El régimen societario de las sociedades laborales en la nueva ley 44/2015, de 14 de octubre, de sociedades laborales y participadas
Authors: García Ruiz Encarnación
Published: October 2016

La ley 44/2015, de 14 de octubre, de sociedades laborales y participadas, pretende acomodar los diversos instrumentos, límites y exigencias con los que configura el régimen jurídico de las sociedades laborales, al actual contexto socio económico y legal donde éstas deben desenvolver su actividad económica. La finalidad propuesta por la ley es preservar su especial naturaleza jurídica, a la vez que persigue modernizar su estructura jurídica, sin debilitar el perfil social que se les demanda. La nueva ley recoge dos figuras organizativas, las sociedades laborales y, las que llama sociedades participadas, de esta última, solo deja constancia de qué hay que entender por ellas remitiendo su regulación a un futuro desarrollo reglamentario. En espera de ese anunciado Reglamento, nuestro trabajo se ha ceñido al aspecto societario de las sociedades laborales analizando las modificaciones realizadas en torno a los elementos tipológicos y de régimen jurídico de estas figuras organizativas para constatar si la vigente ley es el instrumento necesario y suficiente para alcanzar el reto propuesto.
Head-Neck Taper Corrosion following Total Hip Arthroplasty with Stryker Meridian Stem
Authors: Patel Sonika , Talmo Carl T. , Nandi Sumon
Published: October 2016

Background

Taper corrosion at the modular junctions of total hip arthroplasty (THA) femoral stems are known to cause locally destructive adverse local tissue reaction (ALTR). However, the implants at risk remain to be fully elucidated.

Case review

We report the case of a 76-year-old woman with hip pain, abductor weakness, and sciatic nerve symptoms 2 years following metal-on-polyethylene THA. Serum cobalt levels were elevated, while chromium levels were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated ALTR. The patient's symptoms resolved following head and liner exchange with ceramic head and titanium sleeve.

Literature review

Previous studies have reported ALTR secondary to head-neck taper corrosion in cobalt chrome alloy and titanium alloy stems used in metal-on-polyethylene (MoP) THA. The stems described above span 4 manufacturers with varying taper geometries. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ALTR due to head-neck taper corrosion in a Stryker Meridian titanium-molybdenum-zirconium-iron (TMZF) alloy stem.

Clinical relevance

Close surveillance for ALTR may be considered in patients with this prosthesis. Further investigation of the TMZF alloy and V40 taper geometry of this stem may guide future implant design.
Refixation, Allograft and Adjuvant Cell Therapy to Treat Nonunion of the Femoral Neck in a Child
Authors: Magnani Marina , Trisolino Giovanni , Stilli Stefano
Published: October 2016

Introduction

Idiopathic posttraumatic nonunion is a rare condition in children; the treatment of this complication is still controversial in this peculiar population.

Case report

We report a case of a subcapital type II femoral neck fracture, in a 12-year-old boy, which was initially treated by internal fixation and subsequently went on to a nonunion at the femoral neck, in absence of infection or other disease. 1 year after index surgery we performed surgical debridement and refixation with plate and bone allograft, added with autologous bone marrow aspiration concentrate (BMAC) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF). After 3 months the nonunion healed and the boy was allowed full weight-bearing.

Conclusions

Combined surgery and adjuvant cell therapy can be considered an option of treatment in nonunion of the femoral neck in the paediatric population.
The Creation of the World and Other Business: Archetype and the Rhythm of Decorum
Authors: Bergmann Frank
Published: October 2016

Measured by how often it has been performed, The Creation of the World and Other Business has not been a successful play, despite Miller's (perhaps facetious) line that “[t]his is the best goddamned play I've ever written” (Lamos 377). Yet the work occupies a significant position in Arthur Miller's theatrical oeuvre. Thus, the Miller centennial invites a timely reexamination of its chronology, of its critical reception, of its style, and of its crucial connection to myth and archetype.

