Chung-Jui LAI - Polarization of Political Opinion by News MediaREVULN
In 2016 US election, social media played a vital role in shaping public opinions as expressed by the news media that have created the phenomenon of polarization in the United States. Because social media gave people the ability to follow, share, post, comment below everything, the phenomenon of political opinions being spread easily and quickly on social media by the news agencies is bringing out a significantly polarized populace.
Consequently, it’s very important to understand the language differences on Twitter and figure out how propaganda spread by different political parties that influence or perhaps mislead public opinion. This talk will introduce the relationship among the social media, public opinion, and news media, then suggests the method to collect the tweets from Twitter and conduct sentimental and logistic regression analysis on them. Furthermore, this talk points out the special aspect on the relationship between the polarization and the topic of this conference (fake news, disinformation and propaganda).

- research on fake news

What are the pathways for spreading disinformation on social media platforms? This article addresses this question by collecting, categorising, and situating an extensive body of research on how application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by social media platforms facilitate the spread of disinformation. We first examine the landscape of official social media APIs, then perform quantitative research on the open-source code repositories GitHub and GitLab to understand the usage patterns of these APIs. By inspecting the code repositories, we classify developers' usage of the APIs as official and unofficial, and further develop a four-stage framework characterising pathways for spreading disinformation on social media platforms. We further highlight how the stages in the framework were activated during the 2016 US Presidential Elections, before providing policy recommendations for issues relating to access to APIs, algorithmic content, advertisements, and suggest rapid response to coordinate campaigns, development of collaborative, and participatory approaches as well as government stewardship in the regulation of social media platforms.
This academic study on the status quo and future of strategic communication and public relations is based on responses from 1,046 communication professionals working in different types of organizations (25.6% in Canada and 74.4% in the United States). The sample achieved a fairly balanced gender split (47.7% men and 52.1% women) for accurate comparisons. The average age of participants was 41.2 years.
This newest edition of the NACM is part of the Global Communication Monitor series and joins existing studies in Europe (ECM 2020), Latin America (LCM 2020-2021) and Asia-Pacific (APCM 2020-20201) to explore diverse topics, including COVID-19 and communication professionals’ responses, ethical challenges and resources for communication professionals, cybersecurity and communications, gender equality in the profession, strategic issues and communication channels, competency development, salaries, and characteristics of excellent communication departments.
Highlight results include:
• Seven out of 10 professionals were satisfied with their organization’s communication and management during the COVID-19 pandemic, although the satisfaction level significantly decreased as the scope of the leadership responsibility decreases.
• Professionals in the U.S. were significantly more likely than their Canadian counterparts to report ethical challenges, and most ethical concerns are related to social media strategies.
• More than half of professionals confirmed their organization had been a victim of cyberattack or data theft.
• Nearly half (49.5%) of surveyed women acknowledged the impact of the glass ceiling in leadership advancement.
• While building and maintaining trust remains as the top strategic issue for the communication profession, tackling diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) presents a pressing need.
• Professionals recognize the need to improve competencies, especially in data, technology, and management.

The power and influence of social media has continued to grow globally over the past decade. During this period, the scope and scale of usage have changed dramatically, from the early days when social media was primarily fulfilling social needs of connectivity, communication, socialization and entertainment, to the current era, where social media applications are seen as important tools of governing, development, diplomacy and business. More recently, informational flows taking place through social media have been informing—and misinforming—public opinion and influencing policy development and political communication. For example, in 2015 and 2016, social media played a critical role in shaping public opinion internationally and on national levels, during numerous major events with global implications. During the past few years, as applications of “big data” and artificial intelligence continued to mature, the level of sophistication and influence of social media expanded further. As societal penetration rates increased, these data-driven applications started to provide deep insights into public views, sentiments, needs, behaviors and activities in numerous countries at unprecedented granular levels. The newfound insights harnessed through social media created new opportunities, as well as new risks.
Summary of the Impact of a Non-Fiction, Low Budget, Digital Social Media ProjectIJITE
This summary includes a synopsis of a 5-year social media exploratory project: non-fiction Facebook
advert plus a literature review to support the dissemination of the results relating to the technique and the
theme of 'making digital work'.
A digital marketing strategy ideally should incorporate a range of methods and budgets (qualitative and
quantitative in design) and this has been an aim of this work. To summarise, the 'reach' of 26 Facebook
posts (this included adverts and social messages: organic and non-organic design) for an approximate
£50.00 budget resulted in 6,239 people (reach/saw the advert) outside of Britain. The impact is the
primary data ‘reach’ results for this project. Collectively, by 2024, the primary and secondary methods
provided a result of 86,860 findings.

