The impact of official rumor-refutation information on the dynamics of rumor spread

The rapid development of the internet has resulted in a significant rise in online rumor spreading. Therefore, effectively reducing or eliminating the harm resulting from these rumors has become a new research focus. This paper proposed a variant of classic Susceptible–Infected–Recovered (SIR) disease transmission model to explore the influence of official rumor-refutation information quantity and content on rumor spread. A nonlinear differential equation model was constructed to describe the rumor propagation process and a next-generation matrix method employed to calculate rumor propagation threshold R0. Two types of equilibrium points are solved, and it is proven that when R0<1, the rumor-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, and when R0>1, the rumor propagation equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable. A sensitivity analysis was performed on R0, and the impact of official rumor-refutation information content on the sensitivity of the R0 related parameters is considered. Then certain numerical values were assigned to the relevant parameters and the evolutionary mechanism simulated in different situations, with the theoretical results being verified using numerical simulation. It was found that the quantity of official rumor-refutation information played a positive but non-critical role in the rumor dissemination process, it even has a backfire effect in rumor controlling process under certain conditions, while the official rumor-refutation information content was a key factor affecting the dissemination threshold; therefore, official rumor-refutation information content needs to be improved to effectively control rumor spread. Finally, some policy suggestions that can contribute to rumor management in an emergency event were given.

P02-09 The dissemination of an effective school-based PA intervention programme: Sigue la Huella (Follow the footprint)

BackgroundA widespread dissemination of effective evidence-based physical activity (PA) interventions is needed whether a greater proportion of the population, who could potentially benefit from it, wants to be reached (Finch et al., 2016). ‘Sigue la Huella' (Follow the Footprint), is one of the few effective evidence-informed PA school-based interventions conducted on adolescents in Europe, with the support of the family and the community (Murillo et al., 2014). The main aim of this study is to describe and analyze the process of dissemination of this intervention program.MethodsThe ‘Sigue la Huella' was implemented at one secondary school situated in Jaca/Huesca (Spain). The Replicating Effective Programs (REP) framework was used, because provides a roadmap for disseminating effective interventions (Kilbourne et al., 2007). The intervention was delivered through workshops, ongoing technical assistance to the teachers, and the distribution of an instructional guide among the teachers and the school staff. A quasi-experimental design was adopted to examine the effect of ‘Sigue la Huella' after its dissemination process. PA was assessed using accelerometers at baseline and after the intervention of 14 weeks. In addition, we evaluated the dissemination process using the PRACTIS guide (Koorts et al., 2018).ResultsFrom an initial evaluation of the dissemination process, several key learnings emerged:To identify strategies for effective stakeholders engagement;To overcome some barriers such as the excess workload of the teachers in charge of disseminating the intervention program;For better measures to determine the success of dissemination approaches (e.g., reliable and valid indicators of organizational and policy change).ConclusionsThis study provides a comprehensive overview of the dissemination process of an effective school-based program identifying contextual barriers and facilitators that influence program implementation in new contexts and the direction of specific strategies to address those barriers.

Key Types of Crowdsourcing in Science: Systematic Literature Review

Recent changes in information systems technology, combined with the postulates of open access to information, are causing the processes of knowledge production and dissemination to change. The necessity of the democratization of science, scientific openness, social orientation of science and the involvement of stakeholders from outside the scientific community in conducting research becomes a necessity for researchers. This is also in line with the guidelines of the European Commission's Community Research and Development Information Service, according to which academics are expected to change the ways of creating knowledge, be oriented towards solving social problems or transgress traditional disciplinary boundaries. Crowdsourcing in science is a collaborative online process through which scientists involve a group of self-selected individuals of varying, diverse knowledge and skills, via an open call to the Internet and/or online platforms, to undertake a specified research task or set of tasks. While research efforts to date have focused on the benefits of crowdsourcing in science, its typology has yet to mature. Typologies are important in describing complex, multidisciplinary organizational forms such as crowdsourcing in science. The main purpose of this article is to identify and provide a typology of crowdsourcing in science. Based on the thematic analysis of publications collected in a systematic manner and focused group interviews, 12 types of crowdsourcing in science are identified. The proposed crowdsourcing in science typology matrix may be a starting point for future research and decision-making by practitioners regarding the choice of a specific type of crowdsourcing in science.

