Geschlechtsspezifische Gewalt ist ein allgegenwärtiges Thema, wobei die Repräsentation in den Medien bedeutsam für oder gegen die Verbreitung von Diskriminierung gegenüber Betroffenen ist. Der Beitrag stellt eine Studie vor, bei der eine Medieninhaltsanalyse der acht Hauptsender des deutschen Fernsehens im Rahmen zwei künstlicher Wochen des Jahres 2020 während der Pre-Primetime und Primetime (18-22 Uhr) durchgeführt wurde. Von den 545 Sendungen ließen sich in gut einem Drittel geschlechtsspezifische Gewalthandlungen identifizieren. Diese werden zum Großteil explizit dargestellt oder ausführlich beschrieben. Zudem konnten diverse Leerstellen in Hinblick auf die Repräsentation Betroffener, Beratungsstellen und Hilfsangebote sowie Professioneller der Anti-Gewaltarbeit festgestellt werden. Die Ergebnisse der Studie unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit, das Thema ausführlich zu diskutieren und für eine differenzierte und aufklärende Repräsentation in den Medien zu sensibilisieren.

Ein wichtiges Ziel der Gesundheitskommunikation ist das Empowerment von Individuen durch die Bereitstellung von Information, sowie deren Beeinflussung von und Einbindung in Gesundheitsentscheidungen. Dabei wird das Empowerment-Konzept oft aus der individuellen Perspektive betrachtet. Diese Perspektive vernachlässigt aber die Multidimensionalität und Vielschichtigkeit des Konzepts, denn individuelles Empowerment stellt bspw. auch eine wichtige Voraussetzung für Gruppenempowerment oder kollektives Empowerment dar, da Einzelpersonen immer auch Mitglieder verschiedenster Gruppen sind. Dieser Aspekt soll daher im vorliegenden Beitrag vertiefend thematisiert werden. Dafür möchten wir die Ergebnisse einer systematischen Literaturrecherche von Studien aus den letzten 20 Jahren vorstellen, die sich mit dem Konzept von Empowerment im Bereich der Gesundheitskommunikation befassen. Die Ergebnisse unseres Reviews zeigen auf, dass einige allgemeinere Begriffsdefinitionen nach wie vor verwendet werden, jedoch auch eine Tendenz zu spezielleren Definitionen erkennbar ist. Brücken zu neueren Konzepten, wie health literacy oder digitalen Medien stellen noch nicht die Norm dar. Zudem wird auch der Zusammenhang zwischen individuellem und kollektiven Empowerment häufig vernachlässigt.

This paper aims to analyze how Govinda Raj Bhattarai has recapitulated the public angst, the deteriorated socio-economic condition, and the cultural downfall of Nepal during the period of ten years of Maoist civil war. The characters of the novel, Ananta, Purnima, Bhaktaman, Chitrakar, and others confront various problems in their lives due to the political instability and domestic war or the Maoist civil war. Through the close reading of the text from the perspectives of trauma theory, with special references of the trauma theorists, Cathy Caruth, Jeffrey C. Alexander, and the like, the paper focuses on why and how the Maoist waged war against the imposition of the social, political, spiritual ideologies by the ruling parties, that is by the monarchical systems. The research finding is that the domestic war leads to nothing but trauma, demolition, anarchy, fights, in the life of the public, signified through the experiences of the emotionally wounded characters.

