A Review on HR-HPV: An Increasing Cause of Concern for Cervical Carcinoma
Authors: Katiyar Karuna , Jahan Noor , Uddin Ghayas
Published: April 2024

Human Papilloma virus, leads to widely prevalent viral infection with worldwide distribution of variable genotypes, it is the major cause of cancer in women and a leading cause of deaths due to cancer in India. Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer in women worldwide and the most common cancer cause of death in the developing countries. Notably, four out of every five cases of cervical cancer reported in India were attributed to infections from HPV types 16 and 18. India has a population of 483.5 million women aged 15 years and older who are at risk of developing cervical cancer. Infections with high-risk HPV types impair the function of cellular proteins and interfere with the expression of biological gene products. In high-grade intraepithelial neoplasias and cancers, HPV DNA is typically integrated into the host genome. WHO has recommended Screening of cervical cancer among young sexually-active females for early detection of HPV induced cervical carcinoma. Detection of HPV at earlier stages is essential in prevention of invasive cervical carcinoma. Based on clinical stage categories upon diagnosis, standard of care for cervical cancer management includes surgery, radiation, systemic therapy, or a combination of these therapeutic modalities.
Plastic Pollution Awareness and Prevention Program for Coastal Businesses
Authors:   Ohio Sea Grant, Bartolotta Jill , Bixler Susan
Published: April 2024

Plastics, one type of marine debris, account for nearly 90% of beach cleanup litter collected (Surfrider Foundation, 2022), with 22 million pounds (10 million kilograms) entering the Great Lakes annually, half going into Lake Erie (Hoffman and Hittinger, 2017). Lake Erie provides drinking water for 12 million people and supports a $12.9 billion coastal tourism industry (USEPA, 2022). Plastic is hazardous to aquatic life through entanglement, ingestion, and associated contaminants (Derraik, 2002), and negatively impacts Ohio’s economy (NOAA Marine Debris Program, 2019).

Sea Grant programs across the United States and its territories are working with coastal communities to enhance their resilience to hazards and weather extremes exacerbated by climate change. Drawing on the expertise of the authors, many of whom have multiple years or decades of experience in the Sea Grant network, the article identifies five key strategies that Sea Grant programs employ to support the process of coastal hazards and extreme weather adaptation and resilience-building. The application of these strategies, most of which have their roots in the historical legacy of extension, are then illustrated through summaries of current Sea Grant activities and projects, showcasing how they have been applied in real-world situations. These strategies allow Sea Grant programs to fill a unique and valuable niche in national efforts to enhance coastal resilience. The article concludes with a discussion of emerging challenges and recommendations for strengthening Sea Grant’s capacity to support adaptation in coastal communities into the future.

Published: April 2024

Every summer, divers across Florida don their masks and fins and embark on a mission to provide data about one of the world’s largest groupers. The Atlantic goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara, hereafter referred to as goliath grouper) is a large, long-lived reef species that can reach lengths exceeding 2 m and ages of at least 37 years (Bullock et al., 1992). Occurring in subtropical/​tropical waters of the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico, the species suffered significant overfishing and population declines through the 1980s. In 1990, the harvest of goliath grouper was prohibited in the United States, and the species remains protected from harvest in all federal waters of the United States at this time (although the state of Florida recently approved a limited, highly regulated harvest opportunity for goliath grouper in state waters; FWC, 2022). The state of Florida has historically been a center of abundance for this species, and although numbers have been rebuilding in some areas since the moratorium, stock assessment remains complicated and the status of the population is unclear (Koenig et al., 2011; SEDAR, 2016; Locascio et al., 2023).

Investigation of structural and electronic properties of ZnO using first principle calculations
Authors: Duong Quoc-Van
Published: April 2024

