Full textAbstract:
Because of the complexity of the actors and the relationships between them, social networks are always represented by graphs. This structure makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of the network for the social actors who are there. This work presents a social network analysis approach that focused on processing Facebook pages and users who react to posts to infer influential people. In our study, we are particularly interested in studying the relationships between the posts of the page, and the reactions of fans (users) towards these posts. The topics covered include data crawling, graph modeling, and exploratory analysis using statistical tools and machine learning algorithms. We seek to detect influential people in the sense that the influence of a Facebook user lies in their ability to transmit and disseminate information. Once determined, these users have an impact on business for a specific brand. The proposed exploratory analysis has shown that the network structure and its properties have important implications for the outcome of interest.

Social networks are becoming an integral part of people's lives. Students are spending much time on social media and are considered the largest category that uses such application. This study tries to explore the influence of social media use, and especially Facebook, on high school students' performance. The study used the GPA of students in four courses and their responses regarding the use of social media. Statistical analysis is used to infer this relationship and its implications. Results indicated a support of this study aim and the relationship between the different dimensions of Facebook influence on students with respect to the time spent on the Internet and Facebook specifically. Conclusions and future work are stated at the end.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, social networks are daily used to share what people like, feel, where they travel to, etc. This huge amount of data can say a lot about their personality because it may reect their behaviour from the “real world” to the “virtual world”. Once obtained the access to this data, some authors have tried to infer the personality of the individual without the use of long questionnaires, only working with data in an implicit way, that is, transparently to the user. In this scenario, our work is focused on predicting one of the human personality traits, the Curiosity. In this paper, we analyse the information that can be extracted from the users’ profile on Facebook and the set of features that can be used to describe their degree of curiosity. Finally, we use these data to generate several prediction models. The best generated model is able to predict the degree of curiosity with an accuracy of 87%.

Understanding the social-psychological processes that characterize communities’ reactions to a pandemic is the first step toward formulating risk communications that can lead to better health outcomes. This study examines comments on Facebook pages of five Singapore media outlets to understand what topics are being discussed by the public in reaction to the implemented precautionary measures in Singapore so as to infer their psychological concerns. Using Anchored Correlation Explanation as a topic modelling technique, this study examines around 10,000 comments and identifies 21 topics that are discussed. The 21 topics were categorized and organized into seven broad themes of psychological concerns. Implications for theory and practice are then discussed.

Industry surveys and media reports suggest that recruiters increasingly use social networking websites (SNWs) in the selection process, but corresponding scientific research is still limited. Using signaling theory, we examine SNWs as a new way for applicants to signal their qualities to recruiters. Results suggest that recruiters and potential applicants (students and graduates) both perceive professional SNWs (e.g., LinkedIn) as a potential antecedent of Person-Job fit information and personal SNWs (e.g., Facebook) as a potential antecedent of Person-Organization fit information. When evaluating the same SNW profile, recruiters and potential applicants focus on different sections of the profile (e.g., recruiters focus more on job-related information), but they tend to infer similar personality traits. Implications for using SNWs in selection are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Motivation The interaction between proteins and nucleic acids plays a crucial role in gene regulation and cell function. Determining the binding preferences of nucleic acid-binding proteins (NBPs), namely RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) and transcription factors (TFs), is the key to decipher the protein–nucleic acids interaction code. Today, available NBP binding data from in vivo or in vitro experiments are still limited, which leaves a large portion of NBPs uncovered. Unfortunately, existing computational methods that model the NBP binding preferences are mostly protein specific: they need the experimental data for a specific protein in interest, and thus only focus on experimentally characterized NBPs. The binding preferences of experimentally unexplored NBPs remain largely unknown. Results Here, we introduce ProbeRating, a nucleic acid recommender system that utilizes techniques from deep learning and word embeddings of natural language processing. ProbeRating is developed to predict binding profiles for unexplored or poorly studied NBPs by exploiting their homologs NBPs which currently have available binding data. Requiring only sequence information as input, ProbeRating adapts FastText from Facebook AI Research to extract biological features. It then builds a neural network-based recommender system. We evaluate the performance of ProbeRating on two different tasks: one for RBP and one for TF. As a result, ProbeRating outperforms previous methods on both tasks. The results show that ProbeRating can be a useful tool to study the binding mechanism for the many NBPs that lack direct experimental evidence. and implementation Availability and implementation The source code is freely available at <https://github.com/syang11/ProbeRating>.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Job-related social networking websites (e.g. LinkedIn) are often used in the recruitment process because the profiles contain valuable information such as education level and work experience. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether people can accurately infer a profile owner’s self-rated personality traits based on the profile on a job-related social networking site. Design/methodology/approach In two studies, raters inferred personality traits (the Big Five and self-presentation) from LinkedIn profiles (total n=275). The authors related those inferences to self-rated personality by the profile owner to test if the inferences were accurate. Findings Using information gained from a LinkedIn profile allowed for better inferences of extraversion and self-presentation of the profile owner (r’s of 0.24-0.29). Practical implications When using a LinkedIn profile to estimate trait extraversion or self-presentation, one becomes 1.5 times as likely to actually select the person with higher trait extraversion compared to the person with lower trait extraversion. Originality/value Although prior research tested whether profiles of social networking sites (such as Facebook) can be used to accurately infer self-rated personality, this was not yet tested for job-related social networking sites (such as LinkedIn). The results indicate that profiles at job-related social networks, in spite of containing only relatively standardized information, “leak” information about the owner’s personality.

