing relations of different aspects of the nature of scientific works across different stages of the public health crisis. Inconsistency of addressing aspects of scientific works and a downplay of the cognitive-epistemic nature of scientific works likely lead to failure in trust and consumption of scientific knowledge by the public in the healthcare crisis.

Maintaining political stability and unity of the territory of the state is an important
task for any government. It becomes especially relevant in cases where different
territories of the state have ethnically different populations. Areas with mixed
populations, especially those driven by migration, are potential areas of stress.
Reasonable implementation of the rights and freedoms of citizens in economic and
cultural terms, freedom of movement, is a guarantee of stable development or at
least peaceful migration.
An analysis of the history of the creation of German national regions in the USSR
shows a picture of the gradual assimilation of the German population or its migration
outside the country. The article discusses the creation of a Azovsky Nemetsky
(German) National District to ensure economic and cultural rights. The work is
carried out on the basis of multifaceted sources.
As a result of the fulfillment of the goal of the study — the reconstruction of the
history of the region’s reconstruction against the background of the development
of the German national movement and the influence of its international obligations
on the country’s leadership, the following conclusions can be drawn. The creation
of the Azovsky Nemetsky (German) National District is culturally, economically
and politically expedient. Of interest there are also the conclusions about the
possibilities within the framework of the Azovsky Nemetsky (German) National
District to resolve the problems of emigration and migration, as well as the issues
of raising the standard of living of the population.

This study aims to reveal the phenomena, historical facts, and developments of Islamophobia in France from time to time and the government's attitude about it. The type of research is qualitative research, using historical methods. The data are collected from journals, newspapers, historical records and verbal reports. The results of this study indicate that there are changes in the reaction of the French authorities to Muslims. In 1914-1918 France accepted workers from Islamic countries. While between 1976 and 1989, massive places of worship were built, French Muslims also formed religious organizations and communities. However, several incidents of terrorism which occurred in various parts of the world that accuse Islam as the perpetrator behind it all, gave rise to the term 'Islamophobia' in the West. As a result, the French authorities made several regulations that clearly discriminated against Muslims. The issue of Islamophobia is based on at least three things; first, Islam has been considered an integral part of French society. Second, Islam is the cause of the economic recession. Third, the September 11 tragedy made Islam labeled as a terrorist actor.
This paper examines contemporary expressions of anti-Muslim prejudice in Western society. Representations of "Islam" and "Muslim" were collected in a 9.87 billion-word corpus of web-based newspapers and magazines published between 2010 and 2020, in order to identify and analyze usage and connotation. This paper adopts a corpus linguistics approach, in which an analysis of collocation (co-occurring words) and concordance (contextual) data was performed. The results reveal how Islam and Muslim are frequently framed negatively (e.g., as "radical", "extremist", "terrorist", and "violent"), while other negative stereotypes and images of Islam and Muslim people were frequently attested in the data. This paper further explores anti-Muslim linguicism in Anglophone countries and makes an original contribution to the wider debate on the issue of prejudice against Muslim people.

