Phenomenon Of Communication Research Articles

MOTIVASI MEMBAGIKAN KONTEN TANAMAN HIAS DI SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

Covid-19 is a pandemic that acts as a catalyst for drastic lifestyle change for people around the world. Measures to limit the spread of the disease causes majority of Indonesians to work and study at home. This spurs the growth of social networking sites (SNS) usage. Stay-at-home order also gives rise to the popularity of ornamental plant collecting. The combination of the two activities is evident in the phenomena of posting contents about ornamental plant collection in SNS. According to uses gratification perspective, new communication technologies and the subsequent activities they facilitate function to satisfy the needs of the audiences. This research aims to explore the motivation typologies that are related to posting ornamental plant contents on SNS. Qualitative data was collected from 5 informants based on grounded theory procedures. Through semi-structured interview, three types of typologies were found. The first is classic typology that includes entertainment, pastime, identity management, social interaction and knowledge sharing. Second is expanded typology; social influencing and economic motivation. The third is emergent typology that includes sharing positivity. This article serves as a preliminary research that delves into communication phenomena during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is recommended that future research validate the typologies found by performing quantitative studies.

On the issue of choosing optimal ways to overcome crisis phenomena in the field of political communications against the background of large-scale military aggression

The paper examines the choice of optimal ways of overcoming crisis phenomena in the sphere of political communication in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Special attention was paid to the theoretical explanation of the phenomenon of political communication in terms of its scope and practical usefulness. The article analyzes the features of the conduct of an information war by the Russian Federation. The purpose was to investigate the optimal ways of overcoming crisis phenomena (large-scale military aggression) by means of the tool of political communication. The article is based on the use of two types of research methods: general scientific (analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction) and special political (structural-functional, historical, etc.). The obtained results allow us to conclude that, on the basis of the analysis of the Russian-Ukrainian war, communication solutions should be aimed at fulfilling three tasks: neutralizing negative information, editing it and disseminating alternative information. The work of communicators during the war has certain limitations caused by their subordination to the military command. Definitely, the problem of the Russian-Ukrainian war demonstrated the existence of a considerable number of problematic issues in political communication in Ukraine and the world.

The impact of buyer-supplier communication on performance: A contingency and configuration approach

Although communication plays a fundamental role in the collaboration between buyers and suppliers, existing studies have not combined the communication media and content dimensions to analyze the complex communication phenomenon, therefore cannot answer “what to say” and “how to say” between buyers and suppliers to improve performance. This study combines these two dimensions to identify four communication activities between buyers and suppliers, lean media operational communication, lean media plan communication, rich media task communication, and rich media vision communication. We empirically examined the impacts of communication activities and communication patterns on operational and financial performance based on a sample comprising 200 Chinese manufacturers. Using the contingency approach, we found that lean media operational communication and rich media task communication enhance delivery performance, and rich media vision communication decreases delivery performance. Lean media plan communication and rich media task communication promote flexibility performance. Four types of communication indirectly increase financial performance via operational performance. Using the configuration method, we found that different communication patterns perform differently in terms of three types of firm performance. This research pioneers to combine the media and content perspectives to explore communication activities. The combination of contingency and configuration approaches provides a comprehensive angle in investigating communication-performance relationships.

Analisis Campur Kode dan Alih Kode Dalam Program Game Show TWK Season 2 Pada Akun Youtube Narasi

This study is motivated by a code-mixing and code-switching phenomenon in Indonesian society's communication as bilinguals and multilingual. In Indonesian society, the phenomenon of code-mixing and code-switching also occurs on social media platforms, one of which is YouTube. This study analyzes forms of code-mixing and code-switching in Narasi YouTube videos. This research aims to describe (1) the forms of code-mixing and code-switching and (2) factors that cause code-mixing and code-switching in the TWK season 2 video program on Narasi YouTube. This is a qualitative study that identifies the data using descriptive methods. Data collection techniques included observation, listening, and note-taking. The results of this study reveal that there is external code-mixing and switching, as well as internal and external code-switching. In the videos of the TWK season 2 episodes 1–14 on Narasi YouTube, code-mixing is more dominant than code-switching. Factors that affect code-switching and code-mixing to evoke a sense of humor, identification indicators, speaker factors, situations, and topic changes.

