Public attention to Indonesian dynastic politics: an analysis of social media networks

ABSTRACT This research aims to identify and map social networks on social media We took a dataset from as the unit of analysis. We did data mining from X to collect 19,231 Tweets, 20,023 re-tweets, and 11,890 nodes and 9466 edges. The research results concluded that the communication network map on social media X identified the Gibran node which has intermediary factors and relationships as well as the actor with the most centrality and is a link to other actors in the social media communication network X by becoming the trending topic ‘Gibran’. The communication network metrics graph also found the ‘Gibran’ account to be the actor with the most contacts on ‘X’. The ‘Jokowi’ account was the second most contacted. This research found a gap in the need to expand the analysis to different cultures or countries to understand differences and similarities in social interaction patterns. Another gap in this research exists in terms of expanding the analysis to different topics or communities to gain a broader understanding of social network dynamics.

Exploring Digital Biomarkers for Depression Using Mobile Technology

Introduction & BackgroundWith the advent of ubiquitous sensors and mobile technologies, wearables and smartphones offer a cost-effective means for monitoring mental health conditions, particularly depression. These devices enable the continuous collection of behavioral data, providing novel insights into the daily manifestations of depressive symptoms. Objectives & ApproachThe present study summarizes findings from our five recent investigations that explored the relationships between depression severity and digital biomarkers captured by wearables and smartphones. These studies analyzed data from RADAR-MDD, a multinational mobile health program, involving 623 participants and tracked for up to two years. Participants' depression severity was measured biweekly using the PHQ-8 questionnaire conducted via smartphones. Concurrently, participants’ Fitbit and smartphone data were also collected. Given the longitudinal nature and repeated measurements for each participant, multilevel modeling techniques were employed to analyze the data. Relevance to Digital FootprintsOur approach involved extracting features from passive data that reflect various aspects of daily behavior—such as sleep quality, social interaction, physical activity, and walking patterns—akin to digital footprints. ResultsWe found several significant links between depression severity and various behavioral biomarkers: elevated depression levels were associated with diminished sleep quality (assessed through Fitbit metrics), reduced sociability (approximated by Bluetooth), decreased levels of physical activity (quantified by step counts and GPS data), a slower cadence of daily walking (captured by smartphone accelerometers), and disturbances in circadian rhythms (analyzed across various data streams). Conclusions & ImplicationsLeveraging digital biomarkers for assessing and continuously monitoring depression introduces a new paradigm in early detection and development of customized intervention strategies. Findings from these studies not only enhance our comprehension of depression in real-world settings but also underscore the potential of mobile technologies in the prevention and management of mental health issues.

Dampak Urbanisasi Dalam Kehidupan Masyarakat Kota

In this article, the impact of urbanization on the lives of the people of Serang City is discussed. This article identifies various impacts due to urbanization through research and analysis carried out. Urbanization in Serang City affects many aspects of community life and the environment. One of the main effects of urbanization in Serang City is changes in land use. Green spaces and agricultural land have been converted into housing, shopping centers, offices and other urban infrastructure. Thus, productive agricultural land is reduced, biodiversity is lost, and environmental damage occurs. With economic growth and development of urban infrastructure, public services, and access to education, urbanization increases employment opportunities for local residents. However, urbanization also brings social and lifestyle changes, which can influence cultural values, daily habits, and social interaction patterns. With demand for housing increasing and a shortage of affordable housing. Apart from that, changes that occur in urban infrastructure and the impact they have on infrastructure access and traffic must also be considered. The method in this research uses qualitative interview techniques. By gaining a better understanding of these impacts, it is hoped that sustainable solutions can be developed to exploit the positive potential of urbanization and overcome the problems faced by the people of Serang City.

The Role of Social Media in Developing the National Identity for Social Diversity Among University Students

The study's overarching goals were to determine how college students' social interaction patterns shape their sense of national and cultural identity, how these patterns relate to one another, how these patterns vary across demographic variables (such as gender, age, location, and parental education level), and whether or not these patterns can be used to predict students' future national and cultural identities. Six hundred fourteen male and female students from three different schools made up the research sample. The results showed that there was a lot of social interaction (3.41), a strong sense of national and cultural identity (4.14) across all categories, and a high degree of tool use (4.24). In addition to explaining the dimensions of social interaction (competition, cooperation, and conflict; 20.8% of the variance ratio), the areas of social interaction had a statistically significant impact on developing cultural and national identity dimensions. When looking at the many aspects of national and cultural identity, cooperation stands out as the most important and predictive. Both aspects (competition and cooperation) were positively and statistically significantly correlated with each of the other dimensions of cultural identity, national identity, and the overall tool of cultural and national identity (conflict). Social interaction patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, did not vary by age, gender, or location. Graduate school is associated with statistically significant variations in social contact patterns, as well as national and cultural identification, as compared to parents with lower levels of education.

A Coordinated Data Analysis of Four Studies Exploring Age Differences in Social Interactions and Loneliness During a Global Pandemic.

