Published: November 2022

Among the scientific methodologies used to measure the Science, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) is considered a very useful means to assess the quality of the networks established by the Science. The SNA offers the possibility of simulating the relationships established by different factors, such as the scientific collaboration, the analysis of subjects, or the relationships of scientific journals. The Arts & Humanities Citation Reports (A&HCI) and Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) databases of the Web of Science (WoS) have been selected as sources of information. From these databases, we analyze the behavior presented by the 550 journals classified in the different thematic categories of literature. It is proven that the current interdisciplinarity in literature results from collaboration with 11 other scientific branches, among which linguistics and history stand out.

Authors: Ostapenko Liudmyla 
Published: November 2022

On February 24, 2022, the life of Ukrainians and the world was divided into "BEFORE" and "AFTER" the beginning of russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, changing everything, including the scientific field.
The poster shows the challenges Ukrainian publishers faced during the war, using the example of Business Perspectives, a company that publishes 13 academic journals based in the city of Sumy, in eastern Ukraine.
Data are given on the occupation and destruction of educational institutions in the country, which led to the departure abroad or internal displacement of many researchers.
The support of Ukrainian colleagues from the world publishing community is emphasized.

Objective: Epidemiologic studies and randomized clinical trials demonstrate that type 2 diabetes can be substantially avoided by making dietary and lifestyle changes rather than relying heavily on medications. This study evaluates the ameliorating effect(s) of Telfairia occidentalis seed administration on the histology of the Hypothalamus and testosterone level in normal and Alloxan-induced diabetes in Wistar rats.
Methods: Twenty male Wistar rats, weighing between 120-180 g, were divided into five groups of 4 rats each. Groups 1 and 2 representing Normal Control (NC) and Diabetic Control (DC) received only feed and water. Group 3 normal rats received 300 mg/kg Telfairia occidentalis seed extract; groups 4 and 5 received 50 mg/kg of Metformin and 300 mg/kg of Telfairia occidentalis seed extract respectively.
Results: The result revealed that the administration of Telfairia occidentalis seed extract moderately increased the body weight (16.76±1.75%) significantly at (P<0.05) when compared to normal control (14.06±2.93%) and diabetes significant decrease (-27.68±1.92%) body weight when compared to metformin-treated (-6.11±1.85%) and extract (-5.33±2.18%). The levels of FBG with the extract (60.70±4.88%) and metformin (61.24±6.19%) significantly decreased at (p<0.05) when compared to diabetic control (-64.78±12.51%).The FSH and LH level significantly increased at (p<0.05). Histological changes were also seen in animals of the treated groups.
Conclusion: It is evident that Telfairia occidentalis seed extract contains anti-hyperglycemic agents capable of lowering blood glucose levels.

