Openings in technology-mediated business meetings

2015

The prerequisites for opening a meeting, or beginning any kind of interaction for that matter, are participants’ presence and shared orientation towards the situation at hand. This paper analyses how the initial moments of technology-mediated business meetings involving distributed work groups are organized sequentially and multimodally. Drawing on video-recorded meetings in an international company, it documents the multimodal practices used in the process of establishing co-orientation to the shared meeting space and achieving entry into the meeting. The analysis shows that the stepwise unfolding of the opening phase requires the coordination of verbal and bodily conducts as well as the a…

Presence and Absence in Global Virtual Team Meetings : Physical, Virtual, and Social Dimensions

2016

Global virtual work is commonly organised around virtual meetings. As virtual team members often belong to multiple groups in their work, finding time for global team meetings may be challenging due to competing priorities and roles as well as different time zones and schedules. Furthermore, social presence does not automatically emerge based on physical or virtual presence. Therefore, the notions of being physically, virtually and socially present or absent in global team meetings are important, and affect the collaboration of global work groups. These different dimensions of presence and absence and their nature as fluctuating phenomena have not yet been scrutinised in virtual work litera…

“Open Dialogue behind locked doors” – exploring the experiences of patients, family members, and professionals with network meetings in a locked psyc…

2018

This paper explores and describes the experiences of patients, family members, and professionals with the Open Dialogue approach to network meetings at a locked psychiatric hospital unit in Norway. Previous research on Open Dialogue has mostly focused on acute crises in community care contexts. In this article, we discuss the participants’ experiences with Open Dialogue in a new context; that is in an inpatient locked unit. The inpatients are suffering from severe mental illness and might have been admitted to the unit against their will. The study has a qualitative design. Data were collected through a focus group interview with professionals and from written evaluations by patients and th…

Multimodal accomplishment of alignment and affiliation in the local space of distant meetings

2017

Technology-mediated (i.e. distant) meetings are complex settings that involve distributed participation frameworks and the coordination of actions in multiple interactional spaces. This paper examines how problems with hearing, speaking, or understanding in the overall meeting space enable the negotiation of alignment and affiliation by co-present participants in the same local meeting space. Conversation analysis is used to investigate the local accomplishment of alignment and affiliation achieved through the sequential and temporal organization of verbal, embodied, and material resources of interaction in three types of situations: during technological trouble, silences, and disagreements…

Noticing-prefaced recoveries of the interactional space in a video-mediated business meeting

2020

Drawing on conversation analysis and authentic data from a video-mediated multiparty meeting, this study investigates the sequential and temporal organisation of recoveries of the interactional space. It focuses on moments in which either an auditory or a visual barrier emerges, and the participants orient to these troubles through intensified bodily-visual displays: embodied noticings. The analysis illustrates noticing-prefaced recoveries of the interactional space as procedural and multimodal accomplishments that require close attentiveness to the co-participants’ verbal and visual conduct and to the contingencies of the meeting. The study highlights not only the affordances of video-medi…

PsychDT Working Group

2015

Background: Diabetes technology is a cornerstone of diabetes management in the 21st century, with advances in available devices over recent years playing a central role in the way that health care has progressed. Psychosocial interventions have been shown to have a positive impact on glycemic control, reduce psychological distress and reduce costs of health care. Addressing and improving psychosocial outcomes that complement biomedical improvements and looking to the future are crucial to enhance patient acceptance of artificial pancreas (AP) systems. Methods: To achieve closer collaboration and comparability across different AP research trials, a working group was established. Results: Exi…

Krytyka „kultury wykluczenia” w nauczaniu papieża Franciszka

2017

Na przestrzeni wieków rozumienie problemu wykluczenia było niestateczne. Zawsze jednak pozostawało w silnym związku z epoką, kulturą, standardem życia ludzi. Przeobrażały się także poglądy dotyczące oceny moralnej działań powodujących wykluczenie społeczne. Dosyć często wykluczonych postrzegano jako „pasożytów porządnych społeczeństw”. W wielu przypadkach ekskluzję interpretowano jako wybraną drogę życia wielu mędrców. Niejednokrotnie w odniesieniu do tego samego typu społeczeństwa stosowane są odmienne, konkurujące ze sobą, modele wyjaśniania przyczyn wykluczenia i sposoby konceptualizacji tak zwanej kultury wykluczenia. Jeśli ograniczyć się tylko do społeczeństwa funkcjonującego w ramach …
