Organizational communication connectedness in action
No full text"The lines between our personal and professional lives are blurred - naturally one affects the other. Organizational Communication is the first book on the subject to take into account the personal context we bring into an organization. In addition to the connections between home life, social life, and professional activities, author Cynthia Stohl asserts we must pay close attention to the linkages that individuals develop and maintain within their organizational contexts. Each chapter illustrates the ways in which today's changing social patterns, the increasing diversity of the work-force, the introduction of new communication technologies, and the challenges of global integration and competition create organizational and interpersonal networks that are intricately interwoven and complex. By reframing the network metaphor, the author challenges us to examine the ways in which organizational communication is always embedded in, and influenced by, overlapping systems of relationships."--BOOK JACKET
Sex‐Associated Disparities in Industry Payments to US Authors in High‐Impact Rheumatology Journals: Correlation with Author Impact
No full textObjective The aim of this study was to assess sex‐associated disparities in the frequency and magnitude of industry payments to US physician authors in high‐impact rheumatology journals and their correlation with author impact. Methods US authors of publications in four high‐impact rheumatology journals were vetted on Open Payments Database (OPD) for industry payments. The h‐index (an accepted metric of author impact), physician type, and dollar amounts for each OPD category were recorded. Differences in the percentages of male versus female US authors with or without OPD entries, differences in research‐associated and non–research‐associated payments, and differences in h‐indexes were determined. Two hematology, two surgery, and two obstetrics/gynecology high‐impact journals were similarly vetted. Results The h‐indexes of, and industry payments to, US male physician authors were greater than those of and to US female physician authors across all four vetted journal disciplines, with the male‐to‐female ratio of median dollar payments being greatest for rheumatology. Whereas payments to male US physician authors tended to be larger than those to female US physician authors at low h‐indexes, payments to female US physician authors, especially for rheumatology, tended to match and surpass those to male US physician authors as the h‐indexes rose. Conclusion Significant differences exist in industry payments and h‐indexes between male and female US physician authors of publications in high‐impact journals, especially high‐impact rheumatology journals. Sex‐associated differences in industry payments can be attributed, at least in part, to sex‐associated differences in author impact
The Redding Tradition of Organizational Communication Scholarship: W. Charles Redding and his Legacy
No full textW. Charles Redding\u27s academic legacy, viewed over the course of his life, embodies the ways technical and pragmatic knowledge have developed in organizational, as well as managerial, communication. In this article, we identify four characteristics of the scholarly aspect of The Redding Tradition: belief in human progress through empirical investigations; power of critique; message exchange as the core of organizational communication; and the need to understand the socio‐historical and diverse theoretical underpinnings of our field
Lena Duchannes’ triumph toward her dread revealed in Beautiful Creatures novel by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
No full textIn this study, the researcher analyzed the main character in the Beautiful Creatures novel written by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. Beautiful Creatures tells about Lena Duchannes's fear of her Claim at the age of sixteen. The aims of this thesis is first to know the characteristics of Lena Duchannes, the researcher uses the theory of new criticism as a supporting theory that focuses on characterization. Secondly to find out why Lena is afraid of her sixteenth birthday. And third to find out Lena Duchannes overcome her fear. This study uses psychoanalysis theory of Sigmund Freud with the concept of id, ego, and superego to analyze the two problems. This thesis uses descriptive method. The author reads the novel several times. The first reading aims to understand the content of the story. Then the author determines the interesting part of the novel story to be analyzed. The second reading and so on is done to collect the data needed for further analysis and drawn conclusions from the results of the analysis. The results show that Lena has the characteristics of a coward, strange, and withdrawn person. The reason Lena is scared by her sixteenth birthday because she know that she is the daughter of the most evil Caster. So she always be claimed that she will turn into Dark during the night of claims. In addition, Lena looks for the book of the Moon and understands its contents to find a way to destroy the curse so that her fears can be overcomed. Although, her decision made her to give up her uncle
Parameterization of Convective Transport in a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model and Its Evaluation
No full textThis paper presents the revision and evaluation of the interface between the convective parameterization by Emanuel and Živkovic´-Rothman and the Lagrangian particle dispersion model “FLEXPART” based on meteorological data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The convection scheme relies on the ECMWF grid-scale temperature and humidity and provides a matrix necessary for the vertical convective particle displacement. The benefits of the revised interface relative to its previous version are presented. It is shown that, apart from minor fluctuations caused by the stochastic convective redistribution of the particles, the well-mixed criterion is fulfilled in simulations that include convection. Although for technical reasons the calculation of the displacement matrix differs somewhat
between the forward and the backward simulations in time, the mean relative difference between the convective mass fluxes in forward and backward simulations is below 3% and can therefore be tolerated.
A comparison of the convective mass fluxes and precipitation rates with those archived in the 40-yr ECMWF Reanalysis (ERA-40) data reveals that the convection scheme in FLEXPART produces upward mass fluxes and precipitation rates that are generally smaller by about 25% than those from ERA-40. This result is interpreted as positive, because precipitation is known to be overestimated by the ECMWF model.
Tracer transport simulations with and without convection are compared with surface and aircraft measurements from two tracer experiments and to 222Rn measurements from two aircraft campaigns. At the surface no substantial differences between the model runs with and without convection are found, but at higher altitudes the model runs with convection produced better agreement with the measurements in most of the cases and indifferent results in the others. However, for the tracer experiments only few measurements at higher altitudes are available, and for the aircraft campaigns the 222Rn emissions are highly uncertain. Other datasets better suitable for the validation of convective transport in models are not available. Thus, there is a clear need for reliable datasets suitable to validate vertical transport in models
Consequences of socioeconomic development in Taiwan, Singapore, and South Korea: Democracy or a continuation of authoritarianism? (Volumes I and II)
No full textA statist developmental-authoritarian model is proposed to examine the seemingly contradictory development of political authoritarianism and economic growth in East Asia. The states of Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea are examined from a historical perspective as well as within the context of recent economic and political development. The author examines the state apparatus, its relations with the society and the economy, and how it responds to change. The work concludes that while recent trends of democratization in Taiwan and South Korea came as a result of economic advancement and political expediency, the high level of legitimacy which is not found in these two countries, is mainly responsible for the continuation of authoritarianism in Singapore
