Youtube videos as an educational resource for ventrogluteal injection: A content, reliability and quality analysis

BackgroundYouTube has become an important social media platform for teaching nursing skills. However, the content, reliability and quality levels of the videos on this platform are not adequately known. ObjectivesThis study aims to evaluate the content, reliability and quality of YouTube videos on ventrogluteal injection application. DesignDescriptive. SettingsOnline. Participants26 videos about ventrogluteal injection. MethodsVideos were searched using the keyword “ventrogluteal injection”. The content of the 26 videos meeting the inclusion criteria were evaluated using the “Ventrogluteal Intramuscular Injection Skill Form”, the reliability with the “DISCERN Questionnaire”, and the quality levels using the “Global Quality Scale”. The videos were categorized by their theme, type and upload source, and analysed statistically. ResultsOf the 26 videos meeting the inclusion criteria, 21 (80.8%) were classified as useful information, 5 (19.2%) as misleading information by theme, 22 (84.6%) as educational, 4 (15.4%) as hormone therapy by type, 5 (19.2%) as official institutions, 13 (50%) as individual by source of uploads. The content, reliability, quality score of useful videos were higher than misleading videos. There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between reliability score and the source of video uploads. Pairwise comparisons indicated that there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) between the source of uploads of video and characteristics. ConclusionsThe use of the examined YouTube videos in the training of injection into the ventrogluteal site appears to have various risks in terms of ethics and patient safety. It may be suggested that the injection videos should be prepared by competent institutions/individuals, using best practice guides to increase the content, reliability and quality levels. It should particularly be borne in mind that videos on hormone therapy can be a public health threat.

Detection of fake-video uploaders on social media using Naive Bayesian model with social cues

With the rapid development of the Internet, the wide circulation of disinformation has considerably disrupted the search and recognition of information. Despite intensive research devoted to fake text detection, studies on fake short videos that inundate the Internet are rare. Fake videos, because of their quick transmission and broad reach, can increase misunderstanding, impact decision-making, and lead to irrevocable losses. Therefore, it is important to detect fake videos that mislead users on the Internet. Since it is difficult to detect fake videos directly, we probed the detection of fake video uploaders in this study with a vision to provide a basis for the detection of fake videos. Specifically, a dataset consisting of 450 uploaders of videos on diabetes and traditional Chinese medicine was constructed, five features of the fake video uploaders were proposed, and a Naive Bayesian model was built. Through experiments, the optimal feature combination was identified, and the proposed model reached a maximum accuracy of 70.7%.

Evaluation of quality and reliability of YouTube videos on female urinary incontinence

ObjectivesWomen often feel embarrassed about urinary incontinence, hesitate to see a doctor and search the internet to gain information on the disease. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of the most viewed YouTube™ pertaining to female urinary incontinence. Material and MethodsSixty videos that met the inclusion criteria were assessed by two urologists through Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information (DISCERN), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and Video Power Index (VPI) scoring systems. Videos’ image type, video uploaders, general content, length, view counts, date of uploading, comment, like and dislike counts were also recorded and analyzed. ResultsForty videos included real and 20 animation images. Nine videos were uploaded directly by physicians, 32 videos by health channels, 14 videos by hospital channels, 2 videos by herbalists and 3 videos by other sources. The mean comment, like and dislike counts of the videos were found as 49.4 ± 172.9, 642.5 ± 2,112.9 and 66.7 ± 192.4. The mean DISCERN score was found as 38.2 ± 11.5, JAMA score as 1.4 ± 0.6 and VPI score as 85.1 ± 12.1. There was no significant difference between physicians and non-physicians and between real and animated videos in terms of DISCERN and JAMA scores (p>0.05). ConclusionsThe quality of the videos on YouTube™ pertaining to female urinary incontinence was at an average level. Healthcare professionals should be encouraged for uploading more accurate quality health related contents. Policy makers should develop policies for supervision of the videos uploaded on the internet.

Evaluating the Reliability and Quality of the Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty Videos on YouTube.

