The relationship between literature and social networking sites (SNS) is a material context in which authors and readers merge into each other to create a literary communicative process that transforms contemporary politics. The aim of this paper is to analyse the communicative process by investigating the continuum between matter and discourse from a new materialist approach. From social sites, we can understand how elements, such as readers, authors, context, novels, culture and digital platforms, “intra-act” (Barad 2007) to create an affecting/ed communicative process. We propose feminist new materialism as a theoretical terrain that helps to reconfigure politics and communication in order to build a methodological framework for contemporary feminist politics and theory related to Literature. Using a digital genealogy and the theory of new materialism, we identify communication in literature as a trapping force in which different elements intra-act with each other and become indivisible. Affecting/ed communication is a dynamic conceptualization, a literary activity in which active agents participate in creative spaces for future social changes.

Far from being restricted to exchanges between experts, specialised knowledge is mediated to audiences with different levels of specialization, from scientific reviews to newspaper articles. This diversity constitutes an often-overlooked challenge for translators. As a matter of fact, while documentation and terminology are always crucial, translation decisions are based on communicative parameters as well as cognitive and linguistic criteria. Although it is self-evident that linguistic choices are determined by the proficiency level of the readership, few authors have attempted to specify what those choices are and how the correlation operates, most notably in popularization discourse, and none of them has considered potential differences between languages and cultural settings. The focus of the paper is a bilingual (French and Spanish) corpus study carried out on newspaper articles dealing with stem cell research and cloning published in four different geographic regions (France, Quebec, Spain, Argentina). An original methodology was implemented for data collection and analysis. The number and nature of expressions used to convey each concept were then analyzed. Discursive strategies widely assumed to be a hallmark of popularization, like definitions and explanations, were also taken into account. Indices of metaphorical conceptualization and the underlying modes of conceptualization were identified. This study provides concrete data to a debate that remains largely theoretical, and supports the conception of specialized communication as a continuum. The results go against well-established ideas about popularized texts, specially regarding the trademark status of “didactic features.” It seems imperative to acknowledge the heterogeneity of popularization and to consider the role of textual genre constraints in the way specialized knowledge is introduced. Furthermore, the data obtained seems to substantiate the recent questioning of the canonical view of popularization as a mere translation.

The paper discusses the differences between intracultural communication and intercultural communication from a socio-cognitive perspective that treats this relationship as a continuum rather than a dichotomy. Movement on the continuum, and differences between the two phenomena are affected by different factors that will be discussed in the paper. The hypothetical left end of the continuum is intracultural communication and the right end is intercultural communication. Neither exists in pure form. The question is to which end a given communicative situation is closer to and what characteristics it is dominated by. While moving on toward the right end communication becomes less dependent on standards, norms, frames, core common ground and formulaic language and is characterized more by emergent common ground, ad hoc generated rather than formulaic expressions, norm creating attempts and individual creativity in solving communication problems.

Silence in human communication has not only been marginalized as a means of communication, but has often been considered as void of serving any communicative role. It is presumptuously viewed as the mere opposite of communication occurring at the far end of the communicative continuum. Investigating the role of silence in human communication from a linguistic point of view, this paper, hence, attempts to show that such conventional view of silence as a non-communicative tool should be reconsidered. It argues that both silence and speech make an integral part of human communication as they coincide in any delivered message. The context in which they serve a communicative function plays a major role in their use, the choice of one over the other, as well as the interpretation of any delivered message. The study also argues that speech and silence do not always fall into the traditional schematic classification of vocal versus non-vocal. While silence can be vocal in some occasions in human communication, speech can be expressed non-vocally too.

Full textAbstract:
In his theory of interpretation, Peirce’s attention is drawn to the work of “mind,” especially its appropriation of signs. Mind interprets nature by using signs in every form of inquiry. Based on his three categories, Peirce defines interpretation as a determinate process of interpretations of interpretations. Communicative process thus means, instead of just being determined as an interpretant by an object, that the interpreter is determined by a “communicative effort.” In the communicative effort, for Peirce, temporal unit is the necessary condition of meaning. In other words, in order to mean something, the communicative effort has to be performed in a continuum from a past to a future. Concealed possibilities can be actualized when the continuum is “broken,” genuinely divided. Peirce truly acknowledges that the possibility can be actualized when it is broken into parts.

Abstract In this thematic volume we ask how digitalization and mediatization are transforming public communication and its conceptual understanding. This introductory text delves into the historical shift from oral and body media to written media in societal communication, highlighting the evolution through telecommunication mass media to the replacement of analog communication by digital forms. It addresses the lack of consensus on the definition of ‘publics’ and public communication, underscoring the multidimensional, heterogeneous, and fluid nature of these concepts. We ask how digitalization and mediatization processes raise questions about fundamental changes in publics due to new technological-communicative possibilities. Furthermore, we discuss the concept of publics as communicatively constructed and maintained, shaped by media and community ideologies. We propose a continuum model for digital/digitized publics, ranging from dyadic communication to multi-party communication. It emphasizes four key aspects for linguistic engagement with digital publics: communicative construction, technical and social affordances, multiplicity of addressing, and practices of digital community formation. With this model and the contributions following the introduction we contribute to a nuanced understanding of digital publics, considering their scale, complexity, and the dynamics of content creation and audience interaction.

