The modern information space is characterized by the active and rapid formation of the network principle of interpersonal communications, which significantly changes the foundations of the communication process. Today, new technologies for creating information products are being actively developed. Information technology and innovation are becoming the main products of the post-industrial economy. Currently, the mechanism of trade transactions with those types of intangible goods is being fundamentally changed, people have the opportunity to choose sources of information, the number of channels is growing, etc. That ultimately leads to increased information openness of the world. The development of the Internet leads to an increase in interpersonal communications, and that, in turn, changes the public structure of society. The article attempts to analyse the understanding of the current changes that the information globalization entails.

The Ideal

According to Ong (1986), for a long time, in the human history, direct or vis-à-vis communication has been the only modality of communication; traditions have essentially been oral and their survival depended on the continuous renewal, which was represented by the vis-à-vis narration of stories and activities. In this way, the oral culture has created some expedients to remind and let people remind some aspects: a certain structure of the speech (fixed themes, formulas, proverbs, rhythmic style, etc.), a particular kind of (narrative) speech, a specific behavioral schematization (“strong” characters, types). The communication process is always a fundamental and essential process (Wright, 1976): it involves individuals in a deep relationship inside which the linguistic and paralinguistic codes, which come into play, take on complex meanings. In fact, despite the apparent facility through which two or more people come into contact among them, the deep sense of communication is something which is complicated and mysterious. Each person, who is involved in the communication process, attributes, on the basis of his/her subjective and social-group existential experience, his/her own meaning to each sign. According to Wolton (2006), communication has to do with four dimensions, which are complementary among them: first of all, communication is the ideal of expression and exchange which is at the origin of the Western culture and of democracy; talking about democracy presumes, as a basic concept, the existence of free and equal individuals. Communication concerns also those media which have remarkably transformed the relationships between communication and society. Still, communication concerns the whole mechanism of the new technologies that, with information science, telecommunications, audiovisuals and their interconnection, have globally modified the premises of the exchange of messages and power. In the end, communication includes also all those values, those symbols and those representations which function as a mechanism for the functioning of the public space, of democracies and of the international community through information and media.

The paper builds econometric models that allow us to evaluate the influence of the main productionfactors, defining the level of labour income in the country. Capital/labour ratio, human capital and new technology explain over 70% of earned income. The effect of changes in the level of human capital on labor income surpasses the effect of changes in capital/labour ratio.The impact of capital/labour ratio has been steadily declining, whereas the influence of human capital and new technologies has been increasing. These arenew factors, the most important ones for the development of post-industrial economy. The growth of their influence shows that the economic system of the country adapts to the prevailing institutional conditionsunfavorable for Russia’s industrial economy.

Medios De Comunicacion

The new technologies of collaboration developed in Internet have led to a change in the relationship between mass media and its audiences. These tools of participation help the sources of information to become closer to the receivers and, in the other hand, facilitate the role interchanging between both agents in the communication process. The television, as mass media, has to be aware of this phenomenon and experiment with new models of participation with its viewers. Las nuevas tecnologías de colaboración que se están desarrollando en el entorno de Internet están provocando un cambio en las relaciones entre los medios de comunicación y sus audiencias. Estas herramientas de participación posibilitan, por un lado, la aproximación entre las fuentes de información y sus destinatarios, y por otro, el intercambio de roles entre ambos elementos del proceso de comunicación. La televisión, como medio de comunicación social, ha de ser consciente de este fenómeno y experimentar nuevos modelos de participación con su público. Las televisiones ven que el modelo unidireccional de comunicación sobre el que se han asentado desde su nacimiento se encuentra en crisis. Sus índices de audiencia han de competir con nuevos medios alternativos que se están desarrollando en Internet. Los blogs, videoblogs, wikis y otras herramientas de colaboración en la Red favorecen que cada vez haya más actores en el proceso de comunicación social que quieran hacer oir su voz. Las audiencias de televisión forman parte de un nuevo movimiento de los ciudadanos que reclaman un papel activo en la comunicación. Quieren dejar de ser telespectadores y pasar a coproducir la televisión que consumen. Para ello se ven capacitados por nuevas tecnologías como la telefonía móvil y la integración de cámaras de vídeo digital que les permiten ser narradores de excepción de su propia experiencia. Algunos acontecimientos periodísticos de los últimos meses, como el desastre del tsunami en Asia y los atentados de Londres, han demostrado el valor de la contribución de los ciudadanos como «reporteros ocasionales». Además de la proliferación de canales alternativos y la difusión de cámaras digitales portátiles, el avance en la tecnología de los aparatos de grabación de vídeo digital en el hogar hace que cada vez sea más fácil evitar la publicidad convencional de los anuncios de televisión. Las empresas de marketing se enfrentan también al reto de diseñar productos y estrategias orientados a este telespectador que no sólo quiere consumir mensajes sino también participar en los procesos de producción. En los estudios tradicionales sobre audiencias en televisión se hace énfasis en los usos que los telespectadores hacen de los productos televisivos pero apenas se consideran dos aspectos que definen los públicos de hoy y de mañana: su capacidad para consumir varios medios de comunicación a la vez y su capacidad para ser productor de mensajes mediáticos. Las empresas de televisión deben hacer un esfuerzo por conocer a su público y estudiar las posibles vías de colaboración que pueden ofrecerle para participar juntos del proceso de comunicación. En la búsqueda de nuevas fórmulas de relación con la audiencia, la cadena británica BBC está demostrando una apertura a la experimentación con proyectos que permiten cierta integración de su público.

