Falkof, Nicky. "On Moral Panic: Some Directions for Further Development". Critical Sociology 46, n. 2 (15 ottobre 2018): 225–39. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0896920518803698.
Abstract (sommario):
This article is concerned with the continued salience of the notion of moral panic, an idea that has been both enormously influential in sociological and media research and has come under fire for various flaws. It reviews some of the most common critiques of moral panic, discussing why these are valid and where they fall short, and adds new comments on some weaknesses in the theory. It goes on to argue that the term and the idea of moral panic continue to have value as critical tools, but require updating. Suggested further developments include broadening moral panic to allow for analyses that consider the global south; taking account of the narrative layering that characterises these episodes; considering the intersection of moral panics and digital media; centralising fear and anxiety in moral panic research; considering moral panics as an interdisciplinary framework rather than as a strict model; and invoking a psychoanalytic rhetoric to further explain how moral panics work and what they do.

Spurgeon, Christina. "The ‘Digital/Life’ Moral Panic". Media International Australia 92, n. 1 (agosto 1999): 43–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1329878x9909200107.
Abstract (sommario):
This paper attempts to make sense of recent debates concerning broadcast media self-regulation of sex and nudity. It focuses on a period in mid-1998 when Sex/Life disappeared from Australian TV screens. Specifically, it tracks a ‘moral panic’ in progress at the time the Ten Network announced its decision to cancel this program. It describes and summarises findings of a quantitative analysis of the editorial content of 17 Australian newspapers monitored in 1998 for references to media portrayal of sex and nudity. The particular role of The Australian in this panic is considered. Its quest for a popular national readership is highlighted and the question of media influence is raised. This report also contrasts the political responses to Sex/Life with more recent responses to Bay Watch and concludes with some speculative remarks about the economic impact of censorship and program classification regimes.

Hier, Sean. "Moral panics and digital-media logic: Notes on a changing research agenda". Crime, Media, Culture: An International Journal 15, n. 2 (6 giugno 2018): 379–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1741659018780183.
Abstract (sommario):
This research note critically comments on the lack of attention that moral panic scholars are devoting to the ways in which changing digital media formats are reshaping the dynamics of interaction involved in public claims-making, modes of audience engagement, and techniques of regulation and control. Angela McRobbie and Sarah Thornton’s seminal deconstruction of conventional moral panic studies is used as a point of departure to supplement the logic of mass mediation with insights into some of the structuring principles that ground the logic of digital mediation.

Walsh, James P. "Social media and moral panics: Assessing the effects of technological change on societal reaction". International Journal of Cultural Studies 23, n. 6 (28 marzo 2020): 840–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1367877920912257.
Abstract (sommario):
Answering calls for deeper consideration of the relationship between moral panics and emergent media systems, this exploratory article assesses the effects of social media – web-based venues that enable and encourage the production and exchange of user-generated content. Contra claims of their empowering and deflationary consequences, it finds that, on balance, recent technological transformations unleash and intensify collective alarm. Whether generating fear about social change, sharpening social distance, or offering new opportunities for vilifying outsiders, distorting communications, manipulating public opinion, and mobilizing embittered individuals, digital platforms and communications constitute significant targets, facilitators, and instruments of panic production. The conceptual implications of these findings are considered.

Abstract (sommario):
Parents googling for information about what their children do in the digital network find a number of alarming reports. First of all, they relate to the harmfulness of technology addiction. Why? Is the google search algorithm an amplifier of the moral panic related to online practices of teenagers? This paper attempts to analyse internet discourse including the role played by technology. To describe the phenomena I discuss, I propose the term cyber panic.

Abstract (sommario):
Due to proceeding digitalisation, online communication and online entertainment play a significant role in the lives of many people, who spend great amounts of time online. Although excessive and pathological forms of online behaviour do exist, the impact of internet usage on mental health depends on many individual and social circumstances. A central issue within the scientific debate is the concept of Internet Addiction. However, there is neither a scientific consensus about proper diagnostic criteria, nor a consensus whether such a pathology exists at all. Nevertheless, popularised scientific literature and panic mongering media reports warn about Internet Addiction and its harmful consequences. This is an ethical problem: those unjustified claims stigmatise especially young people and pathologise their leisure activities – such as online gaming and online social networking. Parents, teachers and students are often misguided by the public debate. This article outlines problems of the concept of Internet Addiction and gives some suggestions of how to deal with it in philosophy-classes in schools.

Beckerman, Morgan. "The Digital Dollar Is Coming and May Be Problematic". American Journal of Accounting 5, n. 1 (27 aprile 2023): 34–37. http://dx.doi.org/10.47672/ajacc.1436.
Abstract (sommario):
Purpose: The aim of the study is to examine the potential problems with the new proposed Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) known as the digital dollar.
Methodology: Qualitative research design examining pertinent and timely studies and articles about several aspects of the CBDC. Kuznichenko’s study used the Vector Autoregressive model to examine volatility spillover to the CBDC from equity markets. Most studies researched on the subject were Qualitative as well.
Findings: The CBDC, although providing benefits like payment efficiency, cross-border transactions, and less illegal activity than a cryptocurrency, also has potential downsides. During periods of financial panic, people can run from banks to the digital dollar. These bank runs could be even worse because whereas normal bank runs cause deposits to be moved from one bank to another, in this case, deposits would be moved out of the banking system entirely, into the digital dollar. Another theoretical problem with the digital dollar is a potential lack of individual privacy. Because the government would have a permanent blockchain record of all transactions and access to a person’s finances, this could cause potential government overreach. Lastly, although unlikely, if the Federal Reserve does not regulate the CBDC to the extent that it needs to be, volatility spillover from equity and forex markets could problematic to the stability of the digital dollar.
Recommendations: Theoretically, policymakers can manage risk using the knowledge that the CBDC can exacerbate financial panics and instability. Increased regulation would be necessary to avoid potential volatility and bank runs during financial panics.

