The Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law will hold its annual conference to bring top Australian and global thinkers together to explore aspects of refugee decision-making from the micro to the macro level – from individual cases through to wider public policy. It will ask how we can ensure that refugee decision-making is fair, transparent and protection-sensitive, with outcomes that are consistent with international law. The programme can be found here, and all questions can be addressed here.

Calls for papers

The Fourth International Sociological Association (FISA) is seeking abstracts for a 2020 forum session titled: The Meaning of Flight in Biographies

The FISA is to hold a conference entitled, “The Meaning of Flight in Biographies”, 15-21 July 2020, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, and is seeking papers for its session on the meaning of flight. The situations which forced refugees to flee may be violence, economic insecurity, climate change, sexual abuse or harassment, ethnic persecution or many others. A particular interest is in an individual's capacity to redefine and transform. What strategies do people use in talking about their experiences and constructing their biographies? What kind of approaches do we have for understanding experiences and biographies of refugees, such as face-to-face interviews, film, images? If you are interested, please see here to submit an abstract by 30 September 2019. Further information can be found here.

North American Society for Exile Studies seeks papers for biennial conference

On 18-20 September 2020 the North American Society for Exile Studies will hold their Biennial Conference at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

For more information and how to submit, by 30 September 2019, please see here.

Forced Migration Review seeks submissions for 2020 publication

Forced Migration Review (FMR) has put out a call for papers for inclusion in its February 2020 issue on Cities and Towns, to be submitted by 4 November 2019. Cities and towns can be welcoming spaces of sanctuary, solidarity, integration and opportunity, but many who are displaced from their homes by conflict, persecution and other drivers encounter a very different kind of space. FMR’s February 2020 issue will provide a forum for practitioners, advocates, policymakers and researchers to share experience and good practices, debate perspectives and offer recommendations around these challenges and developments. Those wishing to contribute, please email the Editors ahead of sending in an article.

University of Ghana and the IASFM calling for contributions

The International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) and the University of Ghana, Accra, have put out a call for contributions to a conference to be held 27-30 July 2020 that will look at how the current migration research landscape is heavily skewed towards the Global North, where governments and international organisations increasingly fund research to inform policy development. The title of the conference represents an attempt to engage forced migration scholars and others in transforming this landscape. Submissions can be made here no later than 4 November 2019.

The World's Best Public Health Social Media Campaigns

Social media has gone from strength to strength in terms of user numbers. Current statistics show that 2271 million people use Facebook, 326 million Twitter, 1000 million Instagram and 287 million use Snapchat. As a result, public health campaigns increasingly compete for people’s attention and seek to influence their behaviour through these social media channels. But this requires continually adapting to trends.

Indeed, Edison Research and Triton Digital’s report, The Infinite Dial 2018, an annual research series on how we use social media, podcasts, and online audio services, argued that the year 2018 might have been “the year that social media changed forever.” Detailing unexpected trends in social media usage, it adds: “In a complex and conflicted world, the relative escapism offered by thumbing through photos on Instagram, or creating the ultimate wish list on Pinterest, may be a welcome respite from the snark of Twitter or the sales pitches on LinkedIn.”

While not limited to, recent trends that have impacted public health social media campaigns include:

Short video and live streaming, with all the main channels competing for your eyeballs and scrolling time by pushing video and live content, prioritising it over many other types of posts.

Facebook advertising has grabbed the headlines with its Orwellian micro-targeting ability!

Instagram and Snapchat have certainly become the social media of choice for young people.

The dominance of mobile with people seemingly addicted to scrolling and where photos and video are the ‘opioid of choice’.

Social messaging has also become one of the stars of the show, leading some people to say social messaging has taken over social media

Taking in the shifts in the ever-changing social media landscape, here are some of the best public health campaigns across the globe.

BEST PUBLIC HEALTH SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGNS

Organ Donation Wales

Organ Donation Wales now have an excellent track record in encouraging people to talk more about the importance of organ donation. They also made the brave decision to hijack people’s coffee orders in a very clever way of highlighting the problem caused by families overriding the wishes of their loved ones.

Matt Damon Surprises People with ‘The Wait for Water’

In this example, Matt Damon does a great job bringing people’s attention to the fact that women in the developing world have to wait up to six hours collecting water each day. Matt Damon and his foundation Water.org joined Stella Artois for “The Wait for Water,” showing what happens when unsuspecting restaurant customers are told water won’t be available for up to six hours.

