Effective communication is one of the most important tools and skills in promoting patient safety. Through it we can perceive and confirm what the patient wants to tell us, their feelings, acceptance, denial and their needs, and from it we can resolve them or not. Especially in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where the majority of patients are under sedation, intubated or drowsy. The study aimed to problematize and reflect on the barriers and facilities to make care in the Intensive Care Unit safer and more humanized. It was possible to understand that ICU health professionals recognize the value of communication as key to the humanization of care; however, it is necessary to recognize the barriers that exist in the process. This highly complex and technologically advanced environment requires the healthcare team to develop cognitive skills, practical skills and responsibilities that sometimes lead professionals to leave communication with the patient in the background and address needs in a technical way, widespread and insensitive, putting at risk the humanization of patient care. Therefore, communication is a right and something crucial and indispensable during the health process. Communication in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) plays a fundamental role in providing safe, individualized and humanized care to patients. However, it faces several barriers and finds facilitators that directly impact the quality of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Radiation risk perception must be studied by communication and radiological protection specialists, taking account of engineering, social and cultural variables. An anonymous and voluntary survey was peformed to enquire about the radiation risk perception among university students and radiological protection experts from Argentina, and to become aware of how it is perceived compared to other health risks. A fifteen-question dedicated questionnaire was designed including socio-demographic variables and questions about work environment, risk perception and risk communication. A five-point Likert-type scale was used for most of the questions. Surveyed people were asked to compare radiological risks in medicine with other risks (i.e.: smoking, sports, leisure activities, stress). The research involved 10 (38.5%) experts, 25 (45%) physics and engineering students and 40 (100%) bio-images production bachelor students. The results were analysed based on the professional or academic background. Although participants considered the radiation exposure in medicine as a low-risk activity, the results showed a disagreement about the radiation risk perception in particular situations (i.e.: living near a nuclear power plant, training in radiological protection while at college) and about radiation risk communication strategies. There is neither right nor wrong risk perception; however, a lot of work must be done to build an agreement between radiological risk perception and risk assessment due to radiation exposure in medicine. It should include working on the design of public policies focused on radiological protection training for health staff and clinical research training for medical physicists and radiological protection specialists, while strengthening communication skills and channels.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to investigate the factors influencing vaccine hesitancy against COVID-19 among Brazilians. Methods: this research employed an observational and analytical approach, utilizing a web-based survey. Data collection took place in 2020, and data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. Results: the prevalence of vaccine hesitancy was found to be 27.5% (1182 individuals). There is a negative correlation between belief in conspiracy theories and social influence. Among the various beliefs associated with vaccination intentions, only conspiracy beliefs exhibited significant predictive value. Thus, the findings suggest that personal beliefs significantly impact hesitancy towards vaccination, and also indicate that trust in governmental bodies is inversely related to hesitancy. Conclusions: vaccine hesitancy emerges as a multifaceted phenomenon influenced by a complex array of factors, including personal beliefs, trust in governmental bodies, and healthcare systems.

The present work aims to provide a real perspective on a bilingual's balance between communicative intention and adoption of strategies in simultaneous interpreting. Two methodological methods are adopted by analyzing the SI corpus: quantitative, in which metalinguistic aspects of the performance are examined, and qualitative, which focuses on the shifts of the interpreting product. It is concluded that: i) there are indeed communicative "strategy" that a bilingual interpreter without academic training resorts to to ensure the quality and fluidity of simultaneous interpreting, however, these intentions do not present a sufficient reasoning nor do they reveal a systematic pattern, therefore they would be designated as "intuitive strategies" of a bilingual; ii) a bilingual privileges the communicative role of interpretation to ensure the transmission of messages, instead of seeking to follow their pre-established strategies.