"Deutschland ist Innovationsland." So zumindest die knappe Fest-stellung des Koalitionsvertrags der neuen Regierung aus SPD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen und FDP zu Beginn des Abschnitts "Innovation, Wissenschaft, Hochschule und Forschung". Die neue Regierungskoalition kommt dem Innovationsimparativ (Passoth & Rammert 2018)augenscheinlich nach. Die neuen Partner hatten bereits im Wahlkampf ein "Innovationsfreiheitsgesetz"1 gefordert oder auf die "Entfesselung der Innovationskraft der Sozialen Marktwirtschaft"2 gesetzt. Der neuen Regierung hatte auch die EFI Expertenkommission mit auf den Weg gegeben, sie müsse "einen kohärenten Politikansatz (verfolgen), der den gesamten Innovationsprozess – von der Grundlagenforschung bis zur Anwendung – in den Blick nimmt und dem sich alle Ressorts verpflichtet fühlen" (EFI 2021c: 31). Die Ampelkoalition hat am 24.11.2021 ihren Vertrag für die Zusammenarbeit für die 20. Legislaturperiode vorgelegt. Unter dem Titel "Mehr Fortschritt wagen" treffen die Koalitionspartner SPD, Bündnis 90/Die Grünen und FDP auf fast 180 Seiten Absprachen über Politikinhalte und die Ressortverteilung. Mit Blick auf Forschungs‐ und Innovationspolitik überrascht vielleicht zunächst, dass kein Digitalministerium entsteht. Vor allem bemerkenswert erscheint aber, dass der Bereich F&I deutlich die Handschrift der beiden Koalitionäre Bündnis 90/Die Grünen und FDP trägt. Deutlich wird dies in der Gründung einer Innovationsagentur DATI, die als Fusion der Vorschläge einer Deutschen Transfergesellschaft(FDP) und einer Transformationsagentur D.Innova (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) zu sehen ist. Missionsorientierung in der Forschungspolitik wird ebenso adressiert wie Digitalisierung und ressortübergreifende Koordination. Im Folgenden wird der Koalitionsvertrag mit Blick auf F&I‐Politik dahingehend analysiert, ob er einem missionsorientierten, holistischen Ansatz von Innovation entspricht oder sich immer noch stark an Technologien orientiert und soziale Innovationen vernachlässigt. Nachdem der Start der neuen Regierung noch voll unter dem Eindruck der Corona‐Pandemie und außenpolitischen Spannungen in den Beziehungen zu Russland und China steht, werden die konkreten Inhalte der F&I‐Politik erst im weiteren Verlauf der Regierungszeit der Ampel‐Koalition zutage treten. Wie bedeutend diese Politikfelder allerdings sind, zeigen die Themen der Energieversorgung, des Ressourcenverbrauchs und der Ausgestaltung des Wissenschaftssystems, die auch die letzten Monate des Jahres 2021 und den Start 2022 prägen, auch wenn sie weniger mediale Präsenz haben. Von der neuen Regierung wird sicherlich eine integrierte und ressortübergreifende Politik in zentralen Politikfeldern gefordert sein. Das wiederum wird zeigen, welcher normativen Konsens jenseits des Bekenntnisses zu Fortschritt die Koalition trägt. Gerade die EU hat durch Missionsorientierung, SDGs oder den Green Deal auch normativ Rahmen gesetzt, die auch von Deutschland gefüllt und interpretiert werden müssen. Wie auzuführen sein wird, sind Koalitionsverträge keine einklagbaren Verträge. Sie geben aber fundierte Hinweise auf die Absicht zur Ausgestaltung von Politikfeldern, wie hier der Forschungs‐ und Innovationspolitik und der davon betroffenen Ressorts. Koalitionsverträge haben an Bedeutung in der jüngsten Vergangenheit zugenommen, weshalb hier der Vertrag der Fortschrittskoalition analysiert wird.