Kuzmanović, Dobrinka. "From "digital natives" to "digital cretins": Youth and digital divides". Kultura, n. 176 (2022): 55–75. http://dx.doi.org/10.5937/kultura2276055k.
Abstract (sommario):
In this paper, the author analyzes the phenomena of the first-level, second-level and third-level digital divide in the context of generations "digitalized from birth", with a focus on individual differences in the digital literacy of young people - the second-level digital divide. At the beginning of the 21st century, with the increasing availability of digital technology and the Internet, there is a gradual reduction of the digital divide - in terms of the availability of digital technologies, but, judging by empirical findings, it is also deepening - in terms of the digital literacy of young people and the benefits of using technology in everyday life. Despite this, the discourse about young people as "digital natives", after two decades since its appearance, is still present, especially in the media and in non-academic context. On the other hand, in recent years, under the cover of "moral panic", fueled by the COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasingly popular discourse about young people as "digital cretins", who, thanks to the intensive use of the Internet and "have fun until death" are becoming more and more "shallow", threatening to collapse the civilizational heritage of human society. Scientists and researchers have a complex task that requires a nuanced theoretical approach, devoid of "techno-utopian" and "techno-pessimistic" predictions.

Abstract (sommario):
This paper further reviews the Moral Panic Theory/TKM (Moral Panics Theory). This theory departs from sociological concepts that see conflict in society that departs from an issue that is dichotomously divided on the grounds of good and bad, right and wrong morality and is considered to have the potential to threaten national security in the long term. There are several linear stages in TKM in early TKM models initiated by Cohen (1972) and developed more or less similarly by Hall et al. (1978). Then came the constructionist model which was heavily influenced by Blumer's thinking. Technological developments and shifting issues from social problems such as motorcycle gangs, mugging and drugs to more sensitive social issues such as sexuality cause the dynamics and complexity of TKM analysis. The concepts of power and the role of the media, for example. This paper describes the initial concepts in TKM and its development in a situation of changing issues, power and development of mass media technology, which in the end must adapt to the existing situation.

Souissi, Soraya Ben, e Mahmoud Sami Nabi. "Could the Issuance of CBDC Reduce the Likelihood of Banking Panic?1". Journal of Central Banking Theory and Practice 12, n. 2 (1 maggio 2023): 83–101. http://dx.doi.org/10.2478/jcbtp-2023-0015.
Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This paper delves into the relationship between the issuance of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC) and the likelihood of banking panic. The issuance of CBDC acts as a disturbing shock that incentivizes depositors to withdraw all/part of their deposits from the commercial banks, to swap it for CBDC which are offered by the central bank. We determine a variety of tools that central banks can use in order for the issuance of CBDC to act as a stabilizing factor of the banking system (by reducing the likelihood of banking panic).

Abstract (sommario):
The Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak creates anxiety, panic, and fear for the public. The spread of the virus is rapid, which has caused the WHO to raise the status of the pandemic becoming global. Even though the amount recovered counted many, the mortality rate continues to increase. This is what makes people feel afraid and panicked. The panic itself is able to lower the power holding the body of man, which is where the power holds the body is very important for the prevention of Covid-19. Strengthening digital literacy is needed both during the pandemic and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this paper is to describe the importance of strengthening digital literacy for the community. The method of writing this article is a qualitative review, which the data retrieval is using the secondary data derived from materials reading print or electronic. The results of the discussion are, first, the public demand should be proficient in filtering the information that they receive. Second, during this pandemic, people must remain creative and productive to improve their standard of living. Third, during this pandemic, people need "refreshing" media through digital literacy to maintain mental health. In conclusion, strengthening people's digital literacy can be one of the keys to preventing COVID-19.

Abstract (sommario):
This article explores how young people – specifically teenagers between thirteen and nineteen years of age – choose to use the digital video-sharing app TikTok. A framework is proposed that moves away from discourses of media panic and toward understandings of media practice, analysing two videos created by teenagers to develop a vocabulary for identifying the diverse and nuanced ways in which young people negotiate their social lives through the use of TikTok.

Abstract (sommario):
Plagues have a physical existence. They also have mediated existence. The two are only circumstantially related, for, as is the case of all media and mediation, biological and digital existence do not necessarily correlate accurately, and media are as often used as a lamp to project political and philosophical idealism, that is, propaganda, as they are to serve as a mirror that reflects the external world realistically. Objective journalism, news spin, and fake news, conflated in the collective mind of the populace, are tools in the class struggle to control the social, cultural and political narrative. Plagues have been and continue to be mediated in drama, oral storytelling, in books, printed and manuscript, on the radio, on TV and in films, and in social media while the populace rails against and shouts its rage at TV screens.

Madsen, Lian Malai. "Media panic, medical discourse and the smartphone". International Journal of the Sociology of Language 2022, n. 275 (1 maggio 2022): 111–28. http://dx.doi.org/10.1515/ijsl-2021-0052.
Abstract (sommario):
Abstract This article investigates a space of upset related to the smartphone with its communicative affordances and implications. The notion of moral panic can be seen as a way of conceptualizing spaces of upset and their discursive frames. Informed by this concept and accounts of the panic discourses particularly directed at media, I examine the upset articulated in Danish media panic discourses, which grants authority from a medical perspective. In addition, I draw on the concept of medicalization and discuss how it becomes sayable within the space of upset related to digitally mediated communication that human interaction through a technological device is not (always) communication, but habit or addiction, to unpack the socio-cultural and sociolinguistic assumptions and implications of this perspective. Empirically, the article focuses on a particularly preeminent voice in the public debate in Denmark about the impact of social media and smartphone use, namely the voice of a medical doctor who has been granted the authority as “digital health expert” and frequently appears in Danish print, broadcast and social media.