BACKGROUND: The practice of physical exercises has become more and more frequent, as well as external motivational strategies during their performance, such as music or other auditory resources. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influence of musical and verbal stimuli when compared to silence, without interference of sound or speech on performance during the abdominal crunch. METHODS: Third young volunteers participated in the study, 15 males and 15 females, trained for at least 6 months in bodybuilding, mean age 23.7±3.0 without intercurrence of injuries in the region abdominal. The volunteers were submitted to the execution of sit-ups "crunch", these being on the random influence of three situations in the test: 1) Musical Stimulus; 2) Verbal Stimulation; 3) Silence. At the end of the application of each test, the volunteers responded to the Adapted Scale of Perceived Exertion. RESULTS: Without specifying one of the variables, comparing between genders, men performed better than women (p<0.05), however, between groups, the stimuli "silence", "music" and "verbal command" did not showed significant effect (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Music and verbal commands do not influence performance while performing abdominal exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The missionaries of the Society of Jesus emerged as significant social and political agents in the Colony, allowing the presence of the crown to be felt. As these men took on the responsibility for the health care of the colony's inhabitants, this enabled the Order to build a significant body of knowledge, the restricted circulation of which among its members conferred political importance upon them in the Portuguese Court. Communication, in this context, is positioned as a tool for gathering power in the face of situations experienced by the missionaries, due to its political dimension. Lastly, we seek to highlight the role of the circulation of missionary knowledge in the process of power configuration in the colonial world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The informational paradigm of communication stipulates that agents talk to convey non-redundant information to other agents. If we turn to self-directed talk and, in particular, to private speech, however, we find a clear counterexample. After all, in self-directed speech, the roles of speaker and hearer coincide in the same agent. My goal here is to search for an alternative paradigm that explains private speech in its various intrapersonal and intersubjective uses. To that end, I consider two alternatives, the dispositional and the deontic paradigms, which assume respectively that we talk to generate dispositions and to negotiate commitments in coordinated actions. In comparing their merits, I show that the second one is preferable because it explains private uses of language with phatic function better than the first one. Such uses show that communication can turn to aspects of its own infrastructure; regrettably, they have been systematically neglected in the philosophical literature, even though they seem to be a crucial part of a complete answer to the question “Why do we talk?”.

Advances in the past few decades have led to a radical transformation in how healthcare systems, communities, and individuals approach the concepts of well-being, health, and disease. Today, it is possible to access an infinite amount of data with the potential to diagnose, predict, prevent, and personalize disease treatment. The digital transformation generates a huge demand for the development and management of health information systems. At the same time, effective communication of medical information is one of the critical points for the person-centred care approach, to generate value and reduce waste. In the face of complex social challenges, interprofessional collaboration between design and health is already seen as indispensable. With the aim of contributing to the debate on information design for health in Brazil, this paper presents an overview of the area, discusses the current challenges of the health sector and the synergies with information design. It concludes that participatory approaches, performance evaluations and a greater link between information design and service design are important for the creation of more sustainable collaboration strategies between the areas, to increase the social impact of design research in Brazil.

This paper addresses the theme of communications between the province of Mato Grosso and the Atlantic through the territory of the province of Paraná, using as sources, preferably, the reports of the presidents of the two provinces, and having as a background the concerns of the Brazilian national state due to the remote and border condition of Mato Grosso. It is shown that the routes sought were initially terrestrial-fluvial and, later, rail-fluvial, and that the leaders of Paraná had a greater interest in such communications than their counterparts in Mato Grosso. In addition to envisioning the possibility of Paraná becoming the "emporium" of Mato Grosso commerce, those leaders also sought the benefits brought to their province by the central government's investments in roads to Mato Grosso.

The paper analyses the case of Egyptian footballer Mohamed Salah, from Liverpool FC in England, as a successful example of building a transcultural idol within a scenario of the internationalization of football as business. We study his social medias through organic monitoring from 2021 to 2023, to understand how the athlete image would help overcoming cultural barriers. We established five categories (work, success, family, multiculturalism, and commercial legitimacy) around cultural signs, analysing the posts in the light of the concept of hyper-ritualization. We argue that the football player manages to build a multiculturalist image by overcoming national barriers. We argue that he does this by the positive image he builds on his social medias, allowing him transit through different cultural environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

What does the incessant return of the Brazilian national team jersey between June 2013 and the government of Jair Bolsonaro mean? What is its role? What does football have to do with Brazil's public life in the early 21st century? Does its intervention in the recent political and social history of the country limit itself to the appearance of the national team jersey and its appropriation by extreme-right movements and parties? These are some of the questions that this article seeks to answer. To do so, the analysis mobilizes the theoretical-methodological framework of Greimas' discursive semiotics and Jurij Lotman's semiotics of culture, combining micro analyses of specific texts, practices, and discourses with macro analyses of broader and transversal sociocultural configurations, revealing the links between the semiospheres of football, politics, media, and religion.

