“The Ocean is Our Legacy:” Values of Care and Reciprocity

ABSTRACT This essay examines contemporary nuclear and military impacts on the Pacific Ocean and environmental destruction perpetuated by Japan and the United States. It weaves together complex and overlapping histories of militarism that continue ecological violence in the Pacific, and it articulates connections among these legacies in local and global contexts. I argue that communication scholars must stop acquiescing to military security perspectives. Instead, scholars should directly condemn militaries as the world’s biggest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions and critique nuclear weapon states that exacerbate environmental devastation. Considering the 2023 cases of Fukushima–Daiichi radioactive wastewater dumping and Super Typhoon Mawar, I examine Indigenous cultural practices of care as responses from island communities in Micronesia and their diasporas.

Influence of Design Parameters of Liquid Crystal Cell on the Optical Threshold Voltage Value of Electro-Optical Effect

The influence of liquid-crystal (LC) cell design parameters on the voltage of the optical threshold of the interference effect of polarized beams controlled by an electric field has been studied by computer simulation. It is shown that under strict boundary conditions (both symmetrical and antisymmetrical), the voltage value of the optical threshold decreases rapidly depending on the cell thickness in an exponential manner and reaches a certain constant value. Under non-strict boundary conditions (both symmetrical and antisymmetrical), the voltage dependence of the optical threshold on the LC layer thickness follows a hyperbolic pattern. At the same time, under strict symmetric boundary conditions, the voltage magnitude of the optical threshold effect decreases exponentially with an increase in the pretilt angle of LC molecules on the orienting surfaces. If the boundary conditions are rigid and antisymmetric, an increase in the pretilt angle on the orienting surfaces results in a linear decrease of the optical threshold voltage of the effect. The voltage magnitude of the optical threshold effect increases linearly with an increase in the twist angle of the LC structure in the cell, for both symmetric and antisymmetric boundary conditions. A decrease in the anchoring energy of LC molecules on a substrate leads to a decrease in the voltage of the optical threshold of the effect, and this regularity has an exponential character depending on the reciprocal value of the anchoring energy of LC molecules on orienting substrates.

Decision-Making Around COVID-19 Public Health Measures and Implications for Self-Care Activities: Experiences of Persons With Rheumatoid Arthritis.

We aimed to advance understanding of how persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) experience decision-making about adopting public health measures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Persons living with RA partnered throughout this nested qualitative study. One-to-one semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with participants with RA between December 2020 and December 2021. They were strategically sampled from a randomized controlled trial that was underway to test a physical activity counseling intervention. Analysis was guided by reflexive thematic analysis. Thirty-nine participants (aged 26-86 years; 36 women) in British Columbia, Canada were interviewed. We developed three themes. Participants described how their decision-making about public health measures related to 1) "upholding moral values of togetherness" because decisions were intertwined with moral values of neighborliness and reciprocity. Some adapted their self-care routines to uphold these moral values; 2) "relational autonomy-supports and challenges," because they sometimes felt supported and undermined in different relational settings (eg, by family, local community, or provincial government); and 3) "differing trust in information sources," in which decisions were shaped by the degree of faith they had in various information sources, including their rheumatologists. Across themes, experiences of decision-making about public health measures during the pandemic were embedded with moral concepts of solidarity, autonomy, and trust, with implications for how persons with RA chose and sustained their self-care activities. Insights gained help sensitize researchers and clinicians to moral issues experienced by persons with RA, which may inform support for self-care activities during and after the pandemic.

A novel trajectory similarity measurement method based on node‐sequence hierarchical digraph

AbstractTrajectory similarity measurement is a basic and vital task in trajectory data mining, which has attracted extensive research in the past decades. Recent works focused on the sequence and hierarchy property of trajectories to construct similarity measurements. However, these methods ignore the user information on the visiting locations, such as semantic and time distribution. In light of this, a novel trajectory similarity measurement based on Node‐Sequence Hierarchical Digraph (NSHD) framework is proposed in this article. We first propose a Time‐Weighted Stay Point Detection (TWSPD) method to extract real visiting locations of users more accurately. Then, the nodes of digraph are obtained by clustering users' stay points and the edges of digraph are sequence information that users move between these nodes. An Advanced Earth Mover's Distance (AEMD) is proposed to measure the node similarity between users, considering visiting time distribution and semantic information simultaneously. Both node and sequence similarities are used to calculate the similarity score to obtain the final trajectory similarity measurement. Experiments on Geolife and T‐Drive datasets show that our proposed method offers competitive performance with mean reciprocal rank values reaching 96.01 and 81.26%, which outperforms related trajectory similarity measurements by more than 10 and 15%.

