Using Reddit data to investigate perspectives on the COVID-19 pandemic using natural language processing: a comparative study of the US, the UK, Canada and Australia (Preprint)
Authors: Hu Mengke , Conway Mike
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) on March 11, 2020, the disease has had an unprecedented impact worldwide, with, as of December 21, 2021, more than 276 million confirmed cases and 5.3 million deaths[1]. Social media such as Reddit can serve as a resource for enhancing situational awareness, particularly regarding monitoring public attitudes and behavior during the crisis. Insights gained can then be utilized to better understand public attitudes and behaviors during the COVID-19 crisis, and to support communication and health promotion messaging.

OBJECTIVE

With this work, we compare public attitudes towards the 2020/2021 COVID-19 pandemic across four predominantly English-speaking countries (the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia) using data derived from the social media platform Reddit.

METHODS

We utilized a natural language processing method called topic modeling (more specifically Latent Dirichlet Allocation). Topic modeling is a popular unsupervised learning technique that can be used to automatically in- fer topics (i.e. semantically-related categories) from a large corpus of text.
We derived our data from six country-specific, COVID-19-related subreddits (r/CoronavirusAustralia, r/CoronavirusDownunder, r/CoronavirusCanada, r/CanadaCoronavirus, r/CoronavirusUK, r/coronavirusus). We used topic modeling methods to investigate and compare topics of concern for each country.

RESULTS

From the Reddit data we found that (1) the volume of posting declined consistently across all four countries during the study period (Feb. 2020 to Nov. 2020); (2) during lockdown events, the volume of posts peaked; and (3) the UK and Australian subreddits contained much more policy discussion – and less conspiratorial content – than the US or Canadian subreddits.

CONCLUSIONS

This work demonstrated that (a) there were key differences between salient topics discussed across the four countries, and (b) Reddit data has the potential to provide insights not readily apparent in survey-based approaches.

BACKGROUND

Digital 3D total-body photography of the skin surface is an emerging imaging modality that can facilitate the identification of new and changing nevi.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to describe the experiences of study participants drawn from the general population who were provided 3D total-body photography and dermoscopy for the monitoring of nevi.

METHODS

A population-based prospective study of adults aged 20-70 years from South East Queensland, Australia was conducted. Participants underwent 3D total-body photography and dermoscopy every 6 months over a 3-year period. Participants were asked to provide closed and open-ended feedback on their 3D total-body photography and dermoscopy experience (eg, comfort, trust, intended future use, and willingness to pay) at the halfway study time point (18 months) and final study time point (36 months). We assessed changes in participants’ reported experience of 3D total-body photography, and patient characteristics associated with patient experience at the end of the study (36 months) were analyzed.

RESULTS

A total of 149 participants completed the surveys at both the 18- and 36-month time points (median age 55, range 23-70 years; n=94, 63.1% were male). At the 18-month time point, most participants (n=103, 69.1%) stated they completely trusted 3D total-body imaging for the diagnosis and monitoring of their nevi, and this did not change at the 36-month (n=104, 69.8%) time point. The majority of participants reported that they were very comfortable or comfortable with the technology at both the 18- (n=138, 92.6%) and 36-month (n=140, 94%) time points, respectively; albeit, the number of participants reporting that they were very comfortable reduced significantly between the 18- and 36-month time points, from 71.1% (n=106) to 61.1% (n=91; P=.01). Almost all participants (n=140, 94%) would consider using this technology if it were to become commercially available, and this did not change during the two study time points. Half of the participants (n=74) cited barriers to participating in 3D total-body photography, including trust in the ability of this technology to detect and monitor suspicious lesions, digital privacy, cost, and travel requirements.