In this research, first-principle calculations have been performed to study the geometry structure and electronic properties of ZnO. All possible exchange-correlation energy functionals were used to perform geometry optimization of ZnO in order to find the efficient calculation conditions. Bandgap energy, density of states (DOS), projected DOS (PDOS); and other properties of ZnO were also calculated and discussed. The calculated band-gap value of ZnO is less than 1.0 eV, much smaller than experimental value of 3.37 eV; while the PDOS results indicate the important roles of O 2p and Zn 3d orbitals in ZnO band structures. The well-known limitation of band-gap value calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) was solved by applying Hubbard potential on Zn 3d and O 2p orbitals. A full investigation with Hubbard value varying from 0.5 to 10 eV has been performed and the selected value is 8.0 eV for both Zn 3d and O 2p electrons.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Impacted canines affect 2% of the world population and can cause serious consequences, one of the most serious being external root resorption, generated by the loss of cement and/or dentin. They can be diagnosed using periapical, panoramic radiographic images and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). The root of the upper lateral incisor is the most affected area, although some cases of resorption in central incisors have been reported as a result of dental impactions.Objective: report a case of external root resorption in a maxillary central incisor caused by the impaction of a canine and its conservative orthodontic management.Results: After orthodontic treatment, an improvement was obtained in the facial profile, class I molar, and canine relationships. The upper left canine was replaced with the first premolar from the same quadrant, restorations were made in the anterior sector for characterization. In addition, the upper left central incisor, affected by root resorption, he was treated conservatively without the need for endodontic treatment.Conclusion: An adequate management of the impacted maxillary canines and the degree of resorption of the teeth adjacent to it, both from the aesthetic and functional point of view, is of the utmost importance in the success of the treatment to achieve long-term stability.

Authors:   The Korean Society for Veterinary Nursing, Yoon Sorah
Published: April 2024

Drug responses are showed in individual variability. It can be main causes of adverse drug reactions or extended therapies, which result in burden of substantial health. Despite of extensive investigation in pharmacogenomics in terms of the impact of individual genetics on drug-metabolism, a limited proportion of drug-individual variability explains genetic diversity.
The gut microbiota and its metabolites have been proven a role to modulate therapeutic outcomes in diseases. Therefore, in this article, we present the interaction between microbiota and drug responses in companion animal diseases, including cancer, endocrine diseases, and others. Also, we summarize how microbiota modify metabolism and distribution of drugs. The practical challenges and opportunities are also discussed in this new field, emphasizing the needs to translate human data into clinical veterinary practice. In summary pharmacomicrobiomics, the interaction between gut microbiota and drug response, may be a promising research field to improve the outcomes of drug effects in patients.

Published: April 2024

3-Methoxybutyl acetate is an organic solvent used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications, such as coatings, adhesives, chemical intermediates, paints, and washing products. We conducted an acute inhalation toxicity study of 3-Methoxybutyl acetate using an inhalation exposure system (nose-only) in Sprague-Dawley rats. Male and female rats were exposed to 3-Methoxybutyl acetate for 4 h/day. The tests were conducted according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals (OECD TG) 436. The analytical concentrations of the exposure chamber were 9.76 ± 0.51 mg/L. Clinical signs, mean body weight changes, and gross necropsy results were observed. No deaths, abnormal clinical signs, gross findings at necropsy, or abnormal mean body weight changes related to exposure to the test substance were observed in either sex. Based on these results, we suggested that 3-Methoxybutyl acetate does not have acute toxic effects at the technically acceptable concentration of 10 mg/L.

Role of Society in National Consciousness
Authors: Kavita Kanojia
Published: April 2024

The role of society in national consciousness is very important. Society influences the interest, organization and status of a nation. Stability, support and partnership of society play an important role in building national consciousness. It establishes the nation's identity and self-respect and promotes prosperity and equality. The emergence of national consciousness in the nineteenth century was actually the result of the British rule. The changes made by the British rule in the political, economic and social fields, which resulted in the exploitation of the Indian society, it is true that the rise and development of nationalism in India is more as compared to other countries. It happened with difficulty. Contemporary modern educated intellectuals like Raja Rammohan Roy, Keshavchandra Sen, Ishwarbandra Vidyasagar, Swami Vivekananda Environt, Sir Syed Ahmed etc. tried to eradicate the evils prevalent in the society and became strong critics of the British policy. And by influencing the Indian public with his thoughts and actions, he awakened a sense of self-confidence in them. In the year 1883-54, postal system was established in Marath, railway lines were laid, all the cities were connected by telegraph system, connecting one province to another, there was an opportunity to establish contact with the people living in remote places. This was the beginning of Indian nationalism. Became the main reason for the rise. A sense of solidarity emerged among Indians during the anti-imperialist struggle. The presented research paper investigates these facts.

