Information Propagation in Hypergraph-Based Social Networks.

Social networks, functioning as core platforms for modern information dissemination, manifest distinctive user clustering behaviors and state transition mechanisms, thereby presenting new challenges to traditional information propagation models. Based on hypergraph theory, this paper augments the traditional SEIR model by introducing a novel hypernetwork information dissemination SSEIR model specifically designed for online social networks. This model accurately represents complex, multi-user, high-order interactions. It transforms the traditional single susceptible state (S) into active (Sa) and inactive (Si) states. Additionally, it enhances traditional information dissemination mechanisms through reaction process strategies (RP strategies) and formulates refined differential dynamical equations, effectively simulating the dissemination and diffusion processes in online social networks. Employing mean field theory, this paper conducts a comprehensive theoretical derivation of the dissemination mechanisms within the SSEIR model. The effectiveness of the model in various network structures was verified through simulation experiments, and its practicality was further validated by its application on real network datasets. The results show that the SSEIR model excels in data fitting and illustrating the internal mechanisms of information dissemination within hypernetwork structures, further clarifying the dynamic evolutionary patterns of information dissemination in online social hypernetworks. This study not only enriches the theoretical framework of information dissemination but also provides a scientific theoretical foundation for practical applications such as news dissemination, public opinion management, and rumor monitoring in online social networks.

Research on the Transformation and Upgrading of News Media based on the Internet of Things era

The rise of the so-called "Internet of Things" heralds the arrival of innovative improvements in the dissemination technologies that are the basis for the development and improvement of a wide variety of forms of media. It has gone a long way from the early days of digitization and networking, and now it even incorporates intelligence. In the past, it did not have this capability. The widespread adoption of technology based on the Internet of Things will lead to profound shifts in the efficiency of media communication, as well as the transformation and upgrading of communication intelligence, the explosive growth of the communication platform, the emergence of a high degree of integration between "content production" and new communication techniques, and other developments related to these trends. It is generally agreed upon that the Internet of Things will be the primary impetus behind the next age of information technology as well as the expansion of the global economy. It is communicative, modular, and organized when it comes to the transmission of information. The ever-expanding media sector won't be a problem for this roomy facility. People's perspectives on the function of the media will shift as a result of the Internet of Things since it will make it feasible to intelligently update various types of media that are already in existence. Consumers will have access to a broad range of data presented in a number of formats as a direct consequence of the Internet of Things. It is feasible to expand the media applications of the Internet of Things by concentrating on one of these three areas: the development of a new media service system; the production of new media content; or the undertaking of a new media life challenge. This article examines the deconstruction of the primary body of dissemination pertaining to the Internet of Things from five distinct vantage points. Topics covered include the Internet of Things' news dissemination materials as well as dissemination objects. There are a number of different ways in which the framework of news dissemination may be made more effective, including bringing it up to date, enhancing its function, improving its platforms, fortifying its content, and increasing the breadth of its coverage. In terms of rebuilding and reconstruction, talk about the positive and constructive functions that modern information technology plays in the news broadcasting industry. In addition, the purpose of this article is to investigate the impact that the Internet of Things has on the method by which news is disseminated and the media business as a whole, as well as the relationship that exists between the social application of IoT technology and the news media. This article will hopefully widen the breadth of usage for internet of things technology in the news distribution sector by investigating a variety of different techniques. It is anticipated that in addition to accomplishing this goal, this work will also contribute to the proliferation of conventional media.

Dealing with the Very Small: First Steps of a Picohydro Demonstration Project in an University Campus

This paper presents the implementation, project and design of a small run-of-river hydropower plant, designed for demonstration purposes, under a Project aimed to be a framework of wide spread dissemination of renewable energies and energy efficiency in an University Campus. The details of the hydroelectric power plant, from the project design until the final use of the produced electric energy, are described. The main requirements of the implementation are presented, with regards to the environmental footprint and topography of the site and the adopted solutions are also described. Considering the demonstration purposes, two different electrical systems were installed in the power house: stand-alone and grid-connected. The latter establishes a case study in the development and application of picohydro power plants as microgeneration units in the context of distributed generation systems. The evaluation of both systems is also presented, based on the experimental results obtained from tests experiments and from monitoring the first months of operation at the site.

Implementation experience of an informatic system for the management of hospital beds.

