PERCEPCIÓN DE LA COMUNICACIÓN INTRAPROFESIONAL “A PIE DE CAMA”: NARRATIVA DESDE LA TEORÍA DEL CUIDADO DE JEAN WATSON

Introduction: Jean Watson's theory of caring is committed to holistic care through a helping relationship between patient and caregiver. The "bedside shift report" methodology actively involves the patient in the transfer of information between health professionals, especially in hostile contexts (such as intensive care units) for communication and humanization of care. Objective: to explore the perceptions of patients who participated in the transfer of information at the bedside in an intensive care unit, from Jean Watson's theory of caring. Methodology: narrative analysis of the interviews carried out through the conceptual-theoretical-empirical system (CTES) based on Jean Watson's caring theory. The empirical-rational method was combined through an inductive approach. Results: The four patients interviewed expressed perceptions inherent to the assumptions and care factors of the caring Theory: interpersonal relationship and health promotion (they facilitate trust and empowerment); adequate environment for personal development (improve transparency and satisfaction); patient as the central axis of nursing (increases the effectiveness and safety of care). Conclusions: The importance of including the patient in the transfer of information allows him to be the central axis of her care. This allows you to grow and promote your health, thanks to the environment of trust created and/or the communicative symbiosis between the participants.

HYPERBOLIC EXPRESSIONS AMONG NEWLY MOTHERS IN TEXT-BASED VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION

The present study examined the use of hyperbolic expressions in a text-based virtual communication context, specifically in an Indonesian newly mothers’ online chat room. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze 60 utterances containing hyperbolic expressions taken from the Mom Sharing WhatsApp group. Simak and catat methods were implemented to observe and take notes on the hyperbolic expressions used by the mothers identified based on McCarthy & Carter’s (2004) characterization. The collected data were then categorized into 7 forms of hyperbole proposed by Claridge (2010), and the possible functions behind the use of this figurative language were analyzed qualitatively based on the overall contexts. Results reveal that 6 forms of hyperbole were used in the chat room, namely single-word hyperbole, phrasal hyperbole, clausal hyperbole, numerical hyperbole, the role of superlative, and comparison. Furthermore, the expressions were found to serve various functions, namely to express emotions, to concretize the message and evoke imagination, to create humour, and to establish group identity. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the use of hyperbole in everyday communication.

A Comparative Analysis of Synchronous USART And Asynchronous UART Communication Protocols

In contemporary applications, the integration of the STM32F103ZET6 microcontroller with various peripherals is indispensable, emphasizing the critical role of serial communication in data transmission between the microcontroller and these peripherals. This study delineates the distinctions between Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (USART) and Universal Asynchronous Receiver-Transmitter (UART) within the context of USART synchronous communication. The superiority of USART is underscored by its utilization of a uniform clock and identical baud rate for simultaneous and synchronous transmission, enhancing data transfer efficiency significantly. This methodology facilitates the transmission of larger data quantities concurrently and mitigates data loss during prolonged transmission, a prevalent issue in UART asynchronous communication. Additionally, USART preserves essential functionalities such as the detection of data boundaries, automatically discerning the initiation and termination of individual data frames, which guarantees the uninterrupted reception and transmission of data. This analysis is pivotal for professionals seeking optimized communication protocols in microcontroller-based systems.

Translation in Language Teaching - The Need for Redefinition of Translation

Translation has been long excluded from language classes due to its association with the drawbacks of the Grammar Translation Method (GTM). However, in recent years, translation has made a comeback with its positive impact on students’ language performance. The effect of translation on the learner’s language knowledge has been finite compared with other language activities. The paper presents a critical analysis of research on translation in language teaching. It is found that the limited results of studies on the impact of translation may involve linguistic focus. Generally, most of the studies did not focus on the meaningfulness of linguistic items, which can only be achieved by placing them in context. In other words, the linguistic view of translation is still common in studies supporting translation. The redefinition of translation should incorporate communicative aspects of translation and the function of translation in a communicative context. The literature-based paper reinstates the importance of a communicative view of translation in language teaching, and it makes proposals related to the inclusion of translation in language learning classes.

Listening to your partner: serotonin increases male responsiveness to female vocal signals in mice.

The context surrounding vocal communication can have a strong influence on how vocal signals are perceived. The serotonergic system is well-positioned for modulating the perception of communication signals according to context, because serotonergic neurons are responsive to social context, influence social behavior, and innervate auditory regions. Animals like lab mice can be excellent models for exploring how serotonin affects the primary neural systems involved in vocal perception, including within central auditory regions like the inferior colliculus (IC). Within the IC, serotonergic activity reflects not only the presence of a conspecific, but also the valence of a given social interaction. To assess whether serotonin can influence the perception of vocal signals in male mice, we manipulated serotonin systemically with an injection of its precursor 5-HTP, and locally in the IC with an infusion of fenfluramine, a serotonin reuptake blocker. Mice then participated in a behavioral assay in which males suppress their ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs) in response to the playback of female broadband vocalizations (BBVs), used in defensive aggression by females when interacting with males. Both 5-HTP and fenfluramine increased the suppression of USVs during BBV playback relative to controls. 5-HTP additionally decreased the baseline production of a specific type of USV and male investigation, but neither drug treatment strongly affected male digging or grooming. These findings show that serotonin modifies behavioral responses to vocal signals in mice, in part by acting in auditory brain regions, and suggest that mouse vocal behavior can serve as a useful model for exploring the mechanisms of context in human communication.

