Abstract:
Motivated by Google, Yahoo!, Microsoft, and Facebook, hundreds of thousands of websites have started to annotate structured data within their pages using markup formats such as Microdata, RDFa, and Microformats. In parallel, the adoption of Linked Data technologies by government agencies, libraries, and scientific institutions has risen considerably. In his talk, Christian Bizer will give an overview of the content profile of the resulting Web of Data. He will showcase applications that exploit the Web of Data and will discuss the challenges of integrating and cleansing data from thousands of independent Web data sources.

Slides from my lecture in a Marketing Management course at Linköping University (2nd year students). The course-book was Kotler's Principles of Marketing so I covered the concepts defined in the chapter. Basic facts on qualitative and quantitative research methods were presented: interviews, surveys, ethnography and netnography, case studies, focus groups, and experiments. I also discussed how the Internet and social media have improved the quantity and quality of data available on customer behavior.
Pre-Suasion: A Revolutionary Way to Influence and PersuadeHugo Guyader
Slides from the "Advanced Consumer Marketing" course at Linköping University, Sweden.
Robert Cialdini wrote "Pre-Suasion" this 2016. I have already used his previous book "Influence" in a Marketing course on Consumer Behavior for Master's students (http://www.slideshare.net/guyaderhugo/influence-54642692), and this is a series of slides on his new book.
This concept of Pre-Suasion is to create opportunities to persuade. By introducing a sympathetic a concept or idea, before recipients encounter the actual message, in that created Privileged Moment, they already associate positively what comes next.

The Challenges of Good Governance and Project Implementation in Nigeria: A Re...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT : This study reveals that systemic corruption and other factors including poor leadership,
leadership recruitment processes, ethnic and regional politics, tribalism and mediocrity, poor planning, and
variation of project design have been the causative factors that undermine projects implementation in postindependence African states, particularly in Nigeria. The study, thus, argued that successive governments of
African states, using Nigeria as a case study, have been deeply engrossed in this obnoxious practice that has
undermined infrastructure sector development as well as enthroned impoverishment and mass poverty in these
African countries. This study, therefore, is posed to examine the similarities in causative factors, effects and
consequences of corruption and how it affects governance, projects implementation and national growth. To
achieve this, the study adopted historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. The
study among others suggests that the governments of developing countries should shun corruption and other
forms of obnoxious practices in order to operate effective and efficient systems that promote good governance
and ensure there is adequate projects implementation which are the attributes of a responsible government and
good leadership. Policy makers should also prioritize policy objectives and competence to ensure that policies
are fully implemented within stipulated time frame.
KEYWORDS: Developing Countries, Nigeria, Government, Project Implementation, Project Failure
Exploring Factors Affecting the Success of TVET-Industry Partnership: A Case ...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to explore factors affecting the success of TVET-industry
partnerships. A case study design of the qualitative research method was used to achieve this objective. For the
study, one polytechnic college of Oromia regional state, and two industries were purposively selected. From the
sample polytechnic college and industries, a total of 17 sample respondents were selected. Out of 17
respondents, 10 respondents were selected using the snowball sampling method, and the rest 7 respondents were
selected using the purposive sampling technique. The qualitative data were collected through an in-depth
interview and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic approaches. The findings revealed that
TVET-industry partnerships were found weak. Lack of key stakeholder‟s awareness shortage of improved
training equipment and machines in polytechnic colleges, absence of trainee health insurance policy, lack of
incentive mechanisms for private industries, lack of employer industries involvement in designing and
developing occupational standards, and preparation of curriculum were some of the impediments of TVETindustry partnership. Based on the findings it was recommended that the Oromia TVET bureau in collaboration
with other relevant concerned regional authorities and TVET colleges, set new strategies for creating strong
awareness for industries, companies, and other relevant stakeholders on the purpose and advantages of
implementing successful TVET-industry partnership. Finally, the Oromia regional government in collaboration
with the TVET bureau needs to create policy-supported incentive strategies such as giving occasional privileges
of duty-free import, tax reduction, and regional government recognition awards based on the level of partnership
contribution to TVET institutions in promoting TVET-industry partnership.
KEY WORDS: employability skills, industries, and partnership
Non-Financial Information and Firm Risk Non-Financial Information and Firm RiskAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This research aims to examine how ESG disclosure and risk disclosure affect the total risk of
companies. Using cross section data from 355 companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange, data regarding
ESG disclosure and risk was collected. In this research, ESG and risk disclosures are measured based on content
analysis using GRI 4 guidelines for ESG disclosures and COSO ERM for risk disclosures. Using multiple
regression, it is concluded that only risk disclosure can reduce the company's total risk, while ESG disclosure
cannot affect the company's total risk. This shows that only risk disclosure is relevant in determining a
company's total risk.
KEYWORDS: ESG disclosure, risk disclosure, firm risk