Full textAbstract:
A constructivist grounded theory of family distancing emerged from the narrative accounts of 52 adult children in the process of estrangement from their parents. The grounded theory conceptualizes estrangement as a continuum comprised of eight components: (1) communication quality, (2) communication quantity, (3) physical distance, (4) presence/absence of emotion, (5) positive/negative affect, (6) reconciliation/desire to be a family, (7) role reciprocity, and (8) legal action. In addition, 10 communicative behaviors are identified that can help family members move along the estrangement continuum toward greater distance or maintain their position. Together they interplay to constitute a holistic picture of the estrangement process. Scholarly uses, theoretical implications, and practical applications will be discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the current trends in the field of linguistic categorization of emotions. The emotional spectrum is much wider than the experiences that possess stable verbal explications. Fuzzy emotions include mixed, blended, complex, and other emotional experiences. They are primary, but they have never been subjected to independent linguistic research. This article focuses on the cultural particularities of emotions that reflect the ability of language consciousness to actualize the boundless emotional and semantic potential of the word to express the inner world. The research relied on the National Corpus of the Russian language to describe the process of creating emotional endoconcepts, i.e., emotional experiences that go beyond the traditional classification of emotive words. The authors believe that the controversial nature of the basic emotional paradigm is argued by the class of emotive words formed from basic emotions, e.g., sad emotions. Their dominant remains fuzzy, and only the evaluative meaning is clear. The approach that the linguistics of emotions adopts to categorize emotive words has a number of advantages because it takes into account the poly-ambivalence, discursivity, and flexibility of emotions that depend on the communicative situation.

Hong, Jing. "Analyse linguistique d'un genre de discours : l'entretien - écrit ou oral - à dominante culturelle." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université de Lorraine, 2022. http://www.theses.fr/2022LORR0263.
Full textAbstract:
Notre travail porte sur un ensemble d'entretiens, écrits ou oraux, à dominante culturelle. Nous identifions le genre de l'« entretien culturel ». Ce genre de discours s'apparente au dialogue et relève de diverses sphères d'activités culturelles (pratiques artistiques principalement) et s'inscrit dans des institutions identifiées de production ou de diffusion des savoirs. Les domaines culturels que nous avons privilégiés sont la littérature (F. Ponge, N. Sarraute, A. Nothomb, É. Reinhardt) et le cinéma (A. Varda, J. Rouch, B. Tavernier, M. Piccoli). Les entretiens oraux proviennent d'enregistrements de la chaîne radiophonique France-Culture. Les entretiens écrits sont des publications livresques ou sont extraits de médias de presse (Télérama ou Le Monde).Dans une première partie, nous nous efforçons de caractériser le genre de l'entretien culturel en le rapportant à sa superstructure dialogale et en le différenciant d'une conversation ordinaire. Nous avons tout d'abord fait le constat de l'omniprésence médiatique de l'entretien dans les médias, ce que nous avons attesté par diverses données chiffrées. Ensuite, nous avons traité la question de la synonymie d'entretien, conversation et dialogue à travers des usages de presse (Le Monde). Enfin, vient notre cadrage théorique qui est surtout constitué par l'analyse du discours (D. Maingueneau, 1999, 2002, 2014), le dialogisme (J. Bres, 2005), les analyses conversationnelles (E. Roulet et al., 19872) et interactionnistes (C. Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 1990), et la linguistique textuelle (J.-M. Adam, [1992] 20174). L'ensemble de ces apports théoriques se fonde sur la différence entre les genres premiers et les genres seconds opérée par M. Bakhtine (1984). À l'issue de la première partie, nous définissons le genre de l'entretien culturel, c'est-à-dire que nous spécifions les composantes de sa macro-structure.Ensuite, dans une deuxième grande partie, nous procédons à des analyses linguistiques d'extraits pour lesquelles nous nous sommes dotée d'outils linguistiques susceptibles de rendre compte du niveau de structuration intermédiaire. Le flux verbal et le dynamisme informationnel nécessitent en effet que l'on sache appréhender la question énonciative ou la macro-syntaxe avec des outils d'analyse adaptés : la grammaire de la période (Groupe de Fribourg, 2012) ; la grammaire de texte et les stratégies de topicalisation (B. Combettes, 1986). De même, la micro-syntaxe dans ses réalisations orales nécessitent des outils appropriés comme la grille syntaxique de C. Blanche-Benveniste (1990).Dans notre dernière partie, nous cherchons plus spécialement à caractériser les échanges entre une forme orale et une forme écrite, la réalisation d'effets de mixité n'étant pas nécessairement liés au support lui-même. La thèse se propose de revenir sur le continuum communicationnel de Koch & Oesterreicher (2001) pour en éprouver les paramètres (« les déterminants situationnels et contextuels »). Il nous a semblé que le continuum communicationnel est une solution pour résoudre la question générale de la dichotomie oral et/ou écrit. Nous essayerons de montrer comment ce continuum opère dans le cas des entretiens culturelsOur work concerns a set of interviews, written or oral, with a cultural focus. We identified the genre of the “cultural interview”. This genre of discourse is similar to the dialogue and it concerns various spheres of cultural activities (mainly artistic practices) that are inscribed in identified institutions of production or publication. The cultural domains that we have selected are literature (F. Ponge, N. Sarraute, A. Nothomb, É. Reinhardt) and cinema (A. Varda, J. Rouch, B. Tavernier, M. Piccoli). The oral interviews are mainly from recordings of the radio station « France-Culture » whereas, the written interviews were selected from books or press media such as, Télérama or Le Monde.Firstly, we characterize the genre of the cultural interview by relating it to its dialogical superstructure and differentiating it from an ordinary conversation. We noted the media omnipresence of the interview which we have attested by various figures. Then, we deal with the synonymous questions of an interview, conversation and dialogue through press usage (Le Monde). Finally, our theoretical framework is mainly constituted by discourse analysis (D. Maingueneau, 1999, 2002, 2014), dialogism (J. Bres, 2005), conversational analysis (E. Roulet et al., 19872), interactionist analysis (C. Kerbrat-Orecchioni, 1990) and textual linguistics (J.-M. Adam, [1992] 20174). All these theoretical contributions are based on the difference between primary and secondary genres made by M. Bakhtine (1984). At the end of the first part, we define the genre of the cultural conversation by specifying the components of its macro-structure.We then proceed to linguistic analyses of excerpts for which we have equipped ourselves with linguistic tools likely to account for the intermediate level of structuring. The verbal flow and the informational dynamism require indeed that we know how to apprehend the enunciative question or the macro-syntax with adapted analysis tools: the grammar of the period (Groupe de Fribourg, 2012); the grammar of text and the strategies of topicalization (B. Combettes, 1986). Similarly, micro-syntax in its oral realizations, requires appropriate tools such as the syntactic grid of C. Blanche-Benveniste (1990).Lastly, we specifically characterize the exchanges between an oral form and a written form. The realization of mixing effects may not be necessarily linked to the medium itself. The thesis proposes to return to Koch & Oesterreicher's communicational continuum (2001) in order to test its parameters (situational and contextual determinants). We observed that the communicative continuum is a solution to the general question of the oral and/or written dichotomy. Here we show how this continuum operates in the case of cultural interviews