The media ecosystem has been significantly transformed due to the COVID-19 pandemic between 2020 and 2022. Within these transformations, an important economic segment stands out: tourism. This transformation has been triggered by the limited mobility experienced throughout the planet. Consequently, society has begun to live new "tourist" experiences in virtual environments, which motivated us to carry out this project. Its methodological proposal involved the Agile Scrum procedure, commonly adopted by engineering companies, participant observation, and bibliographic research. The result was the completion of an applied research project that involves theoretical and practical procedures and gives new meaning to travel photography in the new media ecology.

Background: Prenatal nursing appointments underwent changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, namely in the restriction of companions. For this reason, it is important to assess pregnant women's satisfaction with nursing care during this period. Objective: To assess pregnant women's satisfaction with nurse midwife-led prenatal appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology: A qualitative descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 196 pregnant women. The Portuguese version of the General Practice Nurse Satisfaction Scale (Escala de Satisfação dos Pacientes com a Assistência de Enfermagem) was administered to the sample. The tool consists of the following dimensions: interpersonal relationship and communication, confidence, credibility, and dedication. Results: Pregnant women are, on average, more satisfied in the interpersonal relationship and communication dimension and less satisfied in the dedication dimension. Conclusion: Pregnant women are satisfied with nursing care and acknowledge its importance. This finding reinforces the importance of nurse midwife-led consultations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Interruptions have been reported to contribute to clinical errors and procedural failures. Objective: To analyze the interruptions experienced by nurses during the preparation and administration of high-risk medications. Methodology: A cross-sectional study was conducted in an intensive care and inpatient unit. The interruptions experienced by nurses during the medication process were observed through two checklists. The sample was selected by convenience in April-May 2019. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze quantitative data in IBM SPSS Statistics software, version 24.0, while content analysis was used to analyze qualitative data. Results: In 193 medication processes, there were 137 interruptions. Other members of the healthcare team initiated most interruptions through conversations. These interruptions were mostly negative and occurred during the preparation phase. The multitasking strategy was used to manage them. Conclusion: Interruptions during the medication process were primarily associated with professional and social communications. The impact of these interruptions varied depending on the phase of the process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Communication is one of the great paradigms that has contributed to the development of humanity. Communication theory bases its functional logic as a transversal axis in each process and sub-process of daily life. Its influence on the advancement of information and communications technologies (ICT) is notable, as is the relationship between communication and science with demands from the scientific-technological policies of institutions, governments and science, technology and innovation entities that have insisted that society value the benefits of science. Given the necessary epistemological understanding of the term science communication and its relationship with technology and innovation, a bibliographic and documentary analysis is carried out as a viable systematization for the future construction of the field of science communication and innovation.

The present article will address the introduction and influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the legal and judicial field, specifically focusing on the ethical challenges that such implementation entails. We will start from the concept of AI as a complex and evolving process of autonomous information processing and decision-making, to the point of surpassing the capabilities of human intelligence itself. Having demonstrated its effectiveness and applicability in various fields and human professions, its implementation in the legal sphere, especially in the procedural domain, has become an inevitable reality and evidence of the development of the fourth industrial revolution. However, today it raises significant questions regarding its ability to comprehend and apply judgments based on ethics and morality, essential considerations for making legal decisions oriented toward the common good and justice. Therefore, we will analyze the ethical and legal challenges posed by the implementation of AI in the judicial system, emphasizing the importance of ensuring transparency, quality, and accountability in AI decision-making processes.

In this bibliographical essay, based on an epistemological discussion of popular education in Latin America, the categories of extension and communication are analyzed, focusing on the latter as a way of democratizing public spaces for popular expression of the working class and its emancipatory struggle. To this end, it is based on the hypothesis that popular education is in a constant dialectical exercise with its historical context, and is therefore interpreted based on contributions from various thinkers who focus on education and history. In the Latin American context, it adhered to the territorial outline of Argentina with a focus on the 20th century and experiences in the field of popular education at the beginning of the 21st century. Throughout the analyses, Communication was observed as a category that could be conceived only through democratic means, which can be demonstrated not only in media communication or in social organizations of the most diverse aspects, but also in educational processes, especially in popular education, which is undergoing a process of refoundation.

