Confronting Craniosynostosis: Maternal Concerns, Challenges, and Coping for their Children.

The study objective was to characterize shared online experiences surrounding craniosynostosis. Isolated and syndromic craniosynostosis-related consecutive posts (N = 700) made by patients and caregivers were extracted from TikTok and Instagram between 2017-2024. A cross-sectional qualitative analysis following guidelines for practical thematic analysis was performed. The majority of posts were by caregivers (96%) and by females (97%). Forty categorical subthemes from social media posts were synthesized into 4 predominant themes. Overarching thematic trends included Emotional and Psychological Support (47%), Medical Information and Treatment (27%), Family and Social Dynamics (15%), and Awareness, Education, and Advocacy (12%). Social media is used by caregivers, primarily mothers, for emotional support, processing health information, sharing experiences, raising awareness, and celebrating "cranioversaries." Male and patient perspectives were underrepresented. Physicians may use social media to gain insights, disseminate quality health information, and connect with patients.

Millennials’ Behavioural Intention of Sharing Online Video Advertising (OVAs): Mediating Role of Company Reputation Perspective

Online Video Advertisings (OVAs) have become more popular due to the increasing number of people who use the internet to search for information and buy things. This study examines three components of Theory Planned Behaviour (TPB): attitude (ATT), subjective norm (SN), and perceived behavioural control (PBC), and how they relate to sharing OVAs. The study investigates how company reputation impacts the correlation between these variables. A total of 208 millennials in Selangor were given questionnaire to gather the data. Partial least squares-structural equation modelling technique was used to examine the data. The findings show that ATT and SN have an impact on millennials’ intention to share OVA. The mediation result indicates that company reputation partially mediates the relationship between PBC and the intention to share OVAs. The results of this study add to the body of knowledge while giving practitioners, particularly marketers, practical knowledge about efficient marketing strategies.

541 A Framework for Multicultural and Multidisciplinary Near-Peer Mentoring for Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Education: A University of Florida Friend Group

OBJECTIVES/GOALS: This work aims to explore how citizen science serves as a transformative frame work to bridge scientific knowledge, focusing on its potential to enhance transdisciplinary learning in artificial intelligence (AI) biomedical and clinical sciences by facilitating near-peer mentoring. METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Our group of eight friends comprise a multicultural and multidisciplinary cohort including students from the USA, Philippines, Indonesia, and Guatemala pursuing PhD degrees in electrical and computer engineering, epidemiology, physics, and MD, PharmD, and DMD degrees. We engage in shared online courses, collaborative projects, and abstract submissions. Employing our collective knowledge, we design interactive learning experiences, support each other’s initiatives, and collaboratively develop lectures and presentations. We in tend to expand collaborations in biomedical AI education while fostering principles of experiential and collaborativelearning, constructivism, and authentic inquiry. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our recent successes include submittedconference abstracts on data science and AI education in pharmacy and the facilitation of a guest lecture in health informatics. Additionally, we are currently collaborating on seven biomedical machine learning projects in radio frequency engineering, aiming for conference submissions. Moving forward, our goal is to expand our group, support the formation of similar communities, and promote data science and AI literacy in biomedical and clinical contexts. We aspire to extend this knowledge to families, classmates, and eventually patients, facilitating a broader understanding of the role of AI in healthcare. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We believe diverse expertise and pedagogical theories can help demonstrate the potential of citizen science to democratize scientific experience. By nurturing collaborative networks our efforts aim to bridge gaps between disciplines and enhance the broader public’s understanding of AI in healthcare.

“Shared Online, Made People Envious, Felt Good”

An online survey of 200 participants was conducted on the experiences of sharing material and immaterial artifacts, focusing on interaction with non-media content types. The survey included six categories of sharing: music preferences, travel plans, sports activities, apartments and vehicles, virtual items in online games, and dietary preferences. The study identified factors that motivate participation in content-mediated interaction: discovery, curating self, connectedness, collaboration, enjoyment, and instrumental motivations, as a set of six motivating factors driving contemporary sharing practices. The authors consolidated findings from earlier work on motivations to share personal content, validating the set of motivating factors with the six selected non-media types of content. The results suggest that both extrinsic and intrinsic motivations affect content sharing practices. Furthermore, motivating factors were mapped to the reported positive and negative experiences, in order to understand their relation and to discuss their capacity to guide user experience design.