CONCLUSIONS

The majority of participants expressed positive attitudes toward 3D total-body photography for the monitoring of their moles. Half of the participants identified potential barriers to uptake.
Eliciting Preferences for the Uptake of Smoking Cessation Apps: Discrete Choice Experiment (Preprint)
Authors: Szinay Dorothy , Cameron Rory A , Jones Andy , Whitty Jennifer A , Chadborn Tim , Brown Jamie , Naughton Felix
Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

If the most evidence-based and effective smoking cessation apps are not selected by smokers wanting to quit, their potential to support cessation is limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study sought to determine the attributes that influence smoking cessation app uptake and understand their relative importance to support future efforts to present evidence-based apps more effectively to maximize uptake.

METHODS

Adult smokers from the United Kingdom were invited to participate in a discrete choice experiment. Participants made 12 choices between two hypothetical smoking cessation app alternatives, with five predefined attributes reflecting domains from the theoretical domains framework: (1) monthly price of the app (environmental resources), (2) credible source as app developer (social influence), (3) social proof as star rating (social influence), (4) app description type (beliefs about consequences), and (5) images shown (beliefs about consequences); or opting out (choosing neither app). Preferences and the relative importance of attributes were estimated using mixed logit modeling. Willingness to pay and predicted uptake of the most and least preferred app were also calculated.

RESULTS

A total of 337 adult smokers completed the survey (n=168, 49.8% female; mean age 35, SD 11 years). Participants selected a smoking cessation app rather than opting out for 90% of the choices. Relative to other attributes, a 4.8-star user rating, representing social proof, was the strongest driver of app selection (mean preference parameter 2.27, SD 1.55; 95% CI 1.95-2.59). Participants preferred an app developed by health care–orientated trusted organization (credible source) over a hypothetical company (mean preference parameter 0.93, SD 1.23; 95% CI 0.72-1.15), with a logo and screenshots over logo only (mean preference parameter 0.39, SD 0.96; 95% CI 0.19-0.59), and with a lower monthly cost (mean preference parameter –0.38, SD 0.33; 95% CI –0.44 to –0.32). App description did not influence preferences. The uptake estimate for the best hypothetical app was 93% and for the worst, 3%. Participants were willing to pay a single payment of up to an additional US $6.96 (UK £5.49) for 4.8-star ratings, US $3.58 (UK £2.82) for 4-star ratings, and US $2.61(UK £2.06) for an app developed by a trusted organization.

CONCLUSIONS

On average, social proof appeared to be the most influential factor in app uptake, followed by credible source, one perceived as most likely to provide evidence-based apps. These attributes may support the selection of evidence-based apps.

Published: March 2022

BACKGROUND

The Omicron variant of SARS-CoV-2 is more transmissible than prior variants of concern (VOCs). It has caused the largest outbreaks in the pandemic, with increases in mortality and hospitalizations. Early data on the spread of Omicron were captured in countries with relatively low case counts, so it was unclear how the arrival of Omicron would impact the trajectory of the pandemic in countries already experiencing high levels of community transmission of Delta.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to quantify and explain the impact of Omicron on pandemic trajectories and how they differ between countries that were or were not in a Delta outbreak at the time Omicron occurred.

METHODS

We used SARS-CoV-2 surveillance and genetic sequence data to classify countries into 2 groups: those that were in a Delta outbreak (defined by at least 10 novel daily transmissions per 100,000 population) when Omicron was first sequenced in the country and those that were not. We used trend analysis, survival curves, and dynamic panel regression models to compare outbreaks in the 2 groups over the period from November 1, 2021, to February 11, 2022. We summarized the outbreaks in terms of their peak rate of SARS-CoV-2 infections and the duration of time the outbreaks took to reach the peak rate.

RESULTS

Countries that were already in an outbreak with predominantly Delta lineages when Omicron arrived took longer to reach their peak rate and saw greater than a twofold increase (2.04) in the average apex of the Omicron outbreak compared to countries that were not yet in an outbreak.