Kribs, Kaitlyn. "Same as it ever was". Stream: Interdisciplinary Journal of Communication 12, n. 1 (15 dicembre 2020): 53–69. http://dx.doi.org/10.21810/strm.v12i1.283.
Abstract (sommario):
In this paper, I outline how the “piracy panic narrative” (Arditi, 2015) has repositioned the fan/musician dynamic in the digital era, from one between maker and listener to one between labourer and thief. The paper questions if the press has fairly assessed the fan/musician dynamic in the digital era and examines who has directly benefited from the reorganization of the relations between producer and consumer. The article provides a contemporary history of the American and Canadian music industries’ response to file sharing, crisis and piracy. Drawing on data from the 2017 Music Canada report on the Value Gap, the essay ultimately concludes that those most affected by the repositioning of the producer/consumer dynamic are not the various stakeholders whose voices are most frequently heard, but actually the musicians. The piracy panic narrative is thus nothing but an exercise in creating smoke and mirrors; music industries depict themselves as victims, all the while quietly rearranging their business practices to maintain a long-held position as gatekeeper.

Abstract (sommario):
Mit zunehmendem Zugang zum Internet hat sich das explorative Verhalten von Kindern zu Sexualität auch auf den Onlinebereich ausgeweitet. Dies führte zu einer Wiederbelebung der moralischen Panik rund um die kindliche Sexualität, insbesondere in Bezug auf das wachsende Phänomen des einvernehmlichen „Sextings“ zwischen Minderjährigen. Diese moralische Panik wird durch die Sorge um sexuellen Missbrauch und sexuelle Ausbeutung von Kindern im Kontext von „Kinderpornographie“ noch weiter befeuert. In dem Bestreben, Kinder vor solchen Straftaten zu schützen, wird einvernehmliches „Sexting“ zwischen Minderjährigen in manchen Ländern als Produktion und Verbreitung von „Kinderpornographie“ gewertet und führt so zur Strafverfolgung beteiligter Kinder als SexualstraftäterInnen. Das Recht auf Schutz vor sexuellem Missbrauch und Ausbeutung ist hier das dominierende Narrativ. Dieser Artikel argumentiert, dass die Kriminalisierung von Kindern aufgrund einvernehmlicher sexueller Erkundungen im Online-Raum kontraproduktiv für das Ziel des Kinderschutzes ist. Stattdessen sollten Länder in Fällen von einvernehmlichen „Sexting“ zwischen Minderjährigen einen auf Rechten basierenden Ansatz verfolgen und die widerstreitenden Interessen von Autonomie und Kinderschutz dadurch ausgleichen, dass sie das einvernehmliche „Sexting“ zwischen Minderjährigen aus dem Geltungsbereich der „Kinderpornografie“ ausschließen.

Shiddiqi, Faris Azzam, e Akhmad Akbar Susamto. "Impact of COVID-19 on the Behaviour of Islamic and Conventional Investors: Evidence from the Indonesia Stock Market Crash 2020". ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance 15, n. 3 (30 settembre 2023): 142–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.55188/ijif.v15i3.615.
Abstract (sommario):
Purpose — The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of the COVID-19 outbreak on Indonesia’s conventional and Islamic stock markets through the lens of behavioural finance in the digital age.
Design/Methodology/Approach — The analysis in this paper is focused on the short-run and long-run impact of variables associated with COVID-19—such as the number of COVID-19 cases and mortality, the Google Search Volume (GSV) for the search query associated with COVID-19, and the panic index related to COVID-19—on the returns of the LQ45 Conventional Index and Jakarta Islamic Index (JII), using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model.
Findings — In the short run, increasing mortality and GSV significantly decreases the returns on LQ45 and JII. By contrast, the returns of LQ45 and JII are unaffected by an increase in the number of cases or the panic index. In the long run, only the panic index affects the LQ45 returns.
Originality/Value — This article makes three contributions to the literature. First, it compares the COVID-19 outbreak’s impact on conventional and Islamic stock markets. Second, it discusses the short-run dynamics and long-run impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on stock returns. Third, it provides an explanation of the empirical relationship between the COVID-19 outbreak and the stock market using a behavioural finance viewpoint.
Practical Implications — Digital behavioural science-based policies are needed to prevent or lessen financial market crashes during future crises.

Abstract (sommario):
What is usually referred to as "culture wars" increasingly determines online and offline ambient, especially after the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, followed by waves of internet-enhanced moral panic. In this paper, we aim to understand the intensification of moral panic not simply as a phenomenon that depends on the inflammatory online fears, the way digital natives or baby boomers use the Internet, or the rise of so-called "populism", but as a dynamic arising from the neoliberal politics itself. Instead of taking for granted that current flammable ambience is the result of a "crisis of neoliberal consensus", this article, through example of the United States, shows that culture wars are not only "cultural", but are a vehicle for neoliberal goals, in this case, the privatization of elementary education.

Abstract (sommario):
In this commentary, we first analyze Elson and Ferguson’s (2013) attempt to offer a theory that would explain why exposure to family, community, school, and media violence could be related to increased aggression, but not cause such aggression. We conclude that the “new” theory they offer is not very “new.” It differs from dominant social learning theories only in its claim that the relation between exposure to violence and aggression is almost entirely due to people who are genetically or biologically predisposed to be aggressive also exposing themselves to more violence. We show this assertion is strongly contradicted by existing experimental and longitudinal data. We also show that Elson and Ferguson’s so-called “exhaustive review” of empirical data on the topic is seriously flawed; that their claim that effect sizes are trivial is not supported by the math; and that their claim that scholars who believe that violent video games cause aggression are an “extreme” group in a divided field is contradicted by surveys that show the vast majority of researchers believe violent video games increase aggression. We point out that their claim that scholars who believe in media violence effects are having a “moral panic” has no theoretical or empirical support, whereas the contrasting argument that researchers who produce violent media themselves, or use it extensively, are biased by the force of cognitive consistency and experience a “reactance” of “regulatory panic” does have support from psychological theory.