The management of beds within healthcare centers is essential for meeting the health needs of the population. Currently, in Chile there are few computer tools that streamline the functions performed by the Bed Management Units of healthcare centers. The objective of this article is to describe the implementation of a bed management computer system in three hospitals of medium (Modular-La Serena) and high complexity (San José del Carmen-Copiapó y San Juan de Dios-La Serena) of the Chilean public health network. The process used the Framework of dissemination and implementation, which allowed for a consistent flow of bed management, namely: request, allocation of bed, transfer, hospitalization and patient discharge. Likewise, the relevant actors and the minimum variables for the adequate process were identified. The implementation of the system was carried out in stages of validation and configuration of the platform in each healthcare center, user training and follow-up of the start-up. To date, the three hospitals have an operational computer system for managing hospital beds, reporting no difficulties in its use. The next challenge is to carry out a comprehensive evaluation of the impact of the platform, using the indicators agreed upon with the clinical/administrative teams of the health centers.

A scoping review of frameworks in empirical studies and a review of dissemination frameworks

BackgroundThe field of dissemination and implementation (D&I) research has grown immensely in recent years. However, the field of dissemination research has not coalesced to the same degree as the field of implementation research. To advance the field of dissemination research, this review aimed to (1) identify the extent to which dissemination frameworks are used in dissemination empirical studies, (2) examine how scholars define dissemination, and (3) identify key constructs from dissemination frameworks.MethodsTo achieve aims 1 and 2, we conducted a scoping review of dissemination studies published in D&I science journals. The search strategy included manuscripts published from 1985 to 2020. Articles were included if they were empirical quantitative or mixed methods studies about the dissemination of information to a professional audience. Studies were excluded if they were systematic reviews, commentaries or conceptual papers, scale-up or scale-out studies, qualitative or case studies, or descriptions of programs. To achieve aim 1, we compiled the frameworks identified in the empirical studies. To achieve aim 2, we compiled the definitions from dissemination from frameworks identified in aim 1 and from dissemination frameworks identified in a 2021 review (Tabak RG, Am J Prev Med 43:337-350, 2012). To achieve aim 3, we compile the constructs and their definitions from the frameworks.FindingsOut of 6017 studies, 89 studies were included for full-text extraction. Of these, 45 (51%) used a framework to guide the study. Across the 45 studies, 34 distinct frameworks were identified, out of which 13 (38%) defined dissemination. There is a lack of consensus on the definition of dissemination. Altogether, we identified 48 constructs, divided into 4 categories: process, determinants, strategies, and outcomes. Constructs in the frameworks are not well defined.Implication for D&I researchThis study provides a critical step in the dissemination research literature by offering suggestions on how to define dissemination research and by cataloging and defining dissemination constructs. Strengthening these definitions and distinctions between D&I research could enhance scientific reproducibility and advance the field of dissemination research.

Adaptation and Dissemination of a National Cancer Institute HPV Vaccine Evidence-Based Cancer Control Program to the Social Media Messaging Environment.

Social media offers a unique opportunity to widely disseminate HPV vaccine messaging to reach youth and parents, given the information channel has become mainstream with 330 million monthly users in the United States and 4.2 billion users worldwide. Yet, a gap remains on how to adapt evidence-based vaccine interventions for the in vivo competitive social media messaging environment and what strategies to employ to make vaccine messages go viral. Push-pull and RE-AIM dissemination frameworks guided our adaptation of a National Cancer Institute video-based HPV vaccine cancer control program, the HPV Vaccine Decision Narratives, for the social media environment. We also aimed to understand how dissemination might differ across three platforms, namely Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter, to increase reach and engagement. Centering theory and a question-answer framework guided the adaptation process of segmenting vaccine decision story videos into shorter coherent segments for social media. Twelve strategies were implemented over 4 months to build a following and disseminate the intervention. The evaluation showed that all platforms increased following, but Instagram and TikTok outperformed Twitter on impressions, followers, engagement, and reach metrics. Although TikTok increased reach the most (unique accounts that viewed content), Instagram increased followers, engagement, and impressions the most. For Instagram, the top performer, six of 12 strategies contributed to increasing reach, including the use of videos, more than 11 hashtags, COVID-19 hashtags, mentions, and follow-for-follow strategies. This observational social media study identified dissemination strategies that significantly increased the reach of vaccine messages in a real-world competitive social media messaging environment. Engagement presented greater challenges. Results inform the planning and adaptation considerations necessary for transforming public health HPV vaccine interventions for social media environments, with unique considerations depending on the platform.

