A Study on Baul Lalon Shah's Songs of Humanity in Communication Theory Perspective

This article explores the songs of Baul Lalon Shah, a prominent figure in the classical folklore of 19th-century Bengal under British rule. Lalon's music, deeply rooted in humanism, transcends caste, religion, and social divisions, emphasizing unity, equality, and peace. As a member of the Baul community, Lalon integrated diverse religious philosophies, including Hinduism, Tantric Buddhism, and Sufi Islam, into a unique spiritual discourse centred on humanity. His songs advocate for the primacy of humanism over religious and societal binaries. Despite their profound philosophical contributions, Lalon's songs have not been analyzed using rhetorical methods thoroughly. This study seeks to fill that gap by applying rhetorical analysis to examine the humanistic philosophy embedded in Lalon Shah's works. By doing so, it aims to reveal the enduring significance of his message in Bengali society and contribute to the broader discourse on global humanism. Disseminating these insights can play a transformative role in cultural and philosophical spheres.

The Technological Nature of “New Sincerity”

Changes in modern communication have led to the transformation of the category of sincerity into a technology (or strategy) of persuasive influence. Increased sensitivity and the illusion of displaying genuine emotions are used not for frank self-expression, but for achieving commercial, ideological, and other goals. In the article, “new sincerity” is examined from the perspective of communication theory and the understanding of effective strategies by communication participants. It is argued that “new sincerity” has several variations with different sets of substantive components. Four models of new sincerity are characterized, each structured according to the significant components identified during the analysis: the scope of the concept of sincerity, the subject of sincerity, the object of influence, the instrument of influence, the conceptual core (integral component), qualifiers of the concept, type of activity; means of carrying out the activity; expected result of the activity. The assumption is made that variations in understanding the linguistic unit new sincerity have emerged as a result of the universality of its structural-and-semantic contour. It is suggested that the word sincerity originally had potential for future transformations due to the practical properties of the reality it denotes. It is shown that the awareness of the unique properties of sincerity has led to its transformation into insincere sincerity as a technology for attracting audiences of different types with different goals.

Perspektif Teori Komunikasi Behaviorisme Oleh John Broadus Watson

In the last few decades, communication technology has undergone rapid advancements that significantly impact the consumption patterns of digital media in modern society. This research employs the behavioral communication theory perspective developed by John Broadus Watson to delve deeper into the influence of communication technology on the consumption patterns of digital media among modern society. The research findings highlight that communication technology plays a crucial role in shaping the consumption patterns of digital media in modern society. One notable impact is the increased time spent consuming digital media content. The primary driving factor for this increase is the stimulus provided by the availability of diverse and engaging digital content. Additionally, the shift in the types of content consumed is also a result of the influence of communication technology. Modern society tends to respond to stimuli such as the need for information and education by consuming relevant and beneficial digital media content. Furthermore, the research notes an increase in social interaction through digital media as a consequence of technological advancements in communication. This can be explained as a response to the societal need to stay connected with others. With the existence of digital media platforms, social interaction is no longer confined by geographical limitations, allowing individuals to communicate and share experiences virtually. Consequently, it can be concluded that communication technology plays a central role in transforming the consumption patterns of digital media in modern society. The increased consumption time, changes in content types, and the heightened social interaction through digital media serve as tangible evidence of the positive and transformative impact of communication technology development in meeting the demands and needs of modern society.

Strengthening perceptions of virtual team cohesiveness and effectiveness in new normal: A hyperpersonal communication theory perspective

Infant Communication: A New Understanding

From the perspective of communication theory, this paper summarizes two common types of communication: verbal and non-verbal forms, and explains the relationship between nonverbal communication and nonlinguistic communication, followed by a discussion of the definition of verbal communication, physiological mechanisms, acquisition theory and stages of development during infancy, as well as definition and theory of non-verbal communication, and common types during infancy. At the same time, from the perspective of influence on infants, the multimodal forms composed of the attributes of verbal and non-verbal forms and the related factors surrounding infants are discussed, which include the interplay of verbal and non-verbal interactions and the integration between different types of non-verbal behavior, as well as the physiological and environmental factors that influence infants' communication development. Finally, the complexity and importance of communication development in infants are summarized and propose a referable development direction for more in-depth research into the use of science for properties that are only theoretical.