Abstract (sommario):
Fireworks in games translate the sensory power of a real-world aesthetic form to the realm of digital simulation and gameplay. Understanding the role of fireworks in games can best be pursued through through a threefold aesthetic perspective that focuses on the senses, on art, and on the aesthetic experience that gives pleasure through the player’s participation in the simulation, gameplay and narrative potentials of fireworks. In games ranging from Wii Sports and Fantavision, to Okami and Assassin’s Creed II, digital fireworks are employed as a light effect, and are also the site for gameplay pleasures that include design and performance, timing and rhythm, and power and awe. Fireworks also gain narrative significance in game forms through association with specific sequences and characters. Ultimately, understanding the role of fireworks in games provokes us to reverse the scrutiny, and to consider games as fireworks, through which we experience ludic festivity and voluptuous panic.

Abstract (sommario):
The term “cancel culture” has significant implications for defining discourses of digital and social media activism. In this essay, I briefly interrogate the evolution of digital accountability praxis as performed by Black Twitter, a meta-network of culturally linked communities online. I trace the practice of the social media callout from its roots in Black vernacular tradition to its misappropriation in the digital age by social elites, arguing that the application of useful anger by minoritized people and groups has been effectively harnessed in social media spaces as a strategy for networked framing of extant social problems. This strategy is challenged, however, by the dominant culture’s ability to narrativize the process of being “canceled” as a moral panic with the potential to upset the concept of a limited public sphere.

McGinnis, Ellen, Aisling O'Leary, Reed Gurchiek, William E. Copeland e Ryan McGinnis. "A Digital Therapeutic Intervention Delivering Biofeedback for Panic Attacks (PanicMechanic): Feasibility and Usability Study". JMIR Formative Research 6, n. 2 (3 febbraio 2022): e32982. http://dx.doi.org/10.2196/32982.
Abstract (sommario):
Background Panic attacks (PAs) are an impairing mental health problem that affects >11% of adults every year. PAs are episodic, and it is difficult to predict when or where they may occur; thus, they are challenging to study and treat. Objective The aim of this study is to present PanicMechanic, a novel mobile health app that captures heart rate–based data and delivers biofeedback during PAs. Methods In our first analysis, we leveraged this tool to capture profiles of real-world PAs in the largest sample to date (148 attacks from 50 users). In our second analysis, we present the results from a pilot study to assess the usefulness of PanicMechanic as a PA intervention (N=18). Results The results demonstrate that heart rate fluctuates by about 15 beats per minute during a PA and takes approximately 30 seconds to return to baseline from peak, cycling approximately 4 times during each attack despite the consistently decreasing anxiety ratings. Thoughts about health were the most common trigger and potential lifestyle contributors include slightly worse stress, sleep, and eating habits and slightly less exercise and drug or alcohol consumption than typical. Conclusions The pilot study revealed that PanicMechanic is largely feasible to use but would be made more so with modifications to the app and the integration of consumer wearables. Similarly, participants found PanicMechanic useful, with 94% (15/16) indicating that they would recommend PanicMechanic to others who have PAs. These results highlight the need for future development and a controlled trial to establish the effectiveness of this digital therapeutic for preventing PAs.

Mainardi, Arianna. "‘The pictures I really dislike are those where the girls are naked!’ Postfeminist norms of female sexual embodiment in contemporary Italian digital culture". Modern Italy 23, n. 2 (25 marzo 2018): 187–200. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/mit.2018.6.
Abstract (sommario):
This article engages with the postfeminist debate on girls’ sexuality in contemporary Italy. The huge popularity among adolescents of social network sites (SNSs), which involve a vast mobilisation of personal images, has given rise to new concerns and a moralising gender panic about girls’ sexuality. Drawing on critical girls’ studies, and based on the outputs of a qualitative research project, the article discusses the gender discourses that emerge from Italian girls’ digital practices on SNSs, with specific reference to girls’ online self-representation through posting and sharing photos on Facebook and other SNSs. The article explores how sexual regulation works among girls in the digital context by analysing the postfeminist norms of female sexual embodiment in contemporary Italian digital culture. In doing so, the article hopes to contribute to the transnational academic debate in media and cultural studies by showing the discursive and visual conditions of possibility which shape girls’ digital sexual subjectivity on social network sites.

Abstract (sommario):
The article is devoted to the actively discussed question of the uniqueness of Net generation. The digital natives have been credited with the ability to multitask and high-speed information processing, greater efficiency in online work. According to many researchers, the high technological skills of digital generation require an educational approach radically different from that of previous generations. According to S. Benett and K. Maton, these appeals for revolutionary changes in educational policy and practice turn into “moral panic.” The analysis of contemporary empirical researches show that the digital skills and competencies attributed to the new generation are significantly overvalued, they need to be shaped and developed. The question regarding the ability of digital generation to adopt and adapt digital technologies remains controversial. The main characteristics of digital generation are distractibility, low attentional control and memorization ability, the problem with cognitive control, and, as a result, reduced educational achievements. The modified reward system and reduced self-control may lead to the Internet addiction formation. This article presents scientific evidence showing that designing education that assumes the presence of these abilities hinders rather than helps learning. However, this does not mean that we have to abandon the idea of technological modernization in education, this only means that new technologies should be used at the right time in the right place.

