No. of bitstreams: 1 moraes_ecg_dr_bauru.pdf: 4040331 bytes, checksum: 2a19a4abe9d8d36393ef3dff26e544ff (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-27 / Em uma sociedade permeada pela incorporação das tecnologias digitais nas diversas ações do cotidiano, a mediatização ganha relevância em outras instâncias, como a dos eventos científicos. Essas ações, pautadas por atividades presenciais, reúnem o público para tratar de temas relacionados às ciências nas distintas áreas do conhecimento. Considerando a mediatização como o conceito que trata das transformações sociais e culturais, resultantes da ubiquidade dos meios de comunicação na sociedade, nos eventos científicos, a inserção das tecnologias digitais tem contribuído para novos formatos dessas ações, bem como novas modalidades de interação. Diante do exposto, este trabalho visa analisar como o processo de mediatização modifica os eventos científicos. Para isso, inicialmente, construímos um referencial teórico pautado no tema dos eventos e mediatização e seus desdobramentos. Para a realização da pesquisa, empregamos o método de estudo de caso, tendo como objeto de pesquisa o XXXIX Congresso Brasileiro de Estudos Interdisciplinares da Comunicação, promovido pela Intercom. De acordo com esse método, realizamos três pesquisas: observação participante no congresso presencial; análise da página do Facebook, criada para o evento e entrevistas com os diretores da Intercom, para, posteriormente fazer a triangulação dos resultados. Os resultados indicam a relevância das atividades presenciais, sob a perspectiva dos debates entre pares, importantes para o aprimoramento dos trabalhos, como as vivências dos participantes, que resultam da sinergia proporcionada pelo clima do evento. Por outro lado, as tecnologias digitais foram incorporadas ao evento de modo que se tornaram essenciais à sua realização. Elas, inicialmente, facilitam e agilizaram os procedimentos para a organização e participação no congresso, além de proporcionar o acesso livre ao conteúdo científico publicado nos anais eletrônicos do evento. Além disso, a análise demonstrou que as redes sociais digitais são utilizadas para a interação entre os participantes, de modo colaborativo, evidenciando o caráter ativo desse público. Essas redes constituem, ainda, importante fonte de dados que podem contribuir para que os organizadores identifiquem os interesses e expectativas dos participantes. De acordo com os resultados, as tecnologias digitais permeiam todas as etapas dos eventos científicos, mas não substituem as propriedades exclusivas da experiência presencial, constituindo, portanto, uma forma de mediatização indireta. / In a society surrounded by the incorporation of the digital technologies in several daily activities, the mediatization gets its relevancy in other events, like the scientific ones, these events, tied by presential activities, gather the public to deal with themes related to science in different areas of knowledge. Considering the mediatization as a concept that treats the social and cultural transformations as a result of the ubiquity of the communication means in the society, at the scientific events, the insertion of digital technologies has contributed for the format of these new actions, as well as new interaction modalities. Given the above, this paper aims at analyzing how the mediatization process modifies the scientific events. For this, initially, we have built a theoretical referential based on the theme of events, mediatization and its consequences. For the research, we have used a case study method, having as the research object the XXXIX Interdisciplinary Communication Study Brazilian Congress, promoted by Intercom. According to this method, we have performed three researches: observation of the participants at the presential congress; analysis of the Facebook page created for the event and interview with Intercom directors, so that later on the triangulation of results could be made. The results indicate the relevance of the presential activities under the perspective of peer discussions, which are important for the enhancement of the work as well as the experience of the participants, which result in the synergy provided by the events atmosphere. On the other hand, the digital technologies have been incorporated to the event in a way that they became essential to its execution. They have initially made the congress organization and participation easier and faster, besides providing free access to the scientific content published at the events digital records. Besides that, the analysis has demonstrated that the digital social media are used for the interaction of the participants, in a collaborative way, evidencing the active behavior of this public. These networks also represent an important source of data that can contribute for the organizers to identify interests and expectations of the participants. According to the results, the digital technologies are present in all phases of the scientific events, but they do not replace the exclusive properties of the presential experience, composing then a way of indirect mediatization.

