ABSTRACT
Objective To understand the current status and influencing factors of public cognition, attitude, and behavior (KAP) for COVID-19, and to help the development of strategies for COVID-19 prevention and treatment. Methods Snowballing-based online questionnaire was used to conduct an anonymous survey. Results A total of 1 576 questionnaires were received, and 1 553 were effective (recovery rate 98.5%).The awareness rate for epidemiological knowledge was 87.3%, 93.1% for etiology knowledge and 85.9% for prevention and treatment knowledge.The average score for attitude towards COVID-19 fear was 15.47±3.15, agreement with relevant government regulations and policies was 11.28±1.58, and for preventive behavior was 24.47±2.61.Men′s knowledge scores in epidemiology and etiology were higher than women′s (P < 0.05).Women′s attitude towards epidemic fear and government identification were scored higher than men′s (P < 0.05).The public health prevention knowledge score was higher in subjects with urban household registration than in those with rural household registration (P < 0.05).Regression analysis showed that gender, age, occupation, level of attention on pandemic, epidemiological knowledge, and etiology knowledge were the influencing factors for the fear attitude to the epidemic (P < 0.05);the attention level and prevention knowledge were the influencing factors for prevention behavior (P < 0.05). Conclusion The public awareness rate of COVID-19 and attitude towards government identification are relatively high.The degree of pandemic fear and preventive behavior are above average.More targeted public education on COVID-19 is highly recommended.
ABSTRACT
This article aims to demonstrate the existence of demophobic principles in the theory of modern democracy. Liberal theoretical propositions decreed the subsumption of the demos in the government of all, reduction of the presence of the masses in politics, the exteriority of their modes of organization, and rationalization of administration of "the many". The study focuses on liberal thinkers from the late 18th to the early 20th centuries, but is not limited to them. The result is the enunciation of a political oxymoron (demophobic democracy), which also appears as an epistemological obstacle to democratic experimentation.
Dans cet article, on cherche à montrer l'existence de principes de démophobie dans la théorie de la démocratie moderne. On observe que des propositions théoriques libérales ont tranché sur le fait de subsumer le demos dans le gouvernement de tous, la restriction de la présence des masses dans le politique, l'extériorité des modes d'organisation et la rationalisation de la gestion du "grand nombre". On souligne que cette étude ne concerne que des penseurs libéraux influents de la fin du XVIIIe au début du XXe siècle, mais sans s'attarder sur eux. Le résultat est l'énoncé d'un oxymoron politique (la démocratie démophobique), qui apparaít aussi comme un obstacle épistémologique à l'expérimentation démocratique.
ABSTRACT
La próxima celebración, en Río de Janeiro, de los JJ.OO., donde anualmente se celebran los más conocidos carnavales, permite reflexionar sobre la ingeniería ritual en la comunicación de masas con la que están construidos estos espectáculos, realizada por los gobiernos para afirmar la identidad nacional, de cara a los propios ciudadanos y de cara, también, al mundo entero, sin olvidar la propaganda implícita de su "ethos burocrático". Los JJ.OO., tienen una estructura ritual, un sentido de fiesta y hasta son una religión civil, siendo la sinergia de estos tres componentes una poderosa fuerza de conducción y nacionalización de las masas.
The next celebration, in Rio de Janeiro, of JJ.OO., where every year are celebrate the most knows carnivals, make possible think about the ritual engineering in the communication of the masses, with that are building this spectacles. This ritual engineering is doing for the governments to confirm the national identity, for the own citizens and for, too all over the world, without forget the inside advertising of his "bureaucratic ethos". The JJ.OO., have a ritual structure, a sense of holiday and even a civil religion, being a synergy of this three components one powerful force of control and nationalization of the masses.
