On one hand, human mobility provides encounters between peers and opportunities for communication without additional infrastructure; on the other hand, it introduces intermittent connections, network partitions, and long delay, requiring sophisticated message-forwarding mechanisms to improve network performance.
Empirical findings from social psychology research suggest that similarities in attitudes and behaviour are important in first-time encounters between people, and lead to better communication and personal attraction.
This article adopts a performative approach to analysing encounters between tourists, retailers, objects, architectures, detailing the communication devices inherent in bringing "to life" a thematic selection of a place's multiple identities to promote tourism.
Moreover, a qualitative study about encounters between primary care physicians and elderly patients found that communication strategies and information giving skills, such as sharing of power and responsibility, empathy, and treating the patient like a person, facilitated communication and promoted acceptance of flu vaccination.
ED care is characterized by brief encounters between health care staff and patients [9] and is increasingly pressured by ED overcrowding [10], increased patient volumes [11], and relative understaffing, all of which hamper optimal physician-patient communication.
Aggressions involved agonistic encounters between individuals.
The evolution of differences in pheromone communication systems is thought to facilitate and possibly even cause moth speciation [5], [6], [9] [14] by promoting "assortative meeting" – the uneven probability of encounters between different types of individuals [15] – of conspecific moths.
Mutual communication is craved by women in care encounters [ 38] and earlier research stress the importance of access to professional interpreters in care encounters between different languages [ 29, 43].
The quality of communication dynamics during the clinical encounter between the patient and health care provider could be one such factor contributing to observed health-related differences in Hispanic subgroups.
41 Another common major challenge encountered is communication breakdown between the field team and the coordination team at the Garissa Veterinary Office because of wide spatial distances and flooded roads during heavy rains.