Abstract The central objective of this paper is to provide a new conceptual theoretical framework starting from the role of new new media in shaping a new kind of literature, which I call Cosmo-Literature. Towards this, I start working from Levinson’s differentiation among old media, new media, and new new media to arrive at the difference among the variable types of media. Next, I address the role of new new media in establishing world democracies and changing the social, cultural, and political world map. After that, I investigate the terms of “global village” and “cosmopolitanism” in relation to literature. To clarify what I mean by Cosmo Literature, I will investigate two new new media novels: Only One Millimeter Away, an Arabic Facebook novel by the Moroccan novelist Abdel-Wahid Stitu, and Hearts, Keys and Puppetry an English Twitter novel by Neil Gaiman, to infer the characteristics of Cosmo-Literature in general and Cosmo narration in particular.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose As the number of users on social network services (SNSs) continues to increase at a remarkable rate, privacy and security issues are consistently arising. Although users may not want to disclose their private attributes, these can be inferred from their public behavior on social media. In order to investigate the severity of the leakage of private information in this manner, the purpose of this paper is to present a method to infer undisclosed personal attributes of users based only on the data available on their public profiles on Facebook. Design/methodology/approach Facebook profile data consisting of 32 attributes were collected for 111,123 Korean users. Inferences were made for four private attributes (gender, age, marital status, and relationship status) based on five machine learning-based classification algorithms and three regression algorithms. Findings Experimental results showed that users’ gender can be inferred very accurately, whereas marital status and relationship status can be predicted more accurately with the authors’ algorithms than with a random model. Moreover, the average difference between the actual and predicted ages of users was only 0.5 years. The results show that some private attributes can be easily inferred from only a few pieces of user profile information, which can jeopardize personal information and may increase the risk to dignity. Research limitations/implications In this paper, the authors’ only utilized each user’s own profile data, especially text information. Since users in SNSs are directly or indirectly connected, inference performance can be improved if the profile data of the friends of a given user are additionally considered. Moreover, utilizing non-text profile information, such as profile images, can help increase inference accuracy. The authors’ can also provide a more generalized inference performance if a larger data set of Facebook users is available. Practical implications A private attribute leakage alarm system based on the inference model would be helpful for users not desirous of the disclosure of their private attributes on SNSs. SNS service providers can measure and monitor the risk of privacy leakage in their system to protect their users and optimize the target marketing based on the inferred information if users agree to use it. Originality/value This paper investigates whether private attributes of SNS users can be inferred with a few pieces of publicly available information although users are not willing to disclose them. The experimental results showed that gender, age, marital status, and relationship status, can be inferred by machine-learning algorithms. Based on these results, an early warning system was designed to help both service providers and users to protect the users’ privacy.

BACKGROUND: Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) represent a unique phenomenon of the 21st century. These substances are of critical consequences on public health and national economies. Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelics and entheogens, represent one category of NPS. Numerous private groups do exist on the online drug fora and the online social platforms including Facebook. Psychedelic tripping or acid trip (using LSD) depicts one of the controversial life experiences; tripping can be indoor or in public.MATERIALS And METHODS: This study is observational and cross-sectional; it was based on an Internet Snapshot taken for a private group on Facebook; the group is dedicated for (ab)users of psychedelic substances. The snapshot was captured for a thread in relation to a critical question which was posted on the safety of day tripping using acid (LSD) in public places. Individual accounts of commenters (n=172) were analyzed in relation to demographics, length and themes of comments, and the attitude towards public tripping. This study is the first of its kind; it aims to conclude with an inference whether outdoor tripping is favourable by psychedelics users or not.RESULTS: A total of 137 psychedelic users’ comments were analyzed out of 172 (79.7%); males contributed more (n=111, 81%); the mean age was 32.14 years; most were Caucasian males from the US. (Ab)users were mainly geo-mapped into the US (85.4%), Canada (5.1%), and UK (3.7%). Those who had a positive attitude in relation to day tripping public places accounted for three-quarters (75.2%). Ethnicities and nationalities had no differential effect on a psychedelic user’s age nor his (her) enthusiasm for day tripping. However, (ab)users from the US were found to be more enthused. Further, there was a significant difference in relation to the attitude in between individuals with; positive attitude and negative attitude (p-value<0.001).CONCLUSION: Psychedelics (ab)users appeared to be in favour of having an acid trip in public; those were mainly geographically mapped into the developed countries, while the contribution of the developing countries was minimal. This study can be copied to populations of interest of different backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities in an aim to infer changes in trends and preferences of individual users across time and place.

Full textAbstract:
Social network services allow a large population of end-users of software products to publicly share their concerns and experiences about software systems. From a software engineering perspective, such data can be collected and analyzed to help software development organizations to infer users’ emerging demands, receive their feedback, and plan the rapid evolution of software product lines. For the evolution of software product lines, organizations supplement emerging requirements in their products to meet user’s needs and also to retain their dominance in the market. Therefore, social network services, being a communication channel, have supported a number of software development activities such as requirements engineering. It has supported software development organizations to cope with numerous limitations of the traditional requirements engineering approaches by eliciting, prioritizing, and negotiating user requirements. However, these approaches do not consider eliciting requirements in terms of variability and commonality while identifying requirements. To address this issue, we have proposed a social network service-based requirement engineering process. It considers the attributes of users’ opinions to determine variability and commonality. In order to justify our proposed approach, a controlled experiment was conducted on a sample set of end-users on Facebook and Twitter. The experimental results show that the team using the proposed approach performed better in terms of efficiency and effectiveness than the team that used a traditional requirements engineering approach.