Experience of using online educational courses in teaching students of technical universities

This article is devoted to the problem of rethinking the use of online educational courses (OEC) in teaching students of technical universities in social, humanitarian and a number of specialized disciplines. The positive and negative aspects of the introduction of online educational courses into the modern educational process are considered. The article offers three formats of online educational courses: Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), Shared Online Educational Courses (SOEC), and University Online Educational Courses (UOEC), which could successfully improve the existing system of teaching students, both in Russia and in the Republic of Kazakhstan. Online educational courses (OEC) in this article are considered in a broad context and include the concepts of «electronic educational resources», «distance learning» and «online learning» in general. The authors also highlighted the positions approved by federal legislation regarding the introduction of online educational courses (OEC) in the environment of the university, offered their vision of the implementation of these documents. The authors made the following conclusions: on the one hand the use of online educational courses is a prerequisite for the successful existence of any educational organization in modern reality, on the other hand OECs (MOOCs, SEOCs, UOECs) implemented within the framework of the model of replacing part of full-time courses with exclusively distance format are not suitable for all students. The vast majority of students are still ready to study online educational courses under teachers’ supervision with the use of blended learning.

A Further Step toward Sustainable Development: The Case of the Edible Mushroom Supply Chain.

This study provides an accurate economic characterization of the supply of edible mushrooms throughout Italy within the European context to fill the relevant research gap and highlight barriers and opportunities that are consistent with the Sustainable Development Goals. Italian companies operating in this field were identified and economically characterized using the Chamber of Commerce's Register of Companies. A qualitative web content analysis was then conducted to extract information about the marketed products, mushroom species, and retail channels, as well as the adopted certifications. The obtained data were quantitatively analyzed through descriptive statistics and multiple correspondence analysis. The Italian market is concentrated in northern areas of the country, and the limited company size indicates fragmentation at the production level, which led to Italy not being competitive enough and, thus, heavily rely on imports. Production is limited to less than 10 species, and innovative mushroom-based products, such as burgers, have shown a limited presence on the market, although they are gaining market share online. The novelty of growing kits highlights the potential to use food production waste to create fungal substrates. Investments in training new mushroom growers and studying new formulations and new fungal species are needed; these investments could allow greater market differentiation and be a good opportunity to promote local economies and create new job opportunities, thus meeting the requirements for sustainable development.

Editorial

This special issue of VIEW was inspired by a call from the final conference of the project “European History Reloaded: Curation and Appropriation of Digital Audiovisual Heritage” (CADEAH). The project brought together interdisciplinary expertise in the curation of digital audiovisual heritage, contemporary European history and Digital Humanities to study the ‘afterlife’ of digitized audiovisual heritage once it was made accessible and shared online, something that has seen a great deal of growth throughout the first two decades of this century. What happens to digitized audiovisual heritage once it is shared online? How does audiovisual heritage circulate online? To what extent do users re-use or re-mix audiovisual heritage? And, more specifically from an archival perspective: How do strategies of curation shape the appropriation of digitized heritage? What new perspectives on European history and identity do digital curations and appropriations of audiovisual heritage create? How can audiovisual archives better foster the re-use of Europe’s audiovisual heritage? With this issue we wanted to broaden our view and discuss our insights with scholars from diverse disciplines and with diverse professional backgrounds. These articles showcase the methodological and conceptual approaches that are being used across Europe to understand, and encourage, the use of audiovisual heritage, investigating contemporary practices of re-use and the ways that archives themselves think about these challenges.