#Loveyourcervix

Public Health Wales

✔@PublicHealthW

Today we launch the #loveyourcervix campaign. Women that attend for cervical screening when they are first invited aged 25 are more likely to attend in the future, significantly reducing their risk of developing cervical cancer. #loveyourcervix

226

12:30 PM - Mar 12, 2019

245 people are talking about this

Twitter Ads info and privacy

Another one from Public Health Wales who ran a #loveyourcervix campaign. They wanted to counter the embarrassment young women may have over the appearance of their vulva which is one of the main reasons young women give for not having cervical screening. The #loveyourcervix campaign aimed to promote body positivity and remind women “that smear takers have seen hundreds of vulvas!” Women that attend for cervical screening when they are first invited aged 25 are more likely to attend in the future, significantly reducing their risk of developing cervical cancer.

Man Therapy

This campaign from Colorado, in the USA, is aimed at men aged 24-54 who account for the most suicides. To encourage men to seek mental health help, the Colorado Office of Suicide Prevention and the Carson J Spencer Foundation wanted to counter the myth that strong men don’t need to reach out for help. The campaign features a fictional character named Rich Mahogany, who provides “manly mental health tips” in humorous videos.

Sehat Ka Batua (The Health Purse)

Did you know that to protect their money women in rural India put their purse or “Batua” inside their blouses? Well, in this great example from India, Mahindra Rise partnered with Cancer Patients Aid Association to use this habit as a reminder to protect them from breast cancer. The last time we checked their Youtube video had been watched almost 750,000 times. This campaign was also shortlisted at Cannes Lion for Change 2018

#FCKHIV

MTV | #FCKHIV from Creative Awards on Vimeo.

On #WorldAidsDay MTV ran this campaign to encourage young people to get tested for HIV – they wanted to make this topic relevant again. Their clever campaign encouraged people to change the finger they usually get tested on and share it. They had 1.2 million impressions in 5 hours and became the number one trending topic in nine minutes! Even better Tested was the most used word on the day.

#HereForYou – Instagram

Find Your Support Community on Instagram from Instagram on Vimeo.

Mental health has become a popular topic for social media campaigns, as more and more people want to get involved in tackling the stigma associated with talking about mental health. In this popular example a one-minute campaign video featured three Instagram users talking about their past struggles with eating disorders, depression and suicidal thoughts. The campaign used its flagship hashtag #HereForYou for the campaign – one that was already commonly used by Instagram users.

UOKM8

LADbible Group – UOKM8? Case Study from LADbible Group on Vimeo.

Sticking with mental health, this three month campaign from TheLADBible Group called UOKM8 was aimed at raising awareness of mental health issues among men. It was inspired by the fact that suicide is the biggest killer of British men under 45. By partnering up with other a range of charities the campaign reached over 38 million young people and drove 823k engagements.

NICE turns to Snapchat

In 2017 the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence allegedly became the first major public health body to adopt Snapchat, in a bid to connect with young people. NICE’s communications team shared several ‘snap facts’ throughout the day – using pictures and emojis – to explain how easily infections are spread and how quickly drug resistance develops. Others have followed, like Public Health England’s campaign which used Snapchat Filters and Promoted Stories to encourage young people to use condoms and Leeds NHS mental health campaign which also used Snapchat filters. We expect to see more and more examples of health campaigns using Snapchat to reach its younger audience.

World Water Day

According to the United Nations, billions of people are still living without safe water – their households, schools, workplaces, farms and factories struggling to survive and thrive. In this example, World Water Day 2019 used a whole range of social media channels to encourage people to promote the fact that access to safe water is a human right. It underpins public health and is critical to sustainable development and a stable and prosperous world. The campaign organisers provided a range of social media resourcesto help people get involved and challenge the status quo in global society, where so many people are living without safe water. This included sharable materials like videos, animations and collection of cards and guides.

LESSONS FROM CORPORATE AND SOCIAL CHANGE SECTORS

In 2015, four authors from the Sydney School of Public Health and Cancer Council NSW published a detailed study on the lessons the public health sector could draw from nine public health social media campaigns by the corporate and the social change sector.

As the authors note, while there is a great deal of enthusiasm and interest in using social media for public health communications, “few research studies have examined its success in promoting and adopting protective health behaviours”. Their study aimed to address this gap by taking a close look at the social media campaigns of three corporates – IKEA, Cadbury, and Smirnoff – and six social change organisations – Burnett Institute, World Lung Foundation, the New Zealand health Sponsorship Council, Smokefree South West UK, the Queensland Association of Health Communities, and the New York Alliance for Donation.

While not all of the health-related campaigns remain online, outlined below are some of the campaigns that incorporated findings into the planning and delivery of effective public health social media campaigns.

Burnett Institute FaceSpace

The Burnett Institute’s sexual health campaign, FaceSpace, features on the project’s YouTube channel, Being Brendo. It is part of a series of short films about a variety of health issues that confront gay men. (Please note, there is a language warning on this. It may not be suitable for office viewing.)

