The Role of Communication in Behavioral Freedom During the Coordination Process of An Organization

Communication is the means to clarify expectations and to coordinate the tasks responsibility that allow the people to achieve the objectives of the organization to be more efficient and effective. Communication is the exchange of information between the sender and the receiver in which the process of information and the meaning of the message is delivered well. Most of the tasks responsibility that is done by a team works on interdependent and mutually connected to each other of the organization’s member. Therefore, the effectiveness of communication plays an important role in determining whether there is a profit or loss in the process of communication. An organization is a group of people who work in interdependence through communication. In organizational activity, there is the process of delivering and receiving the messages to run the organization’s performance. It means that the role of communication is very influential in behavioral freedom during the coordination process of an organization. This research deals with the notion of communication, communication function, model of communication, communication barriers, and how to improve the communication process. The purpose of this research was to know and to describe the role of communication in behavioral freedom during the coordination process of an organization. This research was a descriptive research. The results of this research showed that the development behavioral freedom during the coordination process of an organization needed to be dynamic during the working performance to achieve the goal; one of them was to understand and perform the communication process properly. Some of the obstacles in communication, according to Robbins and Judge, were the process of filtering, selective perception, information overload, emotions, language, silence, communication apprehension, gender differences, etc. Those obstacles could be solved by interpersonal communication, strategies and skills to communicate described in this paper, so that the organization could run well reaching the desired goal.

S. Sholl’s “Own” and “Alien” Russia

In this paper, within the framework of the linguoculturological approach, the problem of interaction of cultures is studied. In this regard, the conceptual opposition of “own” – “alien” reflects the uniqueness of perception and interpretation of the real world, due to the features of a particular culture. The authors try to restore some fragments of the character of Russia based on the material of the publicistic prose of Suzanne Sholl, the Austrian author of “Russland mit und ohne Seele”. The relevance of the paper is due to the need to overcome obstacles in intercultural communication, to harmonize the positions of people and societies belonging to different cultures. The main methods of research are hermeneutic, cultural-historical, descriptive ones and a continuous sampling method as well. The attitude of the Austrian writer to Russian culture, interpersonal relations, and mental activity of a person is analyzed through the prism of the dichotomy “own” – “alien”. Particular attention is paid to intercultural gaps, which are unique to one nation. Russism reflecting the national cultural specifics of the people refers to this type of lacuna. The analysis of empirical material has shown that the author develops alien cultural elements that cause her various evaluation reactions: surprise, misunderstanding, respect, protest.

Both communication barriers and women's political participation are found in several factors, including cultural barriers, political capital constraints and human resource constraints. The three strategies of women's political communication are carried out in several ways: firstly lobbying, establishing cooperation with various parties and agencies, both communication processes ranging from message selection, media selection and proper selection of communication so that communication strategy becomes effective.

Perception of translation graduates on translation internships, with mixed-methods approach

In recent years an increasing number of institutions have provided translation students with internships and/or placement as part of the curriculum. This paper presents findings from an empirical study in which a mixed-methods approach was employed to examine the perceptions and expectations of translation graduates on internships and to investigate the learning experience of translation graduates who had an internship experience. The findings suggest that internship programs for translation undergraduates should develop students’ translation skills and language skills. Whether or not internships should be paid and be counted towards the grade point average were given the least importance. It was found that “career aspirations” are the most important factor when translation students select an internship agency, followed by “the reputation of the organization”. A discrepancy between classroom learning and workplace practice was revealed, and this poses challenges for translation interns, who attribute the problems they encountered to the fact that the knowledge and skills they gained in university could not fulfil the needs required in the workplace. In addition, they coped with obstacles in workplace communication which are unlikely to be learnt in translation courses. Internships are thus seen to serve as a bridge between classroom knowledge and real-world practice.

Neuromagnetic evaluation of a communication support system for hearing-impaired patients.

