Predicting Brand Post Popularity in Online Social Networks: An Ex-Ante Approach

Brands stand at the core of marketing, and social media is now viewed as the most prominent method to engender what we know as “word-of-mouth” (Ghiassi et al. 2013). Social media users who follow brands are growing in number, and companies are increasingly investing in social media in order to better reach their target audiences. Marketers invest in social media to increase brand exposure, facilitate dialogue, foster relationships, and interact with customers (Shi et al. 2014). Companies organize online social content so that they reach a greater and more varied target audience of users. Therefore, it is important to be able to predict the popularity of online content. Predicting whether a brand post is going to be popular and how that popularity will grow, based on the content and timing, is of much interest to social media content providers. While most previous studies have attempted to approach this problem after the content is posted i.e. the ex post prediction of underlying diffusion process using econometric models (e.g. Szabo & Huberman 2010, Zadeh & Sharda 2014, Zaman et al. 2014), this study intends to propose a methodology of an ex-ante prediction of popularity performance based on analyzing large volumes of content generated by brands. We investigate the factors that drive brand post popularity, that is, the number of impressions that a brand post receives on social media. In order to achieve this objective, we perform text mining to extract patterns and characterize brand posts with respect to vividness, interactivity, informativeness, entertainingness, time-sensitiveness, and sentimentality. We then approach this problem as a classification problem and examine several predictive models to predict the final popularity of brand post.
Understanding EHR Assimilation Using Social Information Processing Cues

Despite the impressive scale of growth in Electronic Health Record (EHR) platform implementation across healthcare organizations, appropriating benefits from such transformative digital artifacts remain a complex and challenging process. While significant focus of academics and policy makers on preimplementation stages of EHR integration, little or insignificant focus has been on the critical phase of post-implementation EHR assimilation. The post-implementation stage of EHRs is a critical stage because it is in this phase that EHR users stabilize the usage behavior and pattern into their care delivery routine. This phase involves the process of understanding how a set or subset of process functionalities can be fit and adapted into the immediate healthcare task environment. The post-implementation stage consists of extensive interactions and exchange of information among the stakeholders as they learn to adapt and innovate the platform to the needs of their healthcare tasks associated with the care delivery process. In such circumstances, social relations and influences associated with these relationships becomes a critical mechanism and driver of EHR assimilation and its subsequent impact on appropriate of healthcare benefits. While IS literature predominantly focuses on adoption and pre-implementation stages, we have limited understanding on the post-implementation phases-i.e., EHR assimilation. While the first two stages leads to understanding and comprehension of EHR in the task environment context, it is the post-implementation phase where the caregivers assimilate the functionality in a routine or innovative ways. Knowledge of functionality assimilation patterns thus becomes critical to the success of EHR implementation and assimilation across the healthcare domain. Motivated by the need to understand the post-implementation aspect of emerging practices and innovation related to EHRs, we examine the drivers of EHR assimilation and the mechanisms through which such drivers enable key healthcare outcomes-i.e., patient satisfaction and quality of care. Drawing from the social information processing theory (Salancik and Pfeffer 1978), we propose that social cues emanating from two distinct form or ties-i.e., instrumental ties and expressive tiesare critical to understanding the mechanisms of EHR assimilation and its subsequent role in enabling healthcare outcomes. Thus, social contexts facilitate or constraints the impact of such interactions on the outcomes of EHR assimilation. This study can enhance our understanding of the role of social context in enabling EHR assimilation across healthcare organization.
Observing the Evolution of QUIC Implementations

The QUIC protocol combines features that were initially found inside the TCP, TLS and HTTP/2 protocols. The IETF is currently finalising a complete specification of this protocol. More than a dozen of independent implementations have been developed in parallel with these standardisation activities. We propose and implement a QUIC test suite that interacts with public QUIC servers to verify their conformance with key features of the IETF specification. Our measurements, gathered over a semester, provide a unique viewpoint on the evolution of the QUIC protocol and of its implementations. They highlight the introduction of new features and some regressions among the different implementations.
Relationship between Digital Business Intensity and Process Innovation: An Empirical Examination

