Design And Testing

The article deals with the possibilities of reflexive and project-based forms of anthropological practice which make it possible to create an environment for the development of the individual’s creative orientation and creativity in the context of the modern media environment. The authors focus on the design and testing of innovative technologies in the field of humanities in the rapidly changing conditions of children and adolescents who are growing up in the digital environment of the 21st century. The specific features of the media environment in terms of determining the anthropological imperative of the educational prototype are examined. Based on theoretical and practical developments, the principles of deploying such technologies in the format of educational anthropological practices are demonstrated. The authors substantiate the resource potential of co-creative forms of psychological and pedagogical anthropological practice based on the original reflexive-positional approach to the personal development of children in primary and secondary school. The emphasis is on the presentation of two reflexive-positional technologies that have proven their practical efficiency/ These technologies are based on the principles of project reflection, namely, plot and activity-based game and mediahermeneutics. The principles of creating a transformative socio-cultural educational environment that initiates the development of giftedness and creativity of children and adolescents in mediahermeneutics technologies are described in detail. The authors provide the results of a comprehensive study of the personality and creativity development among children and adolescents based on reflexive and project-based technologies of psychological and pedagogical anthropological practices to identify the relationship between the personal and creative development of children and adolescents participating in programs built using mediahermeneutics. The discussion of the results allows one to conclude that project-based and reflexive forms of anthropological practice, when properly organized, in particular using the principles of mediahermeneutics, contribute to the development of spiritual value orientations, creative focus, cognitive and aesthetic motivation and create the environment for the manifestation of adolescent giftedness.

The Impact

Abstract In the article, we consider the impact of adolescence upon the usage of Polish in Polish-German bilinguals raised and living in Germany and demonstrate how adolescence surfaces as a socially based “critical period” in this usage using results from a survey and interviews conducted with 30 teenagers. In the quantitative part of the study, we seek to establish whether adolescents’ age affected the pattern and quantity of their usage of Polish in the media and contacts with age peers, whether the latter two facets of growing up with Polish were interrelated, and which other factors affected peer-relevant activities in Polish. Both age and peer contact turned out to significantly affect the use of the media in Polish, while peer contact in Polish was affected by the parental use of Polish in parent-child communication. The qualitative part presents the context and motivation for using Polish by the youths in peer-relevant activities. We integrate the results with insights provided by child development psychology from the perspective of language socialisation theory and interpret the age-related decline of interest in the Polish media as an effect of a diminishing role of parents and the increasing role of age peers as role models in personal development.

This chapter discusses the progression of mass media effects research from early preoccupation with attitude change through minimal effects paradigms to the current resurgence in persuasion research. Implications of contemporary changes in the media environment on media effects research are considered. After surveying and classifying definitions of media effects, the chapter discusses how fundamental transformations in the media environment brought about by information technology may work to reshape scholarly understandings of the relationship between news sources and audiences. The availability of multiple sources makes it possible for consumers to be more selective in their exposure to news programs. Selective exposure means that people with limited interest in politics may bypass the news entirely, while the more attentive may tailor their exposure to suit their political preferences. Both these trends imply a weakening of persuasion effects.

Self Learning

The continuous increase of media information volume in the personal and professional individual space with constantly improving mechanisms of its management and distribution, the accelerated penetration of media technologies into various spheres of human life and activities, the ever-growing influence of the media environment on people’s consciousness actualize the problem of preparing a person with highly developed media educational competences, that is capable for continuous self-learning. This significance is especially evident in connection with the difficult people living conditions during periods of epidemics and pandemics. The article describes the media educational concept of the formation and development of lifelong self-learning personal readiness. It assumes dynamic, factor and competence-based aspects of the realization, which accordingly take into account the stages (phases, levels) of the formation and development of this readiness, the factors of the relationship between the person and the environment of his/her development, as well as a certain content from the standpoint of acquiring the necessary personal self-learning competences. The concept will allow lecturers and universities’ administration to successfully design pedagogical activities to form a media-competent person, ready for continuous self-learning throughout life.

Mass media has taken on an increasingly influential role with respect to the design, implementation and critical evaluation of public policy. This chapter explores the many ways in which media “matters” to the policy process, by highlighting media’s traditionally limited role in the scholarly literature on public policy, then moving on to a wider discussion of the direct and indirect capacity of media to influence the policy process. Media effects on policy such as framing and agenda setting are reviewed, as are concepts such as the institutional factors that guide political media production and the relationship between policymakers, public opinion and the media. The chapter concludes with a reflection on some of the contemporary challenges for the media-policy relationship in a rapidly evolving digital media environment.

Growing up in Bulgaria during the “transition” years, as a then fifteen-year old, I spent the summer of 1990 queuing up at the neighborhood newsstand waiting for the daily delivery of freshly printed newspapers. Shortages of goods, including food and gasoline, caused long lines in front of many stores, but the crowd waiting at the kiosk was eager to read about the latest political developments, and especially popular were the newspapers published by the newly established opposition parties. While there was no scarcity of political news via television and radio, there was always something special about the print media, much of which, including entertainment weeklies, were such a novelty. Twenty or so years later, I spent another summer among newspapers, in the archives of the National Library in Sofia, poring through the pages and—with no digitization of archives—collecting photographs of news articles published before each of the national legislative elections since 1990. Much has changed in the media environment since then, yet the study of media in post-communist societies and especially its relations to voters, parties, and politics in general is still in its infancy.