The 4 Cs Strategy for disseminating innovations in university teaching: Classroom, Corridors, Campus, Community

University educators are encouraged to be innovative in their teaching practice, and are often recognised and rewarded for these innovations. However, the effective dissemination and consequent adoption of such innovations is still relatively ineffective, despite the development of diverse dissemination frameworks and strategies. The literature suggests the uptake of innovations is constrained especially by ‘people factors’ related to change, transition and perceived risk, which limits the effectiveness of top-down dissemination. Through a reflective methodology guided by an appreciative inquiry stance and the Discover, Dream, Design, Destiny model, the authors explored dissemination of university teaching practices. Through the Discovery phase, the authors reviewed the literature on innovation and dissemination in the context of reflective inquiry into their own experiences as innovative educators. In the Dream and Design phases, the authors used this new understanding to develop an educator-centred approach strategy for sharing innovations in ways that capitalise on people factors and the principles of persuasive influence towards effective change. The 4Cs Dissemination Strategy systematically connects innovators to their students, colleagues, institutions, and broader networks. After building a scholarly evidence base of the impact of teaching innovations in the Classroom, the focus shifts to person-centred interaction with colleagues in Corridors, across the Campus and into the Community. The Destiny phase is in progress: as a structured professional learning framework supporting innovators to become the advocates for their own innovations in practical ways, the 4Cs Dissemination Strategy has the potential to facilitate the sharing of innovative practice and enhance innovation leadership.

The Emanating Role of Information Management in Social Performance: A Case of Logistics Operations in Medical Supply Stores in Lagos State

BACKGROUND: Information management is a framework of data identity, procedure, characterization, and dissemination utilizing hierarchical, social, and technological entities. Consequently, information management requires collaboration and a specific depiction for each echelon within logistics operations to achieve optimality and also impact social performance. AIM: The study examined the emanating role of information management in social performance in the boundaries of logistics operations in medical supply stores in Lagos State, Nigeria. METHODS: The study adopted a survey with an aggregate of eight hundred and fifty (850) questionnaires. It was apportioned to employees in the logistics and operations division of sixty (60) medical supply stores in Lagos State, Nigeria. Notwithstanding seven hundred and ninety-five (795) were substantial for analysis. The respondents were drawn utilizing purposive technique and complete enumeration method. Information analysis was completed utilizing partial least square (PLS). RESULTS: The study identified the emanating role of information management in social performance based on the statistical outcome (β _= 0.415, R2 = 0.173, t-statistics=4.738 >1.96, p = 0.000 < 0.05). CONCLUSION: This infers that information management plays a critical role in social performance within logistics operations in the medical supply stores in order to achieve optimal performance.

Considering efficacy and effectiveness trials of cognitive behavioral therapy among youth with autism: A systematic review.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is a common treatment for emotional problems in people with autism. Most studies of cognitive behavioral therapy and autism have focused on efficacy, meaning whether a treatment produces results under "ideal" conditions, like a lab or research setting. Effectiveness trials, by contrast, investigate whether a treatment produces results under "real-world" conditions, like a community setting (e.g. hospital, community mental health center, school). There can be challenges in bringing a cognitive behavioral therapy treatment out of a lab or research setting into the community, and the field of implementation science uses frameworks to help guide researchers in this process. In this study, we reviewed efficacy and effectiveness studies of cognitive behavioral therapy treatments for emotional problems (e.g. anxiety, depression) in children and youth with autism. Our search found 2959 articles, with 33 studies meeting our criteria. In total, 13 studies were labelled as effectiveness and 20 as efficacy. We discuss how the effectiveness studies used characteristics of an implementation science framework, such as studying how individuals learn about the treatment, accept or reject it, how it is used in the community over time, and any changes that happened to the individual or the organization (e.g. hospital, school, community mental health center) because of it. Results help us better understand the use of cognitive behavioral therapy in the community, including how a framework can be used to improve effectiveness studies.

Disseminating Cultural Neuropsychology Research: Five Key Recommendations for Skill Development

