This essay dates back to a series of lectures we ran some years ago, and to respective manuscripts written for students to help them prepare for their exams. The idea is to summarize some of the most relevant empirically confirmed theories and findings on interpersonal communication in a brief compendium. That is why – thus deviating from usual scientific conventions – no references will be found within the following discourse. The scientific authors which we are, above all, obliged to many thanks are: Watzlawick, Argyle, Scherer, and Schulz von Thun. Their pioneering research work will be cited among our references.

This study aimed at investigating the nature of educational tourism by the adoption of means-end chain approach. Data was collected by interviewing three college students who finished the survey at Panxi area in 2020. Means-end chain approach, then, was employed to analyze the data. Findings show that a total of six meaningful paths: professional competence - research work - the integrated value of knowing and doing, destination health tourism resources -research work - the integration of knowing and doing, professional competence - interpersonal communication -research motivation - the integration of knowing and doing, destination travel Impressions - research work – discovery, travel habits -research work – discovery, and interpersonal communication - research work - leisure and social value could be met to be the approached to the nature of educational tourism. For example, college students hope to bring together their knowledge and behavior by participating in educational tourism. By verifying their professional ability (attributes), completing the research work (results), and reflecting the study of tourism to use, and the integration of knowing and doing. Moreover, recommendations to the government, industry, and future research were drawn.

Feelings such as fear, anger, happiness, pain, love, and hatred, are arisen due to the surrounding environment or people, generally known as emotions. Emotions are the part of a human character that consists of their feelings, contrasting to their thoughts. Emotion detection is viral nowadays, as humans do their work from day to night without giving proper attention to their health. Because of that, stress increases day by day. The detection and prediction of human emotions are essential for controlling and handling critical situations. Interpersonal communication is about the language that is spoken and non-verbal indications like facial expression, hand and body gestures, tone of voice that are used for expressing their feeling and providing feedback. This research work proposes a system to classify human sentiments with the help of electrodermal activity and discriminate between different-different emotions viz. happy and relax, pain, etc. In this study, the GSR (Grove – GSR Sensor V1.2) sensor was used to observe 12 people. Data pre-processing done by using Moving Average Window and Normalization method. The analysis of data was computed in the time domain. The Supervised machine learning model used for classification viz. Support vector machine, Decision Tree, k-nearest neighbour. The study was conducted in CEERI's machine vision lab. The predicted accuracy for happy, relax, and pain activity was 91%, 97%, and 98%, respectively, with the help of a k-nearest neighbour model. The best suitable model to discriminate human sentiments is the KNN algorithm among all investigated supervised machine learning models.

The article deals with the conditions of developing a theoretical foundation of students’ basic media literacy knowledge as well as practical skills of effective and safe interaction with information received from various media sources, including the use of modern information and communication technology in practical daily life, namely during the study process and interpersonal communication. The article explores how integrating media literacy into the educational process can help foster critical thinking, as well as the skills of understanding the implicit meanings of different messages, and the ability to counteract the manipulation of individual conscience on part of mass media outlets. A real-life illustration thereof can be derived from the experience of Scientific Lyceum #3 in Poltava, where media literacy is integrated in humanitarian subjects. In practice, this is carried out through working on scientific research projects, individual mini-projects, learning to differentiate between and compare the effects of different sources of audiovisual information (e.g. in World Literature lessons, when comparing books to their film adaptations) etc. The authors’ hands-on experience allows them to speak not only to the theoretical background of their research work, which is based on the competency approach, but also introduce a number of useful real-world examples which might be of interest to fellow educators. It is stated that the main objectives of increasing media literacy among students include developing the skills of interacting with diverse forms of media, critical thinking, successful interpersonal communication, facilitating creativity and the ability to analyze and interpret information from various sources as well as express oneself through the means of modern technology. Furthermore, the diversity of tools employed over the course of the lessons ensures that the learning process retains its exciting and engaging nature for the students. The article might be of interest to teachers, students, and anybody who is interested in media literacy within humanitarian subjects and practical application thereof.

Approximately 60,000 tons per day of waste from taconite mining, tailing, are added to the west arm of Lake Superior at Silver Bay. Tailings contain nearly the same amount of quartz and amphibole asbestos, cummingtonite and actinolite in fibrous form. Cummingtonite fibres from 0.01μm in length have been found in the water supply for Minnesota municipalities.The purpose of the research work was to develop a method for asbestos fibre counts and identification in water and apply it for the enumeration of fibres in water samples collected(a) at various stations in Lake Superior at two depth: lm and at the bottom.(b) from various rivers in Lake Superior Drainage Basin.

The advent of the environmental SEM (ESEM) has made possible the examination of uncoated and untreated specimen surfaces in the presence of a gaseous or liquid environment. However, the question arises as to what degree the examined surface remains unaffected by the action of the electron beam. It is reasonable to assume that the beam invariably affects all specimens but the type and degree of effect may be totally unimportant for one class of applications and totally unacceptable for another; yet, for a third class, it is imperative to know how our observations are modified by the presence of the beam. The aim of this report is to create an awareness of the need to initiate research work in various fields in order to determine the guiding rules of the limitations (or even advantages) due to irradiation.

The effects of two short-term interpersonal skills training approaches on the verbal behavior of student speech-language pathologists were evaluated during peer interviews. Students who had participated in an experiential program in which they practiced specific verbal skills used significantly more verbal behaviors though to facilitate a helping relationship than did students whose training had consisted of observing and analyzing these verbal skills in clinical interactions. Comparisons with results of previous research suggest that length of training may be a crucial variable as students appear to need considerable time and practice to master the complex skills necessary for interpersonal effectiveness.

Two distinct spatial metaphors for the passage of time can produce disparate judgments about grieving. Under the object-moving metaphor, time seems to move past stationary people, like objects floating past people along a riverbank. Under the people-moving metaphor, time is stationary; people move through time as though they journey on a one-way street, past stationary objects. The people-moving metaphor should encourage the forecast of shorter grieving periods relative to the object-moving metaphor. In the present study, participants either received an object-moving or people-moving prime, then read a brief vignette about a mother whose young son died. Participants made affective forecasts about the mother’s grief intensity and duration, and provided open-ended inferences regarding a return to relative normalcy. Findings support predictions, and are discussed with respect to interpersonal communication and everyday life.
