Japanese Perception of Brain Death and Implications for New Medical Technologies: Quantitative and Qualitative Social Media Analysis.

Brain death has been used to decide whether to keep sustained care and treatment. It can facilitate tissue, organ, and body donation for several purposes, such as transplantation and medical education and research. In Japan, brain death has strict diagnostic criteria and family consent is crucial, but it has been a challenging concept for the public since its introduction, including knowledge and communication issues. We analyzed data across YouTube and Twitter in Japan to uncover actors and assess the quality of brain death communication, providing recommendations to communicate new medical technologies. Using the keyword "" (brain death), we collected recent data from YouTube and Twitter, classifying the data into 5 dimensions: time, individuality (type of users), place, activity, and relations (hyperlinks). We employed a scale to evaluate brain death information quality. We divided YouTube videos into 3 groups and assessed their differences through statistical analysis. We also provided a text-based analysis of brain death-related narratives. Most videos (20/61, 33%) were uploaded in 2019, while 10,892 tweets peaked between July 3 and 9, 2023, and June 12 and 18, 2023. Videos about brain death were mostly uploaded by citizens (18/61, 27%), followed by media (13/61, 20%) and unknown actors (10/61, 15%). On the other hand, most identified users in a random sample of 100 tweets were citizens (73/100, 73%), and the top 10 retweeted and liked tweets were also mostly authored by citizens (75/100, 75%). No specific information on location was uncovered. Information videos contained guides for accreditation of the National Nursing Exam and religious points of view, while misinformation videos mostly contained promotions by spirituality actors and webtoon artists. Some tweets involved heart transplantation and patient narratives. Most hyperlinks pointed to YouTube and Twitter. Brain death has become a common topic in everyday life, with some actors disseminating high-quality information, others disseminating no medical information, and others disseminating misinformation. Recommendations include partnering with interested actors, discussing medical information in detail, and teaching people to recognize pseudoscience.

Automatic Identification of Game Stuttering via Gameplay Videos Analysis

Modern video games are extremely complex software systems and, as such, they might suffer from several types of post-release issues. A particularly insidious issue is constituted by drops in the frame rate ( i.e. , stuttering events), which might have a negative impact on the user experience. Stuttering events are frequently documented in the million of hours of gameplay videos shared by players on platforms such as Twitch or YouTube. From the developers’ perspective, these videos represent a free source of documented “testing activities”. However, especially for popular games, the quantity and length of these videos make impractical their manual inspection. We introduce HASTE, an approach for the automatic detection of stuttering events in gameplay videos that can be exploited to generate candidate bug reports. HASTE firstly splits a given video into visually coherent slices, with the goal of filtering-out those that not representing actual gameplay ( e.g ., navigating the game settings). Then, it identifies the subset of pixels in the video frames which actually show the game in action excluding additional elements on screen such as the logo of the YouTube channel, on-screen chats etc. In this way, HASTE can exploit state-of-the-art image similarity metrics to identify candidate stuttering events, namely subsequent frames being almost identical in the pixels depicting the game. We evaluate the different steps behind HASTE on a total of 105 videos showing that it can correctly extract video slices with a 76% precision, and can correctly identify the slices related to gameplay with a recall and precision higher than 77%. Overall, HASTE achieves 71% recall and 89% precision for the identification of stuttering events in gameplay videos.

Gus Baha’s Perspective on Religious Tolerance and How the Public Respond

Tolerance in religion practices among different groups or differen religious communities is always important in plural societies like Indonesia. However, the fact shows that many intolarance cases still occur in the country. This study is an endevour to explore the tolerance teaching brought by Gus Baha in his traditional islamic lectures. In addition, the reaction of the public to the teaching was also examined. It adopted a digital ethnography approach employing virtual data as the main sources, including YouTube Video, and the comments of netizen following them. The ideas of tolerance were analyzed thematically, and the comments were classified, following the Appraisal theory (Martin & Rose, 2005). Based on the analysis, it reveals that Gus Baha makes use of old stories involving prophets, the Prophet and his companion as they implemented tolerant practices of daily business and religious matters. The stories there proved upscaled tolerance exemplified by the best models for Moslem communities. The public (netizen) have shown positive responses toward the ideas, as it is proved from their positive emotion (80%), and judgment (74%), meaning they like the idea and agree that they are right. In turn, it is expected that they would practice the models of tolerance in their own daily lives.

