Abstract:
Social media has transformed medical education, offering various benefits such as access to diverse learning resources, collaboration opportunities, and networking with professionals worldwide. It's indeed a double-edged sword, offering both benefits and drawbacks. On one hand, social media provides a convenient platform for accessing study materials, communicating with peers, and even engaging with instructors and academic resources. It can foster collaboration, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing. Platforms like Twitter work particularly well for delivering journal clubs and Tweetorials because they permit live global participation. Furthermore, it provides a level of informality that makes experts easier to reach, regardless of status or seniority.

ABSTRACT Big data mining can lead to previously undiscovered links between genes, diseases, symptoms, drugs, etc. However, this mathematical correlation needs medical confirmation and that implies additional efforts of time, human and financial resources that are not always possible. Internet reviews, posts, hashtags can establish an informal corroboration tool, easily available. This paper explores the receptiveness towards a negative bias in health-related electronic Word of Mouth.

Abstract:
The rapid development of technology started to be used in the health sector to develop the quality of human resources. Human resources need to be standardized, such as management and technology. If a hospital unit has standardized human resources in management and technology, this is an indispensable component to face competition and create a hospital with quality services. Some of the problems that are often faced by HRD at Universitas Airlangga Hospital such as selecting the right employees. This study aims to identify and analyze the model of information and communication technology-based learning for medical staff of Universitas Airlangga Hospital. This research was used a quantitative research method using primary data in the form of a questionnaire. In this study, a total of 268 respondents (n=268) gave their opinions regarding statements ranging from strongly agree, agree, normal, disagree, and strongly disagree. Then the data were analyzed by SPSS to be tested for validity, reliability, descriptive, and regression test on each variable relationship. The results of this study conclude that there are positive correlation effect between variables ranging from perceived usefullness on social influence, perceived ease of use on social influence, behavior intention on social influence, perceived usefullness on human resource development for medical staff, perceived ease of use on human resource development for medical staff, behavior intention on development of human resources for medical staff, and social influence on human resources development for medical staff.

Abstract:
<em>Gender is an important consideration in development. It is a way of looking at how social norms and power structures impact on the lives and opportunities available to different groups of men and women. Globally, more women than men live in poverty. Women are also less likely than men to receive basic education and to be appointed to a political position nationally and internationally. Understanding that men and women, boys and girls experience poverty differently, and face different barriers in accessing services, economic resources and political opportunities, helps to target interventions.&nbsp; Before undertaking a gender analysis, it is important to understand the concept of &lsquo;gender&rsquo;. The World Development Report (WDR) 2012 defines gender as socially constructed norms and ideologies, which determine the behaviour and actions of men and women. Understanding these gender relations and the power dynamics behind them is a prerequisite for understanding individuals&rsquo; access to and distribution of resources, their ability to make decisions and the ways in which women and men, boys and girls are affected by political processes and social development.&nbsp; Compared with men, women control fewer political and economic resources, including land, employment and traditional positions of authority. Acknowledging and incorporating these gender inequalities into programmes and analyses is therefore extremely important, both from a human rights perspective and to maximize impact and socioeconomic development.&nbsp; The WDR highlights the importance of directly targeting the persistent constraints and obstacles to women&rsquo;s equality (especially in areas of economic empowerment, educational gaps, household/societal voice, and violence against women) in order to enhance productivity and improve longer-term development outcomes.&nbsp; Gender equality is also important for sustainable peace, and there is a growing body of empirical evidence suggesting that a higher level of gender inequality is associated with higher risks of internal conflict.</em>

Abstract:
In the use of social media in managing medical crises, specific requirements must be considered. The aim of this research is to identify the requirements for utilizing social media in managing medical crises. The method of this research is thematic analysis of documents. In this study, documents, including the final report of the European Union research project on the role of social media in crisis management, were analyzed thematically. To enhance the validity of the data, the themes were referred to two experts in the field and were rewritten after social feedback in crisis management. After analyzing the data using thematic analysis, two main themes and seven sub-themes were identified. The main themes include "raising awareness and empowering citizens to protect themselves and assist others using social media" and "the necessity of proper management of social media by managers." Among the sub-themes, one can refer to "commitment to ethical, legal, and social issues and responsible action" and "ensuring the correct receipt of information by individuals."&nbsp; Conclusion: The identified requirements in this research can be considered for preventing and resolving medical crises at each stage of a crisis. Based on the findings, for the pre-crisis stage, requirements such as raising awareness and empowering citizens were identified; for the crisis stage, requirements such as monitoring social media; and for the post-crisis stage, requirements such as creating recovery resources after the crisis using social media were derived.

