There is a developing number of individuals who hold accounts via web-based networking media stages however conceal their character for pernicious purposes. Tragically, almost no research has been done to date to distinguish counterfeit characters made by people, particularly so via web-based networking media stages. Online social media step by step incorporate monetary capacities by permitting the utilization of genuine and virtual money, filling in as new stages to have an assortment of organizations, for example, online limited time occasions, where clients can become virtual assesses as a compensation for going to such occasions. Both NSOs and business stakeholders are essentially concerned when Attackers actualize an assortment of records to gather virtual money from these occasions, making these occasions insufficient and the outcome in critical budgetary misfortune. It turns out to be critical to proactively identify these malignant records before on the web and special exercises in this manner they decline their need to be remunerated. In this paper, we have present a new framework, called ProGuard, for accomplish this by deliberately coordinating highlights that describe accounts from three viewpoints, including their overall conduct, their top-up designs and the utilization of their cash. We directed various experiments dependent on information gathered by Ten cent QQ, a world chief OSN with coordinated budgetary administration exercises. Exploratory outcomes have indicated that our framework is equipped for accomplishing a high recognition pace of 96.67% at a low false positive pace of 0.3%.

Background: May is recognized as Stroke Awareness month and many stroke programs design public awareness campaigns to provide education about the signs and symptoms of stroke and modifiable risk factors. An essential element of any stroke program includes the education of the community about stroke prevention, recognition, and early activation. Prior to 2016, community education consisted of blood pressure and risk factor screening by in various community settings. In 2016, the health system incorporated internet and social media components to education and community outreach during Stroke Awareness Month. Purpose: The purpose of this project was to analyze the added impact of incorporating interactive internet education and risk factor identification during Stroke Awareness Month. Methods: In 2016 we conducted a stroke awareness campaign of traditional screening and education events in the community. At these events, persons were offered a blood pressure measurement, asked about risk factors, and educated on the signs of stroke. Persons were also directed to a stroke risk profiler on the health system stroke center page that stratified their risk and possible interventions to reduce risk. Additional outreach and education efforts included an internet campaign directing persons to the risk profiler via internal health system media and social media. Paid social media, search and display ads for stroke signs and stroke risk also directed persons to the stroke risk profiler. Results: Traditional methods of education and screening yielded contact with 193 community members requiring approximately 50 hours of volunteer time. During May the web-based, interactive stroke risk assessment profiler was visited by 6,010 persons, and 1,570 fully completed the profiler. In subsequent months following the web-based community outreach campaign, traffic on the health system stroke center webpage remained at the high level of activity during May, and over 200% higher than traffic the previous year. Conclusions: Stroke awareness education and risk assessment is feasible and efficient via the internet and using social media. Using the internet and social media expands the size and increases the interaction of the community reached during Stroke Awareness Month.

Ever since the web began, the number of websites has been growing exponentially. These websites cover an ever-increasing range of online services that fill a variety of social and economic functions across a growing range of industries. Yet the networked nature of the web, combined with the economics of preferential attachment, increasing returns and global trade, suggest that over the long run a small number of competitive giants are likely to dominate each functional market segment, such as search, retail and social media. Here we perform a large scale longitudinal study to quantify the distribution of attention given in the online environment to competing organisations. In two large online social media datasets, containing more than 10 billion posts and spanning more than a decade, we tally the volume of external links posted towards the organisations’ main domain name as a proxy for the online attention they receive. We also use the Common Crawl dataset—which contains the linkage patterns between more than a billion different websites—to study the patterns of link concentration over the past three years across the entire web. Lastly, we showcase the linking between economic, financial and market data by exploring the relationships between online attention on social media and the growth in enterprise value in the electric carmaker Tesla. Our analysis shows that despite the fact that we observe consistent growth in all the macro indicators—the total amount of online attention, in the number of organisations with an online presence, and in the functions they perform—we also observe that a smaller number of organisations account for an ever-increasing proportion of total user attention, usually with one large player dominating each function. These results highlight how evolution of the online economy involves innovation, diversity, and then competitive dominance.

Pengabdian ini dilakukan di SD IT Asy-Syafi’i Pekanbaru, berupa pelatihan untuk guru-guru di lingkungan sekolah terhadap pengelolaan aplikasi e-Learning. Saat ini dalam proses pembelajaran siswa, SDIT Imam Asy-Syafi’i menggunakan sistem daring dengan tools media sosial seperti whatsapp sehingga menyulitkan guru-guru dalam penyampaian materi dan pengumpulan tugas karena guru-guru harus memeriksa satu per satu pesan yang masuk ke whatsapp nya. Pihak sekolah juga tidak menggunakan media video conference seperti zoom, dikarenakan akan memakan banyak kuota siswanya, dan jika kuota siswa habis saat video conference maka siswa akan ketinggalan pelajaran. Oleh karena itu diperlukan media pembelajaran yang dapat mengatasi hal tersebut yaitu sebuah aplikasi e-Learning berbasis web. Dimana, pada aplikasi e-learning berbasis web yang dibuat oleh tim pengabdian akan menyesuaikan kebutuhan SDIT Imam Asy-Syafi’i. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, pemahaman guru-guru terhadap penggunaan aplikasi e-learning sudah baik yaitu 85,7% menyatakan paham tentang pengelolaan aplikasi e-learning. Abstract: This service was carried out at SD IT Asy-Syafi'i Pekanbaru, in the form of training for teachers in the school environment in managing e-Learning applications. Currently in the student learning process, SDIT Imam Asy-Syafi'i uses an online system with social media tools such as WhatsApp, making it difficult for teachers to deliver material and collect assignments because teachers have to check one by one the messages that go to their WhatsApp. The school also does not use video conferencing media such as zoom, because it will consume a lot of student quota, and if the student quota runs out during the video conference, students will miss lessons. Therefore we need learning media that can overcome this, namely a web-based e-Learning application. Where, the web-based e-learning application made by the community service team will match the needs of SDIT Imam Asy-Syafi'i. Based on the results of the questionnaire, the teachers' understanding of the use of e-learning applications was good, namely 85.7% stated that they understood the management of e-learning applications.

