Context Culture in CDC's Health Alert: For All Travelers

The high number of covid-19 cases and the US's mortality rate encourage The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to socialize and promote prevention guidance to stop the spreading. One of the preventive measures is by issuing travel warnings. Scholars have noted that the linguistic and cultural concept conveys norms of behavior and values in society at a particular stage of its development. In brief, advertisements messages are influenced by communicators' cultural backgrounds and references. It means the signs in the CDC poster can show American values. To examine and explore those cultural values in CDC publication materials, the authors conducted a semiotic analysis on a poster entitled Health Alert: For All Travelers. The method used is Ferdinand de Saussure's semiotic model. The study shows that the signs presented on the CDC poster are simple, use direct communication structures, and are equipped with universal meaning to understand the message conveyed easily. It indicates a representation of the dominant culture in the United States, the low-context culture with a high level of individualism values. Multidisciplinary research is needed to help create a universal communication model so that messages conveyed in advertisements can reach a wider audience.

Corporate culture and etiquette.

The topic of etiquette is given the main place in diplomacy and in the formation of corporate culture, interpersonal communications. We are talking about verbal and nonverbal ways, etiquette of business communication. This paper presents the research results and experience of practicing scientists, conclusions on diplomacy, corporate culture, the art of effective communication. Despite global changes in the communications system, etiquette remains a key component of the universal communication culture. The authors emphasize the relevance of the topic of the article, focus on a set of knowledge and rules developed historically, and offer the author's vision of compliance with etiquette for the effectiveness of negotiators at all levels. It has been concluded that the realities of today, globalization and other social factors dictate new conditions for the development of diplomacy and new market demands. Etiquette standards in the conditions of society transformation acquire the status of an effective tool in business and political communications. Unstable political and economic situations have a negative impact on building a positive state image, but it is instability that motivates scientists, educators and professionals to act and find effective ways to form an image, in such conditions, cultural diplomacy gains strength and weight in society. These processes contribute to changes in established standards of diplomacy, the evolution of the industry and the system of social communications Own author's research, practical experience, comparison of opinions and conclusions of fellow researchers, authoritative scientists-practitioners, published in scientific works, all this allows to predict possible ways and prospects of influence of the newest forms of communications, transformation of etiquette norms and standards, their influence on state image creation. in real time and in the short term, as external factors significantly affect the methods of working on the image and new etiquette, in particular introduced during quarantine.

A Taxonomy of Identity Safety Cues Based on Gender and Race: From a Promising Past to an Intersectional and Translational Future

Identity safety cues refer to aspects of the environment or social setting that communicate one is valued and the threat of discrimination is limited. In this article, we review the content of identity safety cues, their strengths and limitations, and implications for future theory, research, and practice. A close analysis of the identity safety cue literature can inform the efforts of individuals and organizations who aim to enhance social inclusion and promote diversity. Searching databases for safety cue research (e.g., Google Scholar, PsycINFO), we found more than 35 peer-reviewed articles that explicitly addressed identity safety cues. We synthesized the literature to produce a novel taxonomy of identity safety cues that target stigmatized groups, namely those minoritized by gender and race. A taxonomy of identity safety cues can facilitate clear and universal communication about the science, delineate types of operational definitions, and direct future research and theorizing. Our review revealed that knowledge of cues is often limited by unidimensional identity characteristics (i.e., targeting gender or race, not both), and we discovered four cue categories that induced identity safety: minority representation, diversity philosophies and programming, environmental features, and identity-safe information. The significance of this review is that, beyond establishing the only known taxonomy of identity safety cues, we critically examine the strengths and weaknesses of cue efficacy and provide a forward-thinking discussion of theoretical implications and broader impacts, focusing on the expansion of intersectionality theorizing and the translation of identity safety cue research.

ARCHETYPE AS A UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION UNIT

The communicative process is this reality, where we are interested in the act that shows present present fragmentation of the past,It implies time irreversibility (anisotropic), asymmetry, envisages the future.Individual cognitive system of the subject In other words, the picture of the universe includes universal, cultural and linguistic fragmentation.The universal cognitive system generates an invariant, basic part of the picture of the world,The national component is related to ethnos categories and national self-consciousness,And the linguistic component establishes the linguistic competence of the person - we will see the language laws, its phonetics, phonology, syntactic structure, lexical supplies,Speech mechanism, and finally the cultural component describes phenomenology of historical events, real persons,Therefore, we are talking about cultural - linguistic computation as interpretation of linguistics in the categories of cultural code.As for the archetypes, they are not the faces themselves but the schemes of the species, they are taught to create something special (Floroatski's "human soul" scheme) according to Jung,Archetypes have no material but formal nature, and they gain intellectual load when they reach the cognition of the individual and begin to represent the "experience" of their experience.Archetypes are "formulas" of our speech and their semantic-intrinsic part is the means for individual thinking in the categories of the universe,Which is part of the universal collective cognition.

