Students’ and facilitators’ experiences with synchronous and asynchronous online dialogic discussions and e-facilitation in understanding the Nature of Science

The existing literature lacks a precise understanding of how online facilitation and dialogic discussions can positively impact students’ comprehension of the Nature of Science (NoS). This study delves into the experiences of students and facilitators engaged in synchronous and asynchronous online dialogic discussions and e-facilitation to enhance our understanding of NoS. An innovative experiment employed a digital dialogue game to engage postgraduate students in a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) secondary science course. The participants included sixty-five PGCE science students and three lecturers specializing in different science disciplines (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology). Qualitative data collection methods and analysis, including transcripts of online discussions about NoS topics, were followed by critical event recall interviews to identify specific online dialogue events that significantly contributed to the comprehension of NoS. The findings contribute significantly to comprehending students’ processes in grasping complex and debatable topics such as Nature of Science (NoS) within online dialogic discussions supported by e-facilitation. They emphasize the importance of establishing an open and expansive dialogic space, with a focus on the crucial roles of e-facilitators. The results also highlight a tension between active and passive roles in both synchronous and asynchronous online discussions. Additionally, the study sheds light on the influence of space, time, and texts in understanding NoS through e-facilitated online dialogic discussions. Notably, the research emphasizes the live chat room’s significance within Interloc, accentuating its role as a social space fostering a sense of community and a safe environment for inquiry in online dialogue which supported understanding NoS.

HYPERBOLIC EXPRESSIONS AMONG NEWLY MOTHERS IN TEXT-BASED VIRTUAL COMMUNICATION

The present study examined the use of hyperbolic expressions in a text-based virtual communication context, specifically in an Indonesian newly mothers’ online chat room. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze 60 utterances containing hyperbolic expressions taken from the Mom Sharing WhatsApp group. Simak and catat methods were implemented to observe and take notes on the hyperbolic expressions used by the mothers identified based on McCarthy & Carter’s (2004) characterization. The collected data were then categorized into 7 forms of hyperbole proposed by Claridge (2010), and the possible functions behind the use of this figurative language were analyzed qualitatively based on the overall contexts. Results reveal that 6 forms of hyperbole were used in the chat room, namely single-word hyperbole, phrasal hyperbole, clausal hyperbole, numerical hyperbole, the role of superlative, and comparison. Furthermore, the expressions were found to serve various functions, namely to express emotions, to concretize the message and evoke imagination, to create humour, and to establish group identity. These findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on the use of hyperbole in everyday communication.

Electronic Sexual Harassment Crimes in the Jordanian Penal Legislation

The negative use of modern electronic means has led to the emergence of a new type of crime. It is committed in an electronic environment, including crimes that constitute an outrageous sexual assault on the victim's body, which requires a legislative response. The descriptive and analytical approach is used in this paper. The study showed that protecting the body from every illegal sexual practice is the interest that the law aims to protect when it intervenes in criminalization and punishment. The criminal touches the body of the victim without his/her consent by extending to his private parts or revealing them. The study concluded that the Jordanian Cybercrime Law punished sexual exploitation crimes committed against children and the psychologically and mentally handicapped. It is devoid of any special and explicit text criminalizing the act of sexual harassment committed by electronic means such as chat rooms and electronic social networking sites. Under Article 15 of the same law, the criminalization of these crimes can be subject to the legal model of the crime of sexual harassment contained in the Penal Code.