Ces dernières années, les variables continues ont émergées en tant qu alternative aux variables discrètes dans les communications quantiques. Cette thèse s'inscrit dans ce cadre des communications quantiques avec des variables continues. Les variables continues utilisées ici sont les quadratures d'un mode du champ électromagnétique. Pour les mesurer, nous avons construit une détection homodyne équilibrée, limitée au bruit de photons, impulsionnelle et résolue en temps. Celle-ci peut effectuer 800 000 mesures par seconde. En se fondant sur la limite de la duplication quantique, nous montrons qu'une valeur de la fidélité supérieure à 2/3 dans un protocole de téléportation quantique garantit que l'état téléporté est la meilleure copie qui reste de l'état d'entrée. Nous introduisons de nouveaux protocoles de distribution quantique de clef utilisant des variables quantiques continues, sûrs face à des attaques individuelles pour toute valeur de la transmission de la ligne optique entre Alice et Bob. En particulier, il n'est pas nécessaire que cette transmission soit plus grande que 50 % (moins de 3 dB de pertes). Ni compression des fluctuations quantiques, ni intrication ne sont nécessaires. Nous avons implémenté expérimentalement ces protocoles, en utilisant la détection homodyne limitée au bruit de photon mentionnée plus haut et des états cohérents. L'extraction complète de la clef secrète est réalisée en utilisant une technique de réconciliation par tranches inversée suivie d amplification de confidentialité. Notre dispositif expérimental produit un taux net de transmission de clef de 1,7 megabits par seconde pour une ligne sans pertes, et 75 kilobits par seconde pour une ligne avec 3,1 dB de pertes. Les limitations actuelles sont essentiellement techniques et proviennent surtout de l'efficacité limitée du logiciel de réconciliation.

Harrold, William. "Detection of continuous phase modulation." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 1988. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.235856.
Full textAbstract:
The use of coded modulations such as continuous phase modulation (CPM) can improve the power and bandwidth efficiency of digital communication links. The price paid for these gains is in increased receiver complexity. The power efficiency attainable with the highly redundant signal sets employed by coded modulations becomes limited by the ability of the receiver to achieve accurate carrier phase synchronisation. Power efficiency is assessed in terms of the bit error rate performance in white Gaussian noise. A new CPM detector called the partially coherent Viterbi algorithm (PCVA) is introduced which tries to preserve the power efficiency in the presence of mild phase perturbations. The detector employs the Viterbi algorithm with a new partially coherent decision metric. Carrier phase estimates are derived dynamically from the detector's own survivor paths. In the presence of phase jitter, the PCVA is superior to a Viterbi decision directed phase locked loop. The PCVA could be applied to the detection of modulation schemes other than CPM. An error analysis of the PCVA in the absence of phase jitter provides a new and more realistic way of assessing the relative merits of various CPM schemes. Unmerged error events have been found to occur when CPM is detected with carrier phase uncertainty. The carrier phase estimator pulls in the residual phase error in such cases. A reduced state Viterbi algorithm has been examined when using the partially coherent decision metric. Receiver complexity reduction is still possible even when the detector is not coherent. A method of acquiring the carrier frequency accurately from the received CPM signal is described. The other main research goal has been the development of a new low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) error probability analysis for coherently detected CPM. CPM is designed for use on power limited channels, but the existing error probability analysis is only accurate at high SNR. The problem at low SNR is that several error events become significant, not just the one at minimum squared Euclidean distance. The new analysis considers many events and makes statistical allowance for their pairwise interaction. The probability of events intersecting and reclosing each other has not been analysed before. This work applies to maximum likelihood sequence detection on a memoryless channel in general. A new survey of CPM error performance is made and proves the existing minimum distance results to be often optimistic especially at low and intermediate signal-to-noise ratios. The new approximation is closer to the simulated error rates where these are available. The coherent error analysis involves some computation but it is still approximately three orders of magnitude faster than simulation.