Um estudo sobre a construção do diagnóstico de autismo nas comunidades da rede de relacionamento do Orkut no Brasil / A study about the construction of the diagnosis of autism in Brazilian Orkut social network

Valéria Portugal Gonçalves 14 June 2012 (has links)
Fundação Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio de Janeiro / O processo de construção de diagnósticos na contemporaneidade vem sofrendo modificações, constituindo novo foco de trabalho no campo da sociologia médica. O surgimento de grupos de reivindicação de direitos de pacientes e familiares, no final do século XX, determina um novo elemento na criação de categorias diagnósticas. Ao divulgar conhecimento sobre a experiência do doente, e reivindicar tratamentos, esses grupos desafiam a noção de exclusividade do conhecimento médico sobre os diagnósticos. Nesse sentido, a Internet se mostra um terreno fértil de propagação de conhecimento e de mobilização social, tanto de contestação quanto de afirmação do saber médico. Este trabalho faz uma análise do conteúdo de seis comunidades brasileiras de autismo da rede de relacionamentos do Orkut. Alguns resultados são apresentados em relação à divulgação de modelos teóricos, conhecimento baseado no cotidiano de pacientes e formas de ativismo em saúde nessas comunidades virtuais. / The contemporary process of construction of diagnostics has undergone changes, constituting a new focus of research in the field of medical sociology. The emergence of advocacy-groups of patients rights and their families, in the late twentieth century, provides a new element in the creation of diagnostics categories. By spreading knowledge about patient experience and claiming treatments, these groups challenge the notion of exclusivity of medical knowledge about diagnostics. In this sense, Internet proves a fertile terrain of knowledge dissemination and social mobilization of contestation but also affirmation of medical knowledge. This research analyzes the content of discussion from six autism brazilian communities of the Orkut social network. Some results are presented in relation to the dissemination of theoretical models, knowledge based on patients everyday life and forms of health activism in these virtuals communities.

Rede e apoio social e práticas alimentares de crianças no quarto mês de vida / Network and social support and dietary practices of children in the fourth month of life