Drawing upon dynamic capabilities theory, this study examines the effect of digital business intensity on process innovation. The empirical evidence from a sample of CIO’s from US firms suggest that digital business intensity enhances process innovation, organizational mindfulness and knowledge management. Furthermore, our findings show that organizational mindfulness and knowledge management are key antecedents of process innovation.
Responses of Nitrogen-Cycling Microorganisms to Dazomet Fumigation

The influence of soil fumigation on microorganisms involved in transforming nitrogen remains little understood, despite the use of fumigants for many decades to control soil-borne pathogens and plant-parasitic nematodes. We used real-time PCR (quantitative polymerase chain reaction) and 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing techniques to monitor changes in the diversity and community structure of microorganisms associated with nitrogen transfer after the soil was fumigated with dazomet (DZ). We also examined nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from these microorganisms present in fumigated fluvo-aquic soil and lateritic red soil. Fumigation with DZ significantly reduced the abundance of 16S rRNA and nitrogen cycling functional genes (nifH, AOA amoA, AOB amoA, nxrB, narG, napA, nirK, nirS, cnorB, qnorB, and nosZ). At the same time, N2O production rates increased between 9.9 and 30 times after fumigation. N2O emissions were significantly correlated with NH4+, dissolved amino acids and microbial biomass nitrogen, but uncorrelated with functional gene abundance. Diversity indices showed that DZ temporarily stimulated bacterial diversity as well as caused a significant change in bacterial community composition. For example, DZ significantly decreased populations of N2-fixing bacteria Mesorhizobium and Paenibacillus, nitrifiers Nitrosomonas, and the denitrifiers Bacillus, Pseudomonas, and Paracoccus. The soil microbial community had the ability to recover to similar population levels recorded in unfumigated soils when the inhibitory effects of DZ fumigation were no longer evident. The microbial recovery rate, however, depended on the physicochemical properties of the soil. These results provided useful information for environmental safety assessments of DZ in China, for improving our understanding of the N-cycling pathways in fumigated soils, and for determining the potential responses of different N-cycling groups after fumigation.
Conversational quality is affected by and reflected in prosodic entrainment

Prosodic entrainment is connected to various forms of communicative success. One possibility to assess successful communication in non-task-oriented everyday conversations is through the participants’ perception of conversational quality. In this study we investigate whether a speaker’s degree of prosodic entrainment reflects the perceived conversational quality in dating conversations. Furthermore, we ask whether prosodic entrainment can influence the perceived conversational quality in return. Based on 98 spontaneous mixed-sex dating conversations we find that conversational quality has a significant effect on a speaker’s degree of pitch level entrainment. Furthermore, pitch entrainment also has a significant effect on how one’s interlocutor perceives the conversational quality. However, we find differences between the two effects which suggests that what a speaker does in reaction to increased perceived conversational quality is not necessarily what an interlocutor perceives as increased conversational quality. Accordingly, while we find a bidirectional influence of prosodic entrainment and perceived conversational quality, this connection is not reciprocal in nature.
Relationships between bacteria and heterotrophic nanoflagellates in lake water examined by different techniques controlling grazing pressure

