Stating that 'good' communication plays a crucial role in everybody's personal and professional life would be to state the obvious. However, this well-established concept constantly seems to call for a reflection upon basic questions, such as: how can we define 'good' communication? What are the criteria that can be applied  in order to identify it and to discern it, if possible, from 'bad' communication? Is it possible to achieve it? How? Between whom? In which circumstances? What are its consequences?

The Impact

Stress is the pressure that is experienced by humans. The impact of stress depends upon the type of stress the individual is experiencing. A positive stress may lead to the individual to feel motivated while a negative stress may impact the individual’s professional life or relationships. In this work, the approach of detecting the level of individual stress through EEG signal is presented. The EEG signal consists of set of components like Alpha, Beta and Gamma, out of which the dominating component plays a crucial role in determining the stress level. Results shows that 93.33%, 83.33% and 90% of classification accuracy, 87.5%, 80% and 85.71% of sensitivity and 95.45%, 86.66% and 91.30% of specificity for low, medium and high stress respectively is obtained. This work can be used to analyze the region of brain that is contributing more towards the individual’s stress.

Group A

Human will always communicate throughout their lives and one of the examples is in the work environment. In a work group, a good communication between the employees is essential to finish the work optimally. It could be difficult to achieve the desired output when the communication is between employees with hearing loss and employees without hearing loss. The goal of this research is to determine the imitation behavior that conducted by employees without hearing loss toward employees with hearing loss in KamiBijak media, and also the difficulties they experienced while imitating. This research is done because there are no other researches about this topic before. Theories used in this research are group communication theory, nonverbal communication, and imitation. A qualitative approach and case study method are also used for this research. The data of this research are obtained from passive observation and interviews with five informants. The result shows that the imitation done by employees without hearing loss is copying behavior because of interest and matched-dependent behavior because of motivation. Forms of nonverbal communication that imitated by employees without hearing loss in terms of kinesics are sign gestures, facial expression, eye contact, and physical contact such as touching. Other than that, there are also vocal examples such as lips movement adjusting their speech speed, and proxemics in form of personal space in communication. The difficulties that employees without hearing loss are experiencing is that the sign language that is done by the employees with hearing loss are too fast and using only one hand.Manusia dalam melaksanakan kehidupannya tidak dapat terlepas dari komunikasi, salah satunya dalam hal bekerja. Dalam suatu kelompok kerja, dibutuhkan komunikasi yang baik antara pekerja agar dapat menyelesaikan pekerjaan bersama dengan maksimal. Hal ini menjadi sulit jika komunikasi yang dilakukan melibatkan pekerja tuli dan pekerja non tuli. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui perilaku imitasi yang dilakukan pekerja non tuli pada pekerja tuli dalam kelompok kerja di media KamiBijak serta hambatan yang dialami dalam melakukan imitasi. Penelitian ini dilakukan karena belum pernah ada yang meneliti. Teori yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah teori komunikasi kelompok, komunikasi nonverbal, dan imitasi. Penulis menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dan metode studi kasus. Data hasil penelitian diperoleh melalui observasi pasif dan wawancara mendalam dengan lima informan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa bentuk imitasi yang dilakukan pekerja non tuli adalah copying behavior karena ketertarikan dan matched-dependent behavior karena adanya motivasi. Bentuk komunikasi nonverbal yang diimitasi oleh pekerja non tuli meliputi kinesik yang terdiri dari gerakan isyarat, ekspresi wajah, kontak mata, serta sentuhan. Lalu, vokalik yaitu menggunakan gerak bibir dengan mengatur kecepatan berbicara, dan proksemik dalam bentuk penggunaan jarak pribadi dalam berkomunikasi. Hambatan yang dialami pekerja non tuli dalam melakukan imitasi adalah gerakan isyarat yang dilakukan pekerja tuli terlalu cepat dan hanya menggunakan satu tangan.

Jean Martin Charcot

In this paper, the author examines two episodes in Freud's early professional life which, she suggests, played a crucial role in the development of psychoanalysis. As a result of these episodes, Freud's warm relationship with Jean-Martin Charcot cooled markedly and his more intimate relationship with Josef Breuer broke down altogether. While Freud never referred to the circumstances surrounding these rifts, the author proposes that both cases had, at their core, issues surrounding scientific theories of the time about innate Jewish tendencies to neuropathic disease and hysteria, theories which played an important role in the development of racial anti-Semitism. She proposes that these theories contributed in important respects to Freud's historic leap from the prevailing theory of heredity as the primary cause of hysteria to one of a sexual aetiology.

Ill Posed

Despite the skill and determination of electro-optical system designers, the images acquired using their best designs often suffer from blur and noise. The aim of an “image enhancer” such as myself is to improve these poor images, usually by digital means, such that they better resemble the true, “optical object,” input to the system. This problem is notoriously “ill-posed,” i.e. any direct approach at inversion of the image data suffers strongly from the presence of even a small amount of noise in the data. In fact, the fluctuations engendered in neighboring output values tend to be strongly negative-correlated, so that the output spatially oscillates up and down, with large amplitude, about the true object. What can be done about this situation? As we shall see, various concepts taken from statistical communication theory have proven to be of real use in attacking this problem. We offer below a brief summary of these concepts.