Aim: Fresh chicken meat is especially susceptible to surface contamination. The researchers are looking into non-thermal and non-chemical preservation techniques for meat. Therefore, the present study was planned to investigate the use of UV-C light for the decontamination of raw chicken carcasses at refrigeration temperature (0-4OC).
Study Design: The study was undertaken in two phases wherein, the first phase standardization of UV dose and later the comparative effect of selected UV light and sodium hypochlorite exposure on the shelf life of poultry carcasses (0-4OC) was carried out.
Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was performed in the Department of Veterinary Public Health, Poultry and Goat Processing Unit, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Parbhani (MH) India, from October 2021 to April 2022.
Methodology: We performed the microbial, physicochemical, and sensory (odour) evaluation of the chicken carcasses during storage up to 72 hrs. Amongst various UV doses with different exposure times and distances tested, UV-C light exposure generated 233.86, 103.93, 207.87, and 415.75 mJ/cm2 energy for various groups.
Results: A microbial analysis in a standardization study revealed that a significantly (p<0.05) lower total viable count was observed in UV (415.75 mJ/cm2) group. Similarly, counts of Staphylococcus spp. and E. coli were significantly (p<0.05) lower in UV-C light (207.87 mJ/cm2 and 415.75 mJ/cm2) groups. The shelf-life analysis indicated that UV-C light (415.75 mJ/cm2) and sodium hypochlorite (50 ppm) were equally effective in reducing the microflora of carcasses. The pH and TBA values of both treatment groups did not differ significantly but an increasing trend was recorded for peroxide and tyrosine values throughout the storage period.
Conclusion: The findings of the present study indicate that UV-C light technology may be applied for surface decontamination of raw chicken carcasses.
COMFORT Palliative Care Curriculum
Authors: Platt Christine 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Although quality, patient‐centered care has been identified as necessary to the delivery of palliative care, most palliative care communication guidelines are grounded in medicine and lack a theoretical foundation or evidence base. Based on over a decade of palliative care research by its founders, the COMFORT model is the first theoretically grounded, evidence‐based curriculum uniquely designed for teaching palliative care communication through incorporating communication theory into clinical research. Patient‐centered, COMFORT is theoretically grounded in the narrative medicine movement and health literacy. The acronym COMFORT represents the seven principles of palliative care communication: C – Connect, O – Options, M – Making Meaning, F – Family Caregivers, O – Openings, R – Relating, and T – Team. The COMFORT Project has taught the COMFORT model curriculum to over 10,000 healthcare professionals globally. By providing palliative care communication tools, resources and curriculum, the COMFORT Project serves healthcare providers, patients, families, community health providers, health literacy professionals, and health communication scholars.
Celebrity Influence
Authors: Francis Diane B. , Adams Madison 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Celebrity influence is the ability of a prominent person or public figure to impact a noncelebrity's beliefs and behaviors. Two areas of celebrity influence within health communication are health disclosures and celebrity‐based appeals. Celebrity health disclosures are public disclosures of a celebrity's illness or death. Celebrity appeals are messages that feature a celebrity to advocate for a health issue or behavior. No singular theory explains celebrity influence. Nevertheless, several theoretical concepts are associated with celebrity influence.
Message Design: Figurative Language
Authors: Burgers Christian 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Figurative language is a form of non‐literal language that consists of two subtypes: (i) schemes like alliteration and rhyme that focus on excessive regularity and (ii) tropes like metaphor and irony which emphasize irregularity. In the classical perspective, figurative language was mainly seen as an ornamental packaging cue, by presenting a literal statement in a more attention‐grabbing way. The contemporary perspective on figuration acknowledges that rhetorical devices like metaphor, hyperbole, and irony can also contain conceptual content and serve as frames. Such figurative frames can serve various communicative goals, including sensemaking and behavior change. In terms of sensemaking, figurative frames can make complex and abstract health issues more concrete and easier to understand. This can occur in a variety of settings, such as health campaigns, illness narratives, and health policies. Figurative frames can be used for sensemaking in empowering and disempowering ways. In the latter case, figurative frames may be explicitly resisted or actively reframed. In health campaigns, figurative language can be used for behavior change. In such cases, the figurative devices are often novel and creative, and present recipients with a small puzzle to solve. Solving this puzzle can generate positive feelings, which can transfer to the campaign message. In some cases, using figuration in health campaigns can backfire, for instance when recipients do not understand or incorrectly interpret the figurative message. Figurative language thus has an important potential in health communication, but this message strategy can also lead to resistance and unintended consequences.
Intersectionality (Gender)
Authors: Francis Diane B. , Adams Madison 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Intersectionality is a critical theoretical framework for understanding how overlapping systems of power and oppression at the societal level interact with identity dimensions at the individual level further to disadvantage people from historically and socially marginalized groups. Today, intersectionality has moved beyond its roots in legal theory and analysis and is becoming a critical framework to understand and address global health inequities. Many health communication scholars conduct research with populations with intersecting social identities. Yet, health communication studies that reflect intersectionality in their theoretical frameworks, design, or interpretations are rare. While there are theoretical and methodological challenges to an intersectional approach to health communication, the advantages of intersectionality for health communication theory, research, and practice on research abound.
Stress, Appraisal, and Coping Theory
Authors: Wolf Bianca M. , Fisher Carla L. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The theoretical contributions of Lazarus and Folkman have been foundational in the stress, appraisal, and coping scholarship for many decades. This entry provides a brief overview of their transactional theory which highlights the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes that individuals experience when faced with stimuli that are appraised as stressful and potentially harmful to one's well‐being. The theory brings to the forefront how this appraisal informs one's response to the stimuli. Gaps and critiques of the transactional theory are noted and a brief review of subsequent research addressing these theoretical constructs, including later work from Folkman and others advancing this theoretical foundation, is also offered. This includes highlighting current trends in the consideration of both positivity and negativity associated with stress and appraisals, future‐oriented proactive or health preventative behaviors, as well as relationally enacted coping processes. Relational and family scholars have emphasized the ways that stress, appraisal, and coping are enacted as joint ventures in collective and communal contexts and have further suggested that communal coping in and of itself is health promoting. Suggestions for future research are offered, including continued development and delineation among psychological, behavioral, and communicative conceptualizations and measurements of stress, appraisal, and coping.
Communication Skills Education for Medical Students
Authors: Longtin Krista , Imhausen‐Slaughter Darla 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Teaching communication skills to medical students is a critical component of medical education, since it is through discourse that care is often provided to patients. Advancements in communication skills training in the early 2000s added a theoretical basis and framework to these important education tasks. Communication skills education is usually required by accrediting bodies and includes both communication behaviors and goals for medical students. Medical educators have struggled to effectively assess students' communication skills since the assessment of these skills can be seen as subjective and situational. Recent developments in communication skills education for medical students have included incorporating more technology and other disciplines within the field.
Managed Care
Authors: Lammers John C. , Bryan Ann L. 
Published: November 2022

