To this purpose it is necessary that the messages of mass media be plural, presenting multiple points of view and a sort of sources. The State must ensure that the citizens get access to multiple points of view and information, as well as the ideas of the main social actors be represented in the communicative environment - comprised by the media in which is the ensemble of communication of certain circle, as an analogy to natural environment . In practice, not every social group has the same access to the mass media. There is a distortion in the so-called free market ideas which is under the thumb of few senders, the major broadcast companies. This can be noted mainly in the scope of concessions of radio and television broadcast, which requires political support, in addition to technological structure, human, and financial resources, whose resources only the major broadcast groups have access to. The regulation of mass media, according to the Brazilian Constitution, must to pursue the democratization of mass media, the pluralism of its actors and to fight monopolies and oligopolies of communication. The Federal Constitution of 1988 envisaged, in the article 224, the creation of Social Communication Council (National), created by Law nº 8.389/91. Such rules aim to establish participation of civil society, in the context of making political decision regarding Social Communication likewise other constitutionally predicted councils, such as Health Council (article 77, Paragraph 3, of Federal Constitution), or the Advisory Board of the Fighting and Eradication Poverty Fund (article 79, sole paragraph of Federal Constitution and Supplementary Law 111 from 2001). This organism has a plural composition. It s composed by representatives of the main different media, technical members, and civil society representatives. Its constitutional function is to assist the National Congress in regulation of Communication. The Communication Social Council would be the mechanism to improve the pluralism of Social Communication in order to minimize the distortions caused by Communications Oligopoly and Monopoly. However, this Council faces juridical and practical issues. The Council was inoperative since the beginning of 2007, its activation happened just on August 2012. Moreover, it s limited to provide opinions that have no effect on decision made in the Social Communication scope. The opinions are considered as mere recommendation; most of the time it is not take in account by political organs. It is necessary to question the legal purposes of Legislative and Executive decisions taken with no consideration of Council position, in other hand the Council will never meet its Constitution role. This dissertation addresses these regulation issues of Social Communication by analyzing the legal power of decisions made by Social Communication Council. / A democracia exige isonomia de participação na formação das decisões coletivas. Para tanto é necessário que as mensagens na comunicação sejam plurais, refletindo diversos pontos de vista e diversos emissores. Deve-se garantir tanto que os cidadãos tenham acesso à diversidade de opiniões e informações, quanto que as ideias dos principais grupos estejam representadas no ambiente comunicativo - entendido como o conjunto da comunicação em determinado âmbito, numa analogia ao meio ambiente . Na prática nem todos os grupos têm o mesmo acesso aos meios de Comunicação Social, existindo uma distorção no chamado livre mercado das ideias que é dominado por poucos emissores, as grandes empresas de comunicação. Isso se vê principalmente no âmbito das concessões de rádio e televisão, que exige apoio político além de estrutura tecnológica, humana e financeira a que só os grandes grupos de comunicação têm acesso. A regulamentação da Comunicação Social, por força da Constituição de 1988, deve buscar a democratização dos meios de comunicação social, o pluralismo dos agentes e combater os monopólios e oligopólios comunicativos. A Constituição de 1988 previu, no artigo 224, a criação do Conselho de Comunicação Social (Nacional), órgão regulamentado pela Lei nº 8.389/91. Tais normas visam estabelecer a participação da sociedade civil, na tomada de decisões políticas no âmbito da Comunicação Social a exemplo de outros conselhos constitucionalmente previstos, como os Conselhos de Saúde (artigo 77, § 3º da CF), ou o Conselho Consultivo e de Acompanhamento do Fundo de Combate e Erradicação da Pobreza (artigo 79, parágrafo único da CF e Lei Complementar 111 de 2001). Esse órgão tem uma constituição plural. É composto de representantes dos principais meios de comunicação, além de representantes técnicos e da sociedade civil. Sua função constitucional é auxiliar o Congresso Nacional na normatização da Comunicação Social. O Conselho de Comunicação Social seria um mecanismo para aprimorar o pluralismo da comunicação social de forma a amenizar as distorções causadas pelos monopólios e oligopólios comunicativos. No entanto, enfrenta problemas de ordem prática e jurídica. O Conselho encontrava-se desativado desde o início de 2007 e só foi reativado em agosto de 2012. Ademais, é limitado a dar pareceres que não têm qualquer efeito sobre as decisões tomadas no âmbito da Comunicação Social. Os pareceres são vistos como meras recomendações por vezes nem levados em conta pelas instâncias de decisão política. É necessário questionar a validade jurídica das decisões legislativas e executivas tomadas sem consideração da posição do Conselho, caso contrário o Conselho nunca chegará a cumprir sua função Constitucional. O trabalho aborda essas questões de regulamentação da Comunicação Social analisando a força jurídica das decisões do Conselho de Comunicação Social.