"SOCIALIZATION OF DIGITAL LITERACY EDUCATION TO ANTICIPATE HOAX NEWS". Darmabakti Cendekia: Journal of Community Service and Engagements 3, n. 1 (28 giugno 2021): 33. http://dx.doi.org/10.20473/dc.v3.i1.2021.33-37.
Abstract (sommario):
Background: In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic situation, hoax news emerged which often caused people to panic and make wrong decisions. The emergence of this hoax is because many people are not literate with information, so they trust all the information that is circulating. People also do not have social awareness to filter the information they get. Objective: This article aims to present the results of the socialization of digital literacy education to anticipate hoax news.

Abstract (sommario):
This research through a digital socialization strategy aims to determine the extent of optimism of health workers in dealing with social isolation with depression during the Covid-19 pandemic. This type of research is qualitatively descriptive by collecting data using interview media and digging into data with several questions. The study was conducted on 10 subjects of medical personnel (in addition to doctors and nurses), doctors and nurses in several Bandung city hospitals online. Researchers selected 10 health workers because they aimed to find out socialization strategies for health workers during the Covid-19 pandemic among health workers. Despite the difficulties, optimists remain convinced that adversity is good for self-development, and behind that there must be an opportunity to achieve hope. The results showed that 4 out of 10 medical personnel experiencing depression problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic had "spread" fear, anxiety and panic quickly during social isolation. While 6 medical personnel are optimistic so that optimism for them is very important and provides positive energy to them during social isolation when working to deal with Covid-19 patients

Abstract (sommario):
Current debate is dominated by fears of the threats of digital technology for democracy. One typical example is the perceived threats of malicious actors promoting disinformation through digital channels to sow confusion and exacerbate political divisions. The prominence of the threat of digital disinformation in the public imagination, however, is not supported by empirical findings which instead indicate that disinformation is a limited problem with limited reach among the public. Its prominence in public discourse is instead best understood as a “moral panic.” In this article, we argue that we should shift attention from these evocative but empirically marginal phenomena of deviance connected with digital media toward the structural transformations that give rise to these fears, namely those that have impacted information flows and attention allocation in the public arena. This account centers on structural transformations of the public arena and associated new challenges, especially in relation to gatekeepers, old and new. How the public arena serves actually existing democracy will not be addressed by focusing on disinformation, but rather by addressing structural transformations and the new challenges that arise from these.

Abstract (sommario):
Playing digital games is increasingly pathologized as an addiction or a disorder, but there is limited research into the impact of game addiction discourse on children who play digital games. In this article, we present results from a study into the digital play of twenty-four 9–14-year-olds, attending to our participants’ perspectives and attitudes towards ‘game addiction’ and how it interacts with their play and identity. Focused primarily on the online multiplayer first-person shooter game Fortnite, we examine how children encounter and attempt to negotiate game addiction discourse and demonstrate how the discourse in and of itself produces challenges for young people whose interests and passions revolve around games. This article subsequently discusses how the discursive frameworks that are perpetuated in the media around ‘problematic play’ need to incorporate and be inclusive of the child’s right to play, and the relevance of our findings to the study of media panic and children’s critical media literacies.

Abstract (sommario):
Unmanned aerial vehicle remote sensing (UAVRS) technique was applied to emergency monitor Cocktail Mountain landslip geological hazard in Wulong county of Chongqing. The paper analyzes methods of accessing and processing digital image data in mountainous area and its application to emergency response management of geological hazard. The conclusion shows that UAVRS can access quickly high-precision remote sensing digital map and supply newly and explicit data for emergency decision. Combing with GIS spatial analyst modeling, UAVRS can assess high-speed hazard and provide base of allocating relief supplies. UAVRS integrating GIS can bring up potential and secondary disaster points for guaranteeing safety of personnel and property. UAVRS can also provide hazard information timely and exactly for pacifying the public to avoid panic. So UAVRS technique can provide technical support for emergency response management of geological hazard.

Abstract (sommario):
During a ship evacuation, many people panic as they do not know the direction that leads to the emergency muster station. Moreover, sometimes passengers get crowded in corridors or stairs, so they cannot save their lives. This paper proposes an IoT-enabled architecture for digital signage systems that directs passengers to the muster stations of a cruise ship by following the less dangerous route. Thus, crews’ and passengers’ safety risks during a ship evacuation can be low, and human health hazards may be limited. The system is based on a low-cost and open-source architecture that can also be used in a variety of fields in industrial IoT applications. The proposed modular digital signage architecture utilizes Light Emitting Diode (LED) strips that are remotely managed through a private Long-Term Evolution (LTE)/Fourth Generation (4G) cellular network. Publish–subscribe communication protocols were used for the control of the digital strips and particularly through a Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) broker who publishes/subscribes every message to specific topics of the realized IoT platform, while the overall digital signage system centralization was implemented with an appropriate dashboard supported from an open-source RESTful API.

Abstract (sommario):
The rapidly developing digital economy seriously affects the tax systems of different countries. At the end of XX century there was an optimistic approach to the taxation of digital economy. It was considered that there is no need for the new taxes, new tax regimes and the traditional concepts of international taxation were expected to sustain the new challenges. It was also considered that even with implementation of new technologies tax rules should keep on being clear and simple with high level of certainty, so that taxpayers could anticipate the tax consequences in advance. The digital economy was supported and exempt from taxation. Nowadays the possibility of imposing the new special taxes on digital economy is considered and some countries already introduced those taxes. The pessimism in respect of digital economy is now prevailing in the tax systems. However, the tightening trend in the tax regimes may entail the discrimination of the new technologies against those, which were developed before and already entered into the markets. The controversies between the technological center and periphery play certain role here. For the countries of technology periphery to join the tightening trend means to curb development of their domestic high-tech industry as discrimination in taxation of foreign countries is still considered inacceptable. It is obvious that the regulatory pendulum: from the most optimistic to the extreme pessimistic approach, until the desperate protectionist measures, should be balanced with the time. The panic in the publications about the prospective of the digital economy taxation shall subside and turn to the constructive suggestions without unnecessary fiscal focus.

