Il decoro dell’esercizio professionale è la dimensione esterna del professionista, il modo in cui si mostra agli altri, l’immagine che un soggetto costruisce di se stesso nell’ambiente lavorativo. Sebbene la professione infermieristica sia in continuo mutamento, dovendosi adattare ai cambiamenti dettati dal contesto socio-culturale nel quale opera, il decoro professionale è un valore costante che contribuisce a determinare la credibilità e la rispettabilità della famiglia professionale. Il nursing, negli ultimi anni, opera non solo nei classici setting di cura ma anche all’interno di una grande piattaforma multimediale, internet, che oggi è il canale di informazione più utilizzato e veloce. Sebbene ciò consenta di accrescere il senso di identità professionale della categoria, mettendo in comunicazione infermieri di tutto il mondo e riunendoli in grandi community, rappresenta uno strumento ‘pericoloso’. Infatti, non pochi sono i casi nei quali gli infermieri, nei social network, sono stati protagonisti di eventi che hanno leso la privacy degli assistiti e il decoro della famiglia professionale di appartenenza. Per questo nasce l’esigenza di comprendere il significato del decoro e come esso si esprima nelle azioni e nei pensieri di coloro che saranno i professionisti di domani. Nel presente studio viene effettuata un’analisi in ambito deontologico e normativo del significato di decoro, distinguendolo da quello dell’etica e della dignità professionale. Attraverso poi un’indagine empirica viene ricercato come gli studenti infermieri definiscano, tutelino e perseguano il decoro professionale sia nell’attività lavorativa quotidiana sia all’interno della grande piattaforma multimediale. ---------- The decorum concept can be conceived as the external dimension of the professional, the way in which he/she shows himself/herself to others, the image that he/she builds of himself/herself in the working environment. Considering that, although the concept of nursing is constantly changing, in order to adapt to the adjustments dictated by its socio- cultural context, the professional decorum remains an unquestionable value that contributes to determine the credibility and respectability of the professional family. Furthermore, the contemporary nursing assets do not operate only in classic care settings but also within a large multimedia platform, the internet, embodied in the most currently used and fast communication system. While this has allowed to enhance the sense of professional identity, with the possibility to connect nurses from all over the world and to gather them into one big community, the internet still represents a very ambiguous tool. Quite a few cases have been reported in which nurses, especially in social networks, made themselves responsible of acts that have damaged not only the privacy of the patients but also the dignity of the professional family they belong to. Therefore it seems urgent to reconsider the meaning of dignity and how it can be expressed through the actions of the incoming nursing assets. In the present study, a first analysis of the meaning of decorum is made by a deontological and normative perspective with the aim of distinguishing it from that of ethics and professional dignity. Then, through the results of an empirical survey, it is shown how nursing students define, pursue and preserve the professional decorum in the daily working activities, but also, and more importantly, within the multimedia platform.

Popularity of the social media and the amount of importance given by an individual to social media has significantly increased in last few years. As more and more people become part of the social networks like Twitter, Facebook, information which flows through the social network, can potentially give us good understanding about what is happening around in our locality, state, nation or even in the world. The conceptual motive behind the project is to develop a system which analyses about a topic searched on Twitter. It is designed to assist Information Analysts in understanding and exploring complex events as they unfold in the world. The system tracks changes in emotions over events, signalling possible flashpoints or abatement. For each trending topic, the system also shows a sentiment graph showing how positive and negative sentiments are trending as the topic is getting trended.

The article presents the study of the media image of China in the Russian Internet texts. The purpose of the study is to identify the language means of shaping the media image of China in blogs about Chinese opera. The material involves some of the topical blogs published on the Internet version of «Live Journal» and the «Magazeta». In those materials, the media image of China is partially formed by various aspects of Chinese opera as a cultural phenomenon: it is the cultural context in which Chinese opera exists; features of diverse opera genres; images of performers; audience responses; assessments and feelings of bloggers. The possibilities of expression of different kinds of language means are revealed, so is the authors’ perception of this type of art. It is concluded that the media image created in blogs about Chinese opera by various language means represents China as a country with a long history and unique culture. Chinese opera not only occupies an important place in the world art, but also vividly and meaningfully reflects the mystery of China.

Исследуется кризис вербальности контента в интернет-дискурсе, его активная визуализация, связанная с новыми открытиями в области компьютерных технологий. Цель работы - дать полиаспектную характеристику этому явлению и обозначить перспективы его влияния на речемыслительную деятельность подрастающего поколения, составляющего большую часть пользователей социальных сетей. Актуальность данной проблематики обусловлена обеспокоенностью филологической общественностью тем, что мир становится все менее лингвистическим. Новизна заключается в том, что впервые интернет-дискурс рассматривается в контексте кризиса вербальности контента. При таких темпах визуализации медиатекстов вполне вероятно обострение кризиса вербальности, последствия которого могут негативно сказаться на мыслетворческой деятельности у подрастающего поколения, которая возможна только при высокой языковой компетенции. The paper examines the crisis of content verbality in the Internet discourse, its active visualization associated with new discoveries in the field of computer technology. The aim of the work is to give a multi-aspect characterization of this phenomenon and outline the prospects of its influence on the speech-thinking activity of the younger generation, which makes up the majority of users of social networks. The relevance of this issue is due to the concern of the philological community that the world is becoming less and less linguistic. The novelty lies in the fact that for the first time Internet discourse is considered in the context of the crisis of content verbality. At such a rate of visualization of media texts, it is likely that the crisis of verbality will aggravate, the consequences of which can negatively affect the thinking activity of the younger generation, which is possible only with high linguistic competence.

This article presents a nuanced approach for qualitative research on the Internet, based on the synthesis of qualitative data-gathering methodologies both online and offline, and contributes to recent knowledge of changing practices within Yārsāni communities around the world. Yārsān is a religious belief of Indo-Iranian origin that traces back to Hooraman, a region in Iranian Kurdistan. Yārsān thought, which Islamic Shiite authorities treat as heretical, has extensively used processes of adaptation and strategies of survival throughout the course of its history. The research presented here makes a case for the significance of the Internet and, more specifically, social network sites in connecting Yārsānis in their homelands and in the diaspora. How does Facebook provide a new space for this minority group to disclose their beliefs to the world, thereby reassessing the clandestine nature of their religion, which is a tenet required by traditional belief and defined by their adage, “don’t tell the secret”?
