Arabic Wikipedia users' personalized behavior analysis considering gender gap.

As many web platforms adopt collaborative content editing models, the gender gap is addressed as one of the chief concerns in using technology to restrict content editing by one gender. This study aims to analyze the Arabic Wikipedia, the largest collaborative content editing platform on the Arabic web, in terms of gender behavior and differences in user activities. This study is the first to address the gender gap in Arabic Wikipedia, characterize users' gender through their behavior, and then address changes in characteristics over the past five years. This study analyzes parts of Arabic Wikipedia offline by linking article pages and page edit histories to user profiles of known genders. This study reported that a gender gap exists in Arabic Wikipedia. The results reported differences over the past five years between both genders in terms of tasks and user behavior. One aspect that indicated similarity is the period of active time over months/years. Differences were observed in the reported number of increasing users, activities, responsibilities, and average actions performed. The results reveal a vast gap in terms of gender behavior in Wikipedia activities. Moreover, the results reveal that some administrative activities are disclosed to men more than to women.

Pushing Boundaries—Hybrid Advertising in Digital News Media: A Content Analysis of Media Kits

Hybrid advertising, such as native ads or advertorials, is a vital revenue stream for digital news media, but is normatively challenging, since it blurs the boundaries between advertising and journalism. We lack an overview of the types of hybrid advertising that news organizations deem acceptable, and insight into how they discursively legitimize blurring boundaries by publicly promoting such advertising. News media list and promote the advertising forms they offer to advertisers in their media kits, but communication scholars have overlooked this rich information source. In a quantitative content analysis of media kits, we examined portfolios of hybrid advertising offered by digital news media and how openly they promote the hybrid nature thereof. The results show that digital news media most commonly offer sponsored editorial content mimicking articles but also various other forms. We develop a taxonomy of the types of hybrid advertising based on their label, media format, and type of hybridity. News organizations openly promote the boundary-blurring nature while rarely highlighting disclosure policies. The bold promotion of ever-more forms of hybrid advertising discursively contributes to normalizing transgression of the iconic wall separating journalism from advertising and makes it increasingly difficult for audiences, regulators, and scholars to keep track.

A phosphorylation-controlled switch confers cell cycle-dependent protein relocalization.

Tools for acute manipulation of protein localization enable elucidation of spatiotemporally defined functions, but their reliance on exogenous triggers can interfere with cell physiology. This limitation is particularly apparent for studying mitosis, whose highly choreographed events are sensitive to perturbations. Here we exploit the serendipitous discovery of a phosphorylation-controlled, cell cycle-dependent localization change of the adaptor protein PLEKHA5 to develop a system for mitosis-specific protein recruitment to the plasma membrane that requires no exogenous stimulus. Mitosis-enabled anchor-away/recruiter system comprises an engineered, 15 kDa module derived from PLEKHA5 capable of recruiting functional protein cargoes to the plasma membrane during mitosis, either through direct fusion or via GFP-GFP nanobody interaction. Applications of the mitosis-enabled anchor-away/recruiter system include both knock sideways to rapidly extract proteins from their native localizations during mitosis and conditional recruitment of lipid-metabolizing enzymes for mitosis-selective editing of plasma membrane lipid content, without the need for exogenous triggers or perturbative synchronization methods.

Pose-Driven Compression for Dynamic 3D Human via Human Prior Models.

To cost-effectively transmit high-quality dynamic 3D human images in immersive multimedia applications, efficient data compression is crucial. Unlike existing methods that focus on reducing signal-level reconstruction errors, we propose the first dynamic 3D human compression framework based on human priors. The layered coding architecture significantly enhances the perceptual quality while also supporting a variety of downstream tasks, including visual analysis and content editing. Specifically, a high-fidelity pose-driven Avatar is generated from the original frames as the basic structure layer to implicitly represent the human shape. Then, human movements between frames are parameterized via a commonly-used human prior model, i.e., the Skinned Multi-Person Linear Model (SMPL), to form the motion layer and drive the Avatar. Furthermore, the normals are also introduced as an enhancement layer to preserve fine-grained geometric details. Finally, the Avatar, SMPL parameters, and normal maps are efficiently compressed into layered semantic bitstreams. Extensive qualitative and quantitative experiments show that the proposed framework remarkably outperforms other state-of-the-art 3D codecs in terms of subjective quality with only a few bits. More notably, as the size or frame number of the 3D human sequence increases, the superiority of our framework in perceptual quality becomes more significant while saving more bitrates.