Error Performance and Mutual Information for IoNT Interface System

Molecular communication and the Internet of Nanothings (IoNT) are emerging research hotspots recently, which show great potential in biomedical applications inside the human body. However, how to transmit information from inside body IoNTs to outside devices is seldomly studied. It is well known that the nervous system is responsible for perceiving the external environment and controlling the feedback signals. It exactly works like an interface between the external and internal environment. Inspired by this, this article proposes a novel concept that one can use the modified nervous system to communicate between IoNT devices and <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in vitro</i> equipments. In our proposed system, nanomachines transmit signals via stimulating the nerve fiber by the electrode. Then, the signals transmit along nerve fibers and muscle fibers. Finally, they cause changes in surface electromyography (sEMG) signals, which can be decoded by the body surface receiver. This article presents the framework of this entire through-body communication system. Each part of the framework is also mathematically modeled. The error probability and mutual information of the system are derived from the communication theory perspective, which are evaluated and analyzed through numerical results. This study can pave the way for the connection of IoNT <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">in vivo</i> to external networks.

Family Education Optimization from the Perspective of Complex Discrete Computational Thinking

Family education relationship is a general term for all the relationships that occur around family education activities. The establishment of family education relationship plays an important role in the activity process and effect of family education and will have a profound impact on children's physical and mental development. The study of family education relationship is an important issue that cannot be ignored in the study of family education theory. In order to enhance the effectiveness of family education, it is an objective requirement of theory and practice to rationally analyze and optimize the contemporary family education relationship from the perspective of communication theory. The introduction of communication theory into the field of family education will help to change the actual situation of lack of communication and barrier in contemporary family education relationship and also provide a new idea and perspective for the research and solution of other related problems in family education. Starting from the research and discussion of the basic theory of the relationship between communication and family education, this paper analyzes the concept and characteristics of family education relationship in detail, analyzes and examines the family education relationship in history, and establishes a basic understanding of family education relationship. On the basis of the research of the relevant basic theories, the paper explores and analyzes the current situation and reasons of the lack of communication and the blocking of the contemporary family education relationship. From the perspective of communication, it investigates the contemporary family-educational relationship, clarifies that the basic structure of the family-educational relationship is the unity of the internal interpersonal organizational relationship structure, the psychological relationship structure, and the activity process structure, and examines the current situation of the basic structure one by one. This paper proposes that, with the development of the times and society, the contemporary family education relationship has a huge development compared with the historical family education relationship, reflecting the characteristics of the times such as democracy, but there is still a lack of communication and barriers. Then it analyzes the various concrete manifestations of the lack of communication and the blocking situation in the contemporary family education relationship and its adverse consequences to family education. This paper verifies the influence of computational thinking on the optimization mechanism of family education and demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of computational thinking in family education. This optimizes the family education mechanism from the perspective of computational thinking and provides a research case with reference value for follow-up research.

Strategic responses of chain hotels to COVID-19 from a situational crisis communication theory perspective

PurposeThis research examines how chain hotels respond to the crisis in the context of situational crisis communication, focusing on the first emergence of the COVID-19 crisis and the second period of the pandemic, during which the pandemic was relatively weak.Design/methodology/approachThe data were obtained from the digital announcements shared by the world's 50 most valuable hotel chains. The announcements, declared in the two phases of March–April and July–September 2020, were analyzed. The data were collected through document analysis and transferred to the MAXQDA program for qualitative content analysis. Interviews were held with the managers of chain companies to compare and confirm the results obtained.FindingsChain hotels announced regulations on existing reservations, potential customers, intermediary businesses, suppliers and employees by focusing on maintaining business reputation in the first phase of the pandemic. The hotel units seem to be more open to referrals on emergency measures from chain centers in this phase. In the second stage, announcements to increase sales were shared. The content of the crisis communication is in line with the predictions advocated under the situational crisis communication theory. In addition, some applications that do not comply with the theory are also identified.Research limitations/implicationsThe effects of the crisis communication on hotels were addressed; the responses of other stakeholders to the communication were not taken into account.Practical implicationsSuccessful response strategies must be considered when developing future crisis preparedness measures. Actors in the hospitality industry can adopt a situational crisis communication approach as an effective strategy to cope with the losses caused by a crisis and possibly speed recovery. Hotels can turn the crisis into an opportunity with the strategies they put forward during the pandemic and gain stronger reputations after the pandemic.Originality/valueThis study contributes to both the crisis management literature and the literature on COVID-19 by exemplifying the crisis communication measures and strategies of chain hotels. Focusing on different sub-processes in the analysis of crisis communication, revealing the background about the production and transfer of the information shared during the crisis, and interpreting the content of the messages by considering the benefit of the stakeholders and benefits of the hotel reveals the originality of this study.