Analysis of information propagation and control of a layered SITR model in complex networks

In the field of complex network research, complex network information transmission models based on infectious disease models are often used to study the mechanism of information transmission. This is helpful for the prediction of information transmission trends and the formulation of control strategies. However, the classification of node types in traditional information transmission models is too simple and cannot reflect the characteristics of each node. To solve the above problems, this study proposes a layered SITR complex network information transmission model. The model is layered according to the influence of nodes, and rational propagator nodes are added to optimize it. The propagation threshold of the model is deduced theoretically and the stability of the model is proved. To reduce the dissemination scale of the network’s public opinion information, an optimal control strategy is proposed based on the Pontryagin maximum principle to optimize the information dissemination process. Finally, combined with real events from social network platform, the simulation results show that the layered SITR model can describe the process of network information dissemination more accurately, and the optimal control strategy can effectively reduce the dissemination scale of the network’s public opinion information.

Reinforcement Learning-Based Routing Protocols in Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANET): A Review

In recent years, flying ad hoc networks have attracted the attention of many researchers in industry and universities due to easy deployment, proper operational costs, and diverse applications. Designing an efficient routing protocol is challenging due to unique characteristics of these networks such as very fast motion of nodes, frequent changes of topology, and low density. Routing protocols determine how to provide communications between drones in a wireless ad hoc network. Today, reinforcement learning (RL) provides powerful solutions to solve the existing problems in the routing protocols, and designs autonomous, adaptive, and self-learning routing protocols. The main purpose of these routing protocols is to ensure a stable routing solution with low delay and minimum energy consumption. In this paper, the reinforcement learning-based routing methods in FANET are surveyed and studied. Initially, reinforcement learning, the Markov decision process (MDP), and reinforcement learning algorithms are briefly described. Then, flying ad hoc networks, various types of drones, and their applications, are introduced. Furthermore, the routing process and its challenges are briefly explained in FANET. Then, a classification of reinforcement learning-based routing protocols is suggested for the flying ad hoc networks. This classification categorizes routing protocols based on the learning algorithm, the routing algorithm, and the data dissemination process. Finally, we present the existing opportunities and challenges in this field to provide a detailed and accurate view for researchers to be aware of the future research directions in order to improve the existing reinforcement learning-based routing algorithms.

Scaling Up Citizen Workshops in Public Libraries to Disseminate and Discuss Primary Care Research Results: Quasi-Experimental Study.

BackgroundLittle is known about engaging patients and stakeholders in the process of scaling up effective knowledge translation interventions targeting the public.ObjectiveUsing an integrated knowledge translation approach, we aimed to scale up and evaluate an effective pilot program to disseminate research results in public libraries.MethodsWe conducted a scaling-up study targeting the public. On the basis of our successful pilot project, we codeveloped and implemented a large-scale program of free citizen workshops in public libraries, in a close research partnership with stakeholders and patient representatives. Citizen workshops, each facilitated by 1 participating physician and 1 science communicator, consisted of a 45-minute computer-assisted presentation and a 45-minute open exchange. The intervention outcome was knowledge gained. The scale-up outcomes were satisfaction, appropriateness, coverage, and costs. An evaluation questionnaire was used to collect data of interest. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed.ResultsThe workshop theme chosen by the patient and stakeholder representatives was the high prevalence of medication overuse among people aged ≥65 years. From April to May 2019, 26 workshops were conducted in 25 public libraries reaching 362 people. The mean age of participants was 64.8 (SD 12.5) years. In total, 18 participating physicians and 6 science communicators facilitated the workshops. Participants reported significant knowledge gain (mean difference 2.1, 95% CI 2.0-2.2; P<.001). The median score for overall public satisfaction was 9 out of 10 (IQR 8-10). The public participants globally rated the workshops as having a high level of appropriateness. Coverage was 92% (25/27) of the total number of public libraries targeted. Costs were CAD $6051.84 (US $4519.69) for workshop design and CAD $22,935.41 (US $17,128.85) for scaling them up.ConclusionsThis project successfully established a large-scale and successful implementation science or knowledge translation bridge among researchers, clinicians, and citizens via public libraries. This study provides a model for a dissemination practice that benefits the public by both engaging them in the dissemination process and targeting them directly.

