The Communicative Participation Item Bank-Gender-Diverse Version: Item Bank Calibration and Short Form.

The purpose of this study was to calibrate an item set for a new version of the Communicative Participation Item Bank (CPIB) specifically for use with gender-diverse clients. This new version contains a new item stem as well as other minor wording changes from the original CPIB in order to be acceptable to gender-diverse respondents. Survey data on 47 candidate items were collected from 434 transgender individuals: 219 assigned female at birth (AFAB) and 215 assigned male at birth (AMAB). Item response theory analyses included evaluation of unidimensionality, local dependence, fit to a graded response model, and differential item functioning (DIF) between AFAB and AMAB respondents. The original set of 47 items was unidimensional, but 16 items were removed due to local dependence, resulting in a final item bank of 31 items. There was no evidence of DIF between AFAB and AMAB participants. Reliability of the full item bank is good (i.e., > 0.8) between T scores of 20 and 76 and high (i.e., > 0.9) between T scores of 20 and 68. The short form had good reliability (i.e., > 0.8) between T scores of 24 and 64. The Communicative Participation Item Bank-Gender-Diverse (CPIB-GD) version provides a new option for person-reported outcome measurement with gender-diverse clients. Clinicians are cautioned to use only the new CPIB-GD with gender-diverse clients, and not the original CPIB due to unacceptable wording in the original version for this population. The original CPIB remains valid and appropriate for the populations for which it was developed. https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24993309.

Relation of Speech-Language Profile and Communication Modality to Participation of Children With Cerebral Palsy.

This study aimed to examine the contribution of speech motor impairment (SMI), language impairment, and communication modality to communicative and overall participation outcomes in school-age children with cerebral palsy (CP). Eighty-one caregivers of children with CP provided information about their child's speech and language skills, communication modality, and participation through a web-based survey. Caregiver responses to two validated scales were used to quantify children's communicative participation and overall participation. Children were classified into four speech-language profile groups and three communication modality groups for comparison, based on caregiver-reported information regarding their child's communication skills. Children with CP who had co-occurring SMI and language impairment had significantly lower levels of communicative participation and involvement in activities overall, compared to children with SMI alone. Among children with SMI, augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) use was associated with greater overall frequency of participation and involvement in life activities. Children with CP who have both SMI and language impairment and those who are nonspeaking communicators should be prioritized early for communication interventions focused on maximizing participation, including consideration of AAC.

Open access to scientific resources of institutional repositories of Ukrainian higher educational institutions for information and library direction

The purpose of the article is to analyse the level of providing open access to scientific resources in Ukrainian higher education institutions’ institutional repositories for information and library direction. The research methodology is based on general scientific and special cognition methods, including analysis, synthesis, monitoring and comparison.

Discursive management of patients’ disagreement with doctors’ recommendations in Nigerian hospital visits

Patients’ disagreement with doctors’ treatment recommendations, which receives participatory or non-participatory attention from the consultative parties, constitutes a major discursive issue in clinical encounters. However, the literature on medical discourse has demonstrated more concentration on the participatory than the non-participatory dimension of the encounters. This discursive representation does not adequately capture the consultative encounters in Nigeria where both situations obtain but where none has been significantly studied, leaving a lacuna in the understanding of conflict management in the hospitals. An analysis of 25 purposively sampled doctor-patient interactions in Southwestern Nigerian hospitals was undertaken with theoretical insights from the notion of activity type, common ground models and conversation analysis. Findings indicate that two types of actions are identified in treatment-related indirect disagreement in Nigerian clinical encounters: participatory and non-participatory action. Participatory orientations to indirect disagreement are contextualised in joint therapeutic efficacy or institutional convenience; non-participatory orientations in the same disagreement type are situated in salient emergency. The resulting negotiation, or lack of it, reveals clinical power dynamics, and interpenetrating evocations of the voice of medicine and the voice of the life world in paternalistic and humanistic contexts; and consequently partial or inexistent patient satisfaction. The paper concludes that participatory communication and strategic deployment of humanistic and paternalistic clinical communicative approaches are capable of producing satisfactory consultative encounters in Nigerian hospital visits.

