Contemporary social life is often depicted, in and out of the social sciences, as an ever-worsening subterfuge of alienation, ennui, and the systematic destruction of traditional, human-scaled, publicly-accessible, “organic” sociality that people once enjoyed. In this paper I do not contend that these trends in our social and commercial landscape are not happening. I will instead contend that conventional face-to-face sociability thrives even in the face of the loss of many traditional public meeting places. My focus in this piece is on social interaction in independent cafes that are known, and that self-identify, as what coffee connoisseurs term “third-wave” coffeehouses. Deploying the analytic perspective of ethnomethodology, which prioritizes and problematizes the observed and reported lived experiences of research subjects, I argue not only that “authentic” sociality flourishes in these spaces but I also consider the role of shop employees—baristas—in them and uncover their perceptions concerning social interaction between themselves and customers. As such I not only question prevailing understandings about the “death” of traditional sociability but also add to past research on the coffeehouse as social form by problematizing, for the first time, the work world of the baristas and their interactions with customers.

Migrant workers are a different community as they have leave their origin country and entered to a new nation where the social life they had to dealt with differently. Because social life is very important as an individual has hold an ideology, special socio-cultural background and religious affiliation. It is, thus, an important phenomena to assess the perception of migrants about social life, the nature of their involvement in the social setting, the meaning they attach to it and their priorities and preferences in interacting with others. The study is based on the face-to-face interview of 100 Bangladeshis migrant workers who were selected according to two stage sampling procedure. On one stage, an area where Bangladeshi workers reside was selected through random sampling procedure. On the second stage, 100 respondents were selected from the area according to purposive and snowball sampling procedures. The study suggested that adequate measures should be taken to provide pre-departure training on job and Host County’s culture to the expected migrant workers.

Background Social media is an integral part of human social life. More than 90% of young people use social media daily. Current theories, models, and measures are primarily based on face-to-face conceptions, leaving research out of sync with current social trends. This may lead to imprecise diagnoses and predictions. Objective To develop a theoretically based empirical model of current social interfaces to inform relevant measures. Methods A three-stage, qualitative, data-collection approach included anonymous individual Post-it notes, three full-class discussions, and 10 focus groups to explore 82 adolescents’ relational practices. Data analysis followed a meaning-condensation procedure and a field-correspondence technique. Results We developed an empirical model that categorizes adolescents’ social interactions into five experiential positions. Four positions result from trajectories relating to social media and face-to-face social interaction. Positions are described by match or mismatch dynamics between preferred and actual social platforms used. In matched positions, individuals prefer and use both face-to-face and social media platforms (position 1), prefer and use face-to-face platforms (position 2), or prefer and use social media platforms (position 3). In mismatched positions, individuals prefer face-to-face interactions but use social media platforms (position 4) or prefer social media but use face-to-face platforms (position 5). We propose that matched positions indicate good social functioning while mismatched positions indicate serious social challenges. Conclusions We propose a model that will expand previous unidimensional social interaction constructs, and we hypothesize that the described match and mismatch analyses provide conceptual clarity for research and practical application. We discuss prediction value, implications, and model validation procedures.

The Impact

Students also experience the impact of Covid-19 by limiting social interaction. However, social interaction is needed for a child to build character and social skills in interacting with other people. This study aimed to analyze patterns of social interaction in the fourth grade COVID-19 period in elementary school. The research subjects were 3 teachers and 90 students. The research instruments are interviews and questionnaires. The data collection technique used in this study was non-test, namely a questionnaire (questionnaire) and interviews. The results showed that social interaction during the pandemic was less effective. As evidenced by the five indicators, working together has an average score of 82.43%; during a pandemic, it is less effective due to limitations and many obstacles. The openness of the average value of 82.43% is classified as "good," and many students still do not understand technology for online learning and how to use it—empathy, with an average value of 80.95% (good). There is already an awareness in students to empathize with their friends. Giving motivation an average value of 79.70% is classified as "good" when learning students support each other and work together in doing assignments together at home. With a positive sense of the average value of 81.56%, students can develop positive values in the surrounding environment. Similarity with others, the average value is 82.15%, there is an attitude of equality in students to their friends in working on assignments and collecting assignments. It can be concluded that students' social interactions during the current Covid-19 period are not running perfectly compared to face-to-face.

