Shifting Power Dynamics: Media Capture and Platform Dominance in Journalism
This study utilizes the concept of “media capture” as a theoretical framework to explore the political and economic control exerted over the media landscape in Morocco. It expands the analysis to include emerging forms of media capture, particularly with the rise of digital platforms and the influence of global tech giants like Google and Meta. These new dimensions of capture transcend traditional notions of media control based solely on economic…
An Examination of the Connections Between Visual Communication and Pop Culture
Visual communication plays a substantial role in society and, particularly in the framework of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), assumes a pivotal position in both shaping and mirroring its cultural milieu. Visual communication has played a decisive part in the transmission and interpretation of Emirati culture inside the United Arab Emirates (UAE). It encompasses a wide range of artistic expressions, both ancient and contemporary, that serve as ve…
Population-level risks of alcohol consumption by amount, geography, age, sex, and year: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2020
BACKGROUND: The health risks associated with moderate alcohol consumption continue to be debated. Small amounts of alcohol might lower the risk of some health outcomes but increase the risk of others, suggesting that the overall risk depends, in part, on background disease rates, which vary by region, age, sex, and year. METHODS: For this analysis, we constructed burden-weighted dose-response relative risk curves across 22 health outcomes to esti…
Cancer Incidence, Mortality, Years of Life Lost, Years Lived With Disability, and Disability-Adjusted Life Years for 29 Cancer Groups From 2010 to 2019: A Systematic Analysis for the Global Burden of …
IMPORTANCE: The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study 2019 (GBD 2019) provided systematic estimates of incidence, morbidity, and mortality to inform local and international efforts toward reducing cancer burden. OBJECTIVE: To estimate cancer burden and trends globally for 204 countries and territories and by Sociodemographic Index (SDI) quintiles from 2010 to 2019. EVIDENCE REVIEW: The GBD 2019 estimation methods were used t…
Hearing loss prevalence and years lived with disability, 1990–2019: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
BACKGROUND: Hearing loss affects access to spoken language, which can affect cognition and development, and can negatively affect social wellbeing. We present updated estimates from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study on the prevalence of hearing loss in 2019, as well as the condition's associated disability. METHODS: We did systematic reviews of population-representative surveys on hearing loss prevalence from 1990 to 2019. We fitted nested…
Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2019: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
BACKGROUND: Regularly updated data on stroke and its pathological types, including data on their incidence, prevalence, mortality, disability, risk factors, and epidemiological trends, are important for evidence-based stroke care planning and resource allocation. The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) aims to provide a standardised and comprehensive measurement of these metrics at global, regional, and national leve…
How to Read and Understand the Value Determinism Theory of the media? A semantic Structural Approach
The value determinism theory of media is one of contemporary normative communication theories that is associated with the writing of Abderrahmane Azzi since the mid-1980s. This study identifies and clarifies the perspective of the theory based on a structural approach according to the following axes: priory of the theory over its parts; priority of the theory relationship over the parts; theory as a context; principle of synchronization and diach…