Navigating the inception stage in online peer production communities: a comparative study on community building activities, user roles and interaction dynamics

PurposeThis exploratory, descriptive study examines the factors that might influence the success or failure of online peer production communities during their inception stage. It focuses on community-building activities, the roles of users and the dynamics of user interaction, aiming to shed light on practices that could contribute to a community's success at the inception stage.Design/methodology/approachBy comparing two Stack Exchange Q&A communities with the same timelines but opposite outcomes during their beta testing phases, the research utilizes quantitative methods to categorize community activities, define user roles via k-means cluster analysis and examine interaction networks using social network analysis.FindingsOur findings suggest the successful Mathematics Q&A community exhibited several distinct practices during its inception, such as the utilization of both external and internal tools, the development of community-specific tutorials and the strategic use of flagging functions for moderation. Eight user roles were discerned, with roles like content editors, metadata curators and gatekeepers being particularly prominent in the successful community. Additionally, a more densely interconnected user network characterized by active participation was observed in the successful community.Originality/valueConcentrating on the inception stage of online communities, this study uncovers insights into the dynamics at play in the early life of peer production environments and provides empirical observations that may assist in shaping strategies for new online communities. It stands out by comparing communities within the same period to understand factors that may influence their early success.

Arbitrary stylized light-field generation for three-dimensional light-field displays based on radiance fields.

Three-dimensional (3D) light-field display technology can reconstruct the spatial characteristics of 3D scenes and provide users with an immersive visual experience without the need for any additional external devices. Here, an arbitrary stylized light-field generation method for 3D light-field displays is presented, and the tripartite constraints are addressed by conducting style transformation in a refined feature space. A multi-dimensional feature refinement module is designed to learn which aspects and regions should be prioritized within the high-level feature grid of the scene, which allows content and style patterns to be better matched and blended. To preserve more structural details and reduce artifacts, a novel global quality and local structure joint loss function is used for optimization. A mask-guided light-field coding method based on ray-casting is employed to accelerate the synthesis of stylized light-field images. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can generate higher-quality stylized 3D light-field content with any given style in a zero-shot manner. Additionally, the method provides two user control extensions to further enrich the ways for the personalized editing of 3D content displayed on 3D light-field displays.

The anatomy of internal interference in public service media: How do journalists interpret whether editorial interference constitutes unacceptable encroachment on their autonomy?

This study examines the suspected transmission of political pressure through management to journalists in public service media, where independence is crucial for fulfilling its democratic mission. Such interference is often covert and performed without hard evidence, making it difficult to prove. To provide insight into these practices, this study explores the case of RTVS, the public service broadcaster in Slovakia, during a conflict that arose after the appointment of a new director general in 2017. Using semi-structured interviews with journalists and managers ( N = 16), it introduces an inductively developed classification scheme for internal interference and examines the context and conditions under which the journalists considered it to be politically motivated and as an illegitimate encroachment on their autonomy. The study shows that perceived internal interference by management takes two forms: interference in editorial content at various levels (and through multiple tools and means) and the use of disciplinary mechanisms. When journalists experience internal interference with a possible political background, trust in their superiors and the perception of their motives are crucial factors influencing their reactions and interpretation of the situation. However, for a variety of reasons that the study analyzes in detail, the RTVS journalists distrusted their superiors' moral integrity, professional skills, and political independence, which resulted in the departure of a large part of the TV newsroom. The article concludes with suggestions for methodological implications for further research on perceived interference.

‘Knowing What a Man Wants’: Advertising in Playboy magazine, 1972–1982

AbstractThis article argues that faced with the changing cultural environment, competition and financial hardship, Playboy tried to find ways to adapt with more sexualised editorial content, while also making an attempt at maintaining normalcy in the advertising of their ideal Playboy lifestyle in the magazine to keep the illusion of a fantasy lifestyle alive for readers and keep advertisers happy. Playboy’s team, like their readers, had to navigate their own ideas of masculinity, sexuality and feminism – even if that meant maintaining the status quo. This led to an unclear goal for what Playboy was trying to be in the 1970s and 1980s.

