The Effect of Adaptive Nonlinear Frequency Compression on Phoneme Perception
2017
Purpose This study implemented a fitting method, developed for use with frequency lowering hearing aids, across multiple testing sites, participants, and hearing aid conditions to evaluate speech perception with a novel type of frequency lowering. Method A total of 8 participants, including children and young adults, participated in real-world hearing aid trials. A blinded crossover design, including posttrial withdrawal testing, was used to assess aided phoneme perception. The hearing aid conditions included adaptive nonlinear frequency compression (NFC), static NFC, and conventional processing. Results Enabling either adaptive NFC or static NFC improved group-level detection and recognit…
Factors contributing to verbal self-disclosure
2007
The phenomenon of self-disclosure has been actively studied in several sub-discliplines of psychology from the 1970s on, and neighbouring disciplines, such as social and communication sciences, have enriched the psychological understanding of the topic. The psychological literature on self-disclosure, which is viewed, sometimes as a trait-like construct, varying in degree from one person to another, and sometimes as an interpersonal process which occurs when individuals interact with each other, has addressed, in particular, the issues of reciprocity effect, sex differences, self-disclosure in intimate vs. non-intimate relationships, the benefits to be derived from disclosing, and the emoti…
La integración de la educación ambiental en la formación periodística como proyecto de innovación docente

A View from the Inside: The Dawning Of De-Westernization of CEE Media and Communication Research?
2015
The Editorial outlines some characteristics of the development of the Central and Eastern European (CEE) media and communication scholarship during the past 25 years. In the majority of CEE countries, the media and communication research was re-established after the collapse of communism. Since then, a critical mass of active scholars has appeared who form an integral part of the larger European academia. A gradual integration of East and West perspectives in media and communication research is taking place along with moving away from the barely West-centred approach, and utilizing the research done by CEE scholars. Certain 'de-westernization' and internationalization of the research in ter…
Indicadores compuestos como metodología innovadora en Comunicación. Aplicación para la evaluación de los medios públicos europeos
2020
The currently dominant scientific production model in the field of Communication exhibits an excess of standardization towards mainly empirical work that is overwhelming caried out using quantitative techniques based on simple statistical analyses, in many cases limiting the presentation of results to a reading of the available data. This article presents an innovative proposal in this area, designed as a new form of dissemination and scientific presentation, with the objective of constructing three composite indicators that, when applied to European public service media, will enable the assessment of the perception of their social value, independence, and management efficiency. Another aim…
Gewaltbilder in den Medien: Vertretbar oder verwerflich? Argumentation in der Wissenschaft, unter Journalisten und beim Deutschen Presserat
2015
Taglich erreichen Gewaltbilder aus der ganzen Welt die Redaktionen. Als Gatekeeper mussen Journalisten abwagen: Konnen, sollen, durfen oder mussen wir diese Bilder zeigen? Entscheiden sie sich fur die Publikation, wird ihnen schnell Sensationsgier unterstellt. Jedoch verlangt der journalistische Auftrag, auch in Bildern uber Gewalt, Leid und Tod zu berichten. Die Journalisten stehen vor einem bildethischen Dilemma. Der Beitrag nimmt sich dieser Problematik an und fragt, welche Argumente fur und gegen die Veroffentlichung von Gewaltbildern in den Massenmedien sprechen. Betrachtet wird dazu der bildethische Diskurs in der Kommunikationswissenschaft, unter Journalisten und beim Deutschen Press…
Approche critique : quelle appropriation par les SIC ?
2017
Sprung up from the confluence and the interaction between different disciplines, information and communication sciences have been enriched by international critical thoughts from which they borrowed a large number of concepts. However, the genesis and the critical function of theses paradigms are not always examined. By exploring the appropriation processes of the most important critical schools of thought within the discipline, the author contributes to enliven a space for discussion about the adoption of a critical perspective in communication studies. Social critique; Critical perspective on communication; History of information and communication sciences; Critical Theory; Cultural studi…
Crisis Management Between Public Relations and the Holonic Multi-Agent Approach
2018
Abstract Crisis management represents a multidisciplinary topic in many sciences. Social sciences, state affairs, medicine, engineering and many others are interested to handle unforeseen major great impact events. The paper presents some differences and common topics of crisis management using two different approaches. The first is Public Relations (PR), as part of the communication sciences; and the second is the Holonic Multi-Agent (HMAS) Concept, which is a research topic belonging to software engineering and computational sciences. We have two different approaches, but one common goal: providing the feasible support for the crisis management team under abnormal working conditions. Deal…
Del present imperfecte i dels futurs de probabilitat, o entorn de la filologia, la lingüística, l'anàlisi crítica del discurs i les ciències de la co…
2005
What is the aim today of talking about philology, either in absolute terms or related to other concepts such as linguistics or language sciences? On the one hand, it seems unfair to resort to metaphors that pair (traditional) philology and (textual) necrophilia. On the other hand, turning our back on the reality is not the appropriate response to current problems: a more applied training (in the professional field) is needed, and (in the scientific context) the frontiers should be pushed back, because the old ones are obsolete and in need of reappraisal. Faced with a past and a present that are inevitably imperfect, this article is a reflection on the chances of a future in which philology …
