Using Social Media for Clinical Research: A White Paper from the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health (Preprint)

UNSTRUCTURED Social media integration into research has increased and 92% of American social media users state they would share their data with researchers. Yet, the potential of this data to transform health outcomes and the way clinical research is performed has been held back. The use of these technologies in research is dependent on investigators’ awareness of its potential and their ability to innovate within regulatory and institutional guidelines. The Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health has launched an initiative to address these challenges and provide a framework to expand social media use in clinical research.

Key Features and Hermeneutical Procedures

This chapter makes use of all the data gathered over the six previous chapters by lexical-biblical-theological analyses of selected hymns. The final chapter is a compilation of key features and hermeneutical procedures of the “liturgical exegesis,” prefaced by a discussion on “liturgized Bible” and several Bible collections used by liturgists (Prophetologion, lectionaries, Psalter, etc.). For a better understanding of the notion of liturgized Bible and its correlative, liturgical exegesis, the chapter proposes an analogy between liturgical exegesis and the early-twentieth-century art style of cubism. Among the key features of liturgical exegesis are aural (hymnography) and visual (iconography) media, integration, collaboration, and actualization. Among hermeneutical procedures are hermeneutical pointers, intertextualities, and typologies. The typologies used by Byzantine hymnographers may be chiastic, reciprocal, embedded, converted, and meta-typologies. The chapter concludes with a list of dissimilarities between patristic biblical commentaries and liturgical exegesis.

Media Marketing and its Role in Reducing Political Deception

The current study aims to diagnose the role of media marketing in reducing political deception. The study sample was selected, which consists of four media channels in Najaf province, namely (Al-Iraqiya Media Channel, Euphrates Media Channel, Karbala Media Channel, Local Wafa Channel). As the number of members of these channels amounts to (150) associates, the required sample size was calculated according to the sample calculation equations. It turns out that the required sample size is (108), and accordingly, the researcher distributed (140) forms of Estebe Inn as the retriever (117) forms. (8) have been excluded from forms that are not suitable for statistical analysis. Accordingly, the final sample size (109), after the statistical analysis was carried out by adopting the program (SPSS V23 and SMART PLS) to find appropriate solutions to the problem of study, which is to determine the relationship between the study variables. The study reached a set of conclusions from its concerns, which showed media marketing in dimensions (media innovation, media integration, media investment, media ideas, media participation, media interaction). It is a competitive weapon for organizations to help them cope with changes in the internal environment and make the necessary decisions, and know competitors that help them achieve a competitive advantage. It turns out that there is an increase in the value of media because it is a source of information. The news is interested in political affairs depends on the follow-up of the press, which is similar to the interest, economy, health, culture, entrepreneurship, and many areas that derive its information and the latest news from the media. I reached the need to focus on media marketing in its dimensions and make it a general culture among all customers in different departments and people. The need to look for the appropriate methodology that achieves a state of integration between media organizations and customer orientations.

Copy Move Forgery Detection Using Forensic Images

Digital images are open to several manipulations and dropped cost of compact cameras and mobile phones due to the robust image editing tools. Image credibility is therefore become doubtful, particularly where photos have power, for instance, news reports and insurance claims in a criminal court. Images forensic methods therefore measure the integrity of image by apply different highly technical methods established in literatures. The present work deals with copy move forgery images of Media Integration and Communication Center Forgery (MICC-F2000) dataset for detecting and revealing the areas that have been tampered portion in the image, the image is sectioned into non overlapping blocks using Simple liner iterative clustering (SLIC) method. Then, Scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) descriptor is applied on the grey of the handled image to gives distinctive key points that classified by K-Nearest neighbor to detect and localize the forged portion in the tempered image. The forgery detection results gave a performance percent of about 98%, which reflects the ability of the KNN classifier that cooperated with SIFT descriptor to detect the forged portions even if the forged area is rotated or scaled or both of them.

Design and Build Distance Learning Media Based on the Business Simulator-Integrated (SIMBIZ-Integrated) Application to Support the Learning Process of Students Affected by the COVID-19 Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has a very broad impact. This pandemic not only affects health, but also education. This is because measures to prevent the spread of the virus require the application of physical distancing. With the application of physical distancing, conventional learning in the classroom cannot be implemented, so distance learning media is needed to continue the teaching and learning process. Learning media in an educational context is a very strategic instrument that helps determine the success of the teaching and learning process. This is because with their limitations, humans are often less able to capture and respond to things that are abstract or that have never been recorded in their memory. Media can support learning by providing a deeper understanding of the material being discussed. This study aimed to design, build and test a business simulator application integration system (SIMBIZ-Integrated) as a distance-learning medium that could help the learning process which has been disrupted due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, this research examines the current conditions of media utilization in distance learning and the effectiveness of the use of business application media in introductory business courses. Keywords: Distance Learning Media Integration System, Integrated Business Simulator Application (SIMBIZ-Integrated), Prevention of the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Public Behavior as an Output of E-Government Service: The Role of New Technology Integrated in E-Government and Antecedent of Relationship Quality

Electronic government has played an essential role in citizen policy strategy, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of citizen and government interaction, companies can utilize electronic government facilities to establish direct communication and maintain service quality by integrating new technologies and facilities in electronic government which can provide service via online, embedded with social media integration, implemented with mobile service, using personalized user accounts, e-participation service integration, in combination with ongoing citizen information. Therefore, electronic government facilities must adapt and choose the right content to promote strong citizen relations, leading to citizen behavior to make long-term use of electronic government facilities. This study considered and integrated the latest technology from electronic government and associated it with connection quality. Sustainable motives and faithfulness were used to quantify the quality of citizen relations to electronic government facilities, which can influence the results of citizen behavior. The SmartPLS 2 software was used to quantify and estimate 425 online questionnaire surveys. The results showed that of the 12 hypotheses, eight hypotheses were declared to have a significant effect, consisting of H1, H2, H6–H8, and H10–H12, while the other four hypotheses were stated to have no significant effect, namely H3–H5, and H9. This study was used to guide the government as a provider of electronic government facilities to adapt and provide content following the dimensions of the latest technology to achieve goals and produce sustainable implementation.
