Understanding Older Canadian Workers’ Perspectives on Aging in the Context of Communication and Knowledge Transfer
Authors: de Blois Sarah , Lagacé Martine 
Published: February 2018

Background The Canadian population is aging, as is the Canadian workforce, resulting in an increase in different generations working with one another. The current study aims at understanding, from the older worker’s point of view, generational perceptions in the workplace, and further how such perceptions are linked with communication patterns as well as knowledge transfer. Analysis This study collected 167 responses from a survey of older workers. The questionnaire addressed variables under study such as intergenerational perceptions, and workplace communication and collaboration patterns. Conclusion and implications Results suggest that older workers perceived that their younger peers view them positively. Furthermore, older workers rely on accommodative communication patterns and favor knowledge transfer when interacting with younger colleagues.
Fuel as a Factor in Canadian Transport: Energy Capital and Communication Theory
Authors: Greaves Matthew 
Published: February 2018

Background Established in 1849, the Fort Rupert coal settlement represented a departure in the Hudson’s Bay Company’s mode of colonial wealth accumulation on Vancouver Island. Company officials failed, however, to appreciate basic differences in the new mode of accumulation, including the importance of transportation to capitalist mineral extraction.Analysis This article accomplishes three things: it retrieves foundational theories of transportation and commodity circulation once popular in communication studies, provides a documentary account of coal mining and the coal trade in the mid-nineteenth-century eastern Pacific, and articulates a theory of capitalist energy consumption.Conclusion and implications The culminating theory of energy capital positions the extraction and circulation of fuel within Canadian communication studies through a transportation-focused approach to communication.
Rethinking the Cultural Icon: Its Use and Function in Popular Culture
Authors: Truman Emily 
Published: February 2018

Background The role of cultural icons in twenty-first century North American popular culture has been under-theorized in communication scholarship. This is a significant gap in knowledge, given the importance of the icon as a public text through which collective cultural values are symbolized. Analysis Using the novel approach of the scoping review, this article illuminates the current landscape of iconic studies by identifying wide-ranging examples of the cultural icon from academic scholarship, recognizing organizational categories, and synthesizing existing definitions to highlight the limits of current conceptualizations. Conclusions and Implications Informed by the collected data, this article suggests a redefinition of the cultural icon that considers its current novel role in revealing tensions between different articulations of collective cultural values.
Negotiating What Constitutes Depression: Focus Group Conversations in Response to Viewing Direct-to-Consumer Advertisements for Antidepressants
Authors: Babineau Christine , McMullen Linda , Downe Pamela 
Published: February 2018

Background Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements for medication communicate a distinct image of illness and have the potential to shape how we understand what constitutes illness.Analysis The purpose of this study was to explore discursive patterns in how women interact with the messages related to depression in DTC television advertisements for antidepressants. We conducted six focus groups of 1 to 2 hours, with 4 to 6 female participants per group. Within each group, participants viewed and discussed 2 to 3 DTC advertisements.Conclusions and implications Using discourse analysis to explore how the women engaged with the messages in the advertisements, we show how participants reclaimed what constitutes “normal” and “depression” and often positioned the ads as falling short in their presentations of these categories.Keywords Antidepressants; Discourse analysis; Advertisement; DepressionContexte La publicité directe au consommateur (PDC) sur les médicaments véhicule une image particulière de la maladie qui peut infléchir notre avis sur ce qu’est celle-ci.Analyse L’objectif de cette étude était d’explorer des structures discursives relatives à la manière dont les femmes perçoivent les messages sur la dépression communiqués par des PDC sur les antidépresseurs. Pour ce faire, nous avons mené six groupes de discussion d’une à deux heures comptant 4 à 6 femmes par groupe. Au sein de chaque groupe, les participantes ont regardé et commenté 2 ou 3 PDC.Conclusion et implications Nous avons effectué une analyse du discours afin d’explorer la manière dont les femmes interprètent les messages des PDC. Nous montrons comment les participantes se sont accordées sur le sens de « normal » et de « dépression » tout en percevant les PDC comme inadéquats dans leur présentation de ces concepts.Mots clés Antidépresseurs; Analyse du discours; Publicité; Dépression

Language evolution post stroke in newborn and infant age
Authors: Sandu Magdalena , Sterea Ramona , Teleanu Raluca Ioana 
Published: February 2018

Perinatal stroke is defined as a vascular cerebral injury that takes place before the age of 28 days, and it usually includes the in utero periode. The vascular lesion can, however, happen even in infancy, due to various causes. Stroke has a lower incidence at infant age, but a higher rate of recognition due to the more obvious clinical manifestations. The incidence of stroke reaches 1/3000 children, with long-term consequences on motility, predisposition to epileptic seizures, communication skills and learning ability. Pediatric stroke implies large costs in order to rehabilitate and reintegrate the child socially. This paper aims to analize the evolution of language at a distant point in time, after the occurrence of the injury, with cases from our clinical experience.