Flash fiction as a distinct literary form: some thoughts on time, space, and context

ABSTRACT This article combines a craft-focused approach with a stylistics perspective to consider the ways in which flash fiction may be said to operate as a unique literary form. In the opening section flash fiction is defined in relation to what are usually seen as its two closest literary companions: prose poetry and the short story. This is followed by an introduction to the linguistic phenomenon known as deixis, and to related concepts from the field of Narratology. These ideas are subsequently illustrated and explored through the close analysis of several short texts and used to uncover what might be considered the defining features of the form. The earlier taxonomic approach of William Nelles is also evaluated in the light of more recent creative practice. The article concludes by arguing that the mobilisation of a story world is a necessary requirement for a text to be classified as flash fiction, by highlighting the importance of deft manipulation of deictic elements, and finally by suggesting that the unique communicative context evoked by flash fiction has significant implications for its interpretation.

The Operational Logic of Culture-Based Short Video Marketing Empowering Brand Growth: The Case of Local Cultural Brands

Many academics studying marketing have shifted their focus to the scientific study of short videos as a result of the rapid growth of new media. Despite the abundance of research findings, the majority of academics concentrate on short videos for pure communication purposes without analyzing how traditional culture is used in short videos for propaganda or the integration process. In order to support the long-term growth of marketing, investigate additional opportunities presented by short-video cultural communication, and broaden and deepen the scope of marketing research, this article conducted a thorough analysis of the best examples of short-video cultural communication using the literature analysis method. It also examined the primary ways in which short-video culture-based marketing supports the development of a brand and integrated a broadly applicable brand communication path. According to the brand case study, the "Cao County" brand primarily uses "official marketing + self-media dissemination + live broadcasting with goods" to promote local culture and tourism in Cao County. In contrast, the brand "Chuanxiang Xiaomeier" achieves brand image unification and short video communication content innovation through the usage of "personal account promotion, brand identification system, and family communication context creation". This article ultimately finds that the core path of "dual matrix mode creation + brand image unification + cultural background empowerment" supplies a reference program for short video culture promotion. It does this by combining the common points and communication benefits of the two scenarios.

Generalized time-delay reverse synchronization with error feedback coefficients

To enhance the application of discrete chaotic systems in secure communication, we introduce a novel generalized time-delay inverse synchronization method with error feedback coefficient. This paper outlines the derivation of an inverse master-slave time-delay generalized synchronization system using the Lyapunov theory with error feedback coefficient design, which is proposed for the first time. To verify the efficacy of the synchronization method, we constructed a new 4D discrete hyperchaotic system. The dynamic properties of the novel system, such as the phase diagram and Lyapunov exponents, are investigated. Empirical outcomes reveal that generalized discrete time-delay synchronization can be accomplished under certain conditions for the error feedback coefficient. The study utilizes the chaotic masking technique to encrypt and decrypt messages in the secure communication system. The experimental findings reveal that by integrating the synchronization approach with the time-delay context of secure communication, the applicable design of the synchronization procedure is adaptable and trustworthy, catering to the pertinent requirements of engineering, and has the capacity to attain instantaneous chaotic synchronization requisites.

Conditionals in Mandarin: A Corpus-based Study from A Semantic Perspective

This corpus-based study delves into the expression of conditional constructions in Mandarin Chinese, employing a detailed analysis of both written and spoken data derived from four commonly used Mandarin corpora. Utilizing a mixed qualitative method, the research focuses on four widely-used conditional markers: rúguǒ, jiǎrú, yàoshì, and yàobushì. The investigation aims to understand the syntactic function of these markers in initiating basic conditional statements, as well as to explore their varied use across different genres. The study reveals that while these markers share a common role in forming conditional sentences, they exhibit significant differences in terms of frequency of use and semantic nuances. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of Mandarin syntax and semantics, highlighting the complexity and diversity of language use in different communicative contexts. The findings offer insights into the intricate ways in which Mandarin speakers express conditionality, enhancing the comprehension of this aspect of the language.

Sulla definizione di coerenza testuale. Dizionari e ricerca a confronto verso un modello operativo per le classi del ciclo superiore

This study presents reflections on developing a grammar of Val Badia Ladin. For minority languages undergoing processes of standardisation and normalisation primarily based on the synchronic system of the language, the creation of a normative grammar for the linguistic community necessitates a discussion on the interplay between the norm and linguistic variation. Furthermore, the paper casts some light on the significance of acquiring both written and oral data to comprehensively analyse language use within various communicative contexts. Lastly, three examples are provided to delineate the challenges concerning variation and normativity within a mainly normative grammar.

