Understanding the attractiveness of types of historic districts in Bandung: implementing heritage conservation based on public perception

ABSTRACT Cultural heritage conceptually addresses the conservation of physical and non-physical dimensions. Heritage conservation generally intends to create pleasant spatial experiences and socio-culturally friendly living environments while accommodating contemporary needs. Conservation frameworks for protecting urban fabric driven by physical authenticity and expert judgment need to pay increased attention to public-based assessment experiences to improve people’s perspectives on the quality of urban historic areas. The notions of inclusive conservation posit that community understanding is essential for appreciating historic urban areas due to various social, cultural, historical, and political conditions. According to public narratives and perspectives, this study describes the types of urban historic districts perceived as attractive. The investigation uses the qualitative method to analyze data from 170 participants obtained through an online questionnaire and content analysis methods with open, axial, and selective coding. The findings reveal that from the public perspective of environmental quality assessment, historic districts are categorized under three types according to attractiveness. Three types of historic areas are vibrant, relaxing, and dull districts. As such, the study emphasizes the importance of human sensory experience in urban planning and design and its consequences for urban heritage conservation.

Evaluating equity, diversity, and inclusion in Canadian Postgraduate Medical Education: A cross-sectional analysis of online content.

Medical graduates applying to Residency through the Canadian Resident Matching System (CaRMS) utilize the internet to gather information on programs and their overarching Postgraduate Medical Education (PGME) Office. This study aims to evaluate how PGME websites across Canada convey their commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) through their website features. Cross-sectional analysis of the 17 Canadian PGME websites against 20 EDI criteria based on contemporary literature, across five domains: leadership and governance, recruitment, accommodations, community engagement, and pathways to entry. Non-parametric testing was conducted to explore the relationship between EDI performance and municipal population diversity and geographic region. The evaluation of PGME websites, policies, reports, and plans revealed a mean score of 8.65/20 (SD = 3.00), with scores ranging from a minimum of 4/20 to a maximum of 13/20, indicating variability in EDI representation. Specifically, the domain of leadership and governance demonstrated the highest mean proportion of completed criteria (51%), while community engagement had the lowest (24%). Notably, 9 out of 17 PGME websites (53%) met at least 10 EDI criteria. Analysis by geographic region demonstrates significant mean differences (p = 0.02), with Ontario (10.50, SD = 2.17) and Western Provinces (11.00, SD = 0.00) scoring notably higher than Quebec (4.50, SD = 0.58), the Prairies (8.50, SD = 2.12), and the Atlantic region (8.00, SD = 2.83). The assessment of Canadian PGME websites reveals varying levels of commitment to EDI. While many programs exhibit strong EDI representation in mission statements, access to mental health services, and anti-discrimination policies, there are notable gaps in leadership messaging, diverse interview panels, family-friendly policies, and deliberate recruitment of underrepresented groups. Regional differences highlight the need for sharing best practices to promote inclusivity across the country. Improving EDI efforts on PGME websites can promote the recruitment and retention of a diverse resident population.

Assessing the breadth and multidisciplinarity of the conservation curriculum in the United Kingdom and Australia.

There have been repeated calls to train conservationists capable of transcending disciplinary boundaries. However, little empirical work has been done to document conservation teaching. We investigate the content taught in conservation higher education across the United Kingdom and Australia. Using data from an online survey and content analysis of module descriptions, we assess the prevalence of subject areas in 146 conservation modules and topics in 368 conservation modules and 62 conservation degrees. Biological sciences subject areas were represented in 92% of the modules, whereas social sciences subject areas only featured in 60% and humanities in 24%. Of the modules teaching biological sciences subject areas, 84% included biological sciences faculty but only 31% of the modules covering social sciences subject areas included faculty from the social sciences. Who teaches matters. The disciplinary expertise in conservation education needs to diversify to train conservationists capable of addressing conservation challenges. This requires institutional changes and support from prominent societies to promote interdisciplinary education.

Natural Language Processing and Schizophrenia: A Scoping Review of Uses and Challenges.

