The media can play an important role in suicide prevention and mental health care, especially in a country like Colombia, affected by an internal armed conflict, and with worrying cases of suicide that increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is known that mental health conditions were accentuated during the first year of this pandemic, with the deaths of family and friends, mandatory isolation, and the economic crisis, among others. This study examines the relationship between media reception and suicidal ideation in Colombia during this period. Methodologically, this predictive, cross-sectional, and non-experimental correlational study presents the results of a survey of Colombians aged 18 to 59 (N=660) from the three most populated regions of the country, conducted from January 1 to November 30, 2020. It was found that both frequent reception of news about deaths coronavirus, as well as the intentional search for or access to information in the media about suicide cases, acted as risk predictors of suicidal ideation. Conversely, the reception of programs that promoted or strengthened spiritual life was a protective factor against suicidal ideation. Age and physical and mental health did not influence the relationship between suicidal ideation and the reception of information about these human losses. In conclusion, the way in which a pandemic and suicide cases are journalistically covered influences suicidal ideation. Exposure to audiovisual entertainment programs could help lower the levels of suicidal ideation in contexts of a health crisis, as long as they emphasize the support networks and the reasons for living that are present in the programs that promote spiritual life.

The aim of this article was to review the relationship between narrative and information inside the Commission for the Clarification of Truth, Coexistence and Non-Repetition (CEV, from its Spanish acronym). In addition, this article examines the implications of the use of narrative to build truth, specifically the truth that the CEV is seeking, and elucidate the approach of truth in which it is situated. For these purposes, we analyze the method used by the CEV to collect testimonies and upload those to the Mission Information System (SIM, from its Spanish acronym). In this paper, we identify the SIM's scope and limits, and discuss the Commission's statements about the characteristics of its final report in light of the use of information and the narrative strategy to build truth. We concluded that the relationship between the categories of narrative and information reflects the epistemological problems inherent to the social sciences regarding the tension between objectivity and subjectivity. Furthermore, the validity of the CEV's elaborations will depend on the rigor of contrasting different versions and sources, rather than the amount of information it collects. Likewise, we highlight the relevance of the role that SIM played in opening up to new technical and methodological tools for uncovering the truth and monitoring human rights in Colombia, and the rest of the world. Nonetheless, there needs to be consideration for the complexities and dilemmas that information sciences deal with when analyzing social reality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Regulation is one of the various forms of state intervention in the economy, the main objective of which is to correct market failures in order to meet the demands derived from general interests. In public passenger transport, this form of state intervention in the economy has been applied. So, this article aims to establish how the activity of economic regulation develops in automotive public passenger transport in Colombia. For this, the scientific and constitutional doctrine on economic regulation and the way in which this activity has been developed is reviewed. Finding that regulation turns out to be halfway both due to the nature and conformation of the bodies that have been providing it, as well as the uncertainty caused by not being clear about the scope of the body created to carry out regulation in this sector.

Youth political participation is a notorious aspect in social networks that, however, does not translate into an increase in voter turnout since electoral abstention levels in Colombia remain high. There are several aspects that deserve consideration for future research on the subject, ranging from rational decision and socio-psychological approaches, to the features of the information being transmitted and the behavioral differences between users with strong and weak ties, and finally more deliberative practices being used such as Memes and self-image building. This article is an attempt to compile some of these issues, which could be addressed from an individual or collective perspective, as these virtual spaces are constitutive political scenarios of new social contexts that cannot be ignored, either by candidates or citizens. Analyzing the aspects that could intervene in both mobilization and party identification constitutes a resource in order to observe the new emergent links between democracy, citizenship, and information systems.

The fundamental rights are those inherent to a person given his/her human condition, and they are established in the political constitution of Colombia and in international treaties. This article approaches the concept and the scope of the rights to a good name, the honor and the privacy, and their relation with the fundamental rights to free speech and information, from the vision provided by the constitutional court in its jurisprudence. It can be seen that the court has been careful to establish rules and limits for the information broadcasted by individuals or by mass media, in order to prevent free speech and information from violating the rights to a good name, the honor and the privacy of third parties.

The implementation of a model of human capital management in a research group in Colombia is presented, with the intention of addressing some existing shortcomings associated with the group's composition and structure. The model is based on five phases of development related to knowledge management. Disadvantages resulting from erroneous allocation of roles, poor distribution of tasks, lack of fundamental skills and shortage of relevant value practices, among others, are described. Solutions that counteract these conflicts, which hinder the group's development and diminish its chances of successful performance, are proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Characterizing and evaluating information systems on the health sector in Colombia. Methodology: A conceptual frame that included the legal context of the country and organization of information systems in other countries was developed. Later on, Colombian health information system was characterized starting on interviews with important actors and papers. Finally, the organization of the system, information flows and its strengths and weaknesses were analyzed in order to propose some recommendations. Results and conclusions: information system of the Colombian health sector is divided and evidencing quality issues, as in other countries. The development of a production, diffusion and use of information culture is essential. We must take advantage of the change that is occurring in the health system for improving the information. Capture mechanisms for information require a simplification and standardization. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article puts forth the perspective of an ethics for the web or web-ethics, which the author has identified while doing research in Colombia. The research work has dealt with education, management, design, communication, and use and retrieval of information in the web from 1998 to 2007, particularly the theoretical revision and critical analyses of a specific corpus of research work. These analyses have in turn lead to new questions and challenges related to the balance which must be found between the protection of essential rights such as freedom, or the cultural identity to which any citizen, social organization, or community is entitled, and the moral norms that an emerging ethics in the web is beginning to discern from everyday life and philosophical reflection.