The aim of the study was to assess the quality of videos on YouTube as educational resources for patients and physicians about blepharoplastic surgery. This study is a retrospective and cross-sectional study. A YouTube search for the term "blepharoplasty" was made and the first 210 videos were recorded (all video searches were done by clearing all search history without any user login). The number of views, likes and dislikes, upload time (i.e. age) of all videos, video duration, and source (i.e. physicians, non- physicians) were recorded. The video uploader, physicians, healthcare provider, health-related channels were gathered in a group. Video sources were evaluated as physician and non-physician. The DISCERN, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), and Global Quality scores of all videos were also evaluated and recorded by two experienced oculoplastic surgeons. Considering our exclusion criteria from 210 videos we evaluated, 186 videos were included in the study. 147 (79%) of these videos were uploaded by physicians and 39 (21%) by non-physicians users. The total viewing average was 69,548 ± 14,533. The average length (min) of all videos was 7.59 ± 8.75 min. The average of total likes was 301.72 ± 578.89, dislike was 28.47 ± 68.90. The mean DISCERN score was 45.06 ± 12.88 (fair quality), the mean JAMA score was 1.39 ± 1.06 (poor quality), and the mean Global Quality score was 2.39 ± 1.03 (intermediate quality). DISCERN, JAMA, GQS scores were statistically significant between videos uploaded by physicians and non- physicians (p< 0.001). As a result of the videos reviewed, YouTube videos can be educational and informative for patients and physicians. Only if the video source and content are selected correctly. We hope that YouTube will become more useful in terms of healthcare and education once its role in e-learning is clear. This journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.

Traumatic dental injuries are a common health problem in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of the video contents on YouTube™ regarding traumatic dental injuries in children taking into account the information of IADT, and to analyze whether it is useful for patients and dentists. A search was performed on YouTube™ using the search term "trauma in pediatric dentistry" with the default filter set to "sort by relevance". Based on this search, 127 videos were included. Demographic data such as the source, type, duration, upload date, number of likes and dislikes, interaction index, and viewing rate of the videos were recorded. Using a 23-point scale for video content analysis, they were classified into groups as low, moderate, and high content. A total of 127 videos were analyzed. Most of the videos were uploaded by healthcare professionals (n=90; 70.8%). The average length of the videos was 16.4min (range: 0.6-122.9min; median: 7.8). The average number of views of each video was 3702.9 views (range: 4-87 103). The average interaction index (views/day) was 2.4 views (range: 0.00-19.5). The average viewing rate was 522.3 (range: 1.8-6381.2). The average number of "likes" was 45.0 (range: 0-619) and the average number of "dislikes" was 2.1 (range: 0-81). The mean number of days since the uploading of the video was 772.8days (range: 23-3805). Most of the videos (94.4%, n=120) were educational videos and 27 (21.2%), 40 (31.4%), and 60 (47.2%) were classified as high-content, moderate-content, and low-content groups, respectively. YouTube™ videos can be a useful resource for dental trauma in children. However, there is a need to improve the quality of YouTube™ videos uploaded by oral health professionals.

The Educational Reliability and Viewer Interest of YouTube Videos Presenting Otoplasty Procedures.

Otoplasty procedures consist of around 30% of facial plastics surgeries in the adult population. In this study, we aimed to assess the reliability of YouTube otoplasty videos based on technical video analysis, usefulness scores, and recommended surgical steps. The present study evaluated 356 videos after a search on YouTube with the keywords "otoplasty, prominent ear, cosmetic otoplasty, and aesthetic ear surgery" during the period from October 2008 to June 2020. The viewer interest parameters such as the total number of views, comments, subscribers, likes, dislikes, source of videos, and video upload date were assessed. Besides, usefulness scores and recommended surgical steps were also analyzed. Among the 356 videos that were compatible with the keywords of the study, only 122 (34%) of them were in agreement with the inclusion criteria. Group 1 (not useful and slightly useful) comprised 69 (57%) videos, and Group 2 (useful and very useful) consisted of 53 (43%) videos. The mean numbers of views, subscribers, and likes were 20544.65 ± 55235.41, 6718.37 ± 20213.54, and 44.34 ± 121.48, respectively, in Group 1, and 82905.22 ± 292819.49, 18603.57 ± 58007.94, and 1089.09 ± 6991.91, respectively, in Group 2. All 3 parameters were significantly higher in Group 2 than Group 1 (P: 0.02, P: 0.005, P: 0.01, respectively). Overall, only 43% of YouTube videos presenting otoplasty procedures were defined as useful or very useful. The interest rates of the viewers are compatible with the usefulness rate of the otoplasty videos.