Participatory Communication for Sustainable Rural Livelihoods : Insights from Matatiele Local Municipality

Traditional top-down approaches exclude communities from participating in policy design and decision-making, while existing communication models are inadequate in addressing communication and service delivery challenges in rural municipalities. And Matatiele Local Municipality (MLM) is no exception. This study is focusing on Matatiele Local Municipality’s use of participatory communication (PC) processes in line with democratic principles and their impact on service delivery. It explores the communication practices, the nexus between good governance and participatory communication and identifies approaches towards participatory communication in rural Matatiele. From an interpretivism paradigm, the study employed a qualitative research method that permit a focused examination of nineteen purposively selected participants. Data retrieved from the semi-structured interview and from secondary sources was analysed thematically and narratively. Findings indicate that participatory communication is not uniformly applied across all areas within MLM jurisdiction. Infrastructure deficits, service delivery challenges and issues related to decentralisation are also identified. The study concludes that traditional authorities play a significant yet overlooked role in democratic development at the local level. Recommendations include an emphasis on the reassessment of the role citizens play in the decision-making process to enhance their meaningful involvement and empowerment in the governance process beyond participation by consultation. Therefore, participatory communication practices beyond establishing clear feedback mechanisms, enhancing responsiveness to community concerns, and improving citizens’ influence on final decisions can promote mutual understanding and cocreation of content that could enhance citizens’ livelihoods.

Analysis of the communication strategy of short videos on “Three Rural Issues” under the new media perspective

Abstract With the rising number of “three rural” short videos, various problems faced in the process of increasing their dissemination influence have gradually come to the fore. This paper proposes a multivariate linear regression model based on the dissemination of “three rural” short videos. Determine the research problem, select the three most significant fan numbers of governmental TikTok numbers of the short video platform as the research object, and the author through the set of searchers, analysts, and other crawler software to obtain the research of the initial data. The purpose of the study was to determine the dependent variable and dependent variable. At the same time, the initial data of the study was tested for reliability, and multiple linear regression was used to empirically analyze the communication of short videos of three rural areas from the new media perspective. The results show that narrative style is significant (p<0.01) for communication effect (0.0015**), communication breadth (0.0018**), communication identity (0.0011**), and communication participation (0.0007**), indicating that different narrative styles have differences in communication effect, communication breadth, communication identity, and communication participation. The regression coefficients of non-presenter narratives in the three dimensions of communication breadth, communication identity, and communication participation are −1.213 (p<0.05), −1.336 (p<0.01), and −1.623 (p<0.01), all of which have a significant negative impact on non-participatory narratives. The findings of this paper have particular theoretical significance. They can provide empirical support for the study of the factors influencing the communication effects of short videos in agriculture-related and other categories.

Книга як елемент соціальної комунікації в умовах російсько-української війни

The article* analyzes the role of books in social communication that is conducted at the interstate level at the wartime, taking as an example the humanitarian project "Ukrainian Bookshelf" initiated by Olena Zelenska, the First Lady of Ukraine. The aim of the article is to describe a book as a social-communicative phenomenon, outline how social communication occurs at the interstate level, and to characterize the elements of such communication according to Lasswell's model of communication. The article examines the elements and participants of communication about library projects, describing its main features at the institutional level. The project "Ukrainian Bookshelf" provides convincing data for the research as it has collected over 47,000 books in Ukrainian and translations and 190 Ukrainian bookshelves have been opened in 46 countries worldwide. Statistical data are provided for 22 countries where Ukrainians have been forced to relocate due to Russian aggression. The article examines the motivation of the Ukrainian state to deploy and support communication about Ukrainian literature in the situation when it faces existential challenges. The article describes the communicator and two types of communication recipients, namely foreign political and intellectual elites as well as millions of Ukrainian citizens, mostly women and children, who have become refugees. It is proved that the book becomes a channel of communication and its message. Ukrainian experience shows that books collection, organization of libraries, and arrangement of bookshelves can be the result of private and volunteer initiatives. Shelves are created not only in national and university libraries but also in places frequently visited by Ukrainians: cafes, information centers, temporary accommodation facilities for refugees, language courses, integration programs, private enterprises, and cultural and community spaces. It is assumed that humanitarian literary and library projects can become educational activism, offer readers a reflection on war and peace, and contribute to the formation and strengthening of the nation unity.

