Echo State Learning for User Trajectory Prediction to Minimize Online Game Breaks in 6G Terahertz Networks

Mobile online gaming is constantly growing in popularity and is expected to be one of the most important applications of upcoming sixth generation networks. Nevertheless, it remains challenging for game providers to support it, mainly due to its intrinsic and ever-stricter need for service continuity in the presence of user mobility. In this regard, this paper proposes a machine learning strategy to forecast user channel conditions, aiming at guaranteeing a seamless service whenever a user is involved in a handover, i.e., moving from the coverage area of one base station towards another. In particular, the proposed channel condition prediction approach involves the exploitation of an echo state network, an efficient class of recurrent neural network, that is empowered with a genetic algorithm to perform parameter optimization. The echo state network is applied to improve user decisions regarding the selection of the serving base station, avoiding game breaks as much as possible to lower game lag time. The validity of the proposed framework is confirmed by simulations in comparison to the long short-term memory approach and another alternative method, aimed at thoroughly testing the accuracy of the learning module in forecasting user trajectories and in reducing game breaks or lag time, with a focus on a sixth generation network application scenario.

Estimating Travel Demand with a Multimodal Transport Model Including E-Scooters in Iași, Romania

Cities, even medium-sized and small ones, have become overwhelmed by traffic and congestion. Innovative solutions are required and recent studies have focused on sustainable approaches. This study aims to develop a multimodal transport model consisting of an urban public transportation (UPT) service combined with an e-scooter sharing service. The main purpose of the model is a comparison between two travel alternatives (car and UPT + e-scooter), calculating their associated levels of utility. The methodology is based on a multinomial logit model, implemented in Matlab software, using results from an online mobility survey (socio-economic characteristics of potential users of e-scooters). The additional aim is related to the assessment of the inhabitants’ availability to shift from car to multimodal service or to simple e-scooter service. The developed micromodel was applied in Iași, a mid-sized city located in the northeast of Romania. Several price strategies were analysed in order to find their influence on users’ mobility behaviour. It turned out that the price for the shared e-scooter is too high at this moment to be used for daily travel. Without a price decrease and public authorities’ involvement in facilitating the multimodality, the e-scooter remains only an entertainment activity.

The Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games and the performativity of sport nationalism: Taiwanese identity and online mobilization

ABSTRACT This essay examines how Taiwanese national identity was performed on social media during the postponed Tokyo Olympics 2020. Taiwan achieved its best-ever medal tally, leading to the emergence of a new form of sport nationalism. Athletes' off-field behaviors, including diverse gender expressions, distinguished them not only from their Chinese counterparts but also from previous generations of Taiwanese athletes. Badminton, weightlifting, and table tennis athletes became the “proxy warriors” of Taiwan, showcasing the democratic and diverse nature of Taiwanese society. The Tokyo Olympics, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions, became a battleground for ideologies, with the complex relationships among Taiwan, China, and Japan setting the backdrop for narratives. To depart from traditional research on official national discourses, this essay employs critical discourse analysis (CDA) by examining Facebook content and comments on news reports related to Taiwanese Olympians. This essays argues that Taiwan's cyber civil society has developed a flexible strategy to counter China's aggression on the internet. Taiwanese online mobilization demonstrated self-control, creativity, and adaptability, establishing a unique Taiwanese identity during the Tokyo Olympics in the midst of the pandemic.

Spiritual Formation: Challenges and Coping Mechanisms of Senior High Seminarians in the New Normal Education

The education sector is one of the highly affected by the COVID- 19 pandemic. In the Philippines, various measures have been initiated to implement social isolation strategies, and online teaching is followed with rapid curriculum transformation. This study was conducted at a Seminary School in the Philippines to assess the spiritual formation activities, challenges and coping mechanisms based on the lived experiences of Senior High Seminarians. The study is a qualitative design using descriptive phenomenology as methodology. Data were gathered using a researcher-made interview schedule and questionnaire for the focus group discussion (FGD). Ten senior High School seminarians were chosen through purposive sampling. The result shows that most seminarians attended the Mass and praying novena and holy rosary as part of their spiritual formation activities. However, they spent their time playing online mobile games and are addicted to social media, leading them to lack focus and motivation. Seminarians resort to prayer, self-disciplining through avoidance or limitation in using gadgets and social media, and effective and proper to cope with these challenges. It is recommended that the seminary conduct capacity building on how to combat challenges seminarians face and provide a venue for open discussion and feedback so they may have the chance to voice their sentiments and concerns.

