Social media have been heralded as enabling new forms of public engagement and as a place to study social issues. In this paper, we study a public debate on Twitter about personalised medicine. We explore who participates in discussions about personalised medicine on Twitter and what they tweet about. Based on user-generated biographies we categorise users as having a ‘Professional interest in personalised medicine’ or as ‘Private’ users. We describe how users within the field tweet about the promises of personalised medicine, while users unaffiliated with the field tweet about the concrete realisation of these ambitions in the form of a new infrastructure and express concerns about the conditions for the implementation. Our study serves to remind people interested in public opinion that Twitter is a platform used for multiple purposes by different actors and not simply a bottom-up democratic forum. This study contributes with insights relevant to policymakers wishing to expand infrastructures for reuse of health data. First, by providing insights into what is discussed about health data reuse.

The study looked to investigate the technology groups and research efforts within the field of learning technologies that were shaping digitally mediated authentic assessment practices.
Using Horizon Report (HR), an annual education-based technology forecasting publication, as a reference, the study looked to evaluate if HR is a good proxy to predict the evolution of learning technologies in the said scape. Research distinguished four key learning technology groups, namely ubiquitous learning technology, adaptive learning technology, immersive learning technology, and learning object. Network analyses performed on the four technology groups identified key generalizable research themes that can be utilized for research focus. The study also found that HR is a useful tool to predict technology trends, as corroborated from bibliometric analyses, and detailed the composition and evolution of these trends. This study can help educators and researchers identify and decide promising potential areas for future research and/or investment focus.},

Research on the long-term responses of NVOCs derived from various sources to climate warming is warranted to explore the evolution of emissions and the feedback on global climate. It is worthwhile to establish an emission inventory with all kinds of sources, accurate estimation, high spatial and temporal resolution to capture the emission trends in the synergy of industrialization and climate change as well as to simulate the effects on air quality.

This critical review takes an interdisciplinary approach to synthesize trends across case studies, evaluate design methodologies, and identify future opportunities when applying ecosystem biomimicry to engineering practices, including cyber systems (CS), physical systems (PS), and cyber-physical systems (CPS). After systematically sourcing publications from major databases, the papers were first analyzed at a meta level for their bibliographic context and for statistical correlations among categorical variables.

As the invisible killer marched across continents, causing unprecedented disruption worldwide, architects and designers began rethinking how to design cities and adapt their practice so that we might continue to live together in the future.
Architecture after COVID is the first book to explore the pandemic's transformative impacts upon the architectural profession. It raises new questions about the intertwined natures of architectural production, science, society, and spatial practice – questions which had lain latent in the profession for years, but which the COVID pandemic brought to the fore.
The book explores how the pandemic modified the spatial conventions of everyday life in the city, and looks in detail at how it has transformed building typologies. It also shows how the continuing risk of pandemics leads us to rethink the social dimension of architecture and urban design; and ultimately proposes a radical re-evaluation of the conditions of architectural practice – making a compelling argument about the changing agency of architectural design and the importance of designers in re-ordering the post-pandemic world.
Packed with interviews and case-studies from a wide range of contemporary design practices, Architecture after COVID will inspire debates among architectural practitioners and theorists alike. The broad view of the approach and the depth of the professional issues at stake mean that this book will offer key insights for the discipline long beyond the scope of the COVID pandemic – as it explores the long-lasting bond between city, science and society as the 'new normal' begins to emerge.},

Sustainable transition of agriculture is at the forefront of both academic and political agenda, especially in the frame of the next European Common Agricultural Policy. Education and Advisory services are expected to be major drivers of these transitions, by co-producing knowledge with farmers and farm workers, enhancing their competences and supporting their innovation processes. At the same time, advisory services and education face major transformations (digitalisation, privatisation, new governance models, etc.). The relations between these two dynamics - sustainable transition of agriculture and the transformations of advice and education are the matter of debates and controversies. The aim of this conference will be to discuss about concepts, empirical evidence and new methods to support the contribution of advice & education to the various dimensions of sustainability, including social dimensions (inequalities and labour & work conditions) and environmental ones (climate change, biodiversity, water).},