This is an exploratory cross- sectional study conducted among a convenience sample of 336 university students via an online survey comprised of the following: demographics, perspectives of health information seeking, and experiences and problems towards HIS. More than two thirds of the sampled students stated that they sought health information. Their most curious subject was lack of physical activity. Searching the internet and using social media were the most used ways to obtain health information. Ease of access and reliability of source were the most affecting sources while searching. Medical students prefer reliable websites in the health domain with high level of quality and credibility. While non-medical students access health information more through social media. Workshops could be organized for medical students to convey to them the proper criteria for selecting credible health websites sources. As regards non-medical students, reliable easily accessible health information sources that could be reached through social media.

Abstract:
BackgroundClinicians in the emergency care specialties often access information via social media (SM) to supplement their learning. The rapid and user-centred dissemination of information via SM speeds knowledge translation and means unnoticed errors may propagate quickly. East Midlands Emergency Medicine Educational Media is a UK web-based resource that produces emergency medicine-related learning materials. In October 2018, we inadvertently shared two sets of incorrect learning materials via SM because of a non-intentional mistake. We highlight how these errors were perpetuated and then corrected.MethodIn October 2018, two separate posts were published on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Reddit. One was an incorrect ECG where a paced rhythm was published instead of an ECG of hypocalcaemia; the other was incorrect information contained within an infographic. We reviewed the analytics of the posts, on each of the SM platforms.ResultsThe ECG mistake was picked up on Facebook 40 hours after posting by a follower. The infographic mistake was picked up on Reddit, within 3 hours. Despite these mistakes, and their correction, they continued to be shared on both Twitter and Facebook. The posts reached over 15 000 people.ConclusionHighlighting errors in educational content shared on SM is rarely reported in academic literature. We feel disclosure, and adding an update to the post is the best methodology to amend errors. We invite debate on a strategy to elucidate the number of errors in medical educational resources shared via SM and strategies on how to correct and improve them.

Abstract:
Consumers face several challenges using the Internet to fill health-related needs. (1) In many cases, they face a language gap as they look for information that is written in unfamiliar technical language. (2) Medical information in social media is of variable quality and may be appealing even when it is dangerous. (3) Discussion groups provide valuable social support for necessary lifestyle changes, but are variable in their levels of activity. (4) Finding less popular groups is tedious. We present solutions to these challenges. We use a novel adaptation of topic models to address the language gap. Conventional topic models discover a set of unrelated topics that together explain the combinations of words in a collection of documents. We add additional structure that provides relationships between topics corresponding to relationships between consumer and technical medical topics. This allows us to support search for technical information using informal consumer medical questions. We also analyze social media related to eating disorders. A third of these videos promote eating disorders and consumers are twice as engaged by these dangerous videos. We study the interactions of two communities in a photo-sharing site. There, a community that encourages recovery from eating disorders interacts with the pro-eating disorder community in an attempt to persuade them, but we found that this attempt entrenches the pro-eating disorder community more firmly in its position. We study the process by which consumers participate in discussion groups in an online diabetes community. We develop novel event history analysis techniques to identify the characteristics of groups in a diabetes community that are correlated with consumer activity. This analysis reveals that uniformly advertise the popular groups to all consumers impairs the diversity of the groups and limits their value to the community. To help consumers find interesting discussion groups, we develop a system for personalized recommendation for social connections. We extend matrix factorization techniques that are effective for product recommendation so that they become suitable for implicit power-law-distributed social ratings. We identify the best approaches for recommendation of a variety of social connections involving consumers, discussion groups and discussions.