Vocal communication is important for the bats for navigation and food attainment, nevertheless represents a key aspect for social interactions. Several studies have demonstrated characteristics of echolocation vocalizations and other types of audio signals. However, few studies have been described with respect to of distress calls. Among these studies have described the vocalizations of distress calls as being of animals in situations of extreme danger, such as when the animal is caught by a predator or even when it is contained by a researcher. Some authors have offered hypotheses to explain a general convergence in the structure of vocalizations produced by birds and mammals in similar behavioral contexts. However, there are few studies have been done on the distress calls in bats. The present general study's objective is to produce and analyze a database for bioacoustics in the context distress vocalizations emitted by bats, analyze and describe the acoustic properties of distress vocalizations in bats of the subfamily Stenodermatinae. Data collection investigations have been carried out in five different locations within the southeast region of Brazil. For this study, were recorded vocalizations of bats in subfamily Stenodermatinae: Artibeus cinereus, Artibeus fimbriatus, A. planirostris, A. obscurus, A. lituratus, Platyrrhinus lineatus, P. recifinus and Vampyressa pusilla. The vocalizations were analyzed using the analysis system Raven v1.3. For analysis, we selected 30 calls of each individual. The following parameters were measured: Types of signs, bands tonal, duration of the signal, and interval of Pre-pulse, interval of post-pulse, minimum frequency, maximum frequency, initial frequency, maximum frequency and peak frequency. For a description of the acoustic parameters were averaged, standard deviation and coefficient of variation values of each of the measured parameters of vocalizations for each species. Through the analysis, we identify two basic types of notes for this noise present in the calls of distress among the species. The results presented here showed that the acoustic parameters corroborate other work in this same context, ie: distress vocalizations of the bat species studied may be the motivation of aggression, as the code calling the motivational structure, characterized in general for they present low frequency, in wide bands and loaded of noises. / As pesquisas com bioac?stica t?m colaborado na compreens?o de processos filogen?ticos, ontogen?ticos, ecol?gicos e comportamentais. Para os morcegos, a comunica??o vocal ? importante para navega??o e obten??o de alimentos, al?m de ser um aspecto chave nas intera??es sociais. V?rios estudos t?m demonstrado caracter?sticas de vocaliza??es de ecolocaliza??o e outros tipos de sinais aud?veis. Por?m, poucos estudos t?m sido descritos com rela??o ?s chamadas de distress. Dentre esses estudos t?m-se descrito as vocaliza??es de distress como sendo chamadas de animais em situa??es de extremo perigo, tais como quando esse animal ? capturado por um predador ou mesmo quando ? contido por um pesquisador. Alguns autores t?m apresentado hip?teses para explicar uma converg?ncia geral na estrutura das vocaliza??es produzidas por p?ssaros e mam?feros em contextos comportamentais similares. H?, entretanto, poucos estudos sendo desenvolvidos sobre as chamadas de distress em morcegos. O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral ? elabora??o e an?lise de um banco de dados bioac?sticos para vocaliza??es no contexto distress, emitidas por morcegos filostom?deos, analisar e descrever as propriedades ac?sticas das vocaliza??es de distress em morcegos da subfam?lia Stenodermatinae. As coletas dos dados bioac?sticos foram realizadas em cinco locais diferentes dentro da regi?o sudeste do Brasil. Para o presente estudo, foram gravadas vocaliza??es de morcegos da Subfam?lia Stenodermatinae: Artibeus cinereus, Artibeus fimbriatus, A. planirostris, A. obscurus, A. lituratus, Platyrrhinus lineatus, P. recifinus e Vampyressa pusilla. As vocaliza??es foram analisadas utilizando o sistema de an?lise Raven v1.3. Para an?lise, foram selecionadas 30 chamadas de cada indiv?duo. Os seguintes par?metros foram mensurados: Tipos de Sinais, bandas tonais, dura??o do sinal, Intervalo do Pr?-pulso, Intervalo do P?s-pulso, freq??ncia m?nima, freq??ncia m?xima, freq??ncia inicial, freq??ncia m?xima e freq??ncia pico. Para a descri??o dos par?metros ac?sticos foram calculados a m?dia, o desvio padr?o e o coeficiente de varia??o dos valores obtidos de cada um dos par?metros medidos das vocaliza??es para cada esp?cie. Atrav?s das an?lises, pudemos identificar dois tipos b?sicos de notas para esta emiss?o sonora presente nas chamadas de distress dentre as esp?cies estudadas. Os resultados aqui apresentados mostraram que os par?metros ac?sticos corroboram com outros trabalhos neste mesmo contexto, ou seja: as vocaliza??es de distress das esp?cies de morcegos estudadas podem representar a motiva??o de agressividade, conforme o c?digo de estrutura motivacional da vocaliza??o, caracterizadas em geral por apresentarem baixa frequ?ncia, em bandas larga e carregada de ru?dos.