FENOMENA KOMUNIKASI KAUM GAY DI ERA DIGITAL

Deviant sexual orientation makes it difficult for gays to interact and communicate like a dominant society, this makes gays need an alternative media in order to interact and communicate with the aim of meeting their social and sexual needs. Gays also use blued applications to meet these needs. This study aims to determine the phenomenon of gay communication on the blued application in the city of Ambon. The theoretical basis used in this research is the theory of social penetration and computer mediated communication (CMC). This research is a qualitative descriptive study with an individual unit of analysis, namely gay people who use the blued application. This study uses data collection techniques in the form of interviews with six resource persons, participatory observation, and documentation. Data analysis techniques used in this study were data reduction, data presentation, conclusion drawing and data triagulation. The results of this study indicate that gay users of the Blued application in Ambon City have different goals and ways when using the application to fulfill their personal needs. gay people also have different special criteria when they start a communication with each other in the application. So it is undeniable that technology-mediated communication is very helpful for gay people to be able to interact and communicate with each other. Although to improve relationships, it must still be done with several other supporting social media platforms in order to create better relationships. Based on the results of the study, mediated communication is very helpful in meeting the needs of gay people, but the communication that exists between gay people face to face is still the final achievement of developing a relationship that has been built for the better.

Influencer as a special type of public opinion leader

The conceptual apparatus of contemporary communicology does not differentiate between the concepts of “opinion leader” and “influencer”. To solve this problem, the author uses a poly-paradigmatic approach using a set of methods: historical and genetic analysis, structural analysis and socio-cultural modelling. As a result of the study, the author offers an author's definition of the concept of “influencer” as a special type of public opinion leader - an independent medium, which spreads its direct influence on the Internet (mainly in social media) through a direct communication channel using new tactics of positioning (the integration of private and public). At the same time, influencer has a significant impact on the target audience, promoting certain ideas (ideological, consumerist, etc.), which ultimately affects the system of norms, values and attitudes of the recipients. The author outlines the limitations of the study and identifies perspective direction related to the need for further substantiation of the above-mentioned media and communication phenomenon. The expediency of addressing the notion of “influencer” from academic positions is shown, and the necessity of its discrete inclusion in the interdisciplinary scientific discourse is substantiated.

Communication and access to healthcare: Experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people managing pain in Queensland, Australia.

Pain management requires a multidisciplinary approach and a collaborative relationship between patient-provider in which communication is crucial. This study examines the communication experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Hospital Liaison Officers (ATSIHLOs), to improve understanding of how pain is managed in and through patient-health professional communication. This qualitative study involved a purposive sample of patients attending three persistent pain clinics and ATSIHLOs working in two hospitals in Queensland, Australia. Focus groups and in-depth interviews explored the communication experiences of patients managing pain and ATSIHLOs supporting patients with pain. This study adopted a descriptive phenomenological methodology, as described by Colaizzi (1978). Relevant statements (patient and ATSIHLOs quotes) about the phenomenon were extracted from the transcripts to formulate meanings. The formulated meanings were subsequently sorted into thematic clusters and then integrated into themes. The themes were then incorporated into a concise description of the phenomenon of communication within pain management. Findings were validated by participants. A total of 21 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander participants were involved in this study. Exploration of the communication experiences of patients and ATSIHLOs revealed overlapping themes of important barriers to and enablers of communication that affected access to care while managing pain. Acknowledging historical and cultural factors were particularly important to build trust between patients and health professionals. Some patients reported feeling stigmatized for identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander, while others were reluctant to disclose their background for fear of not having the same opportunity for treatment. Differences in the expression of pain and the difficulty to use standard pain measurement scales were identified. Communication was described as more than the content delivered, it is visual and emotional expressed through body language, voice intonation, language and the speed of the conversation. Communication can significantly affect access to pain management services. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander patients highlighted the burden of emotional pain caused by historical factors, negative stereotypes and the fear of discrimination. Pain management services and their health professionals need to acknowledge how these factors impact patients trust and care.