In 2022, at least 60 peer-reviewed academic publications made direct use of our services, adding to a total of over 300. This presentation will focus on SASHIMI (Hannud Abdo, 2021), a network based, mixed-methods approach recently developed in addition to our earlier Network Mapping methods (Cointet 2012, Cointet 2017), available as both a suite of no-code methods in the free-to-use Cortext Manager cloud service, and a free-and-open-source software library. We will present SASHIMI through some examples of socio-semantic analyses: (a) from the field of Transition Studies, an inquiry into the variety of disciplinary manifestations throughout the social sciences of the "research problem of destabilisation of socio-technical systems", that seeks to inform current destabilisation/discontinuation/phase-out studies with a wider understanding of the problem. (b) from the field of Science and Technology Studies, an analysis of policy documents pertaining to the regulation of artificial intelligence, identifying the interplay between major actors associated with different themes, sectors and perspectives (solutionism, contestation, regulation) on the issue; (c) still in STS, an analysis of social media interactions concerning environmental controversies, focusing on the debate around pesticides in France. SASHIMI is based on domain-topic models, an application of network clustering that synthesizes document clustering (or clustering of any kind of hypernode) and topic modeling. It is also based on a suite of human interfaces — block maps, network maps, and hyperlinked tables — that afford interactive exploration and visualization of the different types of clusters, and their relationships, at discrete levels of granularity ranging from the entire corpus to the individual document, from the entire vocabulary to the individual word. The clustering aspect is based on modern community detection methods, namely the Nested Stochastic Block Model (Peixoto, 2015), while introducing a twist to allow further clustering of dimensions attributed to hypernodes (documents), such as people, time, venue or other categorical metadata, that did not participate in the initial clustering — excluded, for example, in order to produce "semantic" document clusters based exclusively on textual contents. To this particular procedure we give the name "chaining". In the context of the three aforementioned examples, we'll explain a set of concepts and practices, emerging from our usage, to productively co-construct meaning between the representations afforded by the models and interfaces, and the goals, inputs and choices of a researcher with field and experiential knowledge. Particularly, how to interpret the clusters and the specificity and commonality scores of inter-cluster relationships employed in the maps, how to build sequences of corpus delimitation and dimension chaining operations and interpret them, and finally how to construct coherent domain groups we call "constellations", and identify attribute flows in their cores and frontiers. },

We will present SASHIMI through some examples of socio-semantic analyses: (a) from the field of Transition Studies, an inquiry into the variety of disciplinary manifestations throughout the social sciences of the "research problem of destabilisation of socio-technical systems", that seeks to inform current destabilisation/discontinuation/phase-out studies with a wider understanding of the problem. (b) from the field of Science and Technology Studies, an analysis of policy documents pertaining to the regulation of artificial intelligence, identifying the interplay between major actors associated with different themes, sectors and perspectives (solutionism, contestation, regulation) on the issue; (c) still in STS, an analysis of social media interactions concerning environmental controversies, focusing on the debate around pesticides in France. SASHIMI is based on domain-topic models, an application of network clustering that synthesizes document clustering (or clustering of any kind of hypernode) and topic modeling. It is also based on a suite of human interfaces — block maps, network maps, and hyperlinked tables — that afford interactive exploration and visualization of the different types of clusters, and their relationships, at discrete levels of granularity ranging from the entire corpus to the individual document, from the entire vocabulary to the individual word. The clustering aspect is based on modern community detection methods, namely the Nested Stochastic Block Model (Peixoto, 2015), while introducing a twist to allow further clustering of dimensions attributed to hypernodes (documents), such as people, time, venue or other categorical metadata, that did not participate in the initial clustering — excluded, for example, in order to produce "semantic" document clusters based exclusively on textual contents. To this particular procedure we give the name "chaining". In the context of the three aforementioned examples, we'll explain a set of concepts and practices, emerging from our usage, to productively co-construct meaning between the representations afforded by the models and interfaces, and the goals, inputs and choices of a researcher with field and experiential knowledge. Particularly, how to interpret the clusters and the specificity and commonality scores of inter-cluster relationships employed in the maps, how to build sequences of corpus delimitation and dimension chaining operations and interpret them, and finally how to construct coherent domain groups we call "constellations", and identify attribute flows in their cores and frontiers.

A escolha dessas celebridades teve origem na análise de matérias digitais sobre “famosos cancelados em 2022” , sendo os procedimentos de pesquisa documental online uma das técnicas fundamentais para essa etapa. A metodologia combinou, principalmente, técnicas de análise de conteúdo e análise de redes sociais para investigar as conversações de cada caso no Twitter. Dada as particularidades de cada fato, foram levantadas e extraídas publicações que mencionavam a figura pública em questão, especificamente nas semanas dos fatos. Os dados revelaram a forte presença de discurso de ódio, através de publicações com ataques e insultos às celebridades, advindos de uma grande maioria de usuários canceladores. Além disso, a investigação mostra que a suposta relação entre o fenômeno do cancelamento e o agendamento de pautas identitárias e morais nem sempre mostrou-se significativa, o que indica a ausência de um debate substancial e a tendência de desvio de tópicos durante as interações. Os esforços dos usuários se concentraram, na verdade, em demandar penalidades e consequências às pessoas canceladas. No entanto, há indícios de que os prejuízos de cancelamentos são mais momentâneos do que duradouros, demonstrando o aspecto volátil de episódios de cancelamentos, com pouco impacto transformador na sociedade.
Os resultados também reforçam que a multidimensionalidade do tema eleva a complexidade de sua plena compreensão. Essa jornada investigativa colabora para futuras reflexões sobre ética digital, responsabilidade online e comportamento nas redes sociais.
This study aimed to unravel the primary characteristics of cancel culture. Given the contemporaneity of the subject and the limited literary resources, this research reveals the configurations and implications of this phenomenon, thereby contributing to an enhanced understanding of conversational dynamics on social networks. To achieve this, five cases of cancellations of Brazilian public figures in 2022 were analyzed: Monark, Deolane Bezerra, Gkay, Jade Picon, and Luísa Sonza. The selection of these celebrities originated from the analysis of digital articles regarding "celebrities canceled in 2022", with online documentary research procedures being one of the fundamental techniques for this stage. The methodology primarily combined content analysis and social network analysis techniques to investigate the conversations of each case on Twitter. Given the peculiarities of each event, posts mentioning the relevant public figure were identified and extracted, specifically during the weeks of these events. The data revealed a substantial presence of hate speech through posts containing attacks and insults directed at the celebrities, originating from a significant majority of canceling users. Furthermore, the investigation indicates that the supposed relationship between the phenomenon of cancel culture and the scheduling of identity and moral agendas did not always prove significant, suggesting the absence of substantial debate and a tendency to divert from topics during interactions. In reality, the users' efforts were concentrated on demanding penalties and consequences for the canceled individuals. Nonetheless, there are indications that the consequences of cancellations are more ephemeral than enduring, highlighting the volatile nature of cancellation episodes with limited transformative impact on society. The results also underscore that the multidimensionality of the subject enhances the complexity of its comprehensive understanding. This investigative journey contributes to future reflections on digital ethics, online responsibility, and behavior on social media.},