Analysis on the Change of Big Data and Computer Network Communication Technology Based on Multi-platform

Since the 20th century, information and network technology, mainly represented by microelectronics, computer communication and network technology, has progressed and developed rapidly, and its dissemination and application have had a significant impact on economic development and social transformation. Among them, modern computer communication is an emerging discipline that effectively combines modern computer technology and communication technology. It has developed rapidly after experiencing the information revolution, which has greatly changed the daily work and lifestyle of people in modern society, and the changes in communication have also changed. After entering the new era, the conversion stage from analog signal to digitization to communication signal has basically ended. However, in the field of modern digital communication, there is still a lot of room for the advancement and development of electronic computer technology. Many new technologies and new technologies are emerging in an endless stream, which also provides ample room for future development of the industry. This article analyzes the transformation of computer network communication technology based on multi-platform data. First, use literature research methods to analyze the advantages of computer network communication technology in the era of big data. And summarize the problems of computer network general technology, and then use questionnaires based on big data platform to investigate the impact of computer network communication technology changes on people and the failure of computer network communication in life. The result shows that the video upload fails. The occurrence is very high. About 60% of people have experienced video upload failures. There are relatively few failures in hacking and image upload failures. This shows that the solution to the information network security problem in China is still possible, but the video high incidence of upload failures indicates that the speed of computer network communication needs to be strengthened. The direct impact of the reform of computer network technology is that people have more frequent contacts. About 50% of people have more frequent contacts with family and friends after the reform of computer network technology.

Is YouTube a reliable source for athletic taping?

BackgroundTaping has a critical role in athlete health.AimsTo evaluate the quality, characteristics and reliability of the most viewed taping videos in YouTube.MethodsUploaded videos were searched with “athletic taping” and “rigid taping” keywords in YouTube. The educational content quality of the videos was assessed using the Global Quality Scale (GQS), and reliability was evaluated using the Journal American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria. Video uploaders (source) were divided into three groups (physiotherapists (PT), athletic trainers (AT) and non-PT/AT) and compared in terms of video quality, reliability and characteristics.Results82 videos were included in the study. The mean JAMA score of the videos was 2.91 ± 0.89 and GQS score was 4.06 ± 0.87. A significant difference was found among video uploading groups base on days since upload, number of views, daily views, dislikes, like ratio, and JAMA and GQS scores (p < 0.05). Less number of days since upload was found for AT videos versus PT and non-PT/AT videos (p = 0.007, p = 0.007). The number of views and daily views were higher for PT videos than AT videos (p = 0.004, p = 0.017). The number of dislikes was also higher for PT videos compared to AT videos (p = 0.017), with no significant difference versus non-PT/AT group (p < 0.05). Non-PT/AT videos showed a greater like ratio than PT videos (p = 0.022). PT videos had higher JAMA and GQS scores compared to AT and non-PT/AT videos (p = 0.001 vs. p = 0.001, p = 0.010 vs. p = 0.001).ConclusionYouTube can be regarded as a useful platform that provides high quality and reliable videos on athletic taping.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: This study does not include any human participants or animals.

Developing Social Identity Models of Players from Game Telemetry Data

In this paper, we present an approach to modeling aspects of the identities of videogame players by data mining game telemetry information on in-game player performance and customization preferences. Our model demonstrates that such data can be used to reveal aspects of the identities players express by their social networking profile information. We tested our model on players of the multiplayer first-person shooter videogame Team Fortress 2. It was able to significantly explain the variances of the players' number of friends (35.1%), number of uploaded screenshots (49.6%), and number of uploaded videos (39.2%) of their profiles on the gaming social network Steam. Our results revealed several findings, such as criteria indicating how players customized avatars differently according to notions of aesthetics and practicality, and how these notions contributed to predicting their number of friends on their social networking profiles.Responses evaluated from a conducted survey reaffirmed several of these findings.

Can YouTube Video on Urological Problems Be Used As An Additional Resource in Telemedicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Objective: Various recommendations are being offered in order of priority in the diagnosis and treatment of urological diseases during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) period. Since it may not be possible to provide information to all patients through telemedicine, additional methods are needed to reach all patients. This study aimed to determine the reliability and quality of YouTube videos that provide information on urological disorders during the COVID-19 period. Another aim was to assess the most shared and most viewed videos on urological disorders on YouTube and their usability as an additional resource in telemedicine during the pandemic. Materials and Methods: From 17 February 2020, to 31 July 2020, the following keywords were used to search videos on YouTube: “covid urology”, “covid andrology”, “covid fertility”, “covid male infertility”, “covid prostate”, “covid bladder”, “covid kidney”, “covid renal”, “covid testis”, “covid cancer”, “covid coitus”, “covid sex”, “covid sperm” and “covid erectile”;“coronavirus” was also used instead of “covid”. In total, 232 videos were evaluated by two urologists according to video characteristics. The number of total views, views per day, likes, dislikes, comments, video length, date of video upload and duration on YouTube was recorded. Finally, a total of 136 relevant English videos were included in the study. A 5-point modified DISCERN tool was used to assess reliability, whereas a 5-point Global Quality score (GQS) was used to evaluate quality. Cohen’s kappa score was used to determine inter-rater agreement, while the intraclass correlation coefficient was used to evaluate inter-observer reliability. Results: All videos had a high DISCERN score [4, interquartile range (IQR) (3-5)] and GQS [5, IQR (4-5)] in general. Moreover, 20 (14.7%) videos containing information about “sexual life” and “effects of COVID-19 on sperm” were described as debated. Videos uploaded by “universities/ professional organisations/non-profit physician/physician groups” had higher scores (p<0.001). However, their rates of “number of views per day” (p=0.036) and “likes” (p<0.001) were lower. The majority of videos related to urology (63.9%) included conversations about andrological disorders. The median number of total views and number of views per day were also highest for videos related to andrology. Conclusion: Although andrological disorders are classified as a non-essential issue and andrological consultations are postponed during the COVID-19 period, the results show that the rate of YouTube videos related to andrology is even higher than uro-oncological diseases during this period. Therefore, it is important to share accurate and reliable information in this field. Our analysis shows that informative, easy-to-understand YouTube videos uploaded by “universities/professional organisations/non-profit physicians/physician groups” can be used as an additional method to telemedicine, especially for andrological disorders that do not require follow-up.