Rendere smart il lavoro agile delle donne: tra diritti, tutele e conciliazione.Ares 2.0 - aresduezero
L’avvento delle tecnologie digitali ha reso lo smart working un concetto sempre più
praticato nel panorama delle economie avanzate. Se, tuttavia, si tratta di una modalità
di lavoro presente già da diversi anni - principalmente all’interno dei grandi gruppi
multinazionali e in via minoritaria anche nelle altre imprese del tessuto produttivo europeo
- è certo che essa ha assunto centralità durante l’attuale emergenza sanitaria. Con le
misure di distanziamento fisico adottate dalla quasi totalità dei governi europei, infatti,
lo smart working è diventato per quasi tutte le attività manifatturiere e i servizi non
essenziali, l’unica modalità possibile per garantire continuità produttiva. Questa
improvvisa accelerazione dei processi di diffusione di questa modalità di lavoro ha messo
in luce le problematiche legate al lavoro a distanza e ha imposto una riflessione da parte
di tutte le componenti della società civile. Ci riferiamo ai temi della conciliazione tra i
tempi di vita e di lavoro, alla sicurezza e all’ergonomia delle postazioni di lavoro, al
grado di autonomia e alle modalità con cui rimanere connessi con la dirigenza aziendale
e con i propri colleghi, al tema dell’individualizzazione del lavoro e a tutta una serie di
problematiche che sono emerse in questi ultimi mesi di utilizzo forzato della modalità di
lavoro in remoto.

Improving Workplace Safety Performance in Malaysian SMEs: The Role of Safety ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: In the Malaysian context, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) experience a significant
burden of workplace accidents. A consensus among scholars attributes a substantial portion of these incidents to
human factors, particularly unsafe behaviors. This study, conducted in Malaysia's northern region, specifically
targeted Safety and Health/Human Resource professionals within the manufacturing sector of SMEs. We
gathered a robust dataset comprising 107 responses through a meticulously designed self-administered
questionnaire. Employing advanced partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) techniques
with SmartPLS 3.2.9, we rigorously analyzed the data to scrutinize the intricate relationship between safety
behavior and safety performance. The research findings unequivocally underscore the palpable and
consequential impact of safety behavior variables, namely safety compliance and safety participation, on
improving safety performance indicators such as accidents, injuries, and property damages. These results
strongly validate research hypotheses. Consequently, this study highlights the pivotal significance of cultivating
safety behavior among employees, particularly in resource-constrained SME settings, as an essential step toward
enhancing workplace safety performance.

ABSTRACT: Although a significant amount of literature exists on Morocco's migration policies and their
successes and failures since their implementation in 2014, there is limited research on the integration of subSaharan African children into schools. This paperis part of a Ph.D. research project that aims to fill this gap. It
reports the main findings of a study conducted with migrant children enrolled in two public schools in Rabat,
Morocco, exploring how integration is defined by the children themselves and identifying the obstacles that they
have encountered thus far. The following paper uses an inductive approach and primarily focuses on the
relationships of children with their teachers and peers as a key aspect of integration for students with a migration
background. The study has led to several crucial findings. It emphasizes the significance of speaking Colloquial
Moroccan Arabic (Darija) and being part of a community for effective integration. Moreover, it reveals that the
use of Modern Standard Arabic as the language of instruction in schools is a source of frustration for students,
indicating the need for language policy reform. The study underlines the importanceof considering the
children‟s agency when being integrated into mainstream public schools.