Facilitative Interaction as the Mechanism of Actualization of «Me-Real» and «Me-Ideal» of a Personality

the purpose of our research is to denote the principles of facilitative inte-raction in the process of interpersonal communication at lessons, to show the facilitative aspects of students’ autonomy, to describe facilitation as a pheno-menon of interpersonal communication, to display the nature and genesis of facilitative interaction according to our own empirical researches, to prove that facilitative interaction is the mechanism of actualization of “Me-real” and “Me-ideal” of a personality.methods of the research. The following theoretical methods of the research were used to solve the tasks formulated in the article: a categorical method, struc-tural and functional methods, the methods of the analysis, systematization, model-ing, generalization. The pilot study as an empirical method was used in the study.the results of the research. So, we’d like to show that facilitation is a change in the students’ performance during a contact with the teacher or other students. Even the passive presence of the teacher in the classroom greatly acti-vates the students, directs their activity in the correct direction, stabilizes it out-side of purposeful actions on the part of the teacher. However, the phenomenon of facilitation has considerable influence only if the teacher is authoritative, re-ferential, recognized. Then, as a result of psychological and pedagogical intera-ction, various psychological new formations of a personal and interpersonal na-ture are arisen, which are usually called “changes” or “phenomena”.conclusions. We proved that one of the significant constructive pheno mena of facilitative interaction is a psychological status of the individual, without the acquisition of which there cannot be a process of active, consistent progressive development and self-development of the individual. Psychological status cha-racterizes not only the student’s real place in the system of interpersonal re-lationships, but also the position in a class, in family, peer groups. They also depend on the situation how he/she attributes to himself/herself. The need to build oneself as a personality, to get self-improvement, etc. does not arise spon-taneously – it is formed in the process of facilitative interaction. It is psychologi-cal and pedagogical influences which allow the student to realize the difference between “Me-real” and “Me-ideal”, without which personal development can-not take place.

The concept of “artistic system” in visual culture and the movie poster as a phenomenon of social and cultural communication: Before posing a problem

In the article, using the example of studying a movie poster for a non-fiction movie, it is proposed to pose the problem (in general) of forming an artistic system of social and cultural communication as a basic model of creating an expressive visual and meaningful message. It is shown that the flow of visual information (“street art”) within a short period of time gains popularity, attracts attention, and is able to influence the formation of certain features of a person’s daily and artistic outlook. Embodied mainly in the form of a poster, which with the help of digital technologies acquires new features of visual impact, this information attracts a certain audience with intriguing images, witty messages and fresh visual ideas in the chain: “poster — consumer”, “consumer — society”. Therefore, the purpose of the study is to reveal an approach to the formation of a holistic view of the nature and theoretical foundations of the formation of advertising posters for non-fiction films in the context of modern visual culture considering their social and cultural role. The research is based on the methodological principles of the general humanitarian analytical-synthetic approach to clarifying the interaction between the visual and socio-cultural, between the objective form and its subjective perception.

Visibility agents: Organizing transparency in the digital era

Transparency is a complex and multifaceted communication phenomenon. In the current environment, demands for organizational transparency now come from a wide range of entities we term visibility agents, ranging from nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and global networks, on one hand, to activist coalitions and automated surveillance agents, on the other. We develop a framework to conceive of such visibility agents and the range of transparency demands that they make in the context of environmental issues, positing that visibility agents significantly shape and diversify transparency practices. We identify four major relationships between visibility agents and organizations— inquisitorial, adversarial, associative, and advocative—which are associated with specific kinds of transparency demands, requests, and imperatives: accountability, monitoring, disclosure, and secrecy. We illustrate each set of relationships with examples of environmental reporting practices, one of the most prominent areas of transparency management. Implications for both theory and research on transparency are discussed.

TRANSITION TO FIRST-NAME BASIS AS DEMOCRATIZATION IN POLISH LANGUAGE: ANALYSIS OF QUESTIONNAIRE SURVEY RESPONSES
 The topic of this paper is transition to first-name basis (przejście na ty) in Polish, which one of the most important research topics in the field of Polish linguistic politeness. The transition to first-name basis can be seen as a phenomenon of democratization in language, because, as some of the Polish linguists describe, it creates a sense of equality, which is one of the basic elements of democracy. The results of a multi-stage survey proved that, in general, Polish people positively evaluate the contemporary tendency of faster transition to first-name basis. The analysis of the comments from the questionnaire survey showed that many people consider this tendency as a positive phenomenon in linguistic communication and treat it as an effective way of reducing the unnecessary distance which exists between interlocutors. However, it is worth keeping in mind that there are also negative effects of an inconsiderate decision to move to first-name basis, as mentioned by some of the survey respondents. This study has shown that the combination of several methods allows researchers to take a fresh perspective on the dynamic process of democratization in language and its perception among the users of a given language.