ABSTRACT: A dialysis bags experiment, involving the use of natural water from eutrophic LakeMiko8ajskie (Mazurian Lake District, Poland), was performed to assess the impact of grazing pressureby heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF; <10 µm) on bacterial abundance, their size distribution, tax-onomic composition and activity measured by bacterial secondary production (BP) and the contribu-tion of active bacteria with an intact membrane (MEM+). Three different techniques—size-fraction-ation (<1.0 µm pore size), dilution (10×) and selective eukaryotic inhibition (cycloheximide andcolchicine)—were applied to control HNF grazing. There were significant differences in the effec-tiveness of grazing pressure limitation between the different techniques employed. The most distinctchanges in the bacterial community were found in the control and the 10× diluted treatments; in both,a considerable increase in HNF abundance was noted. In these 2 treatments, a significant decreasein both bacterial numbers and contribution of MEM+ cells, as well as an increase in the proportion ofbacterial filaments (up to 50 µm long), was observed. In contrast, the use of cycloheximide andcolchicine in combination resulted in the lowest and an almost constant HNF abundance. In addition,high numbers of bacteria with a large proportion of MEM+ cells (30 to 40%) and exponential increaseof bacterial secondary production were found. These results suggest that eukaryotic inhibition is themost useful method of limiting HNF grazing pressure and involves minimal manipulation of the watersample. Close relationships between bacteria and HNF confirm the crucial role of nanoflagellates inshaping bacterial abundance, morphology and activity.KEY WORDS: Bacteria · HNF · Grazing pressure · Dialysis bags · Filtration · Dilution · Eukaryotic inhibition
Exploring Disability Inclusion in Organizations through Managerial Lens

This article aims to investigate the factors affecting inclusion of people with disabilities in organizations and the influence of these factors on disability inclusion. A survey, using a pretested structured questionnaire, of managers has been administered to collect the data. The respondents, who have had experience of working with people with disability (PWD), were selected using the convenience sampling method. The total usable responses were 108. Factor analysis is used to identify the factors followed by logistic regression analysis to assess the impact of various factors on disability inclusion. The findings of the study suggest that top management commitment, inclusive culture, supportive workplace and disability-HRM fit are the major factors affecting the inclusion of disabled persons at workplace.
Fiscal Decentralization, Fiscal Rules and Fiscal Discipline

Fiscal decentralization (FD) and fiscal rules (FR) are institutional mechanisms that are implemented by varying degrees in increasing number of countries. This paper investigates empirically the effect of FR on the effectiveness of FD in achieving fiscal discipline. Panel evidence strongly supports that balanced budget and expenditure rules help FD to achieve this goal, while debt rule has a direct disciplinary effect.

A low‐relief shield volcano origin for the South Kaua‘i Swell

The South Kaua‘i Swell (SKS) is a 110 km x 80 km ovoid bathymetric feature that stands >2 km high and abuts the southern flank of the island of Kaua‘i. The origin of the SKS was investigated using multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter, gravity data, radiometric ages, and geochemistry of rock samples. Most of the SKS rock samples are tholeiitic in composition with ages of 3.9–5.4 Ma indicating they were derived from shield volcanism. The ages and compositions of the SKS rocks partially overlap with those of the nearby Ni‘ihau, Kaua‘i and West Ka‘ena volcano complexes. The SKS was originally described as a landslide; however, this interpretation is problematic given the ovoid shape of SKS, its relatively smooth, flat‐to‐convex surface, and the lack of an obvious source region that could accommodate what would be one of Earth's most voluminous (6 x 103 km3) landslides. The morphology, size, and the surrounding gravity anomaly are more consistent with the SKS being a low‐relief shield volcano, which was partially covered with a small volume of landside debris from south Kaua‘i and later with some secondary volcanic seamounts. A shield origin would imply that Hawaiian and possibly other hotspot shield volcanoes can take on a wider variety of forms than is commonly thought, ranging from tall island‐building shields, to smaller edifices such as Ka‘ena Ridge and Mahukona, to even lower‐relief volcanoes represented by the SKS and possibly the South West O‘ahu Volcanic Field.

Actant affordances: a brief history of affordance theory and a Latourian extension for education technology research

Affordance theory provides a useful lens to explore the action opportunities that arise between users and technology, especially in education. However developments in the theory have resulted both in confusion and misapplication, due partly to issues related to affordance theory’s ontology. This paper outlines two competing perspectives on affordances by Gibson and Norman, before arguing that Latour’s theory of ‘actants’ provides a useful middle way between these competing positions. This ‘actant affordance’ provides new opportunities for undertaking educational technology research that focuses on the network of negotiations taking place between actants (student, teacher, technology, pedagogy, etc.) rather than studying causality or simple binaries.