Teori Komunikasi Perspektif Indonesia: Gagasan dan Kemungkinan

This article discusses the possibility of initiating the Indonesian perspective of communication theory, an idea that was derived, while also drawing inspiration, from the Asian perspective of communication theory offered by Kincaid and Dissanayake in the 1980s. The question raised in this article is, is it still relevant to formulate a communication theory based on Indonesian culture, as globalization has increasingly blurred the boundaries between "the local" and "the global"? By using cultural studies and postcolonial theories, as well as literature study methods, the results show that it is possible to initiate communication theory from the Indonesian perspective, although this possibility is still accompanied by a few notes. First and foremost, problematizing the concept of Indonesia itself. Second, conducting dialogue with other scientific disciplines which also criticize the hegemony of Western theories. By adhering to the two notes above, the Indonesian perspective of communication theory is expected to avoid the trap of essentialism and ahistoricism, as seen in various other approaches that also criticize the hegemony of Western theories in communication studies.

Subcarrier Intensity Modulated Optical Wireless Communications:A Survey from Communication Theory Perspective

Subcarrier Intensity Modulated Optical Wireless Communications:A Survey from Communication Theory Perspective

«TRUTH» AND «AUTHORITY» AS CATEGORIES OF SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY

The paper highlights the mutual isolation between politics (collective imperatives, normative expectations that force to take action) and science (area of cognitive expectations dependent on similarly imperative internal, though universally shared, intersubjective convictions. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the interdependence between political development and science in Russia. The authors investigate prerequisites for the affirmation of the only- truth instance from the perspective of communication theory and discuss two independent types of communication: the one oriented towards the views of public authorities and the one oriented towards personal beliefs. Applying Luhmann’s universally acceptable concepts describing science and social systems, the authors provide an analysis of the current state of the Russian science.

Teacher professionalism beyond numbers: A communicative orientation

In the European neo-liberal policy context, there has been an increase in pressure on teachers to exercise a type of professional responsibility that contributes to the development of a competitive knowledge-based economy. From a communication theory perspective, this paper examines if it is at all possible to talk of professional responsibility in a policy context characterised by individualisation, standardisation and accountability. Methodologically, this text joins a critical tradition of educational policy research, which emphasises the need to combine critical examination with empirical analysis. Critical discourse analysis has been used for the systematic analysis portion of this text. Central official policy texts from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, the European Union and the 2011 school reforms in Sweden have been analysed. The results show that while demands for increased professional responsibility among teachers have been made by policy actors at different levels, the neo-liberal policy context offers limited opportunities for teachers to actually exercise this type of professional responsibility, if seen as a communicative practice based on the idea of relative autonomy. The paper concludes with a prospective discussion in which teacher professionalism is linked to the creation and maintenance of ‘spaces of communication’, as well as a look at the challenges faced by policy makers at all levels if they are to facilitate such spaces.

A novel approach to characterize information radiation in complex networks

The traditional research of information dissemination is mostly based on the virus spreading model that the information is being spread by probability, which does not match very well to the reality, because the information that we receive is always more or less than what was sent. In order to quantitatively describe variations in the amount of information during the spreading process, this article proposes a safety information radiation model on the basis of communication theory, combining with relevant theories of complex networks. This model comprehensively considers the various influence factors when safety information radiates in the network, and introduces some concepts from the communication theory perspective, such as the radiation gain function, receiving gain function, information retaining capacity and information second reception capacity, to describe the safety information radiation process between nodes and dynamically investigate the states of network nodes. On a micro level, this article analyzes the influence of various initial conditions and parameters on safety information radiation through the new model simulation. The simulation reveals that this novel approach can reflect the variation of safety information quantity of each node in the complex network, and the scale-free network has better ”radiation explosive power”, while the small-world network has better ”radiation staying power”. The results also show that it is efficient to improve the overall performance of network security by selecting nodes with high degrees as the information source, refining and simplifying the information, increasing the information second reception capacity and decreasing the noises. In a word, this article lays the foundation for further research on the interactions of information and energy between internal components within complex systems.

