The Networked Cultural Diffusion of Kpop on YouTubeWeiai Wayne Xu
This document summarizes a study that used webometric analysis to examine the network diffusion of the Kpop song "Gangnam Style" on YouTube. The study analyzed over 1,000 comments to understand the actors involved, their networks and interactions, and sentiments expressed. Key findings include that the majority of commenters were young males from North America and Europe. Interactions occurred among a small group of highly engaged users, while most only subscribed. Commenters discussed Korean culture and media. Users from cultures more similar to Korean culture expressed more positive sentiments toward the song. The study provides a webometric approach for understanding cultural diffusion evaluation stages on YouTube.
This document summarizes the results of a poll survey conducted by Genron-NPO in Japan on public opinions regarding the future challenges in Northeast Asia. Over 1,000 respondents were polled in each of China, Japan, South Korea, and the US between April and September 2015. The poll aimed to understand public perceptions of each country's economic influence, cultural exchange, political/diplomatic relations, and territorial disputes. It also examined the role of public opinion and elite leaders in shaping foreign policies in the region. The analysis found that China's growing economic impact is a major factor, and that China is viewed with some skepticism regarding its assertiveness in international affairs and moral approach to conflict resolution.

Framing the Challenges Associated with Determining Effectiveness of Behavioral Programs Presentations
This document analyzes social media data from Korea's 2012 presidential election to understand campaign dynamics. It collected data on mentions of the three major candidates from Facebook, Twitter, and Google on several dates. Results show Twitter generated the most negative entropy, followed by Facebook, indicating it was the most open communication system. The liberal candidates saw higher entropy on social media than the conservative candidate. The study suggests conventional theories may be limited and online data provides better insights into election campaigns.

This document outlines a study examining the web ecology of the 2010 regional elections in South Korea. It defines web ecology as the inter-relationship among websites through human internet use. The study observes how diverse information behaviors integrate and change during the campaign period. It asks whether web ecology can provide insight into people's information behaviors during elections and whether different positions (e.g. mayor vs. educational superintendent) impact the dynamic web ecology structure. The methods analyze hyperlinking and name mentions across blogs, news, and Twitter. Results show differences in information flows between mayoral and superintendent elections over time. Discussion focuses on how web ecologies influence and are influenced by each other and surrounding information environments.
The document summarizes Keiko Ono's academic and professional background, focusing on her areas of study in political science and data science.

A webometric analysis of kpop in hispanic countriesXanat V. Meza
This study analyzed the diffusion of K-pop music in Spanish-speaking countries via Twitter. Data was collected on tweets containing the hashtag "kpop" from 19 countries. Network analysis identified highly connected influencers, mainly from media organizations in Mexico, Colombia, Peru and Venezuela. Qualitative analysis of comments found general discussion of Korean songs, artists and hashtags. The results suggest K-pop is gaining popularity through dance-focused collective fan activities promoted by public media in Hispanic countries. Further research on K-pop in Chile and Panama was recommended.

Exploring the Social Dynamics in the U.S. Democracy: Presidential and Public ...Qingjiang (Q. J.) Yao
This study explores the dynamics among media, public opinion, and presidents regarding environmental issues in the U.S. over several decades. The study finds reciprocal influences among these groups in shaping the environmental discourse. It finds that presidential agenda influences media agenda, and public agenda influences public attitudes. However, the relationships are complex rather than linear. The study also finds that changes in media and public agendas influence attitudes more than the reverse. This suggests media effects should be analyzed at different levels of impact.
This study examines online political citizens (OPCs), who are highly engaged with politics online. A survey found that 69% of OPCs are "influentials" who influence friends' opinions. OPCs are more likely than the general public to be younger, male, wealthy, white, and college-educated. They are also more likely to donate to political campaigns, participate in online political activities, and qualify as influentials based on civic participation. The study estimates that OPCs comprise about 7% of the U.S. population and represent a small but influential minority.