(1) Background: Approximately 1% of the global population is affected by schizophrenia, a disorder marked by cognitive deficits, delusions, hallucinations, and language issues. It is associated with genetic, neurological, and environmental factors, and linked to dopaminergic hyperactivity and neurotransmitter imbalances. Recent research reveals that patients exhibit significant language impairments, such as reduced verbal output and fluency. Advances in machine learning and natural language processing show potential for early diagnosis and personalized treatments, but additional research is required for the practical application and interpretation of such technology. The objective of this study is to explore the applications of natural language processing in patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. (2) Methods: A scoping review was conducted across multiple electronic databases, including Medline, PubMed, Embase, and PsycInfo. The search strategy utilized a combination of text words and subject headings, focusing on schizophrenia and natural language processing. Systematically extracted information included authors, population, primary uses of the natural language processing algorithms, main outcomes, and limitations. The quality of the identified studies was assessed. (3) Results: A total of 516 eligible articles were identified, from which 478 studies were excluded based on the first analysis of titles and abstracts. Of the remaining 38 studies, 18 were selected as part of this scoping review. The following six main uses of natural language processing were identified: diagnostic and predictive modeling, followed by specific linguistic phenomena, speech and communication analysis, social media and online content analysis, clinical and cognitive assessment, and linguistic feature analysis. (4) Conclusions: This review highlights the main uses of natural language processing in the field of schizophrenia and the need for more studies to validate the effectiveness of natural language processing in diagnosing and treating schizophrenia.

The rise of Mali's ‘videomen’ as cybercombatants in global crisis ecologies

Abstract This article examines the geopolitical shifts in Mali following its rejection of western intervention and subsequent partnerships with Russia. Mali is used as a case-study to explore the role of digital connectivity within global crisis ecologies. It challenges the narrative attributing Mali's coup solely to external influences, emphasizing the agency of local actors and new digital practices. Focusing on the role of ‘videomen’ in disseminating the narratives of Yèrèwolo, Mali's foremost anti-French and pro-Russian political movement, it examines how these actors shape public perceptions of Mali's new military leaders and their international partners. Using an assemblage framework to analyse smartphones' affordances, the nuanced dynamics shaping political legitimacy are elucidated, emphasizing the performative nature of authority in the digital age. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and quantitative analysis of online content, the article highlights how smartphones empower users like videomen to influence political dynamics amid crisis and geopolitical tensions. By reconstructing past events and reclaiming patriotism, videomen strategically use the political transition to outcompete traditional media professionals. The study underscores the need for understanding how localized dynamics shape broader political developments and international relations, offering insights into similar trends in other west African nations facing military coups and increased Russian involvement.

Schadenfreude and Sympathy: Observer Reactions to Malicious Joy During Social Media Service Recovery

Complex social dynamics occur when complaints are voiced on firms’ social media channels. In combination, a complainer criticizes a firm, which may be responded to uncivilly by different online personas (i.e., internet trolls or loyal customers), with virtually present observers watching how a firm responds. This research examines customer-to-customer (C2C) uncivil commentary from troll and loyal customer personas perceived by observers to elicit schadenfreude (malicious joy due to another's adverse event). Three studies show how C2C schadenfreude targeting a complainer elicits sympathy from observers, which influences observers’ future purchase intent. Study 1's online content analysis using field data shows the frequency of C2C schadenfreude during social media service recovery. Study 2 uncovers moderated mediation of C2C schadenfreude–sympathy–purchase intent, with loyal customer persona comments producing more observer sympathy than troll persona comments. Study 3 finds the harmful effect of observer sympathy on purchase intent varies based on how or if a firm addresses the C2C dialogue. This research uses a novel cognition (perceived schadenfreude from another's comment), examines a lesser-studied emotion in marketing (sympathy), and is the first marketing-related work to incorporate backlash theory from organizational management to exemplify how loyal customer comments produce a backlash effect in observers.

Body awareness, activity trackers, and the cognitive unconscious

This paper investigates the role activity trackers play for their users, focusing on the transformative role of wearable technology in shaping our perceptions of our bodies and health. Drawing on autophenomenography, in-depth interviews and online content analysis, it questions the neutrality of tracking data and interpretation, by drawing on Annemarie Mol’s concept of ontonorms and highlighting the built-in normativity of the assemblage that makes it constantly prone to enacting a certain kind of optimal performance. Using Katherine Hayles’ concept of cognitive assemblages, it defines trackers as being specific types of cognizers, entering alongside humans in assemblages in which their role sometimes ends up dethroning the body’s own perceptual systems and changing the way we are aware of our own bodies. Throughout the research, three different types of users are identified and described, for whom the cognitive assemblage takes a different shape: regular users, users with medical issues and power users.