Функционирование сложноподчинённых предложений с изъяснительными придаточными в современном удмуртском языке (на материале публицистических текстов)

the article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the functioning of complex sentences with explanatory subordinate clausesin Udmurt newspaper texts of the second half of the XX– the beginning of the XXI centuries. Objective: to identify the functioning of complex sentences expressing explanatory relations in Udmurt journalism. Research materials: journalistic texts of the newspapers “Sovetskoy Udmurtia” (1950–1959s) and “Udmurt Dunne” (2000–2017s). Results and novelty of the research: the scientific novelty of the research lies in the fact that for the first time on the material of a journalistic text, the peculiarities of the functioning of explanatory sentences of the Udmurt language were studied: their frequency of use, synonymous constructions, the role of extralinguistic factors in the use of the studied types of a complex sentence in a newspaper article. As a result of the research, it was revealed that there are following types of complex sentences with explanatory subordinate clausesin the journalistic text of the Udmurt language: with subordinate conjunctions (shuysa ‘what, that’, budto (budto ke) ‘as if, as though’, with particles -a, meda, -a meda ‘whether’); with connectives (kin ‘who’; ma (mar) ‘what’; maly (marly) ‘why, with what purpose’; kyzy ‘how’, etc.); with connectives and correlatives (mae... soe ‘ that... what’; mar... soe ‘that... what’; sycheze... kudze ‘is like that... what’). Among them, complex explanatory sentences with connectives dominate (53,7%), in second place are complex sentences with explanatory subordinate clauses, the predicative parts of which are combined by subordinate conjunctions (46%). The phenomenon of syntactic synonymy is represented by transformation of complex explanatory sentences into conjunctionless complex sentences, into simple sentences with phrases with or without postpositions. The absence of the shuysa conjunction in the postposition of the subordinate clause and the replacement of this conjunction with the modal word pe were also revealed. The research revealed the prevalence of such synonymous phenomena as the replacement of subordinate clauses by verbal phrase without postpositions (34,6%), the loss of the conjunction shuysa (27,7%) and the replacement by postposition verbal phrase (26,2%). Unlike oral speech, written speech is characterized by the possibility of making changes by other participants of communication

АВТОКОММУНИКАЦИЯ КАК КРИТИКА СОВРЕМЕННОГО ФИЛОСОФСКОГО ПСИХОАНАЛИЗА

Contemporary philosophical psychoanalysis is increasingly turning to mythological stories in order to explain the phenomenon of autocommunication as a constant loss of self and encounter with self. The relevance of the article is determined by the complex superimposition of such mythological plots, requiring the involvement of certain interdisciplinary instruments of analysis in philosophical research. In the Lacanian tradition of psychoanalysis, we suggest that the story of Eurydice serves to explain Dora’s case and substantiates the autocommunicative core of experience. This plot allowed us to criticize both positivist and economic (investment, fetishism) aspects of classical psychoanalysis and to show the epistemological potential of autocommunication as overcoming the totality of the uncanny and returning «to one’s home». The aim of the article is to investigate the epistemological potential of autocommunication, to which psychoanalysis gives a narrative dimension, and the modern philosophy of the self and the alien – an axiological meaning; the task is to clarify, using the example of the newest psychoanalysis’ work with the uncanny, the limits of autocommunication as a mechanism of both seduction (Sirens) and the return of all participants of future communication to themselves (their own mind). The main method of the study was a metacritique of psychoanalysis from the perspective of general notions of the structure of experience and encounter with the other across generations. The main results of the study are that, contrary to the models of the uncanny as fear of encountering oneself or one’s place in the world, another understanding of the uncanny is possible as a choice that all people face in the continuation of the human race. In this case, the happiness of continuation of the species or creative self-realization overcomes the initial impulses of creative temptations, turning reasoning alone with oneself into a mirror of communication with others that has already taken place. The newness consists in the fact that the paper solved the main contradiction of the theory of autocommunication, which is divided into two parts: the illusion of the desire to communicate and the imperative encounter with one’s speech as a stranger, creating a situation of joint communication. It has been shown that, contrary to the common view in philosophy, this joint communication is socially determined and not at all an extension of the internal topology or structure of thought. The contradiction can be resolved by adopting the concept of «the gift of time» (Derrida), which overcomes the antinomy of exchange and gift. Directions for further research on the basis of this work imply the development of a consistent theory of autocommunication that does not reduce it to individual cases of finding the self or postulating the other and that takes into account the social framework of any communication.