Mechanisms underlying exercise-induced modulation of hypertension

Hypertension is one of the most important risk factors of cardiovascular diseases with a high prevalence in developed countries. Hypertension develops as the results of several and simultaneously acting pathomechanisms. A recently appreciated/recognized condition is obesity, which is frequently associated with hypertension due to activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system, as well as sodium retention, but also increased glucose intolerance (in type 2 diabetes mellitus) are the underlying mechanisms. Another unavoidable and recently increasing risk factor is vascular aging leading to arterial remodeling (stiffening) causing isolated high systolic blood pressure. Aging process also leads to a reduced ability and efficiency of kidneys to excrete salt, resulting to a volume overload of the circulatory system affecting both systolic and diastolic pressures. Many of these alterations can be treated with pharmacological means, but in this review we aimed to summarize the potential beneficial effects of several exercise modalities, as well as the effects of physical activity and training programs on blood pressure both in normotensive and hypertensive individuals. The potential blood pressure lowering mechanisms of different exercise modalities and physical fitness programs are discussed, including neuro-hormonal mechanisms (decreasing serum catecholamine levels connected with the decrease of total peripheral resistance), the effects of exercise on vascular function (vasodilator and vasoconstrictor mechanisms) and structural adaptations, such as arterial remodeling (arterial stiffness, hemodynamic adaptations). Changes in coronary and skeletal muscle microcirculation, in myocardial remodeling and in various gene expressions are also discussed, as well as in addition to hypertension the exercise-induced modulation of several cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, dyslipidemia, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes mellitus, inflammation and oxidative stress) which interact with each other. The Frequency, Intensity, Type, and Time (FITT) principle of exercise prescription as powerful therapeutic approach which represents a translation of the results of cardiovascular basic science research into hypertension treatment is also presented.

Towards Full-Pipeline Handwritten OMR with Musical Symbol Detection by U-Nets

Detecting music notation symbols is the most immediate unsolved subproblem in Optical Music Recognition for musical manuscripts. We show that a U-Net architecture for semantic segmentation combined with a trivial detector already establishes a high baseline for this task, and we propose tricks that further improve detection performance: training against convex hulls of symbol masks, and multichannel output models that enable feature sharing for semantically related symbols. The latter is helpful especially for clefs, which have severe impacts on the overall OMR result. We then integrate the networks into an OMR pipeline by applying a subsequent notation assembly stage, establishing a new baseline result for pitch inference in handwritten music at an f-score of 0.81. Given the automatically inferred pitches we run retrieval experiments on handwritten scores, providing ﬁrst empirical evidence that utilizing the powerful image processing models brings content-based search in large musical manuscript archives within reach.
A Comparative Study and Analysis on Conventional Solar PV Based DC-DC Converters and MPPT Techniques

As electricity demand escalated with supply, though there are lot of thermal power station, nuclear energy and other conventional power sources. Yet, there is exhaustion in the above assets and adding dangerous impacts to the atmospheric conditions. The world searches for sustainable power source that it is normally accessible such as sun and wind. Apart from all the renewable energy resources, solar energy is readily harnessed for domestic application to meet demand. To increase the power conversion efficiency from the solar PV system it is better have a perfect DC to DC converters. The proposed outcome of this paper is to outline the DC to DC converter with MPPT algorithms to concentrate on extreme productivity at roof-top for solar PV application which decreases the cost of energy. In addition to that it also prevents panel miss matching at all environmental conditions for safer DC Voltage with flexible site design especially for domestic applications from the solar photovoltaic module. It is necessary to analyze the converters and MPPT algorithms under closed loop condition for the design and installation of solar PV system to the load or to the grid. This review summarizes few DC to DC converter topologies, maximum power point tracking algorithm and also paid attention on the advantages and disadvantages of these algorithms and topologies.