Effects of metastatic CRC predictors on treatment outcomes

BackgroundColorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most commonly diagnosed malignant tumor. The problem of mCRC is urgent due to both an increase in the number of metastatic tumors and the implementation of high-tech treatment methods that have significantly improved the results of a 5-year survival. MethodsThe research used the method of experiment and observation. Current study included data of 332 patients with CRC who received comprehensive treatment from 2014 to 2018 in oncology centers of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The patients were treated according to the clinical protocols for the treatment of oncological diseases approved in the Republic of Kazakhstan, including surgical treatment, as well as chemotherapy and radiation therapy, depending on the stage and localization of the process. A comprehensive treatment also included surgical treatment, chemotherapy, targeted chemotherapy and, in some cases, radiation therapy for rectal cancer. The diagnosis was confirmed morphologically in all patients; process dissemination was recorded using standard examination methods. Among the patients, women prevailed – 182 (54.8%) women and 150 men (45.2%) were included; the Caucasian race prevailed – 170 (51.2%) patients and 162 (48.8%) patients were of the Asian race. The mean age of the patients at the time of treatment was 56.4 ± 0.6 years (from 25 to 79 years). Histologically, adenocarcinoma prevailed represented by glandular – in 95.6%, mucous – in 2.9% and trabecular – in 1.5% of cases. A comprehensive treatment was used in 209 (63.0%) patients and other types of treatment were used in 123 (37.0%) patients (PCT, stoma + PCT). Radiation therapy was administered to 13 (3.9%) patients diagnosed with rectal cancer. ResultsA comparative analysis of the results of pharmacotherapy in the patients with mCRC showed that of 332 patients, 263 (79.2%) received targeted chemotherapy and 69 (20.8%) received standard polychemotherapy. At the time of the study, 85 (32.3%) patients in the targeted chemotherapy group were still alive, with a median survival of 42.0 ± 1.7 months, 95% CI (38.6–45.4). In the polychemotherapy group, 7 (10.1%) patients were alive, while the median survival rate was 20.0 ± 1.7 months, 95% CI (16.6–23.4). ConclusionBased on the results, it was concluded that targeted chemotherapy schemes increased progression-free survival, compared to standard polychemotherapy schemes.

Machine and Feedstock Interdependence Modeling for Manufacturing Networks Performance Analysis

The input of low-quality feedstocks triggers the interdependence between workpiece quality and machine reliability, which will further adversely impact the performance of manufacturing systems. Considering the interconnected manufacturing system structures, our primary goal is to provide an effective method to compute the performance of networked manufacturing systems suffering from machine and low-quality feedstock interdependence. The strength of our work first lies in the model for the compound degradation process of machines and dissemination of low-quality feedstocks, which enables us to construct a response chain to model the interdependence between machines and feedstocks in the manufacturing network. Then, the second strength is the effective algorithm for the computation of route connectivity and quality loss of a manufacturing network based on the interdependence model. A computational experiment shows our models and algorithm can work well for evaluating the operational performance of manufacturing networks.

How kidneys work? Developing of Android-based Adobe animate media for senior high school students

Media is one of the determining factors for learning success which can accommodate student critical thinking. Moreover, during the COVID-19 pandemic, learning media became crucial in online learning. This study aims to produce and test the feasibility of android-based media on kidney material developed through Adobe Animate CC software. In addition, it also to find the effectiveness of the media in improving the critical thinking skills of eleventh graders students when used in online learning. Borg &amp; Gall's model was used in this research and development but was limited to the seventh stage. Data collection techniques used interviews, validation (media and material experts), and test. The instruments used are interview sheets, validation sheets, response questionnaires, and essays (five critical thinking questions). The test subjects were 15 senior high school students in Bantur, East Java, Indonesia. The validation results from media and material experts show that the media is "very feasible" to use. Teachers and students stated that the media was "very practical" in online learning. There is a significant difference between students' critical thinking skills before and after using the media, t(14) = 5.65, p &lt; 0.001. The study finding becomes the basis for continuing the process of media dissemination.

The impacts of exosomes on bone metastatic progression and their potential clinical utility

Bone is one of the most common sites of cancer metastasis. Once cancer metastasizes to the bone, the mortality rate of cancer patients dramatically increases. Although the exact mechanisms for this observation remain elusive, recent studies have revealed that the complex crosstalk between bone marrow microenvironment and bone metastatic cancer cells is responsible for the induction of treatment resistance. Consequently, bone metastasis is currently considered incurable. Bone metastasis not only impairs the patients' survival, but also negatively affects their quality of life by causing painful complications. It has recently been implicated the regulatory role of exosomes in cancer development and/or progression as a delivery biomaterial between cancer cells and tumor microenvironment. However, little is known as to how exosomes contribute to the progression of bone metastasis by impaction on the crosstalk between bone metastatic cancer cells and bone marrow microenvironment. Here, we highlighted the emerging roles of cancer-derived exosomes in (i) the process of dissemination and bone colonization of bone metastatic cancer cells, (ii) the enhancement of crosstalk between bone marrow microenvironment and bone metastatic cancer cells, (iii) the development of its resultant painful complications, and (iv) the clinical applications of exosomes in the bone metastatic setting.

