Healthcare communications is a niche area of the professional communication field that has been studied from a social identity perspective by several researchers. In this qualitative study, interviews and documents were collected to evaluate the relationship between internal communications and social identity at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Results showed a process of internal communications management that began with planning communications, moved through implementation and then involved measuring communications practices and planning for future changes. Throughout this process, the ‘unique identity’ of St. Michael’s Hospital was used as an inspiration for communications planning, messaging and measurement in order to reinforce a valid identity for employees. Moving forward, the public affairs and communications department could further expand their staff training and measurement tools in order to further solidify their status as an adaptive communications system.

<p>Este artigo analisa a relação do Plano Nacional de Educação com a escola, em especial, os reflexos que produz como políticas públicas em seu cotidiano. Também analisa a questão de sua judicialidade e suas consequências. Aborda o papel do Ministério Público como protagonista de ações que busquem a concretização dos planos, com a fiscalização dos prazos previstos, das metas, das estratégias e dos direitos assegurados. Com a constatação da falha, a negociação articulada e/ou a indução para a efetivação de política pública específica deve ser o caminho a seguir. O trabalho enfatiza que a participação de todos redunda do modelo democrático assumido pelo País e previsto constitucionalmente. Entretanto, essa participação tem outro efeito: o princípio do pertencimento da coisa pública.</p><p> </p><p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p><p> </p><p>This article analyzes the relationship of the National Education Plan with the school, especially the reflexes that produces as public policies in their daily lives.

Recent scholarship suggests that overreliance on social networks for news and public affairs is associated with the belief that one no longer needs to actively seek information. Instead, individuals perceive that the “news will find me” (NFM) and detach from the regular habit of traditional news consumption. This study examines effects of the NFM perception on political knowledge, political interest, and electoral participation. Drawing on a nationally representative panel survey from the United States ( N = 997), this study finds that the NFM perception is negatively associated with both political knowledge and political interest across two time periods. The NFM perception also leads to negative, indirect effects on voting as the relationship is mediated through lower reported levels of political knowledge and interest in politics. The findings add to current conversations about the ability of personalized information networks to adequately inform and engage the public.

Resumen El término homosexual condensó entre 1950 y 1990 en Uruguay una yuxtaposición de sentidos muy distintos y fue objeto de fuertes disputas. Este artículo buscar rastrear esos sentidos analizando cómo fue variando la etiología de la homosexualidad en el discurso psiquiátrico, la relación entre este y la clase social en el campo de la izquierda de los años sesenta, así como el régimen autoritario lo incluyó dentro de la categoría de subversión. El trabajo se cierra con el análisis de la proliferación de nuevos sentidos que vivió la palabra homosexual durante la transición democrática: para muchos fue sinónimo de VIH-SIDA de travestis y de indefinición, mientras que para otros fue intercambiable con el término gay y se constituyó en una identidad social legítima sostenida con orgullo en el espacio público a través de diferentes tipos de acción colectiva. Palabras clave Historia conceptual; homosexual; Uruguay. SummaryThe term homosexual condensed between 1950 and 1990 in Uruguay a juxtaposition of very different meanings and was the object of strong disputes. This article seeks to trace these meanings by analyzing the variations in the etiology of homosexuality in psychiatric discourse, the relationship between this discourse and social class in the left of the 1960s, and how the authoritarian regime included it within the category of subversion. The work ends with the analysis of the proliferation of new meanings the word homosexual underwent during the democratic transition – for many it was synonymous with HIV-AIDS, transvestites and indefinition, while for others it was interchangeable with the term gay and turned into a legitimate social identity held with pride in the public space through different types of collective action.

This paper maps the basic opposition groups that influenced the Egyptian political system in the last years of Hosni Mubarak’s rule. It approaches the nature of the relationship between the system and the opposition through use of the concept of “semi-opposition.” An examination and evaluation of the opposition groups shows the extent to which the regime—in order to appear that it was opening the public sphere to the opposition—had channels of communication with the Muslim Brotherhood. The paper also shows the system’s relations with other groups, such as “Kifaya” and “April 6”; it then explains the reasons behind the success of the Muslim Brotherhood at seizing power after the ousting of President Mubarak.

Today in Germany, religion and the churches forfeit their sovereignty of interpretation and ritual concerning death and dying. The funeral director is the first point of contact when death occurs. Therefore he or she is able to influence the relationship between the living and the dead. In the course of this development, the dead body, often referred to as dirty and dangerous, is being sanitized by funeral directors. Funeral directors credit the dead body with a certain quality; they claim that facing the dead may lead to religious or spiritual experiences, and therefore they encourage the public viewing of the dead – a practice which was, and still is not very common in Germany. The new connotation of the dead body is an example for the dislimitation of religion in modern society. The religious framing of death-related practises no longer exclusively belongs to traditional religious institutions and actors, but can take place in commercial business companies as well.
