Campus website in university is the extension of campus culture on the network, which is one of the most direct and effective means to improve university popularity in the information society. From the perspective of communication and information architecture theory, research on the development and construction of campus website in university plays a very important role for promoting the university to the outside and strengthening the internal and external communication. First, we introduce basic theories including mass communication, uses and gratifications and information architecture. Then based on these theories, we conduct basic research on the campus website, find out effective communication ways, comb out website problems in the dissemination process, and as a basis for reference provide ideas and methods for the development of communication strategies of campus websites. Finally, we analyze and summarize interfaces, content and services of campus websites, and propose the design method and implementation technology solutions of campus website construction. The above contents open up a new way for the study of campus website, also broaden this kind of research fields, and they are the important supplements to the website communication studies with certain innovation.


The past decades have seen an explosion of research into the psychological, cognitive, neural, biological, and technical mechanisms of voice perception. These mechanisms refer to the general ability to extract information from voices expressed by other living beings or by technical systems. Voice perception research is now a lively area of research, which is studied from many different perspectives ranging from basic research on the acoustic analysis of vocalizations and the neural and cognitive mechanisms, to comparative research across ages, species, and cultures, up to applied research in the field of machine-based generation and decoding of voices, telecommunication, psychiatry, and neurology. This handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative overview on all the major research fields related to voice perception, in an accessible form, for a broad readership of students, scholars, and researchers. The handbook is divided into seven major parts, each of which deals with a central perspective on voice perception, including what makes the voice special compared to other acoustic signals, the evolutionary and ontogenetic conditions of voice perception, the social cues extracted from voice signals, the machine-based recognition of voices, and the clinical disorders that affect voice perception.

Tissue engineering is a newly emerging biomedical technology and methodology to assist and accelerate the regeneration and repairing of defective and damaged tissues based on the natural healing potentials of patients themselves. For the new therapeutic strategy, it is indispensable to provide cells with a local environment that enhances and regulates their proliferation and differentiation for cell-based tissue regeneration. Biomaterial technology plays an important role in the creation of this cell environment. For example, the biomaterial scaffolds and the drug delivery system (DDS) of biosignalling molecules have been investigated to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of cell potential for tissue regeneration. In addition, the scaffold and DDS technologies contribute to develop the basic research of stem cell biology and medicine as well as obtain a large number of cells with a high quality for cell transplantation therapy. A technology to genetically engineer cells for their functional manipulation is also useful for cell research and therapy. Several examples of tissue engineering applications with the cell scaffold and DDS of growth factors and genes are introduced to emphasize the significance of biomaterial technology in new therapeutic and research fields.

Nuolat besikeičiančioje dinamiškoje aplinkoje žinios ir jų nuolatinė paieška bei kūrimas yra viena iš modernizacijos ir konkurencinio pranašumo sąlygų, produktų tobulinimo priemonė ir pagrindinis inovacijų šaltinis. Žinių valdymo tematika nuolat gvildenama mokslinėse publikacijose bei taikoma praktikoje. Pastaraisiais metais ši mokslinė disciplina yra glaudžiai siejama su inovacijų kūrimu. Teorinės įžvalgos bei empiriniai tyrimai įrodo, kad žinių pritaikomumas galimas tik tikslingai jas valdant. Pažymėtina, kad organizacijos inovatyvumui turi įtakos įvairūs organizaciniai veiksniai, ypač žinių vadyba, kurie moksliniuose šaltiniuose nėra vienareikšmiškai atskiriami. Straipsnyje pateikiama žinių vadybos sąsajumo su inovacijomis organizacijose teorinė analizė, nagrinėjami organizaciniai veiksniai, darantys įtaką inovacijų kūrimui.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: žinios, žinių vadyba, inovacijos, žinių vadybos ir inovacijų sąsajos, organizaciniai veiksniai.Interaction of knowledge management and innovation: conceptual approchesIngrida Girnienė SummaryIn the knowledge era, in the changing dynamic en­vironment, knowledge and innovation are the domi­nant resources. The complexity of innovation has been increased by growth in the amount of knowl­edge available to organizations as a basis for innova­tion (du Plessis, 2007). An analysis of basic research fields (knowledge, knowledge management, innova­tion and their interaction) has confirmed that knowl­edge management and innovation are analyzed in the number of studies (Swa et al., 1999; Quintane et al., 2011; Darroch, McNaughton, 2002; Darroch, 2005; Xu et al., 2010; Delgado-Verde et al., 2011; Akram et al., 2011; Koch, 2011), but no clear inter­action among all organizational factors that influence innovations are identified. However, it could be as­sumed that the efficient management of productive knowledge stimulates innovation development in organizations (Darroch, 2005). It should be noted that the organizational factors which could affect the innovative activities are not clearly indicated in the literature. This paper presents a theoretical analysis of knowledge management and innovation interac­tion, and the organizational factors that influence the development of innovations in an organization.

Purpose/Thesis: The recent decision to join three previously separate disciplines – library and information science, media studies, and cognition and social communication science, into a single discipline of social communication and media sciences prompted the author to investigate if joining of these disciplines according to the compulsory categorization published by the OECD, is supported by an overlap in their fields of research, or by a similarity in their methods of conducting it.Approach/Methods: An analysis of the review articles devoted to the research fields of all three disciplines, and of the information regarding the research interests of the journals affiliated with them, as published on the journals’ websites, allowed the author to establish their thematic scope. The results of this analysis were compared with bibliographic data and sets of keywords found in the affiliated journals. The comparison relied on an analysis of citations, and of coexistence of specialized terms.Results and conclusions: The analysis of the review articles suggested that the basic research fields of library and information science and of the media studies and cognition and social communication science are aligned and complement each other. This conclusion was further supported by the analysis of the guidelines for the potential contributors provided on the websites of the investigated journals. However, the analysis of the bibliographic data and of the keyword sets gave an entirely different idea of the relation between the studied disciplines, indicating that there is no significant thematic overlap between them. Nevertheless, this might be due to the quality of this particular data sample, and to the methods’ susceptibility to data disruption.Originality/Value: The article proves that there is an overlap between library and information science, and the social communication and media sciences. Furthermore, it shows the limits of the citation method and of the specialized terms coexistence method, resulting from the practices of the authors and the editorial teams of some of the journals discussed. The article shows that all quantitative studies of the state of scholarship in a given discipline in Poland must be conducted with great care, and their results should not be the only basis for conclusions.