ICU family communication and health care professionals: A qualitative analysis of perspectives

Although ineffective communication is known to influence patient and family satisfaction with care in intensive care unit [ICU] settings, there has been little systematic analysis of the features of the perceived problem from a communication theory perspective. This study was undertaken to understand perceptions of miscommunication and the circumstances in which they present. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 health care professionals [HCPs] in five adult ICUs at an academic medical centre in the United States. From qualitative analysis of the transcribed interviews, four themes emerged, each containing multiple subthemes. Person factors are problems that originate within individuals, related to education, cultural background and emotion. Structural factors are associated with boundaries and coordination of institutional roles. Information management problems result from social and psychological processes by which HCPs and family members seek, distribute and understand information. Relationship management problems arise from difficulties in interpersonal interactions. Ineffective communication is not a single problem, but rather several distinct problems that exist at different levels of abstraction and vary in over-time stability. These findings provide a framework for designing interventions to improve the well-being of patients and family members.

How to do things with data: Meta–data, meta–media, and meta–communication

Moving beyond prevalent technological notions of meta–data, this essay conceptualizes meta–data as the outcome of diverse social practices from the perspective of communication theory. First, I revisit cybernetics and consider the relevance of the concept of meta–communication for the study of the digital media environment. While the bit trails that users leave behind are not normally conceptualized as communication, they are prime candidates for inclusion in a contemporary theory of communication. Second, I discuss digital media as meta–media — media that potentially reproduce and integrate other types of media, old and new. Meta–media yield new varieties of meta–communication and meta–data. Third, I outline a typology of meta–communication for further research on digital media, integrating insights from cybernetics and semiotics.

Front-End Design for Compact MIMO Receivers: A Communication Theory Perspective

The front-end is a crucial component in modern wireless communication systems. For SISO systems minimizing the front-end noise factor is optimal, and this also applies to MIMO systems with i.i.d. noise. However, for compact MIMO receivers that may exhibit spatially correlated noise, e.g., through antenna mutual coupling, the optimal design procedure is not clear. In this paper we develop MIMO low-noise design principles from a communication theory perspective by deriving generalizations of SNR and noise factor from various MIMO communication schemes. As one result, we are able to derive optimal matching networks for a bank of uncoupled amplifiers.

Molecular communication nanonetworks inside human body

To realize molecular nanonetworks, the foundations of molecular information theory should be established through identification of the existing molecular communication mechanisms, and architectures and networking techniques for nanomachines should be developed, which demand novel engineering efforts. Luckily, these engineering skills and technology have been prepared for us by the natural evolution in the last several billions of years. Indeed, the human body is a massive nanoscale molecular communications network as it is composed of billions of interacting nanomachines, i.e., cells. Intra-body biological systems are closely linked to each other and communicate primarily through molecular transactions. Thus, vital activities inside the human body are regulated by everlasting communication performance and operations of intra-body molecular nanonetworks. However, natural intra-body molecular nanonetworks are yet to be explored with the elegant tools of information and communication theories. In this paper, first, the elementary models for significant intra-body molecular communication channels, i.e., nanoscale neuro-spike communication channel, action potential-based cardiomyocyte molecular communication channel, and hormonal molecular communication channel, are introduced. Next, molecular nanonetworks belonging to multi-terminal extensions of channel models, i.e., nervous, cardiovascular molecular, and endocrine nanonetworks are discussed. Furthermore, heterogeneous communication network of intra-body molecular nanonetworks together with five senses, i.e., nanosensory networks, is explored from the perspectives of communication and network theories. Moreover, open research challenges, such as extension of molecular channel models to multi-terminal cases, and developing a communication theory perspective to understand the physiology and to capture potential communication failures of intra-body biological systems, are provided. Our objectives are to learn from the elegant molecular communication mechanisms inside us for engineering practical communication techniques for emerging nanonetworks, as well as to pave the way for the advancement of revolutionary diagnosis and treatment techniques inspired from information and communication technologies, which is promising for future nanomedicine and bio-inspired molecular communication applications.
