BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to evaluate the information quality of YouTube videos on hallux valgus. METHODS:A YouTube search was performed using the keyword 'hallux valgus' to determine the first 300 videos related to hallux valgus. A total of 54 videos met our inclusion criteria and evaluated for information quality by using DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and hallux valgus information assessment (HAVIA) scores. Number of views, time since the upload date, view rate, number of comments, number of likes, number of dislikes, video power index (VPI) values were calculated to determine video popularity. Video length (sec), video source and video content were also noted. The relation between information quality and these factors were statistically evaluated. RESULTS:The mean DISCERN score was 30.35{plus minus}11.56 (poor quality) (14-64), the mean JAMA score was 2.28{plus minus}0.96 (1-4), and the mean HAVIA score was 3.63{plus minus}2.42 (moderate quality) (0.5-8.5). Although videos uploaded by physicians had higher mean DISCERN, JAMA, and HAVIA scores than videos uploaded by non-physicians, the difference was not statistically significant. Additionally, view rates and VPI values were higher for videos uploaded by health channels, but the difference did not reach statistical significance. A statistically significant positive correlation was found between video length and DISCERN (r= 0.294, p= 0.028), and HAVIA scores (r= 0.326, p= 0.015). CONCLUSIONS:This present study demonstrated that the quality of information available on YouTube videos about hallux valgus was low and insufficient. Videos containing accurate information from reliable sources are needed to educate patients on hallux valgus, especially in less frequently mentioned topics such as postoperative complications and healing period.

Purpose Technological developments such as blockchain seem to be the next step in a digital era and might reshape the way we do business. They are expected to have an impact on both business and society in the next few decades. This paper aims to provide general insights into blockchain technology and the extent to which it might transform the accounting system. Design/methodology/approach Analysing the previous literature, the paper provides a general overview of this phenomenon, identifying pending technical as well as non-technical issues that will have to be addressed for the full potential of blockchain technology to be embraced. The paper also proposes ways in which the information quality dimension might be improved. Findings The paper identifies the pending challenges for blockchain, such as scalability, flexibility, a suitable architecture and cybersecurity. Additionally, to integrate blockchain technology fully into a real accounting ecosystem, a consensus between regulators, auditors and other parties is needed. Originality/value A general overview of this new phenomenon, as well as a summary of how the quality of accounting information might be improved, is provided. Given that it features elements such as decentralization and transparency, blockchain certainly has the potential to improve information and accounting quality.

ObjectivesIt is the aim of the current research to identify some common functionalities of postnatal application, and to determine the quality of the information content of postnatal depression application using validated scales that have been applied for applications in other specialties.Settings and participantsTo determine the information quality of the postnatal depression smartphone applications, the two most widely used smartphone application stores, namely Apple iTunes as well as Google Android Play store, were searched between 20May and 31 May. No participants were involved. The inclusion criteria for the application were that it must have been searchable using the keywords ‘postnatal’, ‘pregnancy’, ‘perinatal’, ‘postpartum’ and ‘depression’, and must be in English language.InterventionThe Silberg Scale was used in the assessment of the information quality of the smartphone applications.Primary and secondary outcomes measureThe information quality score was the primary outcome measure.ResultsOur current results highlighted that while there is currently a myriad of applications, only 14 applications are specifically focused on postnatal depression. In addition, the majority of the currently available applications on the store have only disclosed their last date of modification as well as ownership. There remain very limited disclosures about the information of the authors, as well as the references for the information included in the application itself. The average score for the Silberg Scale for the postnatal applications we have analysed is 3.0.ConclusionsThere remains a need for healthcare professionals and developers to jointly conceptualise new applications with better information quality and evidence base.

In this chapter, a novel framework is introduced for analyzing information quality within information processes of complex organizational networks on the basis of qualitative data. Networking and virtualization call for new ways of looking into information quality. Public organizations, cooperatives and non-governmental organizations are forming networks, or entering into networks of companies. Tools for analyzing information quality in such environments have been lacking. The newly developed framework is operationalized within multi-actor, multi-professional networks offering safety telephone services for ageing people. These services utilize well-being technology. The analysis is based on data from interviews with professionals working in several service networks of different types and sizes in Finland. The information quality analysis framework helps in identifying information quality dimensions that are weak in a network. This analysis is usefully combined with an investigation of network collaboration that identifies weaknesses and strengths in network collaboration affecting management of information quality.

In the aerospace experimental task,rule based information quality analysis method is very useful not only to immediately discover the problem in information gathering,transporting and processing,but also to precisely evaluate the accomplish situation. Based on the data analyzing model and characteristic of the aerospace experimental tracking and control information ,the method constructed an information quality analysis rule framework that make real-time information quality analysis a reality by combining the rules in different manner on demand. As a result, the aerospace experiment tracking and control information can be dynamically monitored, and the abnormal data can be captured instantly to help estimating the system malfunction.

We propose a novel method for online misinformation analysis based on a Wittgensteinian approach. We found no previous work that use Wittgenstein’s early philosophy for misinformation analysis. The works of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889-1951) are usually divided into two: the early and the later philosophy. Wittgenstein’s book Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (TL-P) is regarded as his early masterpiece. The TL-P is concerned with the role facts play in the world. According to TL-P, the world is composed of facts and we connect with facts by our thoughts. Our thoughts picture the world and are expressed through propositions. The system for online content analysis, described here, is a descriptive tool to clarify the thoughts and propositions found within online content analysed. Web-based written non-graphical information (articles, commentary etc.) is analysed and then scored based on criteria designed to evaluate the information quality of the content. Our hypothesis is that when applied to Web browsers and online social media platforms, the rating produced by this information quality analysis system will help users discern content qualitatively and engage more analytically with other users.
