This paper explored the degree to which use terms proposed by model licenses have become institutionalized across different publishers’ licenses. It examined model license use terms in four areas: downloading, scholarly sharing, interlibrary loan, and electronic reserves. Data collection and analysis involved content analysis of 224 electronic journal licenses spanning 2000–2009. Analysis examined how use terms changed over time, differences between consortia and site license use terms and differences between commercial and noncommercial publisher license use terms. Results suggest that some model license use terms have become institutionalized while others have not. Use terms with higher institutionalization included: allowing ILL, permitting secure e-transmission for ILL, allowing e-reserves with no special permissions, and not requiring deletion of e-reserves files. Scholarly sharing showed lower institutionalization with most publishers not including scholarly sharing allowances. Other use terms showing low institutionalization included: recommendations to avoid printing requirements related to ILL and recommendations to allow hyperlinks for e-reserves. The results provide insight into the range of use terms commonly employed in e-journal licenses.

News providers today offer interactive sources that engage people, enable them to build community, and to participate in the news. At the same time, the digital interfaces through which people access the news are continuingly evolving, diverse, and oftentimes visually complex. How these factors shape human information seeking in news-oriented virtual communities is a relatively new area of study and therefore greater understanding of their influence on human behavior is of much practical value. In this chapter, the authors explore trends and developments in news-oriented virtual communities. They review several data collection and analysis techniques such as content analysis, usability testing and eye-tracking and propose that these techniques and associated tools can aid the study of news communities. They examine the implications these techniques have for better understanding human behavior in virtual communities as well as for improving the design of these environments.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a conceptual framework for a hybrid simulation model that can be used to study the decision making and behaviors of humanitarian logistics actors to determine how/whether certain coordination mechanisms enable better relief chain efficiency and effectiveness over time. Design/methodology/approach – The agent-based portion of the model is used to represent human decision making and interactions in a more realistic way than has been done previously, and the discrete-event simulation (DES) portion of the model allows the movement of vehicles, materials, and information throughout a supply network to be represented in a way that allows for dynamic and stochastic behavior. Findings – Coordinated efforts by actors in humanitarian logistics operations involve complex interactions and adaptations over time, which can be capture and explored via hybrid agent-based model (ABM)-DES modeling. Research limitations/implications – This paper describes a framework for a hybrid ABM-DES model. The actual development and implementation of the model, including input data collection and analysis, model development, experimentation, and output data collection and analysis, will be the subject of future work. Practical implications – The hybrid model framework provides other researchers with a starting point for model development. Social implications – This paper provides a basis for future modeling and assessment of coordination in humanitarian logistics, an area that is in need of research. Originality/value – The hybrid simulation modeling framework presented in this paper is a novel application of a new modeling methodology to the problem of coordination in humanitarian logistics.

U.S. political party genderization (Republicans as masculine; Democrats as feminine) is well-documented in research. To determine if Hillary Clinton may have disrupted these patterns as the first female major-party presidential nominee, Reddit posts during the 2016 election campaign were analyzed. Most studies focus on professional news or candidate self-presentations concocted by image handlers. We departed from this tradition, focusing on (a) gender qualities that Redditors assign to candidates on this platform and (b) statistical tracking of these patterns over time. The results provide insight into how the electorate presented the two candidates and Donald Trump’s largely unexpected victory.

Many companies in Indonesia already have completed sustainability reporting (SR) in their corporate reporting eventhough the regulation has not required public companies to disclose Integrated Reporting (IR) in their report. Are companies with excellent sustainability reporting ready to release integrated reporting? This question is the main concern of this paper. The published guidelines by IIRC are divided into two categories: guidelines which can be assessed objectively and those that cannot be measured objectively. Content analysis is used for data collection and analysis for annual reports of the companies used as sample in this research. The result of this research showed that companies that won Indonesia Sustainability Reporting Award are ready to disclose Integrated Reporting with few modification which adds the value of their report. The implication of the study for public companies is a encouragement to publish integrated reporting and for researchers is being preliminary research for developing research about integrated report in Indonesia.

Mobile technologies are useful. However, several mobile technologies also have disadvantages for students besides their advantages. Cyberloafing is one of these critical situations that the students could experience. Several studies on cyberloafing were conducted worldwide. The present study aimed to analyse these studies based on variable frequency, workgroups, data collection instruments, research methods and distribution of studies among countries. This study aimed to evaluate the results of the publications found in the Google Scholar, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, ProQuest, Sage, Taylor and Francis databases with a search using ‘cyberloafing’ keyword and published between 2013 and March 2018. The present study would provide insight into existing studies and their shortcomings and it would also provide guidance for further research