Published: October 2016

Objetivou-se discutir o uso de escalas para avaliar o risco cirúrgico de idosos no período perioperatório. Trata-se de comentário crítico fundamentado nos princípios da segurança do paciente e no cuidado à pessoa idosa submetida a procedimento cirúrgico uma vez que o enfermeiro realiza avaliação global, identificando os fatores de risco e prevenindo complicações cirúrgicas. A busca na literatura científica foi realizada entre os meses de julho e agosto de 2015. Os resultados evidenciam que escalas preditoras são tecnologias de cuidado que devem ser utilizadas pelos enfermeiros no cuidado ao idoso no período perioperatório com foco na cirurgia segura. Conclui-se que as escalas para avaliação de risco cirúrgico apresentadas podem ser incorporadas à prática cotidiana de cuidado dos enfermeiros, mediante o estabelecimento de plano de cuidados individualizado. A Enfermagem precisa instrumentalizar-se nesse processo e contribuir para a produção do conhecimento nesta perspectiva, a fim de fundamentar e implementar intervenções baseadas em evidências científicas.

Published: October 2016

Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, retrospectivo, que objetivou analisar a atenção pré-natal em uma Regional de Saúde do Estado do Paraná, entre 2012 e 2013. Os dados foram coletados de relatórios mensais e anuais, com instrumento contendo indicadores de avaliação conforme matrizes do Programa Rede Mãe Paranaense. De acordo com o preconizado pelo Programa, os municípios da Regional de Saúde estudada obtiveram resultados insatisfatórios no que diz respeito ao início do pré-natal no primeiro trimestre e realização de testes rápidos de HIV e sífilis, visto que em sua totalidade foram inferiores a 70%. Quanto aos registros e informações referentes à realização do pré-natal, identificou-se ausência de informações sobre a quantidade de gestantes imunizadas e que realizaram consultas odontológicas, e possível atraso de registro nos sistemas de informação. Considerando-se a implantação do Programa Rede Mãe Paranaense em 2012, sugere-se a realização de outros estudos para avaliar as ações de saúde no pré-natal e seus registros.
Between Good and Evil: Deconstructive Interpretation of Noon Wine
Authors: Wang Ru , Tian Yunyun
Published: October 2016

Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) is an eminent novelist in the history of American literature, especially famous for her short novels. Noon Wine is her important masterpiece, its plot and motif always lead to reader’s deep meditation, and researches focus more on its narrative art, myth archetypes and themes. This paper tries to interpret Noon Wine from the perspective of deconstruction and selects several important characters to combine with the subversion of binary opposition in deconstruction, which aims to conclude that the relationship of good and evil in this story is consistent with Derrida’s definition for the relation of binary opposition---supplementation. Therefore, when people interpret things or person, it would be better to be more multiple, after all, between good and evil, there is not merely an arbitrary line but space for more possibilities.

Dessa forma, é importante investigar as repercussões clínicas e benefícios da fisioterapia nesta população. Objetivo: Desenvolver uma revisão sistemática para verificar as repercussões clínicas e potenciais benefícios da fisioterapia motora nos RNPT internados em unidade de terapia intensiva. Métodos: As bases de dados Lilacs, Pubmed e Scopus foram consultadas. Dois revisores independentes realizaram a seleção e análise dos artigos elegíveis e avaliação do risco de viés. Resultados: Quatro artigos foram incluídos na revisão. A conduta fisioterapêutica foi considerada segura, sendo observada redução da dor, melhora da qualidade do sono, do ganho de peso e da função do sistema nervoso autônomo. Conclusões: A fisioterapia motora pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento e conforto dos RNPT sem trazer riscos. No entanto, esta revisão foi limitada pela qualidade dos dados existentes e reduzido número de estudos avaliados.
Disfunção cardíaca induzida por obesidade genética e dietética: modulação pelo trânsito de cálcio
Authors: Da Silva Vitor Loureiro , Cicogna Antonio Carlos , Leopoldo Ana Paula Lima , Leopoldo André Soares
Published: October 2016

