The Advent of Play and Pursuit

Author(s):  
Yasmin Ibrahim

Multimedia advertising on the internet has demanded that advertisers and marketers become more creative and adventurous in their pursuit of consumers. This chapter argues that the notions of play and pursuit are intrinsic components of persuading consumers to interact and engage with advertising. Online advertising is also simulating game environments to reach consumers through an alternate reality. These techniques elevate play as a persuasive tool to entice consumers and to capture data for advertisers. It tacitly thwarts the assumption that the internet is a space of consumer empowerment and control. Instead it reinforces the hand of capital and uses the architecture and features of the internet to make virtual environments a productive space for advertisers.

Background/Objectives: In this study, research to improve efficiency of online advertising market, we would like to propose a new performance index called "Leakage Ratio" which can increase the efficiency of advertisement. Methods/Statistical analysis: Naver, the Internet portal site in Korea, is the most influential medium for online keyword search advertising. In this study, Leakage Ratio management is applied to online keyword search ads for five medium and large size online shopping malls at Naver. Based on the performance trend of each search keyword, we tried to improve the efficiency of the whole advertisement by changing the bid of the low efficiency keyword.

Analysis of the Slovak Discourses of Sex Education Inspired by Michel FoucaultThe aims, rules and topics of sex education exist on paper, but have yet to be implemented in Slovakia. Although the curriculum creates the illusion of openness in this field, the silence on sex education in schools provides space for the alternative, "more valuable" quiet discourses of religious education. Under these conditions, it is silence that is proving to be an advantageous strategy for the majority of those who should be voicing their opinions. Instead, they listen and control. By contrast, those who do speak out, children and young people, do not in fact, speak to them, but mainly among themselves. Those who are silent and listen are not prepared for the younger generations confessions on sexuality, which are mostly taken from the liberal area of media, especially the internet. The silent frequently lack, at the very least, the basic ability to react and debate in this changed situation. Those who are involved in the discussion on sexuality in Slovakia are those who should listen and supervise.

The development of information and computerized tenology has led to what is called the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW). In addition, the dramatic development of the Internet has given users more choice and control over content, and also provides individuals, businesses, and public and private organizations with the opportunity to generate and disseminate information. The interactive features of the web can be an effective way to build and maintain mutually beneficial relationships if the web is used properly. The presence of the Internet has proven to have a positive impact on the development of a village, sub-district or district to introduce and inform the potential of its region. This is evident in several regions of Indonesia which have successfully used Internet facilities to introduce tourist destinations to the world. Therefore, the training on the promotion website is an effort to optimize the introduction of high quality village products in the district of Patuk and is also intended to follow the results of research on the design of a promotion of superior products and tourist objects on the web in Patuk Gunungkidul district. On the basis of the website promotion feasibility test during the training for each representative in 11 villages in the Patuk sub-district, 87.36% was obtained, so that it can be said that the Introduction of superior village products via promotional materials based on the website was optimal and met the needs of users.

Much communications research is in agreement about the failure of mass media to adequately facilitate a public sphere of open and reflexive debate necessary for strong democratic culture. In contrast , the internet's decentralised, two-way communication is seen by many commentators to be extending such debate. However, there is some ambivalence among critical theorists as to the future role of the internet in advancing the public sphere. On the one hand, the internet is providing the means fot the voicing of positions and identities excluded from the mass media. On the other hand, a number of problem are limiting the extensiveness and effetivness of this voicing. One of the most significant problems is the corporate colonisation of cyberspace, and subsequent marginalisation rational-critical communication. It is this problem that i will focus on in this article, with reference to examples from what I refer to as the 'New Zealand online public sphere'. I show how online corporate portals and media sites are gaining the most attention orientated to public communication, including news, information, and discussion. These sites generally support conservative discourse and consumer practices. The result is a marginalisation online of the very voices marginalised offline, and also of the critical-reflexive form of communication that makes for a strong public sphere. I conclude by noting that corporate colonisation is as yet only partial, and control of attention and media is highly contested by multiple 'alternative' discursive spaces online.

Under the current situation of prevention and control Corona Virus Disease 2019(COVID-19), the development of fitness industry in Liuzhou is analyzed, and the survival environment, management, coaches' quality and reasons for the closure of the club are analyzed. The results show that Liuzhou fitness market is greatly affected by the economic and social environment, and the seemingly prosperous fitness market has met with bottlenecks, and its operation is in danger. Taking “Internet+” as a new power engine, we should build a service platform of Liuzhou fitness alliance, strengthen the supply side reform such as management and coach quality, increase effective supply of high quality, and guide clubs to play their own advantages to develop differentiated competition, which is an effective way to promote the transformation and upgrading of traditional fitness industry.

Currently, powerful modern poultry farms require built-in logistics with an optimized structure of control and management. Such a system requires formalization and ranking, responding to the tasks of specific divisions of enterprises and poultry farms in general. The analysis of the robots on the Russko-Vysotskaya site shows positive results when the Big Dutchman company introduced the BigFarmNet Manager and AMAKS systems for 11 years of operation of this complex allowing to regulate and control the production processes of egg processing, feeding, drinking, to manage the microclimate of poultry houses in real time from the central office or from a portable personal computer using the Internet.

Differences between traditional laboratory research and Internet-based research require review of basic issues of research methodology. These differences have implications for research ethics (e.g., absence of researcher, potential exposure of confidential data and/or identity to a third-party, guaranteed debriefing) and security (e.g., confidentiality and anonymity, security of data transmission, security of data storage, and tracking subjects over time). We also review basic design issues a researcher should consider before implementing an Internet study, including the problem of subject self-selection and loss of experimental control on the Internet laboratory. An additional challenge for Internet-based research is the increased opportunity for subject misbehavior, intentional or otherwise. We discuss methods to detect and minimize these threats to the validity of Internet-based research.