Full textAbstract:
Internet access in Myanmar has exploded from less than 1 percent in 2001 to more than 30 percent in 2018 and of those who have access, 40 percent list Facebook as their primary source of news. Coinciding with Facebook’s diffusion in Myanmar is a sharp increase in violence toward minority groups—especially the Rohingya. A U.N. Fact-Finding mission found Facebook was used to spread hate and facilitate the persecution of the Rohingya. But we know little about how people in Myanmar actually use Facebook, how they acquire and evaluate the information they find on the platform and whether they see disinformation or extreme speech. Furthermore, we lack information about the sentiments that Facebook users and non-users express about the Rohingya and how they view Facebook’s role in inter-ethnic conflict. We use interviews to address these questions. We find that people in Myanmar use Facebook for a variety of reasons, that they look at international and domestic sources, and encounter many different kinds of information—including extreme speech—on the platform. Most people also told us that they prefer sources that confirm their views.

Full textAbstract:
The article aims to analyze the use of tacit knowledge in Internet communication. The authors note that the use of new information and communication technologies and communication platforms plays a special role in modern Internet communication. To identify the specifics of the formation of Internet communication, the authors consider communication platforms as “hybrids”, which include actions of many actors existing in different registers: actions of programmers and various participants in the communication platform; lines of program code; many servers; communication devices of individual users; wires and electromagnetic waves, making it possible to transmit a signal; content that exists at the platform. On this basis, the authors infer that platform users participating in communication are always limited by the mechanisms of its functioning. The analysis of the functioning of interfaces, carried out on the basis of the concept of instrumentality by M. Heidegger, made it possible to conclude that interfaces act not only as tools. They become structures that allow the formation of the users’ “lifeworld”, as well as their behavioral habits. This conclusion was confirmed by a study of the functioning of such communication platforms as Facebook, VK, Instagram. A case study showed that the most important condition for the successful creation of ICT “hybrids” is the formation of user habits and skills of interaction with the interface. As a result of the analysis, the authors infer that the use of tacit knowledge plays a special role in this process. In the analysis of this knowledge, the authors rely on M. Polanyi’s concept and its development in G. Collins’s works that specify “relative” implicit knowledge, “somatic implicit knowledge” and “collective tacit knowledge”. The authors reveal the specifics of the use of implicit knowledge in Internet communication. As a result, they infer that “relational” implicit knowledge is always present in ICT “hybrids” in an explicit form. At this stage of technological development, “somatic” tacit knowledge is not represented in hybrids at all because a person does not yet have a specific experience of being physically in such digital spaces. However, based on the analysis of communication platforms, it can be concluded that the interface can be represented as a “machine” for the production of “collective tacit knowledge”, which allows transforming the experience of participants in Internet communication. A convenient interface for the production of “collective tacit knowledge” helps users to create new meanings and values, while a poorly perceived interface forces users to look for other ways of Internet communication. Hence, the authors conclude that the interface in communication platforms forms the mechanisms for transforming user experience and enables them to independently establish rules of behavior and problem solving within the framework of Internet communication, that is, to create specific conditions for the production of “collective tacit knowledge”.

The aims of this research are to identify the types of the code switching appeared on Facebook for the reason phenomena and to investigate the reasons that affect the occurrence of code switching in Facebook. This research uses qualitative method with Hoffman (1991) and Saville-Troike (1986) theories. The data were collected from photos caption and status on Facebook during twenty days from 1st January 2018 to 20th January 2018, that were posted by 90 users who were followed by the researchers on Facebook. 120 data have found on status and photo caption facebok. The result of this research shows that there are three types of code switching on Facebook, namely Inter-sentential switching with 54 data, Intra-sentential switching with 50 data, and Emblematic switching with 16 data. Besides that there are five reasons which influence the use of code switching on Facebook, namely talking about particular topic with 39 cases found, quoting somebody else with 13 cases found, being emphatic about something (express solidarity) with 45 cases found, Interjection (inserting sentence fillers or sentence connectors) with 10 cases found, and real lexical need with 13 cases found. The dominant reasons which influence the use of code switching on Facebook are being emphatic about something (express solidarity) with 45 cases.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo recoger cómo el Antigitanismo en España es confrontado actualmente por las mujeres gitanas, especialmente en sus discursos en las redes sociales. Mediante la identificación y análisis cualitativo de espacios y herramientas online que tiene a su disposición el feminismo gitano, principalmente Facebook y Twitter, analizaremos los principales temas y estrategias que surgen entorno a la articulación entre la lucha feminista y la lucha contra el Antigitanismo. La muestra seleccionada comprende 459 publicaciones procedentes de seis páginas en Facebook y seis cuentas en Twitter sobre un periodo de siete meses (septiembre 2019 - abril 2020). Los resultados desvelan los principales temas alrededor de los cuales el feminismo gitano construye sus luchas, y las diferentes estrategias que emplea para confrontar el feminismo blanco (payo) con sus prejuicios raciales: la pedagogía, la denuncia, la llamada a la acción y la construcción de redes y alianzas. Detectamos que Facebook se utiliza sobre todo para comunicarse con la propia comunidad, mientras en Twitter las activistas se dirigen principalmente al feminismo payo. Además, destacamos la existencia de dos perfiles complementarios en la actuación de estas mujeres en las redes: la ‘feminista gitana’ y la ‘gitana feminista’, que ponen el énfasis en el eje del género y de la etnia respectivamente, sin obviar los otros ejes de desigualdad. Se observó una gran cantidad de publicaciones relacionadas a la lucha feminista global, como el 8M o el 25N, pero también temas como maternidades, violencia obstétrica y derechos reproductivos, medios de comunicación y, a partir de marzo 2020, los brotes de Antigitanismo a raíz de la crisis sanitaria relacionada con el Coronavirus. Este artículo busca contribuir a los debates sobre el Antigitanismo en España dando visibilidad a las luchas de las mujeres gitanas, desde una perspectiva poco abordada, que es la del feminismo interseccional.