Introdução: A obesidade é considerada importante problema de saúde pública e fator de risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças cardiovasculares. Estudos apontam que o trânsito de cálcio (Ca+2) intracelular e extracelular, mecanismo essencial no acoplamento excitação-contração-relaxamento cardíaco, está envolvido nesse processo patológico. Enquanto o influxo de Ca+2 promove aumento da concentração de Ca+2 livre no citosol na fase de contração, a recaptura e a extrusão do Ca+2 são importantes para a diminuição do Ca+2 intracelular durante o relaxamento. Objetivo: Identificar, baseado na literatura científica, a modulação da disfunção cardíaca pelo trânsito de cálcio em modelos de obesidade genética e dietética. Métodos: A busca de artigos em bases de dados eletrônicas foi realizada com palavras-chaves e seus correspondentes em inglês. Resultados: Inicialmente os artigos que apresentassem uma das palavras-chaves no título foram selecionados. Após processo de triagem, foram identificados 23 artigos para leitura na íntegra. Foram selecionados ao debate na seção “Discussão” apenas 18 artigos, visto que apresentaram conteúdo satisfatório sobre o tema abordado. Conclusão: A literatura mostra que a obesidade, genética ou dietética, promove disfunções cardíacas moduladas por diversas alterações no trânsito de Ca+2 intracelular e em suas proteínas regulatórias.

Published: October 2016

Introdução: O diagnóstico de sobrepeso e obesidade pode ser realizado pela antropometria, por facilidade de execução e baixo custo. Considerando a preocupação com a característica de distribuição de gordura, novas estratégias poderiam ser desenvolvidas para a avaliação da composição corporal partindo de medidas antropométricas. Objetivos: Verificar a correlação do Perímetro Abdominal (PAB) e Perímetro da Cintura (PC) em separado, com o somatório de duas dobras cutâneas (DC), triciptal e subescapular; e incluir o perímetro com os maiores valores de correlação em uma equação de regressão para estimativa do somatório de DC. Métodos: Amostra composta por 1.729 meninos (9 e 14 anos), a avaliação da morfologia corporal foi realizada por medidas antropométricas simples e compostas. Foi utilizada uma correlação de Spearman para determinar a associação entre os PAB e PC com as DC. Foi feita uma análise de regressão linear múltipla com o PAB e idade para estimar o somatório de DC. Resultados: A seguinte equação foi gerada: Somatório de DC = 1,16397 (PAB) – 1,414922 (Idade) – 36,33021 (R=0,83). O valor da área sob a curva ROC (AUC) foi de 83% para identificar corretamente indivíduos abaixo ou acima do percentil 85 do somatório de DC. Conclusões: A PAB em conjunto com a idade, se torna um bom preditor da gordura corporal, caracterizada como o somatório de DC, em crianças e adolescentes do sexo masculino.

Mapa interativo para a localização de pontos de entrega voluntária de resíduos recicláveis na cidade de São Paulo
Authors: De Oliveira Ronaldo Barbato , Paschoalin Filho João Alexandre
Published: October 2016

Dentre as maiores dificuldades enfrentadas pelos grandes centros urbanos, atualmente, destaca-se o gerenciamento de seus resíduos sólidos. Uma das formas para diminuir o problema é incentivar a entrega voluntária de resíduos por parte da população, permitindo, assim, sua separação e a não contaminação do solo por estes, bem como a redução da carga exercida sobre os aterros sanitários. Entretanto, cidades grandes, como São Paulo, apresentam uma dificuldade extra a quem deseja dispor corretamente os resíduos, a localização dos pontos de entrega, por ficarem normalmente em locais degradados ou pouco conhecidos. Neste artigo, é proposto um website para facilitar a localização de pontos de entrega voluntária de resíduos sólidos urbanos recicláveis e contatos de cooperativas de catadores e outros. Também é descrito o processo de criação do website, como forma de incentivar a sua adoção pelos demais interessados.