This article analyzes the communication strategies of the Movement of Those Affected by the Alcântara Space Base in Maranhão, Brazil, through a case study that uses semi-structured interviews and documentary research. It mobilizes concepts of social movements, the Black movement, and quilombola. It addresses the specificities of ethnic territory and discusses the role of communication in strengthening citizenship and the Black press as a means of counterhegemony. The analysis shows that, despite difficulties, MABE confronts dominant narratives and seeks to transform power relations through autonomous and adaptive communication, inseparable from its militancy.

ABSTRACT Purpose Prospective memory (PM) questionnaires are frequently used to evaluate perceptions of PM skills in daily life. This study aimed to systematically investigate communication-specific attributes using pre-existing PM self-rating questionnaires to inform clinicians and researchers about the role of PM in cognitive communicative evaluations. Methods PM-related items from three questionnaires (i.e., Prospective Memory Questionnaire, Comprehensive Assessment of Prospective Memory, and Prospective and Retrospective Memory Questionnaire) were compiled and embedded in Google Forms and distributed to 70 Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) with expertise in Cognitive Communicative Disorders across India. Participants first identified items related to communication, and were then contacted to rate the communication-related PM items using a Likert scale for their degree of appropriateness. Responses from 40 SLPs were obtained and subjected to item-content validity index (i-CVI) and exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Results Of the 114 PM items, 28 received ratings over 50% for their relevance to communication. Of the 28 items, 21 had an i-CVI score greater than 0.8. After the removal of overlapping content, 14 items were finalized and subjected to EFA, which resulted in four factors: PM failure due to loss of communicative content, PM failure due to loss of communicative intent, PM cost due to ongoing interference, and PM failure linked to the priority of communicative intent. Conclusion This study highlights communication-related aspects of PM that can be used as a framework for SLPs to assess and research PM skills.

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess the influence of wearing a mask on auditory-visual speech recognition, in a favorable listening situation, in hearing devices users. Methods: a cross-sectional observational study comprising 52 hearing aid users, whose speech recognition was assessed with six video-recorded lists of sentences with and without masks. The mean test results in the various situations were compared using the Friedman test with Bonferroni post hoc, the significance level being set at 5%. Results: speech recognition assessment results differed between the situations with and without masks and between mask types, with a small effect size. The post hoc, with p-values adjusted with the Bonferroni method, showed a difference between transparent masks and others. The transparent one had a higher mean (77.8%) of auditory-visual sentence recognition between the various situations. There were statistically significant differences, as the transparent mask provided a better performance than the others. Conclusion: the auditory-visual recognition of the hearing-impaired people was better with the transparent mask.

Objectives: To evaluate the communication between dentists and dental technicians in Lisbon for the construction of metal frameworks for removable partial dentures (RPDs). Methods: This observational study’s target population was laboratories in Lisbon. Data were collected through a questionnaire including six categories: medical prescription, conventional definitive impression and its disinfection, digital impression, analysis of study and working casts, and design and construction of the metallic structure. Dental technicians completed the questionnaire after consulting the medical instructions and observing the stone casts. The variables were subjected to descriptive statistics. Results: Three laboratories agreed to participate in this study, and the final sample included 53 entirely completed questionnaires. All definitive casts were obtained by conventional impression, with a universal tray (67.9%) and alginate (84.9%). The laboratories disinfected all impressions, mostly with sodium hypochlorite (98.1%), and the dental technician analyzed 84.9% of the casts in the parallelometer. There were no pre-prosthetic preparations in 66% of the working casts. The dentists provided design instructions in five cases, and only one delivered a drawing on paper. All metal frameworks were made in cobalt-chromium, mainly by electronic induction casting (96.6%). Conclusions: The dentist did not provide the dental technician with most of the design and planning instructions required for constructing removable partial dentures. This finding confirms the lack of communication between clinics and laboratories in Lisbon.

