Assessing the Publicity and Reach of Peer-Led Online Medical Teaching: A Single-Event Evaluation.

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic caused significant disruption to higher education, including medical studies. Online learner support became urgently necessary, and peer-support of learning was needed to supplement formal teaching. This study evaluates the impact and delivery media of OSCEazy, a student-led initiative supporting formal teaching across institutional and national boundaries.MethodsA survey was created on Google Forms and disseminated via the Zoom chat function to all the participants at the end of our event titled, “The Cardiology Station”.ResultsA large proportion (99.5%) of the students have a Facebook account and (98.7%) use it to keep track of medical events (p=0.45 for comparison). However, a very small proportion of use their other social media to keep up with medical events (p<0.0001 for comparison).ConclusionIt is evident from our results, that most of our participants used Facebook to keep track of medical events. The use of their other social media platforms (Instagram, etc) to keep track of medical events was limited. Thus, it is important for any organisation, such as ours, who conduct online events to evaluate which platform is most suitable for them to use to publicise their events.

Social Media Visual Framing towards Political Participation: An Analysis on BERSIH 2.0

The political atmosphere in Malaysia had witnessed a growing trend of social movement organisations and protests. The recent attention is on the phenomenal record usage of social media platforms as tools to spread political ideology. The multimodal nature of social media has made it an efficient tool where users can post textual information as well as visual materials to reach out to its audience. This article sets out to examine the visual strategy of one of the largest political social movements in Malaysia, the BERSIH movement, within a social media setting. Building on the existing work on visual framing, it asks: How were issues visually portrayed on the BERSIH social media account during the peak of the movement in Malaysia? In this context, Facebook was chosen as the social media platform analysed as it is the main social media used by the movement. Adapting on the level of visual framing, a content analysis was done to a sample of 59 (N=59) top liked photos posted on the Bersih 2.0 Official Facebook account which received more than 0.5% engagement rate (ER= &gt;0.5%). The findings showed that at the denotative level, the main forms of visuals used were photos of protesters, followed by posters and photos of important individuals. The findings also showed that at the connotative level, the main frame highlighted was ‘solidarity’ followed by ‘call for action’ in the form of direct and symbolic visuals.

Case analysis of China Three Minutes (China Mosaic) Facebook account for Chinese overseas communication as an example

The continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength gives it more voice on the international stage. The old Western capitalist countries led by the United States have stirred up enmity wrong and smeared China's image in the public opinion environment.In this case, it is of great significance to tell China's story well and increase China's influence overseas.With the continuous development of the Internet, many central media have adopted the "network parallel" mode, so that global users can have richer channels to see the multifaceted image of China. This article will select the Facebook account of China Three Minutes (China Mosaic) to analyze its overseas communication effect by the quantitative analysis method of symbol code, summarize its advantages, find the shortcomings, and explore feasible ways to tell the Chinese story well to the world.

Validation of the Facebook Addiction Questionnaire

Existing self-report measures of Facebook addiction are limited by the robust application of addiction theory. This study validated a new theoretically derived measure of Facebook addiction. We hypothesized a single dimension construct of Facebook addiction based on Griffith's model would best fit the data. Competing alternative models included those based on DSM-5 substance-related and addictive disorder criteria. A cross-sectional sample of college students (18–25 years) with an active Facebook account (N = 431) completed the Facebook Intrusion Questionnaire (FIQ) and additional items measuring all of Griffiths' symptom components and the DSM-5 criteria for substance use, gambling, and Internet gaming; and validated measures of Internet addiction, personality, and mental health. A confirmatory factor analysis indicated a single-factor 14-item solution based on Griffith's model did not fit the data. A modified 10-item solution was the preferred measurement model due to brevity and stronger psychometric properties. This model demonstrated superior fit to alternative DSM-5-based models and the FIQ, while retaining theoretical consistency. The new 10-item measure, the Facebook Addiction Questionnaire (FAQ) demonstrated good reliability and construct validity. The 10-item FAQ is a reliable, valid, and brief measure of Facebook addiction that is theoretically and empirically superior to previous measures of Facebook addiction.