THE INFLUENCE OF STORE IMAGE, TRUST, RISK PERCEPTION, AND BENEFIT PERCEPTION ON ONLINE MOBILE PHONE PURCHASE INTENTION

Introduction: The study intends to affect the shop image, trust, risk perception, and benefit perception of online mobile phone purchases. Methods: The Smart PLS program was used in conjunction with data acquired via a questionnaire. Because Sentra Mobile's online store is in Bibli, the population of this study includes the whole Blibli user base. In this study, non-probability sampling is used, which means that a population element has no chance of being chosen as a sample subject. Sampling is a purposeful sampling approach in which the sample is determined using multiple criteria so that it may be utilized as a sample. Results: The findings indicated that each of the variables had an impact on the purchase intention. There is a positive effect on the store's image intended for purchasing mobile phones online. Through trust mediation, store image has a higher favorable impact on the desire to buy mobile phones online. The inclination to acquire a mobile phone online is influenced positively by trust. The perception of risk has a negative effect on the inclination to acquire a mobile phone online. Conclusion and suggestion: This research can be a reference for further research related to the influence of store image, trust, perceived risk, and perceived benefits on the purchase intention of mobile phones online.

Mobilization in the Context of Campaign Functions and Citizen Participation

Mobilization strategies are an essential part of political parties’ campaign communication. By mobilizing voters and supporters, parties promote civic participation in politics, the forms of which have multiplied given the possibilities of user activities on social media. To define their online mobilization strategies, parties have to choose which forms of participation (e.g., voting, donating, or liking or sharing a post) they will seek to mobilize. Understanding mobilization as a communicative appeal to engage audiences in participatory actions, in our study we conceptually linked parties’ mobilizing appeals with three campaign functions—information, interaction, and mobilization—to systematize different types of mobilization. We applied that categorization to the social media campaigns of parties and top candidates in Germany and conducted a manual quantitative content analysis of 1,495 Facebook and 1,088 Instagram posts published in the run-up to the 2021 federal election. Results show that parties primarily mobilized their audiences to vote and seek out more information (e.g., on the party’s website). Although user reactions are generally an important factor of performance on social media, parties mostly avoided calls to like, share, or comment on posts. When compared, the strategies of parties and candidates indicate that mobilization is more the task of parties than of candidates. Differences between Facebook and Instagram can be attributed to the different technical affordances of the platforms. Because Facebook, unlike Instagram, supports clickable links in posts, parties are more likely to encourage users on Facebook to seek out more information online.

Designing Model for Oral Presentation Instruction in Indonesian Tertiary Context

The purpose of oral presentations is to prepare students with the necessary skills for the professional environment. However, it has been observed that the courses offered by universities in East Kalimantan, Indonesia are designed in general English, which may not cater to the specific needs of the learners. This research is intended to determine the optimal oral presentation; however, this study is required to analyze the demands and appropriate model of oral presentation education in tertiary context. Data was gathered through questionnaires and interviews. The questionnaire results show that students need more opportunities to practice logical arguments, pronunciation, collaboration, and regular use of mobile learning to improve their understanding and attitude towards it. Instructors recognize the importance of peer projects and mobile learning in facilitating discussions and sharing among learners and instructors, as it enhances their learning experience. They revealed that online mobile applications such as editing online documents and instant messaging can help to do great collaboration in preparation and implementation phase. According to the result of the need analysis, the authors propose Mobile Technology Enhanced Collaborative Learning (MCOP). It is an oral presentation learning model that emphasizes the importance of utilizing collaboration and technology aspects in learning. The development of the instructional model will provide teachers with a concise and transparent path for teaching oral presentations using mobile technology. This model offers students opportunities to develop their oral presentation skills. The students will have transformational experiences for both their personal and social development.