Published: October 2016

Multidrug-resistant (MDR) Acinetobacter baumannii infections are a great public health concern and demand continuous surveillance and antibiotic stewardship. Virulence traits and the pathogenicity of Acinetobacter are less studied compared with the molecular epidemiological and antibiotic resistance profile of this organism. In our present study, we investigated the primary characteristics contributing to the virulence of MDR A. baumannii isolates and compared them with avirulent isolates. Atotal of 32 well-characterized MDR A. baumannii clinical isolates and 22 avirulent isolates from a healthy individual were subjected to multilocus sequence typing and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for a variety of biofilm-associated genes. Additionally, a number of in vitro tests were performed to determine virulence properties. Isolates were found to relate to six sequence types (STs) in which the dominant sequence was ST557 in clinical isolates, followed by ST195 and ST208. However, ST557 and ST222 were absent in avirulent isolates. All STs belonged to clonal complex 2 and clonal lineage 2, which is considered to be a universal clone. PCR analysis showed that most clinical isolates were positive for biofilm-forming genes, such as csu and bap, and also carried pga and ompA genes, which were less common in avirulentisolates. Biofilm formation, phospholipase C production, hemolytic activity, and acinetobactin production occurred significantly more frequently in clinical isolates compared with avirulent isolates. Though A. baumannii clonal lineages showed common virulence traits, they differed in virulent phenotype expression. These findings further support previous studies indicating that A. baumannii is a versatile pathogen with an ability to acquire iron and survive in iron-limiting conditions, highlighting the acinetobactin-mediated iron acquisition mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of A. baumannii infections.
Multiresidue Analysis of Five Neonicotinoid Insecticides and Their Primary Metabolite in Cucumbers and Soil Using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography with Diode-Array Detection
Authors: Abdel-Ghany Maha F , Hussein Lobna A , El Azab Noha F
Published: October 2016

A sensitive, selective, and validated HPLC–diode-array detection method was developed for the simultaneous determination of five neonicotinoid insecticides—acetamiprid, imidacloprid, nitenpyram, flonicamid, and thiacloprid—and their primary metabolite, 6-chloronicotinic acid, incucumbers and soil based on the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) technique as a pretreatment procedure. In the QuEChERS procedure, cucumber samples were extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned using C18, whereas soil samples were extracted with an acetonitrile–dichloromethane mixture (1 + 2). The HPLC conditions were optimized by separating neonicotinoids using an acetonitrile–water mixture (25 + 75) and a Synergi Hydro RP C18 column. Matrix-matched calibrationstandards were prepared in cucumber and soil to eliminate any matrix interference. RSDs were ≤9% in all recovery tests. LODs and LOQs for the five neonicotinoids were in the ranges of 0.006–0.122 and 0.018–0.366 μg/g, respectively. This method was successfully applied to determine residues, the rate of disappearance of the five neonicotinoids from cucumber and soil, and the half-lives of the neonicotinoids.

Published: October 2016

Celiac disease (CD) and gluten-related disorders are significant health and social issues in Western countries, and CD individuals need to exclude gluten from their diets. The adverse health impacts of CD have extended to Asian countries in which CD was not a problem previously. Thai commercial food products that do not contain wheat, rye, barley, or gluten on their labels were surveyed as to whether they were suitable for CD individuals by examining the absence of gluten or the presence of gluten <20 ppm. In Thailand, ELISA tested for gluten content in 129 commercial food products that contained neither wheat, rye, barley, nor gluten on their labels. One hundred nineteen of these 129 products included <20 ppm gluten, and 10 products contained >20 ppm gluten. Surprisingly, four products showed gluten levels >1%. In these 10 products, wheat presence was confirmed by PCR analysis. Our survey suggests that CD individuals can consume most of the examined Thai food products, and the survey showed the potential of these Thai products as new diets for CD patients so as toexpand the limited food choices from different food cultures, and ultimately to improve the quality of life for all CD individuals globally. The appropriate gluten management strategies need to be implemented by Thai food manufacturers to ensure accurate labeling and to protect the safety of consumers with CD.

