Main Means Of Communication Research Articles

The Beauty and Importance of Scientific Journals

For more than 300 years, academic journals have been the main means of communication in all disciplines to disseminate scientific discoveries and advances, both theoretical and methodological, through scientific article, since they have covered all the functions of knowledge generation. Writing articles is the highlight of the research process and through it we not only share ideas and foster the spirit of free and cooperative exchange of information, but also fuel the process of self-correction that makes science powerful. To be shared with the community, articles must go through a process of attribution of authorship, certification of validity, dissemination, distribution and archiving of knowledge. Throughout history, scientific journals have gone through different stages and through different problems inherent to the editorial process. In this essay on scientific publications, we will reflect on the nature of publications, their importance and usefulness both social and economic, their less luminous side as well as their role, as a systemic and almost irreplaceable mechanism, in the generation and transmission of scientific culture, of our knowledge and understanding about the world and about ourselves.

A multi-label text classifier: application on an Italian public tender procedure, project ISCOL@

The main means of communication during the pre-design phase is natural language. Effective communication during the pre-design phase through text documents and reports is essential to the success of a design and construction project. The study develops and evaluates a Natural Language Processing (NLP) tool called ArchiBERTo to process textual data related to design tender documents in the Italian public procurement process. Documenti di Indirizzo alla Progettazione (DIPs) are key documents, as they outline the demands, needs, and objectives of the public appointing party. ArchiBERTo is developed to process and convert DIP quality objective sentences into a hierarchy of objectives and criteria. The performances are evaluated by comparing the tool’s rankings with those provided by a group of domain experts. The results demonstrate ArchiBERTo's capability to reflect the collective ability of a panel of experts and to properly reflect the different contents of the DIP in the objectives hierarchy. The proposed system aims to address the issue of information asymmetry and potential misunderstandings, or varying interpretations, among the key actors of the Italian tendering procedure, namely the public appointing party, the design teams, and the external committee, regarding the relative importance of quality objectives and evaluation criteria. The utilization of the NLP systems ArchiBERTo to establish a shared hierarchy of objectives is expected to enhance communication and promote consensus during the pre-design phase. The minimization of the consensus issue among the actors can have a positive impact on the overall quality of the design proposals and facilitate the evaluation process conducted by the external committee, bridging the gap between expected and actual quality, ensuring that design proposals align with the quality objectives and demands of the public actor.

Genesis of Music Video Clip as a Popular Form of Modern Audiovisual Culture: Experiments with Music Visualisation

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the development of the music video clip in the context of the historical interaction of musical and audiovisual culture. Research methodology. General scientific methods of cognition were applied, in particular analysis and synthesis, systematisation of theoretical data, the method of structural-functional analysis, which made it possible to reveal specific aspects of the interaction of music and various forms of artistic practices in the space of audiovisual culture; a typological method, with the help of which various features of the music video clip in the structure of modern audiovisual culture are revealed. Scientific novelty. The genesis of the music video clip as a popular form of modern audiovisual culture is studied; the problem of integration of visual images and music as part of artistic practices in historical retrospect is considered. Little-known works of foreign scientists, the problems of which are correlated with the subject area of research were introduced into scientific circulation. Conclusions. The genesis of the music video clip testifies to the significant role of artistic practices in the process of image and music interaction at the early stages, which contributed to the invention of new creative ways of representing the imaginary – animation and montage proposed by avant-garde artists; videos and video installations created by mastering the television image; music videos that opened a new dimension for experimentation, becoming an influential form of modern culture. Artistic history of analogue interactions between cinema and music during the 20th century demonstrates the antecedent conditions of production, perception, and socio-political context that were necessary for the mass popularization of the music video as an established form. Thanks to the early experiments in the formation of visualised music, the music video as a new form of audiovisual art gained cultural value, which allowed it to play a significant role at the modern stage. The music video played and continues to play a key role in the socio-cultural space. The technological evolution from analogue to digital means of production and display has accelerated the development of both the form and the aesthetics of the music video, which emphasises one of the most important roles of art in society – to provoke thought and encourage a rethinking of social, political and cultural conditions and surroundings, using this is the main means of communication, including popular music.