The Burnett Institute established the FaceSpace project to examine whether social networking sites could be used successfully to deliver health promotion messages:

During 2009 and 2010, we implemented a novel health promotion intervention using social networking sites – “The FaceSpace Project”. This pilot intervention trialled the delivery of sexual health promotion via social networking sites to two key at-risk groups: young people aged 16-29 years, and men who have sex with men (MSM).

The project concept was to use fictional characters to interact and post content (primarily videos) on various social networking sites, with sexual health promotion messages embedded within some of these postings. The young people’s arm was developed and implemented first, with learning’s from this arm applied to the development of the MSM arm.

FaceSpace is a great example of using humor, narrative and character as part of a successful social media for public health campaign.

World Lung Foundation PackHead

The World Lung Foundation released an application on Facebook that allowed users to add rotten teeth, throat tumors, bleeding brains and other smoking-related illnesses to their profile pictures or pictures of friends. Users placed the altered images on a generic pack of cigarettes and shared them. The application, named PackHead, was intended to raise awareness and support for graphic package warnings, which are more effective at communicating the harms of smoking than standard text.

Smoke-Free Alexandria

The Egyptian Ministry of Health, in coordination with World Lung Foundation, launched a two-stage “Smoke-Free Alexandria” media campaign, stretching a small campaign budget by using innovative tactics to attract additional media interest and attention.

In order to avoid expensive Ramadan-priced mainstream media, they launched perhaps Egypt’s first Facebook ad campaign for public health. The campaign, starting at the beginning of smoke-free legislation enforcement and messaged to publicise the high level of public support for the law, saw wide coverage in newspapers and online media.

The advertisements achieved an astonishing 11.5 million impressions and more than 5,000 “friends” in under ten days—all for a cost of only USD$3,500.

Chew On This

The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare’s (MOHFW) Tobacco Control Programme launched a nationwide television, radio and YouTube campaign called “Surgeon.” The campaign featured cancer patients at Tata Memorial Cancer Hospital’s neck and throat cancer ward and highlighted the devastating consequences of smokeless tobacco to warn against its use. The campaign was produced in association with World Lung Foundation (WLF) and the Bloomberg Initiative to reduce Tobacco use.

The campaign video shows cancer surgeon Dr. Prashant Pawar as he conducts his rounds in one of the busiest head, neck and throat cancer wards in the world. The viewer sees the horrifying effects of mouth cancers caused by chewing tobacco as the surgeon consults with his patients – some as young as 18-years-old.

New Zealand Health Sponsorship Council Online Anti-Smoking Games

The New Zealand Health Sponsorship Council created a series of online games targeted at younger children to discourage the uptake of smoking. The games were distributed for free via a number of online gaming sites. These included:

KissOff

Butthead Bash

Along similar lines is Interactive Biopsy. Another great interactive feature, this from OxyGen in Australia, that lets you play doctor with a tobacco victim. Use a scalpel, syringe or tweezers to take body samples and see why this tobacco user may have died. This is definitely for older kids and inappropriate for elementary school-aged children.

oxygen.org.au/games/InteractiveBiopsy

These types of games fall into a category of educational games called “serious games”.

Smokefree South West UK Be Smoke-Free

Smokefree South West was commissioned by eleven public health teams based in local authorities across the south-west of England. The project aimed to deliver an evidence-based programme to create a smoke-free future for children by making tobacco use less desirable and accessible as well as accelerating a reduction in the smoking rate across the region.

Smokefree South West runs a wide range of campaigns to encourage individuals to quit smoking but also influence public policy by encouraging local authorities to adopt smoke-free homes, hospitals, and public area policies.

Smokefree South West makes great use of all social media channels including Facebook and Twitter.

Hai ngày qua, giới chơi xe xôn xao trước thông tin xuất hiện ô tô đa dụng 7 chỗ ngồi có giá rẻ không thể tưởng, chỉ 240 triệu đồng. Cuộc đổ bộ xe siêu rẻ 2019 ở Việt Nam bắt đầu.

Lâu nay, những mẫu xe giá rẻ trên dưới 250 triệu đồng thường được dân chơi xe liên tưởng ngay đến những mẫu xe Ấn Độ.

Gần đây nhất là mẫu ô tô SUV cỡ nhỏ XUV300 được hãng ô tô nội địa Ấn Độ Mahindra công bố, dự kiến ra mắt tháng 2 năm nay, mức giá chỉ có 260 triệu đồng với mẫu mã kiểu dáng đẹp long lanh.

Hay như phiên bản sản xuất của mẫu SUV mini Future S của hãng Suzuki được ra mắt khách hàng Ấn Độ vào đầu năm 2019 này với giá khởi điểm từ 500.000 Rupi (khoảng gần 160 triệu đồng).