1 ABSTRACT
In February and March 2015, Ares 2.0 carried out a research on the behalf of a national trade union
on young people’s working conditions, professional expectations and choices of social participation
and representation in Lombardy. A structured questionnaire was distributed to more than 1.000
young persons living in the region aged 17 to 34 according to the CAWI methodology.
The participants’ identification and recruitment took place on social network, thanks to a promotion
campaign carried out on Facebook, using this social platform’s advertising programme1 developed
for the sale of advertising spaces to targeted and localised users.
The advertising system has been used to identify the survey’s sample, stratified by province,
selecting young people resident in large and small districts and aged 17 to 34 to be reached through
the promotion campaign. This target group was invited to click on the external link directing to the
online survey platform, specifically implemented for this research, and was explicitly asked to fill in
the questionnaire.
In order to ensure a click through and compilation rate useful and economically sustainable, unlike
the main USA models (Ramo et altri 2012), which foresee awarding mechanisms (extraction with
awards for those who completed the questionnaire), Ares 2.0 decided to develop a direct
engagement approach, based on individual motivational aspects. The action (click and fill in the
questionnaire) has been stimulated during the survey promotional campaign through an explicit
reference to territorial identity, considered as the qualifying and distinguishing characteristic
explaining the project’s interest in knowing the interviewee’s point of view.
Thanks to the recruitment and engagement methodology aimed at maximising the efficiency of the
messages inviting young people to respond to the questionnaire, the respondents’ recruitment
costs have been optimised and the reply and completion rates have improved for each group, with
lower distortions (low reply rates for specific socio-demographic segments or for particular
territorial areas).
The objective was to reach at once both a high number of click per impression – and therefore of
direct access to the questionnaire’s webpage – and the highest possible number of completed
questionnaire for each access to the online survey platform, by respecting the quota fixed by the
sample and stratification plan.
Ares 2.0 experience demonstrated that, thanks to a targeted phase of efficiency test carried out on
the promotional messages, it has been possible to complete the survey on 1.000 young Lombard
people, collecting as many as valid questionnaires with adequate, coherent and complete answers
and respecting the chosen sample territorial stratification. The questionnaire was composed by
more than 20 questions with some complex items as well as multiple-choice questions about work,
social participation, representation and expectations about the future.
The Facebook recruitment and CAWI self-administration campaign carried out over 45 days
between February and March 2015 foresaw 35 online promotion actions, each directed to one
specific Lombard district. The campaign generated 2.3 million impressions, reaching 457 thousand
young people aged 17-34 . On the basis of the impressions, there have been 7.669 clicks of single

users to the survey platform, bringing to a click through rate (CTR) for each young person reached
by the campaign to 1,7%.
The overall cost of the campaign was € 2.281, equal to € 0,99 per 1.000 impressions and to € 5,06
per 1.000 single persons reached, with a cost of about € 0,30 per person/click, while the average
final cost per valid and complete questionnaire was € 2,3, costs have fluctuated between € 1,5 and
€ 3,5 according to the territorial administration decisions, continuously improved on the basis of the
tests carried out.
Conclusions
The result highlights how Facebook, and in general social networks (a useful probing has been
carried out on Twitter as well), are effective and very efficient media in terms of costs and quality
of answers in terms of samples selection and panels of digital natives, youngsters and young adults,
and to conduct surveys and polls on opinions and sentiments in CAWI mode on socio-economic
topics, by using also structured and articulated questionnaires.
This kind of tools, developed for marketing purposes, makes possible the planning and management
of promotional campaigns within the social networks, targeting groups of well identified and located
users, outlined on the basis of structured variables linked to both their social and
personalcharacteristics – such as age, gender, educational qualification, employment status,
municipality of residence, language, citizenships, etc. – and motivational aspects, behaviours or
interests.
By considering the selected population, and comparing with other administration methods such as
face-to-face or telephone, the internet-based survey has demonstrated to be able to reach large
groups of respondents, making it possible also to involve groups with lower incidence or more
difficult to reach, so as to organise a survey territorially representative. The CAWI SOCIAL
methodology made possible a quick and cheap collection of data, with a low bias by considering the
complex topics or the groups more difficult to reach. Age, which represents the most discriminative
factor about the use of Internet and social media, could certainly represent a key factor affecting
the efficiency of the CAWI SOCIAL model in terms of costs for a survey addressing elder population.