Abstract Objective Cultural neuropsychology has been called upon to meet the demand for more empirical tools and frameworks to use with our diverse populations. While much is being done, we have largely been “playing a game of catch-up” (Manly, 2008) and researchers have been encouraged to reinvent their approaches (Suchy, 2016). In this regard, one area of opportunity is promoting the development of cultural neuropsychology research dissemination. Method Relevant literature and professional experiences were used to identify cultural neuropsychology research dissemination barriers and solutions. Outcomes (1) Researches should use empirically supported knowledge dissemination frameworks to guide their approaches (Wilson et al., 2010). (2) Care should be taken to report study variables in internationally compatible/meaningful units (e.g., education, socioeconomic status; UNESCOIS, 2012). Researchers are also encouraged to find opportunities to comment on the purposeful exclusion of “North-American” variables (e.g., ethnicity) as well as the lessons learned from research “failures” (Hruschka et al., 2018). (3) Findings should be presented in ways that make clinical application easily comprehensible and implementable, even for those not specializing in cultural neuropsychology (e.g., use clear titles, clarify “insider” knowledge). (4) Researchers can and should negotiate with journals to make available the translated manuscripts and supplemental materials to improve research accessibility. (5) Professional collaboration and research visibility are fundamental to the success of dissemination (Tripathy et al., 2017). Discussion Neuropsychologists are eager for more culturally informed and clinically applicable research. Thus, cultural neuropsychology researchers focusing on developing their dissemination skills in these five highlighted areas are well positioned to increase the impact of their work and promote growth within cultural neuropsychology specifically, and neuropsychology broadly.

Behavioral and social scientists' reflections on genomics: a systematic evaluation within the Society of Behavioral Medicine.

Clinical and public health translation of genomics could be facilitated by expertise from behavioral medicine, yet genomics has not been a significant focus of the Society of Behavioral Medicine (SBM). SBM convened a working group (WG) to lead a systematic exploration of members' views on: (a) whether SBM should give a higher priority to genomic translation and (b) what efforts, if any, should be made to support this increased engagement. The WG used a stepped process over 2 years that began by gaining input from SBM leadership regarding key issues and suggestions for approach, engaging a cross section of membership to expand and record these discussions, followed by systematic qualitative analyses to inform priority action steps. Discussions with SBM leaders and members suggested that genomics was relevant to SBM, particularly for junior members. SBM members' expertise in social and behavioral theory, and implementation study designs, were viewed as highly relevant to genomic translation. Participants expressed that behavioral and social scientists should be engaged in translational genomics work, giving special attention to health disparities. Proposed action steps are aligned with a "push-pull" framework of innovation dissemination. "Push" strategies aim to reach potential adopters and included linking members with genomics expertise to those wanting to become involved and raising awareness of evidence-based genomic applications ready for implementation. "Pull" strategies aim to expand demand and included developing partnerships with genomics societies and advocating for funding, study section modifications, and training programs.

How education researchers have colluded in the rise of neoliberalism: what should the role of academics be in these Trumpian times?

The Trump administration represents less a break from the Bush and Obama administration education reforms than an expansion of those reforms. I argue that academics have been complicit in these reforms through the depolitization and privatization of their scholarship and their adherence to a technological framework of knowledge production, dissemination, and utilization. I call for education professionals in universities and schools to build alliances to co-generate knowledge, find ways to place it at the service of the common good and advocate for more equitable public schools.

OpenUP’s Open Science Pilots. Designing innovative peer review and dissemination pilot studies

The review-disseminate-assess cycle is a multifaceted process involving different stakeholders: researchers, publishers, research institutions and funders, private companies, industry, and citizens. The H2020 project OpenUP aspires to bring all these stakeholders into an open dialogue to consensually identify and spread the review-disseminate-assess mechanisms advancing evolving practices of RRI in an Open Science context. OpenUP will actively engage research communities and implement a series of hands-on pilots to validate OpenUP’s proposed (open) peer review, innovative dissemination, and impact indicator frameworks. The pilots will be carried out in close cooperation with selected, devoted research communities from four scientific areas: arts and humanities, social sciences, life sciences, and energy. This poster visualises UpenUP’s pilot design exemplified by two of the seven Open Science Pilots to be conducted by the project: 1) Open Peer Review for Conferences, and 2) Addressing and Reaching Businesses and the Public with Research Output.The first pilot will evaluate the feasibility and acceptance of open peer reviewing in a conference setting. The specific implementation of the applied schema will be determined by the results from the state of the art study as well as the user questionnaire answers from other work packages of OpenUP. In comparison to the traditional way (double-blind evaluation of submitted papers by assigned reviewers chosen by the conference organisers) the new schema should allow for a more open and fair process as well as give additional incentives to reviewers. The actual pilot study will be conducted at a medium sized conference in consultation with the conference organisers. Follow-up questionnaires and interviews will show if the stakeholders preferred the new process and can provide constructive feedback for improvements and policy decisions.The second pilot will test existing and potential alternative forms, formats, and channels of open science communication, and explore how the targeted audiences, in particular businesses and the public, can be best reached via these channels. In a preparatory phase the team will map open science communication formats/channels and their targeted audiences. The team will conduct a workshop to elicit the targeted stakeholders’ requirements and expectations towards a useful and appealing communication of scientific contents. This will be the basis of the second pilot presented here. It will actively involve one or more energy research community projects beyond the OpenUP consortium. The goals are to test the previously established communication standards and channels for the energy area, and evaluate the impact and resonance at the targeted audiences.By actively involving research communities and other relevant stakeholders into the pilots, OpenUP will not only evaluate the practicability of the identified open peer review, innovative dissemination, and impact measurement methods in particular settings. It also intends to create and disseminate success stories, best/good practices, and policy recommendations, which will help further communities to implement working Open Science approaches in their research evaluation and communication strategies.