Shock Tube Study of Ignition Delay Times for Hydrogen–Oxygen Mixtures

This paper presents the results of measurements of ignition delay times in hydrogen–oxygen mixtures highly diluted with argon. The experiments were carried out behind an incident shock wave at temperatures from 870 to 2500 K, pressures from 0.5 to 1.5 atm, and equivalence ratios from 0.1 to 2.0. The results obtained were processed in terms of the partial pressure of the combustible mixture stoichiometric part that is consumed in the combustion process. An almost linear dependence of the ignition delay time on the reciprocal value of the partial pressure was found for both rich and lean mixtures. The measured data are compared with calculations based on the previously developed kinetic model and experimental data from other authors.

A protective buffer or a double-edged sword? Investigating the effect of “parasocial guanxi” on consumers’ complaint intention in live streaming commerce

The buyer-seller relationship in live streaming commerce is crucial especially in service failure situations, yet it has been underexplored. In this paper, we reconceptualized the relationship between consumers and sellers in live streaming commerce as “parasocial guanxi”, which consists of ganqing (emotional attachment), xinren (trust) and reciprocal value. The effects of parasocial guanxi on consumer dissatisfaction and complaint intention in service failure situations were further investigated based on the expectation confirmation theory. Our study involved 425 valid questionnaires and employed the partial least squares structural equation method (PLS-SEM). The findings are mixed: on one side, parasocial guanxi acts as a buffer, mitigating dissatisfaction and complaint intention in the face of product or service problems and reducing the impact of disconfirmation on consumer dissatisfaction. On the other side, it may also increase the likelihood of dissatisfied consumers complaining. Furthermore, the buffering effect weakens as consumers make more frequent purchases. The findings have important theoretical and practical implications for understanding the buyer-seller relationship in live streaming commerce.

Food Security and Food Sovereignty: The Difference Between Surviving and Thriving.

Previous research in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities has documented high prevalence of food insecurity. Yet many AI/AN scholars and communities have expressed concerns that the dominant societal conceptions of food security are not reflective of the teachings, priorities, and values of AI/AN communities. Food security initiatives often focus on access to food and, at times, nutrition but little consideration is given to cultural foods, the spirituality carried through foods, and whether the food was stewarded in a way that promotes well-being not just for humans but also for plants, animals, land, and water. Despite the concerns of AI/AN communities that their needs are not centered in dominant societal food conceptualizations and food security programming, the food sovereignty efforts of AI/AN communities have captured national attention as a solution to modern food system inequities. Indigenous Food Sovereignty (IFS) is a holistic approach to food that incorporates values of relationality, reciprocity, and relationships. Fundamental differences exist between food security and food sovereignty, yet dominant society often reduces IFS as a solution to food security, rather than an entirely different food system that is predicated on values that contrast with that of dominant society. Despite calls to decolonize the definition and measurement of food security, we explore whether fixing the concept of food security is a worthy endeavor or whether efforts would be better spent supporting the resurgence and revitalization of AI/AN food values, food knowledge, and community food sovereignty initiatives.

How Do Stakeholders Perceive Transit Service Quality Attributes? – A study through Fuzzy-AHP

This study examines stakeholders’ perspective about nine major attribute sets which comprehensively define transit service quality. A novel linguistic AHP scale was used to form a judgement matrix based on experts’ opinion which simplifies the understanding between two criteria and thus respondents’ (stakeholders) fatigue and complexities reduces while filling the survey. The Saaty’s bi-directional scale is made unidirectional by applying the linguistic scale as extremely lower (reciprocal values) to equal and then to extremely higher. Stakeholders were from different fields of expertise like academia, research, policy makers, service operators or providers, and industry professionals. A judgement matrix was arrived at through Fuzzy-AHP analysis while using disaggregated and aggregated opinions of the stakeholders. The stakeholders’ opinion was analyzed as: individual stakeholders’ groups; academicians vs non-academicians; and combined opinion. One-way ANOVA test was performed to examine the similarity in decision making across the stakeholders. Though no statistical significance was found across stakeholder level, however, the perceptions vary or sync across the groups based on attributes’ inherent value or characteristics. The matrix allowed the categorization of the attributes based on their importance as highly, moderately, and least important. Higher importance has gone to infrastructure (system infrastructure, and ease and convenience) and operational attributes (Customer service, comfort, and service frequency) whereas, lower importance has gone to functional attributes (safety, security, and travel time reliability). The analysis allows us to arrive at probable weights which shall be given to the different attributes while planning for the improvements in the transit services in a geographical region.