2 THE CAWI-SOCIAL RECRUITMENT MODEL
2.1 Introduction: diffusion of the Internet and digital social media use
In the economically advanced countries, the presence of youngsters and young adults on the
Internet regards almost the totality of the population. Therefore, it is possible through digital media
to have access to a field of observation fully encompassing. In some contexts and for the younger
range of the population, Internet users are in fact identical to the reference population.
The recent Istat 2014 survey on ICT technologies and Internet use highlights how the diffusion of
Internet in Italy depends mostly on generation factors, before even socio-cultural or economic
factors.
In 2014 at national level the young persons in the 18-34 age group who had had an access to the
Internet represented more than 87% of the reference population, with an even higher rate for the
younger groups, with a percentage reaching 92,4% for the young people aged 18-24.
Graph.1 Persons over 6 years old use of the Internet in the past 12 months. Numbers for 100 persons with
the same characteristics.

Internet users have access to the various Internet communication means. Official statistics (Eurostat
2014) show that about 76% of the young people aged 16-24 participates in social platforms. For this
reason it is possible to use directly the social media to reach the reference population and to
administrate the questionnaire without loosing representativeness.
When considering Facebook for a territorial survey, it appears that this social platform is largely
representative of the population, in particular for the younger groups. In the case of the Italian

region of Lombardy, according to the data available on the portal the number of accounts belonging
to young people resident in this region aged 17 to 34 amounts to 2.200.000 while residents
registered within this age class, :, were 1.822.000 inhabitants aged between 17 and 34 in Lombardy
on the 1st of January 2014 according to Istat. Even by taking into consideration the phenomenon of
plurality of accounts, these figures make Social Networks as representive of this segment of
population in a European NUTS2 region as Lombardy, which is moreover equivalent, when
considering the level of internet diffusion, to the majority of European regions with an important
use of the Internet and of the social networks.
Similarly, Twitter can also be taken into consideration, even if it does not guarantee the same
representativeness of the population because of the lower number of users and the presence of
more cultivated targets.

2.2 Methodology of the Recruitment campaign through social networks for the survey on
a panel of 1.000 young Lombards
To realise the CAWI survey on 1.000 youngsters and young adults aged 17 to 34 and resident in
Lombardy aiming at investigating their working conditions, professional expectations, as well as
social participation and representation choices, a strategy to recruit interviewees has been launched
through social networks, and in particular on Facebook because of the greater representativeness
of the reference population on this platform.
To achieve the targeted audience , we used Facebook’s Advertising program (Ad). A promotion
campaign has been launched between the 6th of February and the 15th of March 2015 to raise
7. Largo Messico 7
00198 Roma
aresduezero@gmail.com
www.aresduezero.it
P.Iva e C.F. 10877331008
interest in participating in the survey, inviting young people (call to action) to click on the CAWI
platform’s link and to fill in the questionnaire on “work and the future of young people”.
This kind of tools, created to manage advertisements on social platforms, allows to plan and manage
promotional campaigns inside the social networks, targeting these campaigns towards well-defined
and located users. It is in fact possible to target groups of users according both to geographic
variables, up to the municipality level, and to socio-personal structural variables – age, gender,
educational qualification, occupational status, municipality of residence, language, citizenship, etc.
– but also to select these targets according to their specific interests or conditions so as to obtain
an even more precise segmentation, for example based on their socio-cultural profile or on their
motivations and behaviours or interests.
The advertising system has therefore been used to promote and stimulate the participation in the
online survey of young Lombards aged 17 to 34, identified according to a multi-level stratified
sample design elaborated on a geographical basis.
In the elaboration of the panel, considering that the survey age target, independently of their social
and working conditions, particular filter criteria or keywords to segment the population further
besides the age and the location (municipality of residence) have not been considered as necessary.
For this reason we did not introduce further strata (such as gender, age group, employment status,
qualification, etc.) with resepct to province and urban centers’ size, which led to the identification
of 35 sampling groups.
The possibility to intercept a well-defined target enabled, however, the realisation of a specific
intervention to maximise the efficiency of the messages inviting young people to respond to the
questionnaire, hence optimising the respondents’ recruitment costs and obtaining the best reply
rates for each group, reducing as much as possible distortions (low click through rates for specific
territories).
The recruitment strategy was therefore based on a targeted promotion and advertising strategy to
obtain a high click through and large numbers of completely filled-in questionnaires respecting the
sampling and stratification plan percentages.
For this reason it was very important to optimise the survey’s promotional message, which,
according to Facebook guidelines, had to be a banner with a title and payoff texts.
To maximise the banner’s efficiency, tests to validate the messages’ iconographic content have been
carried out, using A/B testing and split testing using the following variables: impressions, clicks
through and final results regarding the questionnaires’ compilation. The objective was to identify
the best results with respect to the specific call to action for each specific sample segment.
After having identified the banners best able to maximise the messages’ efficiency in terms of their
capacity to call for action (click through to access the survey), the work has been focused on the
optimisation of the promotional messages in relation with the effective questionnaire filling rate,
limiting as much as possible the drop-out rate in the survey compilation.
Previous experiences (Ares 2.02 2013 and Ramo 2012) demonstrated that the most clicked message
do not necessarily correspond to a better final answer (compilation) per impression rate.