Facial attractiveness plays a key role in social life. Facial attractiveness and smile attractiveness appear strongly linked to one another. The fact is that in social interaction, one’s attention is mainly directed toward the mouth and eyes of the speaker’s face. As the mouth is the focus of communication in the face, the smile plays an important role in facial expression and appearance. Esthetic appearance is extremely subjective and relates to beauty and harmony. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the perception of smile by laymen, orthodontists and Prosthodontists by changing lip size, teeth color and gingival display. This research project was carried out in Saudi Arabia for one year from January to December 2020, following approval by the Institute's Ethics Committee. Materials and Methods: A model was chosen with full permanent dentition, multiple pictures were created and afterwards evaluated by Laymen population, Orthodontists and Prosthodontists. Results: The results of the study reveal that smiles with whiter teeth and thicker lips were judged to be more aesthetic by laypersons compared to orthodontists, and prosthodontists. The minimum amount of gingival display was considered esthetic by the three groups. Perception of Orthodontists and Prosthodontists had no significant difference in gingival display, color of the teeth and thickness of lips.

ResumoEm decorrência da crise sanitária global provocada pela Pandemia de COVID-19, os sistemas dos vários níveis do ensino tiveram que se adaptar rapidamente e de modo precário, substituindo-se a modalidade presencial pela remota, por meio de ferramentas digitais. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a qualidade da ambiência vivenciada pelos estudantes em condições de isolamento doméstico e seu rendimento acadêmico no ensino remoto, aferidas por autoavaliação. Tomaram-se como sujeitos da pesquisa estudantes de graduação e Pós-graduação, em uma amostra de conveniência de 62 indivíduos maiores de 18 anos, de ambos os gêneros, na cidade de Manaus, Amazonas. Para coleta dos dados foi utilizado um formulário eletrônico compartilhado por aplicativo de mensagem. Os dados foram analisados por método gráfico e de regressão linear simples e múltipla. As componentes da avaliação da ambiência com piores desempenhos foram o compartilhamento do ambiente de estudo e dos equipamentos, o nível de ruído, a interrupção do sinal de internet e o trabalho simultâneo. O rendimento escolar foi considerado satisfatório na avaliação dos estudantes entrevistados, exceto no quesito interatividade. Resultados indicam que a qualidade ambiência interfere positivamente no aproveitamento, porém essa relação é influenciada pelo nível do curso e pelo gênero, vez que essa relação foi significativa somente para o nível de graduação e para estudantes do gênero masculino. Os desafios provocados pela transição educacional abrupta têm implicações negativas no desempenho e motivação dos estudantes. Palavras-chave: Ensino. Ambiência. Aproveitamento dos Estudantes. Abstract As a result of the global health crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, the systems of the various levels of education had to adapt quickly and in a precarious way, replacing the face-to-face modality with the remote one, through digital tools. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the quality of the environment experienced by students in conditions of domestic isolation and their academic performance in remote education, measured by self-assessment. Undergraduate and graduate students were taken as research subjects, in a convenience sample of 62 individuals over 18 years of age, of both genders, in the city of Manaus, Amazonas. For data collection, an electronic form shared by a message application was used. Data were analyzed by graphical method and simple and multiple linear regression. The ambience evaluation components with the worst performances were the sharing of the study environment and equipment, the noise level, the internet signal interruption and the simultaneous work. School performance was considered satisfactory in the evaluation of the interviewed students, except for the item interactivity. Results indicate that ambience quality positively affects achievement, but this relationship is influenced by the level of the course and by gender, since this relationship was significant only for the undergraduate level and for male students. The challenges brought about by the abrupt educational transition have negative implications for the students’ performance and motivation. Keywords: Teaching. Ambience. Students' Performance.