Caroline Maria da Costa Morgado 29 April 2009 (has links)
Cerca de 97% das crianças brasileiras iniciam a amamentação ao peito nas primeiras horas de vida. No entanto, o início do desmame é precoce, ocorrendo nas primeiras semanas ou meses de vida, com a introdução de água, chás, sucos, outros leites e alimentos. Fatores sociais, culturais, psicológicos e econômicos, ligados à mãe e ao bebê, podem estar relacionados a variações das práticas alimentares de crianças nos primeiros meses de vida. O objetivo do trabalho foi investigar a associação entre rede e apoio social e as práticas alimentares de lactentes no quarto mês de vida. Foi feito um estudo seccional inserido em uma coorte prospectiva, tendo como população fonte recém-nascidos acolhidos em Unidades Básicas de Saúde da Secretaria Municipal de Saúde do Rio de Janeiro. Para avaliar as práticas alimentares foi aplicado às mães (n=313) um recordatório 24h adaptado e foram construídos dois indicadores considerando o consumo de alimentos sólidos e da alimentação láctea. Para medir rede social foram feitas perguntas relacionadas ao número de parentes e amigos com quem a mulher pode contar e à participação em atividades sociais em grupo. Para aferir apoio social foi utilizada uma escala utilizada no Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) e adaptada para uso no Brasil. A análise dos dados se baseou em modelos de regressão logística multinomial, estimando-se razões de chance e respectivos intervalos de 95% de confiança para as associações entre as variáveis. Observou-se 16% dos lactentes em aleitamento materno exclusivo (AME), 18,8% em aleitamento materno predominante (AMP), aproximadamente 48% em uso de leite materno associado a outros alimentos e 16,5% em aleitamento artificial. Em relação ao aleitamento complementar, 25,9% consumiam alimentos sólidos e 37,5% alimentos lácteos. Crianças filhas de mães que referiram menor número de parentes com quem contar e com baixo apoio social apresentaram maior chance de estar em aleitamento artificial em relação ao AME, quando comparadas com filhas de mães que referiram poder contar com parentes ou com nível alto de apoio social. O baixo apoio social nas dimensões emocional/informação apresentou associação com AMP. Tendo em vista os achados apresentados, destaca-se a necessidade de integrar os membros da rede social da mulher à atenção pré-natal, ao parto e puerpério de modo que esta rede possa prover o apoio social que atenda as suas necessidades e, assim, contribuir para iniciação e manutenção do AME. / Around 97% of Brazilian children start breastfeeding during the first hours of life. However, the beginning of weaning occurs early, in the first weeks or months, with the introduction of water, teas, juices, other types of milk and food. Social, cultural, psychological and economic factors, linked to the mother and the baby, may be related to variations of childrens feeding practices in the first months of life. To investigate the relation between social network, social support and feeding practices of infants in their fourth month. Sectional study inserted in a prospective cohort, having as the source population newborns taken into Primary Health Care Units of the Municipal Bureau of Health from Rio de Janeiro. To evaluate the feeding practices, an adapted 24-hour dietary recall has been applied to the mothers (n=313) and two indicators were built considering the consumption of solid and milky food. To measure the social network, questions related to the number of relatives and friends to whom the woman can rely on were asked as well as the participation in social activities. A scale used on the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) was adapted to Brazil and used to measure social support. The analysis was based on multinomial logistic regression models estimating odds ratio and respective 95% confidence intervals, for the associations between variables. It was observed that 16% of infants were on exclusive breastfeeding, 18.8% were on predominant breastfeeding, approximately 48% received breast milk and other food and 16.5% were on bottle-feeding. In relation to complementary breastfeeding, almost 25.9% consumed solid food and 37% milky food. Children whose mothers had a small number of relatives to count on and with low social support were more likely to be on bottle-feeding than on exclusive breastfeeding, when compared to children whose mothers can reckon on relatives or with a high level of social support. Low social support regarding emotional/information was shown to be associated to predominant breastfeeding. According to the data presented, the need to integrate all the actors of the social network of the woman during pre-natal, birth and the after birth period should be highlighted, in a way that social support can serve the mothers requirements, contributing to the beginning and maintenance of breastfeeding.

Assessing the credibility of online social network messages

Makinde, Oghenefejiro Winnie January 2018 (has links)
Information gathered socially online is a key feature of the growth and development of modern society. Presently the Internet is a platform for the distribution of data. Millions of people use Online Social Networks daily as a tool to get updated with social, political, educational or other occurrences. In many cases information derived from an Online Social Network is acted upon and often shared with other networks, without further assessments or judgments. Many people do not check to see if the information shared is credible. A user may trust the information generated by a close friend without questioning its credibility, in contrast to a message generated by an unknown user. This work considers the concept of credibility in the wider sense, by proposing whether a user can trust the service provider or even the information itself. Two key components of credibility have been explored; trustworthiness and expertise. Credibility has been researched in the past using Twitter as a validation tool. The research was focused on automatic methods of assessing the credibility of sets of tweets using analysis of microblog postings related to trending topics to determine the credibility of tweets. This research develops a framework that can assist the assessment of the credibility of messages in Online Social Networks. Four types of credibility are explored (experienced, surface, reputed and presumed credibility) resulting in a credibility hierarchy. To determine the credibility of messages generated and distributed in Online Social Networks, a virtual network is created, which attributes nodes with individual views to generate messages in the network at random, recording data from a network and analysing the data based on the behaviour exhibited by agents (an agent-based modelling approach). The factors considered for the experiment design included; peer-to-peer networking, collaboration, opinion formation and network rewiring. The behaviour of agents, frequency in which messages are shared and used, the pathway of the messages and how this affects credibility of messages is also considered. A framework is designed and the resulting data are tested using the design. The resulting data generated validated the framework in part, supporting an approach whereby the concept of tagging the message status assists the understanding and application of the credibility hierarchy. Validation was carried out with Twitter data acquired through twitter’s Application Programming Interface (API). There were similarities in the generation and frequency of the message distributions in the network; these findings were also recorded and analysed using the framework proposed. Some limitations were encountered while acquiring data from Twitter, however, there was sufficient evidence of correlation between the simulated and real social network datasets to indicate the validity of the framework.