ANALISIS RESIPROSITAS PETANI DALAM KEGIATAN USAHA TANI JAGUNG (STUDI KASUS KOMUNITAS PETANI JAGUNG DI DESA MANTOBUA KECAMATAN LOHIA KABUPATEN MUNA)

The objective of this study is to investigate the form and application of reciprocity among corn farmers in Mantobua Village, Lohia Sub-district, Muna Regency. The informants were selected using the snowball sampling technique, and they were maize farmers who practiced reciprocity in maize cultivation in Mantobua Village. The data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation using interview guides as instruments. The study employed the qualitative descriptive analysis method, which involves data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that farmers engage in comparable forms of reciprocity during corn farming activities, such as land clearing, planting, and harvesting. The social reciprocity relationships among corn farmers are increasing, as all farmers continue to engage in reciprocity activities. Reciprocity has been a long-standing practice that continues to this day. Younger farmers still uphold and apply the values of reciprocity to establish social relations between communities.

Producers’ transition to alternative food practices in rural China: social mobilization and cultural reconstruction in the formation of alternative economies

The shift from the conventional agri-food system to alternative practices is a challenging transition for agricultural producers, yet surprisingly under-studied. Little research has examined the social and cultural processes in rural communities that mobilize producers and construct and sustain producer-driven alternative food networks (AFNs). For AFNs to go beyond just offering “alternative foods” or “alternative networks” and to be constructed as “alternative economies”, this transformation in the producer community is indispensable. This paper presents a case study of a rural cooperative in Shanxi, China. The discontent with both productivist agriculture and the social decay in communities motivated a group of women to engage in a decade-long process of social mobilization, cultural reconstruction, and learning by experimentation. Through this, they developed an alternative vision and successfully created a localized alternative socio-economic model, which I call “anti-productivism”. It prioritizes ecological sustainability, self-reliance, reciprocity, and cultural values over output maximization, productivity growth, commodity exchange, and monetary gains. This case contrasts sharply with the urban-initiated, consumer-driven AFNs studied in the China literature, which mostly just offered alternative foods but brought little change to the producer community. It shows that the alternative economy must be embedded in an alternative community united by strong social bonds and shared cultural values.

Perseverance, partnerships and passion: ingredients for successful local government policy to promote healthy and sustainable diets

BackgroundLocal government authorities are well-placed to invest in evidence-based food policies that promote a population-wide shift to healthy and sustainable diets. This study describes the contextual factors that facilitated or impeded policy-making related to healthy and sustainable diets within a ‘best-performing’ local government in Victoria, Australia.MethodsGuided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), data from semi-structured interviews with individuals involved in developing the City of Greater Bendigo’s Food System Strategy were analysed using the seven-stage Framework Method.ResultsSemi-structured interviews (n = 24) were conducted with City of Greater Bendigo employees (n = 15) and key stakeholders working for local organisations (n = 6) or at a state or national level (n = 3). Interviewees mostly held positions of leadership (n = 20) and represented diverse areas of focus from health (n = 7), food systems (n = 4) and planning and public policy (n = 3). Data analysis revealed 12 cross-cutting themes; eight facilitating factors and four impeding factors. Facilitating factors included perseverance, community engagement, supportive state policy, effective leadership, a global platform and networks, partnerships, workforce capacity and passion, and the use of scientific evidence. Impeding factors included access to secure, ongoing financial resources, prohibitive state and federal policy, COVID-related disruptions to community engagement and competing stakeholder interests. Overall, this study suggests that the City of Greater Bendigo’s success in developing an evidence-based local food system policy is built upon (i) a holistic worldview that embraces systems-thinking and credible frameworks, (ii) a sustained commitment and investment throughout the inner-setting over time, and (iii) the ability to establish and nurture meaningful partnerships with community groups, neighbouring local government areas and state-level stakeholders, built upon values of reciprocity and respect.ConclusionsDespite insufficient resourcing and prohibitive policy at higher levels of government, this ‘best performing’ local government in Victoria, Australia developed an evidence-based food system policy by employing highly skilled and passionate employees, embracing a holistic worldview towards planetary health and harnessing global networks. Local government authorities aspiring to develop integrated food policy should nurture a workforce culture of taking bold evidence-informed policy action, invest in mechanisms to enable long-standing partnerships with community stakeholders and be prepared to endure a ‘slow-burn’ approach.