АКАДЕМИЧЕСКАЯ МУЗЫКА ХХ – ПЕРВОЙ ЧЕТВЕРТИ ХХI ВЕКА: НА ПУТИ К ОСВОЕНИЮ

In the musical environment of philharmonic concert venues and musical educational institutions, the compositions of past centuries prevail over the music of modern styles and trends. This article discusses a number of issues related to the causes of this imbalance and analyses its impact on the formation of the repertoire preferences of the audience and the development of musical thinking of the admirers of academic music. In addition, the author brings up for professional discussion the topic of the responsibility of performing musicians for the formation of a sound environment that plays a decisive role in shaping public thinking. The article raises a delicate topic of evaluating the actions of some representatives of the musical and educational community who claim a monopoly of absolute truth regarding which styles and trends in modern music are worthy of being performed in the “temple of art” and which are not. When identifying the reasons for the current attitude of performing musicians towards the work of modern composers, the author of the article, based on the provisions of information theory, suggests considering a musical work both as a result of the composer’s creative activity and as an example of creating an information message for society. This approach allows drawing performers’ attention to the need for mastering the modern musical language, whose synthetic sign system is uniform for all participants in musical communication: the composer, the performer and the audience. The proposals for addressing this important problem are outlined in the final part of the article.

Pragmatics of Diplomatic Speeches Delivered in UN's Security Council in 2023: systemic characteristics

The article examines the system of pragmatic intentions of diplomatic participants in their speeches during the meetings of the UN Security Council in 2023. As a result, this research contributes to a better understanding and identification of the speaker's intentions in their diplomatic speech, and participation in discussions after the main speech. It has been established that declarative and referential intentions have the highest frequency in 2023, which indicates the desire of participants in diplomatic communication to clearly state their position and reduce the ambiguity in interpretation. Directive intentions are rarely used, which is explained by diplomatic ethics. Also, it has been proposed a hierarchy of pragmatic intentions according to the universal model of open systems. The relevance of the research is determined by the need to improve communicative interactions and, as a result, to improve negotiations, making the most optimal decisions, and adopting resolutions.

ДИСКУРС ПРОТИВОСТОЯНИЯ В ПОЛИКОДОВЫХ ТЕКСТАХ СОВРЕМЕННЫХ МЕДИА

The article presents the methods of communicative influence on recipients. A number of issues are considered, in which the methods of communication impact on recipients through media platforms are indicated. Polycode text in media platforms of different formats appears in the form of sensationalism, which is accompanied by a corresponding sound row and a picture. The aim of the work is to consider the communicative impact in the discourse of sensationalism of some media. Traditional and new medas enclose recipients in a communication framework (frames), thanks to which a picture of the world is formed, reflected in the media. Both traditional and new media served as materials for the consideration of the issue presented in the article. Of particular note is the polycode text presented in visual media, since such areas suggest a variety of ways to influence recipients with the help of music, frame changes, and the personality of the communicator. The methodological basis is the idea of the phenomenon of sensationalism discourse, which combines the semiotic aspect of the study of discourse. One of the important components in this kind of honey is the suggestive component, represented in the form of communication codes of a polycode text. The polycode text allows you to influence recipients and thus form their picture of the world. The discourse of modern media platforms is built on a culture of confrontation with each other, since new media touch on topics and often respond to them in a communicative way. New media appear in the form of a huge number of opinions due to the possibility of platforms in the utterance of each participant of communication, which forms a discourse of sensationalism.