Mercury contamination in the Canadian Arctic is a significant concern. Some traditional food sources are contaminated by mercury and pose a health risk to local residents. Media can affect public awareness and opinions of environmental health risks. Therefore, it is important to understand how the risks associated with contaminants are communicated through the media. To better understand how the issue of mercury contamination in the Arctic has been presented in the media, a content analysis was conducted across 14 newspapers in the Canadian North and South. We examined how news sources presented the health risks of mercury in the Arctic, how mercury was defined, if pathways for self-efficacy (i.e., how a person can reduce his or her exposure to a hazard) were provided and who was quoted as an information source. Results demonstrate that few Indigenous people were cited as information sources, articles often failed to describe mercury to the reader and many did not provide direction to support self-efficacy. This study provides insight into how newspapers have communicated about mercury in the Canadian Arctic and suggests specific ways that this communication can be improved.
Recent years have witnessed the emigration of young Spanish people searching for labor opportunities. A decade after the beginning of the worldwide economic crisis in 2007, the rapid deterioration of living conditions and lack of opportunities for personal development combined with the breakdown of professional expectations have led thousands of young people to emigrate from Spain, creating the so-called youth exodus. The press has paid recurrent attention to this phenomenon, often using eye-catching headlines such as 'Brain Drain'. Given the regular interest of the media in this phenomenon, the objective of this research is to analyze the media coverage of the drain of Spanish talent capital, or the emigration of young Spanish people seeking a better future, to create a distributive map that defines the characteristics and trends of this coverage. The analyzed corpus comprises 346 articles from eight Spanish and eleven international newspapers. The articles were coded based on descriptive variables (i.e., author, publication year, newspaper and language) and categorical variables (i.e., section, method, approach to the phenomenon, assessment of the phenomenon and overview of the phenomenon). The results indicate a significant increase in press coverage over the past few years and reveal associations between assessment of the phenomenon and year and between assessment of the phenomenon and section. As a result of this research, new investigative lines are unveiled regarding the social construction of the phenomenon in the media and the identity and individual construction of the 'truncated careers' of young Spanish people.
The study of the relationship between politics and religion is important to understand the current society of Bangladesh. It is believed that the reason for the separation of the Indian subcontinent into two parts: India and Pakistan was a religious factor. East Bengal became part of Pakistan, called East Pakistan. In Pakistan Islam was the state religion, which was reflected in the entire social life of Bengalis. In East Pakistan, most of the people are Bengalis and speak in Bangla, culture, traditions and way of life were historically connected with the peoples of India. In Pakistan, the state language was Urdu. The authorities of west Pakistan pressed the people of East Pakistan to study Urdu in educational institutions, tried to ignore the Bangla language, limiting the activities of newspapers and radio, which caused discontent among the population. A considerable time in educational institutions was devoted to the study of religion. Many decisions of local authorities were adopted and executed on the behalf of Islam. The authorities of Pakistan suppressed the people with this policy by mass repressions. Particularly bloody repressions against the Bengali people were held in 1971. As a result of a popular uprising, armed struggle and the expulsion of troops, this part of Pakistan has become an independent country. In 1972, after the establishment of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, secularism became one of the fundamental principles of the Constitution of Bangladesh. The article analyzes the political process through which religion becomes part of politics, using the historical method of research. Although the Constitution says that religion is separated from the state, but until now religion is considered a very important factor in the politics of Bangladesh.
The article raises the issues of the applying of electronic technologies in the work with periodicals which is an integral part of library collections, as well as the inclusion of library work in text media Internet. Libraries computerization and internetization have arranged conditions for the formation and maintenance of the electronic catalog, creation of corporate associations. That made possible to integrate libraries efforts in the analytical processing of newspapers and magazines to make card index of articles, periodicals digitizing of previous years and the formation of electronic collections of these publications. Readers of library sites got an access to analytical and bibliographic products according to press materials. Information about new receipts, exhibitions of virtual books, reference of publications are in open source now. Libraries have the best information on central press periodicals in their region or locality. They work with these publications, create databases and paper files, provide references to the readers, fulfill the function of recommendation bibliography. The V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine Service of information and analytical support of the authorities (SIAZ) has extensive experience in identification and serving relevant information from massive document repositories. The Service prepares series of thematic papers, access to which is open through the website of V. I. Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. An analysis of the websites of public libraries has found that in order to improve library services and public awareness it is necessary to include recommendatory lists of media in library web sites. Unification and simplification of the rubricator layout of library sites should lead to optimization of the resource using.

BackgroundYounger adults are difficult to engage in preventive health, yet in Australia they are gaining more weight and increasing in waist circumference faster than middle-to-older adults. A further challenge to engaging 18- to 35-year-olds in interventions is the limited reporting of outcomes of recruitment strategies.
ObjectiveThis paper describes the outcomes of strategies used to recruit young adults to a randomized controlled trial (RCT), healthy lifestyle mHealth program, TXT2BFiT, for prevention of weight gain. The progression from enquiry through eligibility check to randomization into the trial and the costs of recruitment strategies are reported. Factors associated with nonparticipation are explored.
MethodsParticipants were recruited either via letters of invitation from general practitioners (GPs) or via electronic or print advertisements, including Facebook and Google—social media and advertising—university electronic newsletters, printed posters, mailbox drops, and newspapers. Participants recruited from GP invitation letters had an appointment booked with their GP for eligibility screening. Those recruited from other methods were sent an information pack to seek approval to participate from their own GP. The total number and source of enquiries were categorized according to eligibility and subsequent completion of steps to enrolment. Cost data and details of recruitment strategies were recorded.
ResultsFrom 1181 enquiries in total from all strategies, 250 (21.17%) participants were randomized. A total of 5311 invitation letters were sent from 12 GP practices—16 participating GPs. A total of 131 patients enquired with 68 participants randomized (68/74 of those eligible, 92%). The other recruitment methods yielded the remaining 182 randomized participants. Enrolment from print media was 26% of enquiries, from electronic media was 20%, and from other methods was 3%. Across all strategies the average cost of recruitment was Australian Dollar (AUD) $139 per person. The least expensive modality was electronic (AUD $37), largely due to a free feature story on one university Web home page, despite Facebook advertising costing AUD $945 per enrolment. The most expensive was print media at AUD $213 and GP letters at AUD $145 per enrolment.
ConclusionsThe research indicated that free electronic media was the most cost-effective strategy, with GP letters the least expensive of the paid strategies in comparison to the other strategies. This study is an important contribution for future research into efficacy, translation, and implementation of cost-effective programs for the prevention of weight gain in young adults. Procedural frameworks for recruitment protocols are required, along with systematic reporting of recruitment strategies to reduce unnecessary expenditure and allow for valuable public health prevention programs to go beyond the research setting.

