Dialogic communication in the health care context: A case study of Kaiser Permanente's social media practices

This case study examines how one of the largest not-for-profit health care organizations in the US, Kaiser Permanente, uses social media to communicate with its stakeholders. Through content analysis and interviews, this study identifies the communication models reflected in a sample of social media posts and examines the organization's approach to using social media. The study finds evidence of both one-way and two-way communication models, as well as principles of dialogic communication. The implications of these findings are discussed.     

The history of public relations in Greece from 1950 to 1980: Professionalization of the “art”

The early development of public relations in Greece is explored through a focus on the period between 1950 and 1980. Specifically, the, article considers the origins and early developments, important actors, international influences, professional bodies and the field of practice.

A Study of a Network Meeting: Exploring the Interplay between Inner and Outer Dialogues in Significant and Meaningful Moments

The present study is part of a series of qualitative studies focusing on dialogic practice in southern Norway. In this article, we present a qualitative study of a network meeting focusing on the interplay between the participants' inner and outer dialogues. The network meeting is between an adolescent boy, his mother and two network therapists, the same adolescent case discussed previously in this journal by Bøe et al. ( 2013 ). The aim of this study is to explore how the interplay between inner and outer dialogues contributes to significant and meaningful moments for the interlocutors. A multiperspective methodology is used that combines video recordings of a network meeting and participant interviews with text analysis. Our research found the interplay has an important role in understanding the emergence of significant and meaningful moments in therapy. A one‐sided focus on participants' utterances or inner dialogues was insufficient to explain their significance and meaning to the interlocutors. A dialogical approach provides a theoretical frame and concepts that are useful in investigations of therapeutic conversations.     

Ethnic ingroup friendships in schools: Testing the by-product hypothesis in England,Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden

This study set out to examine to what extent ethnic ingroup friendship in secondary school classes are a by-product of cultural and socioeconomic ingroup friendship. Based on homophily theory, we expected similar opinions, leisure activities, religion, risk behaviour and socioeconomic factors to (partly) explain ethnic ingroup preferences. Multilevel p₂ models on 13,272 pupils in 625 secondary school classes in England, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden showed that adolescents tend to have friends similar in ethnicity, cultural and socioeconomic characteristics. We find no evidence, however, that ethnic homophily is explained by cultural and socioeconomic homophily.     

创新网络中知识转移“度”及其维度

在创新网络中,知识转移及其转化程度直接影响创新网络成员之间的关系及创新结果。网络中知识转移的一个突出问题是知识转移存在很多限制性因素,而一旦限制性因素被突破,则知识转移又表现为其他特征,例如知识转移速度加快、知识转移范围扩大等。创新网络中知识转移"度",指网络成员在一定的制度约束下或者在内外条件约束下,知识转移活动所能达到的程度。在知识转移过程中,接受组织的吸收能力、知识的显性度、各种智力资本的复杂性以及知识转移背景的相似性等方面左右了知识转移的广度、速度和深度。作为知识产品的科技成果,其可转移性的高低是影响转化的根本因素。为加快中国高校科技成果的转移,必须改进现有的高校科研导向、科技成果评价机制,提高高校科研人员开展面向产业化研究的积极性,加强企业创新能力和科技成果转移体系建设。     

基于家庭网络的数字融合及其影响分析

在描述家庭网络的重要性的基础上对基于家庭网络的数字融合及其影响进行分析和研究。随着信息技术和产品逐步由多标准向标准融合过渡,网络、通信、软件、硬件和消费电子产品等生产厂家通过成立联盟,推动家庭网络技术和产品相互兼容。于是产业融合得到促进,家庭网络市场逐步扩大。家庭网络推动服务融合和创新,促进形成新的价值链。在新的价值链中,新的商业模式促进网络运营、应用和服务的改变和融合,合作和协同不可或缺,并得到了政策和资源方面的支持。对于家庭网络业的发展来说,技术是基础,内容是源泉,应用是动力,协同是关键。     

基于网络多媒体环境的大学生英语自主学习能力研究

以计算机和网络为核心的现代信息技术正影响和改变着大学英语教学,将传统课堂教学与学习者的个性化自主学习有机地结合起来,将基于多媒体网络环境的＂自主学习＂教学模式应用于大学英语教学,以学生为中心,培养学生自主学习能力,才能使学生真正地提高英语应用能力,进而对提高我国大学英语教学质量,对我国今后的英语教学工作产生重要作用。     

网络舆论与政府决策的内在逻辑

由于互联网所具有的自由性、开放性、平等性等特征,极大地激发了民众网络参与的兴趣和热情,从而形成了网络公共领域,并进而导致网络舆论的产生。网络舆论突破了传统媒体由于时空间隔而造成的信息传输的种种障碍,赋予其巨大的整合功能。网络舆论将一系列公众诉求通过政治输入系统进入政策过程,政府不断回应产生公共政策输出,在网络公共领域中网络舆论与政府决策之间存在某种互动,如何有效把握这种互动成为提高现代政府治理能力的一个重要内容。     

教育内部民主法制化简论

教育内部民主是相对于"保障教育权利平等"的外部民主而言的,包括教育过程中师生关系的民主和教育管理与决策的民主。因为缺乏必要的规范,教育内部民主在实践中常常表现为非理性的冲动,教育内部民主需要通过理性的法制介入得以合理有效地实现。教育内部民主法制化不仅是必要的也是可能的。     

工业共生研究综述

工业共生作为工业生态系统的重要特征和实现途径已经引起学者们的关注。然而,目前工业共生的理论研究仍处于起步阶段,侧重于相关概念的阐释和理论平台的搭建,大致形成了工业共生链网结构、形成动因、网络治理和评价研究等几个方面。未来的研究应综合运用产业生态学、管理学、经济学相关理论及分析方法深入研究工业共生形成机理和稳定运行的规律性问题,由此为我国发展循环经济、建设生态工业园提供必要的理论支持。