The Influence of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Medication Use in Brasov, Romania". Sustainability 14, n. 13 (30 giugno 2022): 8017. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su14138017.
Abstract (sommario):
Sustainable consumption refers to the choice, purchase, use, and disposal of goods so as to enable all people to meet their present and future objective needs. However, panic caused by the gradual onset of the pandemic had a considerable impact on the behavior of consumption and purchase of medication, and the question remains whether sustainable consumption still matters during a crisis or not. The present study aims to analyze whether the pandemic has influenced the behavior of medication use among residents of Brasov County amid panic caused by the virus and to determine the primary sources of information on methods of the prevention and treatment of health conditions. The study focusses on the differences between the two target groups, young people, and adults, considering three socio-demographic factors, such as age, gender, and background. The present research uses two methods of data collection: an interview with 5 doctors and a questionnaire with 543 respondents. This research draws attention to the fact that the behaviors of purchasing and consuming medication during the COVID-19 pandemic has changed due to the spreading of the new virus and the state of emergency, as well as with medication use becoming less sustainable. The results showed that adults were more engaged in the panic buying of medication compared to young people during the pandemic; however, in normal times, young people use more medication. Our study shows that females tend to consume more medicines than males. Moreover, they are more susceptible for seeking media guidance and following advice from the digital realm, because they avoid going to the doctor, especially during the COVID-19 period. Depending on the environment of residence, it was found that people in rural areas generally tend to consume more medication than those in urban areas. However, during the pandemic, the drug use of this category of population has decreased because they do not tend to self-medicate and avoid visiting the doctor because of the fear of becoming contaminated. The results of the research could help to establish measures in order to prevent the panic buying of self-medication and pharmaceuticals, both during pandemics and in normal times, because such behaviors can have negative effects on both health and the environment.

Abstract (sommario):
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) arose in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Soon it spread to other countries worldwide to become a pandemic. Globally, governments enforced quarantine and social distancing measures to prevent the spread of the infection. Mass media and social media platforms played a crucial role in providing information regarding the Coronavirus. Since little is known about COVID-19, various fake news, misinformation and rumours spread across the digital media that panicked people into making panic decisions. The rapid spread of misinformation and stories via social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube became a vital concern of the government and public health authorities. Medical misinformation and unverifiable content about the COVID-19 pandemic are spreading on social media at an unprecedented pace. Mitigating the advent of rumours and misinformation during the COVID-19 epidemic is crucial, since misinformation and fake news creates panic, fear and anxiety among people, predisposing them to various mental health conditions. Instead of considering social media as a secondary medium, it should be utilised to convey important information. Besides, it allows citizens to address their queries directly. Several governments across the world have taken actions to contain the pandemic of misinformation, yet measures are required to prevent such communication complications.

Abstract (sommario):
The article presents the results of a large-scale applied study of “Constitutional Amendments” and “Coronavirus Pandemic” discourses as a part of the digital political agenda formed by the state media in 2020. The empirical dataset comprises an array of network data collected by the continuous sampling of news articles published by Interfax, RIA Novosti and TASS agencies on their official websites in 2020 within the March-September period.The obtained data was subjected to network analysis, visual analysis and linguo-discursive analysis. It allowed the authors to identify the dominant topics in the digital agenda created by the state media, determine the techniques used to form and manage the digital political agenda in the online space and assess their effectiveness. The article concludes by the description of the identified features, strategies and techniques used for shaping, maintaining and managing the digital political agenda by the state media regarding the analyzed discourses – "Constitutional Amendments" and "Coronavirus Pandemic". The authors infer that the strategy of pragmatic modeling was used for online agitation with the aim of ideological mobilization of citizens. Оnline-informing strategy was used to neutralize panic sentiment among citizens and form constructive civic behavioral patterns in the context of a pandemic and an internal lockdown.

Abstract (sommario):
This essay explores the abundance of art flourishing as a therapeutic antidote to the COVID-19 pandemic and panic arising across the world. Specifically, I discuss how the act of viewing, making, and sharing music, street art, paintings, graphic art, cinema, and digital videos can serve as a therapeutic vehicle for empowerment, solidarity, and collective action as most human beings strive to adopt practices of extreme social distancing as the recommended community mitigation strategy to help save lives before a vaccine is developed. This essay explores how therapeutic art-making can promote physical, mental, and social health at a time in history when all of these are under threat by COVID-19. I root these claims in theoretical literature from art therapy, as well as in inspiring and heart-warming examples of the beautiful coronavirus art that has already begun to fill our digital landscape with motivation, resiliency, and hope, though the crisis is still in its early stages.

Abstract (sommario):
ABSTRACT This paper examines the possibilities of critical pedagogy in our era of social media. With the emergence of social media over the past 10 years, these online spaces have facilitated what has been called “public pedagogy” - the varied educational and learning activities occurring in public domains beyond traditional educational institutions. These sites and practices of public pedagogy “are just as crucial, if not more so, to our understanding of the formation of identities and social structures as the teaching that goes on within formal classrooms” (BURDICK & SANDLIN, 2010, p. 349) inasmuch as these “informal and everyday spaces and discourses themselves [are seen] as innately and pervasively pedagogical” (p. 350). For quite some time now, with the increase in digital devices with constant Internet access, many have been engaging in ‘digital literacies’, with frequent texting, posting, and commenting through various media sources. Without subscribing to a ‘moral panic’ over a sometimes non-stop Internet use among some youth, the learning spaces in which a digital disconnection is warranted also needs to be examined. In both of these online and offline spaces, how can critical pedagogy facilitate language learning through students’ encounters with the language and discourses used to construct hegemonic and naturalized societal representations they face in the classroom and online?