Representation of #CAMHS on social media platform TikTok

AimsThe video-based free social media app, TikTok, has grown in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic, with half of British children using Tik Tok regularly. With more than 2 billion downloads, it was the most downloaded app of 2020. Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) is currently found on TikTok via the hashtag #CAMHS. The aim of this study was to explore how CAMHS is represented on TikTok through reviewing the hashtags associated with CAMHS and exploring the themes of videos with the #CAMHS hashtag.MethodThe Tik Tok app was downloaded and a search for the hashtags which featured the word #CAMHS was undertaken. A thematic analysis of the top 100 most popular uploaded videos featuring the #CAMHS was conducted. The number of likes, views and shares of the videos featuring each theme was recorded.ResultVideos with the hashtag #CAMHS had 203.9 million views, followed by: #camhsmeme(s) totalling 43.1 million views, #camhsjokes with 21.4 million views and #camhskids, 12.5 million views. The top 100 most popular videos represented 24% of total viewed videos with the hashtag #CAMHS.The most popular recurrent themes associated with the hashtag #CAMHS in our sample were: raising awareness of mental health symptoms and management (40% of videos), reference to self-harm (27% of videos) and negative perception of CAMHS (27% of videos).Raising awareness of mental health symptoms and management had the most likes (3,694,700) and views (17,435,900). This was followed by videos with themes of reference to self-harm (3,006,300 likes and 14,382,700 views). The most shared themes were: reference to suicide (shared 56,763 times) and videos which portrayed a theme of negative perception of CAMHS (40,628 shares). Videos with themes of a negative perception of CAMHS also garnered 1,762,500 likes and 8,666,900 views.ConclusionCAMHS is actively represented on TikTok through freely accessible unregulated videos. Videos with themes of raising awareness of mental health symptoms and management can potentially allow young people to share their experiences. Nonetheless, popular hashtags such as #CAMHSmemes and #CAMHSjokes, as well as videos featuring themes of negative perception of CAMHS, could potentially undermine the reputation of CAMHS to existing and future service users. The content of these videos should be taken seriously by CAMHS clinicians as it can potentially provide an insight into service users’ experiences of CAMHS on a scale that has not been observed before. Presently these videos are not screened or modulated by the NHS CAMHS service.

IMPLIKATUR DALAM PERCAKAPAN SELEBGRAM BALI GEK_CANTIK25

Celebgram is a phenomenon that appears in the community. Celebgrams also have an influence on their followers on Instagram accounts. The content made must be interesting, so that it can make them a celebrity. in each content, some are in the form of a monologue, some are in the form of dialogue. With regard to dialogue or conversation, it cannot be separated from pragmatic studies, one of which is the implications in speech acts. This research is a qualitative research, with the data source of Balinese celebrities who are celebrities on Instagram social media. Selebgram which is the source of the data uses Balinese in the video upload. The results of the discussion on the existing problems, found three forms or three types of speech acts which are conversational implicatures based on the theory put forward by Searle. The types of speech acts found were assertive, declarative, and expressive.