Assessing head injury risks in electric scooter accidents: A multi-body simulation study with insights into sex differences

E-scooters have become increasingly popular for short-distance travel in urban areas, but this rise in usage also brings about an increased risk of accidents. Studies have shown that approximately 40% of electric scooter accident victims admitted to hospitals suffer head injuries. Therefore, it is crucial to implement safety measures and improve safety systems and equipment to mitigate these risks. One approach to gaining insights into the injuries users face is through simulations using the multi-body method. This method allows for the reconstruction of accidents by modeling and analyzing the dynamic behavior of interconnected bodies. This study aims to assess the impacts on the user’s head and the injuries they may sustain in electric scooter accidents using numerical methods. Initially, a reference scenario was established based on a YouTube video, with the assumption that the user was an average-height man. Simulations were conducted for various percentiles, including both males and females. Different velocities were simulated to determine the threshold velocity at which survival becomes practically impossible. Two scenarios were considered: one where the car braked for 0.333 s and another where the distance between the start the braking task and the collision was kept constant. The location of the first head impact on the vehicle was also examined. Injury assessment was conducted using two criteria: Head Injury Criterion (HIC) and Brain Injury Criterion (BrIC). The study found that smaller individuals are more vulnerable to severe injuries, and higher car velocities correlate with more severe user injuries. Furthermore, the location of the first impact varies between genders, with women more likely to experience impacts in the lower part of the windshield, while men tend to experience impacts in the central zone. This study highlights the importance of considering user characteristics and accident dynamics in assessing injury risks associated with e-scooters.

Evaluating the Information Quality of YouTube Videos on Manual Medicine/Therapy

ObjectivesThis study evaluates the educational quality and reliability of manual medicine/therapy-related YouTube videos to determine their suitability for information seekers and their potential use in manual therapy education. MethodsA cross-sectional analysis of 113 YouTube videos related to manual medicine/therapy was conducted. Video characteristics, including likes, dislikes, view count, duration, and speaker profile, were assessed. Popularity, educational quality, and reliability were evaluated using the Video Power Index (VPI), Global Quality Scale (GQS), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) criteria, and modified DISCERN tool. ResultsNo significant differences were found among speaker groups (physicians, physiotherapists, osteopaths & chiropractors) in assessment parameters. Videos on “Manipulation” and “Mobilization/Stretching/Examination” received more likes and views than “General Information” videos. Video duration positively correlated with JAMA, GQS, and mDISCERN scores, indicating higher educational quality in longer videos. However, overall educational quality and reliability were moderate to weak. ConclusionsThe study underscores the need for content creators to enhance the educational quality of manual medicine/therapy videos. Practical application-oriented content is popular, and quality video resources can serve as a valuable complement to hands-on instruction in manual therapy education. Implications for practice1.This study provides a comprehensive evaluation of YouTube videos on manual medicine/therapy, highlighting no significant superiority in educational quality and reliability among videos from different professional speakers.2.This research fills a gap by offering a broad perspective on the educational value of these videos, which has not been explored in such depth previously.3.Despite moderate to weak overall educational quality and reliability, videos focusing on practical applications such as manipulation and mobilization/stretching/examination are more popular and frequently viewed. This suggests that such content might serve as an effective supplement to manual therapy training and also proves valuable in demonstrating to patients the procedures involved in manual therapy, enhancing their understanding and engagement with treatment protocols.4.Enhancing video content quality could significantly benefit manual therapy education by providing high-quality, reliable resources that complement traditional educational methods, especially in demonstrating practical techniques.

Is YouTube really a source of information on MRI guided prostate biopsy?

Background: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the overall quality of the information in YouTube™ videos about prostate MRI -guided biopsy and whether it describes the procedure. Materials and methods: The terms " MRI -guided biopsy of the prostate" and "MRI targeted prostate biopsy" were searched on YouTube. The first 118 videos of the results were selected, and the written information of the British Association of Urological Surgeons for transrectal ultrasound-guided MRI fusion biopsy was performed. For MRI-guided prostate biopsy, four more questions were added to the MRI-guided prostate biopsy criteria and reviewed by two authors. A qualitative rating was given based on how well they provided information about factors such as preparation for the procedure, the mechanism of the procedure, and possible side effects. In addition, who published the videos (doctor, patient, or YouTuber), target audience (doctors or patients), video duration, upload date, number of daily views, total number of views, number of likes, and comments were recorded. The reliability and quality of the content of these videos included in the study were evaluated using JAMA and GQS scores. Results: A total of 118 videos were reviewed; 3 videos were rated "excellent" and 56 videos were rated "very poor". 91 of the videos (77%) were prepared for physicians, and the remaining videos were prepared by non-physicians. The average duration of the videos was 9.8 minutes, and the average number of daily views was 14.3. The number of views varied between 19 and 710,399 (average: 21). While the average of likes was 62.5, the average of comments was 4.3. The average number of views was 4.3. The score was found to be 3.54 ± 0.5 out of 5. The GQS average was calculated as 4.42 ± 0.56 out of 5. When the videos uploaded by physicians and non-physicians were compared, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of the average duration of the videos, JAMA scores, or number of comments. The number of daily views, number of likes, total number of views, GQS, and scoring criteria were statistically higher in the videos prepared by non-physicians. Conclusion: Information about MRI-guided prostate biopsies on YouTube is not of a high enough standard to allow patients to make informed decisions. Therefore, healthcare professionals must produce high-quality, informative, patient-focused medical YouTube videos.