Examining loneliness and social isolation during population-wide historical events may shed light on important theoretical questions about age differences, including whether these differences hold across different regions and the time course of the unfolding event. We used a systematic, preregistered approach of coordinated data analysis (CDA) of 4 studies (total N = 1,307; total observations = 18,492) that varied in design (intensive repeated-measures and cross-sectional), region, timing, and timescale during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. We harmonized our data sets to a common period within 2020-2021 and created a common set of variables. We used a combination of ordinary least squares regression and multilevel modeling to address the extent to which there was within- and between-person variation in the associations between social isolation and loneliness, and whether these associations varied as a function of age. Within- and between-person effects of social interactions were negatively associated with loneliness in 1 study; in follow-up sensitivity analyses, these patterns held across early and later pandemic periods. Across all data sets, there was no evidence of age differences in the within-person or between-person associations of social interactions and loneliness. Applying the CDA methodological framework allowed us to detect common and divergent patterns of social interactions and loneliness across samples, ages, regions, periods, and study designs.

Trolling and insulting others on social media in Spain: the role of social media news use, culture of impunity, and social media envy

ABSTRACT Prior research has delved into the diverse effects that social media news consumption has over broader social media interaction patterns. From social ties curation, to ties filtering, blocking, and other behaviors, social media news consumption has been empirically deemed to influence the way citizens socialize in these virtual spaces. Drawing on a diverse and nationally representative two wave-panel data from Spain, this study builds on this strand of the literature by investigating the role of social media news, social media culture of impunity and social media envy or feelings of jealousy, and resentment toward others, over trolling and insulting people in social media. Results show that social media news has a direct association with malicious trolling but does not fuel abusive verbal interactions. The latter is mainly explained by individuals who embrace a culture of impunity – the expectation that in social media one may commit a crime or violation and not be held accountable–, and social media envy. Furthermore, there is a positive divergent interaction between social media envy and culture of impunity on insulting other citizens. That is, people who report higher levels of social media envy and culture of impunity tend to engage in insulting others the most in social media.

Validar un cuestionario para evaluar el Conocimiento y la Estigmatización del TEA en la población peruana: una necesidad real

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior. Over the past few decades, there has been an increase in awareness and early detection of ASD, significantly improving opportunities for intervention and support. However, individuals with ASD often face stigmatization and discrimination due to a lack of understanding about their condition, which can negatively affect their emotional and social well-being. Therefore, it is crucial to promote greater education and awareness about ASD to reduce stigma and foster a more inclusive society. (1)

Analyzing the Dynamics of Social, Economic, and Cultural Changes and the Role of Institutions in Oil Palm Agribusiness Development

This research aims to reveal the dynamics of social, economic, and cultural changes in agribusiness institutions in oil palm development locations. Then reveal the role of each agribusiness institution in oil palm development locations. Using a qualitative approach to build a post-positivism approach. The research location is limited to the community (farmers) in Anggabaeri District and Besulutu District, Konawe Regency. These two research areas were chosen purposively. The database used in determining farmer groups is groups that are active and registered in the Extension Information System or SIMLUH data so 22 informants were obtained consisting of farmer group institutions, cooperative institutions, and government agencies, as well as from the Agricultural Extension Center. Specifically for farmers, the informants selected consisted of independent and plasma farmers. Data was obtained by distributing questionnaires and interviews and then analyzed descriptively. The results of the analysis show that from a social, economic, and cultural perspective, the presence of oil palm plantations brings significant changes. These changes include shifts in social stratification, interaction patterns, and improvements in health status. Apart from that, the regional economic structure is also undergoing a transformation which has an impact on increasing the income of various communities such as workers and farmers. Then there is the role of institutions, especially farmer groups, and cooperatives, in supporting and facilitating farmers' interests as a learning vehicle, production unit, and collaboration forum. Extension institutions play an important role in increasing farmers' capacity, and cooperatives contribute significantly to the provision of production facilities, transportation, and marketing of crops. An important finding is the important role of cooperatives in managing various risks associated with oil palm farming. These risks include business, financial, social, and legal engineering aspects. Cooperatives play an important role in mitigating these risks and ensuring the overall well-being and success of their members.

Social disabling: A qualitative study of interpersonal interaction patterns of shiduers in China

The experience of shidu (i.e., losing one’s only child) completely changes the lives and social interaction patterns of people. However, current research findings on interpersonal interactions of individuals who are experiencing shidu (referred to as “shiduers”) are inconsistent, reducing the effectiveness of support programs. Therefore, a qualitative analysis was conducted on the interpersonal interaction process of shiduers using the classic grounded theory. The results showed that “shidu” as an interpersonal information has two contradictory attributes, “family shame” and “family routine,” which create a social disabling dilemma for shiduers. Shiduers can reset their interpersonal relationships by establishing a clear inner and outer circle of relationships (centralizing) and by sequencing and typing relationships (differentiating). The interpersonal interactions of shiduers are complex and depend on the type of relationship. The current results can help community workers target individual support, family empowerment, and community building for people experiencing shidu.