Stitching Together My Anishinaabe Research Paradigm: An Approach to Storytelling With Algonquin Ikwewag (Women) and Gender-Diverse People in Mattawa and North Bay, Ontario

This article reviews an Anishinaabe research paradigm that structures a storytelling project with Algonquin Anishinaabekwewag and gender-diverse people from the Mattawa and North Bay area in Ontario, Canada. This Anishinaabe research paradigm contains an ontology, epistemology, methodology, and axiology that are informed by Anishinaabe worldviews and values, participants’ stories, as well as the knowledges and experiences the first author brings to the project as a mixed-ancestry Algonquin Anishinaabekwe. With a ribbon skirt framework of data analysis, analytical approaches from multiple knowledge systems are stitched together to form complex and cohesive stories. The methodology is guided by principles of ownership, control, access, and possession, the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct of Research Involving Humans (Chapter 9), as well as Anishinaabe relational accountability which honours relationships with all of Creation. Axiology is further informed by Mino-Bimaadiziwin and Anishinaabe Original Instructions, and is expressed through Anishinaabe jiimaan (canoe) teachings and values of respect, relevance, reciprocity, responsibility, and reverence. Making space for Anishinaabe research paradigms that prioritize Anishinaabe ways of knowing and living is a powerful way to decolonize the research process and affirm the continuity of Anishinaabe lifeways.

“The New Men”: The Rahima’s Experiences in the Gender Sensitivity Construction among Marriage Registrar in Lampung Indonesia

Efforts to prevent gender-based violence will progress slowly without involving men. Socialization and education tend to be targeted towards women’s groups, with few including men as subjects in the anti-violence education process. This article discusses several important lessons learned from the mentoring process of Marriage Registrar Officials at the Office of Religious Affairs in East Lampung, Indonesia, by the Rahima Association. The study is the result of observations on the mentoring process of Marriage Registrar Officials who have internalized the values of justice and reciprocity in family relations. The research data are supported by interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. This article argues that the involvement of male religious figures in preventing family violence is essential for two reasons. First, in textual societies, male ulama have a strategic role in reproducing more egalitarian and just knowledge. Second, the process of building gender-just awareness requires authoritative actors in the process of building knowledge from shared experience to be more legitimate. The article also explains the theoretical foundations of the successful mentoring approach that has transformed the outlook of male Marriage Registrar Officials who have the drive to effect change in Muslim society regarding equal and just family relations through their duties and functions.

Combining ability and gene action studies for yield and fibre traits in Gossypium arboreum using Griffings numerical and Haymans graphical approach

BackgroundFor the purpose of utilising hybrid vigour to produce possible hybrids with a suitable level of stability, the knowledge of gene activity and combining ability is a crucial prerequisite before choosing desirable parents. The present study was carried out with six parents crossed in full diallel fashion and generated 30 F1 hybrids. These hybrids were evaluated in two replications in Randomized Block Design at Department of Cotton, TNAU for combining ability and gene action. Diallel analysis was carried out according to Griffing’s method-I (parents + F1 + reciprocals) and model-I and Hayman’s graphical approach by using INDOSTAT software.ResultsAnalysis of variance for combining ability indicated that mean square values of GCA, SCA and reciprocals were highly significant for all the traits except for the uniformity index. RG763 and K12 showed highly positively significant GCA effects for most of the yield traits while PA838 and K12 for fibre quality traits, so they were found as best general combiners. PAIG379 × K12 and PDB29 × K12 for yield traits, and PDB29 × PA838, RG763 × PA838, and CNA1007 × RG763 cross combinations for fibre quality traits could be recommended for future breeding programms.ConclusionThe results of both Griffing’s and Hayman’s approaches showed that non-additive gene action predominates as SCA variance was bigger than GCA variance, so heterosis breeding is thought to be a more fruitful option for enhancing GCA of many traits.

What makes people adapt together? An empirically grounded conceptual model on the enablers and barriers of collective climate change adaptation

Coping with and adapting to climate change impacts are collective action problems that require broad joint efforts to reduce current and future risks. This is most obvious for highly vulnerable and exposed individuals, whose capacities to adapt to recurrent environmental threats are mostly bound in their ability to work together – not only in the immediate disaster situation but also in the long-term to secure their livelihoods. While there are explanatory models for collective action in the context of climate change, there is still a need to validate them further for vulnerable residents in high-risk contexts that prioritize cultural values of collective self-understanding, mutual support, and reciprocity. Additionally, the identified factors that facilitate collective climate action are currently quite abstract and may not be very useful for practical application and policy development. Addressing these gaps, we build on existing collective action models and a qualitative analysis of empirical data from kampung cooperatives in Jakarta to develop a conceptual framework explaining what triggers individuals to start acting collectively and which factors motivate them to keep being engaged in long-term collective adaptation action. It highlights the need to differentiate between what we will call initial triggers and long-term motivators to better understand and advance collective adaptation efforts in high-risk contexts. This novel differentiation of motivation factors enhances our conceptual understanding of collective adaptation. Furthermore, the findings may inform practice and policy-making toward enhancing and maintaining collective adaptation initiatives.