Resumo Este artigo discute a gramática de relações raciais e os racismos a partir do caso de um professor do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia São Paulo (IFSP) que fez um post em seu perfil do Facebook, o qual foi denunciado por alguns segmentos sociais como racista. Metodologicamente, empreendemos um estudo de caso que foi operacionalizado a partir da averiguação e análise do que foi dito pelo professor, como também as notas emitidas pela instituição, coletivos e movimentos negros, matérias jornalísticas sobre o caso e entrevista com estudantes. Inferimos que a gramática das relações sociais com foco racial está passando por mudanças de representação, por isso, há “choque” entre os sentidos visados (coordenações formais) entre os atores. Analisamos, sob uma perspectiva weberiana, as relações sociais que se estabeleceram e entendemos que as mesmas são balizadas por probabilidades de ações dentro de um sentido visado pelos atores. Assim, olhamos as ações discursivas dos agentes que proferiram e se justificaram ao perceber a gramática das relações raciais. Para tanto, realizamos uma descrição analítica do caso construindo um aporte teórico, significando e conceituando categorias-chave, como democracia racial. Palavras-chave: Relações Raciais; Racismos; Estudo de caso. Abstract This article sought to discuss the grammar of race relations and racism from the case of a professor at the Federal Institute of Education, Science, and Technology of Sao Paulo (IFSP) who posted on his Facebook profile and was denounced as racist by some social segment. Methodologically, we elaborated a case study that analyses what was said by the professor, as well as the notes released by the institution, collectives, and black movements, newspaper articles about the case, and interviews with students. We infer that the grammar of social relations with a racial focus is provoking changes in representation, so there is a “shock” between the senses targeted between the actors. We analyze, through a Weberian perspective, the social relations that are established and we understand that they are marked by probabilities of actions within a targeted sense (formal coordination) by the actors. Thus, we look at the discursive performances of the agents who uttered and justified themselves by understanding the grammar of racial relations. For this purpose, we carried out an analytical description of the case by constructing a theoretical contribution, meaning, and conceptualizing key categories such as racial democracy. Keywords: Social Relationships; Racisms; Targeted sense.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore attitudes of consumers who engage with brands through Facebook “likes”. It explores the extent to which these brands are self-expressive and examines the relationship between brand “liking” and brand outcomes. Brand outcomes include brand love and advocacy, where advocacy incorporates WOM and brand acceptance. Design/methodology/approach – Findings are presented from a survey of Facebook users who engage with a brand by “liking” it. Findings – Brands “liked” are expressive of the inner or social self. The study identifies a positive relationship between the self-expressive nature of brands “liked” and brand love. Consumers who engage with inner self-expressive brands are more likely to offer WOM for that brand. By contrast, consumers who engage with socially self-expressive brands are more likely to accept wrongdoing from a brand. Research limitations/implications – The research is exploratory and is limited to consumers who are engaged with a brand through “liking” it on the Facebook social network. Practical implications – The study offers suggestions for managers seeking to enhance brand engagement through Facebook “liking”, and to encourage positive brand outcomes (such as WOM) among consumers already engaged with a brand on Facebook. Originality/value – This paper provides new insights into consumer brand engagement evidenced through Facebook “liking”. It charts the relationship between “liked” self-expressive brands and brand love. Distinctions are drawn between brand outcomes among consumers who “like” for socially self-expressive reasons, and consumers who are brand engaged by “liking” to express their inner selves.

Presentamos algunas reflexiones metodológicas surgidas en el marco de una investigación feminista de diseño etnográfico digital desarrollada en un grupo de Facebook en torno al apoyo y cuidado mutuo que convoca a mujeres de una localidad del sur de Chile. Los objetivos de la investigación buscan comprender las relaciones de poder patriarcales que se ejercen en este espacio de interacción, las regulaciones a las performances de género y las significaciones de comunidad que sus propias participantes asignan al espacio. Contextualizamos la investigación, explicando cómo se gesta a partir de las reflexiones de nuestras propias experiencias como participantes. Luego, presentamos las propuestas teóricas y las decisiones que tomamos al elaborar el diseño metodológico. Finalmente, profundizamos en aspectos transversales como nuestros posicionamientos, la dicotomía sujeto/objeto, la categoría mujer y el ejercicio del poder. La originalidad del presente artículo guarda relación con la naturaleza de la misma investigación, es decir, el análisis de un grupo online desde una mirada feminista, cuestionándonos las posiciones de poder en la producción de conocimiento, vislumbrando sus aportes a la transformación social y la colonización del conocimiento, los cuales contrastamos con nuestra propia experiencia en el desarrollo de la etnografía digital a la luz de los debates sobre epistemologías feministas y propuestas metodológicas, profundizando en las potencialidades y limitantes que encontramos en el proceso.