Abstract (sommario):
Cybercrime is a crime committed using equipment connected to the internet. One of the cybercrimes that occured during the COVID-19 pandemic was the spread hoaxes about the COVID-19 vaccine which caused panic in society. Signal Messenger is one of the social media that has become a trending topic since the number of personal data security issues and the emergence of end-to-end encryption features. This research aims to find digital evidence on Signal Messenger application installed on the perpetrator's Android smartphone. This research uses Belkasoft, Magnet AXIOM, and MOBILedit Forensic Express tools and implements the Digital Forensics Research Workshop (DFRWS) framework in each stage of the research experiment. The research was carried out according to the case scenario with 11 predetermined parameters. Digital evidence is found from the Signal Messenger application: application information, account information, chat, pictures, videos, contacts, and stickers. The results of this research indicate that Belkasoft Evidence Center forensic tool is better, with an accuracy rate of 78.69%, while Magnet AXIOM is 26.23% and MOBILedit Forensic Express is 9.84%. The results of this research can be used as a reference for other forensic researchers/experts in handling similar crime cases on the Signal Messenger application to get better results.

Abstract (sommario):
AimsYoung people with their first episode of psychosis can feel lonely and isolated. Psychoeducation has been shown to increase patient insight, reduce the risk of relapse and forms part of the Quality Standards for Early Intervention in Psychosis Services. Our aim was to increase knowledge of psychosis in service users in an urban cohort by delivering psychoeducation in an interactive online format, due to the restrictions on socialising during the COVID-19 pandemic. We hoped this would serve to empower service users, allow them to connect with each other and offer hope through understanding.MethodsAppropriate service users aged 18–35 years were recruited from the caseload with the support of care coordinators, with 28 participating overall over a period of ten months. One-hour Zoom sessions of 2–4 participants were facilitated by a junior doctor. Each session consisted of a mix of teaching about basic neuroscience, including brain structure and the dopamine hypothesis theory, interspersed with factual quiz questions and opportunities for free-form answers in ‘thought clouds’. These explored feelings and experiences associated with psychosis. Data were also collected quantitatively in the form of anonymous self-rated pre- and post- session questionnaires on a 10-point Likert scale. These included self-reported questions about the understanding of the brain, psychosis, symptoms, medications and fear associated with the illness. Engagement was increased through the creation of flyers and reminder messages.ResultsThought clouds constructed during the sessions described feelings such as ‘panic’, ‘unease’, ‘dreamy’ and ‘broken reality’. On average over all sessions, there was an increase of 1.2 points in understanding of the brain, 2.6 points in understanding of ‘psychosis’, 2 points in understanding of how symptoms relate to the brain, 1.8 points in the belief that psychosis can be managed with therapy, 1.5 points in the belief that psychosis can be managed by medication, and unfortunately a 0.1 point increase in fear of the disease – perhaps associated with increased knowledge of the disease process. Encouragingly, 91% of final responses in the sessions were positive, demonstrating hopefulness.ConclusionWe have demonstrated that innovative digital psychoeducation sessions provide a highly effective way to deliver information to young people with psychosis whilst also allowing connection with peers. This model represents a great learning opportunity for trainees, and could be easily replicated in other geographical locations, or mental health conditions. We have also invited and encouraged co-production with service users.

Abstract (sommario):
Abstract In 2019, the UK government issued an ambitious White Paper as a precursor to the regulation of ‘online harms’. This article adopts a socio-cultural and legal approach to analysing the proposed law in the context of children. How childhood is conceptualized influences public policy and legal interventions, including on the digital space. This remains a contested terrain with different conclusion on the effects of the cyberspace. The biggest challenge with legal interventions on the digital realm is the need to achieve a balance between protection and participation rights of children. The dominant conception of childhood as a period of vulnerability has meant ‘protection’ often overrides participation rights. However, such focus is the subject of challenge, with some suggesting that regulation is the product of moral panic. A further strand is the potential of disproportionate punitive measures against Internet companies against the backdrop of human rights obligations. The UK proposition is discussed within this socio-cultural and legal contexts with the objective of highlighting challenges and legal pitfalls. This article argues that Internet governance ought to give serious consideration to the new sociology of childhood.

Abstract (sommario):
The present research investigates the social categorisation and construction of immigrants in Italy during the Covid-19 pandemic. For this purpose, hostile political narratives deployed on Twitter by three monitored Italian political forces (Matteo Salvini - La Lega party -Giorgia Meloni - Fratelli d’Italia - and the neofascist movement Casa Pound) and their visual representation of migration and migrants were analysed. Following a defined theoretical framework on the phenomena of othering, moral panic, processes of social exclusion and the role the “new” digital media play in such processes - especially in terms of negative and emotional political communication - the analysis deconstructs and identifies the founding elements of the political narratives on migrants, focusing on their visual component. The review of the sociological literature on the construction and representation of diversity and otherness introduces the empirical case study of the digital and visual communication monitoring performed from March 2020 to December 2021. Through the qualitative analysis of the visual content retrieved from the tweets collected, recurrent themes and communication strategies were investigated, determining the identification of four macro-categories upon which the construction and representation of immigrants and migration was carried out in the chosen context.