Enkele teoretiese en metodologiese implikasies van die sisteembenadering in die Kommunikasiekunde

A SYSTEMS approach to the phenomenon of communication implies in many important respects a break with the traditional assumptions and principles of communication theories and research methodologies. There is increasing dissatisfaction among communicologists with the influence of positivism (and respectively reductionism) in Communication Science as in the case of the covering law model. Some of the most important theoretical implications such as holism, selfregulation, hierargical organization, adaptation and organized complexity are briefly discussed. Attention is also given to methodological implications of concepts such as information, message. group, rules and meaning.

Public Relations

RELATIONS has, for reasons not that obvious, been neglected in terms of theoretical conceptualization in the study of communication phenomena. Though the field has seen a number of text books and articles written on public relations, attempts to put public relations in conceptual theoretical perspectives have been limited. The need therefore is to elevate the study of public relations to higher theoretical levels, which could also benefit industry eventually. In this article Lewin's field theory, and in particular his topology of the inner per- son has been put forward as a focus domain of how to conceptualize public relations in an organizational context. Public relations is playing the mediating role between individual and individual, organization and individual as well as organization and organization. Lewin's field theory, as such, provides the communicologist with exploratory alter- natives to the study of public relations.

Nonverbal Communication Through Visual Storytelling of Leaving Home Animated Films

This study aims to describe visual storytelling in the animated film Leaving Home as a nonverbal communication medium that provides education to the audience. The power of nonverbal communication as a form of visual storytelling in the animated film Leaving Home is the researcher's motive to examine how a nonverbal animation can be interpreted universally. The nonverbal communication of the animated film Leaving Home embodies writing into moving images. An animator must have the ability to visual storytelling to make the imagination in telling stories (synopsis-text) into scripts (visual-written). An animator, also an animation film creator, must understand the rules of scriptwriting to communicate the message implied in his work. An excellent visual understanding will help an animator visualize the picture's language into an exciting story. The technique of conveying visual storytelling stories in animation sometimes finds obstacles in understanding the story due to improper use of visual language. This research uses qualitative methods to uncover the phenomenon of nonverbal communication through visual storytelling in the animated film Leaving Home to explain in more detail. The results showed that nonverbal communication is omnipresent, including nonverbal aspects of each communicative action. In the interactions seen in the story of the animated film Leaving Home, all its nonverbal channels come into play. This study also represents the imagination visualized in animated films as more hyperbolic. After conducting a study of nonverbal visual storytelling communication in the animated film Leaving Home, it can be concluded that films with animation techniques can be presented with visual storytelling packaged in an artistic visual language. So visual storytelling can be a literacy animation technique in conveying information and opening up opportunities for animation creators to communicate nonverbally to the audience.

Speech Culture at the beginning of the XXI Century in the context of New Media Phenomenon

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the formation of speech culture at the current stage of the development of society through the prism of the phenomenon of new media. Research methodology. Research methods are represented by a combination of various research approaches – an activity and axiological approach to the study of prayer culture in its connection with the language culture of new media and speech practices of the modern media space; system approach, which is implemented in the unity of structural-functional and elemental analysis. The method of terminological analysis was applied to clarify the content and scope of the concept of "new media"; methods of systemic analysis and synthesis, which contributed to clarifying the role and place of new media in modern society; the typological method contributed to the identification of influencing factors on the transformation of speech culture in new media and the determination of the features of this process. Scientific novelty. The transformational processes of speech culture in the context of the formation and popularisation of new media have been studied; the concept of "new media" has been clarified and supplemented; mediatisation as a process of influence of new media on the development of speech culture has been specified; the peculiarities of speech culture formation in the modern information society through the prism of new media as a unique information and communication phenomenon of the 21st century have been revealed; it has been found out that in the context of the specifics of the media space of the 21st century new media offer a variety of alternative approaches to any cultural practice, including broadcasting. Conclusions. The active development and large-scale spread of innovative means of communication based on the use of computer technologies significantly influence the strengthening of communication processes, activating changes directly in the language of communication. The development of information and communication technologies at the beginning of the 21st century. largely determines the direction of development of the modern language of communication and the transformational processes of speech culture. The spread of new media, which is directly related to innovative interactive information technologies controlled directly by users, along with changes in the forms and types of communication, led to transformational processes of speech culture. Under the influence of new media, the norms of speech culture are changing, which leads to a decrease in the quality of language culture. Modern media space, in contrast to traditional media of the 20th century – radio, television and print media – cannot be characterised as a model and standard of speech culture due to the presence in media texts of grammatical and spelling errors, elements of clericalism, outdated clichés, limited vocabulary and reluctance to use synonyms, the presence of street lexicon, barbarism, elements of colloquial language, activation spread of foreign vocabulary, illiterate construction of phrases, and incorrect use of words in a stable word combination. The language of new media is a unique organism that exists and develops according to its own rules. Non-compliance with the norms of speech culture, stylistics, violation of spelling rules, deliberate distortion of vocabulary, the use of foreign vocabulary, increased use of peculiar vulgar, and sometimes exaggerated mincing jargon are common in the Internet space. In this context, the promotion of the native language, the struggle for its purity and compliance with the rules, regardless of the field in which it is used, is of particular importance. Given the blurring of boundaries between real and virtual communication on the Internet, a high speech culture should become an example to follow.
 Key words: speech culture, new media, Internet, media space, mediatisation.