Este artigo apresenta uma pesquisa com 30 professores de matemática de Educação Básica, em turmas do 6º ao 9º ano, de escolas públicas e particulares, que efetuam suas aulas por meio de ensino remoto, com o objetivo de saber o que esses professores consideram como dificuldade ou facilidade na realização do ensino remoto de matemática, em período de isolamento social. Trata-se de uma verificação qualitativa. Como instrumento de coleta de dados, utilizou-se um questionário com dez perguntas, enviado via Google Forms. Os professores foram convidados a participar desta investigação via redes sociais (WhatsApp e Facebook) com um alcance sobre oito estados brasileiros (RS, CE, SP, BA, RJ, MG, MT e MA). A partir dessas contribuições, aplicou-se a Análise Textual Discursiva que resultou em levantamento de categorias emergentes. Para concluir, pode-se afirmar a emergência de contribuições que sinalizem o reconhecimento de várias dificuldades que estão ocorrendo na realização desse ensino. Dentro dessa resultante, o vídeo utilizado como recurso didático parece funcionar como um conector entre todos os professores, pois foi o único recurso educacional considerado por todos como uma facilidade. Nesse quesito se insere tanto o vídeo pronto como aquele que é produzido pelo próprio professor de matemática.

Information systems (IS) may not improve organizational and/or companies’ performance if they are not used by stakeholders. Understanding why people continue or discontinue use of IS is crucial in increasing users’ acceptance. This article aims to analyze what is needed to perpetuate use of Facebook as a social media channel. Factors such as confirmation, perceived usefulness, social influence, satisfaction and attitude were tested for their impact on continued use intention in relation to Facebook. The inter-relations between the aforementioned constructs are tested with empirical data collected from 732 European university students. We found that social influence essentially had no effect within the model, so it seems that intention to continue using Facebook is affected mainly by stakeholders’/users’ attitude toward using this platform. Although we based the research on the IS Continuance Model, this article has extended its dimensions by incorporating (1) social influence and (2) attitude, offering the first investigation of continued use intention in relation to Facebook by testing the inter-relations between the aforementioned factors.

This study examines effects of political cynicism and efficacy on online political engagement of Sri Lankan undergraduates. A survey was conducted among 155 Sri Lankan undergraduates that support the views of the Inter-University Student Federation (IUSF), an evidently anti-government student movement that claims to be dedicated to protecting free education in the country. Initial analysis showed that respondents were highly cynical (mean: 4.49 on a 1 to 5 scale). The study hypothesized that both political cynicism and efficacy exert a positive impact on online political engagement of respondents. The study also tested the effects of two moderators (extent of Facebook use, and the year of study). Results showed that political cynicism exerts a positive impact (standardized coefficient:.274, p:.000) on online political engagement, and this effect is positively moderated by the extent of Facebook use (standardized coefficient:.261, p:.000). Results also showed that internal political efficacy is not a significant predictor of the dependent variable.

The explosion of social networking websites in general, and Facebook in particular, impacts the educational context both positively and negatively. Too much time spent on Facebook leads to negative effects on the university work of students. The objectives of this research are to measure and analyse the relationship between the Facebook dependence and the negative consequences of the excessive use of Facebook on the university work of students. In this respect, a conceptual model has been tested that has two inter-correlated latent variables: the withdrawal syndrome, measuring the Facebook dependence and the negative consequences onto the university work. The analysis of results has been done onto three groups featuring the user’s profile according to the network size (number of Facebook friends) of students. The findings show that the larger the Facebook network, the higher the frequency and duration of Facebook use. The analysis of measurement invariance shows that the model exhibits factorial, metric, and scalar invariance on the three user profiles. The comparison between groups shows that students having larger networks and spending more time on Facebook have a higher level of dependence and their university work is more affected. Key words: formative measurement models, e-learning process, educational value, motivation to learn.

This study investigates how candidates’ Facebook performance, measured by the number of average shares, likes, and comments per post, affects the personal vote they gained during the Hungarian general election campaign of 2014. The database contains three of the most voted-for candidates owning Facebook pages from all single-member districts. The results show that the average number of shares on candidates’ Facebook pages is positively associated with electoral outcome after controlling for, inter alia, the vote share of their respective party on list in the districts, whereas the numbers of likes and comments are not significantly related to the dependent variable.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This study aims to address the following questions: What is enduring about consumer behavior on social media given that digital and social media (DSM) technologies change rapidly? Why do millennials use social media to the extent they do? The authors’ review revealed that a prevailing theoretical approach that may help answer these questions is inadequate. The technology acceptance model (TAM) from information systems was grafted into marketing to explain consumer technology adoption. TAM predicts Facebook adoption effectively, as demonstrated in the authors’ first study, but does not go beyond that in explaining the why’s behind its use. In a second study, the authors used the means-end approach (MEC) complementarily to unearth the why’s of millennials’ use of Facebook. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a mixed-methods design combining the structural modeling of TAM with the probing one-on-one interviews and laddering of MEC. Findings The authors found that the laddering process both widened and deepened TAM’s scope. It not only confirmed the importance of the TAM attributes, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, but it also revealed others, in determining adoption. It was also able to dig deeper from these to uncover a mesh of fundamental values that millennials used Facebook to satisfy, such as belongingness, pleasure, social acceptance and inner harmony, in their quest for inner and relational contentment. The authors also found negative aspects that kept consumers away, such as its lack of privacy and the overwhelming nature of unwanted video in its feed, tying these back to important values. Research limitations/implications The authors build on prior exploratory work relating to DSM use and uncover psychological drivers of consumer behavior on social media, by blending TAM in a consumer context, and the MEC approach. The TAM-MEC framework used here offers a technology-independent template for other DSM research, by focusing on how and why consumers use media socially. Practical implications Managerially, the authors discuss the building of sustainable marketing strategy on enduring consumer values rather than on transient attributes or technologies. The authors also discuss potential areas of vulnerability for Facebook, such as its increasing use of video and live content, which creates negative consumer sentiment and which may drive consumers to competitors. Originality/value By blending the quantitative TAM and the qualitative MEC, something that has not been done before in marketing, this research provides trustworthy answers to the research questions. In so doing, this study also contributes some cohesion to the fragmented DSM research field, as called for recently in prominent journals, by anchoring DSM study in well-established theories in marketing.