Transeducar: indagando en un nuevo concepto para el aprendizaje y la enseñanza de las artes
Authors: Domínguez Ricardo
Published: October 2016

Ricard Huerta nos propone a través Transeducar. Arte, docencia y derechos LGTB un modelo de indagación y prácticas docentes que promueva un giro hacia los intereses sociales, culturales y artísticos de nuestro campo de acción. Aprovechando la realidad trans como metáfora del nuevo régimen de derechos y libertades, este investigador del grupo CREARI analiza los recursos que tenemos a nuestra disposición para implicar al alumnado en nuestras acciones docentes en el aula. El uso del cine, la literatura, los videojuegos, los dispositivos móviles, la generación de imágenes, la difusión de éstas en la red, la reflexión sobre los entornos, o la implicación en positivo de tantos espacios de transición, nos van a ayudar a ampliar los márgenes que ahora nos oprimen en nuestra práctica docente. Además, los logros que en los últimos tiempos se han alcanzado en materia de derechos humanos por parte de los colectivos LGTB, y especialmente por el colectivo de las personas trans, se convierten aquí en punto de mira para remontar la pérdida de presencia que padece la educación artística, un campo de conocimiento que lleva décadas viendo menguar su presencia en el ámbito de la educación formal.
From Content-Centeredness to Learner-Centeredness in Teaching English for Specific Purposes
Authors: Čulić-Viskota Adelija , Denc Maciej
Published: October 2016

Student / learner-created or student / learner-centred / generated content in the teaching of languages for specific purposes (LSP) is one of the possible ways-out of the intricate maze in which LSP lecturers often find themselves when dealing with a professional content different from their own. Lecturers of languages for specific purposes, mostly experts in linguistics or literature of a foreign language, are usually faced with professions different from theirs when they start their LSP adventure and are forced to master to a certain extent the profession whose language they intend to teach. Still, keeping abreast with the latest in a profession different from the LSP lecturers' own is a demanding and often hardly feasible task. Maritime English (ME) is used in an environment to which ME lecturers hardly have access, i.e. on board ocean-going and inland craft worldwide. The lecturer has to take a detour, insist on eliciting information from the professionals in the field and keep pace with the actual language requirements to meet. It still remains difficult to find adequate content for LSP purposes as the lecturer feels like a hurdles runner in a different profession field. Students interested in their future profession can often do better in this sense and should be engaged in the creation of course materials and their presentation in class. LSP lecturers should remain in their own field of the (language) coach, while students should actually run their race through the LSP course. Some ideas based in Maritime English are presented as an example of why and how student-created / centred content has become one of the principal approaches in the teaching / learning of Maritime English at the Faculty of Maritime Studies (FMS) in Split, Croatia and Gdynia Maritime University (GMU) in Gdynia, Poland.
Molecular dynamics study on fluorine radical multilayer adsorption mechanism during Si, SiO2, and Si3N4 etching processes
Authors: Numazawa Satoshi , Machida Ken , Isobe Michiro , Hamaguchi Satoshi
Published: October 2016

The surface adsorption processes of fluorine (F) radicals on silicon (Si), silicon dioxide (SiO2), and silicon nitride (Si3N4) substrates during reactive ion etching (RIE) with F incident flux have been studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with bond-order potential functions. In such processes, F radicals are trapped on adsorption sites and thin mixing layers are formed. The radicals break existing bonds near the surface and new trapping sites are generated with specific probabilities. By introducing an extended Langmuir adsorption model, the multilayer adsorption mechanism during etching has been elucidated. The newly proposed Langmuir model takes into account this dynamical site generation by considering two different states of the F mixing layer. The adsorption–desorption processes predicted by the extended Langmuir model are compared with MD simulation results.