The purpose of the article is to assess the nature of the evolution of the institution of political parties in post – Soviet Russia. The article substantiates that political parties continue to be one of the leading political institutions in the modern Russian Federation. The premature to recognize the functional incapacity of party institutions in the post-industrial/information society is noted. It is argued that political parties continue to be a link between society and state power, and retain the potential for targeted and regular influence on strategic directions of social development. The research methodology is based on the principles of consistency, which allowed us to analyze various sources of information and empirical data on trends and prospects for the evolution of the party system in the Russian Federation. As a result, the authors come to the conclusion that in Russian conditions the convergence of party elites with state bureaucracy is increasing, and there is a distance between political parties and civil society.

The process for providing accounting information to the public has not changed much in the last century even though the extent of disclosure has increased signifi-cantly. Sundem et al. (1996) suggest that the primary benefit of audited financial statements may not be decision usefulness but the discipline imposed by timely confirmation of previously available information. In general, the value of information from the audited financial statement will decline as the audit report lag (the time period between a company's fiscal year end and the date of the audit report) increases since competitively oriented users may obtain substitute sources of information. Furthermore, the literature on earnings quality and earnings management suggests that unexpected reporting delays may be associated with lower quality information. The purpose of this paper is to extend our understanding about the determinants of audit report lag using a proprietary database containing 226 audit engagements from an international public accounting firm. We examine three previously uninvestigated audit firm factors that potentially influence audit report lag and are controllable by the auditor: (1) incremental audit effort (e.g., hours), (2) the resource allocation of audit team effort measured by rank (partner, manager, or staff), and (3) the provision of nonaudit services (MAS and tax). The results indicate that incremental audit effort, the presence of contentious tax issues, and the use of less experienced audit staff are positively correlated with audit report lag. Further, audit report lag is decreased by the potential synergistic relationship between MAS and audit services.

This chapter introduces the “Perspectives” section of the Handbook of Living Machines offering an overview of the different contributions gathered here that consider how biomimetic and biohybrid systems will transform our personal lives and social organizations, and how we might respond to the challenges that these transformations will inevitably pose to our ‘posthuman’ worlds. The authors in this section see it as essential that those who aspire to create living machines engage with the public to confront misconceptions, deep anxieties, and unrealistic aspirations that presently dominate the cultural imagination, and to include potential users in questions of design and utility as new technologies are being developed. Human augmentation and enhancement are other important themes addressed, raising important questions about what it means fundamentally to be ‘human’. These questions and challenges are addressed through the lens of the social and personal impacts of new technologies on human selves, the public imagination, ethics, and human relationships.

Cancer Beliefs

IntroductionFatalistic cancer beliefs may contribute to delayed diagnosis and poor outcomes, including treatment abandonment, for children with cancer. This study explored Guatemalan parents’ cancer beliefs during initial paediatric cancer communication, and the sociocultural and contextual factors that influence these beliefs.MethodsTwenty families of children with cancer were included in this study. We audio-recorded psychosocial conversations with psychologists and diagnostic conversations with oncologists, then conducted semi-structured interviews with parents to explore the evolution of their cancer beliefs. Audio-recordings were transcribed and translated from Spanish into English, with additional review in both languages by bilingual team members. All 60 transcripts were thematically analysed using a priori and novel codes.ResultsGuatemalan parents’ beliefs evolve as they learn about cancer through various sources. Sources of information external to the cancer centre, including prior experiences with cancer, media exposure, community discussion and clinical encounters, contribute to pre-existing beliefs. Many parents’ pre-existing cancer beliefs are fatalistic; some are influenced by Mayan spirituality. Sources internal to the cancer centre include psychologists and oncologists, other providers, other patients and families. Psychologists acknowledge pre-existing beliefs and deliver cancer education using verbal explanations and hand-drawings. Oncologists provide diagnostic information and outline treatment plans. Both support hope by providing a path toward cure. Parents’ lived experience is a culmination of sources and simultaneously independent. Ultimately most parents arrive at an understanding of cancer that is consistent with an allopathic medical model and offers optimism about outcomes.ConclusionAn interdisciplinary communication process that includes cancer education, is attentive to pre-existing beliefs, and supports hope may encourage acceptance of the allopathic medical model and need for treatment. Providers in settings of all resource levels may be able to use these techniques to support cross-cultural cancer communication, reduce treatment abandonment and improve therapy adherence.
