Scuba diving is a popular activity in small island destinations which is on the rise. However, it is particularly important to preserve the physical environment for small island developing states due to their unique biodiversity and fragile ecosystems. Scuba diving tourism in island destinations is provided mainly by dive operators who are responsible to deliver the scuba diving experience to tourists. However, despite the importance of sustainability for the tourism industry, it is unclear to which extent the marine environment or green issues are important for consumers. Studies are increasingly suggesting that sustainability is an important feature considered by consumers. However, information is sparse regarding the extent to which sustainability is a key component for customers when evaluating the scuba diving experience. In this study, 3109 text reviews from the Trip Advisor website across all 57 listed diving operators in Mauritius were selected for data analysis. Th e present study uses Leximancer, a text analysis software that conducts unsupervised analysis of natural language texts provided in an electronic format.The Gaze: Journal of Tourism and Hospitality Vol.9 2018 p.43-52

Abstract I model a critical posthumanist pedagogy that uses text analysis software and is aimed at higher education students. A key purpose of the pedagogy is to help students enhance empathetic, critical and independent thinking. For their project assignment, the student chooses an unfamiliar campaign seeking to eliminate suffering and extend rights. They gather all texts from the campaign website into a corpus, which thus represents the campaign writ large. Then they use appropriate software to ascertain, efficiently and rigorously, common campaign concerns across this corpus. This puts students in a position to discern any significant concerns in the campaign corpus that are not addressed in text(s) supporting the status quo which the campaign opposes. Should significant omissions be found, students critically evaluate the status quo text(s) from the campaign’s perspective. Since this perspective derives from the student identifying (at least temporarily) with software generated data, it is a posthuman subjectivity. Engaging digitally and empathetically with a campaign’s data at scale for creation of a posthuman subjectivity can broaden awareness of disadvantage, discrimination, and suffering as well as expand horizons. Moreover, at the end of the assignment, the student is expected to formulate their own position vis-à-vis the previously unfamiliar campaign. Conditions have been created then for the student to enhance independent thinking too.

Topic models are very popular methods of text analysis. The most popular algorithm for topic modelling is LDA (Latent Dirichlet Allocation). Recently, many new methods were proposed, that enable the usage of this model in large scale processing. One of the problem is, that a data scientist has to choose the number of topics manually. This step, requires some previous analysis. A few methods were proposed to automatize this step, but none of them works very well if LDA is used as a preprocessing for further classification. In this paper, we propose an ensemble approach which allows us to use more than one model at prediction phase, at the same time, reducing the need of finding a single best number of topics. We have also analyzed a few methods of estimating topic number.

RESUMO: O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar as representações sociais da aposentadoria para professores que trabalham em duas universidades federais do nordeste brasileiro. Foram realizadas vinte entrevistas narrativas, pareadas por sexo e instituição, com professores universitários que possuíam 50 anos ou mais de idade. As entrevistas transcritas foram analisadas com auxílio de software de análise textual, do tipo lexicográfica. Os resultados indicaram a composição de seis classes textuais e as representações sociais mais fortes se referiam à aposentadoria como nova etapa de vida, retorno à família, envelhecimento, viagens e lazer. Para os entrevistados, as representações sociais da aposentadoria foram positivas, no entanto, a perspectiva de um trabalho satisfatório, somado ao medo em relação às mudanças previdenciárias e a própria vida, reforçam a intenção de adiar a aposentadoria. Não houve diferenças significativas entre instituições, o que demonstra certa homogeneidade das representações para esse grupo profissional.Palavras-chaves: aposentadoria; professores; representação social; universidade federal.ABSTRACT: This study aimed to analyze social representations of retirement among professors that work at two federal universities in northeastern Brazil. Twenty narrative interviews were carried out, paired by gender and institution, with university professors aged 50 and above. The transcribed interviews were analyzed with the aid of lexicographical text analysis software. The results indicated six text categories and the strongest social representations referred to retirement as a new phase in life, a return to family, aging, travel and leisure. For the interviewees, the social representations of retirement were positive, however, the prospect of a satisfactory job, added to the fear in relation to social security changes and life itself, reinforce the intention to postpone retirement. There were no significant differences between institutions, which demonstrates a certain homogeneity in representations among this professional group.Keywords: retirement; professors; social representation; federal university.

Resumo Este artigo se propõe a ampliar a metodologia perspectivista (MALINI, 2016) de análise de redes sociais, incorporando um procedimento de análise dos sentimentos das mensagens postadas em redes de controvérsias políticas, em particular, em dois momentos distintos da campanha pelo impeachment da presidenta Dilma. O primeiro é o período da eclosão das manifestações antipetistas, no dia 15 de março de 2015. O segundo, dia 27 de agosto de 2016, quando a presidenta é deposta do cargo. Realiza uma revisão sobre a análise de sentimentos em megadados do Twitter e constrói uma metodologia que combina classificação humana de textos com aplicação de algoritmos genéticos de análise de textos, no intuito de analisar sentimentos genéricos (baseado na polarização positivo/negativos) e sentimento específicos, baseados nas seguintes emoções: Alegria, Raiva, Medo, Antecipação, Desgosto, Tristeza, Surpresa e Confiança. Conclui demonstrando que os movimentos pró e anti-Dilma são marcados pelo predomínio de sentimento de raiva, medo e ansiedade, confirmando a hipótese que a trolagem ofensiva demarca o estilo da indignação propagada em redes políticas no Twitter brasileiro.  Palavras-Chave: Análise de Sentimento; Big Data; Redes; Política; Twitter.Abstract This article aims to expand the perspectivist methodology (Malini, 2016) of social networks analysis, incorporating a proceeding of sentiment analysis of the messages posted in networks of political controversies, in particular, in two distinct moments of the campaign for the impeachment of President Dilma. The first is the period of the outbreak of PT protests, on March 15, 2015. The second, on August 27, 2016, when the president is deposed. We will be doing a theoretical review about sentiment analysis in Big Data on Twitter to build a methodology that combines human classification of texts with the application of genetic algorithms of text analysis and to analyze generic sentiments (based on positive / negative polarization) and specific sentiment, based on emotions like Joy, Anger, Fear, Anticipation, Disgust, Sadness, Surprise and Trust. It concludes by demonstrating that pro and anti-Dilma movements are marked by a predominance of anger, fear and anxiety, confirming the hypothesis that an offensive trolling demarcates the style of indignation propagated by political networks in Brazilian Twitter.Keywords: Sentiment Analysis; Big Data; Social Network; Politics; Twitter.

Now-a-days, it is very common that the customers share their thoughts about any product, brand and their experience in social media. The analysts collect these reviews and process it, to extract meaningful information about the product. The beauty of social media is, it’s involved in all the domains. So the analysts got reviews from different social media and platforms for almost all kind of thing. The Sentiment Analysis is applied to predict outcomes for getting useful information, for ex.; like predict the blockbuster for a movie, rating for any new launches and many more. This type of prediction is really helpful for the customer to buy any goods or take any services in this competitive world. This paper is focused on e-commerce website reviews which are normally in text form with some special characters and some symbols (emojis). Each word in this text set got some meaning in terms of context, emotion and prior experience. These characteristics contribute to some of the features of text data for prediction. The objective of this paper is to compile existing research works on text analysis and emotion based analysis. The open issues and challenges of document based sentiment analysis are also discussed. The paper concluded with proposing a new approach of multi class classification. Ternary classification for classes positive, negative and neutral is suggested primarily for product based text and emoji reviews on Twitter social media.