The research involved 20 teachers, 80% of whom work at the aforementioned institution under class/hour contracts and 65% also perform on the market, away from the academic environment. In this scenario, we have set as our general objective, to investigate what kinds of knowledge might help, and what kinds of difficulties might hinder interdisciplinarity between research subjects in the Social Communication field, assuming that this area would be interdisciplinary by definition. The current study entails bibliographical and document research, of exploratory aspect, under the theoretical framework of Fazenda, Veiga, Franco and Morin, in which synthesis, integration and theme correlation can be elements for understanding and categorizing the training process and interdisciplinary multidimension. On the history of teaching Social Communication in Brazil, this study is based on Melo, Barbosa and Moura, besides approaching aspects on the DCNs, which are currently under a process of change. Field work has been based on Qualitative Research, with data collection through open-question questionnaire, applied within the academic environment, relying on Content Analysis approach for the end of understanding subjects discourse, and following theoretical support of Minayo, Bardon, Chizzotti, Oliveira, Franco, Ghedin and Deslandes. Findings in this study have shown the need to discuss and to structure interdisciplinary practices organization-wise. Support from the Higher Education Institution coordinators is crucial when it comes to promote planning and implementation of interdisciplinary practices on the teaching routine and also to boost teachers interdisciplinary attitude. Collective interdisciplinary attitude, mediated and supported by the organizational structure within the Institution, paves the way to improve integration between fields of study and the sprayed knowledge throughout the course itself, and towards the ultimate goal of teaching, which is to produce students knowledge. In this research we have considered that the teaching work on the interdisciplinary sense within the Social Communication field can help not only to widen perspectives but also to build new processes and to the continuous professional development for teachers which, on the integration of knowledge, also enhance their abilities as learning facilitators. From the institutional standpoint, it can also be considered that interdisciplinarity might help the Institution to keep its quality of a natural and official locus of learning and research, in order to envisage its interest to train teachers and students to strengthen educational and social relations. / Este trabalho tem por objeto de estudo a prática interdisciplinar entre professores da área de Comunicação Social, de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior privada da região da Baixada Santista, estado de São Paulo, Brasil. O estudo envolve 20 professores: 80% deles trabalham na IES no regime horista e 65% também atuam fora da dela, no mesmo campo. Neste cenário estabeleceu-se, como objetivo geral, investigar quais conhecimentos colaboram e que dificuldades tensionam a interdisciplinaridade entre os sujeitos de pesquisa no ensino da Comunicação Social, pressupondo-se que esta seria uma área naturalmente interdisciplinar. Este estudo constitui-se de pesquisa bibliográfica/ documental de caráter exploratório, sobre pressupostos teóricos fundamentados nos autores Fazenda, Veiga, Franco e Morin, nos quais síntese, integração e correlação temática desvelam-se como elementos para a compreensão e categorização do processo formativo e multidimensional interdisciplinar. Sobre a trajetória do ensino de Comunicação Social no Brasil e sua natureza, este estudo apoia-se em Melo, Barbosa e Moura, além de verificar alguns aspectos presentes nas DCNs de Comunicação Social, atualmente em fase de transição. O trabalho de campo baseia-se em pesquisa qualitativa, com a coleta de dados via questionário aberto, realizada no próprio locus acadêmico. Fundamenta-se na Análise de Conteúdo para interpretação dos discursos dos sujeitos, de acordo com o aporte teórico de Minayo, Bardin, Chizzotti, Oliveira, Gomes, Franco, Ghedin e Deslandes. Os principais achados deste trabalho evidenciam a necessidade de se discutir e estruturar, organizacionalmente, a prática interdisciplinar. O apoio organizacional da IES é importante no sentido de estimular o planejamento e a incorporação de práticas interdisciplinares no fazer docente e alavancar a atitude interdisciplinar do professor. Essa atitude, coletivizada, mediada e apoiada pela estrutura organizacional da instituição, abre espaço para melhor integração entre as disciplinas e os saberes esparsos nos cursos, em direção à finalidade essencial do ensino - produzir o conhecimento no aluno. Considera-se, nesta pesquisa, que o trabalho docente com sentido interdisciplinar na área de Comunicação Social pode colaborar tanto para o alargamento dos horizontes disciplinares quanto para o processo de construção e aperfeiçoamento profissional contínuo dos professores que, na integração dos saberes, também amplificam sua capacidade de agentes mediadores da aprendizagem. Do ponto de vista institucional, considera-se também que a interdisciplinaridade pode colaborar com a IES no sentido de sua manutenção como locus natural e oficial de ensino e pesquisa, ao perspectivar o interesse formativo de professores e alunos em favor do aperfeiçoamento das relações educacionais e sociais.