“To be integrated is to feel secure, to feel connected.” The views and experi...AJHSSR Journal
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.

3. New Academic Environment
Past: Academics would focus on
their research, put out ideas and
results and then see what happens.
Present & Future: Academics now
have to carefully plan projects and
actively influence citations of their
good work.
Gruber (2014)
4. Altmetrics
• Alternative to traditional metrics.
• Policy documents / reports cited,
but not on academic databases.
• Traceability of mentions.
8. Reasons for Using
Social Media
• Research-relevant
discussions
• Industry interactions
• Networking &
Collaboration
• Self-promotion &
Citations
• Metrics
• Find “grey” literature
• Help, Support &
Feedback
• “It gets you writing”
• Fun!
9. The 4 Cs
➡ Curation
-> bookmarking = collecting, archiving and maintaining digital information and
sources for use in your research (later). Examples of sources include blog
posts, online journal articles, and posts on twitter.
➡ Conversation
-> connect to other researchers and wider audiences. Blogging, networking
sites and Twitter are ways of sharing your thoughts and research results as well
as finding the right people to converse with.
➡ Collaboration
-> working with others is more flexible: notes, files, literature and bookmarks
from any computer or mobile device.
➡ Communication
-> professional networking: LinkedIn

14. Social Media Strategy
On the one hand, social media lends
itself to exploration and experimentation.
On the other hand, there is a danger of
being too scattergun.
✓ For whom are you writing?
✓ Why are you writing?
✓ How do you want to present yourself?
✓ What do you not want to show about yourself online?
(e.g. restrictions on who can access your pages)
Haynes (2012)
18. Twitter & Academia
1. Approximately 2,000 journal articles and 3,000 conference papers
have been written about Twitter (Fry, 2014).
2. Nearly 90% of academics on Twitter use it for their work (Lupton, 2014).
3. Academic tweets are approximately 9 times more likely to be
retweeted than other tweets (Holmberg and Thewall, 2014).
4. In 2012, only one in 40 scholars was active on Twitter (Priem et. al 2012).
5. There are no significant differences in how much time is spent on
Twitter by amongst academics from different age groups (Holmberg and
Thewall, 2014).
6. The largest proportion of academics on Twitter are early career
academics (Lupton, 2014).
Gross (2014).
19. Can Tweets
Predict Citations?

Twitter activity about a publication
leads to increased distribution and
can lead to an increase in citations.
Up to 11 times more citations.