Managing a User's Vulnerability on a Social Networking Site

January 2015 (has links)
abstract: Users often join an online social networking (OSN) site, like Facebook, to remain social, by either staying connected with friends or expanding social networks. On an OSN site, users generally share variety of personal information which is often expected to be visible to their friends, but sometimes vulnerable to unwarranted access from others. The recent study suggests that many personal attributes, including religious and political affiliations, sexual orientation, relationship status, age, and gender, are predictable using users' personal data from an OSN site. The majority of users want to remain socially active, and protect their personal data at the same time. This tension leads to a user's vulnerability, allowing privacy attacks which can cause physical and emotional distress to a user, sometimes with dire consequences. For example, stalkers can make use of personal information available on an OSN site to their personal gain. This dissertation aims to systematically study a user vulnerability against such privacy attacks. A user vulnerability can be managed in three steps: (1) identifying, (2) measuring and (3) reducing a user vulnerability. Researchers have long been identifying vulnerabilities arising from user's personal data, including user names, demographic attributes, lists of friends, wall posts and associated interactions, multimedia data such as photos, audios and videos, and tagging of friends. Hence, this research first proposes a way to measure and reduce a user vulnerability to protect such personal data. This dissertation also proposes an algorithm to minimize a user's vulnerability while maximizing their social utility values. To address these vulnerability concerns, social networking sites like Facebook usually let their users to adjust their profile settings so as to make some of their data invisible. However, users sometimes interact with others using unprotected posts (e.g., posts from a ``Facebook page\footnote{The term ''Facebook page`` refers to the page which are commonly dedicated for businesses, brands and organizations to share their stories and connect with people.}''). Such interactions help users to become more social and are publicly accessible to everyone. Thus, visibilities of these interactions are beyond the control of their profile settings. I explore such unprotected interactions so that users' are well aware of these new vulnerabilities and adopt measures to mitigate them further. In particular, {\em are users' personal attributes predictable using only the unprotected interactions}? To answer this question, I address a novel problem of predictability of users' personal attributes with unprotected interactions. The extreme sparsity patterns in users' unprotected interactions pose a serious challenge. Therefore, I approach to mitigating the data sparsity challenge by designing a novel attribute prediction framework using only the unprotected interactions. Experimental results on Facebook dataset demonstrates that the proposed framework can predict users' personal attributes. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Computer Science 2015

Three Essays on Innovation: Optimal Licensing Strategies, New Variety Adoption, and Consumer Preference in a Peer Network

January 2015 (has links)
abstract: It is well understood that innovation drives productivity growth in agriculture. Innovation, however, is a process that involves activities distributed throughout the supply chain. In this dissertation I investigate three topics that are at the core of the distribution and diffusion of innovation: optimal licensing of university-based inventions, new variety adoption among farmers, and consumers’ choice of new products within a social network environment. University researchers assume an important role in innovation, particularly as a result of the Bayh-Dole Act, which allowed universities to license inventions funded by federal research dollars, to private industry. Aligning the incentives to innovate at the university level with the incentives to adopt downstream, I show that non-exclusive licensing is preferred under both fixed fee and royalty licensing. Finding support for non-exclusive licensing is important as it provides evidence that the concept underlying the Bayh-Dole Act has economic merit, namely that the goals of university-based researchers are consistent with those of society, and taxpayers, in general. After licensing, new products enter the diffusion process. Using a case study of small holders in Mozambique, I observe substantial geographic clustering of new-variety adoption decisions. Controlling for the other potential factors, I find that information diffusion through space is largely responsible for variation in adoption. As predicted by a social learning model, spatial effects are not based on geographic distance, but rather on neighbor-relationships that follow from information exchange. My findings are consistent with others who find information to be the primary barrier to adoption, and means that adoption can be accelerated by improving information exchange among farmers. Ultimately, innovation is only useful when adopted by end consumers. Consumers’ choices of new products are determined by many factors such as personal preferences, the attributes of the products, and more importantly, peer recommendations. My experimental data shows that peers are indeed important, but “weak ties” or information from friends-of-friends is more important than close friends. Further, others regarded as experts in the subject matter exert the strongest influence on peer choices. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Business Administration 2015

