Domenicale N.17/5.7.2020 (Chiusura Redazionale H.13.00)
1 Università IULM Osservatorio su comunicazione pubblica, public branding e trasformazione digitale Direttore scientifico: prof. Stefano Rolando ([email protected]) Comunicazione e situazione di crisi https://www.iulm.it/it/sites/osservatorio-comunicazione-in-tempo-di-crisi/comunicare-in-tempo-di-crisi Domenicale n.17/5.7.2020 (chiusura redazionale h.13.00) Rassegna settimanale di contributi civili, culturali, scientifici e divulgativi segnalati in rete sulla crisi epidemica Covid-19. Attorno al suo impatto sulla salute, l’economia, le dinamiche pubbliche, sociali e individuali, sul sistema della comunicazione e dell’informazione, in ordine alle problematiche di contrasto, all’applicazione delle misure di contenimento e ai nessi nazionali e internazionali dell’epidemia. Un’esperienza collettiva del Pianeta che in Italia, e in molti altri paesi, presenta caratteri sconosciuti ai più, rispetto a pregresse simili vicende. E di cui è protagonista un virus che la comunità scientifica considera ancora ampiamente sconosciuto. I materiali selezionati - ben inteso, sempre solo frammenti di una vasta galassia - corrispondono al pluralismo d’opinione e di giudizio che la rete presenta a tutti. L’Osservatorio si propone di tenere il più largo possibile, nel quadro della soglia di serietà di approccio, lo spettro rappresentato del dibattito che è in svolgimento su tanti temi connessi alla vicenda epidemica. Accogliendo dunque anche, in taluni casi, opinioni diversamente condivise. Dal 3 giugno il Domenicale raccoglie anche in forma più sintetica alcune notizie e commenti della stampa quotidiana italiana e internazionale articolandole nelle varie rubriche.

Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia
4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M.

October 19, 2020 The Honorable Michael R. Pompeo Secretary of State U.S. Department of State 2201 C Street, NW Washington, D.C. 20520 Re: Request to address deteriorating human rights situation during Oct. 27 visit with Sri Lanka’s President and Prime Minister Dear Secretary Pompeo: I am writing on behalf of Amnesty International and our 10 million members, supporters and activists worldwide. Founded in 1961, Amnesty International is a global human rights movement that was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1977 for contributing to “securing the ground for freedom, for justice, and thereby also for peace in the world.” Amnesty’s researchers and campaigners work out of the International Secretariat, which over the last decade, has established regional offices around the world, bringing our staff closer to the ground. The South Asia Regional Office was established in 2017 in Colombo, Sri Lanka to lead Amnesty's human rights work on Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Amnesty's South Asia Regional Office has carefully documented the deterioration of the human rights situation in Sri Lanka under the current government. Impunity persists for new and past human rights violations. We ask that during your upcoming visit to Sri Lanka, you call on President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to reverse some of their recent actions which undermine human rights and take steps to address impunity. Under the current government, the space for dissent and criticism is rapidly shrinking, as demonstrated by a series of cases, including the harassment of New York Times journalist Dharisha Bastians, the arbitrary detention of blogger Ramzy Razeek and lawyer Hejaaz Hizbullah, and the ongoing criminal investigation against writer Shakthika Sathkumara. -

Additionally, MRSA isolates are showing resistance to other chemotherapeutic agents. Isolated and valuable reports on prevalence of MRSA are available in India and there is no systematic review on prevalence of MRSA at one place, hence this study was planned. The overall prevalence of MRSA in human population of India was evaluated by state-wise, zone-wise and year-wise. -