ИСПОЛЬЗОВАНИЕ ОРТОГОНАЛЬНЫХ СИЛЬНЫХ ЭЛЕКТРИЧЕСКИХ И МАГНИТНЫХ ПОЛЕЙ ДЛЯ СОЗДАНИЯ ЧАСТОТНО-ПРЕОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫХ УСТРОЙСТВ АВТОДИННОГО ТИПА

In the framework of the drift-diffusion model of carrier transport in the bulk of III–V typesemiconductors, under external action of strong constant electric and magnetic fields orthogonallyoriented relative to each other, a new principle for applying the discovered effects is proposed, whichtake into account the nonlinearities of the output parameters of the working chip, which leads to thepossibility creation of new semiconductor structures controlled by a magnetic field (SSCMF). Previously,the diffusion component of the output current density was not taken into account as a separateeffect arising under the orthogonal action of strong electric and magnetic components, which was atfirst time considered in this paper. It is shown that this component is a part of the inductive transverseoutput current and can be considered as an independent effect. The proposed practical applicationis based on the classical relations that describe the component spatial representation of the effectivemass energy dependence and the parameters of the kinetic equations for the carriers drift andheating in the bulk of highly mobile III–V type semiconductors structures. (The energy dependence ofthe reciprocal effective mass value was obtained under the assumption that this parameter becomesheavier in the framework of the two-valley representation. However, the mechanism of such increasingis not considered in detail, but is taken into account as a result of expansion in a Taylor series.)At the same time, some new phenomena were also hypothetically discovered: a diffusion detectoreffect and a transverse induction effect controlled by a magnetic field, similar in its manifestation tothe Gunn effect observed in this direction. The results obtained open the prospect for creating fundamentallynew frequency-converting devices based on the above SSCMF, such as autodyne-type converters(mixers), one of the designs of which is also proposed in this work in a waveguide version. Inthe case of experimental confirmation of the discovered effects, which can be investigated using theblock diagram of the measuring setup proposed in the work, we can conclude that there are promisingnew applications of magnetically controlled semiconductor structures. In addition, equipmentdevelopers will be interested in the possibility of using the magnetic field orientation angle to controlthe output parameters of such structures as part of converters

The Founder: Dispositional Greed, Showbiz, and the Commercial Determinants of Health

Marketing unhealthy products by multinational corporations has caused considerable harm to individual health, collective wellbeing, and environmental sustainability. This is a growing threat to all societies and a significant contributor to the rising global burden of non-communicable diseases and early mortality. While there is growing consideration of the commercial determinants of health, this is largely focused on the methods by which unhealthy products are marketed and disseminated, including efforts to manipulate policy. Little attention has been paid to the underlying psychological traits and worldviews that are driving corporate greed. Here, we consider the role of "dispositional greed" in the commercial determinants of health with a focus on the historical attitudes and culture in the ultra-processed food industry-exemplified by "The Founder" of the McDonald's franchise. We argue that greed and associated psychological constructs, such as social dominance orientation and collective narcissism, permeate the commercial determinants of health at a collective level. This includes how a culture of greed within organizations, and individual dispositional greed, can magnify and cluster at scale, perpetuated by social dominance orientation. We also consider the ways in which "showbiz" marketing specifically targets marginalized populations and vulnerable groups, including children-in ways that are justified, or even celebrated despite clear links to non-communicable diseases and increased mortality. Finally, we consider how greed and exploitative mindsets mirror cultural values and priorities, with trends for increasing collective narcissism at scale, recognizing that many of these attitudes are cultivated in early life. A healthier future will depend on navigating a path that balances material prosperity with physical and spiritual wellbeing. This will require cultural change that places higher value on kindness, reciprocity, and mutualistic values especially in early life, for more equitable flourishing.