The emergence and growth of social media today has changed the way that people communicate and interact with each other. Thus, social media has considered as an effective tool in the marketing campaign. In regard to event marketing, event planners and organizers use social media (e.g. social network sites) as an important marketing medium to increase the number of potential attendees to visit the events. However, the major challenge to event marketers is to fully understand the process of how social media marketing gain special event customers’ acceptance. This study chose Facebook event page as study context and applied the technology acceptance model (TAM) as theoretical foundation. In addition, this paper synthesizes the theoretical basis of the event marketing, emotional factors, perceived relevance and its application to social media (e.g., Facebook event page) from previous studies. The study aims to come out with a conceptual model (extended TAM) which explains fully inner-mechanism of the relationships among variables: (1) the emotions that online fansexpress on Facebook affect their acceptance of the Facebook event page as a legitimate marketing tool; (2) perceived relevance from user perspective influence their acceptance of the Facebook event page; (3) this “acceptance” mechanism has an impact on fans’ intentions to attend the event.

The research presented in this paper is based on analysis of the Facebook posts of five major Hungarian political parties over the course of the official campaign season leading up to the 2018 parliamentary elections. We conducted a mixed-method analysis on 795 Facebook posts. First, the main topics of the parties were collected. Second, the posts of the parties were analyzed from a populist communicational perspective. Third, we tried to find some correlations between the basic topics and the populist communicational categories. Finally, we outline possible differences and similarities between parties’ communication. Our analysis shows that opposition parties did not have a common communicational strategy on Facebook while ruling parties emphasized both inner and exterior threats that could destabilize Hungary.

Code-switching, a code change in language use, is a language phenomenon in bilingual or multilingual societies.The rapid development of technology causes many language changes also occur in internet including social networking sites such as <em>Facebook</em>. This research is about how the code-switching from <em>Bahasa Indonesia</em> to <em>English</em> is demonstrated in <em>Facebook</em> status of UAI students. The research focuses on the types of code-switching, language patterns, themes, and function of code-switching. Data are code-switched <em>Facebook</em> status analyzed with theories of code-switching by Poplack (1980), Gumperz (1982), and Romaine (2000). This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The result demonstrates the types of code-switchings in <em>Facebook</em> status are inter-sentential and intra-sentential switchings. Both types of code-switchings are expressed in words, phrases, and sentences. Code-switched words are nouns, adjectives, adverbs, and verbs. Phrases in code-switching are noun, adjective, adverbial, and prepositional phrases. Whereas code-switched sentences found in the <em>Facebook </em>status are single, compound, and complex sentences. The themes in code-switched <em>Facebook</em> status cover the themes related with social, academic, and personal lives of the language users. The functions of code-switching in the analyzed status are to express emotion and particular meanings, to impose specific meanings, and to show language user’s identities.

This study scrutinizes the structural aspects of Jordanian Romanized Arabic-English code-switching (CS) on Facebook. All posts examined are written in Romanized Arabic, a new trend of writing on computer-mediated communication (CMC). Three types of CS are examined, i.e., inter-sentential, intra-sentential, and tags, though the greatest focus is on the intra-sentential instances because of their syntactic complexity. Different syntactic categories are examined and critically scrutinized. Finally, the validity of two controversial syntactic constraints, i.e., the Equivalence Constraint (EC) and the Free Morpheme Constraint (FMC) by Poplack (1980) are tested. The findings show that nouns and noun phrases are the most frequently used type of switches among the other syntactic categories, i.e., verbs and verb phrases, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions and prepositional phrases, and pronouns. The results also obviously reveal that there is a violation to the two constraints, namely The Free Morpheme Constraint and The Equivalence Constraint.

Purpose This research aims to investigate the link between social media marketing (SMM) activities and brand love. It further investigates the mediating impact of self-expressive brands (inner and social) between the relationships of SMM activities and brand love, which in turn impact brand loyalty. Using the context provided by Facebook, the author contributes in three ways to the nascent marketing literature: by linking SMM activates with brand love, by investigating the mediating impact of self-expressive brands between SMM activities and brand love and by investigating the impact of brand love on brand loyalty. Design/methodology/approach Using a sample of 400 followers of Facebook pages, data were collected and analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings reveal that SMM activities positively affect self-expressive brands (inner and social), which in turn impact brand love. The author also finds that brand love positively affects brand loyalty. The author further finds that self-expressive brand (inner) fully mediates the relationship between SMM activities and brand love, whereas self-expressive brand (social) partially mediates this relationship. Originality/value Previous researchers neither have the chance to link SMM activities with brand love nor to explain its role as an antecedent to self-expressive brand. Therefore, the author contributes to nascent literature by linking and investigating the mediating impact of self-expressive brands between the relationships of SMM activities and brand love which in turn impact brand loyalty.