“Managed care” refers to systems for delivering medical care that attempt to control costs and improve quality by monitoring how clinicians treat illnesses, limiting referrals to specialists, and requiring payors' authorization prior to hospitalization and other specialized treatments. These systems have grown since the 1960s, when the US federal government launched the Medicaid and Medicare programs. The term may be considered a rhetorical ideograph, for it describes an ideology of healthcare organization, operating as a slogan as much as a descriptor. Commonly recognized organizational forms associated with managed care include health maintenance organization, preferred provider organizations, and accountable care organizations. Health and organizational communication researchers have studied how managed care changed the ways that clinicians worked together and communicated with each other. Researchers have also documented how managed care organizations have come to dominate the healthcare landscape of the United States while failing to limit cost increases, compared to other countries. Both clinicians and nurses have expressed various degrees of dissatisfaction with working under managed care rules. Managed care has not facilitated access to care by members of lower socioeconomic groups. The entry discusses future directions for research.
Framing: Emphasis
Authors: Froehle Craig M. , Laker Lauren F. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Framing is a powerful and ubiquitous communication phenomenon that fundamentally shapes how we interpret and convey information. This entry focuses on emphasis framing, which occurs when the decision‐maker's focus is directed to a specific aspect or component of the information being exchanged. It functions differently than equivalence framing, a related phenomenon. Research on emphasis framing originated outside the context of healthcare, but work has been done to examine how it can affect the interpretation of clinical care documentation, treatment efficacy and risk information, performance reports, and other situations common in healthcare. While the role of emphasis framing in healthcare communication has been investigated to some extent, more work is needed to fully understand its influence in and potential for shaping communication between and among clinicians and patients.
Social Media: Other Platforms (TikTok, Etc.)
Authors: Guidry Jeanine P. D. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Newer, visually focused social media platforms – including Pinterest, Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok – are increasingly used in health communication. These platforms are of specific significance considering the role visuals play in communication: when a message consists of a visual, it is more likely to be remembered, remembered correctly, and understood than messages consisting of text alone. These newer, visual platforms carry with them many of the same advantages and concerns more established platforms such as Facebook and Twitter do. In health communication, they allow for broader and faster dissemination of health‐related information, as well as for the providing and receiving of social support. The spread of health misinformation is unfortunately also of great concern on these platforms, and while many platforms are taking action to mitigate this phenomenon, it so far has only been partially effective.
Sexual Health and Risk Education
Authors: Adebayo Comfort Tosin , Ambrose Oluwaseyi Esther 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Sexual health and risk education has historically focused on gathering knowledge on practicing safe sexual behaviors, devoid of risks such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancy. Recent research on sexual health education extends the conversation beyond risky sexual behaviors to include skills for having pleasurable and aesthetic sexual experience. Public schools have functioned as the primary platforms where adolescents and children get information about sexual health. However, despite the inclusion of sexual health and risk education in the public school curriculum, STIs are still on a steady increase across the world. Communication scholars have begun to explore other ways that individuals get informed about healthy sexual behaviors and practices. These include sexual health and risk education through public health campaigns (mass media), storytelling, information on the Internet and social media, and parental communication.