The influence of Customer Expectation, Perceived Enjoyment, Perceived Ease of Use, and customer satisfaction on Repurchase Intention of vidio.com Streaming Service Providers

Objective: This research was conducted to find out whether Customer expectation (EXP), user satisfaction (SAT), Perceived Enjoyment (PE), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU) influence each other and also influence repurchase intention (RPI) on the Vidio.com streaming service site. This research is modified because it uses an existing theory but uses a different object. Methods: This study used a quantitative method using questionnaires. This study has a population of 34.052 (thirty four thousand fifty two) Telkom University students and the questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 379 (three hundred seventy nine) Telkom University students using a purposive sampling. The analytical method used is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) that based on variance (partial least squares). Results: The research results obtained show that customer expectation and customer expectation have a positive and significant influence on perceived ease of use partially. Customer expectation, perceived enjoyment, and perceived ease of use have a positive and significant influence on satisfaction partially. Perceived ease of use has a positive and significant influence on perceived enjoyment. Satisfaction and perceived enjoyment have a positive and significant influence on repurchase intention partially. But perceived ease of use does not have positively and significant influence on repurchase intention. Conclusions: The vidio.com site provider must continue to improve service quality, product quality and site design quality to meet customer expectations, increase perceived enjoyment, provide its own chat room, provide better and newest products, and also maintain good relations with consumers so that consumers will feel satisfied and interested in making repeat purchases. For future researchers who want to research the same material, they should add or replace several variables such as perceived usefulness, perceived quality, perceived emotional value, perceived social value, etc, and also change the broader research object so that they can find out the factors that can influence consumer repurchase intention for a product or service.

Implementing Assessment as Learning in Online EFL Writing Classes

This article describes the implementation of assessment as learning (AaL) in an online English-as-a-foreign-language (EFL) writing course at a university in China. The authors observed that challenges from the university administration and students were found when integrating AaL into face-to-face writing classrooms, including failure to offer prompt feedback due to the packed course syllabus and large class sizes as well as students’ low engagement due to insufficient English ability, shyness, or prior learning experience. An online teaching innovation was therefore made to tackle these problems. Key steps of the online AaL-focused writing process included (1) establishment of writing goals with peers and teachers through forums on the learning management system (LMS) and live-broadcasting platforms, (2) instructional scaffolding of genre knowledge and writing strategies via videos and quizzes on the LMS before writing, (3) self-assessment, peer-assessment and teacher feedback via online document editors and online chat rooms during writing, and (4) self-reflection via online worksheets on the LMS after writing. Data including a post-course survey and student interviews showed that the online formative assessment practices facilitated the implementation of AaL strategies and improved students’ learning by offering timely focused feedback, creating personalized learning experiences, and encouraging learner engagement. Implications for applying AaL in a blended EFL writing classroom during the post-pandemic era are discussed.

Personality Traits and Psychiatric Comorbidities in Individuals with Internet Use Disorder - A Cross-sectional Study

Abstract Aim: The aim is to evaluate the association of personality traits, online activities, and psychiatric comorbidities with the Internet use disorder. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 481 professional college students (18–25 years) pursuing graduation. Participants responded to an online questionnaire consisting of Young’s Internet addiction test, Internet Gaming Disorder scale-short form, Big Five inventory and behavioral inhibition system/behavioral activation system scales (BIS/BAS) scales, and subsequent in-clinic evaluation using MINI 7.0.2 questionnaire. Results: Of 481 college students, 175 (36.38%) had Internet use disorder. Of these, 115 were found to have mild, 57 moderate, and 3 severe Internet use disorders with a mean age of 20.85 ± 1.84 years and sex ratio of M:F: 0.9:1. The prevalence of Internet gaming disorder was found to be 0.42%. On multivariate logistic regression, use of chat rooms (odds ratio [OR] - 1.24), instant messaging (OR - 1.33), Internet gaming (OR - 1.25), and recreational surfing (OR - 1.25) were independent predictors for Internet use disorder. Among the personality traits, on multivariate logistic regression, neuroticism (OR - 1.06) and openness to experience (OR - 1.09) were positive predictors for the presence of Internet use disorder and moderate–severe Internet use, while conscientiousness (OR - 0.87) was negative predictor. 19.4% (34/175) of students had psychiatric comorbidities (1 comorbidity – 21 students, >1 comorbidities – 13 students); the most common being major depression (alone or in combination). Conclusions: In this study, neuroticism and openness to experience were found to be predictors of Internet use disorder as well as moderate–severe Internet use. In addition, the use of chat rooms, instant messaging, online gaming, and recreational surfing was associated with higher Internet use disorder. A large proportion of psychiatric comorbidities with Internet use disorder were found.