Full textAbstract:
Manufacturing enterprises are a key driver of economic growth (Eurostat, 2016). Implementing continuous improvement (CI) is commonly used to increase competitiveness (Hyland et al., 2007), but despite the well-known theory of CI, many manufacturing companies fail in implementing it (Bhasin, 2012; Nordin et al., 2012; Tiwari et al., 2007). An identified critical success factor in CI implementation is the evaluation of performance, including the performance evaluation system itself, the linkage between targets at different company levels, and continual evaluation of performance (Bakås et al., 2011; Scherrer-Rathje et al., 2009; Ukko et al., 2009). Another critical success factor in CI implementation is the communication of performance measures (Bakås et al., 2011; Ukko et al., 2009). This research explores the communication of performance measures. The aim is to support CI by improving the communication of performance measures, and to this end, this thesis concentrates on identifying the main challenges in the communication of performance measures supporting CI. The research scope is manufacturing companies in general, and manufacturing SMEs in particular. The relevant literature concerning the communication of performance measures in manufacturing companies is identified and summarized. Also, current practice is explored, focusing on how performance measures are communicated in manufacturing companies, and whether and how the communication supports CI. This has been done to identify divergences between current practice and theory. Finally, theory and empirical findings are synthesized to identify some of the main challenges to be addressed in order to succeed in CI. The main task is to support CI efforts in manufacturing SMEs, eliminating the identified divergences in the communication of performance measures by adapting these measures to these manufacturing SMEs. These challenges can be summarized as follows: - using both financial performance measures as well as objective and subjective, non-financial performance measures - aligning performance measures with strategy and targets - integrating all performance measure communication, as related to both daily performance and CI, in the same communication loop. - forming two-way communication channels between managers and operators - aligning oral and written communication channels - exploring how information systems can facilitate the communication of performance measures - using and optimizing the visual communication of performance measuresI avhandlingen ingår även följande publikationer:

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif central de cette thèse est d'exploiter les propriétés quantiques du champ électromagnétique pour développer de nouveaux dispositifs de communication. L'étude porte sur les composantes de quadrature (variables quantiques continues) d'un mode impulsionnel du champ lumineux. Une démonstration expérimentale de cryptographie quantique avec des états cohérents a été réalisée. Le dispositif se base sur des impulsions modulées en amplitude et en phase et comportant en moyenne une centaine de photons. Pour chaque impulsion lumineuse, une détection homodyne résolue en temps permet de mesurer une composante de quadrature particulière avec une forte efficacité. Une clé secrète a ainsi été transmise à un débit de 1.7 Mbits/s en l'absence de pertes et 75 kbits/s pour une transmission présentant des pertes de 3.1 dB, ce qui ouvre la voie pour des applications de cryptographie quantique à hauts débits. Afin d'étudier l'utilisation de spécificités quantiques, nous avons développé une source impulsionnelle d'états comprimés et d'états intriqués. Cette source utilise des conversions non-linéaires d'impulsions ultrabrèves intervenant dans un cristal mince de niobate de potassium. Suivant la configuration, la réduction du bruit en quadrature est de 2.7 dB sous le niveau de bruit quantique standard, ou les corrélations entre les quadratures des faisceaux intriqués sont de 2.5 dB. Grâce à ce dispositif, nous avons mis en oeuvre la première expérience de "dégaussification", pour transformer des impulsions de vide comprimé en des états non-gaussiens. Ce protocole est directement lié à la distillation de l'intrication de variables continues, qui permet d'améliorer la portée des dispositifs de cryptographie. Enfin, des schémas sont étudiés pour réaliser des tests complets des inégalités de Bell avec des variables continues mesurées par des détections homodynes.

Full textAbstract:
As Internet of Things (IoT), originally comprising of only a few simple sensing devices, reaches 34 billion units by the end of 2020, they cannot be defined as merely monitoring sensors anymore.
IoT capabilities have been improved in recent years as relatively large internal computation and storage capacity are becoming a commodity.
In the early days of IoT, processing and storage were typically performed in cloud.
New IoT architectures are able to perform complex tasks directly on-device, thus enabling the concept of an extended computational continuum.
Real-time critical scenarios e.g. autonomous vehicles sensing, area surveying or disaster rescue and recovery require all the actors involved to be coordinated and collaborate without human interaction to a common goal, sharing data and resources, even in intermittent networks covered areas.
This poses new problems in distributed systems, resource management, device orchestration,as well as data processing.
This work proposes a new orchestration and communication framework, namely CContinuum, designed to manage resources in heterogeneous IoT architectures across multiple application scenarios. This work focuses on two key sustainability macroscenarios: (a) environmental sensing and awareness, and (b) electric mobility support.
In the first case a mechanism to measure air quality over a long period of time for different applications at global scale (3 continents 4 countries) is introduced. The system has been developed in-house from the sensor design to the mist-computing operations performed by the nodes.
In the second scenario, a technique to transmit large amounts of fine-time granularity battery data from a moving vehicle to a control center is proposed jointly with the ability of allocating tasks on demand within the computing continuum.