Abstract
The International Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) is a worldwide professional organization in the field of media and communication research, whose members promote global inclusiveness and excellence within the best traditions of critical scholarship in the field. It particularly encourages the participation of emerging scholars, women, and those from economically disadvantaged regions. IAMCR has 15 thematic sections and 18 working groups. The Health Communication (HEC) Working Group is one of them and aims to provide a forum for critical thinking on health communication research as well as knowledge translation from praxis‐related interpretative health communication. The HEC Working Group formed in the year 2019 after the merger of the preexisting Health Communication and Change Working Group and HIV/AIDS and Communication (HAC) working groups during the IAMCR Conference in June 2018. It endeavors to create a network of researchers who share knowledge, ideas, methodologies, and research outcomes as well as develop international collaborative projects in the health communication space.
Psychosocial Determinants of Health Information Seeking Behavior
Authors: te Poel Fam , Tanis Martin 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Health information seeking behavior (HISB) concerns all the actions that individuals undertake to obtain information about their or others' health, with the goal to fulfill an information need. Several models exist that describe factors affecting HISB, for example the comprehensive model of information seeking, the planned risk information seeking model, and the integrative model of eHealth use. Based on these models it can be stated that whether a person pursues HISB to fulfill an information need is partly determined by a range of psychosocial factors. Various psychosocial determinants are described, focusing on cognitive factors, personality characteristics, demographics, and situational factors. Even though meta‐analytic studies have shown small to moderate effect sizes, psychosocial factors are found to be robust determinants of HISB. Understanding relations between psychosocial factors and HISB is important because HISB is positively related to health outcomes such as more engagement in preventive health behaviors and greater treatment compliance.
Dosimetric evaluation of the feasibility of utilizing a reduced number of interstitial needles in combined intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for cervical cancer
Authors: Jahan Dishary , Ahmad Salahuddin , Thompson Spencer , Schnell Erich 
Published: November 2022

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the ability of the Venezia advanced multichannel tandem and ring applicator to consistently produce dosimetrically comparable plans utilizing a reduced number of needle channels, to reduce the risk of secondary complications when boosting cervical cancer treatments with high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy.MethodsWe evaluated 26 fractions from 13 patients who were treated with HDR brachytherapy using the Venezia (Elekta) applicator. The original plans included a full load of 12–16 needles, including both parallel and 30‐degree oblique needles. We replanned each original to nine new configurations, with a reduced number of two, three, four, or six needles. Comparisons included differences in percentage dose coverage to 90% of the high‐risk clinical target volume, and percentage dose to 2 cm3 of the bladder, rectum, sigmoid, and bowel. We considered new plans “passing” if they remained within our standards (D90 > 100%; D2 cm3 < 85% bladder, <65% rectum, sigmoid, bowel) or did not perform worse than original.ResultsRemoving only the two most anterior or the two most posterior needles from both sides showed 80.8% and 61.5% overall passing rate. Removal of the most anterior and posterior four needles together showed 65.4% overall passing rate. Removing all oblique needles showed 19.2% overall passing rate. Removing only left‐sided or only right‐sided oblique needles showed 46.2% and 23.1% overall passing, respectively. Removing only right‐sided or only left‐sided parallel needles separately showed 19.2% and 34.6% overall passing, respectively. Removing all parallel needles showed 11.5% overall passing rate.ConclusionsAs only two replans required a full needle load to maintain dosimetric quality and 40 (76.9%), 36 (34.6%), 18 (69.2%), and 10 (19.2%) replans passed with 2, 3, 4, and 6 needles removed respectively, this indicates the potential for using a lesser number of interstitial needles during combined intracavitary and interstitial HDR brachytherapy while maintaining dosimetric quality.