The beat goes on? The current presence of music education in Australian public universities

Instruction in the theory and performance of music has been part of Australian higher education since the nineteenth century. Using the online content analysis approach, this article analyses current units of study and curricula in each Australian public university that continues to teach music. This study provides a detailed analysis of what is taught and how universities providing music education conceptualize the merit and usefulness of this field of study. Our analysis reveals that music education in Australian public universities remains relatively common, but also identifies the trajectories that music education has followed, including departures from traditional classical performance and music theory to coursework offerings that have been enabled by methodologies prevalent in social and cultural history. Universities offering music education have also tried to position such education as fundamental to securing a career, but offer very little in the way of units aiming to develop a broader understanding of the industry or inculcating career-relevant skills beyond those that are strictly relevant to music making.

The use of food processing terminology in Australian news media: a content analysis.

This study aims to determine whether ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are being discussed in news media in Australia and whether this terminology, as described in the NOVA system, is being applied accurately. Interpretive content analysis of online and print media articles that mentioned UPFs from 2009 to 2023 in Australia. Australia. Online and print media articles. A total of two hundred ninety-eight Australian media articles were captured. A substantial increase in the number of UPF articles was observed between 2017-2019 and 2021-2023. The UPF concept was inaccurately explained or defined in 32 % of the articles and was frequently used interchangeably with other descriptors, such as 'highly or heavily processed food', 'junk food', 'unhealthy food', 'packaged food' and 'discretionary food'. Most of the articles had a health focus; however, sustainability interest increased, particularly in the past 18 months. UPFs are increasingly being discussed in news media in Australia; however, the concept is still incorrectly presented in over a third of articles. This highlights the importance of improving the literacy about UPFs to ensure that messages are communicated in a way that is salient, accessible and accurate.

Sustainability communication of tourism cities: A text mining approach

Urban destinations have enjoyed increasing sustainable tourism attention and a consequent need to address challenges on promoting sustainable behavior in recent years. Tourism destinations' websites play an important role in the communication of sustainable tourism products and behaviors and have been receiving increasing attention in research on sustainability communication in tourism. However, the development of a holistic approach to online sustainability communication at the destination level remains challenging and requires further research. This study introduces a text-mining approach based on the creation of an ad-hoc dictionary to provide insights into how 10 European tourism cities communicate sustainability on their websites. Based on this approach, an assessment of online sustainability communication in these cities is performed through the definition and measurement of specific indicators relating to presence, depth and dispersion. The results show how this approach can be used to automatically assess the depth and the relative balance of communication across the environmental, socio-cultural, economic, and general dimensions of sustainability. Based on a large-scale, comparable analysis of sustainability-related online content, the proposed approach provides a tool to assist the design and improvement of websites for promoting sustainable tourist behavior and supporting sustainable destination management towards the green transition.

In Japan, the growing popularity of Netflix resulted in an increased consumption of Korean content, a trend that manifested itself particularly in the massive popularity of a South Korean drama Crash Landing on You, the most watched programme of 2020 on Netflix Japan. This article analyses various manifestations of Crash Landing on You’s popularity, focusing primarily on fan digital practices: online fan meetings, drama food recreation video sharing and virtual tourism. Based on the data gathered via online content analysis, digital ethnography and interviews, the author argues that these practices allow deeper immersion into the narrative world and intimacy building with the characters, offering entertainment, safety and comfort. Moreover, even though digital practices are not limited by national borders, thus often associated with transnational fandom, provided case studies suggest that intimacy building with the object of fannish affection has close ties to the national focus of presented practices.

A Survey of the Metadata Element Sets Used for Digital Art Objects in the Online Collections of the Museums of India

Digital technology advancements have had a significant impact on how people learn, search for information, and evaluate it. Indian cultural heritage institutions like GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) have also embraced a number of digitisation initiatives to increase access to their wide-ranging art collections. Digital paintings and other cultural heritage information artifacts can facilitate digital humanities research in multiple ways. Using an online content analysis and observation method, this study looks at how metadata elements are used to describe the different art collections in five national museums in India. The study finds that 13 categories of art objects are made available by all the museums. Each category is described by a different number of metadata entry elements. The study also finds the metadata elements that different museums prefer for different types of art objects, as well as the common elements. The findings highlight the need for standardisation in metadata practices to improve the discoverability and accessibility of cultural objects and show how crucial metadata is in facilitating access to cultural objects. The results could help GLAMs create metadata guidelines and strategies for their digital collections, which would make digital art objects more discoverable and accessible.
