La reducción enunciativa: Podemos y la constricción de la voz de la multitud

La irrupción política de Podemos en el panorama mediático y electoral español ha supuesto no sólo una revolución política sino también comunicativa. El 15M significó la crisis definitiva de la hegemonía indiscutible del Modelo Difusión en política, como ya se había verificado en otros espacios de comunicación social. Con su “no nos representan”, el 15M fue ante todo un proceso de disolución enunciativa. Tras él Podemos es el único caso de un experimento de hibridación integral del Modelo Difusión y el Modelo Reticular, intentando propiciar su sinergia. El desembarco de Pablo Iglesias en la televisión resulta crucial, pues se trata de un intento de abrochar la enunciación mediático-electoral con la enunciación popular-reticular.

With broad individual variability in social communication skills of children with autism spectrum disorders and increasing focus on interventions targeting social communication of this population, there is a need for systematic analysis of how social communication outcomes are measured. This study aimed to systematically analyze the measurement tools used in the music therapy interventions for improving social communication of children with ASD. Electronic databases and music therapy journals were searched for controlled studies published between 1980 and 2015. A total of 21 studies were included for the analysis. The results demonstrated that direct observation of behaviors was the most frequently used and the combination of targeted social communication areas and specific measurements used for a specific skill varied among the studies. In addition, 90.4% of studies reported interrater reliability. These results indicate that there has been a diversity in approaches to measure social communication skills despite increasing attempts for systematic measurements. In consideration of the nature of social communication development in children with ASD, multifaceted strategy to understand and assess the target skills in terms of specific behavior acquisition, social functioning in general, and social cognition was recommended.

Characteristics of Brains in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Structure, Function and Connectivity across the Lifespan.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impaired social communication and restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs). Over the past decade, neuroimaging studies have provided considerable insights underlying neurobiological mechanisms of ASD. In this review, we introduce recent findings from brain imaging studies to characterize the brains of ASD across the human lifespan. Results of structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies dealing with total brain volume, regional brain structure and cortical area are summarized. Using task-based functional MRI (fMRI), many studies have shown dysfunctional activation in critical areas of social communication and RRBs. We also describe several data to show abnormal connectivity in the ASD brains. Finally, we suggest the possible strategies to study ASD brains in the future.

A Synthesis of Script Fading Effects With Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A 20-Year Review

One of the defining characteristics of individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a severe deficit in the area of social communication. Script fading interventions are used to promote language development and are associated with an increase in novel language for individuals with ASD. Sixteen single-case design studies of script fading interventions were synthesized between the years of 1993 and 2013. Results of the reviewed research indicate that script fading is used with children ages 2 through 15, with the majority of studies conducted in clinical settings. We conclude that script fading is an empirically supported treatment (What Works Clearinghouse 2014) and is an evidence-based practice (Wong et al. 2013). Implications and future directions for research are proposed.

Samokreacja poprzez sztukę. Autoresocjalizacja kobiet osadzonych w Areszcie Śl edczym w Białymstoku

The intention of the authors is to persuade the leader to the statement that it is possible to rehabilitate women through art. The actions which are undertaken in theatre help women with judgements to develop self-creation. Art allows you to acquire certain knowledge and skill, as well as characterological change of habits. Therefore, the rehabilitation of the penitentiary should be perceived as the process of personality transformation. The evidence of above can be seen in the women’s statements inmates in the Custody in Bialystok, which are placed in the text. They belong to the theatre group WORT H, operating in the custody. Their testimonies show that the rehabilitation theatre acts as a kind of catharsis, but also raises, educates and has a therapeutic power. The ability to play different roles, allows women prisoners self-diagnosis and self-reflection. Thanks to the theater actious the women can fill their deficits in the area of social communication and they shape valuable habits. Moreover, they prepare for life in accordance with the law in terms of liberty. They re-build on the solid foundation of the theater resocialisation. The prisoners’ involvement in the plays performances also allows the audience to believe in the transformation of women who had little hope for recovery, that might have been lost for the society in the audience perspective. Theater actions re-build self-esteem and can help establish social contacts by prisoner women.

How the Internet automates communication

This article looks at how Internet media bring about the automation of social communication. Whereas communication originally took place between humans, human–machine interaction is now replacing this traditional type of communication in a growing number of areas of society. This form of mediatized communication is characterized by a high degree of rationality (amongst other things), inasmuch as the applications are consequently governed by criteria of efficiency. As a result, important areas of social communication are becoming detached from subjective factors and are governed by a goal-oriented merit principle. The article identifies eight areas of automated communication, discusses five different types of rationalization (increase in efficiency, accumulation, recombination, correlation, and the adaptation of system logics from other systems), and looks at the consequences for society of this new type of Internet communication.

Communication of School and Family in Relation to the Form Teacher

This paper sums up the results of one part of a research, which deals with the problems of the communication between school and parents. This partial topic contains the results of the questionnaire research, which was realized in February 2013 and there were ascertained the opinions of secondary school students aged 11-15 about their relations with their form teachers. The results show that students regard their teachers as providers of social support and trust them. Nevertheless, the area of social communication among students and between the student and the teacher is marked by a sort of awkwardness and lack of experience with effective self-assertion or adequate solution of conflicts.

Evidence-Based Social Skills Training for Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders: The UCLA PEERS Program

The present study examines the efficacy and durability of the PEERS Program, a parent-assisted social skills group intervention for high-functioning adolescents with ASD. Results indicate that teens receiving PEERS significantly improved their social skills knowledge, social responsiveness, and overall social skills in the areas of social communication, social cognition, social awareness, social motivation, assertion, cooperation, and responsibility, while decreasing autistic mannerisms and increasing the frequency of peer interactions. Independent teacher ratings revealed significant improvement in social skills and assertion from pre-test to follow-up assessment. Examination of durability of improvement revealed maintenance of gains in nearly all domains with additional treatment gains at a 14-week follow-up assessment.