Peer editing using shared online documents: the effects of comments and track changes on student L2 academic writing quality

While the use of collaborative peer editing is widespread in some online learning contexts, little is known about how constituent editing behaviours impact student writing quality when using shared online documents as the mediating tool. Therefore, the present study (n = 176) examines the effects of English language learners’ peer editing behaviours (comments and track changes) within the Google Docs platform on their subsequent academic writing quality at both individual and group levels. To better understand peer editing, the current study further divided track changes into either adding words or deleting words. Given the data’s complexity, a two-level correlation analysis was used. The results showed that, at the individual level, words deleted by editors were positively associated with students’ individual writing quality in the Introduction section. Further, words added by editors in the Introduction section were negatively associated with student individual writing. At the level of the peer editing group, there was a positive statistically significant correlation between words added and student writing quality in the Introduction and Discussion sections. Interestingly, comments had little association with student writing at the individual or group level.

Echo Tunnels: Polarized News Sharing Online Runs Narrow but Deep

Online social platforms afford users vast digital spaces to share and discuss current events. However, scholars have concerns both over their role in segregating information exchange into ideological echo chambers, and over evidence that these echo chambers are nonetheless over-stated. In this work, we investigate news-sharing patterns across the entirety of Reddit and find that the platform appears polarized macroscopically, especially in politically right-leaning spaces. On closer examination, however, we observe that the majority of this effect originates from small, hyper-partisan segments of the platform accounting for a minority of news shared. We further map the temporal evolution of polarized news sharing and uncover evidence that, in addition to having grown drastically over time, polarization in hyper-partisan communities also began much earlier than 2016 and is resistant to Reddit's largest moderation event. Our results therefore suggest that social polarized news sharing runs narrow but deep online. Rather than being guided by the general prevalence or absence of echo chambers, we argue that platform policies are better served by measuring and targeting the communities in which ideological segregation is strongest.

Abstract 4185: Inclusive basic and advanced translational laboratory research competencies for research in cancer biology and therapeutics

Abstract Our Laboratory was established in 1994 at Univ. of Pennsylvania. Lab members demonstrated initial competencies by performing cell culture, western blots, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry showing induction of p53/p21(WAF1) in cells treated with chemotherapy. Years later, our Laboratory of Translational Oncology & Experimental Cancer Therapeutics moved to Penn State Univ., Fox Chase Cancer Center/Temple Univ. and then Brown Univ. By 2020, with desire for inclusiveness (everyone succeeds), scientific rigor/reproducibility mandated by NIH, and as a training and mentoring activity (lab scientists/trainees/students mentoring others at High School level and beyond), we established a process for onboarding and training new cancer researchers. By Fall of 2022, there were 17 current Brown University undergraduate students (10 receiving research credit and 7 not receiving credit), HS students, 7 graduate students (PhD, masters, MD/PhD), and 6 medical students working with collaborating faculty at our laboratory at Brown’s Legorreta Cancer Center. After completion of biosafety training, and required trainings such as by IACUC, new lab members complete basic competencies in cell culture, cell viability, and western blot analysis that include technical, presentation quality output, and quantitative/statistical rigor to satisfy current standards for journal publication. For cell culture this includes pathogen free conditions, authentication, attention to details of routine procedures, documentation of morphology, freezing, thawing, passaging, seeding density, and managing cell populations to not run out of cells. Cell viability assessment includes attention to culture conditions, synergy analysis, data robustness, and presentation, and for western blots attention to quality of blots, protein quantification, loading, labeling, antibody specificity and sensitivity controls, presentation at 2022 standards, conventions for splicing, and issues with reproducibility including biological replicates, and generalizability. Additional and advanced competencies include RT-PCR, long-term colony assays, 3-D cultures (spheroids, organoids), transfection (overexpression, knockdown, CRISPR), co-culture and triculture with immune cells and fibroblasts, cytokine profiling, in vivo studies, in vivo imaging, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometric analysis, single cell techniques, viral infection, circulating tumor cell isolation, blood immune and cytokine analysis, and work with transgenic organoids and inducible cancer predisposing alleles. Modeling the tumor microenvironment, relevance to human cancer and translational directions are emphasized. Shared online lab resources, protocols, practices, videos, and manuscripts are available for lab members. The framework herein may be of interest to others involved in similar training programs.