Hearing-impaired patients often encounter obstacles in communication. Not all of them wear hearing aids, citing issues with usage difficulty and discomfort in wearing. To overcome these difficulties, a new endeavor was started to improve sound intelligibility from the speaker's side. The present study objectively evaluated an intelligible-hearing (IH) loudspeaker by means of magnetoencephalography. Magnetic counterparts of mismatch negativity (MMNm) to pronunciation ('mi' and 'ni') were recorded and compared when they were transmitted from the IH loudspeaker and from a normal-hearing loudspeaker. On using the IH loudspeaker, the peak latency was found to be significantly shortened. In the case of hearing-impaired participants, marked MMNm responses were observed only when the IH loudspeaker was used. These findings suggest that improving sound intelligibility may be a supportive and rehabilitative approach for hearing-impaired patients.

Reaching Agreement in Quantum Hybrid Networks

We consider a basic quantum hybrid network model consisting of a number of nodes each holding a qubit, for which the aim is to drive the network to a consensus in the sense that all qubits reach a common state. Projective measurements are applied serving as control means, and the measurement results are exchanged among the nodes via classical communication channels. In this way the quantum-opeartion/classical-communication nature of hybrid quantum networks is captured, although coherent states and joint operations are not taken into consideration in order to facilitate a clear and explicit analysis. We show how to carry out centralized optimal path planning for this network with all-to-all classical communications, in which case the problem becomes a stochastic optimal control problem with a continuous action space. To overcome the computation and communication obstacles facing the centralized solutions, we also develop a distributed Pairwise Qubit Projection (PQP) algorithm, where pairs of nodes meet at a given time and respectively perform measurements at their geometric average. We show that the qubit states are driven to a consensus almost surely along the proposed PQP algorithm, and that the expected qubit density operators converge to the average of the network’s initial values.

Research on the Development Trend of English Linguistics from the Perspective of Multi-culture and Cross-cultural Communication

With the continuous development and progress of society, modern society is formed by the multicultural, namely, an important feature of today's society is the diversity of cultures. English language and culture course combines both foreign language and cultural characteristics, which has very strong artistic and theoretical factors. Language is a part of culture, and plays an important role in culture. Language and culture are inseparable, if students do not understand the cultural background of foreign languages, cannot correctly understand and use foreign language. In the process of college English teaching, how to carry out cultural teaching and improve students' cross-cultural communicative competence has become an important topic in English teaching and learning. In order to help students overcome obstacles in intercultural communication and cultivate students' intercultural communicative competence, we should improve the level of college English teaching by integrating culture factors into English teaching. The culture we need to learn is not limited to the culture of the English-speaking countries. The cultural teaching in English teaching requires an all-round import.

Combined transplantation of neural precursor cells and olfactory ensheathing cells for the treatment of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy in children

Combined transplantation of neural precursor cells and olfactory ensheathing cells for the treatment of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy in children Hui Yang,1,* Yu Zhang,1,* Zhaoyan Wang,1 Wei Lu,1 Fang Liu,1 Xin Yu,2 Xiaoyan Zheng,1 Yinxiang Yang,1 Zuo Luan,1 Suqing Qu1 1Department of Pediatrics, 2Department of Neurological Surgery, Navy General Hospital, Beijing, People’s Republic of China *These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is only suitable for early-stage adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD). In this study, we observed the therapeutic efficacy of combined transplantation of neural precursor cells (NPCs) and olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs) on late-stage X-linked ALD in nine children who were admitted in our hospital between June 2009 and January 2014. Related patient information included onset time 3 months to 1 year, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) score 11.02±0.90, and neurologic function score 2–3. All patients received combined transplantation of NPCs and OECs by injection around the lateral angle of the frontotemporal–occipital lesion under MRI guidance. It was found that the visual function, sleep, and communication obstacles were improved significantly without evidence of disease progression in six (66.7%) of the nine patients within 1 month after transplantation. In two of the six patients, the lesions became significantly smaller than before, although their MRI scores remained unchanged significantly. In addition, cell therapy did not induce any irreversible adverse event during the study period, indicating that combined transplantation of NPCs and OECs was safe and reliable, and could improve the clinical manifestations of ALD in children within a short time. Although this cell therapy was not able to halt the progression of the disease 1–3 months after transplantation, it could still be used as an early treatment and provide patients with more opportunities for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, which is the only effective long-term treatment for X-linked ALD at present. The preliminary results from this study suggest that a comprehensive prevention strategy of serial and combined transplantation may improve some functions for ALD patients in the short-term, however, long-term effects need further study. Keywords: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, combined transplantation, neural precursor cells, olfactory ensheathing cells