The experimental method adopted by Ares 2.0 in this occasion to guarantee not only numerous click
through but also higher restitution rates consisted in linking the message with the specific target, in
order to increase the respondents’ engagement, working in particular on individual motivational
aspects.
Unlike the large-scale survey experiences carried out in the USA (Ramo et altri 2012), which have
foreseen awarding mechanisms (extraction with awards for those who completed the
questionnaire), Ares 2.0 decided to call the action (click and fill in the questionnaire) with a more
emotional and direct engagement of the interviewees, obtained through an explicit reference in the
message to the respondents’ territorial identity, considered as the element explaining the request
made to them to express their opinions in the questionnaire. This engagement method has been
possible because, thanks to the advertising tools of the social platforms themselves, messages can
be personalised at territorial level, reaching specifically and exclusively the micro-target of
respondents resident in this specific territory invited to participate in the survey.
In particular, the following process has been followed to develop a useful engagement process and
to reduce costs:
First, considering the formal requirements dictated by Facebook and indicated in the Advertising
Guidelines, various typologies of banners have been elaborated, with prevailing iconographic
content and a short text inside (80% of image), matched with a title and a pay off on the survey,
together with a button calling to the action of clicking on the link to the CAWI platform.
7 advertising tests have been realised preliminary to check the best click and full compilation rates
on the CAWI platform in relation to the various banners and contents.
The test has been carried out following the split testing model, testing different banners and various
alternatives of the one considered as the graphically most valid, to control the best results regarding
the specific call to action (click on the banner to access the questionnaire’s page and then fully
complete it). Hereafter are presented some of the banners used, together with their titles and pay
off, as well as indications about their performance in terms of reply to the specific action (click on
the CAWI platform).

After having identified the most efficient graphical model in terms of its capacity to call to action
(click on the banner), we examinated the questionnaire compilation rates . They amounted to 4%
for each click on the survey for banner 2, 3 and 4, and to less than 4% for banner 1. It looked
therefore necessary to check the possibility to improve the respondents’ engagement process or to
obtain more complete answers.
Previous analysis and researches of Ares 2.03 showed that further the content of the campaign from
the requested action and from the respondent’s personal situation, lower the compilation rate for
each access to the platform (no matter the click through).
The objective was therefore to stimulate the compilation of the questionnaire working on
motivational aspects in order to bring the respondent closer to the survey. We decided to link the
interest to the territorial belonging and proximity with the questionnaire.
The survey administration has been tested on targets concentrated at territorial level with a
promotion referring explicitly to the action for each respondent reached by the message (click and
fill in the questionnaire), having taken in consideration precisely his/her belonging to a specific
territory, condition considered as relevant for the survey itself (the survey has been presented as a
specific territorial part of a larger regional survey).
This mechanism has given a central role to the respondent invited to participate in the survey who
was asked to express his/her opinion not because of a general status (to be young), but because in
an excusive situation: please express yourself as a young person resident in this specific
municipality/territory.
The tests have been made with a message and sample targeted first at regional level (all Lombardy),
then in the provincial suburbs of the county towns Milan and Brescia, and finally in specific
municipalities.
Two variables A/B tests have been carried out on banners and contents to establish different
administration, identification and engagement settings, in order to identify the best modalities to
engage the public and promote participation in the survey.
The new banners and campaigns with the best results in terms of cost per completed questionnaire
are those which, in the specific geographic characterisation of the message, were addressed to
young people belonging to medium-sized urban centres close to metropolitan cities.
The first test was geographically referred to a centre of smaller dimension, Desenzano del Garda,
and engaged a target resident within a radius of 20km around this town. The test provided a first
clear sign of a greater inclination to action, indicating those campaigns on geographically targeted
groups have a higher capacity to attract respondents and motivate them to fill in the questionnaire.