온라인 구전의 개념적 고찰

With the advent of the digital age, connectivity between customers increases, and the rapid development of electronic communication has led consumers to gain access to their reviews, on products and services on various channels (business official websites, online communities, newsgroups, chat rooms, email, blog, virtual customer communities and other social networks). The influence of online word of mouth is much more powerful than traditional WOM. The exchange of such information among consumers is not a new phenomenon, but the Internet has dramatically improved the interaction of consumers, especially within social networking sites (Schindler & Bickart, 2012).

Perceived needs for mobile interventions among Spanish language Latino family caregivers of persons living with dementia

AbstractBackgroundSupportive and caregiver skills programs for Spanish language Latino caregivers of persons living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (SLDCs) have been developed and researched primarily using in‐person delivery. However, in‐person interventions are limited by scalability constraints due to barriers such as time, cost of travel to intervention sites, and COVID‐19 containment measures. There is a tremendous need for caregiver interventions for SLDCs that can be delivered remotely by smartphone, the most accessible means for SLDCs to connect to the internet. A mobile application combining caregiver skills literacy, stress reduction tools, and chat‐based support groups might help fill this gap. However, whether SLDCs perceive a need for such an application is unclear. This research aimed to assess perceived needs and preferences for mobile intervention among SLDCsMethodWe conducted two virtual focus groups with 12 SLDCs (aged 37 to 87, 83% female) from the Greater Boston area to determine preferences for smartphone‐based intervention. Participants answered semi‐structured questions during the group and completed questionnaires individually regarding smartphone application usage. Topics included needs for caregiver skills, relaxation tools, and chat‐based social support. Data analysis was conducted with an inductive and deductive mixed‐methods approach.ResultOpinions regarding the potential utility of a smartphone application that would combine caregiver skills, relaxation tools, and a smartphone chat for SLDCs were positive and demonstrated that such an application would serve unmet needs. Although only one participant had previously used a caregiver literacy app, all SLDCs expressed a desire to receive caregiver skills resources via mobile application. While just two (16.7%) had utilized a relaxation app, six (50%) felt that having access to relaxation instructions would be beneficial. Finally, an unmet social support need was identified, which caregivers felt would be possible to meet through chatroom‐based functionalities. Several participants felt the chat room would require facilitation by someone with expertise in dementia caregiving.ConclusionA mobile intervention could help meet the needs of SLDCs for caregiver skills, relaxation training, and social support. Further studies using participatory research should focus on the development and feasibility of a mobile application that provides these features.

Implementation Chatbot on Discord for Information Assistance and Conflict Prevention

Discord, which was originally created for the gamer community, can now be found used by hobby groups and communities that are used for shared learning purposes. But the downside is the gamer culture that comes with it. Rude and toxic words that are synonymous with the gamer community should be avoided in study group communities. Meanwhile, the facilities for minimizing harsh and toxic words are still limited to word filters that can be tricked so that they can still be sent to the chat room. This can trigger conflict and interfere with learning activities together. This paper proposed an information assistance chatbot that is able to answer question, and conflict prevention with detection toxic sentences using pre-processing from NLP (Natural Language Processing) and text classification so that the chatbot is able to limit toxic sentences a little more accurately than the word filter feature alone. Also, Chatbots are given the ability to determine the value / level of toxic conversations so that they are had been able to determine the punishment action to be carried out by warning, suspending, or even being issued for the most severe cases. In addition, by looking at the frequency of sending messages from several senders, which indicates toxic, it was able to determine when the conflict occurs. The result shows that chatbot can work fine to answer question and detecting toxic include do punishment to toxic sender. With 10% error on detecting conflict and 30% error on answer question. That 30% error false positive on make an answer that should not be answered.