Scenario Planning for Sustainable Dark Skies: Altering Mental Models and Environmental Attitudes Through Scenario Planning

January 2016 (has links)
abstract: Recent research within the field of natural resource management has been devoted to studying the cognitive structures, called mental models, that guide people’s thoughts, actions, and decision-making. Artificial lighting threatens the sustainability of pristine night skies around the world and is growing worldwide at an average rate of six-percent per year. Despite these trends, stakeholders’ mental models of night skies have been unexplored. This study will address this gap by eliciting stakeholders’ mental models of dark skies. Scenario planning has become a pervasive tool across diverse sectors to analyze complex systems for making decisions under uncertainty. The theory of scenario planning hypothesizes that scenario planning contributes to learning and improves upon participants’ mental models. However, there have been scant empirical studies attempting to investigate these two claims. Stakeholders’ mental models of dark skies were mapped while simultaneously testing the hypotheses that participation in scenario planning results in more complex mental models and alters environmental attitudes. Twenty-one Arizona stakeholders participated in one of two workshops during September 2016. Three identical surveys were given to measure knowledge, environmental attitudes and mental model change during the workshops. Knowledge gain peaked during the introductory lecture and continued to increase during the workshop. Scenario planning increased participants’ environmental attitudes from anthropocentric to nature-centered and was found to have a significant positive impact on dark sky advocates’ change in mental model complexity. The most prominent drivers affecting dark skies were identified using social network analysis of the pre and post mental models. The most prominent concepts were altered significantly from pre to post workshop suggesting that scenario planning may aid practitioners in understanding exogenous factors to their area of expertise. These findings have critical theoretical and managerial implications of mental model alteration, environmental attitudes, and the future of Arizona’s night skies. A revised theoretical framework is offered to include environmental attitudes into the theory of scenario planning and a conceptual framework was created to illustrate the most salient drivers affecting or being affected by dark skies. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Community Resources and Development 2016

Detecting Political Framing Shifts and the Adversarial Phrases within\\ Rival Factions and Ranking Temporal Snapshot Contents in Social Media

January 2018 (has links)
abstract: Social Computing is an area of computer science concerned with dynamics of communities and cultures, created through computer-mediated social interaction. Various social media platforms, such as social network services and microblogging, enable users to come together and create social movements expressing their opinions on diverse sets of issues, events, complaints, grievances, and goals. Methods for monitoring and summarizing these types of sociopolitical trends, its leaders and followers, messages, and dynamics are needed. In this dissertation, a framework comprising of community and content-based computational methods is presented to provide insights for multilingual and noisy political social media content. First, a model is developed to predict the emergence of viral hashtag breakouts, using network features. Next, another model is developed to detect and compare individual and organizational accounts, by using a set of domain and language-independent features. The third model exposes contentious issues, driving reactionary dynamics between opposing camps. The fourth model develops community detection and visualization methods to reveal underlying dynamics and key messages that drive dynamics. The final model presents a use case methodology for detecting and monitoring foreign influence, wherein a state actor and news media under its control attempt to shift public opinion by framing information to support multiple adversarial narratives that facilitate their goals. In each case, a discussion of novel aspects and contributions of the models is presented, as well as quantitative and qualitative evaluations. An analysis of multiple conflict situations will be conducted, covering areas in the UK, Bangladesh, Libya and the Ukraine where adversarial framing lead to polarization, declines in social cohesion, social unrest, and even civil wars (e.g., Libya and the Ukraine). / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Computer Science 2018

MOBILIZAÇÃO SOCIAL NO FACEBOOK: CONECTANDO SOLIDARIEDADE E JUSTIÇA NO CASO DA BOATE KISS. / SOCIAL MOBILIZATION ON FACEBOOK: CONNECTING AND SOCIAL JUSTICE IN THE CASE OF NIGHTCLUB KISS.