This paper presents on how social communication asserts its influence on social life during Corona Virus Disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic. Basically, communication is an important media where people build their relationship. The advance of technological information and communication has improved ways to communicate with the availability of media as an alternative of face-to-face communication. For this reason, this paper discusses approaches to social communication during the pandemic. The focus is on how communication changes since the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic. Such phenomenon has prompted distances among society which is known as social distancing. It is not to ban the moves of society, yet to prevent the spread of the virus by implementing the distance. Besides, it is significant to minimize social interaction due to a serious threat of Covid-19. In the case of Indonesia, country lockdown is not chosen to be implemented; yet, physical and social distancing is chosen as an effort to the pandemic prevention. Furthermore, strict health protocols in social interaction have been practiced and maintained during current new life era. Because social distancing is practiced widely, engaging in communicative activities using media has played important roles for society. As a result, technology plays a significant change in social communication that occurs in the way they communicate, how they think, and how they behave as social beings.

We introduce a novel paradigm for studying the cognitive processes used by listeners within interactive settings. This paradigm places the talker and the listener in the same physical space, creating opportunities for investigations of attention and comprehension processes taking place during interactive discourse situations. An experiment was conducted to compare results from previous research using videotaped stimuli to those obtained within the live face-to-face task paradigm. A headworn apparatus is used to briefly display LEDs on the talker’s face in four locations as the talker communicates with the participant. In addition to the primary task of comprehending speeches, participants make a secondary task light detection response. In the present experiment, the talker gave non-emotionally-expressive speeches that were used in past research with videotaped stimuli. Signal detection analysis was employed to determine which areas of the face received the greatest focus of attention. Results replicate previous findings using videotaped methods.

Ekumenizmą neturėtume suprasti kaip paviršutiniškos įvairių konfesijų krikščionių vienybės siekį. Ekumeninis dialogas akina pagilinti savąjį tikėjimą. Kiekvienas jo dalyvis yra Šventosios Dvasios kviečiamas kuo rimčiausiai patikrinti sąžinę ir išdrįsti pripažinti bet kokį nesąžiningumą dieviškosios tiesos atžvilgiu.Toleruodamas įvairius teologinio mąstymo būdus, skirtingus krikščioniškosios praktikos aspektus bei įvairias kulto formas, ekumenizmas akina priimti Dievo tiesos ir gėrio pilnatvę į savo širdis ir gyvenimą. Vienas iš svarbiausių ekumeninio judėjimo tikslų yra atvesti žmogų į akistatą su Kristaus Evangelija ir su objektyvia dieviškąja tiesa. Pastangos dieviškąją tiesą paversti subjektyvia kiekvieno asmens tiesa reiškia ir žmogiškosios asmenybės objektyvios harmonijos neigimą.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: Bažnyčia, tiesa, ekumenizmas, pasauliečių kunigystė.Ecumenical Search for Truth and the Identity of the Christian ChurchRomualdas Dulskis SummaryEcumenism should not be understood as an aspiration for merely external and superficial unity. Ecumenical dialogue is a dialogue of conversion. This dialogue is being executed in the face of God, and so each participant is invited to seriously check his/her conscience, make bold to acknowledge his/her wrongness, confess his/her faults and take the road of truth, justice and good. Ecumenical efforts are understood not as a man-thought of scope but as a work inspired by the Holy Spirit and God’s grace for the modern Church and the world.Ecumenism is tolerant to diverse theological thinking, different aspects of Christian practice and various forms of religious cults, but at the same time ecumenism urges people to accept the plenitude of God’s truth and goodness into their hearts and life. One of the main goals of the ecumenical movement is to bring a human being into face-to-face with the Gospel and the objective divine truth. Ecumenism encourages us to plead guilty not only to our sins but also to any dishonesty regarding the divine truth and our reticence to the divine truth by taking inspiration from the Holy Spirit.Aspirations to convert the divine truth into the subjective in every person’s truth are also a denial of objective harmonic development of a human being. Thus, the subjective truth leads one to subjectively perceive good that can often be destructive or evil and so destroying both personal harmony and the harmony of social life. That is why for today’s Christians and all people of good-will there no other way but to expand their hearts and find themselves as creatures that can be satisfied only by recognition of the divine truth and divine goodness, as well as their implementation in all dimensions of the daily rounds of living.Keywords: Church, truth, ecumenism, priesthood of the laity.