The Relationship

Leaks of highly classified information, popular views of government national security efforts, and changes in the media environment in recent years have resulted in a significant decay in the relationship between the government and the media and public trust in both institutions. To correct this harmful trend, a significant recalibration of the government-media relationship and the establishment of a new compact between them would best serve the public interest. The government should be more transparent about its national security efforts and more self-critical in classification decisions and should explain national security activities it undertakes, defending and justifying classified programs in detail whenever possible. The press must likewise be willing to afford the government fair treatment, including noting government efforts to protect national security, and to appropriately balance civil rights and privacy. It is important that these institutions work together to establish new mores on classification, government transparency, and a more responsible approach to classified disclosures.

The analysis of the scientific and pedagogical literature, during which the essence of the concepts of «media literacy» and «media competence» is revealed through different views of scientists is performed in the article. We understand media competence as a set of knowledge, skills, abilities that contribute to the search, selection, interpretation, use, evaluation, critical analysis, creation and transmission of media information. The media competence of future doctors we consider as their competence in the application of media technologies in their professional activities. Media competence includes competence of information, competence of communication, informational and communicative competences. Media competence is formed through media literacy, which, in turn, is achieved in the process of media education. It helps individuals to think critically, which helps to form a certain understanding and make competent decisions in response to media information. We define media literacy as a process of personal development through the media and in order to form media culture, develop communicative and creative abilities, critical thinking, skills of finding, interpreting, evaluating and analyzing media information with the help of media technologies. That is, a media literate person is able to control the media and navigate in the media environment, to find the necessary information, can control erroneous messages.

The Relationship

Subject The relationship between the president and the media. Significance In his July 24 State of the Nation Address, President Rodrigo Duterte again criticised the media for ‘unfair’ coverage. This time, he asserted that the Rappler media outlet was US-owned, an accusation that Rappler denies. Separately, the Inquirer media group said on July 17 that it is in talks to sell a majority stake to San Miguel’s Ramon Ang, a Duterte ally. Duterte has often also accused the Philippine Daily Inquirer newspaper and ABS-CBN television of unfair reporting. He has also threatened not to renew ABS-CBN’s 25-year operating license when this comes due in 2020. Impacts Traditional Philippine media face increasing competition from online and social-media-based news. Social media will become progressively more important in Philippine political campaigns. Journalists’ security in the Philippines is unlikely to improve much during Duterte’s administration. Government non-renewal-of-license threats could spread, likely undermining media firms’ share prices.

Design And Testing

Abstract The design and testing of gaskets for severe, possibly life threatening, liquid media, like hydrofluoric acid, is critical and difficult. This paper shows the relationship between basic gasket stress calculations, of applied load over the gasket sealing area, actual gasket stress test results, and dye penetrant test results. The gasket designs evaluated will be from across the industry and follow the typical design of having expanded PTFE (ePTFE) as the inner sealing element for the harsh media and a redundant flexible graphite sealing element that will seal the media as well as give an expected fire test rating. The gaskets tested had different structural designs for sealing the media as well as providing corrosive protection for the clamping flanges. There was both supported and unsupported ePTFE sealing elements. Some designs are new, and one has been in service for years. The basic calculations typically used to determine adequate gasket stress showed that all the gaskets should seal effectively. The question is: Would they all equally help protect the flange face from corrosive damage? The data from the actual applied gasket stress correlates nearly perfectly to the dye penetrant results but varies from expected stress distribution of the typical gasket stress calculation. The paper will cover the theoretical calculation approach, the test methodology for the actual applied gasket stress, the methods for ensuring applicable dye penetrant testing and comparing the results to each other. The results show that under equal clamping loads, the different structural designs directly impact the ability for fluid to penetrate the ePTFE section of the gaskets.

The Relationship

The paper presents outcomes of a research on sex and age specificity of motivational and value-based attitude to learning in high school students.The study involved schoolchildren of 8—11 grades (aged 14 to 17 years) of two Moscow schools with a traditional learning paradigm.The students’ motives were revealed by factor analysis of their answers to 70 statements, in four selected groups of boys and girls separately.A total of 328 people were interviewed, including 94 boys of the younger group (8—9 grades) and 75 boys of the senior group (10—11 grades), 90 girls of the younger group (grades 8-9) and 69 girls of the senior group (10—11 grades).Correlations between the nature of motivation and value orientations were also identified based on the ranking of 12 terminal (according to Rokich) and 10 learning values: common protocols were obtained for 67 boys (8—9 classes) and 53 boys (10—11 classes), 60 girls (8 9 classes) and 59 girls (10—11 classes).As a result, it was revealed that the age-related changes in motivation and its relationship with values at high school age have a pronounced sex-based specificity.For boys, successful learning in the process of growing up remains a means for approval and self-affirmation, and the relationship between motivation and values is not consistent enough.As for girls, the relationship between achievement motivation, self-determination, self-affirmation and corresponding values becomes more consistent as they grow up, which indicates a more mature perception of the process of learning.