Image processing and image recognition algorithms are essential to content generation and editing in the digital age. They provide creative ways to improve visual quality, streamline processes, and customize user interfaces. In-depth methods for incorporating cutting-edge image processing and image recognition algorithms into digital media content production and editing workflows are covered in this study. Methods: To maximize visual quality, the research first focuses on pre-processing and improving digital images using the median filtering technique. The Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) technique is applied to locate and identify the objects in images, that enabling customized and interactive content modification. After that, the images are segmented using the watershed approach, and the precise classification of the images is achieved by applying the Mayfly Optimized Spatial Graph Recurrent Neural Network (MOSGRNN), which improves content organization and retrieval. Results: The results of the experiments demonstrate that the suggested strategy performs well in all aspects of image processing in terms of accuracy (94.91%), recall (92.70%), recognition speed (44 FPS), and f1-score (93.7%). Conclusion: Content production, editing, and delivery across a variety of platforms might be significantly transformed by research on image processing and image recognition algorithms in digital media.

Free for All

Periodic website redesign projects have become essential -- though often complex and costly -- measures that libraries take to ensure users’ ease of access to resources. Though administrators often enlist university web designers or even outside contractors to undertake these projects, librarians themselves can and should be at the center of any library website redesign. This is easier for libraries with employees who have considerable web development-related skills, but it is also within reach for libraries with smaller staff and limited web development skills. Indeed, free UX testing applications, basic office software, and open source or freely available CMSes such as Drupal make library website redesign projects both feasible and affordable. Generating buy-in and recruiting content editors to help build the new site are two vital measures for a successful redesign, as well as ongoing, post-launch maintenance. During our library website redesign, we leveraged both the communication of UX testing results and periodic peer training activities to create support, invite feedback or input, and recruit partners for content creation on the new site. As our site launched, we sustained the momentum of our peers’ involvement with the site by providing training materials, tech support, and targeted documentation. By combining freely available, user-friendly applications with a strategic, inclusive implementation process, even libraries with limited resources can successfully complete significant website redesign projects.

AO Spine/Praxis Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Management of Acute Spinal Cord Injury: An Introduction to a Focus Issue.

Narrative overview and summary. The objective of this introductory manuscript is to provide an overview of the effort that was undertaken to establish clinical practice guidelines for a number of important topics in spinal cord injury (SCI). These topics included: 1. The role and timing of surgical decompression after acute traumatic SCI; 2. The hemodynamic management of acute traumatic SCI; and 3. The definition, diagnosis, and management of intra-operative SCI. Here, we introduce the rationale for the guidelines, the methodology utilized, and summarize how the topics are addressed within various manuscripts of this Focus Issue. The key clinical questions were defined using the PICO format for treatment reviews (patient; intervention; comparison; outcomes) or PPO format (patient, prognostic factor, outcomes) for risk factor review. Multi-disciplinary, international guideline development groups (GDGs) were established to evaluate and collate the available evidence in a rigorous, systematic manner, followed by a review of systematically obtained evidence within the framework of the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) criteria and application of the Evidence to Decision process. Consensus meetings, using a modified Delphi approach, were held with the multidisciplinary, international GDGs using online video-conferencing technology and anonymous voting to develop the final recommendations for each of the topics addressed. All systematic review protocols followed PRISMA standards and were registered on PROSPERO; all potential conflicts were vetted in an open and transparent manner. The funders (AO Spine and Praxis Spinal Cord Institute) had no influence over editorial content or the guidelines process). Updated guidelines were established for the timing of surgical decompression after acute SCI, with surgical decompression within 24hours of injury now "recommended" as a treatment option. Updated guidelines were also established for hemodynamic management, with an expanded target range for mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 75-80 to 90-95mmHg for between 3 to 7days post-injury now "suggested" as a treatment option. The available literature mandated scoping and systematic reviews on the topic of intra-operative SCI, and this resulted in manuscripts to address the definition, frequency, and risk factors, to define the role of intra-operative neuromonitoring, and to suggest an evidence-based care pathway for management. A rigorous process following GRADE standards was undertaken to review the available evidence and establish guideline recommendations around the role and timing of surgery in acute SCI, optimal hemodynamic management of acute SCI and the prevention, diagnosis and management of intraoperative SCI. This effort also identified key knowledge gaps and future directions for study, which will serve to refine these recommendations in the future.