Abstract Psychology usually treats the creative act as both novel and adapted, a definition that can embrace the social and the cultural features of creativity. Allied to the need for social bonding and the promise of self-realization, available technological resources have enabled valuable social networks. However, social isolation caused by the COVID-19 crisis has reduced outdoor and collective personal experiences usually shared on Facebook, encouraging some users to re-publish past events. Considering that posting is potentially a creative act, hence both new and adapted, may this action now equally become old and adapted? To illustrate the question, a set of 293 posts made by twelve Brazilians with mean age of 49.7 years (SD 7.34) were collected from May 25th to June 8th, 51 of them being re-posts. The authors were inter-viewed about their use of Facebook, relation to others, and first re-posts published in the period. Thematic dialogical analysis was applied to the content of the interviews and led to finding new meanings about old posts. Despite a small sample (n = 12) and the fact that 56.1% of Facebook users in Brazil are under 35 years old, the analysis of the phenomenon can shed new light on problematization of the notion of creativity by reflecting on its role in regulation of human emotions during the COVID-19 crisis, through the action of posting legacy experience on Facebook.

Since the launch of Facebook (FB) in 2006, social media participation has grown rapidly during the past decade. Although FB and YouTube (YT) still occupy the most prominent positions in the social media landscape, Instagram (IG) is rapidly gaining ground, and now has a market share of 35%. It is not uncommon for users to have more than one account. New social media platforms have been developed and gained some popularity, some major concerns have been raised. Displacement–reinforcement effects, such as changes in attitude and loyalty, may appear in relation to both new and old media. In addition, age appears to influence the platform usage and preference. These matters led us to our research question: Is the Internet generation more likely than other generations to switch from FB to YT or IG? Keywords: Social media choice, generation gap, niche theory

Full textAbstract:
Despite the widespread efforts to develop flexible formats such as PDB, mmCIF, CIF., to store and exchange data, the lack of best practice metadata pose major challenges. Readily adoptable methods with demonstrated usability across multiple solutions to create on-demand metadata are critical for the effective archive and exchange of data in a user-centric fashion. It is important that there exists a metadata-ecosystem where metadata of all structural and biological research evolve synchronously. Previously we described (Chem-BLAST, http://xpdb.nist.gov/chemblast/pdb.pl) a new `root' based concept used in language development (Latin & Sanskrit) to simplify the selection or creation of terms for metadata for millions of chemical structures from the PDB and the PubChem. Subsequently we extended it to text-based data on Cell-image-data (BMC, doi:10.1186/1471-2105-12-487). Here we describe further extension of this concept by creating roots and rules to define an ecosystem for composing new or modifying existing metadata for demonstrated inter-operability. A major focus of the rules is to ensure that the metadata terms are self-explaining (intuitive), highly-reused to describe many experiments and also that they are usable in a federated environment to construct new use-cases. We illustrate the use of this concept to compose semantic terminology for a wide range of disciplines ranging from material science to biology. Examples of the use of such metadata to create demonstrated solutions to describe data on cell-image data will also be presented. I will present ideas and examples to foster discussion on metadata architecture a) that is independent of formats and b) that is better suited for a federated environment c) that could be used readily to build components such as resource description framework (RDF) and Web services for Semantic web.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Water-related injuries and fatalities pose serious public health issues, especially to African American youth, a demographic group that drowns at disproportionately high rates. Aim. The purpose of this study was to determine if a social marketing intervention targeting the parents and guardians of inner-city youth (U.S. Midwest) could positively influence their perceptions concerning water safety. Method. Researchers employed a quasi-experimental design using matched pairs to evaluate the intervention. Participants consisted of parents who enrolled their children in a six-session survival-swimming course. Guided by the Health Belief Model, the researchers disseminated six prevention messages using six different channels (brochure, e-mail, SMS text message, postcard, Facebook, and window cling). Results. The findings from a two-way analysis of covariance revealed that treatment group participants’ knowledge and perceptions of water-related threat all changed favorably. Additionally, all participants planned to reenroll their children in swim lessons. Discussion. A social marketing campaign using the Health Belief Model improved inner-city parents’ knowledge regarding water safety and enhanced their self-efficacy. Conclusion. This study provides practitioners with feasible strategies (prevention messages) to supplement swim lessons, with the ultimate goal of preventing drowning among at-risk youth.

The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanisms of online networking and exchange of social support among members of a migrant virtual group of Russian-speaking women in Poland on Facebook. The research was based on content analysis and non-participant observation during two weeks in November and December 2019. I also had two online conversations with the moderator of the group based on a prepared list of questions. It appeared, that members of the group used networking to improve communication on a wide range of issues. Conversations available online provide insight on how migration determines daily issues and social life but also as a source of socially-reproducing precarity. Informality as a social model of inter-group relations prevails among members of the Russian-speaking community. Four main types of social support emerged from communication on the forum – informational, instrumental, emotional and community building. Russian-speaking women use Facebook group to share information, empower each other, boost self-esteem and find companionship. The findings allow to consider the role of the online group as a complementary mechanism for adaptation and improvement of well-being of migrants in Poland.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this paper is to study the mechanisms of online networking and exchange of social support among members of a migrant virtual group of Russian-speaking women in Poland on Facebook. The research was based on content analysis and non-participant observation during two weeks in November and December 2019. I also had two online conversations with the moderator of the group based on a prepared list of questions. It appeared, that members of the group used networking to improve communication on a wide range of issues. Conversations available online provide insight on how migration determines daily issues and social life but also as a source of socially-reproducing precarity. Informality as a social model of inter-group relations prevails among members of the Russian-speaking community. Four main types of social support emerged from communication on the forum – informational, instrumental, emotional and community building. Russian-speaking women use Facebook group to share information, empower each other, boost self-esteem and find companionship. The findings allow to consider the role of the online group as a complementary mechanism for adaptation and improvement of well-being of migrants in Poland.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop and empirically test a process model (comprising of seven dimensions), for identifying online customer engagement patterns leading to recommendation. These seven dimensions are communication, interaction, experience, satisfaction, continued involvement, bonding, and recommendation. Design/methodology/approach The authors used a non-participant form of netnography for analyzing 849 comments from Australian banks Facebook pages. High levels of inter-coder reliability strengthen the study’s empirical validity and ensure minimum researcher bias and maximum reliability and replicability. Findings The authors identified 22 unique pattern of customer engagement, out of which nine patterns resulted in recommendation/advocacy. Engagement pattern communication-interaction-recommendation was the fastest route to recommendation, observed in nine instances (or 2 percent). In comparison, C-I-E-S-CI-B-R was the longest route to recommendation observed in ninety-six instances (or 18 percent). Of the eight patterns that resulted in recommendation, five patterns (or 62.5 percent) showed bonding happening before recommendation. Research limitations/implications The authors limited the data collection to Facebook pages of major banks in Australia. The authors did not assess customer demography and did not share the findings with the banks. Practical implications The findings will guide e-marketers on how to best engage with customers to enhance brand loyalty and continuously be in touch with their clients. Originality/value Most models are conceptual and assume that customers typically journey through all the stages in the model. The work is interesting because the empirical study found that customers travel in multiple different ways through this process. It is significant because it changes the way the authors understand patterns of online customer engagement.