The document summarizes a study that examined whether living in an urban versus rural environment impacts minimum hearing levels. A univariate ANOVA was conducted with age, living environment, and gender as factors. There was no significant main effect of living environment or gender on minimum hearing levels. There was a significant main effect of age, with older subjects having higher (worse) minimum hearing levels. A correlational analysis also found a significant positive correlation between age and minimum hearing level. Therefore, the study concluded that living environment does not impact minimum hearing ability based on the results.
This study examined the relationship between the number of Facebook likes for candidates in Italian administrative elections and their actual election results. The study found a moderate positive correlation between Facebook likes and vote share. Several factors were found to influence this relationship, including political party, municipality size, and number of candidates. While Facebook popularity predicted the winner in 18% of races, the most popular candidate on Facebook came in second 43% of the time. The correlation between Facebook likes and election results was higher in municipalities with more candidates having Facebook pages.
This document describes a community-based participatory research (CBPR) project that developed digital animations to disseminate research findings on youth violence to the community. Researchers conducted a mixed-methods study to understand community youth perspectives on assets and stressors. They then worked with community partners and youth to develop animated vignettes portraying evidence-based violence prevention strategies. The process involved community input on dissemination strategies, translating research into vignettes, engaging artists and youth, developing storyboards, and finalizing the animations. The goal was to creatively disseminate findings to both youth and adults in the community in a way that engaged youth and built capacity.
This study compared the Differential Gains Model and Communication Mediation Model in predicting political participation and knowledge. The Communication Mediation Model, which posits that interpersonal communication mediates the effects of mass communication, was more supported. Political discussion was found to better serve as a mediator rather than an interaction term. Fox News uniquely predicted participation and knowledge compared to other media. Online discussion also motivated political engagement. Direct media effects were larger than interactive effects on participation, while media reliance effects were larger than media-interaction effects on participation and knowledge.
Social Media: the good, the bad and the uglyJosh Cowls
1. Social media can facilitate information sharing and communication, aiding disaster relief and public health efforts. However, when information is more mediated, people can be anti-social, offline power dynamics are replicated online, and behavior is difficult to measure accurately.
2. While social media aim to be horizontal, in reality prominent offline figures and media elites still hold sway. Measuring public opinion on social media also faces challenges regarding representativeness and reliability.
3. Those who have access to large social media datasets can use algorithms to potentially influence users or even predict criminal behavior, showing the power of "big data."
Neighbors for Neighbors 2011 network evaluation report marchJoseph Porcelli
The survey of NFN members had a 5.9% response rate with 200 individuals responding. It found that 88% of respondents live in the Boston communities where NFN is active. Most respondents have been involved with NFN for less than 3 years. The majority of respondents use the blog and event features of NFN monthly but make little use of other features like groups and multimedia. Respondents said the areas most needing improvement are the website navigation, moderation of blog comments, and development of underused features like groups.
Employing a public opinion survey and a content analysis of local media, this study sets out to examine of the agenda-setting effect in China. China is highlighted in this study because it is a collectivist, socialist nation whose mainstream media is largely controlled by the state. Data from this study reveal that (a) Chinese people make clear distinctions between issues of personal importance (their personal agenda) and issues of national importance (their social agenda) and (b) the agenda-setting function of Chinese media was only observed when considering one’s social agenda; the personal agenda was not related with the Chinese media agenda. These findings hold true when comparing across different demographic groups on variables such as age, education, news source, and one’s ability to critically analyze news. This article contributes to agenda-setting scholarship by providing empirical evidence of agenda-setting effects in a political and media structure substantially different from the Western structures usually examined in such research.
The document summarizes research on how audiences engage on social media like Twitter while watching television programs. Several studies found that the level of Twitter discussion varies based on the television genre, with talent shows generating comments about judges and contestants, and political shows sparking opinions on issues and guests. The studies also found evidence that viewers' comments on Twitter can influence other viewers' perceptions of singers on talent contests and politicians' speeches. However, the level of Twitter activity did not always correlate directly with a TV program's success. The research provides insights into how social audiences engage with different types of media content and influence each other.

The study analyzed Twitter discussions about the Korean president Myung-Bak Lee between November 2011 and April 2012. It found that liberal Twitter users, such as journalists and media outlets, were more influential opinion leaders and active in the discussions than conservative users. The Twitter network was broken into subgroups with similar political views, with the largest clusters generally expressing liberal perspectives.

It examines agenda setting and the higher trust in traditional vs new media sources.
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

18. Experimental data conclusions:
• Users tend to tweet proportionaly to the quantity of news.
• Users tend to tweet about the news of the same day.
• The relative magnitude of tweeting between candidates/parties is similar to the results
obtained from classical pools (telephone, presential), with less accuracy however.
• The final election results can roughly be estimated by the magnitude of twitting either
from common users or the news media. [Véronis J., 2007] [Tumasjan A. et al, 2010]

21. Model of political debate:
• Media influences agents, agents influence each other.
• Each agent has propensity or aversion ( ) for expressing about certain candidate/
party of +1 or -1 respectively.
• Each agent has a potential of supportiveness and persuasiveness that is the same for
each of its neighbors and that have a Normal probability distribution over the set of
agents.
• Agent i talks about A if the impact on agent i about A is above average in relation to
all the other impacts (about B, C, ...).
• The news media acts as an autonomous agent over a fraction of agents on the
community with zero supportiveness and equal persuasiveness towards its audience.

24. Experimental validation:
• Agent community as real community (1903 users, 46423 links).
• Input stimulus, media twitting , is given to 10% of agents (~190 agents).
• Media twitting is processed as normal inter-agent stimulus processing.
• Average of 20 runs.
• Benchmark:
‣ The cosine similarity between MABS ‘twitting’ and real community tweets.
• Variants:
‣ Network topology (random link rewiring and lattice network)
‣ Media coverage (percentage of media receptors)
‣ Lagged impact (lagged positive or negative aditional social impact)
A. Fonseca, J. Louçã - ECCS 2011
28. ‣ Better similarity (lower degree between multidimentional vectors) on lower
randomizations and on lattice..
‣ There seems to be a worst case at randomization 50% but overall there is no significant
dependency on topology.
‣ Lattice network has a good performance on news reproduction as agents discuss with
lesser agents (avrg degree ~ 4).
‣ Network ‘hub’ tends to impose its opinion over the community [Atay F., 2006].
A. Fonseca, J. Louçã - ECCS 2011
29. ‣ Greater media coverages increase cosine similarity.
‣ Greater dependency on the lattice network.
A. Fonseca, J. Louçã - ECCS 2011
30. ‣ Large influence at 100% (k = 1) delayed impact in Legislatives. Day
after debate? Need validation from content analysis.
‣ Uncharacteristic at Presidentials.

31. Multi-agent model conclusions:
• Cosine similarity between agent expression and real community is high.
• Expression is subject to an internal ‘subjective’ election replicated at community scale.
• Simulation similarity with real tweets not dependent on expression magnitude.
• Good difusion of media information.
• Non uniform influence of delayed impact of discussion.
• Dependence on the network topology.
‣ Hub nodes tend to influence community debates.
‣ Debate on ‘lattice’ tend to replicate know information from media.
‣ Scale-free seems to be most favorable topology for debate influence on overall
community.

32. Future Work:
• To better qualify topology dependance.
• The role of Sij and Pij parameters.
• Examine other stimulus selection mechanism other than ‘greather than average’.
• Content analysis.