Mix Mobilization Model as A New Marketing Strategy in the Pandemic Era

The crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic should be able become the momentum for the Indonesian people to make changes. Mainly by developing new habits that are in line with technological advances. The Covid-19 pandemic must be seen as an opportunity so that the Indonesian economy is more globally competitive with the demands of technological progress. The Covid-19 pandemic has made Indonesians master virtual learning as well as running an online business. Learning online and running a business also digitally. Social media has emerged as the dominant digital media platform in contemporary society. The rapid development of social media has driven changes in the way people interact. The use of social media has a huge influence on public relations, marketing. Therefore, the concept of mobilization is their strategy to reach consumers with an increasingly networked platform, (Pradhan & Kumar, 2015). With the use of social media as a new marketing tool that helps consumers to get information and interact with others on the Web. The concept of online mobilization mix, which is abbreviated as SHARE, is storytelling, hype, actionable, relevant, and emotional. In the new model of the business world, entrepreneurs are asked to ride the tide, not against it, as today, many startups can take advantage of successful unicons by intelligently mobilizing their business to netizens to promote their business Implementation of Mobilization and Orchestration strategies, by mobilizing the use of technology to match supply with the demand for various agricultural products more optimally from the farmers. In the hyperconnected era, extraordinary greatness is no longer required, but sufficient mobilization skills (Online Mobilization Mix, SHARE, which is sufficient to mobilize). Based on the results obtained, it can be explained that the R-Square effect value is 0.791, meaning that the orchestration variable can explain the Mix Mobilization Model of 79.1%, and the remaining 20.9% is influenced by other variables not included in this study

Mechanism design for Mobility-as-a-Service platform considering travelers’ strategic behavior and multidimensional requirements

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) is an emerging transport model which provides access to a combination of travel modes through a single platform. A MaaS operator sits between travelers and transport service providers (TSPs), acting as a broker who purchases mobility resources from individual TSPs, constructs seamless transport services, and then sells them to travelers in response to their demand. To ensure the sustainability of such platforms, the key challenge lies in matching travelers to TSPs so that travelers’ individual needs are satisfied, TSPs gain nonnegative profits and system efficiency is achieved. To solve this matching and pricing problem, travelers’ truthful valuations and travel requirements are needed, while such information is usually unknown to operators beforehand. In this study, we develop an auction-based online mobility resource allocation and pricing mechanism to solve this problem, taking into account travelers’ strategic behavior. We first propose an offline (static) mechanism using a Vickrey–Clarke–Groves (VCG) based pricing scheme to ensure incentive compatibility, individual rationality, and system efficiency. We then develop an online mechanism based on the dynamic learning algorithm to obtain the near-optimal solution and compare it to a customized greedy based algorithm. We compare both online mechanisms to the offline VCG based mechanism and theoretically prove the competitive ratios. The efficiency and performance of the proposed mechanisms are demonstrated through a numerical study.

Online mobilisation strategies: Increasing political participation in semi-authoritarian regimes

ABSTRACT Although the importance of weaker and no ties for political-information diffusion was established, previous research did not focus on their primary role in mobilization into low-cost political activities. This study examines online mobilization strategies that increase e-petition signing in semi-authoritarian regimes. The research question is approached by assessing mobilization carried out on Twitter, where communication takes place via weaker ties or no ties, and the Russian social networking service VKontakte, characterized by comparatively stronger ties. To examine how the benefits of participation affect the effectiveness of different mobilization steps, participation on the two biggest e-petitioning platforms in Russia, the Russian public initiative and Change.org, is compared. The significance of the information, persuasion and support effects on the petition signing is tested through linear regression and Bayesian network analyses. The results show that irrespective of the benefits of participation, information-sharing is the most important step for online recruitment into low-cost political activities. Meanwhile, persuasion and social support have no direct impact on e-petition signing.

Spurring and sustaining online consumer activism: the role of cause support and brand relationship in microlevel action frames

Research suggests that social media consumer activism can be motivated through multiple microlevel action frames (MAFs – or simply, microframes). In this study, we examine an online consumer activism campaign against the supermarket chain Carrefour in Brazil and develop a typology of microframes that emerged during this episode of consumer activism. We leverage Twitter data to illustrate the distinction between cause-oriented (centered on animal rights issues) and brand-oriented MAFs (emphasizing consumer disappointment in Carrefour) and examine their influence on the emergence of other online consumer activism microframes. Our findings reveal the complex interplay between cause support (cause-oriented MAF) and perceptions of a brand transgression (brand-oriented MAF) to galvanize collective action. We theorize the roles of distinct MAFs in spurring and sustaining consumers’ online mobilization. Practical recommendations for brand managers are discussed.

Tracing Truth and Rumor Diffusions Over Mobile Social Networks: Who are the Initiators?