Asynchronous Delivery of a 400 Level, Partially Peer-Graded, Oral Presentation and Discussion Course in Systems Neuroscience for 60 Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

A 400-level undergraduate oral presentation and discussion course in Systems Neuroscience was delivered asynchronously online during the COVID-19 pandemic. Enrolled students banked their narrated oral presentations in video format online then engaged in peer evaluation in virtual classrooms through the course website. Student delivered their oral presentation and responded to peer questions at their leisure and convenience, without the stress and anxiety associated with a “live” performance delivery in front of their peers. A remote and asynchronously delivered course facilitated much more peer contact than “live” versions of the course, which included a total of 62 uploaded presentations, 301 video responses uploaded to 1985 questions posed by peers, a total of 1159 feedback questionnaires submitted, 1066 rankings submitted of viewed oral presentations, and 1091 scores submitted evaluating the quality of questions posed by reviewers of oral presentations. A major drawback in the remote, asynchronous deliver was the enormity of peer engagement through the course website portal, which was mostly blind to the instructor because of the inability to effectively cross-index data linked between the student entries in the LEARN course website and the uploaded videos stored within BONGO Video Assignment tool. Nonetheless, a consistent engagement of students, and the positive feedback from enrolled students, indicate that a future version of this oral/written discussion course will be delivered, in part, remotely and asynchronously, even without a mandated delivery of the course by a remote and asynchronous method due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions in 2020–2021.

Then, on 10/10/2020, the terms such as “pancreatic cancer”, “diagnosis of pancreatic cancer” and “treatment of pancreatic cancer” were entered separately in the search bar of YouTube, “relevance” was selected among the filtering options and the most viewed videos were listed. The videos were evaluated with the Global Quality Scale (GQS), the DISCERN scoring system (Quality Criteria for Consumer Health Information, http://www.discern.org.uk), and video power index.Results: Among the 50 videos analysed, 19 videos were uploaded by hospital channels, 17 videos by health channels, seven videos by patients, four videos by blog channels, and three videos by doctors. The mean GQS score of the first researcher was 3.24 ± 0.99 and the mean GQS score of the second researcher was 3.18 ± 0.88 with a significantly high agreement between them (r= 0.628). The mean DISCERN score of the first researcher was 3.48 ± 0.77 and the mean DISCERN score of the second researcher was 3.46 ± 1.09 with a significantly high agreement between them (r= 0.814).Conclusion: In our study, the majority of the videos were found to be of moderate quality. Healthcare professionals should be encouraged to upload more videos with useful content. However, we think that the uploaded videos should definitely go through a professional peer-review process before they are published.

EVALUATING THE MADRASATI PLATFORM FOR THE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM IN SAUDI ARABIAN EDUCATION DURING THE TIME OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The platforms are the pinnacle of technology and digital development in the 21st century. However, until the global COVID-19 pandemic, most schools did not employ these platforms as new teaching and learning methods. The Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia established the Madrasati Platform as the new gateway to distance-teaching and learning for all Saudi' education levels from 1st to 12th grade in the new academic year 2020-2021. This platform is one of the most essential programmes in Saudi Arabia, and is related to many supplemental educational tools. The data involved in this study was collected from three teachers. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the Madrasati Platform in relation to Saudi teachers' perceptions of its use as the primary distance learning platform, and its advantages and disadvantages. The main findings are firstly that teachers should possess technical knowledge about how to use this platform, which highlighted the need for intense training courses for both teachers and students in order to create and foster a successful educational environment. The Madrasati Platform is an integrated platform designed to meet the needs of all of the parties involved. However, students typically neglect to attend the asynchronous virtual classroom on the platform (iEN channels and other uploaded videos) and focus only on the synchronously virtual (live) classroom on Teams. Therefore, this paper presents some recommendations to the Saudi Arabian education stakeholders for improved platform development, and also proposes paths for future research.&#x0D; &#x0D; &lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Article visualizations:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0777/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A Sparse Sampling-Based Framework for Semantic Fast-Forward of First-Person Videos.

Technological advances in sensors have paved the way for digital cameras to become increasingly ubiquitous, which, in turn, led to the popularity of the self-recording culture. As a result, the amount of visual data on the Internet is moving in the opposite direction of the available time and patience of the users. Thus, most of the uploaded videos are doomed to be forgotten and unwatched stashed away in some computer folder or website. In this paper, we address the problem of creating smooth fast-forward videos without losing the relevant content. We present a new adaptive frame selection formulated as a weighted minimum reconstruction problem. Using a smoothing frame transition and filling visual gaps between segments, our approach accelerates first-person videos emphasizing the relevant segments and avoids visual discontinuities. Experiments conducted on controlled videos and also on an unconstrained dataset of First-Person Videos (FPVs) show that, when creating fast-forward videos, our method is able to retain as much relevant information and smoothness as the state-of-the-art techniques, but in less processing time.