Political decisions about higher education and organizational decision-making within higher educational institutions reflect the acceptance of academic capitalist discourse, placing financial burdens on students, stress upon faculty, and the obliteration of trust between faculty and administration. In this critical layered narrative account, a tenure-track faculty member examines the impacts and influences of academic capitalism, including how this neoliberal discourse disregards the idea of higher education as a public good, creates an atmosphere of fear among faculty, and affects faculty-student relationships. This account illustrates how academic capitalism, with its emphasis on money and power, influenced decisions regarding a partnership with a software company, and of course, a rebooted football program.

Full textAbstract:
Totalitarianism has been an object of extensive communicative research since its heyday: already in the late 1930s, such major cultural figures as George Orwell or Hannah Arendt were busy describing the visual and verbal languages of Stalinism and Nazism. After the war, many fashionable trends in social sciences and humanities (ranging from Begriffsgeschichte and Ego-Documentology to Critical Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis) were called upon to continue this media-centered trend in the face of increasing political determination of the burgeoing field. Nevertheless, the integration of historical, sociological and linguistic knowledge about totalitarian society on a firm factual ground remains the thing of the future. This book is the first step in this direction. By using history and theory of communication as an integrative methodological device, it reaches out to those properties of totalitarian society which appear to be beyond the grasp of specific disciplines. Furthermore, this functional approach allows to extend the analysis of communicative practices commonly associated with fascist Italy, Nazi Germany and Soviet Union, to other locations (France, United States of America and Great Britain in the 1930s) or historical contexts (post-Soviet developments in Russia or Kyrgyzstan). This, in turn, leads to the revaluation of the very term »totalitarian«: no longer an ideological label or a stock attribute of historical narration, it gets a life of its own, defining a specific constellation of hierarchies, codes and networks within a given society.

AbstractAn important part of scientific communication nowadays is to communicate backgrounds and results of research to the interested public and to other researchers, following the general principle of ‘open science’. The part of such scientific communication oriented towards the general public is often interchangeably called, for instance, popularisation, democratisation or dissemination, to mention some of the frequent denominations. In this conceptual chapter, a continuum of categories is proposed for this type of scientific communication intended to insert some relevant differentiations. Following a knowledge communication approach with a focus on knowledge asymmetries between senders and receivers, the proposed principle is that of level of participatory ambition, that is, to what extent the researcher wants to construct the knowledge asymmetry as one allowing the non-expert to participate in the knowledge generation or not. The four-stage continuum reaches from infotainment over dissemination and popularisation to citizen science as the knowledge communication type with the highest degree of participatory ambition. The continuum is intended to be used as a basis for linguistic studies of the ways the different level of participatory ambition is affecting text formulation.

Full textAbstract:
Over the stretch of years, the Philippines has been facing numerous medical problems since the public outcry against a ‘dengue’ vaccine. As a result, parents refused their children from having an anti-measles vaccine which created a medical outbreak in the country. Product warnings are found to be in their optimal position in safeguarding the life of consumerpatients. This paper anatomizes the lexical features of medicine product warnings in the Philippines which are crucial in the response discourses. A range of linguistic frameworks were applied and significant findings were drawn. Lapses on the use of noun abstractness, synthetic personalization, field continuum, adjectives, and adverbs were identified. Such an investigation brought up the transparency of communicative features of medicine safety texts. In the end, linguistic components create a vital impact on the legal content adequacy of medicine product warnings, unfolding the vitalities of these messages in facilitating informed decisionmaking among consumer-patients.

Full textAbstract:
The architectural design process is a means of translating information into form, and has long relied on indirect (“remote”) control mechanisms for communicating and translating the architect’s authorial intent into a built work. These methods have generally evolved from a more direct, physical basis, as both technology and the discipline have evolved. To communicate design ideas, architects have relied on methodologies that range from an extreme desire for control, to models that attempt to relinquish many controls entirely. Early communication models, in part due to lack of material, form, and program diversity, allowed for a less systematic and complex descriptive method; inscriptions in the earth, physical detail models along with a set of instructions, or simple scale models of the intention were all that was required.2 As cultures and their technologies advanced, communication methods such as scaled orthographic drawings, specifications and other forms of written instructions, and now fully realized Building Information Models, have become normative practice in a profession that looks for total control of the built work before it is physically realized. Apart from the communicative control models mentioned above, there are authorial models which have also progressed in complexity and abstraction alongside societal advancements. In the discipline’s infancy, authorship involved subtle evolutions of proportion and order within a well-established typological system. In modernism, the authorial models evolved as architects experimented with increased typological invention in response to a radically changing technological and social environment. Advancing to the contemporary “digital” moment, architects continue to develop systems to control complexities within the work, mapping strategies that deal with collecting and spatializing data, while others see contemporary design tools as a means to relinquish some design control to outside forces whose unexpected potential is compelling. This paper gives examples of remote communicative and authorial controls, and posits a new theory of the potential meaningful effects of leveraging these control mechanisms in new ways using three projects by SILO AR+D.