Epitaxial growth and electrical properties of γ-Al2O3 films on β-Ga2O3(010) substrates were investigated regarding the prospect of a gate oxide in a β-Ga2O3-based MOSFET. The γ-Al2O3 films grew along the [110] direction and inherited the oxygen sublattice from β-Ga2O3 resulting in the unique in-plane epitaxial relationship of γ-Al2O3

∥ β-Ga2O3[001]. We found that the γ-Al2O3 layer had a band gap of 7.0 eV and a type-I band alignment with β-Ga2O3 with conduction- and valence-band offsets of 1.9 and 0.5 eV, respectively. A relatively high trap density (≅ 2 × 1012 cm−2 eV−1) was found from the voltage shift of photoassisted capacitance–voltage curves measured for a Au/γ-Al2O3/β-Ga2O3 MOS capacitor. These results indicate good structural and electric properties and some limitations hindering the better understanding of the role of the gate dielectrics (a γ-Al2O3 interface layer naturally crystallized from amorphous Al2O3) in the β-Ga2O3 MOSFET.
Changes in snow distribution and surface topography following a snowstorm on Antarctic sea ice
Authors: Trujillo Ernesto , Leonard Katherine , Maksym Ted , Lehning Michael

Snow distribution over sea ice is an important control on sea ice physical and biological processes. We combine measurements of the atmospheric boundary layer and blowing snow on an Antarctic sea ice floe with terrestrial laser scanning to characterize a typical storm and its influence on the spatial patterns of snow distribution at resolutions of 1–10 cm over an area of 100 m × 100 m. The pre‐storm surface exhibits multidirectional elongated snow dunes formed behind aerodynamic obstacles. Newly deposited dunes are elongated parallel to the predominant wind direction during the storm. Snow erosion and deposition occur over 62% and 38% of the area, respectively. Snow deposition volume is more than twice that of erosion (351 m3versus 158 m3), resulting in a modest increase of 2 ± 1 cm in mean snow depth, indicating a small net mass gain despite large mass relocation. Despite significant local snow depth changes due to deposition and erosion, the statistical distributions of elevation and the two‐dimensional correlation functions remain similar to those of the pre‐storm surface. Pre‐storm and post‐storm surfaces also exhibit spectral power law relationships with little change in spectral exponents. These observations suggest that for sea ice floes with mature snow cover features under conditions similar to those observed in this study, spatial statistics and scaling properties of snow surface morphology may be relatively invariant. Such an observation, if confirmed for other ice types and conditions, may be a useful tool for model parameterizations of the subgrid variability of sea ice surfaces.

The nonhydrostatic Model for Prediction Across Scales (NH‐MPAS) provides a global framework to achieve high resolution using regional mesh refinement. Previous studies using the hydrostatic version of MPAS (H‐MPAS) with the physics parameterizations of Community Atmosphere Model version 4 (CAM4) found notable resolution‐dependent behaviors. This study revisits the resolution sensitivity using NH‐MPAS with both CAM4 and CAM5 physics. A series of aqua‐planet simulations at global quasiuniform resolutions and global variable resolution with a regional mesh refinement over the tropics are analyzed, with a primary focus on the distinct characteristics of NH‐MPAS in simulating precipitation, clouds, and large‐scale circulation features compared to H‐MPAS‐CAM4. The resolution sensitivity of total precipitation and column integrated moisture in NH‐MPAS is smaller than that in H‐MPAS‐CAM4. This contributes importantly to the reduced resolution sensitivity of large‐scale circulation features such as the intertropical convergence zone and Hadley circulation in NH‐MPAS compared to H‐MPAS. In addition, NH‐MPAS shows almost no resolution sensitivity in the simulated westerly jet, in contrast to the obvious poleward shift in H‐MPAS with increasing resolution, which is partly explained by differences in the hyperdiffusion coefficients used in the two models that influence wave activity. With the reduced resolution sensitivity, simulations in the refined region of the NH‐MPAS global variable resolution configuration exhibit zonally symmetric features that are more comparable to the quasiuniform high‐resolution simulations than those from H‐MPAS that displays zonal asymmetry in simulations inside the refined region. Overall, NH‐MPAS with CAM5 physics shows less resolution sensitivity compared to CAM4.
Augmented Reality