Many school-age children with language impairment (LI) have difficulties with aspects of social and emotional learning. This study was structured to evaluate one aspect of the effectiveness of a social communication intervention, the appropriate production of emotion words. Four school-aged children with LI participated in 20 sessions of story-based intervention targeting understanding and usage of emotion-based words. Emotions targeted included the emotion word categories of happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust. Because the knowledge of the emotion word categories varied from child to child, each child had different target words. The percentage of correct production of targeted emotion word categories was tracked, recorded and presented in figure format. The percentage of correct productions provided an estimation of the participants' usage and understanding of emotion-based words from session to session. Percentage of nonoverlapping data (PND) for each participant (subdivided by emotion) was calculated where appropriate as one measure of the effectiveness of the intervention. Although somewhat variable, the data showed that the children did make progress in their use of some of the emotion word categories that they did not understand at baseline. The results of the study present some promising preliminary findings.

This thesis examines the efficacy of a social communication intervention in increasing the emotion word productions in school-aged children with language impairment (LI). The study had a multiple baseline single subject design in which 5 children between the ages of 6 and 11 received 20 intervention sessions, each lasting 20 minutes. Intervention activities included reading and discussing children's books, enacting the stories using toys, and journal writing to reflect on experiences in each session. Emotion word productions during intervention sessions were coded for total productions within the categories of happiness, anger, sadness, fear, surprise, and disgust. Productions were also coded for type (spontaneous, in response to a question, cued, or imitated) and valence agreement. The percentage of non-overlapping data (PND) was calculated (measuring the overall percentage of sessions in which the participants produced more emotion words than they did in the baseline session with the most emotion word productions) in order to show efficacy of the intervention for each participant. According to PND calculations, the intervention was generally effective for 3 of the 5 children and was effective in at least one emotion category for each participant. Participants demonstrated no difficulties with valence agreement. Data regarding types of production indicated that the majority of emotion word productions during the intervention were elicited in some way rather than spontaneous. These results suggest that children with LI increased the number of emotion word productions during the intervention, but were still dependent upon the scaffolding provided by the intervention.