20. Quick answers to questions on things like .. where do I find this tool or that tool .. @rjhogue
There are people who are practicing what I’m researching academically and give me a reality check. @Annlytical
We trade references for research @Annlytical
Twitter is brilliant for keeping up with things, networking, finding new ideas, people’s blogs and publications @BenGuilbaud
meeting new people (in all disciplines), academic support, public engagement, increased visibility, filtered news @Martin_Eve
I’ve found Twitter useful for augmenting F2F academic conferences, extending the conversations @JessieNYC
Twitter’s unique advantage is that very quickly allows me to spread word of my work to non-academic audiences @elebelfiore
Keeps me up-to-the-minute with news in my field ie; policy issues, and connects me to conferences/other academics @DonnaBramwell
connects me to other delegates at conferences, allows me to interact with students in lectures, keeps me uptodate @timpaa
great source of information & resources wouldn’t have found otherwise @nicklebygirl
a PhD can be very isolated so I think twitter is a great way to meet people who can help and give advice @CET47
you can get very interesting literature advices or other sources you have not noticed yet @Journey210
shameless self-promotion…! @KatieMcGettigan
to invite community members to events and lectures on campus @MegFrauts
twitter is the best way to keep up to date with my subject, find useful resources and connect with others @LGSMU
follow conferences globally and get in touch with other academics for quick Q&A sessions @Greg0rE
joining twitter has helped remove the isolation of study through engagement with #phdchat – synch & asynchronous @JaneDavis13
twitter allows me to familiarize w current trends & edu tools for my students (tumblr & prezi are examples) @DisModern
keeps you in touch w development in your field n wider @lace675468
“Why do you find Twitter
useful as an academic?”
Cardigan (2012)
24. 3 tweeting styles:
• Informational: links to articles, blogposts,
announcements, and funding sources that might be of
interest to others. Usually with a bit of explanation or
commentary.
• Interactive: engage the Twitter community, usually by
posing a question or topic of discussion or responding to
something someone else has posted. Such exchanges
lead to simple advices, or philosophical conversations.
• Personal: a window into your life. Probably an entirely
worthless activity, at least professionally; but it does
provide personal connections and a sense of community.
DIY Ivory Tower (2012)
25. 1. Put up an avatar. It doesn't
really matter what the picture is,
but the "egg picture" (the
default avatar for new accounts)
makes you look like a spammer.
2. Don't pick a Twitter name that
is difficult to spell or remember.
3. Tweet regularly.
4. Don't ignore people who
tweet at you. Set Twitter to send
you an e-mail notification when
you get a mention or a private
message. If you don't do that,
then check your account
frequently.
5. Engage in conversation.
Don't just drop in to post your
own update and disappear.
Twitter is not a "broadcast-only"
mechanism; it's CB radio.
6. Learn the hashtags for your

10 Commandments:
Gulliver (2012)
32. Founded by Richard Price in 2007
‣ "With networks like Twitter and Facebook, information
whizzes around at laser speed, whereas in science, and
research in general, the average time lag is a year before
a paper gets in a journal and is distributed to the rest of
the world.”
‣ "When you read a paper and want to comment, you'll be
able to respond immediately. The conversation will take
minutes and hours instead of months and years.”

45. Blogging
• Content!
1. Blog name = what you plan to blog about: specific
area/theme, made-up name or your own name.
2. Platform:
❖ already existing blog: university, a research
group, community, alumni, etc.
❖ start your own blog (multi-author?):
❖ on wordpress, blogspot, blogger, tumblr
(e.g, hugoguyader.tumblr.com)
- limit to how far you can customize
- limited amount of themes you can use
❖ purchase your own website name and
hosting (e.g. jonengstrom.com)

52. “Blogging is quite simply, one of
the most important things that an
academic should be doing right now”.
• Make sure your titles tell a story, and your
findings are communicated early on.
• Remember the Web is a network, post your
links to Twitter and Facebook. Let people
subscribe by RSS or email.
• Talk to your readers. Encourage people to
comment. Respond on Twitter and Facebook.
And be reciprocal, open-minded and fair in
sharing your content with others and linking to
their work.

One of our highest aims is to
bring academia online, and in
turn, broaden access to the
social sciences. Audio is integral
to this process. By giving
narrative to the full breadth of
academic research, we hope to
stretch the understanding and
impact of research beyond the
confines of universities.