Published: April 2024

In Indian society, the role of women in the home is important, but it is also important for women to have a sense of independence and a place in society. Education plays an important role in empowering women, making them capable and intelligent. However, excessive independence among educated women can lead to challenges, especially in rural settings. After marriage, women have to adapt to new family expectations, which may limit their freedom. Educated women may feel constrained in rural, uneducated environments, affecting their freedom of expression.

Published: April 2024

ABSTRACT Considering the indispensable role of reduviid predators in ecofriendly pest management programme, the relationship between a predatory reduviid, Rhynocoris fuscipes, and three prey species viz., red cotton bug Dysdercus koenigii Fab. (Heteroptera: Pyrrhocoridae), cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis (Tinsley) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and rice flour moth Corcyra cephalonica Stainton (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), were scrutinized and studied to determine the influence of host species on biology, host stage preference and biological control efficiency under laboratory conditions. Rhynocoris fuscipes completed nymphal stage in 41 days when feeding on C. cephalonica, 45 on D. koenigii, and 50 days on P. solenopsis. Adult longevity, fecundity and egg viability were higher in C. cephalonica fed category and the lowest on P. solenopsis. Life table parameters were in favor of C. cephalonica. Third instars of D. koenigii were favored by third and fourth instars of the predator. Fifth instars and adults of the predator had chosen fourth and fifth instars of D. koenigii, respectively. All instars of predator preyed on adults of P. solenopsis. It is observed that the reduviid responded to increased D. koenigii and P. solenopsis density with type II functional response. Positive interactions distinctly imply that there is a salutary effect on the pest as well.

Published: April 2024

Pepper plants treated with the same Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) showed no signs and symptoms of disease, in contrast to plants treated with these compounds as a control, which was thought to act as an inhibitory start to the viral infection. This resistance was sparked by the pepper plants' exposure to the TMV virus. Furthermore, the ELISA test findings indicated a wave reaction based on the yellow color that developed in the ELISA plate wells containing the extracts of pepper plants that have been treated with Ganoderma lucidum extract. When compared to the control treatment, which is infected with the virus alone, the wave absorption amount at 405 nm was 0.296 nm, indicating that the highest percentage of virus duplication occurred (69%) after the second week of the G. lucidum treatment and before six days of infection. On the other hand, 58% of the virus was duplicated when the G. lucidum extract was sprayed three days prior to the virus infection, and the wave absorption value was 0.404 nm. The values of wave absorption following splashing with the same extract were 0.612 and 0.598 after three and six days of virus infection, respectively, and the percentages of virus duplication were 37 and 38%. Lastly, it should be emphasized that, rather than using chemical pesticides that are unsafe to use against the causes of plant diseases, more research must be done in the future regarding the extraction of these anti-viral plant extracts as well as extracts of naturally occurring substances that are environmentally friendly.

ABSTRACT The in vitro efficacy of different aqueous extracts of vermicompost prepared from leaves of Azardirachta indica, Lantana camera, Parthenium hysterophorous were tested for the management of the pathogen. Vermicompost was prepared by mixing the respective substrates with cow dung slurry (9:1 ratio w/w) independently. Among the three aqueous extracts, vermicomposted neem was found to be superior to that of vermicomposted Lantana and Parthenium in suppression of growth of X.campestris. Based on the results of the in vitro studies field studies were taken up as a combination of seed treatment with vermicompost extract and soil application of vermicompost. The seeds of tomato were soaked for one hrs in different aqueous extracts of vermicomposts before sowing. The seedlings were raised in separate nursery beds of size 1m x 1m to which vermicompost was applied at the rate of 5 tons ha-1. From the nursery beds seedlings were transplanted to plots and each plant received 250g of vermicompost (spot application) in two split doses. Since the aqueous extract of vermicomposted neem showed better suppression of the pathogen in in vitro studies, the same vermicompost was used for soil application. The results showed that the best treatment for suppression of bacterial spot in tomato was seed treatment (1 h) with 10% aqueous extract of vermicomposted neem coupled with application of vermicomposted neem to the soil both during sowing as well as on transplantation. This treatment reduced the incidence of bacterial spot by 98% and resulted in maximum yield of 15.4 t ha-1. Bioagent like aqueous extract of vermicomposted neem along with the soil amendment with the same vermicompost is essential for the management of the pathogen in affected soils. Use of such alternate materials which are non-polluting, cost effective, non hazardous and do not disturb ecological balance can reduce the use of copper based bactericides, leading to elimination of copper entry into the soil system.