Se planteó una investigación con el objetivo de estudiar la presencia de mujeres autoras de artículos científicos en revistas latinoamericanas de comunicaciones, tanto en los de autoría individual como en trabajos colectivos. Se analizaron 206 artículos de investigación publicados en dos revistas latinoamericanas indexadas en Scopus, de acceso abierto y que solo publican sobre comunicaciones. Los resultados mostraron 441 autores (54 % hombres y 46 % mujeres). Los hombres tuvieron mayor presencia como autores de artículos individuales. En los de autoría múltiple, las mujeres prevalecen en el primer lugar de autoría (hombres n = 60; mujeres n = 75) y en el tercero (hombres n = 6; mujeres n = 8), mientras que los hombres prevalecen en el segundo (hombres n = 70; mujeres n = 65) y el último (hombres n = 49; mujeres n = 31). La prueba de Chi cuadrado (p < ,05) mostró una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre el género y la posición en las autorías múltiples. Se concluye que, si bien existe inequidad de género en los artículos sobre comunicaciones, la brecha es menor que la reportada por los autores en otras áreas de conocimiento.

Dans le domaine des arts du spectacle, la communication signifie avant tout partage. Ce partage ne peut s’accomplir si l’émetteur/le producteur du message ne sonde, en toute première instance, son intérieur, ses ressources cachées, par la voie du sensible. Ensuite, c’est l’observation du monde extérieur et la perception de la sensibilité des autres. Par cette voie, l’art peut aboutir à une forme de communication « sensible », qui peut même exclure le verbal. Notre travail propose une analyse des modalités de communication mises en marche pendant le festival « Sensibilis 2023 », organisé à Cagnes-sur-Mer par l’association CieBe. En partant de la théorie de la communication de Jakobson à laquelle nous avons ajouté le concept de signe selon Umberto Eco et Jean-Marie Klinkenberg, nous faisons une analyse des enjeux communicatifs de cette manifestation. De cette manière, nous montrons que, à « Sensibilis 2023 » le signe a été valorisé comme une structure tétradique, ce qui a assuré le succès du processus de production du sens.

A mapping of Brazilian research on digital ecosystems and journalism is presented, based on groups registered in the CNPq directory since 1990. Both the Postgraduate Programs in Communication and their lines of research focused on Journalism, as well as the three stricto sensu postgraduate programs in Journalism, include groups concerned with the scientific and practical development of journalism via studies on the reconfiguration of journalistic processes, based on technological and communication transformations. The objective of the article is through a bibliometric survey to expose the cartography of the groups and their characteristics. An increase in the creation of groups was observed from the 2000s onwards, 36 groups, and only two groups until the end of the 20th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a consequence of the cultural turn, the cultural approach focused on the spatial processes in which culture is involved. Hence a widening and deepening of cultural geography. (i) Culture is partly shaped by the modes of transmission responsible for its passing down from one generation to the next. They stress more or less know-hows and knowledge (i.e. intelligence) and emotivity and imagination (i.e. imaginaries). (ii) Culture is equally shaped by the debates and opinions it induces, the genesis of identities, the dynamics of imitation or distinction and the process and conflicts of civilization or decline they initiate. (iii) Culture is combined with other processes when it deals with matter or life, produces artefacts, deals with nature, is applied to the human body, analyses the role of senses and shapes the landscape. (iv) It contributes to transform social life into a show and its setting into a stage. In its present form, cultural geography completes by a socio-cultural approach the older

Abstract After pointing out mainstream migrant integration’s conceptual issues, we use communication theory to argue that researching migrants’ positive discourse about their trajectories depends on analyzing their establishment of philia in the host country. Then, we present a qualitative study with five migrants who work as teachers at a language school in Rio de Janeiro. We explore their experiences according to three categories: connection to Brazilian people, connection to brazility, and identity convergence to Brazil. This paper concludes that although interviewees cite some indicators used to measure integration in mainstream academia (e.g., language and employment) in their discourses about the country, the specific meanings of these factors are understood only by linking them to participants’ intersubjective exchanges and philia in Brazil.

The article touches upon two problems that arose in the development of semiology in the second half of the twentieth century, namely: (1) the debate over the proper object of semiology: signification or communication? and (2) the problem of how a typology of indices (indications), which underlies the conception of the proper object of semiology, can be established. In order to tackle these problems, the article restricts itself to a treatment of the works by the main representatives of a functional semiology, to wit, Georges Mounin, Eric Buyssens and Luis Prieto. Especially the works of Prieto are used to unravel a typology of indices that ultimately allows to conceive the object of a specific semiology of signification and to clearly present its aims.