Published: October 2016

Augmented reality (AR) is an emerging medium of communication. AR involves the overlaying of digital content onto the individual's direct experience of reality. This entry examines the nature of augmented reality, its history, key concepts, and central figures. The entry also examines the evolving AR user experience and technology as well as the implications for communication.
Social Identity Theory
Authors: Harwood Jake
Published: October 2016

The entry describes the origins and core propositions of social identity theory, emphasizing the theory's power in explaining individual prejudice and broader patterns of intergroup relations. Implications of the theory for understanding communication processes, including mass, interpersonal, and organizational communication are further discussed. Theoretical extensions such as self‐categorization theory are also described.
Dialogue Theory
Authors: Arnett Ronald C.
Published: October 2016

Dialogue finds life through prior and continuing dialogues; meaning is discovered through responses to narratives and emergent questions within historical existence, which arbitrate demands within a proximate dialogic occasion. Explication of this perspective situates dialogue within a postmodern moment, connects it to Buber's historical account of the development of the term, frames the ethical implications of this form of communicative practice, reviews dialogic scholarship within the field of communication, and concludes with an examination of the importance of monologue within a postmodern/hypertextual understanding of dialogic theory.
Hermeneutics
Authors: Wilson Tony
Published: October 2016

The hermeneutics of human behavior considers understanding as fundamentally constituted by using. Entities are primarily experienced as equipment. Understanding is incorporated in practices—as embodied and equipped, little reflected upon, projecting and producing participatory meaning. From authoring on social media to walking in a shopping mall, people engage behaviorally through understanding‐in‐use, a habitually assuming and articulating sense for surroundings. Hermeneutics (particularly Heideggerian) is the philosophical source of practices and reception theory, which is now influential across academic territory from business to media schools, marketing to sociology.
Ethnomethodology
Authors: ten Have Paul
Published: October 2016

This chapter presents ethnomethodology as a specific kind of sociology that studies the largely implicit methods that members of a setting use when creating and maintaining the recognizably orderly properties of that setting. Ethnomethodology was developed in the United States by Harold Garfinkel and has influenced sociologists around the globe. It has been a major influence on the development of conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis. Its core message is that recognizability, meaningfulness, and orderliness are inherent in all everyday, routinely enacted practices in and of any setting.
Objectivity and Subjectivity
Authors: Anderson James
Published: October 2016

Objectivity and subjectivity are normative values attached to the practice of research and scholarship. Objectivity can be understood as the normative value attached to claim as being independent of personal and procedural bias. Subjectivity can be understood as the normative value attached to claim as being competently embedded in a cultural location. This entry looks at the relationship of these two terms in the domain of empirical research.
Epistemology
Authors: Anderson James
Published: October 2016

Epistemology is the study of knowledge—its modalities, requirements, contents, methods of acquisition, processes of verification, and connections to other central components of human existence. This entry addresses knowledge as a product of human practices that is acquired, validated, and sustained—or lost—in those practices.
Heidegger,Martin
Authors: Hyde Michael J.
Published: October 2016