Numerous studies have shown that children identified with Language Impairment (LI) have marked difficulty with producing story narratives compared to their typically developing peers. One particular area of weakness seen in the narratives of children with LI is their ability to incorporate internal states, specifically internal response, internal plan, and emotion words. The current study examines five children with LI and their descriptions of mental and emotional states of characters in story narratives under spontaneous and prompted conditions. Participants produced story retells based on a series of wordless picture books taken from the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument. Story retells were elicited twice for each story, once with and once without verbal prompts. As expected, children produced more internal state story elements in response to prompts. As children produced more of these elements, however, their accuracy decreased, and the states they reported did not always reflect the story content. The children with LI showed limited understanding and ability to interpret the reactions, motivations, and emotions that characters experienced. However, verbal prompts did reveal children's current abilities and understanding of internal states.

Excerpt: In the latter half of 2012 the communication discipline lost two pioneering scholrs when H.L. "Bud" Goodhall, Jr., and Nick Trujillo died within months of each other.

Narrative production and comprehension is a difficult task for children with language impairment (LI). Their stories are typically shorter and contain more grammatical errors than the stories of typically developing age-matched peers. This pilot study describes the abilities of six children with LI to produce stories from pictured stimuli. Stories were elicited from each child during a 10-week period. Stimulus pictures and coding procedures from the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument were employed to analyze the participants' story grammar (SG). Eight SG elements were assessed including character introduction, setting, initiating event (IE), internal response (IR), internal plan (IP), attempt, and outcome. The children varied highly in their production of SG elements. The SG elements that described the internal states, emotions, and motivations of the characters were the most difficult for all participants.

Many children identified with Language Impairment (LI) demonstrate difficulty comprehending and producing narratives. Their narratives are often structurally less complex and of overall poorer quality than those produced by their typically developing peers. These difficulties may negatively impact the academic and social success of children with LI. This thesis evaluates the performance of five school-aged children with LI on a story retell probe embedded within an intervention designed to address their social and emotional language abilities. During the 10-week intervention, participants completed a series of story retell probes using wordless picture books. The story stimuli were taken from the Edmonton Narrative Norms Instrument, which included six stories (divided into two story sets), elicited twice (12 total story retells). The production of story grammar (SG) categories was analyzed for each story retell. The results for each participant and SG category varied greatly, but all participants had difficulty producing the more complex SG elements. Although each participant demonstrated some improvement from the first retell to the second on at least one story, overall performance remained fairly stable over the 10-week period. Future research is needed to determine effective ways to support more complex story narratives in children with LI.

<p>The purpose of this paper is to see how politicians use Internet communication in their daily work and how they use it to interact with citizens of Vasteras city. To reach my conclusions I used both theoretical methods such as literature studies and qualitative interviews with the towns 11 trustees. Accoarding to this study the politicians saw not only a lot of potentials and advantages in Internet communication but also many difficulties and obstacles. In this case the cons far exceeded the pros. One of the main reason is the bad experiences which caused by rasist attacks/threats made to politicians and also the difficulties in handling of sensitiv documents which was seen as a stress factor. Vasteras home page is more seen as a very inert two way communication channel, due to the lack of discussion/debate forum. Other forms of communication via other media is prefered. Obviously IT is a fast and complementary media but face to face communication is prioritized rather than computer communication. E- democracy, E- meeting, E- discussion can not replace face to face communication. There is a strong belief among the municipal executive committee in the representative democracy as the best functional political system. The political climate characterizes as a sort of conservatism or pessimism when it concerns IT and democracy. Despite all of this, there are many optimistic attitudes about IT in a future perspective. Marketing and education are essential elements that benefit to more dialog and interactivity which can influence the quality of democracy. The Internet is perceived by many of respondants as an excellent horizontal communication than vertical.</p>