Supporting the wellbeing of associate lecturers at the Open University through a creative arts intervention

This case study discusses an online space created for associate lecturers (ALs) working at the Open University, with the intention of supporting wellbeing through sharing – and responding to – each other’s examples of creative arts activities. This paper reflects on engagement with and outcomes from this intervention. Four key themes emerged in participant responses to the intervention: 1) increased connectedness; 2) a feeling of being away from work; 3) happiness, enjoyment and positive feelings; and 4) openness to new places, ideas and shares. The results were analysed in line with available studies on sense of belonging, connectedness and well-being. This project highlights the potential for shared online creative activities to support connectedness and wellbeing in educators and students who are working in the online environment.

DementiaBank: Theoretical Rationale, Protocol, and Illustrative Analyses.

Dementia from Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized primarily by a significant decline in memory abilities; however, language abilities are also commonly affected and may precede the decline of other cognitive abilities. To study the progression of language, there is a need for open-access databases that can be used to build algorithms to produce translational models sensitive enough to detect early declines in language abilities. DementiaBank is an open-access repository of transcribed video/audio data from communicative interactions from people with dementia, mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and controls. The aims of this tutorial are to (a) describe the newly established standardized DementiaBank discourse protocol, (b) describe the Delaware corpus data, and (c) provide examples of automated linguistic analyses that can be conducted with the Delaware corpus data and describe additional DementiaBank resources. The DementiaBank discourse protocol elicits four types of discourse: picture description, story narrative, procedural, and personal narrative. The Delaware corpus currently includes data from 20 neurotypical adults and 33 adults with MCI from possible AD who completed the DementiaBank discourse protocol and a cognitive-linguistic battery. Language samples were video- and audio-recorded, transcribed, coded, and uploaded to DementiaBank. The protocol materials and transcription programs can be accessed for free via the DementiaBank website. Illustrative analyses show the potential of the Delaware corpus data to help understand discourse metrics at the individual and group levels. In addition, they highlight analyses that could be used across TalkBank's other clinical banks (e.g., AphasiaBank). Information is also included on manual and automatic speech recognition transcription methods. DementiaBank is a shared online database that can facilitate research efforts to address the gaps in knowledge about language changes associated with MCI and dementia from AD. Identifying early language markers could lead to improved assessment and treatment approaches for adults at risk for dementia.

The Virtual Palaeosciences (ViPs) project: resources for online learning in or out of a pandemic

ABSTRACT The Virtual Palaeosciences (ViPs) project is a collaborative initiative bringing palaeoscientists together to locate, access and share online educational resources (OERs). It began as a response to the 2020 shift to online learning when the COVID-19 pandemic curtailed field and lab work. We outline the development and initial outcomes of the project and consider future directions post-pandemic. Our initial focus was to create a searchable list of OERs (now numbers 600+). The project has also promoted co-operation across institutions and created new collaborations. It became clear that even experienced and teaching-focused educators were anxious about how to incorporate virtual materials and develop alternatives to field and laboratory work and deliver their intended learning outcomes. ViPs aim to become a “hub” for palaeoscience teaching resources. While some face-to-face teaching has returned in Higher Education, the benefits of online elements have become clear to students and educators alike. Therefore, following the pandemic, an increasing shift towards a blended delivery with greater use of OERs in palaeoscience and other disciplines is likely. Longer term, the ViPs project also seeks to increase inclusive, accessible education in the palaeosciences through the digital enhancement of provision, by supporting both users and creators of virtual teaching materials.

Health Professionals' Attitude Toward the Use of Social Media for COVID-19 Related Information in Northwest Ethiopia: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BackgroundSocial media platform is one way to share online information regarding pandemic prevention. However, there is no study regarding the attitude of health professionals toward social media use for the COVID-19-related information. This study aimed to assess health professionals' attitudes toward using social media for COVID-19-related information.MethodsAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 355 health professionals in Bahir Dar city public health centers, Northwest Ethiopia. A pretested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect the data. The data were entered by EPI-data version 4.6 and analyzed using SPSS version 23 software. Descriptive statistics, bivariable, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to describe respondents' attitudes toward using social media for COVID-19 information and identify associated factors. An adjusted odds ratio (OR) and a p-value with a 95% CI were calculated to measure the strength of the association and assess statistical significance.ResultOut of 341 participants, about 73% of the participants had a good attitude toward the use of social media for COVID-19 information. Age < 24 [adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 3.74, 95% CI: (1.53–9.13)] and age group 25–34 years [AOR = 2.25, 95% CI: (1.04–4.86)], computer training [AOR = 2.03, 95% CI: (1.03–4.00)], usefulness of social media [AOR = 3.25, 95% CI: (1.58–6.67)], and trustworthiness [AOR = 3.57, 95% CI: (1.93–6.60)] were enabling factors for attitude toward the use of social media for COVID-19 related information.ConclusionHealth professionals had a moderate attitude toward using social media for accessing COVID-19-related information. This implies that after considering positive attitude predictors, such as providing basic computer training, emphasizing the usefulness of social media, and building trusted social media pages, social media platforms can be used as a source of COVID-19-related information for health professionals.

