Podcasts about comparative research

Professor Daniel C. Hallin, Distinguished Professor of Communication at UC San Diego, shares his thoughts on media systems and how digital media relates to the concept. We discuss the components of a 'system' and current debates around the concept of 'hybridity' in media studies. This leads to a broader discussion of conceptual stretching, media capture, and how single case studies can be made comparative through dialogue with existing scholarship. The recording took place while Prof. Hallin was a Visiting Professor at the Department of Communication and Media at Lund. Here are the two articles we discuss in the episode: Comparative Research, System Change, and the Complexity of Media Systems (2020)The Concept of Hybridity in Journalism Studies (2023)

You know how dentists have those intraoral cameras that let patients see what's going on in their mouth? What if SLPs could use those as part of their dysphagia assessment?  Or as part of their biofeedback during therapy to check for residue and to see if certain compensatory strategies work? Just imagine quickly peeking into a patient's mouth with an angled intraoral camera and finding bread in the valleculae from the patient's last meal (which was two hours ago)! Turns out we can! James Curtis, PhD, CCC-SLP, and Ann Miles, PhD, are two SLPs and researchers who are exploring this idea and spill all the beans with us in this week's episode of The Swallow Your Pride Podcast! Join James and Anna as they discuss the intraoral camera and… The benefits of adding it to our dysphagia assessments Potential applications in therapy and patient education The pioneering work of Jose Vergara's team in Brazil Technical challenges Patient tolerance Current and future research Access to this instrument Tune in and give a shout-out to your local dentist for inspiring this idea!

Hasekura Rokuemon Tsunenaga was a samurai who led a diplomatic delegation to New Spain, Spain and Rome in the 17th century.

It is an excellent yet terrifying short read and will be the main topic of our conversation. You can follow Phil Gorski on Twitter at @GorskiPhilip. 

This episode explores the mythological themes of renewal and rebirth associated with the spring season, tracing their roots from the worship of solar deities, through the emergence of the dying-resurrecting god, to modern day Easter, detailing the rich history and symbolism surrounding them. Drawing from many religions, we will uncover the curious origins,  significance, and hidden meanings behind many traditions which are taken for granted today. Find out why the coming of spring was a deeply spiritual event to our ancestors which inspired great philosophical convictions across cultures.  Please email the show with questions, experiences, or comments: hiddenpassagepodcast@gmail.com

Elisabetta Palagi is an Associate Professor at the University of Pisa, whose research focuses on social and sexual behaviour, and mechanisms underlining empathy such as rapid facial mimicry and emotional contagion. Elisabetta shares a short story of growing up on a farm, of chickens and other animals, her early interest in animal behaviour, and a wise lesson by her grandmother. She shares her start in academia, being a student at the University of Pisa, and completing her PhD in evolutionary biology. After her studies she continued at the University of Pisa, in the role of mammal curator at the museum of natural history, expanding her views on animal behaviour through zoology. She shares her collaboration with the Pistoia Zoo where she studied lemurs. After great apes, wolves, hyenas, sea lions, and others, both in the wild and under human care. Elisabetta discusses aspects of her and collaborative research on animal friendships, focusing on individuals, agonistic support, relationship quality, body contact, and cohesiveness. Elisabetta discusses the importance of comparative research, considering different approaches focussing on social similarities and phylogeny, homologous traits, or evolutionary convergence. She discusses peace and reconciliation in different species, with specific examples on consolation, concern, comforting each other, egoism, and altruism, in different species.Elisabetta also shares a great story on breaking the ice and grooming, using a very Italian custom of ‘aperitivo'. Social play, explanations of immediate and delayed play, rough and tumble play, social tolerance, and adult play, as well as managing xenophobia by playing, and when play is a family business: adult play, hierarchy, and possible stress reduction in common marmosets are covered. …to celebrate the arrival of food, about 20 minutes before food arrival, chimpanzees increase their grooming behaviour, and in bonobos we found a peak in play behaviour…leaving the animals more relaxed before the food arrives, reducing levels of aggression and solving levels of distrust.” Elisabetta discusses her collaborative book “The Missing Lemur Link: an Ancestral Step in Human Evolution” and concludes the podcast with a story of her travel to Madagascar and hearing the singing of an Indri and the deep experience of being in this marvellous environment.

The political debate about the role of business in armed conflicts has increasingly raised expectations as to governance contributions by private corporations in the fields of conflict prevention, peace-keeping and postconflict peace-building. This political agenda seems far ahead of the research agenda, in which the negative image of business in conflicts, seen as fuelling, prolonging and taking commercial advantage of violent conflicts,still prevails. So far the scientific community has been reluctant to extend the scope of research on ‘corporate social responsibility’ to the area of security in general and to intra-state armed conflicts in particular. As a consequence, there is no basis from which systematic knowledge can be generated about the conditions and the extent to which private corporations can fulfil the role expected of them in the political discourse. The research on positive contributions of private corporations to security amounts to unconnected in-depth case studies of specific corporations in specific conflict settings. Given this state of research, we develop a framework for a comparative research agenda to address the question: Under which circumstances and to what extent can private corporations be expected to contribute to public security?