Full textAbstract:
Successful cooperation and collaboration between teachers and school parents are essential for the development of students, their successful learning process, and academic achievements. This cooperation and collaboration between teachers and parents are essential to creating it successfully, setting responsibilities and rights for each educational partner. Important question- how to build this cooperation respectfully and engage students in this cooperation to reach academic success and educational objectives mentioned in educational documents. The Qridi education program, created in Finland, is a tool for promoting teacher cooperation with school parents that saves teachers’ time in communicating with their parents. The program is based on a teacher’s planned and supervised training process, through regular school evaluations, students’ self-assessments, and learning to observe the work of another classmate, which is also available to parents, and through continued training at home, parents can continue the school teaching process. The purpose of the study is to assess the Qridi program’s effectiveness in teacher collaboration with parents. Methods used for the study are literature analysis using the SALSA method as data analysis method, survey for teachers and survey for parents as data acquisition method, and data analysis with descriptive data analysis method. Analyzing survey data, it was clarified that teachers can significantly reduce the time spent on communication with parents without losing the quality of the communication, teachers, and parents are satisfied with using the Qridi program, that it is user-friendly, it was easy to start to work with it and that communication for both parties has improved.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract A new analytical workflow that uses pressure-transient data to characterize connectivity between two originally non-communicating reservoir zones is presented. With this technique, hydraulic communication is clearly identified and corresponding fluid crossflow rates accurately quantified. It is applicable to a wide range of communication mechanisms, including inactive commingled-completion wells, conductive fractures and faults, in addition to behind-casing completion problems. The impact of interference is also captured by handling an unlimited number of wells and communicating media. The solution uses pressure-transient data effectively to diagnose communication and estimate the amount of transported fluids. The new formulation is a general formulation for handling an unlimited number of producing wells and communicating media, which helps analyze pressure responses under the influence of interference. The reservoir system under consideration is assumed to be two-dimensional with two initially-isolated reservoir zones, intersected by an arbitrary number of wells, part of which are active producers while others can be penetrating wells with commingled completion, in addition to other communicating media. The well test duration is assumed long enough for the pressure-transient data to be affected by fluid communication. To demonstrate the applicability of the new model, a synthetic case study is presented to diagnose a fluid-communication mechanism. The system under consideration consists of two isolated reservoirs and two wells: a single producer completed in the top reservoir in which pressure responses are measured, and an offset well connecting both reservoirs through a fluid communication mechanism. Using the model, type-curves have been utilized to diagnose the hydraulic communication in the offset well. The connectivity of the communication channel in the offset well is also estimated by matching the pressure-transient responses of the model with the measured data. The rate of crossflow between the two reservoirs is also quantified as a function of time. It is observed from the log-log plot that higher connectivity values of the cement sheath causes a steeper merging ramp in the transition region, following a period dominated by the producing reservoir. Although the rate of crossflow depends on the magnitude of the connectivity, it is observed that there is an upper limit controlled by the rock and fluid properties of the individual reservoirs. In addition, the pressure regime at the location of the offset well plays an important role in the rate of crossflow. This study presents a novel analytical approach to detect communication from pressure-transient data, and to quantify the magnitude of crossflow rates between reservoir zones. The formulation captures the influence of interference between wells caused by production. While complementing diagnostic information from other sources to confirm fluid movement from isolated zones, the method also quantifies the connectivity of the communicating media, and the amount of crossflow rates as a continuous function of time.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – Hotel managers meet daily challenges when communicating and conducting hotel business operations. Some challenges can be predicted and prevented, while some are ad hoc and cannot be influenced in advance. To address these challenges and convey messages they use communication. Communication is at the heart of every business and a key success factor. The purpose of this paper is to investigate, analyze, present and map the internal and external challenges that hotel managers face when communicating and managing hotel business, based on a theoretical review of previous research. It aims to identify the importance of the role communication plays in hotel operations and how it contributes to them, and to identify future communication challenges that hotel managers will face in hotel business operations. Methodology – This paper uses the literature review as a research method and focuses on reviewed open sources only and published relevant studies in publications about communication, management and tourism and hospitality industry. Desk research was used to search for and analyse papers. The literature review provides an analytical overview of the latest publications and research on the role of managerial communication and hotel business operations. The search for relevant papers was based on the keywords challenges, communication, management, and hotel business operations, using the citation and bibliographic databases of DOAB, EconLit, Emerald, Google Scholar, SAGE journals, Science Direct, Scopus, Springer, Taylor & Francis, and Web of Science. Findings – Results indicate that maintaining continuous and targeted communication is of crucial importance in ensuring timely and appropriate responses to emerging challenges. At the core of any business, communication is an element that warrants great attention. Poor communication can be counter-productive and adversely affect overall business performance. The paper highlights the primary challenges in communication facing hotel managers. These are: sending the right message to the right audience at the right time; communicating about sustainability; addressing the environmental and social awareness of consumers, financial, political and health crises, information and communication technology development, social networks, climate-related disasters, armed conflicts, and other challenges. Contribution – The contribution of this paper is that it presents an overview of the challenges that hotel managers meet in communicating in hotel business operations and can serve as a basis for further research in this field and improvement of hotel business operations. Challenges that have appeared over the past twenty years have been analyzed and grouped so that hotel managers can learn which challenges often arise in running a hotel business and prepare strategies to overcome the same or similar challenges in their business. By reviewing the literature, the paper determines what is known about this topic and what needs to be further researched. It is recommended that further studies investigate the current challenges facing hotel managers, given the increasingly rapid changes, globalization, computerization and new world crises occurring today.