BACKGROUND: Measles is a highly contagious disease that has caused global morbidity and mortality. Though great progress has been made in measles elimination, the resurgence of measles has been observed in recent years. As extant literature were mainly confined to data of local area, we conducted a systematic analysis to explore the trends of the incidence of measles, coverage rate, and the risk factors from 1990 to 2019 on global, regional, and national levels. METHODS: Data on cases of incidence, age standardized rate (ASR), vaccine coverage, and risk factors of measles were retrieved from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2019 database. Estimated averaged percentage change (EAPC) of ASR was calculated to quantify the trends of measles incidence. Pearson correlation was applied to assess the association of EAPC and measles-containing vaccine coverage rate with socio-demographic index (SDI) in 2019, and the correlation between ASR and measles-containing vaccine coverage rate. RESULTS: Globally, there was a significant decrease in the number (84.18%) and ASR (6.13%, 95% CI: 5.41–6.84%) of measles incidence from 1990 to 2019. More than 80% of incidence cases were attributed to children under 5 and the proportion was highest in low SDI region. Countries and territories with low ASRs are mostly clustered in North America, Southern Latin America, and Western Europe, whereas those with high ASRs are mainly clustered in Africa, East Asia, and South Asia. Lower SDI was associated with higher ASR and lower vaccine coverage rate. The more the SDI value was further away from 0.6, the smaller the absolute value did EAPC have. Child wasting accounted for the most measles-related death cases, followed by child underweight, child stunting, and vitamin A deficiency. CONCLUSIONS: Measles eradication is feasible, but urgently demands political commitment, financial support, and public engagement. In the context of COVID-19 pandemic and the global resurgence of measles, surveillance systems and routine immunization ...

International audience ; This article discusses the last decade of debates about the evidence of the angel and sweat like drops of blood, in the Gospel according to Luke 22:43–44, on the Mount of Olives, shortly before the arrestation of Jesus. Based notably on the three most ancient witnesses, 0171, P75, and P69, it supports the hypothesis of an early omission resulting from disagreements among Judeo-Christians in Egypt, in the first half of the second century CE. The reception of the figure of a Jesus martyr, strengthened by a silent angel in a fight of prayers, had become a bone of contention: this motive had become embarrassing for Judeo-Christians in the sensitive political context of the Diaspora Revolt (115-117), until it was withdrawn from the text. The memory of the fighting Jesus has then survived in minority circles, as attested in several sources reporting the angel's words.

The results of the 2016 general elections in South Korea were of surprise to most observers. Contrary to the expectation that the conservative ruling party, New Frontier Party (NFP), of President Park Geun Hye would again win the supermajority in parliament, it was in fact the main opposition party, the liberal Together Democratic Party (TDP), that won - beating the NFP by one seat, and in the process becoming the new majority party with 123 MPs in the 300 seat-strong national assembly. It is obvious that the voters did not suddenly favor the fairly incompetent TDP, but rather that the Korean people taught their government a lesson and showed through their voting their discontent with President Park's way of handling state affairs. In addition the very recently established Citizens' Party (CP), led by self-made IT businessman Ahn Cheol Soo, won 38 seats, and will nowform an independent negotiation group in the national chamber. The CP markets itself as a moderate and rational conservative party. Its success is the result of voters' discontent with the TDP's shift to the right due to the recruitment as party leader of Kim Chong In, who previously worked for several of the country's authoritarian governments; regionalistic sentiment in the Honam region also translated into altered voting behavior. However it remains to be seen, at least until the upcoming presidential election in 2017, whether this constellation of a divided government will indeed continue or not.

Source at https://www.prio.org/publications/12987 . ; While the criminal law and security governance aspects of the July 22 terror attack in Norway have been extensively analyzed in the academic literature, much less attention has been given to processes involving civil law, legal mobilization and legal-bureaucratic processes. The slow workings of the law mean that the aftermath of July 22 is still unfolding in different legal processes. This PRIO paper carves out a socio-legal research agenda intended to bridge the aforementioned knowledge gap. In so doing, it identifies various aspects of how the law deals with survivors, their families and the bereaved. It also addresses the legal debates over memorials and the reconstruction and securitization of the Norwegian Government Quarter. We argue that in choosing between extraordinary and ordinary legal mechanisms and instruments to deal with the terror attack, the state and the legal system have opted for the latter. This emphasis on "ordinary law" must be investigated. We are interested in how law distributes resources, rights and identities and sets limits on government interventions – and how individual actors and organizations mobilize the law to shape the political, popular and legal narratives around July 22.