CONCLUSIONS

These results suggest that high community transmission of Delta at the time of the first detection of Omicron was not protective, but rather preluded larger outbreaks in those countries. Outbreak status may reflect a generally susceptible population, due to overlapping factors, including climate, policy, and individual behavior. In the absence of strong mitigation measures, arrival of a new, more transmissible variant in these countries is therefore more likely to lead to larger outbreaks. Alternately, countries with enhanced surveillance programs and incentives may be more likely to both exist in an outbreak status and detect more cases during an outbreak, resulting in a spurious relationship. Either way, these data argue against herd immunity mitigating future outbreaks with variants that have undergone significant antigenic shifts.

Published: March 2022

Optimizing the cost situation is part of everyday business in a company. The research field of controlling has developed many instruments and methods for calculating potential savings and communicating them to the decision-makers. In the future, in order for companies to operate more sustainably it is necessary to weigh up optimization measures from an economic and environmental point of view. This paper proposes to supplement controlling reports with a matrix opposing economic and environmental impacts by individual optimization measures. This reporting method should assist decision-makers in the selection of optimization measures, taking into account economic and environmental aspects. LCA and LCC based evaluation of a biotechnological process step for glycoside production served as a case study. An example for impact presentation of switching to a sustainable electricity mix is shown.

Рассмотрена проблема улучшения прочностных свойств полимерных композитных материалов на основе ровинга из базальтовых комплексных нитей и эпоксидного связующего. Исследованы физико-механические характеристики базальтокомпозитов, а также возможности их модификации путем введения в исследуемый материал многослойных углеродных нанотрубок (МУНТ) и радиационного воздействия разных доз гамма-облучения. Приведены результаты экспериментов как для связующего материала, так и базальтокомпозита в целом. Установлено, что предел прочности при сжатии образцов из эпоксидного связующего ЭДТ-10П благодаря комплексной модификации за счет гамма-облучения и внедрения МУНТ повышается более чем на 20%. Результаты исследования предела прочности и модуля упругости кольцевых образцов из базальтопластика, подвергнутых наномодификации и гамма-облучению, показали рост прочностных характеристик при определенных дозах облучения в пределах 10—15%. Сделаны предположения, объясняющие возникновение эффекта упрочнения, связанного с изменением межмолекулярного взаимодействия под действием потока гамма-квантов.

Los psicólogos que se dedican a la atención de personas diagnosticadas con VIH es necesario que cuenten con una actitud favorable hacia el trabajo profesional que impacte en una mejor atención; además es necesario que como profesionales de la salud, también tengan un comportamiento sexual saludable, de tal manera que haya congruencia entre lo que hace y lo que transmite como profesional. Con base en lo anterior, se tienen dos objetivos: (1) conocer el nivel de conocimientos sobre VIH/SIDA, creencias y uso del condón en relaciones sexuales estudiantes de psicología; y (2) conocer su percepción sobre VIH y del trabajo profesional con personas diagnosticadas con VIH. Se evaluó a 439 estudiantes de psicología, en términos generales se encontró que tienen un nivel aceptable de conocimientos sobre VIH, pero no sobre el uso del condón; tienen creencias favorables hacia su uso, pero no implica que sean consistentes en su uso; también se encontró una valoración positiva hacia la atención de personas con VIH. Se discute en términos de la importancia de formar a los estudiantes sobre la importancia de su salud sexual y en cómo trabajar con personas con VIH.

Published: March 2022

This paper aims to examine the direct effect of the HEXACO personality traits on entrepreneurial intention and career adaptability, the indirect effect of personality traits on entrepreneurial intention through career adaptability, and the direct effect of career adaptability on entrepreneurial intention. A 55-item questionnaire was employed to measure the personality traits of HEXACO, career adaptability, and entrepreneurial intention. The study sample includes more than half of the students of the business department (n = 485) of a public university based in Athens. The results indicate that extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness have a direct and positive impact on entrepreneurial intention, while emotionality has a negative one. Also, career adaptability relates positively to entrepreneurial intention. Openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and humility affect positively career adaptability. Finally, it is indicated that openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and humility have an indirect and positive relationship with entrepreneurial intention through career adaptability. The data were empirically tested using the Jamovi program that uses the R code for designing the analysis (Rosseel, 2019). These findings suggest the need for more studies that will investigate the validity of the findings presented here in different settings (McKenna, Zacher, Ardabili, & Mohebbi, 2016; Brännback & Carsrud, 2018).