Silva, Carolina Moro da 19 May 2014 (has links)
The research takes into account the penetration of information and communication technologies in all spheres of human activity and the configuration of logic networks as central to contemporary social organization. In this context, the study focuses on the communication phenomenon of online social networks for social mobilization in the case of the tragedy of Kiss Nightclub in Santa Maria - RS. Therefore, we built our research problem in seeking to understand how and by whom collective identities were constructed in social mobilizations organized by Facebook around the tragedy of Nightclub Kiss. Therefore, the main objective of the research was to investigate the collective identities constructed via online social networks in order to identify the role of online social networks to organize the protests network. This general objective derives specific: identify generating feelings of these mobilizations and possible implications for the construction of collective identities; was to investigate how this organization, which existing conflicts and how actions were effected by these collectives. The data that make up the cutout of the study were collected through online and offline observations and semi-structured interviews with subjects participating in two mobilizations in the urban area of Santa Maria and from three events created on Facebook as a result of the fire: the Walk to Peace (organized from Facebook events Walk Mourning and Walk to Peace) and Protest for Justice (organized by event Protest for Justice). As a theoretical framework we seek the reflections of researchers of social movements, movements in networks, social movements and social networks like Touraine (2009), Castells (2012), Toro (1996) e Recuero (2009). As a result, we noticed that subjects formed networks to mobilize action through online social network Facebook, promote volunteerism, gather information and encourage debate about the responsibility of the fire. The mobilizations were analyzed based primarily by feelings of solidarity and outrage. In short, organized communication networks, sharing affects, debating positions contrary and uniting to overcome pain in the form of social mobilization actions. / A pesquisa leva em conta a penetrabilidade das tecnologias da informação e da comunicação em todas as esferas da atividade humana e a configuração da lógica de redes como central para a organização social contemporânea. Nesse contexto, o estudo tem como foco o fenômeno comunicacional das redes sociais online para mobilização social no caso da tragédia da Boate Kiss, em Santa Maria - RS. Assim, construímos nosso problema de pesquisa que identidades coletivas e sentimentos foram acionados no Facebook para mobilizações sociais em torno da tragédia da Boate Kiss? Portanto, o objetivo principal da pesquisa é investigar as identidades coletivas e sentimentos acionados via redes sociais online, de modo a identificar o papel das redes sociais online para a organização das mobilizações em rede. Desse objetivo geral decorrem os específicos: identificar os sentimentos geradores destas mobilizações e possíveis implicações na construção de identidades coletivas; investigar como foi esta organização, quais os conflitos existentes e como as ações foram efetivadas por estes coletivos. Para alcançar nossos objetivos utilizamos como metodologia um estudo de caso, a partir de observações online e offline. Os dados que compõem o recorte do estudo foram coletados por meio de observações online e offline e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com sujeitos participantes de duas mobilizações no espaço urbano de Santa Maria e oriundas de três eventos criados no Facebook em decorrência do incêndio: a Caminhada da Paz (organizada a partir dos eventos do Facebook Caminhada do Luto e Caminhada da Paz) e o Protesto por Justiça (organizado pelo evento Protesto por Justiça).Como marco teórico buscamos as reflexões de pesquisadores de movimentos sociais, movimentos em rede, mobilizações sociais e redes sociais como Touraine (2009), Castells (2012), Toro (1996) e Recuero (2009). Como resultados, percebemos que sujeitos formaram redes para mobilizar ações através da rede social online Facebook, promover voluntariado, reunir informações e fomentar debates sobre a responsabilidade do incêndio. As mobilizações analisadas foram baseadas principalmente pelos sentimentos de solidariedade e indignação. Em suma, organizaram redes de comunicação, partilhando afetos, debatendo posicionamentos contrários e unindo-se para superação da dor em forma de ações de mobilização social.
