Film Text

In the modern information space of the beginning of the XXI century, verbal communication is increasingly combined with various non-verbal ways of transmitting information. Currently in the field of view of researchers heterogeneous texts characterized by a polycode structure. Different recipients decode the same heterogeneous text with varying degrees of depth and adequacy. Traditionally, the following factors influencing the decoding process are distinguished: personal characteristics of the recipient of the heterogeneous text; parameters of the heterogeneous text and the reality reflected in it; the specifics of the situation in which the decoding takes place. Among heterogeneous texts, a special place belongs to film text, the decoding of which is always variant, as it depends on the perception of a particular viewer, and occurs at the level of the text (verbality) and at the level of other means of expression (nonverbality). The polycode nature of modern communication has a powerful influence on the culture of society and linguistic culture in particular, which is primarily manifested in media production. In the broad sense, infotainment is a way of presenting information in an entertainment form based on the hedonistic function of the media and appealing to the audience’s emotions. The most widespread linguistic techniques of infotainment are language play, expressiveness, irony, suspense, dramatization. They are aimed at ensuring the dynamism and creativity of the plot, emotional influence, saturation with means of expressiveness. For linguistic analysis, we consider the term “language marker” of infotainment to be more correct, since linguists deal with a ready-made, already established media product, in which certain language tools mark (indicate, help identify) the format of infotainment, whereas social communication specialists study the mechanisms for creating media products in this format. According to the results of the study, the language markers of infotainment in documentary movies are expressed and concealed, can be correlated or contrast with the video, but they are combined by a pragmatic approach to establish contact with the recipient, to attract and to retain his attention.

Purpose This paper aims to answer the question of how the Polish representatives of social communication and media sciences communicate the most recent scientific findings in the media space, i.e. what types of publications are shared, what activities do they exemplify (sharing information about their own publications, leading discussions, formulating opinions), what is the form of the scientific communication created by them (publication of reference lists' descriptions, full papers, preprints and post prints) and what is the audience reception (number of downloads, displays, comments). Design/methodology/approach The authors present the results of analysis conducted on the presence of the most recent (2017–2019) publications by the Polish representatives of the widely understood social communication and media sciences in three selected social networking services for scientists: ResearchGate, Google Scholar and Academia.edu. The analyses covered 100 selected representatives of the scientific environment (selected in interval sampling), assigned, according to the OECD classification “Field of Science”, in the “Ludzie nauki” (Men of Science) database to the “media and communication” discipline. Findings The conducted analyses prove a low usage level of the potential of three analysed services for scientists by the Polish representatives of social communication and media sciences. Although 60% of them feature profiles in at least one of the services, the rest are not present there at all. From the total of 113 identified scientists' profiles, as little as 65 feature publications from 2017 to 2019. Small number of alternative metrics established in them, implies, in turn, that if these metrics were to play an important role in evaluation of the value and influence of scientific publications, then this evaluation for the researched Polish representatives of social communication and media sciences would be unfavourable. Originality/value The small presence of the Polish representatives of the communication and media sciences in three analysed services shows that these services may be – for the time being – only support the processes of managing own scientific output. Maybe this quite a pessimistic image of scientists' activities in the analysed services is conditioned by a simple lack of the need to be present in electronic channels of scientific communication or the lack of trust to the analysed services, which, in turn, should be linked to their shortcomings and flaws. However, unequivocal confirmation of these hypotheses might be brought by explorations covering a larger group of scientists, and complemented with survey studies. Thus, this research may constitute merely a starting point for further explorations, including elaboration of good practices with respect to usage of social media by scientists.

In the previous research, it was proved that there were so many factors like students’ personal characteristics, family background, learning habits, previous academic background, college environment etc. which influence directly or indirectly the performance of college students in their university examination. The number of such factors has been identified by studying the previous work carried out by different researchers in different geographical areas and boundaries of the world. In many researches, when the opinions of the students and teaching faculties has been taken for similar factors to know the importance of these factors, the significant differences was found in their opinion for some factors. This paper investigates and compares the faculties’ assumptions with the students’ perceptions for various influencing factors. The comparison is done on the basis of their ranking of mean values of the factors allocated by students and faculties independently as per the importance of factors and one way ANOVA is used to check the significance of differences in their opinion. The result shows that there are similarities in the opinions of both, faculties and students, for most of the factors. But for some factors the significant differences in their opinion is also observed. The result of this research can be used for enhancing the performance of students by improving the influencing factors rank-wise. Top ranked factors may be given higher priority. Also this study will provide a platform for continuing the debate on the importance of various influencing factors for engineering students.