ABSTRACT Chickpea, (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important pulse crop world-wide. There are many constraints in the production of the crop, of which pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera Hubner is the notorious one which causes both quantitative and qualitative loss. Therefore, an experiment was conducted during rabi 2012-13 to evaluate different biorational based IPM packages viz., IPM package 1 (P1) comprising pheromone trapping of H. armigera along with sequential release of biocontrol agents (Trichograma evanescens @ gm/ha/week + Bracon hebetor @ 1 jar (1000-1200 adults)/ha/week) and spraying of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) @ 0.4g/ litre of water; IPM package 2 (P2) consists of pheromone trapping in addition to sequential release of bio-control agents and spraying of Helicoverpa nuclear polyhedrosis virus (HNPV) @ 0.1g/litre of water against this pest attacking chickpea. Results indicate that the IPM package (P2) revealed the best performance reducing 68.20% pod damage over control and provided significantly the highest yield (1832.20kg/ha). Consequently, the highest benefit cost ratio (BCR) (2.11) was also recorded from this package. Hence, biocontrol agent release along with installation of sex pheromone traps and spraying of HNPV may be recommended for effective management of pod borer attacking chickpea.

Authors:   Department of Plant Pathology, Faculty of Agriculture, Kasetsart University, Bangkok 10900, Thailand., Singburaudom Narong
Published: April 2024

Ethanol crude extract of Piper betel Linn. (Piperaceae) leaves were tested under in vitro for antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi in economic crops. It exhibited 100 percent inhibition against all tested plant pathogenic fungi at a concentration of 1 % using the dilution method whereas inhibition was evident at 10% when tested by the diffusion method. The results suggested that crude extract exhibited fungistasis activity by inhibiting mycelial growth, and fungicidal activity by inhibiting spore germination. Fractionation of crude extract by column chromatography eluted with 51 solvent combination systems of increased polarity yielded 51 micro fractions which were tested for inhibition activity against plant pathogenic fungi in vitro. The micro fractions F4, F5, F7 and F8 showed antifungal activity and the TLC chromatogram indicated the common compounds were contained in these four fractions. Further re-fractionation of the most active fractions, F7 and F8 were eluted with mixture of petroleum ether and chloroform and tested for antifungal activity. The 21 submicro fractions of PE: CHCl3 at ratio of 40:60 to 32:68 exhibited antifungal activity with the same results as in the former experiment. The TLC chromatograms indicated the presence of the like compounds and it is suggested that the active compounds might be contained in these sub micro fractions of PE: CHCl3. The dosage response curve indicated a positive linear relationship between concentrations and the level of antifungal activity. NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance) spectroscopy was conducted to elucidate the chemical structure of the active compound contained in the fractions F7 and F8 which was identified as hydroxychavicol. The study concluded that hydroxychavicol in the crude extract from P. betel leaves is an active constituent against plant pathogenic fungi.

Published: April 2024

The active involvement of the population in health initiatives is crucial to combating Covid-19, especially in vulnerable urban communities. In these areas, the absence of detailed geographic data is a challenge for effective spatial interventions. This study proposes a solution that implements a gamification design model to support participation in disease combat initiatives through participatory mapping and crowdsourcing approaches. The UTAUT was employed to identify conditions influencing the solution's acceptance. A study involving 20 young individuals from a suburban community in Brazil demonstrated that "effort expectancy" and "social influence" significantly impact the behavioral intention to use the platform.

Authors: Schulz-Nieswandt Frank
Published: April 2024

Micrological studies in qualitative social research as praxeology generate empirical findings on the ‘how’ of social practices, which, however, can only explain their significance as social problems beyond pure empiricism if they are measured against the normative standards of the juridical substance of a critical theory grounded in the philosophy of law and ethics. How this dialogical correspondence becomes possible is developed in this study. The tertium comparationis are the stories written by the everyday lives of people who are embedded in their grammar of dependency. Despite all differences, critical science is then to be understood in comparison to existential art and the hermeneutics of myth.
Optimization of TLPS Bonding Process and Joint Property using Ni-Sn Paste for High Temperature Power Module Applications
Authors: Han Da-Gyeong , Lee Dong-Hwan , Yoon Jeong-Won
Published: April 2024