Full textAbstract:
The effect of time delays on the stability of a recently proposed continuum approach for controlling a multi agent system (MAS) evolving in n-D under a special local inter-agent communication protocol is considered. There a homogenous map determined by n+1 leaders is learned by the follower agents each communicating with n+1 adjacent agents. In this work both position and velocity information of adjacent agents are used for local control of follower agents whereas in previous work [1, 2] only position information of adjacent agents was used. Stability of the proposed method under a time delay h is studied using the cluster treatment of characteristic roots (CTCR) [3]. It is shown that the stability of MAS evolution can be preserved when (i) the velocity of any follower agent is updated using both position and velocity of its adjacent agents at time (t-h); and (ii) the communication matrix has real eigenvalues. In addition, it is shown that when there is no communication delay, deviations from a selected homogenous map during transients may be minimized by updating only the position of a follower using both position and velocity of its adjacent agents.

Full textAbstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic is revealing that global big tech platforms and social media are core sites for continuous engagement with crisis content for young citizens. This study included twenty-four countries from all continents at the time of the heightened COVID-19 crisis, and our survey targeted 18-40 year olds, Millennials and Gen Zs – overall n = 23,483 respondents. Outcomes show that for young citizens across continents, crisis communication is not just about press briefings. Instead, crisis communication is continuous interaction and engagement across their multiple source environments. Young citizens navigate social media, national media, search sites and messaging apps, they engage with peer communities, science and health experts and – across all countries – substantially with the social media content of the World Health Organization (WHO). Overall, they create their own individual crisis narrative based on the sources they use and the insights they select. This report outlines these new crisis communication dimensions within a transnational social media space and offers numerous suggestions for incorporating social media in crisis response strategies.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional methods for communicating the presence of maintenance activities and work zones have been done with a variety of fixed signs. The increase of in-vehicle connectivity on our roads—either directly integrated into the vehicle or via an application running on a mobile phone–provides an opportunity for additional communication to motorists about the presence of emergency vehicles, maintenance activities, or work zones. Although the exact form of the in-vehicle communication is evolving and will continue to do so, a critical first step is to leverage the extensive telematics currently deployed on the Indiana Department of Transportation Vehicles. The objective of this study was to conduct trial deployments on a variety of INDOT vehicles, and to begin a dialog with private sector partners about what information INDOT can share that will provide a safer roadway for all motorists, INDOT workers, and INDOT partners. The final design of connected vehicles will likely change considerably over the next few years as market forces determine what type of information is directly integrated into the vehicle and what information is integrated via cell phones. This report identifies several examples where in-vehicle notification alerting drivers to the presence of service and contractor vehicles was acknowledged by drivers. Hard braking data is being used to determine if these alerts have a meaningful impact on safety. Early results indicate substantial reduction in hard braking events (from 29 to 3) between conditions when queue trucks are not used and when they are used. A larger data set is currently being collected with Hoosier Helpers to isolate the impact of the in-vehicle alerts.

Full textAbstract:
In the article we interpret discrete and continuous message as interrupted and constant, limited and continual text, which has specific features and a number of differences between traditional (one-dimensional) text and hypertext (multidimensional). The purpose of this study is to define the concept of “hypertext”, consideration of its characteristics and features of the structure, similarities and differences with the traditional text, including the message in the media and communication. To achieve the goal of the study, we used a number of methods typical of journalism. Empirical analysis enabled a generalized description of the subject of study, which allowed to know it as a phenomenon. With the help of generalization the characteristic and specific regularities and principles of hypertext were studied. The system method is used to identify the dependence of each element of hypertext on its place in the text system as a whole. The retrospective method helped to understand the preconditions for the emergence of hypertext, to trace the dynamics of its development. General scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) made it possible to formulate the conclusions of the study. Thanks to hypertext and the hypertext systems, the concept of virtual reality has gained tangible meaning. In hypertext space, virtuality organically complements reality. The state of virtuality, in this case, becomes the concept of hyperreality, and all this merges into a single whole in the space of computer text. Due to its volume and multidimensionality, hypertext can arouse scientific interest as an interdisciplinary discipline. In today’s world, the phenomenon of hypertext has been the subject of numerous discussions, conferences and research in the field of social communications, linguistics and psychology. Today, a significant number of organizations conduct large-scale research based on the concepts of hypertext associations and associative navigation.

The article continues, for the first time in English in domestic science, to study the question of the need to create a new scientific theory – the theory of mass information. For the first time too raises the question of creating, in a place of the current theory of mass communication, a system of sciences including: a) mass information (shpuld be created now in rpoh of mass information), b) the theory of mass understanding (has created as a hermeneutics of the masses), c) the theory of mass communication (has created as a theory of the transfer of content) and the theory of mass emotions (started to create in 2017). This is a paradoxical situation – the absence of fundamental theory of mass information in the epoch of mass information. Researches in the scientific works of foreign mass communication also showed the absence of a holistic theory, as well as attempts to create it, even the lack of decisions on the need to create it as a new scientific field.

