One way for phatic communication to be linguistically realized involves ritual activities, such as greetings and leave-takings. These conventionalized acts in medical contexts can significantly influence both transactional and interpersonal goals. The analysis in this paper confirms that exchanging rituals such as greeting and leave-taking between doctors and patients is not a simple exchange of conventionalized linguistic symbols. In addition, the use of discursive strategies means that to determine whether an expression is phatic or not, it is necessary to analyze it from the multidimensional perspective. The phaticity is established based on the negotiation between the participants during the interaction. We have found that the interrogative form of greeting like "¿Qué tal?" (How are you?) becomes a versatile resource in the medical context. Thus, professionals need to be attentive to the discourse progress, because the phaticity of the interrogative greetings (illocutionary force) is linked, in the vast majority, with the reaction of the patients. Also, the data confirms that when participants coordinate closings, the exchange of turns lengthens and the intervention of various discursive strategies for phatic communion becomes more prominent.

How to conceive fraternity in difference? I will hold two premises to answer this question. First: fraternity is an ineradicable element of the Political. Second: the recognition of fraternity in difference is a precondition for the consolidation of fraternal relations in Latin America in the context of coloniality. On the same path, I will show that fraternity must be thought of as difference in order to face the logic of neoliberal life imposed by capitalism in globalization. The articulation of both premises in the political praxis would contribute to the preservation of our life in common; in conditions of dignified existence. The fraters of precariousness and vulnerability are the ones who can re-establish being-with- and being-together.

Many global business failures have been ascribed to a lack of intercultural competence, especially to a lack of an adequate conceptualization and definition of intercultural competence, focusing instead on the knowledge, skills, and attributes that appear to be its antecedents. Intercultural competence should be perceived as multifaceted important components of global management capabilities. Depending on the related concepts of intercultural competence, such as global mindset, intercultural sensitivity, and cultural intelligence, dynamic aspects of intercultural competence as learning process are suggested. Also, the domain of intercultural competence in the context of global management or business comprised three dimensions - perception management, relationship management, and self management. Each dimension is characterized by facets that further delineate aspects of intercultural competence. With respect to the domain of intercultural competence, appropriateintercultural training methods should be designed. In practice, human resource managers may benefit from gaining knowledge about which measures to use for identifying employee's weakness in intercultural competence in order to create appropriate training programs.

As the amount of information is rapidly growing, and the ubiquitous urban environments are emerging, the question which information type to provide and which communication media to support is a major challenge for commercial and public travel-information service providers. The current research reports the first findings of analyses of recent data, collected in metropolitan Seoul, about the acquisition of travel information and the communication media used. The study is based on the assumption that information acquisition and choice of communication medium is strongly context-driven. The study applies CHAID analysis to find homogeneous segments in information acquisition and use of communication media. Findings indicate that transport mode and activity are important determinant of information acquisition and choice of media. The type of travel information acquired co-varies strongly with transport mode and activity. In addition, we found evidence of time of day effects. Similarly, the choice of communication medium depends on the type of travel information searched for, transport mode and activity. The results suggest important implications of managerial and policy measures, in particular the dynamic, contextual market segmentation.

자율성 및 이동성 갖는 네트워크 구조의 하나인 MANET(Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks)은 각 node들은 그 특성에 따라서 clustering service을 한다. node의 전송과정 중 path access에 대하여 중요성 또한 강조되고 있다. 일반적인 무선 네트워크 상에서의 node들은 clustering을 하게 되는데 그 과정에서 발생되는 여러 가지 문제점을 가지고 전송이 이루어진다. 모든 node들이 송, 수신상의 전송 범위(Beam forming area)가지고 있으며, 이러한 각 node들의 전송범위 내에 전송이 이루어지는 전통적인 전송기술 mechanism을 찾는다. 이러한 전송상황에서의 송신하는 node와 수신된 node간에 발생되고 있는 중복성의 문제점으로 즉, 상호적용에 의한 네트워크 duplicate(overlapping)이 크게 우려가 되고 있다. 이러한 전송상의 전송 범위 중첩, node간의 packet 간섭현상, packet의 중복수신 및 broadcasting의 storming현상이 나타난다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 상황정보의 속성을 이용한 계층적 상호 head node들의 접근된 위치와 연계되는 전송속도, 보존하고 있는 head node들의 에너지 source value, doppler효과를 통한 head node의 이동방향 등 분석한다. 분석된 방법으로 전송상의 계층적 path가 구성된 경험적 path 속성을 통한 네트워크 connectivity 신뢰성을 극대화 할 뿐만 아니라 네트워크의 전송 범위 duplicate을 사전에 줄일 수 있고 전송망의 최적화를 유지할 수 있는 기법의 하나인 상황정보를 이용한 ad hoc network의 ODDMRP(Ontology Doppler effect-based Dynamic Multicast Routing Protocol) clustering 기법을 제안한다.