The Global Software Team: Jugaad Needed

The Global Networks Company (GNC), headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, made its global footprint in India in 1994 by establishing a presence in Bangalore. Although mainly a sales support office, GNC grew name recognition from its contracts with India's government to help build nationwide networks. Not quite 20 years later, GNC decided to further invest in India and tapped a manager from the Boston office, Jim Notrika, to establish and then manage GNC's first global software center in Mumbai. Split between Mumbai and Boston, the project team successfully completed several minor projects, but only months into its first major project, the team was struggling to meet deadlines. Blame was being passed in both directions, and when three talented engineers in Mumbai quit, Notrika makes an emergency trip to Mumbai to better understand the problem.This case describes three common cross-cultural communication obstacles in teams: a preference for direct versus indirect confrontation of problems; a clash of collectivist versus individualistic cultural values related to reporting bad news or giving negative feedback; and different expectations of team leaders based on power-distance values. Excerpt UVA-OB-1054 Rev. Jul. 29, 2015 The Global Software : Jugaad Needed The Global Networks Company (GNC), headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, made its global footprint in India in 1994 by establishing a presence in Bangalore. Although mainly a sales support office, GNC grew name recognition from its contracts with India's government to help build nationwide networks. Not quite 20 years later, GNC decided to further invest in India and tapped a manager from the Boston office, Jim Notrika, to establish and then manage GNC's first global software center in Mumbai. Notrika had been with the firm several years, having worked his way up from software engineer to software center manager—a position he'd held for eight months when he assumed responsibility for the new Mumbai center. His employees were now split between the Boston and Mumbai, and he looked forward to seeing productivity from both locations. Notrika's first set of decisions was about how to structure the Mumbai software center facility, as well as how to coordinate the workflow between Mumbai and Boston. He decided that the Boston group would interface with customers—including all aspects of client engagement from presales to sales to implementation—and the Mumbai group would design and then develop the software. His plan was for the Boston group to meet with clients (all of whom were based in the United States) and then communicate the outcome of the client meetings to the Mumbai group. Allowing for the time zone difference, the Mumbai group would work on the project, communicate its progress, and raise any issues by the start of the next business day back in the United States. . . .

Language as means and as an obstacle of communication. Phenomenological grounds for intercultural understanding

In this article I will establish the concept of a “symbolic system of representation” to make clear how it is possible that humans are not only using the language-based system of representation for cognitive contents. A system of representation should enable us to “think”, i.e. to form and manipulate an idea of a state of affairs or of an event without having the appropriate intuition of them. We believe that we do this mostly in language. My thesis is that there are non-linguistic systems of representation with the same performance. We simultaneously use different systems of representation; the most prominent are language, gestures, feelings, and scenic images. Phenomenological analysis reveals that it is especially fruitful to investigate into the scenic mode of daydreaming as a central form of non-linguistic thinking. By close comparison of non-linguistic systems of representation and non-linguistic communication, their common ground in similarity semantics is revealed. This is the principal basis to begin and maintain intercultural understanding across the borders of national languages.

Legal and Ethical Imperatives for Using Certified Sign Language Interpreters in Health Care Settings: How to "Do No Harm" When "It's (All) Greek" (Sign Language) to You.