This study identifies how significant it is to follow an FoS trend and the impact of the FoS trend on research paper citations and on authors citation count. For this purpose, we have chosen the field of Computer Science and Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) dataset from the 1950-2018 time period. We extracted publications of different FoS of Computer Science and also citation counts for these publications.
First, we established similarity between citation trends of papers belonging to same FoS using rand index and correlation. Then we proposed a technique to identify trend setters and trend followers that would help to identify influential authors in a particular FoS. Finally, we established the impact of FoS on the citation patterns of authors by achieving a consistent R2 values of papers belonging to same FoS.
The results depict that if papers belong to the same FoS, then there are 69% of the chances of having a similar citation pattern and that they have the same citation trend as they also have achieved a high correlation value. Experimental results show that there is a similarity between citation trend of authors that belong to the same FoS as compared to different FoS and achieved consistent R2 value.

abstract = {Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is increasingly gaining attention both among academia and the business world, as environmental concerns continue to take more critical turns. Legislation is tightening around the topic and sustainability reporting is becoming more mandatory. Disclosure requirements are extending to reach smaller corporations as well. Hence, many companies are in a situation where they need to start reporting about their sustainability for the first time. One significant aspect of these CSR reports is Sustainability Performance Indicators (SPI), which are also part of several reporting frameworks. SPIs are useful tools to transform qualitative information into quantitative. They are considered effective in communicating non-financial information, providing reliable and accurate results for stakeholders.
This thesis investigates the sustainability performance indicators disclosed in the Finnish context, solely focusing on indicators defined by Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). It aims to examine what indicators are companies currently including in their reports, whether there can be differences detected regarding company characteristics, and whether it is possible to assess the level of disclosure quality and completeness. The sample consists of 29 large listed companies with origins in Finland.
Text mining and content analysis are performed on the sample reports to examine the disclosed indicators and disclosure quality.
The results show that on average, companies include 40 out of the total 88 GRI indicators in their reports. Environmental and social indicators are highlighted over economic ones, and the most used indicators relate to emissions and energy usage. Larger companies, both in the sense of revenue and number of employees, use more indicators than smaller ones. Differences are detected between industries, suggesting that air transport uses the most indicators, while companies in finance, insurance,
programming, and consultancy use the least indicators. Regarding the indicator preferences, results show that manufacturing companies focus on material and water, while wholesale and retail companies find procurement practices, waste, and suppliers important. Finance etc. companies then highlight customer privacy over other indicators. Findings suggest that there is room for improvement regarding both completeness of the disclosures and their quality, referring to both report content such as completeness, as well as external qualifications such as clarity. Based on the results it can be stated that companies are under external pressure to disclose sustainability information and use multiple performance indicators, but the pressure does not impact the report quality.
This thesis adds to the literature on sustainability reporting and sustainability performance indicators. It provides new insights into the rather scarce literature on the topic by providing results in the context of Finland. The thesis contributes to the stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, and institutional theory. The results have practical value as well, as can be used by other companies who are starting their sustainability reporting journey, as they can adopt the reporting manners of the larger companies and on the other hand learn from their aberrations.},

Thus, this study performed a bibliometric analysis to examine and analyze the current studies available about the application of CBD in skin treatment. The gaps and unknown information in this field of study were also identified. The databased was Scopus, and the bibliometric analytical tool was CorText. With this, using a network map, the top terms that were derived from CBD studies in the skin were found. Additionally, the links from different countries were seen using a country-based network map. The authors with prominent contributions in this field of study have also been identified using an author-based network map. Furthermore, the relationship between terms and certain journals was observed using a contingency matrix. Moreover, a Sankey diagram showed the evolution of keywords, and an overview of the historical transformation of the different studies under CBD and skin was seen. Finally, An Epic epoch graph highlighted the past and current trends in CBD and skin research. With this, the current challenges and future perspectives of CBD and its effects on the skin were discussed, such as moving on to in vivo trials for CBD and skin research, since a majority (>86%) of all studies has shown potential in CBD as a treatment for skin diseases.},