Elemental and biochemical nutrient limitation of zooplankton: a meta-analysis
Authors: Thomas Patrick , Kunze Charlotte , Waal Dedmer Van de , Hillebrand Helmut , Striebel Maren
Published: March 2022

Primary consumers in aquatic ecosystems are frequently limited by the
quality of their food, often expressed as phytoplankton elemental and
biochemical composition. Effects of these food quality indicators vary
across studies, and the relative importance of elemental (nitrogen and
phosphorus) versus biochemical (fatty acid and sterol) limitation in
aquatic food webs has been debated. Here we present results of a
meta-analysis using >100 experimental studies, which
confirms that limitation by N, P, essential fatty acids, and sterols all
have significant negative effects on zooplankton performance. However,
effects varied by grazer response (growth versus reproduction), specific
manipulation, and across taxa. P limitation had greater effects on
zooplankton growth than fatty acids, but P and fatty acid limitation had
equal effects on reproduction. Furthermore, we show that nutrient
co-limitation in zooplankton occurs, that indirect effects induced by P
limitation exceed direct effects of mineral P limitation, that effects
of nutrient amendments using laboratory phytoplankton isolates exceed
those using natural field communities, and that algal physiology
mediates zooplankton responses to nutrient limitation. Our meta-analysis
reconciles contrasting views about the role of various food quality
indicators, and their interactions, for zooplankton performance, and
provides a mechanistic understanding on how environmental change affects
trophic transfer.
Tax Evasion and Fraud in the United States Sex Market
Authors:   Dale Consulting, L.L.C., Dale Youngbee
Published: March 2022

This study describes tax evasion or fraud in the United States sex market. Prior to this study, scholars have recognized the problem of tax evasion in the commercial sex market as an obstacle to national revenue collection. Tax violation and fraud investigations also are ways to combat the illegal commercial sex industry. However, no studies have focused on the problem in the United States sex market. Hence, this study aims to describe tax evasion or fraud methods used by the criminals operating in the United States sex market. This study relies on both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the problem. This study documents and describes U.S. federal and local cases of tax evasion and prostitution-related activities. This study argues that many victims and survivors of commercial sexual exploitation do not receive restitution even after their perpetrators’ prosecution. Therefore, this study recommends that law enforcement proactively investigates all criminals committing tax evasion or fraud in the U.S. sex market. It also recommends that law enforcement seizes all criminals’ illicit assets and uses them for anti-trafficking efforts and resources for survivors and victims.
The Management of Government Projects in Nigeria: A Case Study of Fertilizer Procurement and Distribution to Farmers in Nigeria
Authors:   , Gwa Jacob
Published: March 2022

This study examines the optimisation of supply chain flows for nationally important agricultural products in the developing world, with a particular focus on fertilizer procurement and distribution to farmers in Nigeria. As a farmer in Nigeria who had experienced difficulties with access to inputs, the author was keen to see an effective supply chain system where agricultural produce moved easily and cheaply to the market without affecting its quality, which rarely happened. Later, as an agricultural expert, the author offered support for the development of agricultural products and its supply chain but was frustrated by a lack of infrastructure and unclear policies. This suggested a dysfunctional supply chain, deserving further investigation, from personal interest, and because of its national significance for food production, and importance to individual farmers and their survival. A review of literature identified a gap in the research on supply chain performance of critical agricultural products in the developing world. A qualitative method was employed, and key stakeholders in the programme from the six regions in Nigeria were interviewed in order to gain a better understanding of their experiences. Data was collected, analysed and interpreted using a thematic approach which yielded the following themes; substandard packaging, acts of corruption, ineffective stock management, insecurity of material control, unsatisfactory project management and access to finance. The findings were discussed and triangulated using resource dependence, transaction cost, systems and network theories to establish an in-depth understanding of the programme performance and the reasons for its sub-optimisation, the most significant of which was insecurity of material control. This investigation of a previously unstudied and significant real-world problem and its findings may be of value and interest to stakeholders in the programme. Future research could apply comparative or mixed method studies on this and related topics in agriculture and healthcare supply chains in Nigeria and other countries.