This entry offers a brief discussion of Heidegger's phenomenological appreciation of communication, language, and rhetoric. A key text here is Heidegger's 1924 lecture on Aristotle's philosophy. In his later philosophy Heidegger moved away from rhetorical concerns to emphasize poetry and its orientation to the disclosing of truth. Heidegger's involvement with National Socialism in the 1930s has stained his philosophical project up to the present time. Nevertheless, he is considered one the most influential philosophers of the 20th century.
Daoism
Authors: Gunaratne Shelton A.
Published: October 2016

This entry traces the growth of Daoism in China as a competing religio‐philosophy side by side with Confucianism and Buddhism since the 1st centuryce. It examines the six principles of communication that make Daoism different from those adopted in the West. It focuses on the potential of Daoism as a source for constructing a unique set of criteria for evaluating rhetoric and the potential of applying the Daoist notion ofziran‐wuweias an essential characteristic of mindful journalism, a new genre of journalism based on Buddhism's Four Noble Truths. It faults the libertarian press theory for omitting to note the role of Daoism in promoting libertarianism.
Schramm,Wilbur
Authors: McAnany Emile G.
Published: October 2016

Wilbur Schramm is considered a founder of the field of modern communication study. In 1948 he created the first graduate program in mass communication at the University of Illinois, but he also began to establish the discipline with his many early books designated as communication. He was an able administrator and remarkable fund‐raiser who built academic programs at Iowa and Illinois and then at Stanford and the East–West Center in Hawaii over 40 years. He made significant contributions in development and social change, education and media, and helped to create public television in the United States. He is a key figure in the history of a field that has become global in the 21st century.
Meme
Authors: Olesen Mogens
Published: October 2016

“Meme” is a term that defines a cultural counterpart to the biological gene. Memetics is a study field that understands culture as an evolution in homology similar to biological evolution. Accordingly, memes are seen as units of cultural information that partake in a selection battle to be spread among the minds of human beings. Although the scientific value of the meme concept has been widely questioned in academic contexts, the meme has proven effective in practical use, as demonstrated by widespread use of “Internet memes.”

Leon Festinger was one of the most important figures in modern social psychology. He contributed seminal theoretical and methodological innovations to the field that today are still crucial for our understanding of human behavior. Among Festinger's most influential works rank his social comparison theory and the theory of cognitive dissonance. Although Festinger himself never showed a particular interest in media‐related phenomena, his influence on the respective discipline is tremendous and has further gained in importance with the advent of the Internet.

Specifically, a general overview of the concept of traits is provided; types of traits (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive) are differentiated; theoretical positions regarding the origin and development of traits are summarized; issues regarding the relationship between traits and behavior are examined; and weaknesses and limitations to current trait theory and research are considered.
Hypertext, Hypermedia
Authors: Koskimaa Raine
Published: October 2016

Vannevar Bush first formulated the idea of a system where individual text passages could be linked to each other to form networked documents. The idea was further developed and adapted to the digital computer environment. Theodore Nelson defined “hypertext” as a collection of text chunks connected with links, and which offered the reader a choice in which order to follow the links. Hypermedia is an extension of hypertext, where the linked content may take any audiovisual form. Hypertext frees the author of the linear logic of regular text, and also gives the reader the freedom to choose which parts of the document, and in which order, to read. Claims have been made that hypertext is the most general form of writing, and there is a body of creative writing experimenting with hypertext. The World Wide Web is based on hypertextual structure embodied in the hypertext markup language (HTML) and the hypertext transfer protocol (http).
Software
Authors: Mogensen Torben Ægidius
Published: October 2016

Softwareis a term collectively used for all kinds of programs that run on a computer on all levels from operating systems and device drivers to end‐user applications. This is in contrast tohardware, which covers the physical (electronic) components that are used to build a computer. Programs are represented as data that are interpreted either by hardware or by other programs that, in turn, are interpreted by hardware. As computers have proliferated and become more capable, the number of software products has undergone massive growth in a global market. At the same time, the social impact of computers and software has deepened, as many everyday activities now involve digital interactions using software on computers of all kinds.