Social Sharing of Emotion During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

The long-term uncertainty and persistence of isolation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic created prolonged emotional distress individually and collectively. As the pandemic progressed, the dynamic ride of emotional experience was expressed live and shared online, particularly on social media. In this study, we collected posted messages on Twitter for a longitudinal investigation to determine how emotional experiences changed over time during the pandemic. In total, we analyzed 41,868,013 COVID-19-related tweets in English posted from January 21 to July 31, 2020. Using a stage model, the results demonstrated that there were three stages during the pandemic characterized by distinct emotional changes. The first stage features high anxiety and negative emotions compared with the other stages, possibly due to the lack of information about the disease. The second stage shows the dynamic ride of all emotions and an increase in negative emotions (particularly anger) as the COVID-19 pandemic proceeds. In the third stage, most emotions are stabilized, except for depression, despite the protracted pandemic.

The Role of Novel Citizenship Norms in Signing and Sharing Online Petitions

Ideas about what makes a ‘good citizen’ continue to evolve alongside the digitalisation of political participation. We examine these interrelated trends through an in-depth analysis of the normative basis for contemporary online petitioning. This article uses original survey data in Australia and Germany to confirm the emergence of distinctive ‘contribution’ citizenship norms which emphasise the importance of sharing content through networked communications infrastructures. We then examine the relationship between these novel citizenship norms and online petitioning, differentiating online petitioning along two dimensions of mode (signing versus sharing) and frequency. First, we find ‘contribution’ norms are more associated with sharing online petitions than signing them. Second, ‘contribution’ norms are more associated with high-frequency sharing and signing, as opposed to more casual instances of participation. In combination, these findings show that contribution norms are distinctively associated with more intensive forms of online petitioning (e.g. frequent sharing), while more casual forms (such as casual signing) are supported by a more diverse range of normative orientations. We conclude that the way citizens engage with online petitions reflects, in part, their normative orientation to contributing information towards networked communication infrastructures.

Cooperative models for digital archives

Cooperative models for digital archives management offer innovative means of utilising resources, skills and knowledge from multiple institutions to support shared online collections. To outline the benefits and challenges of working within a consortial model, this paper provides three case studies, focusing on distributed governance, metadata quality assurance, resource sharing, financial security, and diversity and equity. While the increased number of stakeholders can complicate the management of a shared digital media repository, strategies such as hierarchical funding structures, means of ensuring transparent and equitable decision making, and a reliance on distributed skill sets can ensure a digital library project is successful for both partners and users.

Research on the Reform of the Blended Teaching Mode of the Course "Tour Guide Practice" under the Background of "Internet +"

With the continuous development of information technology, "Internet +" has been widely used in various fields of social life, bringing all walks of life into a new ecological environment. In the relatively quiet field of education, "Internet +" is also impacting the traditional teaching model, and school education is gradually moving from closed classroom education to an open and shared online world. The major of tourism management in colleges and universities is a "theory + practice" major, while "Guide Tour Practice" is a highly theoretical and practical course. Under the background of "Internet + Tourism" and "Internet + Education", it is necessary to integrate the "Internet +" concept into the classroom teaching of "Tour Guide Practice". Through "Internet + tourism management education", a new model of "Internet +" classroom teaching has been explored, and more excellent tourism talents have been cultivated.