Let’s Chat… When Communication Promotes Efficiency in Experimental Asset Markets

The growing prevalence of stock market chat rooms and social media suggests that communication between traders may affect market outcomes. Using data from a series of laboratory experiments, we study the causal effect of trader communication on market efficiency. We show that communication allows markets to convey private information more effectively. This effect is robust to a wide range of information settings. The presence of insiders limits the impact, whereas posted reputation scores in the communication platform magnify it. These findings illustrate the need to consider social interactions when designing market institutions to leverage the social motives that foster information aggregation. This paper was accepted by Axel Ockenfels, behavioral economics & decision analysis. Supplemental Material: The e-companion and data are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4967 .

Abstract 13732: A Mobile Intervention to Support Self-Care of Patients With Coronary Artery Disease: Preliminary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Although cardiac rehabilitation is beneficial to all patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), due to the cost implications, such services are confined to those with an acute coronary event or heart failure exacerbation, which limits their accessibility and scalability. Hypothesis: Patients with CAD who receive the internet-based CArdiac Rehabilitation Enhancement (i-CARE) intervention would report better changes in self-care, functional status, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and physiological biomarkers than those who receive usual care. Aims: This randomized controlled trial aimed to examine the effects of the i-CARE intervention on self-care behaviors, functional status, HRQoL, blood pressure, waist-to-height ratio and cholesterol level in patients with CAD. Methods: CAD patients were recruited in the cardiac clinic of two hospitals in Hong Kong. The intervention consisted of a single face-to-face orientation session and a mobile app consisting of three key user interfaces, including a self-monitoring dashboard with personalized interface according to their own risk profile, an interactive e-library covering various CAD-related self-care dimensions and a chat room for the nurse to provide continuous coaching. The control group received usual care. Results: A total of 132 patients with CAD were randomly allocated to the intervention (n = 68) or control group (n = 64). Compared to the control group, the intervention group showed greater improvements in self-care behaviors (β = 5.532, 95% CI: 1.735 - 14.241, p = 0.012), functional status (β = 2.235, 95% CI: 1.092 - 8.286, p = 0.033), HRQoL (β = 6.135, 95% CI: 1.830 - 12.843, p = 0.012), and blood pressure control (β = 12.584, 95% CI: 10.050 - 29.221, p = 0.041) at 12 weeks follow-up. No significant changes in cholesterol level and waist-to-height ratio were found. Conclusions: The i-Care intervention improves self-care behaviors, HRQoL, functional status and blood pressure control in patients with CAD. It is warranted to examine the longer-term effects of the i-CARE intervention.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND HUMANITY

The phenomenon of the cognitive revolution in the field of artificial intelligence is considered. It turned out that large language models, taking into account auxiliary systems-plugins, already significantly exceeded the intellectual capabilities of not only average intellectuals, but in general the intellectual capabilities of a significant number of specialists in most fields of activity. The analogy of these transformations with the processes of emergence of the second signal system of humanity is shown. People's fears are connected not only with their removal from jobs in most industries, but also with the possibility of a revolution of robots, which are generally able to push humanity to the sidelines. Although among the elites, who no longer meet modern requirements, there are many supporters of using artificial intelligence for enrichment, creating new weapons, and solving infrastructure problems. Recently, there has been an active discussion in the scientific community and government circles about threats to humanity from artificial intelligence (AI). There are fears that artificial intelligence may put too many people out of work too quickly, and chat rooms like ChatGPT and Bard may spread inaccurate or misinformation, violate copyright, generate fakes in both audio and video formats. Other thoughts and suggestions to do a pause in scientific research on AI. At first glance, this does not bother us so much, let civilization develop in the direction of using new opportunities. But history teaches us. Look at how people are not very rational with atomic energy, chemistry, genetics and pharmacopoeia, where it is difficult but necessary to create restrictions and safeguards. Until humanity learns to create a new type of elite, which would be able to carefully and carefully approach the use of the achievements of progress, all these safeguards will be ineffective. The problem intersects with insufficient efforts in scientific and applied fields not so much in artificial intelligence, but rather in sociology, attempts to find answers in the future (futurism) and in political science.