Stuart A. Selber: What is Digital Rhetoric?

The interview conducted with Stuart Selber by Jim Ridolfo in this special issue on “Challenging Rhetorical Traditions” provides an overview of Selber’s innovative and impactful career studying digital rhetoric. From Selber’s award-winning 2004 monograph Multiliteracies for a Digital Age to his newest monograph Institutional Literacies: Engaging Academic IT Contexts for Writing and Communication, we discuss how the literacies and landscapes of digital rhetoric have significantly changed and will continue to change as we wade into an era of increased digital privacy concerns, deep fakes, and Generative AI. Professor Selber’s work is an excellent example of how scholarship in contemporary digital rhetoric is revolutionizing the field of traditional rhetoric and the teaching of literacy, both re–elaborating its basic notions and expanding its future applications.

Map-Based Ensemble Forecasts for Maritime Operations: An Interactive Usability Assessment with Decision Scenarios

Abstract Previous research indicates that forecast uncertainty can, in certain formats and decision contexts, provide actionable insights that help users in their decision-making. However, how to best disseminate forecast uncertainty, which factors affect successful uptake, and how forecast uncertainty transforms into better decision-making remains an ongoing topic for discussion in both academic and operational contexts. Interpreting and using visualizations of forecast uncertainty are not straightforward, and choosing how to represent uncertainty in forecast products should be dependent on the specific audience in mind. We present findings from an interactive stakeholder workshop that aimed to advance context-based insights on the usability of graphical representations of forecast uncertainty in the field of maritime operations. The workshop involved participants from various maritime sectors, including cruise tourism, fisheries, government, private forecast service providers, and research/academia. Geographically situated in Norway, the workshop employed sea spray icing as a use case for various decision scenario exercises, using both fixed probability and fixed threshold formats, supplemented with temporal ensemble diagrams. Accumulated operational expertise and characteristics of the forecast information itself, such as color coding and different forms of forecast uncertainty visualizations, were found to affect perceptions of decision-making quality. Findings can inform codesign processes of translating ensemble forecasts into usable and useful public and commercial forecast information services. The collaborative nature of the workshop facilitated knowledge sharing and coproduction between forecast providers and users. Overall, the study highlights the importance of incorporating methodological approaches that consider the complex and dynamic operational contexts of ensemble-based forecast provision, communication, and use. Significance Statement We wanted to understand how maps showing uncertainty in weather forecasts can help maritime users in their operational decisions. We organized a workshop with Norwegian maritime stakeholders and forecasters, who interpreted maps that combined layers of maritime operational activities and the likelihood of sea spray icing (an important hazard for ships operating on higher latitudes). The results show that contextual knowledge, and the use visual formats such as traffic light colors may help users to understand the maps. The results will help to better communicate weather forecasts to maritime users and gives suggestions about how to involve users in codesigning forecast products. Follow-up research could use our approach to investigate other hazardous conditions, such as wind, waves and sea ice.

The nexus of religion and politics in the discourses of English Faith-based party: A linguacultural analysis

This study aims to present the background knowledge of linguaculture and express the effect of religious culture on verbal communication used by politicians in English countries within the broad context of political behavior and communication. To achieve this aim, an eclectic model, drawing on Risagers' (2012), was developed as an analytical framework to analyze the two selected texts of the English religion-based political party 'The Christian Heritage Party of Canada.' The study concludes that religious culture has a more prominent effect on the verbal communication of politicians in English texts. Politicians use intertextual references to the Biblical texts throughout their texts to legitimize their actions and perspectives, add meanings to the intended meaning and utilize an authoritative source as background and support. Thus, they enhance their speeches to reveal their religious identity and pass on their agendas.

METHOD OF TEACHING VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL CODES OF ADVERTISING DISCOURSE IN THE CROSS-CULTURAL CONTEXT

This article considers the problem of the methodology for training student majoring in advertisement in the context of the interculturalization of the advertising market. The modern world is an environment where different cultures are clashing and mixing constantly. Geopolitical or economic ties intricately link all nations and communities. Furthermore, this dynamic is intertwined with advertising, a phenomenon crafted as a part globalization. In this context, a country promotes its commodities to others, ventures into the global market, and engages in the import and export of its products. This underscores the practical significance of the research. Additionally, there is a discernible inclination towards creating advertisements for foreign products in alignment with the cultural nuances of the target audience. Both verbal and non-verbal elements of the local culture are used. Therefore, there is a need to modernize and modify student learning. To meet this need, the article proposes a model of teaching the verbal and non-verbal code of advertising discourse within the context of intercultural communication. The model focused on four-level qualitative indicators, contributed to the improvement of students' abilities to create advertising in the context of intercultural communication. The results of the study showed the specifics of students' language training, the importance of the ability to correctly use national cultural qualities, linguistic reality, mentality and acquired knowledge to create a successful and effective advertising company on the world market.