Wearable sensors (“wearables”) provide a mechanism to monitor the health of service members and first responders continuously and remotely. Several wearables are commercially available, with different configurations, sensors, algorithms, and forms of communication. Choosing the “best” wearable depends on the information you need to make decisions, how often you need this information, and the level of accuracy required. In this article, we review six use cases for wearables that are relevant to the military and first responders. We examine the metrics measured and the wearables used. We conclude with recommendations for requirements and wearable selection given the constraints imposed by various use cases.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Clear allergen communication in food business operators (FBOs) has been shown to have a positive impact on customers’ perceptions of businesses (Barnett et al., 2013). However, the precise size and nature of this effect is not known: there is a paucity of quantitative evidence in this area, particularly in the form of randomised controlled trials (RCTs). The Food Standards Agency (FSA), in collaboration with Kantar’s Behavioural Practice, conducted a feasibility trial to investigate whether a randomised cluster trial – involving the proactive communication of allergen information at the point of sale in FBOs – is feasible in the United Kingdom (UK). Objectives: The trial sought to establish: ease of recruitments of businesses into trials; customer response rates for in-store outcome surveys; fidelity of intervention delivery by FBO staff; sensitivity of outcome survey measures to change; and appropriateness of the chosen analytical approach. Method: Following a recruitment phase – in which one of fourteen multinational FBOs was successfully recruited – the execution of the feasibility trial involved a quasi-randomised matched-pairs clustered experiment. Each of the FBO’s ten participating branches underwent pair-wise matching, with similarity of branches judged according to four criteria: Food Hygiene Rating Scheme (FHRS) score, average weekly footfall, number of staff and customer satisfaction rating. The allocation ratio for this trial was 1:1: one branch in each pair was assigned to the treatment group by a representative from the FBO, while the other continued to operate in accordance with their standard operating procedure. As a business-based feasibility trial, customers at participating branches throughout the fieldwork period were automatically enrolled in the trial. The trial was single-blind: customers at treatment branches were not aware that they were receiving an intervention. All customers who visited participating branches throughout the fieldwork period were asked to complete a short in-store survey on a tablet affixed in branches. This survey contained four outcome measures which operationalised customers’: perceptions of food safety in the FBO; trust in the FBO; self-reported confidence to ask for allergen information in future visits; and overall satisfaction with their visit. Results: Fieldwork was conducted from the 3 – 20 March 2020, with cessation occurring prematurely due to the closure of outlets following the proliferation of COVID-19. n=177 participants took part in the trial across the ten branches; however, response rates (which ranged between 0.1 - 0.8%) were likely also adversely affected by COVID-19. Intervention fidelity was an issue in this study: while compliance with delivery of the intervention was relatively high in treatment branches (78.9%), erroneous delivery in control branches was also common (46.2%). Survey data were analysed using random-intercept multilevel linear regression models (due to the nesting of customers within branches). Despite the trial’s modest sample size, there was some evidence to suggest that the intervention had a positive effect for those suffering from allergies/intolerances for the ‘trust’ (β = 1.288, p<0.01) and ‘satisfaction’ (β = 0.945, p<0.01) outcome variables. Due to singularity within the fitted linear models, hierarchical Bayes models were used to corroborate the size of these interactions. Conclusions: The results of this trial suggest that a fully powered clustered RCT would likely be feasible in the UK. In this case, the primary challenge in the execution of the trial was the recruitment of FBOs: despite high levels of initial interest from four chains, only one took part. However, it is likely that the proliferation of COVID-19 adversely impacted chain participation – two other FBOs withdrew during branch eligibility assessment and selection, citing COVID-19 as a barrier. COVID-19 also likely lowered the on-site survey response rate: a significant negative Pearson correlation was observed between daily survey completions and COVID-19 cases in the UK, highlighting a likely relationship between the two. Limitations: The trial was quasi-random: selection of branches, pair matching and allocation to treatment/control groups were not systematically conducted. These processes were undertaken by a representative from the FBO’s Safety and Quality Assurance team (with oversight from Kantar representatives on pair matching), as a result of the chain’s internal operational restrictions.

Full textAbstract:
Shifts in disturbance patterns across the Northeast are of increasing concern as the climate continues to change. In particular, changes in patterns of frequency, severity and extent of disturbance event may have detrimental cascading impacts on forest ecosystems and human communities. To explore how changing disturbance regimes might impact future forest health and management it is necessary to understand the historical trends and impacts of disturbance in the region. Although individual types of disturbance have already been analyzed, there is a need for a consolidated overview of the current state of disturbance in northeastern forests. To address this need, the Forest Ecosystem Monitoring Cooperative (FEMC) developed the FEMC: Tracking Shifts in Disturbance Regimes web portal for users to explore changes over time of key disturbance drivers, identify important disturbance responses, and discover where monitoring is happening for both drivers and responses. In collaboration with our advisory committee, we identified key disturbance drivers—flood, high winds, fire, drought, pests—and responses—macroinvertebrates, cold-water fisheries, invasive plants—that are of particular concern in the region. For each of the drivers we identified a suitable regional dataset and analyzed changes over time in frequency, severity, and extent. We also created a structured framework to catalogue programs across the region that are monitoring for these disturbance drivers and responses. Version 1.0 of the FEMC: Tracking Shifts in Disturbance Regimes (https://uvm.edu/femc/disturbance) web portal, first released in October 2021, contains 272 data programs, 11 drivers and three responses. Through the web portal users can browse programs by state, driver type or response type, and explore where monitoring is happening across the region. Driver-specific analyses allow users to quickly see the trends in severity, frequency and extent of selected disturbances and compare the impacts in selected states to regional data. We hope that this collection of programs and the analysis of trends provide researchers and land managers with an easy way to understand the current state of disturbance in northeastern forests that enables them to analyze and plan for future impacts.
