The professional practices of Argentine journalists reveal the multiplicity of factors that impact journalistic culture. The results of the national study for the global project Worlds of Journalism offers evidence that the type of media organization in which journalists work does not generate different working conditions or respond to alternative professional models. The results reinforce the approach that the professional culture is the result of the interaction between personal values and the guidelines of organizations and companies. In this sense, the study of the professional culture of journalism needs to be approached from a multidimensional perspective that includes the study of legal frameworks, trade union protection, organizational guidelines and accepted ethical parameters.As práticas profissionais dos jornalistas argentinos mostram a diversidade de fatores que impactam na cultura jornalística. Os dados nacionais da pesquisa como parte do projeto global Worlds of Journalism apresentam evidências de que meios distintos não oferecem condições de trabalho diferentes nem modelos profissionais alternativos para os seus jornalistas. Os resultados revelam ainda que a cultura profissional depende da interação entre valores pessoais e das pautas de organizações e empresas. Nesse sentido, o artigo se propõe a abordar o estudo de cultura jornalística com base em uma perspectiva multidimensional que analise os marcos legais, a proteção sindical, as pautas organizacionais e os códigos de ética profissional.Las prácticas profesionales de los periodistas argentinos dan cuenta de la multiplicidad de factores que impactan en la cultura periodística.

This paper discusses research strategies and summarizes pertinent knowledge that has influenced Scandinavian legislation and trade union policies in the field of stress at the workplace. Work stress is shown to be problematic in two ways. First, there may be a direct relation between certain objective working conditions, physiological and psychological stress, and ill health. Second, certain stress conditions may create fatigue and/or passivity and thus make it more difficult for individuals to actively involve themselves in changing those working conditions—including physical and chemical risk factors—that may be detrimental to health. This latter aspect is especially relevant for prevention on the systems level, where one has to rely on collective means for changes in technology and the organization of work.

This paper is my endeavour to shorten the gap between the realities in my own teaching practices and those practices presented in books and research reports as effective English teaching. In this paper, through narrative inquiry method of writing, I will refer to my experiences to show my way of knowing as well as my way of writing the specific contexts of my teaching of English. Here and then, I may show my subjectivity upon certain issues in the English teaching-learning process but I do this to enable myself go deeper to my personal values. Nonetheless, for the betterment of my classroom practices specifically and the teaching of English for Islamic studies in Indonesia, in general, my inquiry on my own professional practices and the insights on how I should see and make some changes in my teaching as specified by the AAA perspective discussed in details will become a very good start.

Strike is a temporary action for a mass refusal of employees to work in order to ensure that their demands are met. It is called “Strike” in English (which means to break, to burn, to attack) because the first strike events occurred in England as which involved breaking the machines using brake blocks. Workers used to show their reactions towards their employer as by breaking the machines. The same phenomenon existed also in France. Workers in France used to leave their working places all together and go to the Greve area next to River Seine and seek solution to their problems in the cafes. This is how the concept of going on strike, Aller à la Grève (in French), was adopted by Turkish. Strike is a right for workers. It is to leave a workplace unanimously. It is not considered a reason for annulment of employment contract. It is legal and aims to ameliorate the working conditions. Workers should possess the same conditions as their employer in order to determine working conditions by their own free will. Although the employer seems to possess a stronger position as he/she owns the workplace, the workers may possess the same rights as their employers by becoming members of a trade union. When the workers and the employer are unable to reach an agreement on the working conditions, all the workers leave their workplace and go on strike. They partially or completely hamper the activities of the employer. During the strike the workers do not receive their salaries.

The Russian healthcare system provides a set of free and paid diagnostic and therapeutic services. Although, when prescribing additional paid services, a specific doctor is provided with the situation of choice. The doctor is faced with a set of ethical and professional motivators, one of which is paid services as a source of additional medical income. What do doctors do in this situation, what strategies do they choose and what motivates their decision? Conducted and analyzed in-depth interviews (18 interviews, Tver, 2018) with doctors of different specialties revealed several patterns of doctor’s behavior when prescribing paid services. The data analyzed in the tactics of grounded theory allowed the author to build several models of doctor’s behavior, where such choices are associated with certain system of professional and personal values. The described models are conventionally named by author: “Making money”, “Polypragmasia”, “Collegiality”, “Man-System”, “One and a half rates”, “Out of the system”, “Avoidance”.The constructed models of behavior of doctors show that the appointment of additional optional procedures is associated not only with the doctor's desire to earn money, but also can be explained by a more complex combination of reasons, working conditions, formal and informal social norms, as well as the basic values of the doctors themselves.

In the Philippines, the assault on the press has gone digital. While Filipino journalists continue to face physical, verbal, and legal threats and attacks, cyber-attacks and online harassment/trolling were identified in 2018 as the second worst threat against them, after low wages and poor working conditions, according to the International Federation of Journalists and the Southeast Asia Journalist Unions. Websites of news outlets have also been hacked and taken down. These challenges make the press vulnerable to self-censorship and may even lead to fatal outcomes. This chapter seeks to fill the gap in the literature on the digital types of assault on the Philippine alternative press, focusing on the experience of alternative news media outlets—independent media particularly critical of the government. It explores the range of such threats and attacks and the responses, legal frameworks, and remedies in place that are used to combat dangers of this nature.

The current state of the debate about political strikes in Australia is examined, looking particularly at three questions which merit urgent academic attention. In each instance it is suggested that the valid position may be some what different from that which many government and press spokesmen currently assume to be self-evident. It is also argued that the designation "political strike" is best reserved for reference to industrial action which has as its subject matter, an issue of broader significance than the narrow "traditional" sphere of trade union concerns ( wages and working conditions). The phrase has frequently been used in the past in connection with the hidden political motives of the strikers. Secondly, it is advanced that the economic consequences of political strikes may be far less than is commonly supposed, though any conclusive data on this question is difficult to obtain. Finally, the question of the legitimacy of political industrial action in a liberal democracy is considered. Three approaches to legitimacy in liberal democracy are noted—that of Rawlsian distributive justice, that of legitimacy residing in the will of the majority, and that of pluralism. It is suggested that in each instance a case for the legitimacy of political strikes can be made.