Published: March 2022

Space tourism is considered as a type of tourism that is becoming increasingly significant and is expected to be in greater demand in the future. Therefore, the aim is to analyse the posters on space tourism created by NASA via semiotic analysis, a strategy of data analysis. In accordance with the set objective, a document analysis technique was used. Since the fourteen posters used for the study were created by NASA, a major organization in the field of space, it was selected as an appropriate sample. The space tourism posters identified in the study were analysed through the model developed by Ferdinand de Saussure and Roland Barthes. Each indicator showed that the utopian posters were closely related to the types of tourism. In addition, the indicators led to the conclusion that individual and mass tourism movements related to space can be carried out by people of all ages, that in the future it will no longer be luxury tourism, and that transportation will be carried out by various means of transport, and in accordance with these conclusions, suggestions were made for tourism businesses.

Günümüzde toplumun demografik ve sosyolojik açıdan yaşadığı değişimler, bireyselliği ön plana çıkarmıştır. Bunun turizme yansıması, yalnız seyahat edenlerin sayısındaki ciddi artış olmuştur. Tercihen ya da yalnızlıktan tek başına tatile çıkan insanlar, destinasyonda farklı bir sosyal çevreyle karşılaşmakta ve yeni insanlarla iletişime geçmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, yalnız gezen turistlerin seyahatleri sırasında kimlerle, nasıl, niçin, nerede iletişime geçtiğini ve bu iletişimin kendilerine ve seyahat deneyimlerine ne gibi bir etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda, yalnız gezen 16 kişi ile yüz yüze mülakatlar yapılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler, içerik analizine tabi tutulmuş, 4 ana ve 18 alt kategori oluşturulmuştur. Yalnız gezen turist profili ve davranışları, iletişimin türü ve yapısı, iletişimin önündeki engeller ve iletişimin etkisi incelenmiştir. Görüşmeler sonucunda, insanların çoğunlukla özgürlük ve yeni şeyler keşfetme motivasyonuyla tek başına seyahate çıktıkları; bilgi, tavsiye, yardım, merak, sosyalleşme ve stresten kaçınma gibi sebeplerle iletişime geçtikleri belirlenmiştir. Yabancı dil ve kültür farkı gibi iletişimi engelleyen faktörler bulunsa da olumlu iletişimin turistin kişisel gelişimine, seyahat deneyimine ve destinasyon algısına katkıda bulunduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Formas de producción en el cine español. Los remakes participados por Telecinco Cinema
Authors: Jiménez Alcarria Francisco , Mejón Ana
Published: March 2022

La producción de remakes en el cine constituye una práctica de carácter transnacional especialmente presente en las cinematografías norteamericana y europeas. Del mismo modo, la adquisición de derechos para adaptar una película de un mercado doméstico a otro infiere un especial interés para los estudios tanto de representación multicultural como de los flujos de producción internacionales. La presente investigación explora desde una perspectiva industrial las películas participadas por la productora Telecinco Cinema que han sido desarrolladas bajo la fórmula del remake en el último lustro (2017-2021). En concreto, las producciones estudiadas son Perfectos desconocidos (Álex de la Iglesia, 2017), Lo dejo cuando quiera (Carlos Therón, 2019), Si yo fuera rico (Álvaro Fernández Armero, 2019) y Operación Camarón (Carlos Therón, 2021). Los resultados hallados reflejan un mayor éxito de los remakes de Telecinco Cinema en las salas españolas que el de sus obras de origen, así como una preferencia por la adaptación de comedias procedentes, principalmente, de Italia.
Salve-te, Strela do mar: himnodia y mariología en las Cantigas de Santa María de Alfonso X el Sabio
Authors: Disalvo Santiago
Published: March 2022