19,000 out of 62.000 accounts belonging, according to Facebook, to young people between 17 and
34 years old and resident within a radius of 20Km from Desenzano sul Garda, have been reached,
referring to about 15.000 different users. With a compilation rate per click on the platform of 8,2%,
the cost per questionnaire was EUR 2,05.
During the following tests carried out on territories even more specific, for example in Legnano
district, where we decided to reach only young people resident within the municipality, the number
of questionnaires filled in amounted to 35 out of the 251 accesses to the CAWI platform, with a
compilation rate much higher - reaching 13,9% - but with a cost per completed questionnaire of EUR
2,11. This last data is linked to the greatest difficulty to obtain a positive initial click through rate.
Finally, tests realised on the major centres sited in the metropolitan cities’ hinterland obtained reply
and compilation rates even higher, with average costs largely under EUR 1,5 per questionnaire with
minimum peaks, such as in Lissone where it dropped to EUR 1,1 per completed questionnaire.
Overall the results measured in terms of click through and complete questionnaire compilation rate
demonstrated that the most efficient engagement campaigns (with rates respectively between 1,5%
and 2% and between 13% and 23%) were those addressed to panels of young people resident in
urban centres of medium dimensions (between 30 and 70 thousands of inhabitants) sited in
metropolitan areas’ hinterland.
Among young people residing in urban centres of larger dimensions or belonging to the periphery
of minor country towns the click through rates were lower, with values between 0,7% and 1,4% and
compilation rates between 7% and 10%, numbers that have allowed in any case to administer
efficiently the questionnaire.
Along the 45 days campaign, the online advertising obtained 2.318.061 impressions, reaching
457.625 persons and getting 7.669 clicks to the survey from different persons (for an overall of 9.100
total clicks), with a cost of EUR 2.281. The average cost per click on the online message was 0,23
cents, while the cost per click of single user is 0,30 cents.

2.3 Quality and coherence of the survey’s results
Once the survey closed, thanks to the analysis and data cleaning phase, 1.018 questionnaires were
considered as valid (17 more than those considered as closed by the platform). These questionnaires
were filled in full but the respondent didn’t give the order to close and send. All 1.018 answered to
sections4 A, B, C and D, 1.009 answered to section E and 920 to section F. It is a physiological drop
for this kind of analysis, considering the length of the questionnaire.
Sample composition:
The self-selected sample looks quite balanced when compared with statistical sources on socio-
personal structural variables, considering that besides the decision to maintain a geographical
representativeness at provincial level and the age group limit, no other stratification restriction was
imposed.
The sample shows a slight over-representation of the female population. The average age is 24,8,
with a balanced repartition among the age groups, even if an over-representation of persons
between 20 and 22 years old and a slight under-representation of persons over 30 years old can be
observed.

Tot. 31,5% 21,2% 46,4% 1% 1001
The answers and survey’s quality is demonstrated by the data regarding the percentage of working
respondents, equal to 18,8%, data consistent with the Istat data (20,4%) for the population aged
20-24, while the situation changes for the next age group. In particular, official data present an
employment rate reaching 75,2% while in the sample the data is equal to 48,4%, even if in Ares 2.0
survey the collection of information about the employment status didn’t adopt objective criteria as
it is done by Istat but was based on the respondents’ self-perception.
Here again the self-selection of the sample has probably led, in regards to the composition per
employment status, to an over-representation of unemployed persons and students who can,
maybe, spend more time on social platforms.
For the promotion of the survey, afternoon and evening hours have been chosen to give all the
segments involved in the labour market the possibility to intercept and fill in the questionnaire. The
under-representation of young people above 30 years old reflects also not only their lower use of
social media in comparison with other young adults, but also their minor free time linked to a higher
employment rate.
