It is increasingly clear that to understand religion in the 21st Century we must also understand media and the ways that religions are being remade through their interaction with modern media. Culture… is that complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, law, customs, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society. Mass media means technology that is intended to reach a mass audience. It is the primary means of communication used to reach the vast majority of the general public…. mass media of communication: the techniques and institutions through which centralized providers broadcast or distribute information and other forms of symbolic communication to large, heterogeneous and geographically dispersed audiences

<p>The 21st century has brought with it many changes to our contemporary society. These changes are expressed in different ways, including the way we communicate, our life style, climate conditions, and short and medium term societal concerns.</p><p><br />In today’s word, the Internet is our primary means of communication. Social media like Twitter are the fastest way to share the news: today, for example, the Mayor elect of Bogota (Colombia) twitted the names of his cabinet members (1). Young people use Facebook as the main way to communicate, and apps such as Skype, Hangouts or WhatsApp are growing in popularity because of their ease and versatility, considering that they can be used in tablets and smart phones (2). In the field of healthcare, patients are increasingly keen to find information about aspects of the treatment and prognosis for their health conditions. They search for sources of information on the Web and, therefore, play a more active role in decision-making regarding the management of their conditions. On the other hand, in the field of continuing medical education, on-line lectures are used with growing frequency instead of, or as complement to, conventional classroom lectures, given their potential to reach larger audiences and their ability to accomodate different time schedules and allow for varying degrees of interactivity (3).</p>

This paper aims to underline how hidden selves rediscover their identity when they are translating or are being translated into the language of their ethnic origin. It compares two specific instances in which translations have been the primary means through which two famous Italian women writers, both of whom received thoroughly Italian formal educations and considered themselves thoroughly Italian, or “thoroughly translated women into Italian” to recall Rushdie, rediscovered their Armenian identity. The authors are the late 19th and early 29th century Italian-Armenian poetess Vittoria Aganoor and the late 20th and early 21st century novelist Antonia Arslan.

Small dislocation loops observed by transmission electron microscopy exhibit a characteristic black-white strain contrast when observed under dynamical imaging conditions. In many cases, the topography and orientation of the image may be used to determine the nature of the loop crystallography. Two distinct but somewhat overlapping procedures have been developed for the contrast analysis and identification of small dislocation loops. One group of investigators has emphasized the use of the topography of the image as the principle tool for analysis. The major premise of this method is that the characteristic details of the image topography are dependent only on the magnitude of the dot product between the loop Burgers vector and the diffracting vector. This technique is commonly referred to as the (g•b) analysis. A second group of investigators has emphasized the use of the orientation of the direction of black-white contrast as the primary means of analysis.
