The symbiotic relationship between Islam and media is inevitable. The frequent of media coverage about Islam has been researched by many especially since the remarkable incident of September 11 in 2001. From that moment, Islam has been viewed and labelled as negative by the Western media specifically to the Muslims living in America and those in the Middle East countries. This phenomenon has been contagious to the Muslims in Southeast Asian countries such as Malaysia and Indonesia as these two countries are believed to have a connection with recent terrorist groups such as Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). Therefore, this study was conducted to see the frequent coverage specifically on terrorism issues as reported by the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) and to explore the news themes that emerged in the news reporting. To realize this study, the researchers applied both quantitative and qualitative analysis to analyse the online news articles found in WSJ from year 2012 until 2013. The qualitative software was used in this study namely QSR Nvivo 11 to help and assist the researchers to store, manage and codify the news and also the quantitative software which is SPSS to calculate the frequencies of the reporting. The findings revealed that WSJ reported news related to terrorism in Malaysia and Indonesia frequently but it seems that Indonesia received higher percentage compared to Malaysia. In terms of news themes, the results found four major themes that are very much related to terrorism issues such as terrorist attacks, suspected as terrorist and robbery from both issues happened in Malaysia and Indonesia.

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.

The Impact

The article is an attempt to predict the main trends of the political, cultural and ideological development of the Middle East in the  medium and long term, taking into account the impact of  international terrorism. To provide optimal solutions possible the  author identifies a number of core components. Basing this selection  he offers his vision of the likely behaviour of key state and non-state  actors as well as the forthcoming fate of the objects of their attention. In preparing the scenarios, the main methods of  predictive analytics were used: statistical analysis, intellectual  analysis of data, analysis of patterns and models conducted within  the framework of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research project  “The Phenomenon of the Islamic State” in the context of the development of a modern Eastern society. “The article is based  on an interpretation of the main conclusions and results of using those methods and methodologies. The article asserts that the recent growth of radical Islam in the East and political populism  in the West are close root causes. Despite all the differences in the  rhetoric and the outward forms, they represent a defensive response  on the part of those segments of Eastern and  Western societies that have failed to adjust to rigid paradigms of  globalization. Intra- and inter-confessional conflicts may become the  prevailing form of military threats in the region, beginning around  the 2020s. Their heralds are already visible in conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and, to a lesser extent, in Lebanon, Bahrain and on the east  coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Interstate Shiite-Sunni contradictions have so far been limited by political-ideological  confrontation and diplomatic demarches, sometimes accompanied by various embargoes, such as the recent Qatar crisis. Even the physical destruction of the selfproclaimed Islamic pseudo-state in MENA will take some time. Under favorable circumstances, ISIS units may be squeezed out of the important settlements of Syria and Iraq  within a year. This will not mean the end of ISIS. The experience of  the war with terrorist groups in Libya, Algeria, West Africa, Somalia,  Afghanistan, and Southeast Asia shows that even when driven out  into the desert or sparsely populated areas, fragmented but linked  groups of terrorists continue for quite some time to inflict harassing attacks on government forces and objects, to make long  sorties and to arrange spectacular acts of terrorism. Most likely, the  forces interested in maintaining the problems of international terrorism high on the agenda will not sit idly by but will  undertake spectacular and noteworthy actions to keep terrorism  issues in the limelight. As a result, the intensity of terrorist attacks in  the West may increase, since even limited terrorist attacks in  Europe cause more media coverage in the world media than any acts of terrorism in the Middle East. To achieve these goals, new channels and forms of imple mentation of terrorist attacks will  be used, such as terrorist acts involving children, ordinary means of  transport, during the course of mass and symbolic political events, elections, etc.

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.

The monograph of one of the twenty five most influential women in Europe (according to The Wall Street Journal) contains the analysis of causative factors of leadership and sources of social perception of the leader’s charisma. The author, using her own professional experience and multi-disciplinary scientific knowledge, provides two model and theoretical conceptions: the first one refers to general leadership, the second one to charismatic leadership. The hypotheses are confronted by selected cases of leadership seen as charismatic: of John Paul II, Lech Wałęsa, Margaret Thatcher and Steve Jobs.

A relationship between PWS and supine sleeping is theoretically plausible. Additional studies are necessary, however, to confirm that the incidence of appropriately defined PWS has increased, and that the magnitude and timing of this increase are consistent with the magnitude and timing of increasing supine prevalence. The recommended strategy to prevent any risk for PWS is to rotate the head position during supine sleeping and to use the prone position for supervised awake time. With the combined efforts of primary care physicians and parents, therefore, orthotic devices such as soft helmets or rigid head bands (The Wall Street Journal, Midwest edition. February 23, 1996) should rarely, if ever, be necessary, and surgery for PWS should never be necessary.