Abstract:
eHealth is commonly defined as health services and information provided through the Internet and related technologies. Health educators have taken advantage of Internet and social media venues to disseminate health information essential to health risk management, disease prevention, and disease management and did not have a validated theoretical model to explain their experiences. The goal of this study was to create and test an integrated model of eHealth communication specific to 18-30 year old college students based on five research questions that identified and confirmed the factors most highly correlated with the presentation of health information on Internet or social media venues that improve eHealth literacy and provoke eHealth behavioral intention among college students. A sample of over 1400 18-30 year old college students was surveyed about their general and health information related use of the Internet and social media. As a result of exploratory factor analysis and subsequent structural equation modeling, the proposed theoretical model was revised and tested for statistical power. Two revised integrative models of eHealth communication, one for Internet and one for social media, were developed and validated. The model for social media shows statistically significant paths throughout the model; however, the model for the Internet reveals that the path between two constructs and Online Health Behavior are not statistically significant and is worthy of further examination. This study has important practical implications for eHealth educators, organizations dedicated to informing the public about specific diseases or health promotion techniques, health practitioners seeking improved strategies for effective eHealth message design, and to health information professionals.

Itani, Maher. "Sentiment analysis and resources for informal Arabic text on social media." Thesis, Sheffield Hallam University, 2018. http://shura.shu.ac.uk/23402/.

Full text
Abstract:
Online content posted by Arab users on social networks does not generally abide by the grammatical and spelling rules. These posts, or comments, are valuable because they contain users' opinions towards different objects such as products, policies, institutions, and people. These opinions constitute important material for commercial and governmental institutions. Commercial institutions can use these opinions to steer marketing campaigns, optimize their products and know the weaknesses and/ or strengths of their products. Governmental institutions can benefit from the social networks posts to detect public opinion before or after legislating a new policy or law and to learn about the main issues that concern citizens. However, the huge size of online data and its noisy nature can hinder manual extraction and classification of opinions present in online comments. Given the irregularity of dialectal Arabic (or informal Arabic), tools developed for formally correct Arabic are of limited use. This is specifically the case when employed in sentiment analysis (SA) where the target of the analysis is social media content. This research implemented a system that addresses this challenge. This work can be roughly divided into three blocks: building a corpus for SA and manually tagging it to check the performance of the constructed lexicon-based (LB) classifier; building a sentiment lexicon that consists of three different sets of patterns (negative, positive, and spam); and finally implementing a classifier that employs the lexicon to classify Facebook comments. In addition to providing resources for dialectal Arabic SA and classifying Facebook comments, this work categorises reasons behind incorrect classification, provides preliminary solutions for some of them with focus on negation, and uses regular expressions to detect the presence of lexemes. This work also illustrates how the constructed classifier works along with its different levels of reporting. Moreover, it compares the performance of the LB classifier against Naïve Bayes classifier and addresses how NLP tools such as POS tagging and Named Entity Recognition can be employed in SA. In addition, the work studies the performance of the implemented LB classifier and the developed sentiment lexicon when used to classify other corpora used in the literature, and the performance of lexicons used in the literature to classify the corpora constructed in this research. With minor changes, the classifier can be used in domain classification of documents (sports, science, news, etc.). The work ends with a discussion of research questions arising from the research reported.

Abstract:
Background: Sick leave has increased in Sweden and a common cause is diagnoses related to stress, it is a major problem and a predictor for long term sickness. Stress affects both the individual as well as the society. Social media usage decreases with time and previous research has shown an association with both positive and negative outcomes. Aim: The aim of the present thesis was to evaluate social media usage in association with stress, and whether there are gender differences in such associations. Moreover, if addictive tendencies on social media are associated with stress, and whether the determinants for intention affect social media usage.   Method: A quantitative method with a cross sectional design was used. The data was collected through a random selection and included 300 participants, of which 49,3 % were women and 50,7 % men.   Result: Social media usage were associated with perceived stress levels among both men and women, the strongest association was found among women. Addictive tendencies of social media usage were associated with an increased probability of perceived stress. Attitudes and self-control were associated with an increased probability of addictive tendencies of social media usage, whereas subjective norms were not associated with addictive tendencies of social media usage.   Conclusions: Associations between social media usage and perceived stress levels existed, increased social media usage indicated increased levels of perceived stress, such association was also found depending on gender, and women seemed to be more vulnerable. Individuals with addictive tendencies of social media usage had an increased probability to perceived stress, and an association was found between likes, more than five memberships on social media, and addictive tendencies of social media usage.