Distance teaching, science teaching, and preschoolers’ reactions during the COVID-19 pandemic—A comparison of the first and third lockdowns

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic brought about a new reality in all aspects of life. The lockdowns significantly impacted early childhood educators, necessitating a shift in instructional methods. Preschool (3–6 years of age) teachers had to develop innovative, creative distance science learning activities that were engaging and age-appropriate. We asked: What pedagogical practices did preschool teachers implement in distance teaching and distance science teaching during the first and third lockdowns? How did the teachers cope with distance teaching, and how did they perceive the preschoolers’ behaviour and verbal interaction during remote meetings? How self-confident were the preschool teachers with distance science teaching? The study involved 386 teachers in the first lockdown and 232 in the third. Participants completed online questionnaires that included closed- and open-ended questions. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses revealed that WhatsApp and Zoom were the main means of communication. Most teachers advanced their distance teaching practices and their self-confidence from the first to third lockdowns. During the third lockdown, teachers produced educational, scientific short videos and developed instructions for simple scientific experiments at home. Children's difficulties in communicating remotely were mainly due to adults’ or other household members’ unavailability for support, which was greater during the third lockdown.

온라인 무역사기 사례에 관한 연구: 이메일 해킹 무역사기 사례를 중심으로

Purpose: This study focuses on the fact that fraud using email, which is a major means of communication in trade transactions, continues to occur. To raise awareness of the email hacking risks, this study suggests practical countermeasures through analysis of fraud that has caused damage and cases of attempted fraud. Research design, data, and methodology: Along with a literature review, this study focuses on successful and attempted email hacking trade fraud based on recent data from KOTRA. Results: According to the analysis, representative types of email-related trade fraud are mainly “new forms of email account hacking” and “existing forms of similar email alteration fraud cases”. Recently, in response to changes in companies' awareness of email fraud, the number of cases has decreased, but caution is required because fraudsters are becoming more detailed and sophisticated in their approach. Conclusions: This paper encourages step-by-step practical and policy alternatives in order to be suspicious of (and to confirm) account change requests based on the changing perception of fraud by email, which is the main means of communication for traders.

The essential and irrefutable position of the Persian language and literature as one of the most significant and influential literatures among the world literature is a clear and obvious thing, and in the meantime, the amazing influence that the language has as the main means of communication and creation of works of art on The literature is brilliant. Poets and writers can use different tools to take advantage of the power of language in literature so that to enrich their literary works. One of the tools is the semantic avoidance. Semantic norm avoidance is one of the tools of literary creation in poetry, and its investigation in prose will lead to its manifestation and poeticization. The authors of the research, using the descriptive-analytical method and library studies, while relying on the model presented by Farzan Sajudi (1378), to categorize the types of semantic norm avoidance based on the framework proposed by Leach (1969), to define semantic norm avoidance. In terms of prostration and explanation of its types, they have presented the frequency of each of them in the book of Kalileh and Demneh. The results of this research show that in the book Kalileh and Demnah Nasrullah Munshi, semantic deviance by the method of objectification is used more and its frequency compared to other types of semantic deviance is more, and this topic can be used in stylistics studies. This great work and its difference with other works of the same period should be taken into consideration.

Leaving the “Discomfort” Zone: The Correlation between Politics and New Artistic Practices at the Beginning of the 19th Dynasty

At the end of the Amarna Period, a process of political and religious restoration began. This attempt at recovery went beyond the strictly official, as the Egyptian society seemed to demand a moral reparation. It was a much-needed change that would encompass all aspects of society and it was imperative that the changes be visible. It is for this reason that visual art would be one of the main means of communication. The artistic image was the propaganda necessary to reconstruct historical memory and religious sentiment. This was most evident in the early years of the 19th dynasty, when, in addition, the need to legitimize the new royal lineage was reflected in private tombs. The Egyptian artist used art to visually consolidate these changes, and the owner of the tomb was keen to do so. This article aims to analyze the artistic changes, mainly in the private sphere, that occurred in funerary art in opposition to the religious changes that had been made during the Amarna Period and that were most evident from the reign of Horemheb until the first half of the reign of Ramesses II. Politics and art intermingled at a time when reconstructing the past and the relationship with divinity was an urgent necessity.

Expressive Sign Language Recognition using CNN

A major shortcoming in our society is a social barrier between the differently abled members of the society and the abled folks. One of the most important aspects of human beings, being regarded as social animals, is in fact communication. Communication is also a major obstacle faced by the hearing and vocal disabilities people. This inability to communicate leads to frequent problems and hinders the daily activities of a person with hearing and vocal disabilities. The underlying reason for this disparity is that abled folks don’t learn and aren’t taught Sign Language which is the main means of communication for a person with hearing and vocal disabilities. Thus, abled folks are incapable of having a normally fluent conversation with these different sections of the society. Consequently, in a verbal exchange among hearing and speech impaired individuals and an able person the convenience of communique and consequently the consolation degree is hampered. So, in our project, we have proposed a cost-efficient solution to overcome this communication barrier. This solution can be easily used by everyone and can also be, with some modifications, made to work on most platforms which have a camera module. Our approach uses the integrated camera module to capture real time hand gestures based on hand key points or landmarks and the algorithm using machine learning techniques, displays the alphabet that the gesture is representing.