Communication obstacles in health care settings adversely impact patient-practitioner interactions by impeding service efficiency, reducing mutual trust and satisfaction, or even endangering health outcomes. When interlocutors are separated by language, interpreters are required. The efficacy of interpreting, however, is constrained not just by interpreters' competence but also by health care providers' facility working with interpreters. Deaf individuals whose preferred form of communication is a signed language often encounter communicative barriers in health care settings. In those environments, signing Deaf people are entitled to equal communicative access via sign language interpreting services according to the Americans with Disabilities Act and Executive Order 13166, the Limited English Proficiency Initiative. Yet, litigation in states across the United States suggests that individual and institutional providers remain uncertain about their legal obligations to provide equal communicative access. This article discusses the legal and ethical imperatives for using professionally certified (vs. ad hoc) sign language interpreters in health care settings. First outlining the legal terrain governing provision of sign language interpreting services, the article then describes different types of "sign language" (e.g., American Sign Language vs. manually coded English) and different forms of "sign language interpreting" (e.g., interpretation vs. transliteration vs. translation; simultaneous vs. consecutive interpreting; individual vs. team interpreting). This is followed by reviews of the formal credentialing process and of specialized forms of sign language interpreting-that is, certified deaf interpreting, trilingual interpreting, and court interpreting. After discussing practical steps for contracting professional sign language interpreters and addressing ethical issues of confidentiality, this article concludes by offering suggestions for working more effectively with Deaf clients via professional sign language interpreters.

Review and Performance Analysis of Position Based Routing in VANETs

Vehicular Ad hoc Networks have gained high popularity for their interesting applications. However, routing in mobile networks is a challenging task and requires specialized routing protocols, which are designed to address mobile environment factors, such as inconsistent connectivity, high mobility, and communication obstacles. In this paper, we present a qualitative comparative study of well-known position based routing protocols for highway and city environment. Moreover, we investigate impact of different forwarding strategies on the behavior of routing protocols using extensive simulations and detailed analysis. The results show that greedy forwarding and improved greedy forwarding outperform directional and predictive forwarding strategies. It is also observed that dynamic junction selection is more suitable for routing in city environment.

Experimental demonstration of multi-dimensional resources integration for service provisioning in cloud radio over fiber network.

Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) becomes a promising scenario to accommodate high-performance services with ubiquitous user coverage and real-time cloud computing in 5G area. However, the radio network, optical network and processing unit cloud have been decoupled from each other, so that their resources are controlled independently. Traditional architecture cannot implement the resource optimization and scheduling for the high-level service guarantee due to the communication obstacle among them with the growing number of mobile internet users. In this paper, we report a study on multi-dimensional resources integration (MDRI) for service provisioning in cloud radio over fiber network (C-RoFN). A resources integrated provisioning (RIP) scheme using an auxiliary graph is introduced based on the proposed architecture. The MDRI can enhance the responsiveness to dynamic end-to-end user demands and globally optimize radio frequency, optical network and processing resources effectively to maximize radio coverage. The feasibility of the proposed architecture is experimentally verified on OpenFlow-based enhanced SDN testbed. The performance of RIP scheme under heavy traffic load scenario is also quantitatively evaluated to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposal based on MDRI architecture in terms of resource utilization, path blocking probability, network cost and path provisioning latency, compared with other provisioning schemes.

Current differences in dental education between Chinese and Western models

Dental education is the foundation of a country's development of dental science. Economic conditions and cultural backgrounds vary across countries; hence, there are some differences in dental education between Chinese and Western models, including the education programmes, licensures, curricula, teaching methods, facilities. These differences may become obstacles for mutual communication and the development of dental education. In the last 5 years, China has introduced several policies and published some standards, such as the residency programmes and Accreditation Standards for Undergraduate Dental Education Programs. These actions aim to improve the current situation of dental education and reduce the gap between Chinese and Western education models. Indeed, some changes have been made. This article provides a brief introduction of the existing differences and changes and can, thus, serve as a reference for educators.