Explaining how Wikipedia deals with credibility to university students: the case of Wikipedia in the Basque language

PurposeThis study aims to analyse how first-year undergraduate audiovisual communication students assess the credibility and reliability of information on Wikipedia in Basque and analyse whether the experience of being a Wikipedia editor helps to improve students’ perceptions of Wikipedia’s trustworthiness. The purpose of this project was to help students to better understand the credibility mechanisms of Wikipedia in Basque regarding the work of editing and creating entries. Do students’ perceptions about how reliable Wikipedia is change if they receive training as Wikipedia content editors and understand Wikipedia’s credibility mechanisms? What are their perceptions about the credibility of Wikipedia?Design/methodology/approachThe authors observed and analysed students’ behaviour and perceptions when creating Wikipedia articles and learning about the process of evaluating Wikipedia. This research was carried out at [masked for review] over four consecutive years, where 188 students in the Degree Programme in Audiovisual Communication participated through a questionnaire and in-depth interviews.FindingsAfter the experience of creating content on Wikipedia and learning about Wikipedia’s credibility mechanisms experientially, the majority of students reported that their perception of Wikipedia’s credibility had increased, and 70% of students believed Wikipedia to be reliable or more reliable than expected. A smaller number of students stated that understanding Wikipedia’s editing processes decreased their perception of Wikipedia’s credibility.Practical implicationsThis project will lead to a better understanding of the performance of students in editing content on Wikipedia and of the impact that this editing experience has on students’ perceptions of credibility with respect to Wikipedia. It will make it possible to better incorporate Wikipedia content editing into the learning processes of students and citizens. This study provides interesting keys to improving the reliability and credibility of Wikipedia among students.Social implicationsAs the study examined Basque Wikipedia, it has important social implications since Basque is a minority language and Wikipedia is the main sources of information for students who study in Basque.Originality/valueThe authors have been analysing the credibility of information in general and that of information on Wikipedia in particular since 2010. Based on this experience, the authors decided to design this study so that it was carried out while the students were creating and editing Wikipedia content as part of a project in their educational curriculum. Furthermore, the study expands the body of research carried out to date by incorporating the perspectives of media studies students.

Stratospheric platform applications: reduced cognitive load for multimedia and education

The proliferation of computing solutions in future communication networks leads to the occurrence of cognitive visual overstimulation (CVO). CVO occurrence arises in multimedia content editing and provisioning of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education. The presented research proposes a high-altitude platform-based architecture that enable multimedia content editing related to space themes, and insertion in the edge of space i.e., the stratosphere (space horizon) environment. The use of the proposed architecture in content editing and STEM education contexts reduces the CVO by an average of (22–84.1) % and (13.6–31.7) %, respectively. Investigations show that the proposed architecture reduces the latency by an average of 30.3%, and 49.4% considering individual, and multiple content access, respectively. The use of the proposed architecture also reduces the power consumption associated with multimedia content editing by (8.05–42.9) % on average.

Business Management Model of Private and Public News Channels in Pakistan: A Case Study of GEO News and PTV News

Purpose: The chief purpose of this study was designed to explore the phenomenal changes of business management models of the private and public news channels in Pakistan. The rationale behind this objective was to explore changing business approaches as adopted by the private news channel like Geo News and the public news channel like PTV News. The advent of the social media has altogether changed the landscape for the traditional media including newspapers and news channels, therefore, it seemed quite appropriate to explore new strategies for enhancing business for news channels in Pakistan. 
 Design/Methodology/Approach: The study employed in-depth interviews qualitative method to collect qualitative data from different patterns of data for major themes. Qualitative Content Analysis was partially employed to minimize large stream of data into small chunk and analyze data accordingly.
 Findings: The study found out that the state-run news channel like PTV News was solely relying for financial support on the federal and provincial governments. Accordingly, the PTV News was providing absolute coverage to public departments and enhancing image of the ministers of the ruling political party and their ministries to enhance their public trust. However, the private news channel like GEO News has to make all-out efforts on advertising agencies, real estate sectors, multi-national companies, national and international corporations to meet its financial besides enhancing business of the Channel. Reciprocally, the private sector providing huge funding to GEO News has some sort of influence on its editorial content and news coverage thus compromising freedom of express to some extent. 
 Implications/Originality/Value: The study has drawn a visible line between financial expenditure and its impact on news coverage and editorial policy. PTV News was providing absolute coverage to public departments due to financial dependency, whereas the GEO News was providing coverage to all political parties and other public and private sector with slight difference. However, the freedom of expression of the GEO News was compromised to some extent because of financial dependency.