Advancing Organizational Cultural Competency With Dissemination and Implementation Frameworks: Towards Translating Standards into Clinical Practice.

Substantial public health efforts have been activated to reduce health disparities and ensure health equity for patients through the provision of culturally and linguistically appropriate services; yet associated policies and standards are sluggishly translating into practice. Little attention and resources have been dedicated to translation of public health policies into practice settings. Dissemination and implementation is presented as an active, strategic approach to enhance uptake of public health standards; reviews dissemination and implementation concepts; poses a systematic model to adoption, implementation, and dissemination; and concludes with recommendations for hospital-based implementation teams and complementary interprofessional collaboration.

Dissemination of patient navigation programs across the United States.

To use diffusion and dissemination frameworks to describe how indicators of economic and health care disparity affect the location and type of patient navigation programs. A cross-sectional national Web-based survey conducted during 2009-2010 with support from 65 separate national and regional stakeholder organizations. A total of 1116 self-identified patient navigators across the United States. The location and characteristics of patient navigation programs according to economic and health care disparity indicators. Patient navigation programs appear to be geographically dispersed across the United States. Program differences were observed in navigator type, population served, and setting by poverty level. Programs in high-poverty versus low-poverty areas were more likely to use lay navigators (P < .001) and to be located in community health centers and agencies with religious affiliations (50.6 vs 36.4%, and 21.5% vs 16.7%. respectively; P ≤ 0.01). Results suggest that navigation programs have spread beyond initial target inception areas and also serve as a potentially important resource in communities with higher levels of poverty and/or relatively low access to care. In addition, while nurse navigators have emerged as a significant component of the patient navigation workforce, lay health navigators serve a vital role in underserved communities. Other factors from dissemination frameworks may influence the spread of navigation and provide useful insights to support the dissemination of programs to areas of high need.

Já o contexto tem o papel de nortear e disponibilizar meios e estrutura adequada para que a aprendizagem ocorra na organização. Conclui-se que a liderança e a aprendizagem são processos que podem ser estudados de forma integrada e que os níveis de aprendizagem (individuo, grupo e organização) estão ligados ao processo de liderança (líder, liderados e contexto).

A Survey on Data Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been applied in a variety of application areas. Most WSN systems, once deployed, are intended to operate unattended for a long period. During the lifetime, it is necessary to fix bugs, reconfigure system parameters, and upgrade the software in order to achieve reliable system performance. However, manually collecting all nodes back and reconfiguring through serial connections with computer is infeasible since it is labor-intensive and inconvenient due to the harsh deploying environments. Hence, data dissemination over multi-hop is desired to facilitate such tasks. This survey discusses the requirements and challenges of data dissemination in WSNs, reviews existing work, introduces some relevant techniques, presents the metrics of the performance and comparisons of the state-of-the-art work, and finally suggests the possible future directions in data dissemination studies. This survey elaborates and compares existing approaches of two categories: structure-less schemes and structure-based schemes, classified by whether or not the network structure information is used during the disseminating process. In existing literatures, different categories have definite boundary and limited analysis on the trade-off between different categories. Besides, there is no survey that discusses the emerging techniques such as Constructive Interference (CI) while these techniques have the chance to change the framework of data dissemination. In a word, even though many efforts have been made, data dissemination in WSNs still needs some more work to embrace the new techniques and improve the efficiency and practicability further.

Practice as research: A fine art contextual study

This paper examines the dynamic interplay between practice and theory in practice-led research in the visual arts. Building on recent debate around the issue and following appropriately rigorous models, the importance of locating a suitable methodology to adequately reflect the integrated process of research practice in written as well as visual form is underlined. Exploring the role of the embodied practitioner and issues of subjectivity and description, I propose that the adoption of a performative writing strategy that reflects both the content and context of the enquiry can be a productive move and put forward alternative routes and references that might practically assist achievement of just such an aim. Critical references that can support such a framework are also suggested and examples of alternative writing strategies that might help underpin alternative dissemination frameworks indicated.