Lessons learnt from delivering the public and patient involvement forums within a younger onset dementia project.

Including the ‘voices’ of people living with dementia in a meaningful way is pivotal in shaping local, national and international health and social dementia care research. The Alzheimer’s Society (United Kingdom) funded Angela Project (2016–19) was aimed at improving the diagnosis and post-diagnostic support for younger people living with dementia. From the outset, the Project Team ensured that the knowledge and expertise of people living with a younger onset dementia was integral to all decisions taken in respect to overall project design, implementation, and dissemination processes. This was achieved by establishing two project public and patient involvement (PPI) forums; a London PPI Forum and a Bradford-based local PPI Hub. This paper describes how the two groups were formed; the format of the meetings; and the key points learnt by the Project Team from involving people with dementia in all aspects of developing and delivering the Angela Project. Ultimately, the aim is to demonstrate to other researchers in the dementia field how the perspectives of those with a diagnosis can be included in research studies in an active and meaningful way.

A Framework for the Development of Living Practice Guidelines in Health Care.

Living practice guidelines are increasingly being used to ensure that recommendations are responsive to rapidly emerging evidence. To develop a framework that characterizes the processes of development of living practice guidelines in health care. First, 3 background reviews were conducted: a scoping review of methods papers, a review of handbooks of guideline-producing organizations, and an analytic review of selected living practice guidelines. Second, the core team drafted the first version of the framework. Finally, the core team refined the framework through an online survey and online discussions with a multidisciplinary international group of stakeholders. International. Multidisciplinary group of 51 persons who have experience with guidelines. Not applicable. A major principle of the framework is that the unit of update in a living guideline is the individual recommendation. In addition to providing definitions, the framework addresses several processes. The planning process should address the organization's adoption of the living methodology as well as each specific guideline project. The production process consists of initiation, maintenance, and retirement phases. The reporting should cover the evidence surveillance time stamp, the outcome of reassessment of the body of evidence (when applicable), and the outcome of revisiting a recommendation (when applicable). The dissemination process may necessitate the use of different venues, including one for formal publication. This study does not provide detailed or practical guidance for how the described concepts would be best implemented. The framework will help guideline developers in planning, producing, reporting, and disseminating living guideline projects. It will also help research methodologists study the processes of living guidelines. None.

Wasted world o sporco mondo: tradurre i testi divulgativi per ragazzi sull’ambiente

The paper focuses on the Italian translations of two English informational books for children: Wasted World (2009) and Kids Fight Climate Change (2020), which deal with environmental issues. Informational books texts result from a complex dissemination process aimed at making specialised knowledge comprehensible to young readers. To achieve this purpose, informational books rely on various discursive popularising strategies, such as an array of explanations, and various methods for eliciting readers’ engagement, such as questions and irony. Indeed, they are part of what has come to be known as “edutainment,” in which education and entertainment are intertwined to create a “hybrid genre” (Buckingham and Scanlon, 2005). As the texts examined in the paper engage with ecology and environmental issues, they have a dual purpose: to inform and to raise awareness (ecoliteracy). Despite the importance of popularising texts, the translation of such products is still an underexplored field of research. The comparative analysis of the two English texts and their respective Italian translations centres on how global warming and climate change are described in the source and target texts. It examines how the popularising strategies are translated, given their importance in knowledge dissemination for children. The findings indicate that Italian translations, though retaining the combination of education and entertainment, tend to be more precise and more complex than the source texts. This is in line with the intercultural differences identified between Low Context (LC) cultures and High Context (HC) cultures.