Assessment of the Quality, Reliability, and Popularity of Information About Retinoblastoma on YouTube.

To evaluate the quality, reliability, and popularity of YouTube videos addressing retinoblastoma. This was a retrospective, cross-sectional, register-based study. A YouTube search was performed using the keyword retinoblastoma and the first 100 videos that came out were included in the study. Duplicate videos, videos that were not in English, and videos that were less than 1 minute were excluded. The number of views, likes, dislikes, comments, video type (uploaded by physicians, uploaded by public or private institution, uploaded by health channel or uploaded by patients), and country of origin were evaluated for all videos. The popularity of the videos was evaluated with the Video Power Index. The quality of the videos was measured using the DISCERN score (DISCERN), Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria, and Global Quality Score (GQS). Of the 100 videos, 70 videos met the criteria and were included in the study. The mean DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores were 42.54 ± 18.77, 2.14 ± 1.03, 2.87 ± 1.42 and 2.99 ± 1.44, respectively. On examining the upload source 18 (25.7%) videos were uploaded by private institutions, 15 (21.4%) videos by physicians, 14 (20.0%) videos by public institutions, 14 (20.0%) videos by health channels, and 9 (12.9%) videos by patients. There was a significant level of agreement between the two commentators evaluating the videos with a power of 91.6% (kappa score: 0.916). Videos uploaded by physicians and public or private institutions had significantly higher DISCERN, JAMA, and GQS scores. The content of YouTube videos regarding retinoblastoma is generally of moderate quality for patients. Increasing the number of videos uploaded by physicians and public or private institutions will increase the quality, reliability, and informative value of the videos.

Is YouTube a sufficient source of information on Sarcoidosis?

BackgroundThe internet is a common source of health information for patients and caregivers. To date, content and information quality of YouTube videos on sarcoidosis has not been studied. The aim of our study was to investigate the content and quality of information on sarcoidosis provided by YouTube videos.MethodsOf the first 200 results under the search term “sarcoidosis,” all English-language videos with content directed at patients were included. Two independent investigators assessed the content of the videos based on 25 predefined key features (content score with 0–25 points), as well as reliability and quality (HONCode score with 0–8 points, DISCERN score with 1–5 points). Misinformation contained in the videos was described qualitatively.ResultsThe majority of the 85 included videos were from an academic or governmental source (n = 63, 74%), and median time since upload was 33 months (IQR 10–55). Median video duration was 8 min (IQR 3–13) and had a median of 2,044 views (IQR 504 − 13,203). Quality assessment suggested partially sufficient information: mean HONCode score was 4.4 (SD 0.9) with 91% of videos having a medium quality HONCode evaluation. Mean DISCERN score was 2.3 (SD 0.5). Video content was generally poor with a mean of 10.5 points (SD 0.6). Frequently absent key features included information on the course of disease (6%), presence of substantial geographical variation (7%), and importance of screening for extrapulmonary manifestations (11%). HONCode scores were higher in videos from academic or governmental sources (p = 0.003), particularly regarding “transparency of sponsorship” (p < 0.001). DISCERN and content scores did not differ by video category.ConclusionsMost YouTube videos present incomplete information reflected in a poor content score, especially regarding screening for extrapulmonary manifestations. Quality was partially sufficient with higher scores in videos from academic or governmental sources, but often missing references and citing specific evidence. Improving patient access to trustworthy and up to date information is needed.