Dynamic analysis of major public health emergency transmission considering the dual-layer coupling of community–resident complex networks

Abstract We construct a dual-layer coupled complex network of communities and residents to represent the interconnected risk transmission network between communities and the disease transmission network among residents. It characterizes the process of infectious disease transmission among residents between communities through the SE2IHR model considering two types of infectors. By depicting a more fine-grained social structure and combining further simulation experiments, the study validates the crucial role of various prevention and control measures implemented by communities as primary executors in controlling the epidemic. Research shows that the geographical boundaries of communities and the social interaction patterns of residents have a significant impact on the spread of the epidemic, where early detection, isolation and treatment strategies at community level are essential for controlling the spread of the epidemic. In addition, the study explores the collaborative governance model and institutional advantages of communities and residents in epidemic prevention and control.

Systematic Review: Autism Spectrum Disorder and the Gut Microbiota.

Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a varying group of disorders characterized by deficiency in social interaction and restrictive patterns of behavior and interests. While there are several studies focusing on the neuro-psychiatric pathogenesis of ASD, its etiology remains unclear. The role of gut-brain-axis in ASD has been studied increasingly and a correlation between symptoms and the composition of gut microbiota has been documented in various works. Despite this, the significance of individual microbes and their function is still widely unknown. This work aims to elucidate the current knowledge of the interrelations between ASD and the gut microbiota in children based on scientific evidence. This is a systematic review done by a literature search focusing on the main findings concerning the gut microbiota composition, interventions targeting the gut microbiota, and possible mechanisms explaining the results in children aged between 2 and 18 years of age. Most studies in this review found significant differences between microbial communities, while there was notable variation in results regarding diversity indices or taxonomic level abundance. The most consistent results regarding taxa differences in ASD children's gut microbiota were higher levels of Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria and Sutterella compared to controls. These results show that the gut microbiota of children with ASD is altered compared to one of neurotypically developed children. More research is needed to discover whether some of these features could be used as potential biomarkers for ASD and how the gut microbiota could be targeted in therapeutical interventions.Appeared originally in Acta Psychiatr Scand 2023;148:242-254.

Intensive Longitudinal Social Sensing in Patients With Psychosis Spectrum Disorders: An Exploratory Pilot Study.

Psychosis spectrum disorders are characterized by significant alterations in social functioning, which is a major factor for patient recovery. Despite its importance, objectively quantifying the complex day-to-day social behavior in real-life settings has rarely been attempted. Here, we conducted a pilot study with wearable sensors that passively and continuously register interactions with other participants. We hypothesized that the amount and pattern of social interaction was associated with the severity of psychotic symptoms. We recruited 7 patients with psychosis spectrum disorders and 18 team members from a Soteria-style ward. Each participant wore a radio frequency identification badge, sending and receiving signals from nearby badges, allowing passive quantification of social interactions. In addition, symptom severity was assessed weekly by the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). During an 11-week period, we identified 17970 interactions among patients and staff. On average, patients spent 2.6h per day interacting, capturing relevant aspects of daily social life. Relative daily interaction time, average interaction duration, and clustering coefficient, a measure of local network integration, were significantly associated with lower PANSS scores. Self-reported interaction time did not correlate with measured interaction time or with PANSS, indicating the importance of objective markers. This pilot study demonstrates the feasibility of passively recording social interaction of patients and staff at high resolution and for a long observation period in a real-life setting in a psychiatric department. We show links between quantified social interaction and psychopathology that may facilitate development and personalization of targeted treatments.

The Actuality of Impulses, Perceptions, Manipulations and Solutions in Social Interactions among Diverse Religious Groups

This research aims to understand residents' efforts to live their daily lives and establish social relationships with individuals of different religious beliefs, as well as to explore the formation of individual concepts and thoughts in interacting with their environment. In this context, differences in religion or belief can create social interactions that are associative or dissociative in nature. The authors will answer related questions, patterns of social interaction, impulses, perceptions, manipulation of individuals in social interactions, and the resolution of final actions regarding religious differences in the Sirnagalih sub-district, Indihiang, Tasikmalaya City. This research uses qualitative research with field methods and uses a sociology of religion approach. The results of the research show that social interaction between religious communities in the Sirnagalih sub-district, Indihiang sub-district, Tasikmalaya City occurs in an associative (unification) pattern where mutually beneficial interactions occur between individuals and each other between Muslims, Protestants and Catholics. The social processes that occur in the daily lives of Muslims, Protestants and Catholics, prioritize aspects of togetherness and harmony based on common or shared interests. The emergence of a slight dispute in the process of social interaction among citizens can be resolved immediately by involving a third party, namely the local government, by prioritizing forms of interaction in accommodation, namely mediation, compromise and tolerance.