BACKGROUND Recent medical education literature pertaining to professional identity development fails to reflect the impact social media has on professional identity theory. Social media is transforming the field of medicine, as the web-based medium is now an avenue for professional development and socialization for medical students and residents. Research regarding identity development in social media has been primarily confined to electronic professionalism through best practice guidelines. However, this neglects other potential aspects pertinent to digital identity that have not yet been explored. OBJECTIVE This study aims to define the properties and development of the digital self and its interactions with the current professional identity development theory. METHODS A qualitative study was conducted using thematic analysis. A total of 17 participants who are social media education and knowledge translation experts were interviewed. The initial participants were from emergency medicine, and a snowball sampling method was used following their respective web-based semistructured interviews to enable global recruitment of other participants from interprofessional disciplines. The research team consisted of a diverse group of researchers including one current social media knowledge translation physician clinician educator, one postdoctoral researcher who is regularly engaged in social media knowledge translation, and 3 nonphysician research assistants who are not social media users. Half of the team conducted the initial coding and analysis, whereas the other 2 investigators audited the procedures followed. RESULTS A total of 4 themes were identified that pertain to digital identity. In the first theme, origins of initial digital identity formation were found to be derived from perceived needs in professional roles (eg, as a medical student or resident). The second theme consisted of the cultivation of digital identity, in which digital identity was developed parallel to professional identity. The third theme that emerged was the management between the professional and personal components of digital identity. Participants initially preferred keeping these components completely separate; however, attempts to do so were inadequate while the integration of both components provided benefits. The fourth theme was the management of real-life identity and digital identity. Participants preferred real-life identity to be wholly represented on the web. Instances of misalignment resulted in identity conflict, compromising one of the identities. CONCLUSIONS Social media introduces new features to professional identity in the digital world. The formation of digital identity, its development, and reconciliation with other identities were features captured in our analysis. The virtual component of professional identity must not be neglected but instead further explored, as educational institutions continue to give more importance to navigating professional identity development.

Abstract The data-driven study of cultural information diffusion in online (social) media is currently an active area of research. The availability of data from the web thereby generates new opportunities to examine how words propagate through online media and communities, as well as how these diffusion patterns are intertwined with the materiality and culture of social media platforms. In support of such efforts, this paper introduces an online tool for tracking the consecutive occurrences of words across subreddits on Reddit between 2005 and 2017. By processing the full Pushshift.io Reddit comment archive for this period (Baumgartner et al., 2020), we are able to track the first occurrences of 76 million words, allowing us to visualize which subreddits subsequently adopt any of those words over time. We illustrate this approach by addressing the spread of terms referring to famous internet controversies, and the percolation of alt-right terminology. By making our instrument and the processed data publically available, we aim to facilitate a range of exploratory analyses in computational social science, the digital humanities, and related fields.

Practical Support

Social media provides a platform for easily accessible, relevant health information and emotional and practical support at the touch of a button for millions of people with diabetes. Therein however lies a challenge. The accuracy and reliability of such information is often unknown and unverified, not all interactions are deemed supportive; practically or emotionally, and not all members of society have equitable access. Cyber bullying, requests for personal information and uninvited sharing are among the risks associated with social media, yet the use of online social media is increasing exponentially. Such reliance on web-based health information has given rise to concerns about patients’ ability to accurately assess the credibility of online sources as well as the potential detrimental effect on personal well-being and patient-provider relations. In addition, there are rising digital disparities for particular subpopulations. Further, these concerns apply to where and how health care professionals should engage or refer patients to in terms of platforms of online support. There is little doubt regarding the popularity of social media, both within and outside of the health arena but there are also concerns. This article outlines five key areas associated with social media use in people living with diabetes and presents potential considerations moving forward. We focus on (1) social media as a platform for information and support; (2) social media interactions that are not supportive; (3) lessons from the DOC; (4) concerns about accuracy, reliability, and accessibility of information; and (5) differing priorities of health care professionals and patients.

This article presents a social semiotic analysis of emoji-language semiosis. Combining the theoretical architecture of Systemic Functional Linguistics and methodology of Multimodal Discourse Analysis, we propose an analytical framework that can identify how emoji make meaning both individually and in interaction with language. Using the web-based coding software WebAnno, we apply this framework to a dataset of text messages and social media posts. The results identify typical realisations of particular semiotic features by emoji as well as noteworthy dynamics in how emoji interact with language to realise meaning. We observe (1) how emoji and language jointly construing ideational meaning realise intermodal taxonomies (where hyper/hyponyms are distributed across modes) and particular fields of discourse (domains of experiential meaning), (2) how resources in one mode can serve to foreground particular regions of meaning potential in other modes, and (3) how attitudinal meaning realised by emoji appears to differ from the prosodic patterning of linguistic attitude.