YouTubing Remittances, Revealing (Dis)connectedness: Copresence as Fiction, Ideal and Heuristic on the YouTube Channel of Western Union

ABSTRACTSending and receiving remittances is central to the negotiation of transnational family life, and to nourishing a sense of copresence among physically distant parties. Although the lived experience of this transaction has a very intimate and personal basis, it is also subject to increasing visual and public representation, as a part of the working of dedicated migration industries. Based on an in‐depth exploration of the advertising materials on the YouTube channel of Western Union (WU), we analyse how money circulation is made visible, emplaced in migrant life circumstances and co‐produced through visual narratives that illuminate the micro‐foundations of copresence and its structural limitations. While following the rationale of a commercial product, and despite their idealized contents, WU's stories are revealing about the relational affordances for virtual copresence, its shortcomings and the social embeddedness of remittances in family life.

ANALISIS YURIDIS PERLINDUNGAN HUKUM TERHADAP PENCIPTA LAGU ATAS TINDAKAN COVER MELALUI MEDIA SOSIAL BERDASARKAN UNDANG-UNDANG HAK CIPTA

Legal protection is an obligation that must be fulfilled by the government to provide a sense of security to the public, one of which is legal protection in the field of copyright relating to musical works of art. This research is motivated by the many cases that occur in society related to copyright violations in the music sector, namely illegal song covers via the YouTube platform and other social media, content creators or YouTubers earn income from the adsens of the videos they upload while on the other hand this detrimental to the songwriters or copyright holders of the song. The formulation of the problem in this research is what is the legal protection for songwriters for covering acts via social media platforms based on copyright law, what actions can be taken by songwriters for covering acts via social media platforms based on copyright law, This research was conducted using a normative method using a statute approach and a conceptual approach and a problem approach. The results of this study provide legal protection for songwriters for cover acts through the YouTube platform based on Law No. 28 of 2014 and preventive efforts made by the government through the Ministry of Communication and Information (Kemenkominfo) to regulate YouTube channels or other social media by blocking them and then applying pressure (repression) such as compensation to requesting a stop to illegal cover activities of the works produced.

Necro-branding: Elvis Presley as a necro-celebrity

ABSTRACT A myriad of investigations has examined the life and works of Elvis Presley from music, entertainment, and cultural perspectives. There is little doubt about his remarkable longevity and marketability. Yet, surprisingly, there has been little scholarly work attempting to explain the entertainer’s impact on a global scale, specifically from a branding perspective. Drawing from the emerging stream of research on necro-marketing, we introduce the novel concept of ‘necro-branding’ and associated, ‘necro-celebrity’, into the literature. We develop insights into consumer comments of 13,000 Elvis Presley YouTube videos via sentiment and lexical analyses. Key themes emerging from that investigation provide insights into that new concept of necro-branding. In particular, religion, musical talent, American culture, ceremonial and ritualistic elements, affect capturing, and mystical aura ‘the eternal’ resulted from our analysis. While these themes relate specifically to Elvis Presley, we argue, they would also be directly applicable to other famous dead celebrities, or as we now coin the term, necro-celebrities. Finally, theory stemming from our analysis presents a framework to explain a fan and other stakeholders (Elvis Presley Enterprises EPE, family, impersonators, festival organisers, Graceland) co-created Elvis brand that may have equal applicability to other necro-celebrities, just with different context.

Register of male and female Arabic language teachers on YouTube channels: A gender analysis in sociolinguistics

Language and gender have a strong connection, especially in a social context. This study examines register in Arabic by looking at the language used by male and female teachers who utilize the YouTube media platform to provide basic Arabic tutorials. From these videos, the language characteristics of male and female Arabic language teachers can be observed, in terms of gender. In general, this study investigates the registers of male and female Arabic language teachers. Specifically, it elaborates on the significant differences between the language used by male and female Arabic language teachers based on a register analysis. The research question is thus divided into two: (1) what is the typical character of male teachers and female teachers of Arabic on YouTube channels; (2) how do male and female Arabic teachers use register on YouTube channels. The method used in this research can be divided into three stages. The first stage was the data collection, which was carried out by viewing and observing Arabic language learning videos uploaded onto YouTube channels by male and female teachers. The second stage was the data analysis, which used the model of Miles and Huberman, consisting of data reduction, data display and data conclusion. The final stage was the reporting of the results, using illustrative quotes in the form of descriptions and narratives related to the language registers of male and female teachers in terms of a sociolinguistic study. The gender-based language characteristics can be identified from aspects of gesture, word choice, greeting pronunciation and the mention of personal names. This research contributes to the development of the study of language learning in terms of gender based on an online social media platform.
