Abstract Background: With the vigorous development of social media networks, an increasing number of orthopedists in China are taking part in case discussions using WeChat groups. The case discussion process using WeChat is quick, convenient and not limited by time or space, but this kind of case discussion is also chaotic and unconstrained. This study is aimed to observe and analyze the purpose, participation, case completeness, opinion consistency of orthopedic case discussions using WeChat groups.Methods: We collected data related to the case discussions of three orthopedic surgeons by taking screenshots of the chat records in the most-used WeChat groups from June to August 2019, and analyzed the purpose, participation, completeness and the opinion consistency between the majority of members and experts in related fields.Results: The common purposes of orthopedic case discussions were showing surgical results and obtaining treatment advice. The number of likes received for cases showing surgical results was significantly higher than those for cases requesting diagnostic advice and obtaining treatment advice. The complete and relatively complete cases attracted more participants and received more effective comments than the incomplete cases. The opinion consistency rate of the complete cases was higher than that of the relatively complete and incomplete cases.Conclusions: The case discussions using WeChat groups among orthopedists was mainly to show surgical results and request for diagnostic advice. Incomplete cases had low discussion participation and low opinion consistency. Online discussions using WeChat groups should be standardized with respect to the completeness of cases.

Abstract Background : At present, more and more clinicians in China are partaking in case discussions using WeChat groups for the purposes of communication, diagnosis, treatment planning, and information sharing. However, the reliability of discussions using WeChat groups remains debatable. This study aimed to analyze case discussions in WeChat groups and evaluate their significance. Methods : By taking screenshots of the chat records from the most-used WeChat groups by orthopedic surgeons, all of the data related to the cases were collected from June to August in 2019. We analyzed the purpose, participation, and completeness of each case. Furthermore, we analyzed whether the conclusion reached in each case discussion, which was supported by the majority of members, was consistent with the opinion of three experts after evaluating all of the data from the case records. Results : Seven WeChat groups and 60 cases were included. WeChat group members often discussed cases to show surgical results (40.0%), to obtain treatment advice (39.0%), and to seek diagnostic advice (9%). The rate of ‘likes’ for ‘surgical results show’ was greater than the rate of ‘likes’ for alternative purposes (P<0.05). The percentage of complete, relatively complete and incomplete cases was 23%, 32%, and 45%, respectively. The relatively complete cases received more effective comments than the other cases (P<0.05). The cases for diagnostic purposes were more complete than those for other purposes (P<0.05). Among 60 cases, only 29 cases led to the same conclusions being reached among the three experts and WeChat group members. The consistency rate of conclusions relating to treatment was higher than that associated with the other purposes (P<0.05). The consistency rate of the complete cases was higher than that of the relatively complete and incomplete cases (P<0.05). Conclusions : Clinicians should treat discussions in WeChat groups for clinical decision-making with caution. Online discussions using WeChat groups should be standardized in respect to the cases presented and the comments that are generated.

Conflict in online discussions has the potential to polarise individuals’ perceptions of any online political related post, yet political communication scholarship has paid little attention to systematic study of how verbal attacks play out in online discussions of political related posts. This paper takes a critical look at some samples of online readers’ comments to the news post issued by the European Union condemning the rise of political-related violence in Tanzania on the Tanzania based online platform−JamiiForums−in order to see how language is used by individuals to express their view points and opinions on the news event. This study applies van Dijk’s (2006) socio-cognitive approach of positive-self and negative-other polarisation in the readers’ comments on the news event.

The Revolution

This paper examines the role of the online social networks, especially Facebook, during the Egyptian revolution in January 2011. Analysis of a sample of pages shows how these networks helped people exchange information before, during and after the 18 days revolution which ended the reign of former president - Hosni Mubarak. The study analyzes how online discussions and media coverage before the revolution enabled citizens to communicate with each other and share content online, and eventually move their revolutionary ideas from the virtual world to the streets of Egypt. Analysis shows that during the revolution, social media functioned as a political organizer, an alternative media, and a medium for citizen journalism. The study reveals that social media created an alternative public sphere for Egyptian activists, thus helping them communicate their ideas with the general public without restraints. In addition, social networks provided people with the opportunity and the freedom to discuss their country’s situation at all levels. Success of the revolution shows the important role social media plays as a means of information sharing. The study concludes that using social media networks helped the Egyptian revolution and had significant impact on the democratic transition in Egypt.

Willingness To Disclose

The youth constitutes the largest user base of social media networks. While this generation has grown up in a digitally immersed environment, they are still not immune to the dangers the online space bears. Hence, maintaining their privacy is paramount. The present article presents a theoretical contribution, that is based on a review of relevant articles. It sets out to investigate the importance adolescents attribute to online privacy, which is likely to influence their willingness to disclose data. In line with a “new privacy paradox”, information disclosure is seen as unavoidable, given the centrality of social networks to adolescents’ lives. This goes hand in hand with individual privacy management. As individuals often lack knowledge as to how to protect their privacy, it is essential to educate the youth about their possibilities, equipping them with agency and self-responsibilization. This corresponds with a teen-centric approach to privacy as proposed by the TOSS framework.