Farm Friendly Chat Bot

This study presents the development of a chat room and a chatbot designed to facilitate discussions on prevalent farming issues among peers and experts. Its primary aim is to provide timely support to farmers in making informed decisions about their farming practices. To create a structured framework for these conversations, a standardized set of questions was formulated through consultations and surveys involving farmers, experts, and other stakeholders. The questions were analyzed to extract 'intents,' representing the specific information or assistance users might seek, and 'examples,' which are concrete instances users provide to express their particular intent. Additionally, 'entities' were identified to represent distinct objects or concepts related to these intents. The model was trained using the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) to predict the intent based on the provided examples. This training process enhances the chatbot's ability to understand and respond to user queries effectively. Furthermore, the chatbot was deployed on a cloud platform, reducing the computational resources required on the client end. This approach ensures accessibility and usability for a broader user base without significant hardware constraints.

It’s a joke, not a dick. So don’t take it too hard”: online sexual harassment in Indian universities

ABSTRACT Recently, while there has been some attention to the issues online harassment in higher education, the impacts of online sexual harassment have been lost within the broader focus. There is negligible research looking at these specific experiences within Indian universities. To address this gap, this paper explores three different but interconnected forms of online sexual harassment—image-based sexual abuse, online chat rooms, and trolling in the context of Indian universities. Following the works of Liz Kelly (1987) and Clare McGlynn, Erika Rackley and Ruth Houghton (2017), this paper establishes the importance of understanding online sexual harassment as a continuum of other forms of offline sexual violence having physical, mental, and financial impacts on survivors, deeply affecting their sense of safety. In doing so, this paper attempts to develop a materialist understanding of online sexual harassment in Indian universities in turn demonstrating the confluence of India’s patriarchal and casteist society and an authoritarian state who use technology as a powerful disciplining tool to push women and queer people out of digital public spaces. This research attempts to establish that this disciplining and silencing of women and queer people are essential for the spread of both techno-capitalism and Brahmanical Hindutva nationalism.

HIV in MOTION: a community of practice on physical rehabilitation for and by people living with HIV and their allies.

This paper describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of a community of practice (CoP), HIV in MOTION (HIM), to advance physical activity rehabilitation interventions with adults living with HIV, clinicians, researchers, and representatives from community-based organizations. We attracted a diverse audience of geographically dispersed people living with HIV, clinicians, exercise personnel, and trainees to eight HIM community of practice events that featured the clinical, research, and lived experience of people living with HIV. HIV in MOTION had (a) a domain related to physical rehabilitation, exercise, and social participation for people living with HIV; (b) a community of diverse individuals; and (c) a practice, that is, a series of sustained interactions online and offline, synchronous, and asynchronous. Our team included six diverse people living with HIV, two coordinators, and three academic researchers who planned, prepared, implemented, and evaluated each online session. To evaluate the HIV in MOTION CoP, we employed an evaluation framework composed of five criteria: Goals and Scope, Context and Structure, Process and Activities, Outcomes, and Impact. We collected quantitative and qualitative evaluative data using online evaluation, audiovisual archiving, and participant observations during the debriefing with all members of our team. We widened the Goals and Scope of the HIV in MOTION CoP to include the HIV narrative of lived experiences, including autopathography, and participant storytelling. In matters of Context and Structure, we received explicit satisfaction with our governance and leadership. Also, being flexible to fit online formats was a productive strategy that made the HIV in MOTION CoP sessions agile and amenable to audiovisual archiving. Our indicators of success in Process, Activities, and Outcomes included participant retention online, elicited verbal interventions and comments in the chat room, and a rate of three repeat visits online. The indicators of success of Impact were the presence of voluntary and unscripted autopathography, the patient storytelling and how it reportedly caused changes in the participants, and the "legitimate peripheral participation" of emerging research and clinical students. In conclusion, we recommend our form of CoP for mixing the knowledge of diverse persons in this area. However, we recommend considering budget and burnout as serious challenges to sustainability.