Bullying and violence against transitioning children and youth within the Canadian educational system still continues to be a serious cause of stress for children. This paper supports a short documentary film (29 minutes), which includes interviews with children, parents, and teachers about a weeklong program called Gender Splendour that has been held for the past seven years at The Grove Community School in Toronto. Amid workshops during a week in April, non-binary-conforming and cisgender identifying children have the opportunity to ponder, question, and defy gender stereotypes, which are prevalent in society, culture, and the media. A background of the director of the film informs his trajectory as an activist communicator. In addition, some of his inspirational sources are included. Notions playing in the documentary related to activism, reflexive ethnography, performativity, and participatory dynamics, are explained. Producing a documentary on the subjects of sexuality and children surely poses difficulties related to ethics, consent, and representation, on which the author comments.

This article considers how a range of personal characteristics (media scepticism, political interest, need for cognition and media gratifications) influence the political information choices of Australians. Data collection was conducted in Brisbane via a postal survey during March and April 2008. The data revealed that the characteristics associated with information quality have very little influence on media use patterns, indicating that use of the media appears to occur simply as a consequence of other everyday life practices, rather than as an information-seeking activity. People regularly use media they do not trust to find out about politics, calling into question the previously assumed centrality of trust to information choices. If convenience trumps credibility in information selection, the importance of media literacy is heightened. The findings also emphasise the need for more holistic contexts for media research, which consider the broader social contexts and practices in which media-oriented behaviours occur.

This chapter discusses the need for drama, interpersonal closeness, informational susceptibility, and compassion for others and their influence towards gossiping behavior via social chatting applications. Technological advancements have enabled people to communicate with each other at the convenience of their homes and in real time. This change, however, also means the changes in human behaviors, such as computer-mediated communication, can be shaped by the richness of the media that people can use to convey their thoughts and opinions. The existence of different chatting applications has fulfilled the needs of human beings to be connected and to interact with each other, and the interactions that take place can be in the form of gossiping and spreading information that may not necessarily be accurate.

This chapter analyzes the institutional foundation of parliamentary debates in the German Bundestag. Based on 89,920 speeches given between 1990 and 2017, we explore factors influencing debate participation. Some systematic patterns of debate participation emerge: We show that policy expertise is a strong predictor of debate participation as many debates are dominated by the members of the respective working groups of the parliamentary party groups. Moreover, we show that government members and party leaders give more speeches than backbenchers. We find no significant differences between MPs from single-member districts and party lists, which is hardly surprising, given the complex contamination of electoral incentives between the two types of MPs. Personal characteristics of MPs also matter as MP’s gender influences the participation in debates.

Experiments have been carried out with fibrinogen and with purified degradation products of fibrinogen and fibrin which demonstrate that the structure of D fragments obtained after prolonged plasmin digestion is influenced by several factors in the media.The previously described protective effect of calcium ions on the γ-chain carboxy-terminals of fibrinogen against plasmin attack is rather independent of the composition of the media (e.g., also observed in 2 M urea and/or high plasmin activities).Several compounds such as EDTA, EGTA, citrate and iminodiacetic acid appear to have a separate effect, which is best observed at low plasmin concentrations and in the absence of Ca2+ . Under these conditions, these compounds appear to make the γ-chain carboxy-terminal ends of the D- and D-dimer fragments more susceptible to plasmin digestion.Finally, as demonstrated by experiments with purified D;E complexes from fibrinogen and with whole fibrinogen digests, the E-moiety of the D:E complexes appears to be capable of protecting the D-moiety against low plasmin concentrations also in the absence of calcium ions.