With the increasing popularity of mobile devices, each user is able to conveniently acquire messages from others, and share diverse forms of information, like texts, images, or videos through online mobile apps. The full freedom of speech makes a great amount of truth (i.e., true information) and rumor (i.e., false information) propagate rapidly in a hybrid way through mobile platforms. As a huge variety of information floods pouring over us each day, identifying the authenticity of massive events becomes a necessary task to maintain the stability of Mobile Social Networks (MSNs). An important way to realize it is to trace their diffusions and make judgements according to the reliability of sources. With this regard, this paper proposes a diffusion model that characterizes the simultaneous diffusion of both truth and rumor in realistic MSNs, and makes the first attempt to figure out their respective sources. The problem of interest can be stated as: Given an outcome of cascade of both truth and rumor in MSNs, i.e., a set of nodes that might be the ignorant, the spreader of truth or rumor, or simply the silent receiver, how can we infer both truth sources and rumor sources? Different from previous sources detection works considering single type of nodes, the interplay between truth diffusions and rumor diffusions makes the conventional methods not work. To answer this question, we aim to maximize the <i>similarity index</i> , i.e., the number of nodes possessing the same states between the resulting network triggered by our estimated sources with the proposed diffusion model and the given observation network. Compared with existing techniques to trace diffusions of truth or rumor, it is much harder to find two kinds of sets at the same time, including truth sources and rumor sources, due to two primary reasons: (i) our biset optimization makes the submodularity techniques fail; (ii) our objective function is proven to be non-bisubmodular. To overcome above limitations, we first convert the objective <i>similarity index</i> into a bisubmodular function by virtue of set covering. Based on this, we propose an approximation algorithm called Truth and Rumor Sources Detection (TRSD) algorithm via multiple reverse samplings with a provable <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\frac{1}{4(1+\epsilon)^2}$</tex-math></inline-formula> approximation ratio. Further, a novel “time reversal” sources optimization strategy is proposed to converge the number of output sources from TRSD to a steady state. The effectiveness of our models and algorithms are empirical validated in two various datasets, from which we observe an up to 15% of <i>similarity index</i> gain as well as a narrowed down gap 0.6% to the ground truth.

Far-right digital memory activism: Transnational circulation of memes and memory of Yugoslav wars

The terrorist attacks in Norway in 2011 and New Zealand in 2019 have revealed that the far-right worldwide uses the memory of the Yugoslav wars for online mobilization. Scholars working on memory activism usually deal with the liberal, self-critical memory emerging from the bottom-up activism of human rights groups while neglecting the activism of the far-right. This article fills the gap by addressing the global circulation of two memes, Remove Kebab and Pepe the Frog, as examples of far-right memory activism. In order to address the transnational circulation of memes as memory activism, this article employs the concept of ‘traveling memory’ while relying on multimodal discourse analysis to unveil the processes of memetic transformation, imitation, iconization and narrativization. The analysis reveals an alternative memory of Yugoslav wars that depicts Serbia as the first case of ‘white genocide’ in Europe, reversing the roles of war criminals and victims while propagating violence and celebrating genocide. The article argues that memory studies can no longer ignore memory production of far-right communities and, at the same time, outlines the method for examining far-right digital memory activism, revealing a whole set of mnemonic practices developed among the anonymous fringe communities of the far-right.

Understanding Factors Influencing Click-Through Decision in Mobile OTA Search Engine Systems

Mobile commerce has changed the decision environment for users who intend to reserve a preferred hotel. This study aims to investigate the factors that affect the dynamic click-through decision (CTD) in mobile online travel agency (OTA) search engines. We propose a dynamic Bayesian inference framework to model individual-level users’ CTDs and examine the effects of item position, price, search cost, and the use of refinement tools. The study uses real-world search log datasets from a global OTA for both mobile and desktop searches. Our results show that (1) the primacy effect is weaker and the effect of item-ranking positions is non-linear in a mobile OTA search compared to a desktop OTA search. Mobile users pay the most attention to the top-ranking results and are less likely to click through the middle or bottom results. (2) Hotel prices have a positive effect on mobile CTDs in the whole mobile searching journey. Additionally, mobile users also tend to seek out hotels with lower price rankings on the current search engine result page. (3) The search cost, measured by the cumulative time duration, has a positive impact on mobile CTDs. The use of refinement tools enhances the effect of search cost. This study extends previous research on position and price effects in an online consumer search from PC-based internet to mobile devices. It also provides managerial implications for mobile OTA search engine marketing and investment for bidding ranking positions.
