On 26 April 2013, the Wall Street Journal published an essay by neurocriminologist Adrian Raine promoting his newest book, The Anatomy of Violence: The Biological Roots of Crime. On the newspaper’s website, an image of a black-and-white brain scan overlaid with handcuffs headed the essay. Clicking ‘play’ turned the image into a video filled with three-dimensional brain illustrations and Raine’s claims that some brains are simply more biologically prone to violence than others. Rejecting what he describes as ‘the dominant model for understanding criminal behaviour in the twentieth century’ – a model based ‘almost exclusively on social and sociological’ explanations – Raine wrote that ‘the genetic basis of criminal behaviour is now well established’ through molecular and behavioural genetics.

Henry B. Wonham, “Realism and the Stock Market: The Rise of Silas Lapham” (pp. 473–495) William Dean Howells’s The Rise of Silas Lapham (1885) is usually approached as a representative text in the American realist mode and an unambiguous expression of Howells’s disdain for—in Walter Benn Michaels’s words—“the excesses of capitalism,” especially as embodied in the novel’s rendering of “the greedy and heartless stock market.” Like many commentators of the period, Howells promoted a traditional view of honest industry against the emerging phenomenon of speculative finance, and yet to read the novel as an allegory of opposition to Wall Street speculation is to oversimplify Howells’s complicated attitudes toward high finance and to make a caricature out of the novel’s treatment of complex economic developments. In this essay, I reassess Silas’s investment career and the novel’s surprisingly dense engagement with the dynamics of securities trading as a form of commerce. Critics such as Michaels and Neil Browne have contended that through Silas’s failed investment career, Howells “attempts to disarticulate…an emergent market ethos,” but as I read the novel this same “market ethos” is inseparable from Howells’s conception of realism and of the vocation of the literary realist.

The article deals with the analysis of the balance of opinion in the newspaper, which is originally realized through editorial and op-ed genres. We analyzed 20 articles from “The Wall Street Journal” and “The New York Times” in the genres of editorial and op-ed about events in Afghanistan in August 2021, which were interpreted differently in mass media due to the role of the White House. The findings prove that in the context of new digital reality the op-ed has lost its original function of conveying alternative positions to the ones stated in the editorial; at the same time newspapers tend to advocate the positions shared by the political parties they have historically developed close relations with: “The Wall Street Journal” - with the Republican Party, “The New York Times” - the Democratic Party.

Se plantea cuatro objetivos, los dos primeros relacionados al análisis de la información periodística que ofrecen los artículos publicados en la página del "The Wall Street Journal Americas" del diario El Comercio de Lima, Perú y de dos artículos también publicados por el mismo diario, como única fuente disponible de investigación, ya que no se cuenta con bibliografía del tema, ni separatas que hayan comentado alguna parte del problema de irregularidades contables. Se fija el marco conceptual y el marco metodológico del estudio, que incluye el método histórico y el método hermenéutico, para conocer las acciones pasadas y buscar su explicación, respectivamente. En el análisis del problema, se presenta un esquema histórico específico: con fechas, títulos de los artículos publicados y un resumen de cada uno de ellos -La información obtenida es verdaderamente muy interesante y se van descubriendo una serie de situaciones de irregularidades contables, de posiciones empresariales diversas y de acciones frente a la justicia-. Con este análisis, se precisan las causas que originaron las irregularidades contables y se canalizan por áreas para una mejor toma de conciencia y aplicación de futuras acciones concretas de cambios en el ámbito contable americano. Estos canales agrupan las causas profesionales, económicas, sociales y éticas. Es importante también, mostrar la definición del marco conceptual como una aplicación de la Teoría General de la Contabilidad, para llegar al marco conceptual del IASB (lnternational Accounting Standards Board) y a su análisis secuencial, que precisa las diferentes etapas de objetivos, hipótesis, requisitos, conceptos y criterios que sustentan la estructura de los estados financieros y la razonabilidad en la información que se entrega a los usuarios. Se exponen alternativas para reforzar el mayor conocimiento de los principios de contabilidad y la necesidad de eliminar el nombre de contabilidad creativa y sustituirlo por el nombre de contabilidad engañosa, que fija con exactitud su espíritu de engaño, de defraudación, de hacer trampas, etc. Las conclusiones de este artículo, plantean la necesidad de mejorar la imagen del Contador Público con un nuevo enfoque, llevándolo a practicar el juramento profesional al inicio de sus actividades en la profesión, siguiendo el ejemplo del Juramento Hipocrático de los médicos. Se enfatiza el mayor estudio de los principios de contabilidad, el mejor conocimiento de la normatividad contable vigente; así como de los principios de ética profesional.

Este artigo propõe uma análise da cobertura jornalística realizada na fanpage do The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) durante o período de prévias das eleições presidenciais estadunidenses. A pesquisa olha para a importância da mídia na construção da imagem pública dos principais pré-candidatos, Donald Trump (Partido Republicano) e Hillary Clinton (Partido Democrata), a fim de identificar a existência de viés favorável ou desfavorável. A metodologia utilizada consiste na análise quantitativa de conteúdo para avaliar as publicações realizadas entre os dias 01 de fevereiro a 14 de junho de 2016 que mencionaram nominalmente os dois pré-candidatos.  Sustenta-se a hipótese de que a confiabilidade conferida por todos os espectros ideológicos ao jornal não se apresenta com equidade no tratamento aos referidos candidatos. Os testes confirmam o favorecimento ao republicano. Palavras-chave: Comunicação Política. Crítica de Mídia. Imagem Pública. Eleições.
