The significance of Martin Buber\u27s I-thou philosophy for communication theory

In a review of literature, it is clear that the significance of Martin Buber’s philosophy of dialogue, or I-Thou philosophy, has been recognized by scholars in related disciplines. It also appears that no in-depth study has been done to discover the significance of Martin Buber’s I-Thou philosophy for communication theory. In order to determine this significance the author proposes to: (1) Examine the efforts of communication scholars as they have attempted to establish the significance of Martin Bubder’s I-Thou philosophy for communication theory.; (2) Present an analysis of Martin Buber’s concept of relation.; (3) Present an analysis of Martin buber’s concept of dialogue.; and (4) Propose a definition of interpersonal communication based upon Martin Buber’s I-Thou philosophy of dialogical relation. Communication scholars are greatly hindered in their research of the I-Thou philosophy by the limited scholarship that has been done on Buber’s writings. To this point in time, research continues without an in-depth guide to the relationship of this philosophy to communication theory

Phylogenetic analysis of West Nile Virus in Maricopa County, Arizona: Evidence for dynamic behavior of strains in two major lineages in the American Southwest.

West Nile Virus (WNV) has been detected annually in Maricopa County, Arizona, since 2003. With this in mind, we sought to determine if contemporary strains are endemic to the county or are annually imported. As part of this effort, we developed a new protocol for tiled amplicon sequencing of WNV to efficiently attain greater than 99% coverage of 14 WNV genomes collected directly from positive mosquito pools distributed throughout Maricopa County between 2014 and 2017. Bayesian phylogenetic analyses revealed that contemporary genomes fall within two major lineages; NA/WN02 and SW/WN03. We found that all of the Arizona strains possessed an amino acid substitution known to be under positive selection, which has arisen independently at least four times in Arizona. The SW/WN03 strains exhibited transient behavior, with at least 10 separate introductions into Arizona when considering both historical and contemporary strains. However, NA/WN02 strains are geographically differentiated and appear to be endemic in Arizona, with two clades that have been circulating for four and seven years. This establishment in Maricopa County provides the first evidence of local overwintering by a WNV strain over the course of several years in Arizona. Within a national context, the placement of eleven contemporary Arizona strains in the NA/WN02 lineage indicates while WNV first entered the northeastern United States in 1999, the most ancestral extant strains of WNV are now circulating in the American southwest