Abstract (sommario):
Journey from demonetization to digitalization is very hard hitting but not impossible. Recent demonetization in India on November 8, 2016, created lot of panic in the economy but also paved the way to digitalization. Cash crunch and availability of e-sources of transactions compelled many people to use electronic modes of payment. Credit cards, debit cards/RuPay card, USSD/UPI, Internet banking, mobile wallets like Oxigen, Paytm, Mobiwik, aadhar-enabled payment system, POS, and so on are few popular modes of electronic transaction, which are commonly used by the citizen. Digitalization will embrace higher transparency in monetary terms; low-cost maintenance; more convenience in use; and help in financial inclusion and weeding out black money and counterfeit money from the economy. But journey to a destination is always full of roadblocks, and similarly the journey of India toward a digital India is also full of hurdles like a huge illiteracy rate; low bandwidth; more unbanked areas; late adoption of technology; lack of full-time electricity; security concerns like hacking, cybercrime, and safety of personal details; and need for high investments. So, to defend the dream of a digital India, we have to develop well-defined strategies to coach people in using technology like focusing on customer education as well as employee education in technology by conducting workshops, presentations, enforcing strict cyber laws, use of local language, and developing user-friendly websites that leverage technology using the development of simple and smart digital tools, such as the use of a one-time password (OTP). The government has started Vittiya Sakharata Abhiyaan (VISAKA) and outreach campaigns like DigiDhan Abhiyan and so on to encourage people to adopt digital tools. Overall demonetization is greasing the wheels of digitalization and transforming India into Digital India.

Abstract (sommario):
Regarding the information of Coronavirus, the platform of social and mass media played a vital role. As there was little knowledge about COVID-19 at the beginning, numerous fake news, misinformation, and rumors were spread by the digital media across the globe, which made people lose their nerves and panic decisions. To weaken and stop the spreading of misinformation and fake news in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic are requisite because the misinformation and rumors about the pandemic create anxiety, distress, and disturbance among the public, and leads them to several psychological disorders. Instead of viewing social media as a tributary channel, it must be organized to deliver significant data and information. Moreover, it lets people report their questions directly. Several governments have taken drastic steps to hold the pandemic of misinformation, globally; however, several measures are mandatory to avert such communication barriers

Abstract (sommario):
Like other fangirls, fans of former boyband One Direction (“Directioners”) have often been represented in media discourse as obsessive and hysterical, with fan behaviour interpreted as longing for heterosexual intimacy with band members. Subverting this heteronormative framing, a group of Directioners known as “Larries” have built a sub-fandom around imagining a relationship (“ship”) between two of the band members, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson. Representation of the Larry fandom has gone beyond pathologizing fangirls to framing their shipping practice in terms of “fake news.” The conspiracy theory panic around Larries misses the complex ways that subtext and queer reading are mobilized within the fandom to invoke feelings of queer intimacy and belonging. Drawing on a digital ethnography conducted on Twitter with Larries, we argue that these fans engage in queer reading strategies to explicitly imagine and interrupt dominant heterosexual narratives, and thus queer the figure of the fangirl.

Abstract (sommario):
This investigation aims to analyse problems and growth opportunities caused by various changes in customer behaviour during COVID-19 for the New Zealand supermarket retail industry and the solutions provided to improve customer satisfaction and experience, especially in a panic buying situation. The background of changes in customer behaviour during the pandemic period was analysed and identified key challenges and opportunities faced by the industry. The information and data from this investigation was collected from already published resources. Different solutions and strategies to deal with these key problems were determined based on pricing and product portfolio strategy, the agility and resilience of the supply chain, remote expert service and security system technology, and the development of healthy and sustainable products. Recommendations are included in establishing long-term collaborative relationships with local suppliers, cultivating the digital adaptability of employees, making available organic food to customers, and developing good sustainable practices for the supermarket retail industry.

Abstract (sommario):
The Covid-19 pandemic has a huge impact in different aspects of people’s life and behavior. The pandemic causes both health and economic problems worldwide by reducing companies’ economic activity, increasing unemployment and reducing consumption. In countries affected by the pandemic, people are trying to adapt themselves to the prolonged indoor stays by changing the way of behavior as both citizens and consumers. Demand is depended on consumer’s behaviour, which undoubtedly underwent changes caused with Covid-19 pandemic. Consumers are responding to the crisis in different ways; some of them feel anxious, others are worried and buying in panic, mainly the necessary products and some of them remain indifferent or suspicious despite the government and health professionals’ recommendations. To date, due to the short period from the beginning of pandemic with Covid-19, a limited number of studies are available that focus on the consumer behaviour caused by a new virus. This paper attempts to notify changes of the consumer behaviour because of pandemic with Covid-19 in Republic of North Macedonia. This paper presents the findings from a survey which was conducted in April 2020, soon after the beginning of the pandemic with Covid-19. The findings lead to various aspects of changing consumer behaviour that businesses can use to step up their digital transformation efforts, foster e-commerce and promote an effective and widespread transition of many digital platform activities as a step forward in development of digital entrepreneurship.The findings could also contribute in predicting future consumer behavior, which is significant for many businesses affected by the pandemic. While at the first blush Covid-19 pandemics imposed negative impact from the changed consumer behavior, in the concluding remarks of this paper there are clear indications for some possibilities and new business opportunities in fostering digital entrepreneurship for the present and future.

Abstract (sommario):
Unlike previous pandemics, the COVID-19 pandemic is unique in that, for the first time, social isolation is not isolation but a migration imperative. World 4.0, the digital society, has endowed people with a capacity for interconnectedness through using social networks for entertainment. In particular, stickers and memes, as founding grammars of discourses, narratives, ways of feeling, and imaginaries, can demonstrate, from an informational sociobiological approach, the phenomenon of memes in the COVID-19 pandemic. This article highlights the meme as a shock of laughter for the mind and body, becoming the phenomenon that has prevailed and strengthened throughout the pandemic. It proposes some reflections on the role of memes as a shock of personal enjoyment and reflection unveiling the contemporary social context. We present four moments of the memes during the pandemic, in the first the memes reflect the new emerging condition with subjectivities such as mockery, reduction, and denial. The second moment shows the unfathomable encounter between the person and the pandemic, where the panic in the meme turns into humour. The third moment shows the terror beginning to unravel. Here, the meme operates as a shocking power of laughter in epicconscious activity. In the fourth moment, the memes reflect the establishment of a new normal. The meme is already a vehicle for unexpected situations as a consequence of the pandemic phenomenon.
