Identity and relationship frames in medical leadership communication

2021

PurposeA frame is an interpretive scheme of meanings that guide participants’ interpretations of social interaction and their actions in social situations (Goffman, 1974). By identifying early-career physicians’ identity and relationship frames, this study aims to produce information about socially constructed ways to interpret leadership communication in a medical context.Design/methodology/approachThe data consist of essays written by young physicians (n= 225) during their specialization training and workplace learning period. The analysis was conducted applying constructive grounded theory.FindingsThree identity and relationship frames were identified: the expertise frame, the collegial …

Interpretazione cognitiva, interpretazione decisoria, interpretazione creativa

2013

The article critically reviews Riccardo Guastini’s theory of legal interpretation, as it is now exposed in the recent book Interpretare e argomentare. While broadly sympathetic with Guastini’s jurisprudential project, the author tries to highlight some weaknesses in his conceptual framework – namely, regarding the distinction between “scientific” and “decisional” interpretation, the distinction between interpretation properly understood and creation of new law, and the concept of interpretive creativity

On the typology of motion events in Aymara

2021

This paper investigates the lexicalization pattern of motion events in Aymara, an Andean language spoken in Bolivia, Peru, and Chile. After providing a description of the morphosyntax of translational motion events, this study aims at a preliminary typological classification of Aymara within the framework of Talmy’s typology (Talmy 2000). With this purpose, three diagnostic tests have been used to determine the basic framing-typology of motion events. These tests consider i) the size of manner-of-motion lexicon and, more broadly, the degree of manner salience, ii) the complex-path constructions and the use of ‘plus-ground’ clauses, iii) the expression of boundary-crossing. The results of th…

A Novel Fast Volumetric Light Sheet Microscopy

2016

Fast noninvasive three-dimensional (3D) imaging is crucial for the quantitative understanding of highly dynamic biological processes. Over the last decades, several fluorescence microscopy techniques have been developed in order to provide a faster and deeper imaging of thick biological samples [1]. Within this framework, Light Sheet Fluorescence Microscopy (LSFM) has emerged as a powerful imaging tool for 3D imaging of thick samples ranging from single cells to entire animals [2,3].However, to obtain a 3D reconstruction either sample or microscope parts usually need to be moved limiting the acquisition speed and inducing possible interferences in volume recording. To solve this problem, he…

How perceived value drives the use of mobile financial services apps

2019

Mobile information services have revolutionized business models and service delivery methods by facilitating consumer access to information and order placement via mobile apps. In developed markets, mobile banking (m-banking) and mobile payment (m-payment) applications have replaced text-based mobile services. However, extant research has not addressed these mobile financial services apps (MFSAs) adequately from the perspective of consumer behavior. Thus, the present study developed and tested a series of hypotheses related to the antecedents of perceived value of MFSA use; it also examined how such use affects the development of customers’ overall relationships with banks. Our hypotheses w…

Trade Unions and Lobbying: Fighting Private Interests While Defending the Public Interest?

2020

Although framing theory has been extensively studied in strategic communication comparatively, little is known about how trade unions, as a specific type of organization, use framing strategies to achieve their organizational goals. Trade unions frequently aim to present themselves as cause groups, campaigning for broader societal benefits and values. A key communicative challenge for them is to argue that the interest of their members equates to the public interest. How do trade unions communicatively construct links between union interests and the public interest? How is this strategy reconciled with the more conflict-oriented framing found in much traditional union discourse? This study …

Exploring the Shift from Output Measures to Outcome Measures of Service Delivery: Insights from Municipal Research

2021

Prior research shows that reporting on outcome measures increases the probability that local officials will use perform- ance data to inform their decisions. What has been over- looked in the literature is the question of why some local governments continue to focus more on outputs than on out- comes of service delivery, thereby limiting their ability to use performance data for decision-making. The purpose of this art- icle is to identify organizational, individual, and support factors that could increase the probability that local officials in the Apulia Region of Italy when measuring performance, will move beyond the basic measures of output to the more advanced measures of outcome. Base…

Generalized frame operator, lower semiframes, and sequences of translates

2023

Given an arbitrary sequence of elements $\xi =\lbrace \xi _n\rbrace _{n\in \mathbb {N}}$ of a Hilbert space $(\mathcal {H},\langle \cdot ,\cdot \rangle )$, the operator $T_\xi$ is defined as the operator associated to the sesquilinear form $\Omega _\xi (f,g)=\sum _{n\in \mathbb {N}} \langle f , \xi _n\rangle \langle \xi _n , g\rangle$, for $f,g\in \lbrace h\in \mathcal {H}: \sum _{n\in \mathbb {N}}|\langle h , \xi _n\rangle |<^>2<\infty \rbrace$. This operator is in general different from the classical frame operator but possesses some remarkable properties. For instance, $T_\xi$ is always self-adjoint with regard to a particular space, unconditionally defined, and, when xi is a lo…

How modeling helps in developing self-sovereign identity governance framework: An experience report

2022

Digital Identity has become a topic that attracts the attention of researchers due to the enormous number of services that have been provided online recently. Researchers face many obstacles regarding the security, privacy, and utility of digital identity. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) ecosystems provide a solution for digital identity, in addition to providing a decentralized human-centric paradigm that enables users to own and control their identity. Governance framework (GF) is a key challenge in building SSI ecosystems for two reasons. First, the GF needs to address various aspects such as user needs, standards, laws, and business requirements in an ecosystem. Second, the ecosystem cons…
