Comunicación interactiva y poder cuidadano en la ciber-democracia

El presente trabajo de investigación estudia el complejo vínculo entre la Comunicación Interactiva, resultante de la coordinación conductual en el espacio virtual de las redes digitales, y el Poder Ciudadano, emanado de la manifestación cívica en el espacio real de la praxis política, examinando la naturaleza, configuración y sentido de sus procesos constituyentes, dominios y lógicas intervinientes, conductas y patrones subyacentes, relaciones e interacciones, pautas y condiciones, factores y disposiciones, resultados y emergencias. La utilización creciente de nuevas formas y canales de comunicación, derivada del acoplamiento funcional y coherente de medios, recursos y dispositivos característicos de la comunicación tradicional con los emergentes de la comunicación avanzada, facilitan el intercambio on line de información, contenidos y aplicaciones sin mayores restricciones de tiempo, lugar o distancia. Esta comunicación dinámica, continua y sinérgica, cuyo efecto difusivo “de muchos a muchos” se englobó acríticamente bajo el término Media 3.0 (Gillmor, 2010), responde a patrones, configuraciones y disposiciones específicas del nuevo paradigma tecno-digital asociado íntimamente a la lógica de redes, al comportamiento auto-organizativo y a la evolución adaptativa que impactan directa e indirectamente en los modos habituales de manifestación, interacción y participación política. La tensión producida por la interacción recíproca de los procesos de homogeneización derivados de la globalización con los procesos de diferenciación surgidos de la localización en los diversos ámbitos culturales, sociales, políticos y económicos están moldeando una sociedad compleja, heteróclita, híbrida, segmentada, diversa y plural que no se ajusta automática ni linealmente a los cánones establecidos de la comunicación tradicional...

Cross-national epidemiology of DSM-IV major depressive episode

Background: Major depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, yet epidemiologic data are not available for many countries, particularly low- to middle-income countries. In this paper, we present data on the prevalence, impairment and demographic correlates of depression from 18 high and low-to middle-income countries in the World Mental Health Survey Initiative. Methods: Major depressive episodes (MDE) as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fourth edition (DMS-IV) were evaluated in face-to-face interviews using the World Health Organization Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI). Data from 18 countries were analyzed in this report (n = 89,037). All countries surveyed representative, population-based samples of adults. Results: The average lifetime and 12-month prevalence estimates of DSM-IV MDE were 14.6% and 5.5% in the ten high-income and 11.1% and 5.9% in the eight low- to middle-income countries. The average age of onset ascertained retrospectively was 25.7 in the high-income and 24.0 in low- to middle-income countries. Functional impairment was associated with recency of MDE. The female: male ratio was about 2: 1. In high-income countries, younger age was associated with higher 12-month prevalence; by contrast, in several low-to middle-income countries, older age was associated with greater likelihood of MDE. The strongest demographic correlate in high-income countries was being separated from a partner, and in low- to middle-income countries, was being divorced or widowed. Conclusions: MDE is a significant public-health concern across all regions of the world and is strongly linked to social conditions. Future research is needed to investigate the combination of demographic risk factors that are most strongly associated with MDE in the specific countries included in the WMH.

Cross-National Analysis of the Associations between Traumatic Events and Suicidal Behavior: Findings from the WHO World Mental Health Surveys

Background: Community and clinical data have suggested there is an association between trauma exposure and suicidal behavior (i.e., suicide ideation, plans and attempts). However, few studies have assessed which traumas are uniquely predictive of: the first onset of suicidal behavior, the progression from suicide ideation to plans and attempts, or the persistence of each form of suicidal behavior over time. Moreover, few data are available on such associations in developing countries. The current study addresses each of these issues. Methodology/Principal Findings: Data on trauma exposure and subsequent first onset of suicidal behavior were collected via structured interviews conducted in the households of 102,245 (age 18+) respondents from 21 countries participating in the WHO World Mental Health Surveys. Bivariate and multivariate survival models tested the relationship between the type and number of traumatic events and subsequent suicidal behavior. A range of traumatic events are associated with suicidal behavior, with sexual and interpersonal violence consistently showing the strongest effects. There is a dose-response relationship between the number of traumatic events and suicide ideation/attempt; however, there is decay in the strength of the association with more events. Although a range of traumatic events are associated with the onset of suicide ideation, fewer events predict which people with suicide ideation progress to suicide plan and attempt, or the persistence of suicidal behavior over time. Associations generally are consistent across high-, middle-, and low-income countries. Conclusions/Significance: This study provides more detailed information than previously available on the relationship between traumatic events and suicidal behavior and indicates that this association is fairly consistent across developed and developing countries. These data reinforce the importance of psychological trauma as a major public health problem, and highlight the significance of screening for the presence and accumulation of traumatic exposures as a risk factor for suicide ideation and attempt.