Xe Suzuki tại Ấn Độ giá tương đương 160 triệu đồng gây sốt

Một câu hỏi được nhiều người mua ô tô đặt ra là, khi nào Việt Nam có xe giá trên dưới 250 triệu đồng như vậy?

Đó chính là lý do khiến cho thông tin về một mẫu MPV đang rục rịch vào Việt Nam với giá nhà nhập khẩu dự kiến chỉ vỏn vẹn 240 triệu đồng. Mức giá này còn chưa bằng một chiếc Kia Morning vốn được coi là rẻ nhất Việt Nam và chỉ bằng 1/3 mức giá các dòng xe cùng phân khúc MPV.

Theo thông tin từ trang Autopro, đó là mẫu xe gia đình BAIC H2E mới nhập về được chào giá 240 triệu đồng, Đây là mẫu MPV với 7 chỗ ngồi.

Chiếc xe này sẽ được bán 240 triệu tại Việt Nam

Ô tô đa dụng 240 triệu gây sốc thị trường Việt

Kích thước mẫu xe này còn nhỉnh hơn Mitsubishi Xpander. Động cơ của có dung tích 1,5 lít, công suất 111 mã lực và mô-men xoắn 150 Nm. Mẫu này sử dụng đèn chiếu sáng halogen nhưng tích hợp đèn định vị LED, có đèn sương mù và đèn hậu halogen. Gương chiếu hậu tích hợp xi-nhan LED.

Mặc dù có giá chưa đến 250 triệu đồng, BAIC H2E vẫn có ghế bọc da và màn hình cảm ứng phục vụ giải trí. Vô-lăng có tích hợp nút bấm chỉnh media. Tất cả ghế chỉnh tay. Điều hòa cũng điều khiển tay.

Trong khi đó, theo trang VietQ, phiên bản nhập khẩu về Việt Nam của mẫu trên chỉ sử dụng số sàn, không có bản số tự động. Xe có thể đạt tốc độ tối đa 150 km/h.

Với tính năng công nghệ trên, theo trang Viet Q, mẫu xe giá siêu rẻ này có cùng phân khúc với các dòng xe Hàn Nhật như Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V và Hyundai Tucson khiến mẫu xe này trở thành dòng xe bán rất chạy tại Việt Nam.

Trong đó, mẫu Mazda CX-5 bản 2019 đã có giá tới 751 triệu đồng, Honda CR-V giá thấp nhất đã là hơn 900 triệu đồng, Hyundai Tucson giá trên 800 triệu đồng. So với các mức giá trên thì chiếc xe MPV Trung Quốc kia rẻ không tưởng.

Ghi nhận của PV VietNamnet cho thấy, năm 2018 đã chứng kiến cuộc đổ bộ sôi động của xe Trung Quốc giá rẻ. Hãng Zotye tung bản Z8, sau đó là Z3 vào Việt Nam. Còn hãng BAIC xuất vào Việt Nam mẫu Q7. Tuy nhiên, giá của những mẫu xe này vẫn là trên dưới nửa tỷ đồng, vẫn là mức chưa rẻ so với túi tiền của đa số người dân Việt.

Ví dụ như mẫu Zotye Z8 có giá hơn 728 triệu, tương đương Ford Ecosport. Mẫu Zotye Z3 hơn 500 triệu, tương đương chiếc xe Misubishi Mirage. Xe BAIC Q7 5 chỗ cũng có giá 658 triệu thấp hơn 70 triệu so với Zotye Z8. Điểm chung của những mẫu xe này là đều nhái dáng dấp những mẫu xe sang đắt tiền như Q7 nhái Ranger Rover.

Nếu như Zotye Z8 pha trộn giữa Maserati, Porsche và Land Rover, BAIC Q7 là bản sao của Range Rover Sport thì BAIC BJ40L mượn thiết kế của Jeep và Mercedes-Benz.

Mẫu xe Zotye Z8 nhái kiểu dáng xe sang

Dù vậy, xe Trung Quốc ở Việt Nam tuy gây choáng về mức giá sốc nhưng số đông người Việt vẫn định kiến về thương hiệu xe Trung Quốc và không ít hoài nghi, giá quá rẻ thì chất lượng và các trang bị liệu có đảm bảo được như những lời quảng cáo.

Có 12 mẫu xe giá rẻ 400 triệu đồng: Dân vẫn liều chơi xe Trung Quốc

Lượng xe con bán ra tăng mạnh, lượng xe dưới 400 triệu đồng đã nhiều hơn và đáng chú ý một bộ phận người Việt đã liều chơi xế hộp Trung Quốc.