The Dublin Core, MARC. IFLA-FRBR user communities are developing international standards for describing textual, physical and audiovisual resources to enable their resources discovery over the Internet. Therefore the metadata interoperability Problem has been exacerbated by the need for more complex metadata descriptions. In this paper we propose a new mechanism for metadata interoperability based on the new semantic web applications : IFLA-FRBR framework, INDECS metadata and an event-aware ABC models. This study introduces a new approach method which is essential to the generation of interoperable metadata descriptions, particularly in the context of multimedia contents.

Purpose The study analyzed the factors affecting continuance use and self-disclosure in the SNS(social networking service) context based on a dual-factor model. As SNS users have concerned privacy for a long time, privacy concern affects continuous use and self-disclosure. In details, concern over privacy may have a stronger effect on self-disclosure than on continuance use as users' personal information can be more exposed during posting their dailies and photos. Design/Methodology/Approach SNS benefits, trust in SNS providers, and social influence are served as the key enablers and privacy concern as the inhibitor. Moreover, the relative impacts of SNS benefits and privacy concern on continuance use and self-disclosure were analysed in this study. From the data of 327 Facebook users, the researchers tested proposed theoretical model by using PLS. Findings Users' continuance intention and self-disclosure behavior are differently affected by different antecedents. Trust in SNS provider had a significant effect on self-disclosure intention, while it has no significant effect on continuance intention. Concern over privacy was negatively related to self-disclosure intention, while it was positively associated with continuance intention.

In the Mexican territory the cultural diversity is associated with the environmental diversity, this is demonstrated by the presence of native groups that inhabit the regions of the country, which are characterized by the management of various natural resources that they obtain from the terrestrial and aquatic environments of each of the regions. Through the RECREA Model: complex thinking, information and communication technologies and research-action, complemented with fundamentals of geography, environmental geography, cultural ecology, field work and cartographic information, we explained and analyzed the association between environmental diversity and cultural diversity to demonstrate that in Mexico there are still links between the environment, society and culture, a situation that determines the existence of human groups that subsist in the context of a global capitalist system that extracts in an unsustainable way natural resources. Based on these results, an instructional model is made to put it to practice with international students, in this case from Japan and South Korea, to allow the observation of its functionality in transmitting the aforementioned results on environmental and cultural diversity in Mexico during the teaching-learning process.

Purpose: This study intended to examine the effects of the characteristics of platforms for purchasing airline tickets on perceived ease of use, usefulness, and e-loyalty, applying the technology acceptance model. Research design, data and methodology: A research model was established based on previous studies, and data were collected from consumers with experience in the airline ticket purchasing platform. 175 valid samples were used and analyzed using SEM. Results: Characteristics of the ticket purchase platform were classified into sub-factors of accessibility, functionality and information reliability through theoretical consideration. The established hypotheses for the research were partially accepted. Conclusions: First, functionality and information reliability were found to have significant positive effects on perceived ease of use, while accessibility did not have such effect. Second, accessibility did not affect the perceived usefulness, and both functionality and information reliability had a significant positive effect on perceived usefulness. Third, it was found that the perceived ease of use had a positive effect on perceived usefulness. Finally, it was found that perceived ease of use did not affect e-loyalty of the ticket purchasing platform, only perceived usefulness affected e-loyalty. This study had important academic and practical implications in the context of air ticket distribution.