Those Who Hoped

This chapter explores the relationship between the proliferation of artificial languages and literary cosmopolitanism at the turn of the century: both strove to promote ideas of world citizenship, universal communication, and peaceful international relations. The two most successful artificial languages of this period, Volapük and Esperanto, employed literature, literary translation, and the periodical medium to create a new type of cosmopolitan literacy intended to quench divisive nationalisms and to challenge Herder’s theories on the link between national language and individual identity. Starting with Henry James’s lampooning of Volapük in his short story ‘The Pupil’ (1891), the chapter charts the uneasy relationship between literature and artificial language movements. Ludwik L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, stressed the importance of literary translation for his utopian ideal and used original literature to explore the complex affect of his cosmopolitan identity. The chapter closes with an analysis of the growth of the Esperanto movement in turn-of-the-century Britain, focusing on its overlap with literary, artistic, and radical circles, on contributions by Max Müller, W. T. Stead, and Felix Moscheles, and on the 1907 Cambridge Esperanto World Congress.

Realtime monitoring for groundwater level and local climate based on universal communication system

The groundwater level and weather patterns and climate conditions are several of the very significant factors which influence the quality of livelihood and the other activity of the tropical peatland environment. The current method of groundwater level and meteorological information aggregate build the use of certain expensive weather station devices, prominent to a lack of vast monitoring suitable to cost barriers and disturbance in some countries. In this research, we have developed and implemented a hardware module based on an Arduino microcontroller and mobile communication, which measures the groundwater level and meteorological data, including air temperature, air humidity, and soil temperature, and humidity, rainfall in peatland area. The data groundwater level is received by a specially developed application interface running on an Internet of Things (IoT) connected through a Global Mobile System (GSM) communication. In this work, our proposed system is a model system that can able to generate alerts based on the real-time groundwater level and data weather as potential peat fire in Indonesia. It provides online and data real-time monitoring. In this works, we have resulted in a system to monitor the groundwater level and data weather alert, condition mapping, and warn the people from its disastrous effects.

RETORYKA EKSPRESYWNEJ EGZEMPLIFIKACJI W JĘZYKACH TYPOLOGICZNIE ODLEGŁYCH – NA PRZYKŁADZIE WYBRANYCH WYPOWIEDZI POLSKICH ORAZ JAPOŃSKICH

A confrontative analysis of distant natural languages proves fully useful in terms of cognition when, as a result, formal differences in statement/utterance structures arising from typological dissimilarities, yet disclosing universal communication strategies, can be noticed. This refers also to the colloquial rhetoric, which is illustrated by this attempt at comparing the strategy of expressive exemplifi cation combined with the mechanism of negation in Polish and Japanese. Usages of the Polish negative pronoun żaden (no, none) are compared here based on an extensive corpus of colloquial sentences to the corresponding Japanese exemplifi cation structure based on the use of the form nanka, which, in turn, permits the observation of characteristic shifts in the hierarchy of the exponents of the former and the latter semantic function mentioned here. The synthetic nature of the Polish structure places the negation higher in the hierarchy, thus prevailing over the meaning of the exemplifi cation, while in the Japanese language the analytical separation of both meanings places the exemplifi cation and the negation at an equal level as part of the separately shaped thematic-rhematic segmentation of statements/utterances.

Human Genomics and the Biocultural Origin of Music

Music is an exclusive feature of humankind. It can be considered as a form of universal communication, only partly comparable to the vocalizations of songbirds. Many trends of research in this field try to address music origins, as well as the genetic bases of musicality. On one hand, several hypotheses have been made on the evolution of music and its role, but there is still debate, and comparative studies suggest a gradual evolution of some abilities underlying musicality in primates. On the other hand, genome-wide studies highlight several genes associated with musical aptitude, confirming a genetic basis for different musical skills which humans show. Moreover, some genes associated with musicality are involved also in singing and song learning in songbirds, suggesting a likely evolutionary convergence between humans and songbirds. This comprehensive review aims at presenting the concept of music as a sociocultural manifestation within the current debate about its biocultural origin and evolutionary function, in the context of the most recent discoveries related to the cross-species genetics of musical production and perception.