Abstract:
New challenges and opportunities have recently arisen for companies’ relationships with customers as a result of the increasing prevalence of social media. By enabling companies to build online communities, social media allow marketers to access information about consumers, identify consumers’ needs, and gain direct consumer feedback. Thus, social media can be a very important and helpful tool for interacting and communicating with customers. In order to sustain such relationships for the long term, however, efforts must be centred around building consumer trust and commitment. This study investigates the role of social media based communities in building relationships with consumers, and the influence of such communities on consumers’ attitudes and behaviours. Specifically, the study investigates whether such influences can lead to trust, commitment, and loyalty towards the organisation. Drawing on Uses and Gratification Theory, Consumption Values Theory, and the Commitment-Trust Theory, the study examines the relationship between consumers using social media channels, trusting these channels, and trusting the organisation that owns these channels. Adopting a positivist deductive approach, quantitative data was collected via a survey strategy. A questionnaire targeting telecommunications company fan pages users in Saudi Arabia was distributed through Twitter and Facebook with help from people who have many followers/likes such as celebrities. More than 700 responses were collected, of which 522 were usable for factor analysis. Based on the results, a cognitive behavioural model was established in relation to social media uses and gratifications, perceived values of social media fan pages, organisational trust, commitment, and loyalty. Users who perceived utilitarian benefits from following a company’s fan pages were likely to trust these pages, whereas perceived hedonic and social benefits did not have an influence on trust towards organization’s fan pages. The findings additionally indicated that consumers who trusted the organization’s fan pages were likely to trust the company. Therefore, telecommunication companies’ fan page users who perceived trust were expected to be committed and loyal to the company, which would consequently, lead to more frequent and larger purchases. The findings contribute to marketing theory and suggest ways in which marketers can tailor companies’ web presence for more effective communication and relationship-building with customers.

Abstract:
In 2011, over 1.5 million new book titles were published in the United States, a 400% increase in just five years compared to 2006. In the same time period, the market share for eBooks increased dramatically and now comprises 20% or more of sales from many of the biggest publishing companies. This hyper-abundance of titles in an increasingly heterogeneous market place has made it difficult for consumers to connect to books they might want to read. This is the discovery problem. It is compounded by the continuing decline of traditional gatekeepers and sources of discovery such as mass media reviews and advertising, as well as the decline of traditional bookstores where people often find books through browse. Authors and publishers therefore have turned to social media to spread the word about their titles. Social gatekeeping, an extension of traditional gatekeeping theory, is proposed as the framework for understanding how author participation in social networks initiates a flow of the diffusion of information over the web and other computer mediated communication channels, and through individuals and social networks to potential readers. Serendipitous browse and discovery is a key strategy for readers to find titles of interest, and the serendipitous tie is proposed as a social mechanism through which individuals discover new titles and bring it back to their social networks to share. To explore these concepts, a random sample of new eBook titles published during the first week of April, 2012 was generated and analyzed in three phases. The first phase of research classified books and authors according to facets such as traditional or self-published, use of social media and other factors. The second phase used multiple regression to establish an association between the use of social media by authors and a title's sales and presence on the Web. The third phase reviewed selected titles for new approaches to social media use and evidence of the serendipitous tie. The results are consistent with the hypothesis that author web presence predicts discoverability and sales.

