The article analyzes lexical items, the augmentatives, that are used in the language of modern mass media; it is defined new lexical items and expansion of the sphere of their functioning in media materials on social and political and other subjects; it is defined the functional and stylistic role of augmentatives in the language of the press and negative assessment in publicistic materials. The descriptive research method and observation method were used as main in studying augmentatives in the language of Ukrainian periodicals of the XXI century. At different stages of the research the method of functional analysis was used to determine the stylistic load of lexical items. It is concluded that in the language of Ukrainian periodicals, the augmentatives are rarely used, unlike diminutives. They most often have a negative assessment function, representing neglect, condemnation, contempt, etc. Sometimes, with the help of augmentatives, they show the size of the object, phenomenon, or a living being that the author writes about. In general, the augmentatives give some expressive coloring to the text.

Social awareness means that you should know what is socially acceptable from you in society and you should act in that manner. Mass media has a prominent role to play in modern society. It can bring about radical changes and improve social situation as it influences our social, civil, cultural, political, economic and aesthetic outlook.Modernization has converted media into an indispensable feature of human activity. However, factors like age, education, economic condition, personal needs and availability of proper components decide the quantum and frequency of media use. This is evident from the fact that most media centres are located in urban areas. The majority of consumers of media products are also concentrated in and around cities and towns.

It has been well-documented recently that 5 billion people globally lack surgical care. Also well-documented is the need to improve mass casualty disaster response. Many of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030—healthcare and economic milestones—require significant improvement in global surgical care, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. Trauma/stroke centres evolved in high-income countries with evidence that 24/7/365 surgical and critical care markedly improved morbidity and mortality for trauma and stroke and for cardiovascular events, difficult childbirth, acute abdomen. Duplication of emergency services, especially civilian and military, often results in suboptimal, expensive care. By combining all healthcare resources within the ongoing healthcare system, more efficient care for both individual emergencies and mass casualty situations can be achieved. We describe progress in establishing mass casualty centres in Chile and Pakistan. In both locations, planning among the stakeholders (primarily civilian and military) indicates the feasibility of such integrated surgical and emergency care. We also review other programmes and initiatives to provide integrated mass casualty disaster response. Integrated mass casualty centres are a feasible means to improve both day-to-day surgical care and mass casualty disaster response. The humanitarian aspect of mass casualty disasters facilitates integration among stakeholders—from local healthcare systems to military resources to international healthcare organisations. The benefits of mass casualty centres—both healthcare and economic—can facilitate achieving the 2030 UN SDGs.

User-generated content is a term used to describe the division between culture produced as a commodity for consumption and the culture that is generated by people acting as creative beings without any market incentive. While under current copyright law all types of creativity are protected, the laws of copyright exist primarily to protect commercial forms of expression, not the non-commercial ones that form the foundation of user-generated content. The disconnect between what current copyright law protects and how most people create generates tensions that must be addressed. This Article presents an argument for broader protection of all creative work, including creative work built upon the work of others. It recognizes that authors exist outside the commercial sphere of the culture industry and that works of authorship, broadly conceived, are built upon the works of others. It is time to demand change to our copyright policy--change that facilitates a type of self-expression that has been mislabeled "user-generated content." Part I of this Article sketches the evolution of the term "user-generated content" in order to identify the politics inherent in the definition and how technology has changed our relationship with entertainment and information. Part II deconstructs the assumptions behind the term "user-generated content" in order to clarify its political economy. Part III maps the "problem" of user-generated content by focusing on the example of YouTube in order to highlight the flow of ideas that are inherent in culture, and argues that the problem is not the user, but the over-commodification of culture. Part IV offers several recommendations for policy changes, and Part V concludes by arguing that it is time to strike a new balance between commercial interests and the public at large.

Facebook played a considerable role during the political uprisings of the so called 'Arab Spring' in 2011. Together with Al-Jazeera, it was one of the few reliable sources of information for protesters at that time. In this paper, we explore the media landscape in Tunisia two years after the uprising. We conducted a qualitative investigation (participant observation and interviewing) with young Tunisians. The paper describes how they use Facebook (FB), newspapers, and TV for gaining information and for exchange. By that time, FB was their primary medium for access to political information. They prefer the variety and diversity of user-generated content, they select information, discuss issues among their friends inside FB and with that, co-create meaning and trust. It seems that both traditional censorship in the national mass media and the revolutionary experience have created a unique media landscape among young Tunisians. Facebook still plays a leading role for many in that landscape, but there remains a 'digital divide'.

The article of record as published may be found at http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.mathsocsci.2007.05.004 ; We examine the role played by information in shaping popular expectations in the process of political mobilization, and the development of revolutionary movements in particular. The vast majority of the people face the trade-off between the 'risky' option of joining the revolutionary movement and the 'safe' option of supporting the present regime. The large majority of the people are influenced by the expectations of a successful campaign of either political side. Only if the expected or perceived support for the opposition exceeds a critical mass, does the revolution become effective. We show that the growth-dynamics of revolutionary movements heavily depends on the parameters determining the perception of the actual state of support. And, we will argue that it is the informational aspect that provides the necessary bias to get out of the self-confirming outsider position. Especially, as we argue, it provides an explanation for the symbolic violence used by terrorist groups as it serves them as an instrument by which the mobilization dynamics is turned into a format where information has the largest impact. Surprisingly, this will in general be the situation where a majority of the people dissents from the acts of terror. ; Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Daniel Masse talks with Jon Jerome Warman about his early life in the military abroad as well as his political activism in Missoula and the surrounding area after he returned to the states. He remembers the absolute poverty and fear of citizens in Japan and Germany where he served and traveled shortly after World War Two. He then transitions into speaking on his work in local politics in Missoula in the 1970s. He details his time in leading Citizens against Mansfield in order to retain gun rights, as well as his struggle in court about the state encroaching on his property for public works projects. He also recalled working as a part of the Posse Comitatus, an armed citizen-organized militia, which advocated for the rights of citizens to arrest citizens as well as operate as a checks and balances system to local sheriff's offices. ; https://scholarworks.umt.edu/mtpolitics_oralhistory/1012/thumbnail.jpg