Published: February 2018

Introduction. The primitive malignant melanoma of nasal mucosa and paranasal sinus is a rare tumor of uncertain etiology, with unpredictable biologic behavior and bad prognosis. Unlike skin melanomas, there are no risk factors and the disease is frequently manifested in older patients, whose clinical otorhinolaryngology complaints are normally non-specific and ranges from nasal obstruction to rhinorrhea and epistaxis. Unfortunately, this disease is diagnosed basically in advanced stages which makes the surgery difficult. Objective. To report a case of primitive malignant melanoma of nasal mucosa, ethmoid and frontal sinuses, that was diagnosed in 2015. It was performed a subtotal resection in another hospital in 24.08.2015, with a large local reccurence. Report. Our patient was a 78-year-old woman with bilateral nasal obstruction, light epistaxis and unilateral rhinorrhea. The ENT, CT and MRI exams showed a tumour with important, invasion of the nasal cavity structures (billateral nasal bones, left frontal process of the maxilla, the superior midpoint of the nasal septum, bilateral middle and superior turbinates, left ethmoid and bilateral frontal sinuses). The patient was submited for surgery: total macroscopic resection in the combined endoscopic approach; transnasal and modified lateral rhinotomy with titaniul plates reconstruction of the external nose architecture. Conclusions. Malignant melanomas of nasal mucosa are, in general, diagnosed in advanced stages. Their histological characteristics in the mucosa makes difficult the surgical treatment, which is one of the most efficient options, because they are resistant to chemo and radiotherapy. The early diagnosis and a good surgical treatment plan are the best option for this tumor nowadays.
Giant thyroid tumours - therapeutic difficulties
Authors: Vrînceanu Daniela , Axinte V. , Bănică Bogdan 
Published: February 2018

Introduction. Thyroid tumors are a borderline pathology approached equally by endocrine surgeons, ENT surgeons, thorax surgeons or general surgeons. The cooperation with the endocrinologist is mandatory in preoperative balance sheet, but also in postoperative treatment. The large size of a thyroid tumor (over 10 cm) causes a big surgical risk and a special preoperative preparation. Material and method. We present two cases of giant thyroid tumors: an anaplastic carcinoma developed on a papillary carcinoma and a medullar carcinoma. We present our therapeutic options for every single case, including the surgical treatment in mixed team with thorax surgeon‚ “long time hard surgery”. In one case we performed intubation on bronchoscope to avoid tracheotomy, and in the other case we made preoperative embolization. Results. The immediate therapeutic result depends on team work with thoracic surgeon, with the endocrinologist and intensive care specialist. The final therapeutic result depends on complex oncological treatment, but also on clinical and endocrine supervision. Discussions. The decision to operate a giant thyroid tumor had to put in balance risks and benefits maybe more than in other types of head and neck tumors because of the major intraoperative risk of bleeding and of bilateral injury of recurrent nerves. Conclusions. The surgical indication must be assessed judiciously. Preoperative (endocrine and general) complete clinical balance is indispensable. The surgical intervention has to be well prepared by both patient and surgeon. Effective therapeutic result depends on the interdisciplinary collaboration and on patient compliance to treatment.
Melatonin in pediatric neurology
Authors: Teleanu Raluca Ioana , Sandu Magdalena , Roza Eugenia 
Published: February 2018

Melatonin is a hormone produced by the pineal gland during the night, as a response to the light-darkness variation. The endogenous melatonin levels have a cyclic evolution throughout the entire life. Various roles have been cited such as the in utero developement of the fetus through its action on the placenta, neurons and glial cells, a major role in the regulation of the cyrcadian rhythm, antioxidative, antiinflammatory roles, as well as celullar and umoral immunity modulation. In the European Union, exogenous melatonin has been evaluated by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) for reducing sleep onset latency and the conclusion was that it has efficacy studies in this regard.

Authors: Ghofur Abd 
Published: February 2018

Abstract: This paper aims to describe the use of media in science learning in terms of three indicators, namely: a) diffusion of innovation, b) implementation and institutionalization, and c) policies and regulations. This research was conducted for four months using qualitative descriptive design with data collection technique through questionnaire, interview, and observation. The subjects of the study were class VII on MTs Putra Putri Lamongan and MTs Maslakul Huda Paciran selected by purposive sampling. The results showed that science teachers in Islamic schools utilize various media of learning in the form of visual and audiovisual media designed as a medium of teaching science, for example LCD projector, props, etc. In addition, teachers also develop their own simple media designed to be utilized in science teaching, such as cloth, water, soil, and so forth. Technically, teachers are documenting the use of instructional media in the Lesson Plans (RPP) which refer to the 2013- curriculum format , but the RPP is not always brought during the learning process. In addition, school policy does not provide written regulations for teachers to use the media in the learning process. Keywords: the use of media, science teaching Abstrak: Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan pemanfaatan media dalam pembelajaran sains yang ditinjau dari tiga indikator, yakni a) difusi inovasi, b) implementasi dan pelembagaan, serta c) kebijakan dan regulasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan selama empat bulan menggunakan rancangan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui angket, wawancara, dan observasi. Subyek penelitian adalah kelas VII pada MTs Putra Putri Lamongan dan MTs Maslakul Huda Paciran yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa guru sains di sekolah Islam memanfaatkan ragam media pembelajaran dalam bentuk media visual dan audio visual yang didesain sebagai media pembelajaran sains, misal LCD proyektor, alat peraga, dll. Selain itu, guru juga mengembangkan media sederhana sendiri yang didesain untuk dimanfaatkan dalam pembelajaran sains, misalnya kain, air, tanah, dan lain sebagainya. Secara teknis, guru mendokumentasikan pemanfaatan media pembelajaran tersebut dalam Rencana Pelaksanaan Pembelajaran (RPP) yang mengacu format Kurikulum 2013, namun RPP tersebut tidak selalu dibawa saat proses pembelajaran. Selain itu, kebijakan sekolah tidak memberikan regulasi secara tertulis untuk guru melakukan pemanfaatan media dalam proses pembelajaran. Kata Kunci: pemanfaatan media, pembelajaran sains
