Communicative Processes

This article addresses the communicative processes through which leaders succeed or fail to generate public support for going to war. In order to answer this question, I rely on the framing literature’s insight that cultural congruence helps make frames resonate with an audience. Yet, my argument examines this phenomenon in greater depth. There is more to cultural congruence than selecting commonplaces such as analogies and metaphors from a repertoire that the audience widely shares. Culturally congruent framing also features a genre and more general themes that are taken out of such a repertoire. My empirical analysis of Tony Blair’s communicative moves to sway the British public to fight over Kosovo and Iraq provides empirical evidence for this framework. This study makes two important contributions. First, it highlights that public contestations about going to war criss-cross the overly neat categories proposed by most scholars interested in this phenomenon. Second, in identifying different dimensions of framing, this article deepens our understandings of cultural congruence.

Congruence Test

Abstract In this research, entrance surface doses of patients which are resulted from a classical radiograph in most widespread tests (Chest, skull, abdomen, limbs, …) have been measured with selected instruments in (Specialized surgeries hospital) and one of the private clinic in Baghdad, the instruments are of various origins and different make date. A group of patients (10 patients) for each test and according the average of the resulted doses. Comparison of the patient’s doses, in this research, has been close with the reliable International standards and it has been found that radiological doses are bigger than reference doses ranging (132–1.79) in most of the appliance and the range doses to one whenever the instrument is new and the radiographer has good experience, this increase relates to several functions discussed in the research in detail For the importance of the quality assurance of x-ray instruments, three tests have been performed by three of the instruments only, and these tests are : Beam Alignment test : The Beam Alignment was measured and the x-ray radiograph was found symmetrical round the two axes of the instruments (A, B) but it is about 3 ° away from the vertical axis of the instrument (C). Optical and Radiation Field Congruence Test: The light field coincides with the radiative field in a and b and their mismatch in c. Focal Spot Size Test: The radiation focus area was measured by the star tool and what appeared is that the focus of the x-ray instrument (C) is smaller than the international standards on the contrary of the focus area of the x-ray instrument (E) which is identical with the international standards. From these results reached is that the instruments (A, B) have passed quality assurance tests and they are suitable for work in the present, but the instrument (C) has not passed most of the quality assurance tests, so this instrument should not be used for medical tests This in research is considered the first one for these instruments to evaluate their doses or measure a quality assurance.

The Relationship

Recognize the importance of employee satisfaction in any organization, this study is piloted to forestall the effect of Internal Marketing Practice and Market Sensing capability on employees’ satisfaction in the context of the Indonesian textile industry as one of the fast-growing industry criteria in Asian markets. The drive behind this study is to examine the relationship between Internal marketing practice, Market Sensing Capability, and Employee Satisfaction. Furthermore, this study plans to see that how Cultural congruence moderates the relationship between Employee Satisfaction through Internal Marketing Practice along with Market Sensing Capability by advancing a research model. According to this study’s requirement, the quantitative methodology is chosen, with purposive method of 323 employees was selected and analyzed.  By using a web-based survey approach was selected for data, entailing of structured questionnaire. A structural equation model was operated for results on AMOS that supported the hypothetical relationship between all hypotheses. This study will guide the managers of textile firms to recognize that how important is employee satisfaction and how they can improve their practices to strengthen employee satisfaction. This study also contributes in cultural Congruence and market sensing capability literature. It is not free from limitations specifically in terms of sample size and variables that can be addressed in the future.

Abstract Objectives Efforts to integrate nutrition into antenatal health promotion in low income countries have led to increased involvement of community health workers (CHWs) in counseling on maternal nutrition. Little is known about how CHWs “package” messages in resource-poor communities to increase adoption of recommended maternal nutrition behaviors. We developed focused ethnographic techniques to explore this. Methods We interviewed 35 randomly selected CHWs providing monthly counseling to pregnant women and their families in 7 ‘Alive & Thrive’ intervention sites in Bangladesh. Two sorting exercises explored CHW strategies for promoting and perceptions of adoption of messages on micronutrient supplements, maternal dietary adequacy, and rest during pregnancy. In-depth probing on messages identified as “difficult” to deliver or adopt revealed how CHWs addressed barriers. Analysis of quantitative sorting data complemented thematic coding of qualitative textual data using grounded theory. Results CHW communication strategies involved 3 themes: feasibility (attitudes, norms, agency, poverty), audience (influence, motivators, support), and linguistic choice (emotional appeals, metaphors, logic, sellable but inaccurate arguments). CHWs viewed micronutrient messages as least difficult to adopt, requiring minimal “packaging”. Dietary messages were moderately difficult to adopt, prompting CHWs to leverage cultural congruence to target family members with different strategies. For example, messaging on diet diversity targeted husbands—the primary food-buyers—with logical arguments highlighting costs of inaction. When mothers-in-law held beliefs restricting gestational food intake, CHWs used metaphors (‘healthy tree, healthy fruit’) or faith-based appeals. Some CHWs used inaccurate messages (‘mother rests, baby rests’) to promote rest during pregnancy because it was seen as the least feasible behavior to adopt. Conclusions Where behavior change is viewed as feasible, CHWs use culturally resonant strategies to enhance adoption of maternal nutrition behaviors. Cultural congruence, or shared beliefs, language and cultural identity, is key to CHW effectiveness, but unhelpful for contextually infeasible behaviors. BCC programs co-designed with CHWs could improve messaging and effectiveness. Funding Sources Cornell AWARE Travel Grant.
