Individual Ethics

Abstract The borders between the media genres journalism and information or PR are blurring, and this development is especially noticeable among freelance journalists. How does this affect freelance journalists, particularly their ethical reasoning? Thirteen interviews with freelancers living in a peripheral northern county in Sweden were analyzed, using a combination of discourse analysis and narrative theory methods and a virtue ethics theoretical framework. It was found that 11 out of 13 informants worked occasionally or regularly with information-type assignments. To sustain the informants’ professional roles and selfidentities of integrity and impartiality, having boundary settings between, first, information/ PR and journalist roles and, second, information and journalist type assignments was crucial. It was evident that individual ethics had replaced professional principles. The freelancers reflexively process media industry constraints, together with their everyday working conditions, in a situation where the ideals and norms of the profession constitute the background for their individual action ethics.

Local sites and practices of information work become embroiled in the larger imperatives and logics of the global knowledge economy through social, technological, and spatial networks. Drawing on human geography’s central claim that space and time are dialectically produced through social practices, in this essay I use human/critical geography as a framework to situate the processes and practices—the space and time—of information literacy within the broader social, political, and economic environments of the global knowledge economy.  As skills training for the knowledge economy, information literacy lies at the intersection of the spatial and temporal spheres of higher education as the locus of human capital production. Information literacy emerges as a priority for academic librarians in the 1980s in the context of neoliberal reforms to higher education: a necessary skill in the burgeoning “information economy,” it legitimates the role of librarians as teachers. As a strategic priority, information literacy serves to demonstrate the library’s value within the university’s globalizing agenda. While there has been a renewed interest in space/time within the humanities and social sciences since the 1980s, LIS has not taken up this “spatial turn” with the same enthusiasm—or the same degree of criticality—as other social science disciplines. This article attempts to address that gap and offers new insights into the ways that the spatial and temporal registers of the global knowledge economy and the neoliberal university produce and regulate the practice of information literacy in the academic library.

This article discusses the dynamics of glaucoma prevalence in the Kyrgyz Republic. At present glaucoma is one of the pressing problems of modern health care, as it occupies one of the leading places among the causes of irreversible loss of vision. According to WHO glaucoma accounts for up to 5% of all eye pathology. By 2020, the number of patients will increase to 5.9 million and 5.3 million will lose sight due to primary glaucoma. The proportion of primary glaucoma among the causes of primary disability has been stable at a fairly high level from 20 to 28% over the years. The problem of glaucoma control requires improvement of the system of organization of early detection and dispensary observation of patients, which will contribute to control of the level of morbidity and quality of medical care. The article used data from the Republican Medical and Information Center of the Ministry of Health of the Kyrgyz Republic from 2014 to 2018. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis, the authors identified trends in the incidence of diseases of the eye and its appendages, glaucoma among adults, adolescents and children of the Kyrgyz Republic. The incidence of diseases of the eye and its appendages, glaucoma among adults, teenagers and children in dynamics from 2014 to 2018 has been studied. The share of glaucoma in the total number of diseases of the eye and its appendages among adults, teenagers and children is considered. Analysis of the dynamics of disease prevalence of the eye, its appendages, glaucoma, both among adults and teenagers, and among children under 14 years of age showed an increase in the indicator in 2015, 2017 and 2018. The proportion of glaucoma from the total morbidity of the eye and its appendages among adults and adolescents in the years under study averaged 6.4%, among children under 14 — 0.2%. It is necessary to strengthen measures for early detection, dispensarization of glaucoma patients, as well as to carry out information work among the population.