Recently, as interest in eco-friendly vehicles such as electric and hybrid vehicles increases, the demand for power semiconductors, a key component, is also increasing. Power semiconductors convert, distribute, and control power and operate in harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure. In order to ensure stable reliability in such harsh environments, research on a technology that can stably form joints even at high temperatures is essential. Transitional liquid phase (TLP) bonding was proposed as a high-temperature power semiconductor chip bonding technology, which has the advantage of forming an intermetallic compound (IMC) phase with a high melting point at the joint. However, it takes a long time to convert the joint into full IMC phase. Therefore, in this study, in order to shorten the process time, a paste was manufactured by mixing high-melting point Ni metal powder and low-melting point Sn metal power, and a joint was formed through a TLPS (Transition liquid phase sintering) bonding using the paste. Pastes of different compositions were prepared by adjusting the ratio of Ni and Sn powders. The chip and substrate were bonded through a thermocompression (TC) bonding process, and the highest shear strength was obtained at a bonding temperature of 250 ℃ for 10 min. Heat treatment was performed at 200 ℃ for up to 500 h to evaluate the high temperature long-term reliability of the joints. The Ni-Sn TLPS bonded joints remained reliable joints after a long-term aging test at a high temperature of 200 ℃.
THE WORLD PRACTICE OF CERTIFICATION OF UNIVERSITY GRADUATES ACCORDING TO INTERNATIONAL PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
Authors:   Esil University, Taubayev A.
Published: April 2024

The purpose of this article, using the example of the partnership of Esil University and Chartered Management Institute, is to describe the prospects for promoting the National Qualification System in Kazakhstan based on international standards. Methods of comparative analysis of the international practice of professional certification of managers were used in the preparation of the article. As the main results of the study, it can be noted that modern universities, acting as key participants in the labor market, as the main suppliers of qualified personnel, as feedback from employers constantly receive complaints about the poor quality of training in the higher education system and their inconsistency with the constantly changing requirements of the labor market. This is not only Kazakhstan's realities, but also a modern and global trend. In this regard, Kazakhstani entrepreneurs have different attitudes to the idea of introducing a unified system of certification of specialists, as they do not have a proper understanding of the advantages represented by professional certification. Their general attitude to the short-term development of business and the desire to minimize the costs of its maintenance give rise to a number of problems, the roots of which go into the misunderstanding by the heads of enterprises themselves that in order to create a stable business, a clear system of uniform standards is needed not only in the field of tax, legal and sanitary regulatory requirements, but also in the field of professional standards, which set the general logic of the work and development of each organization and enterprise, solve the problem of staff turnover and lack of corporate interest. This is a global trend, and the Kazakh labor market will also inevitably come to reorganize approaches to training and hiring personnel in line with modern trends in the system logic of a single professional model.

The article is devoted to current issues of digitalization of legal education. Today, big changes are taking place aimed at modernizing the training of graduates in demand in society. Digitalization processes have a serious impact on the development of professions. Now new tools and technologies have appeared, but the key role of humans in personnel training is not denied. The article raises the question of the problems of digitalization of legal education, which, according to the authors, should take into account the characteristics of the legal profession as a profession of a socionomic type. When preparing a future lawyer, the authors believe, a reasonable compromise between digital and traditional technologies will make him competitive in the labor market. The article uses methods of collecting information, its transmission and exchange, as well as methods of comparative analysis and evaluation. The purpose of the article is to study the process of the influence of digital technologies on the training of lawyers and to identify modern approaches to training, developing competencies and obtaining the necessary skills to increase the competitiveness of graduates in the labor market.