Abstract:
This research provides insight into the use of social networks and social media by students at the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University. The primary purpose of this research is to investigate student social media practices at NMMU to establish the reasons for students engaging in social media. A growing number of educators acknowledge the potential of social networking to (re)engage learners with their studies, while others fear that such practices compromise and disrupt student engagement with traditional education provision (Selwyn, 2009). This study, therefore, aims to identify how and for what reasons students use social networks and social media. This study attempts to provide answers to the following research questions: For which social networking sites do students register and actively engage in? What is the most popular social networking site for students? How often do students engage in social media practices? What is the main purpose for students engaging in social media practices? How do students gain access to social media? For what educational purposes can social media be used? For which business purposes can social media be used? Do students use social media to collaborate with peers and lecturers? Do students use social media to make buying decisions? The literature overview was conducted on social media and social networks from journals and books published between the periods 2003 to 2011 as the popularity of social media came to the forefront during this period. Topics researched included social networks and libraries, educational and business uses of social networking and social media. A quantitative study was considered to be most appropriate to conduct the research for this study; and non-probability sampling was the most appropriate given the size of the population and the nature of this research. xiv Students were invited to participate in the research by completing and submitting a survey questionnaire at the conclusion of their lectures in the second semester during the month of September. The data collected was then analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics to provide insight into student use of social media. The results would determine if relationships exist between the independent variables from the questionnaire, namely, age, gender, campus and course enrolment and the dependent factors, namely, usage, information exchange and security. This relationship would be determined for both the perceptions of social networking in general and the perceptions of NMMU social networking. These results are then used to identify further areas of research in the future. The majority of the population sample was between the ages of 17 and 21 and primarily females. The sample typically became aware of social media by means of word-of-mouth and accesses their social networking site/s more than five times a day. The main reason for registering and joining social networking sites was for social purposes. Furthermore, the sample used social networking sites for entertainment, social involvement, meeting new friends and maintaining relationships. The sample agreed that social networking makes information searching easier. The majority of the sample indicated that they were not registered on any NMMU Social Networking sites of the university or any faculty, department or unit social networking sites at the NMMU. However, it was clear that the majority of students was registered on social networking sites of some sort and would continue to use social networking and social media. The results from the study indicated that the mean value for the perceptions of social media in general were greater than that of the perceptions of NMMU social media in terms of usage. Likewise, the mean value for the perceptions of social networking in general was also greater than that of the perceptions of NMMU Social Networking for information exchange but the difference were very small. However, the mean value for the perceptions of NMMU Social Networking showed a greater mean value than that of the perceptions of social networking in general in terms of security. This means that respondents used social networking in general more than NMMU Social Networking. xv However, the respondents perceived NMMU Social Networking sites to be more secure than social networking sites in general. The results of this study could provide Higher Education Institutions in South Africa with the impetus to use social networks and social media to enhance students‟ learning experiences.

Abstract:
Criticism of media speech is one of the directions in media linguistics based on the assessment of the quality of speech activity in the mass media. Within the framework of this direction, several subdisciplines have already been formed, each of which has its own approaches to the development of problems of the norm and the assessment of compliance with it. The manual contains two sections. The first one is devoted to the praxiolinguistic criticism of media speech. It shows how the use of the axiological scale of speech behavior in the media "effectively — permissible (unsuccessful — unacceptable — prohibited)" can assess the quality of business, art and sports journalistic discourse. The second section explains how to assess conflict media and diagnose speech crimes in the media. In the course of working with the book, students are taught to separate professional and non—professional speech in the media, to assess the quality of language and speech in media texts, or rather, the quality of the selection of language tools and speech resources, correlating the result of journalistic activity with social, general cultural language and speech norms — appropriate, permissive, binding, prohibiting. The work with the manual is designed to form eco-speech competence in the media and contributes to the formation of speech media literacy.&#x0D; Meets the requirements of the federal state educational standards of higher education of the latest generation.&#x0D; For students of educational departments studying in the areas of "Journalism", "Advertising" and "Public Relations".

Full text
Abstract:
AbstractThis article explores the visual grammatical implications of contemporary digital photo manipulation. The rapid and broad distribution of photographs via social media is leading to the conventionalisation of new social practices in photography (Johannessen &amp; Boeriis, Visual Communication 20, 527–551, 2021), including the widespread use of image filters and other types of image manipulation. The smartphone camera has become a constantly available augmentation of our sensory motor apparatus and of our social environment (Blaagaard, Visual Communication 12, 359–374, 2013; Frosh, International Journal of Communication 9, 1607–1628, 2015; Han et al., 2017) and, consequently, manipulated photography is becoming an almost dialogical practice of expressing thoughts and emotions in real-time among individuals on a potentially very large scale (Boeriis, Discourse, Context &amp; Media 41, 28–40, 2021).From a point of departure in multimodal social semiotics (Hodge &amp; Kress, 1988; Kress &amp; van Leeuwen, Multimodal discourse: The modes and Media of Contemporary Communication. Hodder Arnold, 2001), this article explores how different visual meaning-making resources are involved in manipulating digital photographs. Kress and van Leeuwen’s visual grammar (2020) serves as a framework for the analysis and discussion of the options available for photo manipulation in digital software, both specialised for social media (e.g. Instagram or FaceApp) and for professional photography (e.g. Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom). Thus, the article unfolds the meaning-making of photo manipulations by relating different effects to the grammatical categories affected by different adjustments.