This article deals with the introduction, the management and the use of the videogames in the library services. The reasons for reassessing the videogame medium in cultural institutions have been examined, along with the features of its language and its possible applications (circulation, gaming...). Manuals on the specific management of the game in the library, from circulation to gaming in library have been taken into account during the writing of this paper, as well as essays and articles on videogames (on blogs and online newspapers). The debate with librarians who have experience in these services have also led to a detailed analysis of the current reality, both in Italy and abroad. The introduction of videogames can causes some preservation, space, provisions, cataloging issues. There is still little attention to the cultural value of videogames, especially in Italy, but libraries starting similar are growing, as well as the interest on this topic by other institutions, although Italy is still lagging behind other Nations.

This study aims to describe newspaper attitudes towards and views of corruption
cases in Indonesia, manifested in (anti-)corruption editorials. Newspaper attitudes are
manifested through two frames, namely the one criticizing corruption news and the
other supporting corruption news. The data were collected through a literature review
and a recording method. They were analyzed by the correspondence and participatory
methods. The findings are as follows. First, by criticizing corruption news, Koran Tempo
in its two editorials indicates a disagreement over corruption news. The disagreement is
caused by several weird facts in the court and the defense for the corruption investigator
who, quite the contrary, was sent to prison. Second, with a frame of supporting corruption
news, Kompas, Republika, Koran Tempo, Jawa Pos, and Suara Merdeka have attitudes and
views indicating agreement to support corruption news in newspapers. The support
refers to efforts to eradicate corruption that can be manifested in the arrest of a suspect
in corruption, the court, and the verdict on a suspect in corruption.
The classical promotional media, especially the television, have been often criticized for the contradictory effects that they have on the consumers. Compared to those, the Internet and social networks that support them represent an interactive environment, because consumers have more time and space to evaluate the products compared with the traditional seconds or tens of seconds of the TV spots or the few printed lines in newspapers. The promotion on the web and social media have an important role in consumers' informing, by providing the data they need for the purchasing decision, by providing feedback from others etc. For example, in the discussion groups and social networking sites, such products/services and software news are discussed and carefully evaluated by a permanent feedback from users, their responses being made posted on the internet.
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td>The paper investigates the promotion of books through advertising in the newspapers published in Osijek in the second half of the 19th century. From late 18th century and in the course of the 19th century’s intense developments in the publishing of newspapers and journals, advertising in this medium was one of the ways to promote books. Booksellers and publishers advertised books in newspaper ads, relying on the fact that newspapers had become a common and omnipresent medium for disseminating information. Book advertisements were evidence of the position of books in relation to other aspects of culture and society, of the approach to their promotion and, finally, of the importance of book promotion.<br /> <br /> In order to investigate how and how much book ads were present, and how Croatian books were promoted and reached the readership, the paper analyses daily and monthly publications, such as Esseker allgemeine illustrierte Zeitung from 1869, Die Drau from 1968 to 1877, and Branislav from 1878. Among the eleven different papers published in the second half of the 19th century in Osijek, these were selected for their content, as they were the first illustrated newspapers (Esseker allgemeine illustrierte Zeitung). The investigation focused on the influence of the newly emerged illustrated press and on the influence of the newspapers published in Croatian language (Branislav), as a<br /> possible tool for spreading and promotion of Croatian books. Another focus was on the influence of continued publication and on the growth of a steady readership (Die Drau). The papers were analysed with the aim to locate book advertisements which were then subjected to content analysis. Also provided is a brief overview of the book production and publication in Croatia and in Osijek at the time, and an overview of the emergence of newspapers in Osijek with a brief account of the titles selected for study in order to gain an insight into the context in which book ads appeared.<br /> <br /> It was found that book advertising coincided with the emergence of newspapers, with ads at first appearing only occasionally, but later, with the development and spreading of newspapers, more frequently. Book ads were not, for the most part, included in the sections reserved for advertising but, rather, in the sections covering cultural matters, notices, daily news, etc. Visually, they were not prominent and were addressed at the existing readership, especially in the German newspapers. They may be divided into several categories: ads for books published outside Osijek and Croatia, ads for books available in Osijek’s bookshops, ads for newspapers and journals, and printers’ ads. Only a small number of book ads were printed in the ads section. Information included in the ads covered the title, author’s name, content, price, publisher and the name of the bookseller.<br /> <br /> Attached is a bibliography of advertisements in the above-listed newspapers.</td></tr> <tr><td> </td></tr> <tr><td><strong>Keywords:</strong><br />books; book advertising; newspapers; advertisements; Osijek; printing; 19th century</td></tr></tbody></table>

Based on a pilot study this article examines the research hypotheses in the field of online-journalism, with particular focus on the Nordic literature. It argues that the growth of online journalism and online newspapers is not necessarily the case of new kind of journalism; on the one hand, the pilot study confirms a blurring of the relationship between journalists and readers, and a change in the form of continuous real-time editing and publishing. Yet it appears that many of the characteristics of online journalism are well known, and thus, the development might rather be seen as a radicalisation of some traditional journalistic routines in the production of news. A radicalization that indicates that news in the Digital Age can be seen as a dynamic process rather than a static product.