Fabrication of PANI coating and Cu coating on the surface of AH36 shipbuilding structural steel was carried out by electrochemical method. PANI was electropolymerized onto AH36 surface in an aqueous solution of 0.5 M oxalic acid containing 0.1 M anilines. The process was conducted by cyclic voltammetry (CV) under a potential window of -0.5÷1.6 V at a scan rate of 10 mV/s with scans of 3, 5 and 8, respectively. The electrochemical deposition of Cu particles onto the AH36 surface was performed using chronoamperometry (CA) in a solution containing 0.3 M NaOH, 0.15 M EDTA, and 0.02 M CuSO4 at pH 8 and a constant applied potential of -1.1 V for 180s, 360s and 720s, respectively. SEM, FT-IR showed that the PANI coating with complex binding components characterizes the structure with diverse redox states while creating an amorphous, porous structure on the surface. Meanwhile, SEM, XRD, EDS spectra showed that the Cu plating has a particle structure, densely layered and pure on the steel substrate. The OCP trend and the polarization curve showed that both coatings protect the steel from corrosion by shift the potential of the coated material to a value where the kinetics of corrosion of the underlying metal are lowerred. Under the survey conditions, the PANI coating has a corrosion protection efficiency of up to about 31.9% while the Cu coating -66.9%.

A Pilgrim’s View of Communication: Pathways to a Meaningful Politics
Authors: Archer Harry , Bradney Matthew ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

The pilgrim’s view is a foundational lens on human communication that operates as an alternative to information centered models and symbolic constitutive views of communication. We draw together thinkers on pilgrimage in a discussion that foregrounds the significance of shared paths as embodied narratives in a movement towards justice and the good life. Such a vision for communication engages with and builds upon the work of the Rev. James W. Carey in his conceptualization of a ritual view of communication that explicitly addresses religious community. A concept of pilgrimage is emboldened in this essay by recourse to theologians, most notably William T. Cavanaugh.
A Persian Preacher’s Westward Migration
Authors: Miron Layli Maria ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

During her brief life in the early nineteenth century, the Persian poet and theologian Táhirih advocated for a spiritual revolution. Authorities executed her for heresy in 1852. After death, Táhirih attracted admirers around the world; Western writers—especially women—have interpreted her history to argue for gender equality, religious renewal, and global interdependence. This Middle Eastern preacher has established a posthumous pulpit in the United States, as members of the Bahá’í Faith there have authored a dozen books about her. After introducing Táhirih’s rhetorical rebellions, this essay demonstrates her transnational influence by analyzing her afterlives in U.S. Bahá’í discourse.
Mindfulness Beyond Self-Help
Authors: Sayrak Inci Ozum ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This paper grounds the popular discussions of mindfulness in the U.S. that frame it as a self-help technique in the primary discourses of the Buddha, and cautions against an appropriation of mindfulness as an individualistic and a pragmatic tool. Specifically, I focus on the Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta (The Foundations of Mindfulness) that is part of the “long collection,” Digha Nikaya (DN), which includes a detailed discussion of the four noble truths and the noble eightfold path that explore the problem of suffering and liberation from suffering in human experience. The noble eightfold path offers a framework for the systematic training of mental faculties through three groups that are interrelated: virtue, concentration, and discernment. Mindfulness is part of the concentration group, which is part of a training that equally emphasizes virtue (moral discipline) and wisdom (discernment). Finally, I discuss communicative and epistemological implications of mindfulness discourses that present ways of knowing and beingin-the-world beyond self-centeredness.
Communicating as though Connected
Authors: Clark Kathleen D. ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This essay explores human-divine communicating as though it were between beings who are already connected. Such a reframing is suggested by recent research in human-divine communication, Christian contemplative non-dualistic attending and acting, the study of spirituality and pedagogy from a communication disciplinary angle, and non-linguistic means of communicating from studies using the ethnography of communication. From the perspective of a contemplative Christian spiritual director as well as a communication scholar, the concepts of contemplation, dialogue, interbeing, and connectedness are considered toward an expanded conceptualization of human-divine communication. The essay concludes with a series of questions and reflections highlighting the possibilities of communication research with such a reframing, including suggestions for future research.
Religious Talk at Work
Authors: Charoensap-Kelly Piyawan , Mestayer Colleen , Knight G. Brandon ,   Religious Communication Association
Published: April 2024

This qualitative study investigated how individuals managed their religious identity at work. Christians, non-Christians, and non-religious (n = 320) from across the United States took an online, open-ended questionnaire. Rich information emerged from the data concerning the why and how of religious disclosure, what happened after disclosure, and what strategies should be used for the most positive disclosure outcomes. The findings suggested a religiously respectful culture depends on its individual members’ communicative practices. Religious conversations in the workplace were possible so long as individuals knew how to do so appropriately and effectively. Practical implications including best religious communication practices for employees and organizations were provided.