RESEARCH OF COMMUNICATION: CULTURAL-PHILOSOPHICAL CONTEXT

In this article the author reveals the specifics of axiological approach to modern problems of communication with the help of fundamental philosophical theories analysis. In the center of the study are such concepts as socio-philosophical reflection, intersubjectivity, alienation, personalism and ideal communicative community. These concepts have become the starting points of 20th century philosophy in the study of human being’s existential nature. The moral priorities of the philosophical theories’ founders were aimed against the monological concept of communication, the use of human being and various manipulative techniques directed solely for profit. According to the philosophers, the value basis of communication is in the process of building a true dialogue, where each of its participants acquires an ideal relationship and comes to an understanding of the other. The theories that contribute to the return of man to his true moral purpose are becoming particularly relevant in connection with the cultural world’s unification, the globalization process, and the humiliation of an individual as an object of virtue. The construction of an ideal communicative group becomes possible when the participants of communication overcome their own subjective attitudes and create mutual rational motivation. The considered theories call for such universal human values as love, care, respect, honesty, freedom, justice, spirituality, truth, and humanity. According to the philosophers, appeal to these values in the process of communication can lead a person out of the widespread alienation and unlock the destructive existential circle of modern human being, constructed of vices.

Community Empowerment through Processed Moringa cultivation, Production and Marketing

In essence, community empowerment is the main result of the community empowerment process. Local potential is social capital in increasing community empowerment. Has the community empowerment carried out by the Keloris community in using Moringa as a healthy processed product had a positive impact on community empowerment? Through the research focus of empowering, sustainability, technology approach, researchers analyzed the empowerment process in the form of moringa cultivation, moringa production, production partners and distribution partners, as well as factors that influence empowerment activities. Through a participatory communication approach, it provides space for interaction between Keloris and the community in realizing empowerment activities. This research aims to analyze the role of moringa in empowering the community of Ngawenomboh Village, Kunduran District, Blora Regency, Central Java in using moringa as a healthy processed product, as well as what the factors behind it are. Using a social facts paradigm approach reveals in-depth phenomena in a qualitative descriptive manner by exploring data through in-depth interviews and observations with information sources from both the Keloris community and other participants. This research resulted in the role of the moringa community in empowering the community to use moringa as a healthy processed product. It has created empowerment, independence, community entrepreneurship even though sustainability obstacles are caused by community mindset, keloris commitment, technological adaptation and stakeholder support. In general, community empowerment activities are able to bring positive benefits in the form of awareness of the processing and use of moringa to provide economic value for family nutrition. This research contributes to a model for empowering the use of moringa based on the InLine System, namely a nutritional locking method that guarantees the quality of moringa

Participation in Location-Based News-Apps: Deriving Motivational Factors from Volunteer Work

Traditional, predominantly print-based, media companies with a local or regional focus have been struggling for years with the consequences of increasing digitalization and the associated rise of social media offerings. For traditional media, this means fewer readers, less circulation, decreasing advertising revenue in the context of the advertising circulation spiral and further concentration processes in the industry. Current research clearly indicates that participatory forms of content creation can provide the urgently needed basis for necessary business model innovation in journalism due to their potential to further expand the limited scope of journalistic offerings provided by conventional media and thus contribute to the future viability of local media offerings. However, users themselves are usually not given the opportunity to become communicators in their local environment. A key question arising is what is necessary to successfully and sustainably implement participatory communication offerings in the media industry? This article aims to identify factors influencing the willingness to participate in (local) news applications. For this purpose, we interviewed people who have been awarded for their voluntary commitment in their local environment. The objective is to find out what motivates these people with high intrinsic motivation to participate. The results show that a network character, non-monetary reward systems and the possibility of recruiting further members (in this case users) can serve as motivating factors for active participation in (local) news applications. The article also highlights the interplay between volunteering and participatory journalism, which offers plenty of potential, especially on a digital level.