Applicability of working abroad for physicians with a specialization in Global Health and Tropical Medicine

BackgroundIn The Netherlands, physicians specialized in global health and tropical medicine (Ps-GHTM) are trained to work in low-resource settings (LRS) after their training program of 27 months. After working for a period of time in LRS, many Ps-GHTM continue their careers in the Dutch healthcare system. While there is limited evidence regarding the value of international health experience for medical students and residents, it is unknown to what extent this applies to Ps-GHTM and to their clinical practice in the Netherlands.MethodsIn this qualitative study we conducted semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) with Ps-GHTM to explore the perceived applicability of their experience abroad for their subsequent return to the Netherlands. Topic guides were developed using literature about the applicability of working abroad. Findings from the interviews served as a starting point for FGDs. The interviews and FGDs were analysed using directed content analysis.Results15 themes are described relating experience abroad to healthcare delivery in The Netherlands: broad medical perspective, holistic perspective, adaptive communication skills, creativity, flexibility, cultural awareness, self-reliance, clinical competence, cost awareness, public health, leadership, open-mindedness, organization of care, self-development, and teamwork. Highlighting the variety in competencies and the complexity of the topic, not all themes were recognized by all respondents in the FGDs nor deemed equally relevant. Flexibility, cultural awareness and holistic perspective are examples of important benefits to work experience in LRS.ConclusionPs-GHTM bring their competencies to LRS and return to the Netherlands with additionally developed skills and knowledge. These may contribute to healthcare delivery in the Netherlands. This reciprocal value is an important factor for the sustainable development of global health. Identifying the competencies derived from work experience in LRS could give stakeholders insight into the added value of Ps-GHTM and partly help in refining the specialization program.

Comparing the Effectiveness of Hashtags in Digital Social Movements: A Case Study of #PercumaLaporPolisi and #PolriSesuaiProsedur in Indonesia

Hashtags are used in digital social movements to mobilize netizens and create social change. This study aims to fill in gaps from previous studies by comparing the hashtags #PercumaLaporPolisi and #PolriSesuaiProsedur, which emerged on Twitter as social movements in response to the rape of three children under ten in East Luwu, South Sulawesi. The study incorporates framing analysis and focuses on the frame alignment process to see the efforts of the hashtags #PercumaLaporPolisi and #PolriSesuaiProsedur on mobilizing social media users. This study uses Social Network Analysis (SNA) to analyze the network structure formed from #PercumaLaporPolisi vs. #PolriSesuaiProsedur hashtags and determine the values of reciprocity, centralization, diameter, density, and modularity. The researcher also uses framing alignment analysis to analyze the tweets collected using Python from October 6-17, 2021, and Netlytic software as a tool. This text compares the effectiveness of two Twitter hashtags, #PercumaLaporPolisi, and #PolriSesuaiProsedur, in mobilizing supporters during a campaign about police policies in Indonesia. Network analysis found that #PolriSesuaiProsedur had a more extensive network, higher density, and more robust framing than #PercumaLaporPolisi, which resulted in a more effective mobilization of supporters. The text emphasizes the importance of precise messaging and framing in hashtag activism. This study compared the success of two hashtags, #PercumaLaporPolisi, and #PolriSesuaiProsedur, and found that #PolriSesuaiProsedur was more successful due to its clear framing. This research highlights the significance of precise framing in hashtags for mobilizing supporters in digital social movements. Future studies could investigate the impact of various hashtags on mobilization.

A Machine Learning Approach for Automated Filling of Categorical Fields in Data Entry Forms

Users frequently interact with software systems through data entry forms. However, form filling is time-consuming and error-prone. Although several techniques have been proposed to auto-complete or pre-fill fields in the forms, they provide limited support to help users fill categorical fields, i.e., fields that require users to choose the right value among a large set of options.In this article, we propose LAFF, a learning-based automated approach for filling categorical fields in data entry forms. LAFF first builds Bayesian Network models by learning field dependencies from a set of historical input instances, representing the values of the fields that have been filled in the past. To improve its learning ability, LAFF uses local modeling to effectively mine the local dependencies of fields in a cluster of input instances. During the form filling phase, LAFF uses such models to predict possible values of a target field, based on the values in the already-filled fields of the form and their dependencies; the predicted values (endorsed based on field dependencies and prediction confidence) are then provided to the end-user as a list of suggestions.We evaluated LAFF by assessing its effectiveness and efficiency in form filling on two datasets, one of them proprietary from the banking domain. Experimental results show that LAFF is able to provide accurate suggestions with a Mean Reciprocal Rank value above 0.73. Furthermore, LAFF is efficient, requiring at most 317 ms per suggestion.