The trend towards the use of the Internet for health information purposes is rising. Utilization of various forms of social media has been a key interest in consumer health informatics (CHI). To reveal the information needs of autism-affected users, this study centers on the research of users’ interactions and information sharing within autism communities on social media. It aims to understand how autism-affected users utilize support groups on Facebook by applying natural language process (NLP) techniques to unstructured health data in social media. An interactive visualization method (pyLDAvis) was employed to evaluate produced models and visualize the inter-topic distance maps. The revealed topics (e.g., parenting, education, behavior traits) identify issues that individuals with autism were concerned about on a daily basis and how they addressed such concerns in the form of group communication. In addition to general social support, disease-specific information, collective coping strategies, and emotional support were provided as well by group members based on similar personal experiences. This study concluded that Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) is feasible and appropriated to derive topics (focus) from messages posted to the autism support groups on Facebook. The revealed topics help healthcare professionals (content providers) understand autism from users’ perspectives and provide better patient communications.

Social media research needs social theory in order to historicize and contextualize findings. At the same time, (analogue) social theory may benefit from the affordances of digital methods. This article explores this Janus-faced argument by way of a Facebook crawl of the Swedish field of culture. First, it is argued that field theory helps understand inter-institutional interaction on social media, and that it places activities on social media in a broader social context. Findings of the Facebook crawl illustrate the persistence of the structure and autonomy of the field of culture as depicted by Bourdieu. Second, despite Bourdieu’s rejection of network analysis, it is argued that it supplements empirical field research on two counts. Bourdieu argued for a relational understanding of the social world and for the study of “objective relations” between agents in a field. Following this, the network analysis provides a focus on actual practices—crystallized acts of recognition in the form of “likes” between institutions. This contrasts the somewhat oxymoronic use of self-reports to study “objective relations” that to date characterize Bourdieusian sociology. Additionally, the network analysis of a crawl of institutions on social media has the capacity to begin to uncover the amplitude, or reach, of a social field—which to date is rare in empirical field research. The article concludes by arguing for the mutual benefit of social theory and digital methods.

Purpose Social media communications on platforms such as Facebook and LinkedIn can allow managers to interact cost effectively with trading partners. However, although most firms have an online presence on multiple social media platforms, the question remains as to whether marketers’ widespread social media investments are beneficial for firms. The paper aims to discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach This paper presents competing hypotheses to explore how firms’ investment in one form of social media impacts activity on another form of social media. To do so, the authors draw on a data set of 208 large Australian organizations using objective social media activity metrics that measure business-to-business (B2B) audience engagement. Findings The findings suggest that widespread social media activity on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube negatively affects a firm’s marketing activity on Facebook. The results indicate that having a social media preference whereby firms focus on a specific social media platform is more effective in forming successful inter-organizational relationships than a multiplatform approach. Originality/value The study contributes to the sparse research that seeks to leverage social media for audience engagement beyond a business-to-consumer context. The study’s findings provide insights into the key mechanisms that underlie firms’ B2B social media strategies, and in so doing, offer a fresh perspective on the importance of interactive marketing communication.

Recientemente, hemos visto como un partido político español con representación parla-mentaria anunció que había interpuesto acciones legales ante los tribunales españoles contra Twitter, por una presumible vulneración de “derechos fundamentales como la libertad de expresión, el derecho a la participación política, la libertad ideológica y el principio de pluralismo e igualdad política, recogidos to-dos en la Constitución”. Esta noticia pone en evidencia varias cuestiones que no suelen tenerse en cuenta por el usuario medio a la hora de acceder a cualquiera de las redes sociales más utilizadas, como pueden ser, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram o LinkedIn. Ante esta tesitura, se analizará desde una perspectiva inter-nacional privatista la naturaleza del contrato, así como las cláusulas de sumisión incluidas en los mismos.

This paper presents the words, collocations, and expressions which have been announced as winners of the Word of the Year contest, held on an annual basis in Russia for the last 12 years. Taken together, all these lexical units allow us to draw conclusions about some current trends in the modern-day Russian public discourse, namely its explicit politicization, increased emotionality, and the use of word play in an indirect dialogue with the political authorities. The inner meaning of word play, which is particularly widespread in social networks, represents the users’ critical attitude, aiming to undermine conventional values through ridicule. Illustrative examples reflecting the views of the Facebook community (winners of the “Word of the Year”) are cited in the paper.
