“…The results reported below were obtained by means of the logistic model [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] extended (see Equation (16)) to allow treatment of infection propagation in a network consisting of groups in interaction. To fix the ideas and to make the paper self-contained, in Section 3.1 we will first review the main aspects related to the logistic model applied to an isolated group using a terminology adapted to the specific subject under consideration.…”

“…Rephrasing, the effective growth rate decreases with increasing population density: →̃= f (n) < . By assuming a linear decrease of f with n, one arrives at the logistic model [21][22][23][24][25][26]…”

“…Therefore, to better emphasize this idea, instead of a SIR-based approach (which would pose no special problem), in this paper we prefer to adopt the simpler logistic growth framework. The logistic model is particularly appealing in view of its simplicity and versatility demonstrated in approaching a broad variety of real systems with very different nature, [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] including population dynamics of epidemic states. [29][30][31][32] Prior to this study, results based on the logistic model were presented for COVID-19 time evolution in China and the United States.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic in a population modelled as a network wherein infection can propagate both via intra-and inter-group interactions is simulated. The results emphasize the importance of diminishing the inter-group infections in the effort of substantial flattening/delaying of the epi(demiologic) curve with concomitant mitigation of disastrous economy and social consequences. To exemplify, splitting a population into m (say, 5 or 10) noninteracting groups while keeping intra-group interaction unchanged yields a stretched epidemiological curve having the maximum number of daily infections reduced and postponed in time by the same factor m (5 or 10). More generally, the study suggests a practical approach to fight against SARS-CoV-2 virus spread based on population splitting into groups and minimizing intermingling between them. This strategy can be pursued by large-scale infrastructure reorganization of activity at different levels in big logistic units (e.g., large productive networks, factories, enterprises, warehouses, schools, (seasonal) harvest work). Importantly, unlike total lockdown, the proposed approach prevents economic ruin and keeps social life at a more bearable level than distancing everyone from anyone. The declaration for the first time in Europe that COVID-19 epidemic ended in the two-million population Slovenia may be taken as support for the strategy proposed here.

This paper argues that the tripartite model of society — economy, state, civil society — offers possibilities for the comparative analysis of news media in democratic countries. Ideally, the press is embedded in civil society's `public sphere' with its participatory and deliberative norms. However the media is also dependent upon the instrumental functions of the economy and the polity. The shifting public posture of the daily press of Detroit in 1865-1920 illustrates two alternative forms of the press under this typology. Journalism of the late 1800s was subordinated to formal political society and thoroughly partisan. In the early 1900s, the media rebelled against this alignment. Declaring itself independent, the press dispensed with its open, emphatic advocacy and migrated to the realm of civil society. However, under the influence of technocratic and professional ideologies, it did not incorporate civil society's broader political dialogues. Instead, it presented an ostensibly apolitical, factual account of the day's most important events and the words of only the most legitimate speakers from the formal polity.