Religious Moderation at Pesantren Al-Hikmah 1 Benda-Brebes

Technological developments in the context of the industrial revolution 4.0 that affect religious practices do not automatically shift the entire religious values and principles of society. Religious disruption as an impact of that condition is actually responded well by the Pesantren Al-Hikmah 1 as salafy-modern pesantren through strengthening moderate values and characters in the perspective of Sayyid Muhammad bin Alawy al-Māliky. By using a qualitative-descriptive approach, this study would analyze the process of internalization and dissemination of the values of religious moderation at the Pesantren Al-Hikmah 1, the teaching of tolerance reflected in the management of Pesantren Al-Hikmah 1, and the social interaction of the santri with the surrounding society in the Benda Village. This study found that the disruption in technology which is considered major problem for the religious practices, surprisingly constructs a new pattern of religious moderation among the santri at Pesantren Al-Hikmah 1 in the midst of the era of disruption 4.0.

The Development of Telegram Bot Api to Maximize The Dissemination Process of Islamic Knowledge in 4.0 Era

Information technology is developing quickly in this era as if the world is in our hands. All forms of information can be accessed quickly, including Islamic information by utilizing internet technology. One of well-known medium to spread information is social media. Telegram, as one of the social media that has various beneficial features and widely used by people, has the potential to be a medium for disseminating Islamic knowledge. To improve the dissemination process of Islamic knowledge, we used one of the services found on Telegram namely chatbot. By utilizing Telegram Bot API, we make a bot that can automatically provide output according to the command given by the user in this case, giving various Islamic knowledges that users need such as Tafsir, hadith, daily prayer, and even Islamic history with a reliable source. Based on the testing result, the bot is showing a good result because it’s displaying the expected output and all features are working fine as they should be. We hoped that this bot can maximize the dissemination process of Islamic knowledge in Indonesia and reach wider audience coverage.

Physicians’ attitudes towards medical cannabis: a survey from Uruguay

Background: Although Uruguay was the first country to legalize cannabis at a national level, regulations for the medicinal component have been slow in coming. The integration of medical cannabis into the healthcare system remains a challenge, and the regulatory framework is still under review. In this context, physicians’ opinions must be considered. This study aims to determine the medical community’s attitudes towards cannabis. Methods: We conducted an anonymous self-administered online survey. Several national physician organizations collaborated in the dissemination process. The questionnaire inquired about cannabis-related topics such as knowledge, experience, attitudes, and the perceived barriers they encounter. Results: A total of 275 physicians responded to the survey. The vast majority stated that they had been consulted by their patients about cannabis, although only half of them had formally or informally recommended it. Finally, we found almost unanimous agreement among physicians that medical cannabis should be legal. Discussion: Uruguayan physicians have a positive view regarding the legalization of medical cannabis and are in favor of recommending its use. The main barrier to doing so is the lack of knowledge about incorporating it into their clinical practice. Medical cannabis should be addressed by public policies by providing training opportunities and institutional support.

URUN DAYA MASYARAKAT DALAM REAKTUALISASI KIPO SEBAGAI JAJANAN KHAS KOTAGEDE YOGYAKARTA

One of the richness of Indonesian culture is reflected in the diversity of traditional local foods that are consumed by the community. Along with the times, the existence of most local food is increasingly threatened. One of them is Kipo, a traditional snack from Yogyakarta. As the first step to preserve it, this article explores in-depth to get to know Kipo and find out the opportunities and challenges faced to survive as one of the typical snacks from Yogyakarta. Based on empirical research (Field Research) with data collection through interviews, observations, and literature studies, it was found that Kipo is one of the traditional snacks of Kotagede which has historical and cultural values. Its existence has the potential to be developed into an attraction for culinary tourism activities. To make this happen, it takes the cooperation of the government and local residents to rebrand the Kipo. And what should not be left behind is utilizing mass media and the internet to support the process of information dissemination and promotion

Tumour invasion and dissemination.

Activating invasion and metastasis are one of the primary hallmarks of cancer, the latter representing the leading cause of death in cancer patients. Whilst many advances in this area have been made in recent years, the process of cancer dissemination and the underlying mechanisms governing invasion are still poorly understood. Cancer cells exhibit multiple invasion strategies, including switching between modes of invasion and plasticity in response to therapies, surgical interventions and environmental stimuli. The ability of cancer cells to switch migratory modes and their inherent plasticity highlights the critical challenge preventing the successful design of cancer and anti-metastatic therapies. This mini-review presents current knowledge on the critical models of tumour invasion and dissemination. We also discuss the current issues surrounding current treatments and arising therapeutic opportunities. We propose that the establishment of novel approaches to study the key biological mechanisms underlying the metastatic cascade is critical in finding novel targets that could ultimately lead to complete inhibition of cancer cell invasion and dissemination.