Molecular regulation of conditioning film formation and quorum quenching in sulfate reducing bacteria.

Sensing surface topography, an upsurge of signaling biomolecules, and upholding cellular homeostasis are the rate-limiting spatio-temporal events in microbial attachment and biofilm formation. Initially, a set of highly specialized proteins, viz. conditioning protein, directs the irreversible attachment of the microbes. Later signaling molecules, viz. autoinducer, take over the cellular communication phenomenon, resulting in a mature microbial biofilm. The mandatory release of conditioning proteins and autoinducers corroborated the existence of two independent mechanisms operating sequentially for biofilm development. However, both these mechanisms are significantly affected by the availability of the cofactor, e.g., Copper (Cu). Generally, the Cu concentration beyond threshold levels is detrimental to the anaerobes except for a few species of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). Remarkably SRB has developed intricate ways to resist and thrive in the presence of Cu by activating numerous genes responsible for modifying the presence of more toxic Cu(I) to Cu(II) within the periplasm, followed by their export through the outer membrane. Therefore, the determinants of Cu toxicity, sequestration, and transportation are reconnoitered for their contribution towards microbial adaptations and biofilm formation. The mechanistic details revealing Cu as a quorum quencher (QQ) are provided in addition to the three pathways involved in the dissolution of cellular communications. This review articulates the Machine Learning based data curing and data processing for designing novel anti-biofilm peptides and for an in-depth understanding of QQ mechanisms. A pioneering data set has been mined and presented on the functional properties of the QQ homolog in Oleidesulfovibrio alaskensis G20 and residues regulating the multicopper oxidase properties in SRB.

A Comparative Analysis of Pragmatics in the Perspective of Intercultural Communication

As an international Chinese language teacher who will go overseas for internship, it is very necessary to master the discourse rules in different cultural backgrounds, which plays a crucial role in the smooth implementation of intercultural communication. In this paper, through the author's four personal experiences of cross-cultural communication, as four cases of analyzing the discourse rules of cross-cultural communication, we will combine the relevant discourse rules and authoritative communication theories, such as Grice's principle of conversational cooperation, Edward-T-Hall's theory of high-context and low-context culture, Leech's principle of politeness, Brown and Levinson's theory of face, and so on, to analyze the discourse rules of appellative speech, introduction speech, greeting speech, etc. The differences in language terms such as appellative speech, introductory speech, greeting speech, invitation speech, request speech, compliment speech, and thank you speech are compared and explained, and the cultural conflicts and cultural communication phenomena involved are specifically analyzed.

How can we strengthen the integration of findings in communication sciences?

Individual studies in the empirical social sciences have limited explanatory power, as they focus on particular aspects of the overarching objects of research. To explain complex communicative phenomena or describe multistep processes, individual findings need to be combined. Often, however, such an integration does not occur, and opportunities to expand the explanatory power of existing results beyond their immediate scope remain unexploited. Drawing from examples in practical research, this paper describes six metatheoretical, methodological, and context factors that explain why a higher degree of co-creation and integration remains unrealized. A good understanding of these factors can easily be translated into measures that can achieve more integration and make our results more impactful. Furthermore, the illustration of the six factors indicates where integrable findings can be found in this fragmented research landscape. The resulting recommendations are made in the hope that integrative work will be upgraded and further established as a methodological niche in the generation of insights.