Full text
Abstract:
This research project examines the current state of the practice for disaster public communication, the distrust of government, the training available to public information officers, and the literature available to guide the design of effective public outreach messaging, especially for rapid on-set events. Growing distrust in government had led to lack of public confidence in public agency messaging during emergencies, yet public agency public information officers are using multiple pathways, including both traditional and social media resources, to try to reach impacted communities effectively. The introduction explains the development of wildfire events in the West and their context. A literature review displays the sociological and political research that guides the development of public outreach, warning and evacuation. The findings display the SCU Complex Fire and CZU Complex Fire of 2020 as case studies of outreach efforts during rapid onset wildfire events and explains techniques of data scraping that could enhance public messaging. The analysis categorizes a variety of best practices in disaster communications. The project concludes with a white paper outlining a pathway toward creating a cell phone app that would provide event, time and location specific information about a disaster event, using official sources and social media.

Full text
Abstract:
Social media creates new spaces for connecting people digitally and provides a forum for the exchange of information and discussion. Online spaces such as Facebook groups (FGs) have become part of the fabric of social interaction in many rural areas, with both residents and others living away from the community maintaining a connection in the virtual space. Community FGs are routinely used to share place-based information about resources, events or issues, and to discuss topics of shared interest. In research, these groups allow researchers to connect directly with people who have an interest in what happens within specific communities and offer rich opportunities for participants to likewise engage with research. We can reflect on how FGs in rural communities have the potential to enhance and/or complement existing approaches by making research with dispersed communities more accessible and affordable, while considering challenges around confidentiality and digital inclusion given the characteristics and size of the population. Social media has developed at pace during the last decade, and digital ethics is a shifting methods sub-field that poses challenges to social sciences and humanities researchers. Apart from platforms’ changing terms and conditions, research with and on social media groups has specific ethical challenges (e.g. around anonymity, confidentiality, and data access) that require tailored consideration. In particular, when approaching netnography and similar methods with social media groups, dialogic approaches which aim to engage, respect and protect participants are critical. There is consensus on the need to agree the access conditions with the group administrator as a first step, but there is no guidance on good practice on developing these conditions. To create these guidelines, we have worked collaboratively across disciplines and with administrators of Facebook groups to explore what such process could look like: aspects to address, pros and cons of potential approaches, and potential challenges and solutions.

Abstract:
Main objectives of the study. Women’s online media make up a significant part of the Ukrainian media market. There are online magazines, online newspapers, online sites of printed women’s publications on the Internet, and there are those resources that simply call themselves sites for women, but by all indications we can classify them as online media. The content of women’s mass media is mainly characterized by narrow thematic content, gender orientation, light and positive content. But on February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded the territory of Ukraine on a full scale, and the content of many Ukrainian women’s online media also underwent changes. The topic of war appeared in the content of online media for women. However, some women’s online media haven`t changed their content and main topics. The purpose of the study is to show how women’s online media publish war-related material on their pages. The set goal involves solving the following tasks: to find out how are women’s Ukrainian online media functioning in 2022-2023; select those whose pages contain materials about the war; to analyze military-themed publications in women’s online media. The subject of the research is materials related to the Russian-Ukrainian war in women’s online media (“Ukrainki”, “4 Mama”, “Wonder Ukraine”, “Clutch.ua”, “Divoche. Media”) for 2022-2023. The novelty of the study is that for the first time the content of women’s online media (“Ukrainki”, “4 Mama”, “Wonder Ukraine”, “Clutch.ua”, “Divoche. Media”) on the topic of the war for 2022-2023 was investigated. Findings. It was examined that the genre palette of materials is diverse, but informational materials still predominate. In terms of topics, the following prevail: social and everyday problems, psychological problems, volunteering, military, activities of showbiz stars during the war, migration (refugees), occupation, stories from life, news of events from the life of the country and the world. Keywords: women’s magazines, online media for women, Russian-Ukrainian war, content, topic.