Book review - Muntasir Fayez Al-Hamad. 2022. Signs and Gestures: Non-verbal Communication in the Qatari Culture (translated and edited by Alreem Al-Adba). Doha: Qatar University Press. 278 pp. ISBN: 978-992-713-954-3

Language is the main means of communication for human beings, but it is not the only one. In fact, we communicate through our body movements and postures, through gestures; even the distance between bodies has a specific meaning, and the clothes and the accessories we wear, too. Ignoring the meaning of certain verbal and non-verbal languages can cause communication problems, because what it is acceptable in a culture, might not be accepted by another culture. With this in mind, it is necessary to emphasize the importance of how non-verbal communication is just as national and cultural as verbal communication.

Moderating Effect of Social Media Exposure and School Type on the Relationship Between Instructional Competence and English Proficiency

Social media have become the main means of communication and maintaining a social life. Students may develop their English proficiency through social media and so with the teacher’s instructional competence. This study determined the moderating effect of social media exposure and school type on the relationship between instructional competence and English proficiency. The researchers pilot-tested and validated the instruments to determine the reliability and validity of the instrument. The researchers adapted and modified the instruments of Baria (2012) and Hasegawa (2010). Further, the study employed a descriptive correlational research design. The study focused on the influence of social media exposure and school type on the relationship between students’ perception of teachers’ instructional competence and the English proficiency level of BECED first-year college students in one of the community colleges in Mindanao, Philippines. The result of the study exposed that first-year college students mostly graduated from public schools. Students claimed that they were exposed to social media for uploading pictures, interaction, and other academic purposes. Additionally, the results of the study showed that first-year BECED college students had an overall mean score that indicated poor English proficiency performance. Furthermore, the results of the study showed that there was no significant difference in the respondents’ English proficiency when grouped according to feeder school type. Also, the results showed that there was no significant relationship between English proficiency and social media exposure. Additionally, the results showed that the respondent’s English proficiency had no significant relationship with teachers’ instructional competence. The study concluded that social media does not moderate the relationship between the perception of a teacher’s instructional competence and English proficiency. Thus, students must use social media carefully. Also, teachers have to be competent enough to meet the needs of 21st-century learners.

PROBLEMS OF ECOLOGIZATION OF THE MODERN UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE

A range of speaking exercises, such as oral presentations, voice recordings, group discussions, and interviews, helped to strengthen those areas. Moreover, the mean gain of the students’ post-test was higher than the mean gain of the students’ pre-test. In the pre-test, the mean gain was 56.37; however, the students could achieve 74.05 in the post-test. In addition, students’ learning motivation increased in terms of: students involve in learning process, students solve the problem and search the issue, students try to work harder to avoid the failure.

Peculiarities of the semantic representation of religious images in modern Ukrainian poetry (the period of the full- scale Russian invasion)

The article is devoted to the study of modern poetic texts regarding the interpretations and semantic content of religious images. Studying the implementation of one of the key language concepts based on the poetic speech material allows, on the one hand, to talk about the expressive capabilities of language as the main means of communication, and on the other hand, to investigate the specifics and changes in worldview orientations of representatives the modern generation of Ukrainians. The material for analysis was poetry posted on the pages of social networks during a difficult period for Ukrainians – the full-scale Russian invasion. The choice of language material is explained by the fact that poetry as a form of verbal art is capable of broadcasting the first quick reaction to events. The texts of different authors collectively provide a kind of the society’s emotional state projection, reflect a collective emotion. The ability to publicize poetic texts with the help of social networks and respond to them quickly endows modern poetry with a psychotherapeutic function. According to our observations, in the analyzed poetic texts, the most frequent religious image is God/Creator/Lord/Almighty. We note a number of traditional semantic interpretations of the image – faith, comfort, help, higher justice. The motif of disappointment, hopelessness, despair, which is realized in the image of an indifferent, blithe God, is typical for the poetry of a certain period. We also observe original interpretations, for example, God who sets out to fight for freedom and truth with weapons in his hands, or God who manifests himself in every Ukrainian – soldiers, volunteers, medics, power engeneer, etc. Interpretations of biblical stories are also interesting for analysis, for example, the story of the execution and resurrection of Christ is broadcast to modern Ukraine, which is currently suffering for the sins of humanity, but will surely be resurrected.