Perceptions matter: speeding behavior varies as a function of increasing perceived exposure to content encouraging the behavior

Objective Speeding is a high-risk behavior that accounts for a significant number of crashes and fatalities across the globe. Prior research indicates that a relationship exists between exposure to speeding behavior (via one’s peers or mass media) and subsequent engagement in the behavior. However, no study to date has quantified the perceived extent to which individuals are exposed to such content. Further, the impact of social media content on speeding behavior, relative to peer engagement and mass media sources, has not been investigated. Accordingly, this exploratory study aimed to: (a) quantify the self-reported extent to which the sample believe they were exposed to content encouraging speeding on social media, mass media and peer engagement in the behavior, and (b) examine whether speeding behavior varied as a function of increasing exposure to the behavior via these mediums. Methods A total of 628 Queensland motorists with a Facebook account were included in this study. Participation involved completing an online survey of 20–25 minutes duration. Results Consistent with previous research, half of the sample reported speeding more than 10% of the time they drive (n = 315). On average, participants believed they were exposed to content encouraging speeding behavior 40% of the time via mass media (e.g., television, movies or gaming) and 29% of the time on social media. In addition, they perceived their friends to exceed the speed limit 39% of the time. Finally, self-reported speeding behavior varied as a function of exposure, such that exposure levels were significantly higher in speeders than non-speeders. Conclusions The findings from this study suggest that perceptions concerning the frequency with which individuals are exposed to material encouraging speeding via mass media or social media, and their perceptions regarding their peers’ engagement in the behavior, all correspond with engagement in speeding behavior. Future research is needed to disentangle the relative impact of such mediums on speeding behavior, and the levels of exposure required to induce behavior change on the road.

A244 PROVIDING THE FODMAP DIET THROUGH AN ONLINE PLATFORM: IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE AND THE PHYSICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL SYMPTOMS IN IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME

BackgroundIrritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional gastrointestinal disorder that affects approximately 15 % of the worldwide population. It is characterized by recurring abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. This population is more at risk of suffering from chronic fatigue and psychological distress. Moreover, IBS significantly reduces the quality of life of patients and increases the economic burden on the health system. Many therapies have been developed to try to alleviate the symptoms and improve the lives of people with IBS. Among these is the FODMAP ( Fermentable Oligosaccharides Disaccharides Monosaccharides and Polyols) diet which aims to establish a personal tolerance to these nutrients (carbohydrates) that accentuate the symptoms related to IBS. This diet, lasting on average twelve weeks, is separated into three steps: elimination, reintroduction, and personalization. An innovative approach has been developed by the online platform SOSCuisine.com® to allow people with IBS to safely follow the FODMAP diet in a ‘self-service’ way. It consists of using an online service of personalized weekly menus low in FODMAP with tips and instructions for each step of the diet in combination with access to a peer support group, moderated by a specialized registered dietician.AimsThe aim of this project is to evaluate the impact of this new online service on the quality of life and the control of the physiological and psychological symptoms of people living with IBS. We hypothesized that this online service improve the quality of life and the control of the symptoms.MethodsThe participant has to be at least 18 years old, understand French, have access to Internet and a Facebook account (sufficient familiarity to use them) and have an IBS diagnosis (Rome IV criteria) validated or re-validated by a gastroenterologist within three months. People with eating disorders, mental health problems, other chronic gastrointestinal illnesses (except gastroesophageal reflux disease), diabetes and with a pregnancy are excluded. Validated questionnaires are used to assess the quality of life ( IBS-Quality Of Life), physical symptoms ( IBS-Severity Scoring System), state and trait ( State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Form Y) whereas food intake is assessed with a online 24-hour dietary recall.ResultsSo far, 35 participants have been included in the study (83% female, 45,3±12,8 years old). After the intervention, the severity of symptoms significantly decreased (p<0.001), and quality of life (p=0.041) and state anxiety (p=0.034) significantly improved.ConclusionsThis study should allow the identification of facilitating elements to adhere to the FODMAP diet and possibly improve the quality of life of this population.Funding AgenciesNone

My social network: Group differences in frequency of use, active use, and interactive use on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter

The goal of this study is to understand the differences in scope and patterns of frequency of use and interactive and active consumption on three leading social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter [1]. A representative sample of 501 participants completed an online survey. Of all participants, 95% had a Facebook account, 70% had an Instagram account, and 26% had a Twitter account at the time of the survey. The study found that gender, age, status, and education can predict the frequency of overall use, active use, and interactive use of social media. The findings are explained by the symbolic interactionism approach: Although it might seem that traditional role norms would be maintained on social media, social platforms appear to offer members of disadvantaged social groups, such as women, singles, younger adults, and less educated individuals an opportunity to affiliate with a large group that shares their cultural codes.