<p>A space generally associated with marketers and breaking news (Hobsbawn, 2009 cited in Evans, Twomey &amp; Talan, 2011), Twitter has also become a space debate, community building and legitimization for companies and social movements alike. The academic literature has seen a rise in interest in the micro-blogging platform. For instance, Adi and Moloney (2012) assess the strategic uses of Twitter by protest groups, Adi, Erickson and Lilleker (2014) reflect on the networks and use pattern of the same platform by politicians, namely UK Labor party representatives in the House of Lords while Adi and Grigore (2015) analyze the strategic uses of social media by corporations. Bajpai and Jaiswal (2011) on the other hand propose a framework for analyzing collective action events on Twitter and so do the creators behind visual analysis platforms like NodeXL, Gephi, Linkurious and Socioviz. Public Relations research too has provided several reflections and analyses of Twitter. Verhoeven et al (2012) and Sweetsner and Kelleher discuss how practitioners use social media; Lovejoy, Waters and Saxton evaluate how NGO are engaging stakeholders though the new medium, while Saffer, Sommerfeldt and Taylor (2013) suggest that Twitter interactivity influences the quality of organization–public relationships. With questions about the professionalization of Public Relations as well as about the portrayals and perceptions of the profession continuing to intrigue researchers, it is surprising that only Xifra and Grau (2010) looked into the type of information shared in tweets about public relations. Using the Twitter data collection and analysis option from Socioviz this paper provides an exploratory account of the #publicrelations on Twitter. Using the visualizations provided by the platform and automated data analysis to gain insight into over 10,000 tweets published during June 15-24 and July 15-24, this paper qualitatively assesses the emerging themes about public relations focusing on association of hashtags and type of messages shared and identifies the most active and most influential users within the issue topic. The paper reveals that the #publicrelations is often associated with #jobs or is hijacked and associated with tags such as #gossip or #entertainment. The paper also shows that conversation in the #publicrelations issue network is limited and that the hashtag only partially includes content relevant to the practice. In doing so the paper raises important questions about the nature of dialogue and symmetry on social media and their assessment and suggests that further research should explore twitter chats as well as continue to apply similar data collection methods as used for the study.</p>

Through genetic tracing, the origins of a person and who their ancestors are can be traced scientifically even though over time their genes have evolved following ecological changes. Likewise, a person's ideas can be traced where the origin comes from through memetic tracing. This article discusses case studies in several works which are assumed to be works of design product plagiarism at one of the famous universities in Indonesia. The plagiarism process is investigated through tracking changes in their memes. The research method was carried out by investigation. Data collection and analysis through field studies and in-depth interviews with participants who are actors and users of plagiarism products. The research was conducted in 2017. The results showed that plagiarism resulted in degradation of physical and visual qualities, visual disguises for the purpose of copycat self-actualization, and a sense of innocence from them.

The Qur'an is a revelation that is a useful guide for believers in facing various problems of life including pandemic tribulations. Al-Quran shows guidance in accepting and eradicating the pandemic that Allah SWT has determined. Problems arise for some who claim that pandemics should be avoided through technology prevention or treatment alone. Apparently in the Qur'an provides guidance in aspects of life and religion to face the pandemic tribulations. The objective of this study focuses on formulating the Quranic guide in dealing with pandemic tribulations in terms of preparation, prevention and awareness. This qualitative study was produced by applying the method of data collection and analysis of data from Quranic verses and key interpretations. Important findings state that references to revelation cause pandemic to be encountered and eradicated by the norms of faith. Pandemic have been recorded in the Qur'an as a test against the believers and a catastrophe against the negative group among human beings. The Qur'an is also not left behind in explaining the situation of qadha pandemic which contains great wisdom. The most important conclusion is that the adherence to the Qur'an causes people to become calm and continue to strive to deal with pandemic without rejection of the demands of faith. Allah SWT must be remembered as the owner of the epidemic that has occurred over time, even though the apparent cause of some pandemics is due to habits or viruses among humans. Al-Quran al-Karim merupakan wahyu yang menjadi panduan berguna buat manusia yang beriman dalam menghadapi pelbagai permasalahan hidup termasuk tribulasi wabak. Al-Quran mengutarakan panduan dalam menerima dan menangkis wabak yang telah ditentukan Allah SWT. Permasalahan timbul bagi sesetengah pihak yang mendakwa wabak seharusnya dijauhi dengan kaedah pencegahan atau perawatan teknologi semata-mata. Ternyata dalam al-Quran menyediakan panduan dalam aspek duniawi dan ukhrawi bagi menghadapi tribulasi wabak. Objektif kajian ini memfokuskan kepada merumuskan panduan al-Quran dalam menghadapi tribulasi wabak dalam aspek persediaan, penghindaran dan kesedaran. Kajian kualitatif ini dihasilkan dengan mengaplikasikan metod pengumpulan data dan penganalisisan data daripada ayat al-Quran dan pentafsiran muktabar. Dapatan penting menyatakan bahawa rujukan terhadap wahyu menyebabkan wabak dapat dihadapi dan ditangani dengan norma keimanan. Wabak sememangnya telah dirakamkan dalam al-Quran sebagai ujian terhadap orang beriman dan bencana terhadap golongan negatif di kalangan manusia. Al-Quran juga tidak ketinggalan dalam menerangkan situasi qadha’ wabak yang mengandungi hikmah yang besar. Kesimpulan terpenting ialah sesungguhnya pegangan terhadap al-Quran menyebabkan manusia mernjadi tenang dan terus berusaha menangani wabak tanpa berlaku pemisahan terhadap tuntutan keimanan. Allah SWT wajib dingati sebagai pemegang urusan wabak yang berlaku zaman-berzaman biarpun zahir penyebab sebahagian wabak adalah disebabkan tabiat atau virus di kalangan manusia.