Además de los miracula marianos de tradición clerical latina, otro tipo de literatura está entretejido en los versos de las Cantigas de Santa María, de Alfonso X el Sabio. Si bien son producto de una novedosa creatividad poética en romance, estos textos dejan oír claramente las voces de un universo doctrinal teológico y mariológico y, especialmente, los ecos de la himnodia litúrgica. Como demostración de este fenómeno, se estudian la cantiga de loor 180 y la cantiga narrativa 288.

Pensar el Códice de Florencia de las Cantigas de Santa María. Algunas valoraciones sobre su construcción y deconstrucción
Authors: Fernández Fernández Laura
Published: March 2022

El Códice de Florencia (BNCF BR 20) es el resultado de la manipulación, sustracción y reordenación de los folios de uno de los manuscritos de las Cantigas de Santa María de Alfonso X. Dicho manuscrito fue planteado en una cronología avanzada para recoger dos nuevos centenares de cantigas siguiendo las mismas pautas de composición y diseño que el llamado Códice Rico (RBME Ms. T-I-1). El fallecimiento del monarca en 1284 interrumpió su realización y parte de sus materiales quedaron sin concluir. Años más tarde sus folios fueron reordenados y algunas de sus iluminaciones completadas, dando lugar al manuscrito que hoy conocemos con ese sobrenombre. El análisis de su estructura nos permite profundizar en el estudio del cancionero alfonsí así como clarificar algunas de las singularidades de este códice.

Published: March 2022

Este artigo objetivou estudar a questão da identidade no processo de desenvolvimento territorial em Benin, um país multiétnico como a maioria dos países africanos, em que a polarização da identidade, cuja etnia e regionalismo são elementos estruturantes da ação sócio-política neste país. A base teórica desta pesquisa ancora-se nos conceitos de diversidade, etnia e desenvolvimento. Como metodologia, este estudo é de abordagem qualitativa, de natureza descritiva e a coleta de dados foi por meio de análise documental. A constituição beninense de 11/12/1990, reafirma a natureza unitária do país, exigindo a integração da sociedade em sua identidade tripla (étnica, regional, nacional). Porém, a diversidade étnica, embora benéfica, continua sendo fonte de problemas dentro da comunidade. Assim, em termos de desenvolvimento territorial em Benin, este artigo, ao destacar os fatores favoráveis dessa diversidade, também apresenta seus limites ao propor possíveis soluções para uma diversidade sócio étnica mais benéfica para o país.

Lateral squeezing effects on cement-slag-bentonite slurry wall performance
Authors: Talefirouz Davood , Çokça Erdal
Published: March 2022

Abstract in English

Cement-slag-bentonite slurry walls are self-hardening structures, and they are mainly used to retard contamination transport into the groundwater stream. Whilst permeability of a mixture is an initial criterion in slurry wall design and material selection, long-term performance is mainly influenced by curing ages and stress-state caused by adjacent soil. In this study, the steady-state of effective stresses at 7 days and 28 days of curing age is predicted. The effect of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction, interface friction, and transition of the earth pressure from at-rest to the active condition was applied to develop the model. Unlike the quantities that the geostatic model presented, this method gives a slight decrease of stresses after a certain depth, and the trend is in good agreement with trends provided by previous studies. Furthermore, the predicted stresses are then applied to estimate the permeability of the wall at each depth and compare it with those obtained in the laboratory. Finally, predicted effective stresses stay lower than geostatic stress, and the slurry wall consolidation along with the sidewalls’ lateral squeezing leads to keeping the stress state under control.