The Communicative Functions of Emojis: Evidence from Jordanian Arabic-Speaking Facebookers

Purpose. This paper examines the communicative (also known as pragmatic) functions of the most common five emojis in the Jordanian context as perceived by Jordanian Facebook users. &#x0D; Methods. The data were collected in four stages. First, the researcher shared a post on his Facebook account in which he asked his Jordanian-Arabic speaking virtual friends to report in a comment the most common emojis they use. The researcher compiled 174 comments / responses with 1716 emoji tokens. Second, the received tokens were used to identify the most common five emojis. Third, in order to identify the set of functions of each emoji, the researcher shared another post in which he asked the same previous group to report when each of them tends to press each emoji and for what purposes. Based on the received comments, a preliminary list of functions was prepared. Finally, the proposed functions were subjected to a validation process by two Jordanian-Arabic speaking linguists and three senior students from the Department of English at the University of Jordan. Most of their judgments were compatible with those of the researcher. To further validate the data, the acceptability of the identified functions were tested against the intuition of 261 Jordanian BA students at the University of Jordan. &#x0D; Results. The findings show that the five most common emojis in the Jordanian context are (1) the Face With Tears of Joy, (2) the Red Heart, (3) the Slightly Smiling Face, (4) the Face Blowing a Kiss, and (5) the Winking Face. Furthermore, emojis are not only used to show emotions, but can also act as markers of illocutionary force, as face saving devices, and as boosters of rapport. The set of emojis examined in this study can be employed to perform 19 multiple illocutionary acts including but not limited to expressive acts (happiness, admiration, etc.), directive acts (e.g, directing the addressee to stop doing something) and declarative acts (e.g., threatening). Emojis are not solely used to convey the functions envisaged by their creators. Instead, with time, emojis start to drift extensively from their semantic import by acquiring a wide spectrum of new illocutions. &#x0D; Conclusions. The study concludes that although emojis are evolving and developing at a rapid pace, becoming more diverse, pervasive and integral in our daily communications, sharing even some of the characteristics of human language such as arbitrariness, they remain a mode of communication within computer-mediated communication (CMC). At this stage, they can mainly play the role of non-verbal cues that help us understand the intended message and function as a parallel lingua franca limited in domains of CMC.

Factors limiting optimal students’ engagement on Social Media: A study of Higher Education Institutions in Pakistan

Limited research on Social Media (SM) marketing by Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) primarily focuses on understanding important practices followed to enhance students’ engagement on SM or its association with different branding constructs. However, there is dearth of research that can guide regarding practices negatively influencing SM based communication between HEIs and Students. This research explores these limiting factors affecting optimal students’ engagement on SM. A qualitative exploratory research methodology was adopted based on in-depth interviews and Netnography. 25 interviews were conducted and 6 months content analysis of Facebook account of selected HEIs was carried out for Netnography. The findings revealed different content and non-content factors negatively influencing students’ engagement on SM. Content related factors included poor design of SM content, lack of informality, inconsistent content posting and content posting during office hours. Whereas non-content related factors include selective platform presence, selective response to students' queries, fearful attitude towards official SM and absence of incentives for students to engage on SM. All these factors are believed to affect different stages of Customer Engagement including Connection, Interaction, Loyalty and Advocacy. Findings of this study have enabled gaining empirical knowledge regarding negative practices on SM, highlighted above, that shall be avoided to attain optimal results for SM marketing communication and learning how these practices affect different stages of students’ engagement on SM.

Hatenography: An Analysis of Hate Speech on Facebook in 2019 Indonesian Presidential Campaign

This article discusses hate speech on Facebook from two groups of supporters for the presidential candidates in the 2019 Presidential Election in Indonesia. The study used a virtual ethnography approach to analyze cultural groups or communities through their conversations on the Facebook platform. Data collection was conducted by observing and collecting words, phrases, and sentences in the Official Facebook account of two presidential candidates in the 2019 Presidential Election and statements of both presidential and vice-presidential candidates in 2019. In addition, researchers also observed three voluntary group accounts for each candidate. Therefore, the total number of accounts observed was eight. Data was analysed with Nvivo 12+ to obtain statistics on the strength of the chosen speech word and the dominant phrase or word that appears. The result shows that specific phrases or terms to intimidate each supporter of both parties in massive numbers appeared in the form of hate speech during the campaign. The purpose of the hate speech is to insult/humiliate, intimidate or accuse others of doing something inappropriate or evil (accusation which involves sarcasm and foul language directed to the opponent. Candidates also provoked each other by accusing the other party of being stupid, disgusting, pathetic, ugly, and retarded. The implication was that hate speech has disunited the public on the social media space. Accusing and attaching bad characters to other groups through hate speech has strengthened inter-group stereotypes and formed an unhealthy democratic climate. Keywords: Provocation, hate speech, verbal message, virtual ethnography, communication.