Full text
Abstract:
Gen Z are reshaping the way financial advice is sought and acted upon. Moving away from traditional sources like family, banks, and financial advisors, younger generations are turning to social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where financial influencers —“finfluencers”— offer accessible, though often unregulated, advice. While this shift has democratized financial education, it has also introduced significant risks to advice-seekers, including misinformation, high-risk investment recommendations, and a lack of regulatory oversight. For Credit Unions, this transformation presents challenges and opportunities. Younger audiences often see traditional financial institutions such as banks as outdated, inaccessible, and misaligned with their values. However, Credit Unions, with their ethical foundations and community focus, are well- positioned to fill the trust gap created by the shortcomings of both traditional institutions and finfluencers. By engaging with young people where they seek advice – on social media – Credit Unions can offer relatable, trustworthy, and sound financial guidance that aligns with their mission to promote financial literacy and inclusivity. This white paper explores ways in which Credit Unions can respond to this shift in advice-seeking behaviour to revitalise and grow their memberships. Discussions with UK-based Credit Unions reveal cautious optimism about engaging in the finfluencer space, with several recognizing the potential to use social media platforms to amplify messages of fairness, community, and responsible financial management. However, barriers such as limited digital innovation capacity, regulatory concerns, and a general lack of awareness about the finfluencer phenomenon remain. To address these challenges, we propose a coordinated approach for Credit Unions to build capacity and credibility in the digital advice ecosystem. This includes developing sectoral guidelines for engaging responsibly with finfluencers, pooling resources to experiment with digital campaigns, creating a practical playbook for social media engagement, and modernizing product offerings to align with Gen Z’s preferences for fast, convenient, and values-driven services. By strategically entering the online advice ecosystem, Credit Unions can not only mitigate the risks of misinformation but also position themselves as a trusted alternative to both traditional institutions and unregulated finfluencers. This approach offers a pathway for Credit Unions to expand their membership, strengthen their community impact, and secure their relevance in an increasingly digital world.

Full text
Abstract:
The nascent work reviewed in this compendium indicates that married girls experience significant social isolation and limited autonomy. Across the studies examined, on indicators of mobility, exposure to media, and social networks, married girls are consistently disadvantaged compared to their unmarried peers. Similarly, across studies, on most of the domains explored here (mobility, decision-making, control over economic resources, and possibly gender-based violence), married girls tend to be less empowered and more isolated than slightly older married females. There may also be health issues associated with marriage during adolescence. Married girls are frequently at a disadvantage in terms of reproductive health information—particularly regarding STIs and HIV. First-time mothers, many of whom are adolescents, by virtue of their parity may have distinct maternal health needs and risks. Finally, early marriage potentially plays a role in exposing girls and young women to severe reproductive health risks, including HIV. Many of these elevated health risks may be largely, though not exclusively, derivative of their social vulnerability.

Abstract:
Whereas at the end of the 20th century there were still high expectations associated with the use of new media in terms of a democratisation of social discourse and new potential for citizens to participate in political decision-making, disillusionment is now spreading. Even today, the internet is often seen only as a technical tool for the transmission of information and communication, which serves as a structural supplement to "real" discourse and decision-making processes. In fact, however, the use of new media can open up additional, previously non-existent possibilities for well-founded and substantial citizen participation, especially at regional and supra-regional level. According to the results of this study, the informal, mediative procedures for conflict resolution in the context of high-risk planning decisions, which are now also increasingly used at the regional level, have two main problem areas. Firstly, in the conception and design chosen so far, they do not offer citizens direct access to the procedure. Citizens are given almost no opportunities to exert substantial influence on the content and procedure of the process, or on the solutions found in the process. So far, this has not been remedied by the use of new media. On the other hand, it is becoming apparent that the results negotiated in the procedure are not, or only inadequately, reflected in the subsequent sovereign decision. This means that not only valuable resources for identifying the problem situation and for integrative problem-solving remain unused, but it is also not possible to realise the effects anticipated with the participation procedures within the framework of context or reflexive self-management. With the aim of advancing the development of institutionally oriented approaches at the practice level, this study discusses potential solutions at the procedural level. This takes into account legal implications as well as the action logics, motives and intentions of the actors involved and aims to improve e-government structures. It becomes evident that opening up informal participation procedures for citizen participation at the regional level can only be realised through the (targeted) use of new media. However, this requires a fundamentally new approach not only in the participation procedures carried out but also, for example, in the conception of information or communication offerings. Opportunities for improving the use of the results obtained from the informal procedures in the (sovereign) decision-making process as well as the development of potentials in the sense of stronger self-control of social subsystems are identified in a stronger interlinking of informal and sovereign procedures. The prerequisite for this is not only the establishment of suitable structures, but above all the willingness of decision-makers to allow citizens to participate in decision-making, as well as the granting of participation opportunities and rights that go beyond those previously granted in sovereign procedures.
