Activity Types

In the past years, there has been an emerging number of studies on estimating the passenger demand in urban environments based on social media and cellular data. However, the study of the travel behavior at the individual level and the relation between social media activity and the activity/mobility patterns of users has received limited attention. To rectify this, this study examines Twitter data for unveiling the relations between geo-tagged Tweets and Twitter user sentiments, and the respective activity types performed in the real-world. In this work we try to find common patterns between users' Twitter activity and their actual mobility/activity patterns with the aim to provide some generalizations that can help to understand and model the travel behavior of users. This is achieved with the development of educated rules and probabilistic models that can predict the mobility transfers of users between different activities based solely on social media data. The validity of our generalizations is validated with the use of 4-month Twitter data from London. Only active Twitter users have been selected to study in deep the relations between social media activities/sentiments and the activity types performed in the real-world. Although our generalizations are case study-specific, they demonstrate that it is possible to extract the activity and mobility behavior of users with the use of social media and offer a first step in this direction.

This research begins with an understanding of the endemic radicalism of society, not only of the real world, but also of various online social media. This study showed that the avoidance of online radicalism can be stopped as soon as possible by accusing those influenced by the radical radicality of a secular religious approach. The methods used must be assisted in order to achieve balanced understanding (wasathiyah) under the different environmental conditions of the culture through recognizing the meaning of religion. The research tool used is primarily library work and the journal writings by Abu Rokhmad, a terrorist and radicalise specialist. The results of this study are that an approach that supports inclusive ism will avoid the awareness of radicalization through a heart-to-heart approach. This study also shows that radical actors will never cease to argue dramatically until they are able to grasp different views from Islamic law, culture, and families.Keywords: radicalism, deradicalization, multiculturalism, culture, religion, moderate.Penelitian ini berawal dari paham radikalisme yang telah mewabah di masyarakat, bukan hanya di dunia nyata, bahkan sudah menyusup di berbagai media sosial online. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa cara menangkal radikalisme online dapat dilakukan pencegahan sedini mungkin melalui pendekatan konseling religius multikultural terhadap mereka yang terkena paham radikal radikal. Diantara teknik yang digunakan adalah melalui pemahaman tentang konsep agama juga perlu digalakkan agar memunculkan pemahaman yang moderat (wasathiyah) diberbagai keadaan lingkungan masyarakat. Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah library research dengan sumber utama adalah karya dan jurnal karya Abu Rokhmad seorang pakar dalam masalah terorisme dan radikalisme. Temuan penelitian ini adalah paham radikalisasi itu dapat dihentikan dengan pendekatan hati ke hati dengan mengedepankan budaya yang multikultural. Kajian ini juga membuktikan bahwa pelaku paham radikal tidak akan pernah berhenti memberikan argumen radikal kecuali mampu memahami perbedaan pendapat yang bersumber dari syariat Islam, lingkungan sosial, dan keluarga.Kata kunci: radikalisme, deradikalisasi, multikultural, budaya, agama, moderat.

Twitter behaves as a social sensor of the world. The tweets provided by the Twitter Firehose reveal the properties of big data (i.e. volume, variety, and velocity). With millions of users on Twitter, the Twitter's virtual communities are now replicating the real-world communities. Consequently, the discussions of real world events are also very often on Twitter. This work has performed the real-time analysis of the tweets related to a targeted event (e.g. election) to identify those potential sub-events that occurred in the real world, discussed over Twitter and cause the significant change in the aggregated sentiment score of the targeted event with time. Such type of analysis can enrich the real-time decision-making ability of the event bearer. The proposed approach utilizes a three-step process: (1) Real-time sentiment analysis of tweets (2) Application of Bayesian Change Points Detection to determine the sentiment change points (3) Major sub-events detection that have influenced the sentiment of targeted event. This work has experimented on Twitter data of Delhi Election 2015.

Abstract There is a need to understand how patients are managed in the real world to better understand disease burden and unmet need. Traditional approaches to gather these data include the use of electronic medical record (EMR) or claims databases; however, in many cases data access policies prevent rapid insight gathering. Social media may provide a potential source of real-world data to assess treatment patterns, but the limitations and biases of doing so have not yet been evaluated. Here, we assessed whether patient treatment patterns extracted from publicly available patient forums compare to results from more traditional EMR and claims databases. We observed that the 95% confidence intervals of proportions of treatments received at first, second, and third line for advanced/metastatic melanoma generated from unstructured social media data overlapped with 95% confidence intervals from proportions obtained from 1 or more traditional EMR/Claims databases. Social media may offer a valid data option to understand treatment patterns in the real world.

As usually occurs, there is quite a variety of topics in the May issue of College & Research Libraries. However, there is interesting thread running through about half of the articles in the issue, speaking to the treatment of media, images, and music. Working on a college campus, it is impossible not to see how embedded media has become in people’s lives, as both consumers and producers. Creating and sharing videos through social media, posting to YouTube channels, and circulation of memes has become an everyday reality. It is a reality that even pervades spoken language in the real world with comments like “You’ve become a meme.”

Abstract Using social media Web sites is among the most common activities of today’s children and adolescents. Such sites offer today’s youth a portal for entertainment and communication, and have grown exponentially in recent years. Parents and teachers become aware of the nature of social media sites, thus they do not know that not all of them are healthy environments for children and adolescents. This field is important because pedagogists, psychologists and pediatrics need to understand how youth lives in a new, massive, and complex virtual universe, even as they carry on their lives in the real world. In the article I have presented a discussion of a few empirical research carried out by different authors to show various aspects of child and adolescent development in this virtual universe and to present the methodological implications of such types of studies.

The virtual subscribe button feature on the YouTube platform, which is only the smallest technological element in cyberspace, has turned into a technology capable of dominating interactions in cyberspace and the real world. This growing influence cannot be separated from the subscribe button's function, which is increasingly changing, not just running a function to subscribe to the YouTube channel. Technically, this key determinism has turned into something very social to become a means of moving community groups to influence the economy, politics, social and culture. That can be seen from the results of observations of eight informants who are YouTube users. The eight informants acknowledged the subscribe button's existence, which has influenced social and economic interactions on social media in the last decade. Although several informants also pointed out that humans' role is still visible in the development of the subscriber button as one of the most crucial features in social media, YouTube, and the internet as a whole.

This study is intended to answer three main questions. First, how does the Z generation in Malang City responds to the use of hermeneutics as a method of interpreting the Qur'an by Muslim scholars? Second, how is the process of transmitting their knowledge about it? And third, how is the construction of their knowledge about the ideal interpretation of the Qur'an and can respond to socio-religious dynamics and phenomena? This study is a field study, while the primary respondents are Z generation in Malang City. The use of descriptive, hermeneutic, and intertext analysis models on data, the results of this study showed that there are differences conveyed by the Z generation of Malang City related to the use of hermeneutics as a method of interpretation of the Qur'an: some of them accept it, while others reject it. The transmission of their knowledge about hermeneutics also varies; most of them are correlated with social media, some are still conventional, which relies on information from teachers, and so on. This showed that generation Z of Malang city is not entirely averse to issues that tend to be controversial. Moreover, the authority for interpreting the Qur'an has not entirely shifted from the real world to cyberspace, no matter how dependent they are on the new media.

Media Mining

This paper proposes probabilistic models for social media mining based on the multiple attributes of social media content, bloggers, and links. The authors present a unique social media classification framework that computes the normalized document-topic matrix. After comparing the results for social media classification on real-world data, the authors find that the model outperforms the other techniques in terms of overall precision and recall. The results demonstrate that additional information contained in social media attributes can improve classification and retrieval results.
