Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
<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. Before undertaking a gender analysis, it is important to understand the concept of ‘gender’. 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’ 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. 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. The WDR highlights the importance of directly targeting the persistent constraints and obstacles to women’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. 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>

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." 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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

This study evaluates diverse educational resources to address the gaps in diagnostic radiology education for medical students, aiming to identify tools that enhance theoretical knowledge and practical diagnostic skills. Employing a multi-faceted review, we analyzed digital platforms, academic databases, and social media for resources beneficial to medical students in radiology, assessing their accessibility, content quality, and educational value. Our investigation uncovered a broad spectrum of resources, from foundational platforms to advanced simulation tools, varying in their approach to teaching radiology. Traditional resources provide essential theoretical knowledge, while digital tools, including interactive case studies and multimedia content, offer immersive learning experiences. Notably, resources integrating machine learning and social media facilitate dynamic, peer-to-peer learning and up-to-date case discussions. Despite the minimal current focus on VR, its role in enhancing interactive learning is notable. The diversity in educational tools highlights the evolving nature of radiology education, reflecting a shift towards more engaging and practical learning methodologies. Identifying and integrating a variety of educational resources into radiology education can significantly enhance learning outcomes for medical students, preparing them for the complexities of modern diagnostic radiology with a well-rounded educational approach.

Aim: To explore the most used Web 2.0 tools for health information during COVID-19, to identify the most used social media tool for health information during COVID-19 and to explore the type of health information explored on social networking sites Method: The present study specifically explored the librarians' approach to using social networking sites for the provision of information services. The present study measured librarians' use of social networking sites to provide health information quantitatively. For this purpose, a structured questionnaire was used to survey librarians of university libraries in Punjab.` Results: The results of the study validated that information professionals are keen and active in using social media for seeking out health information and also rely on more personal networks like WhatsApp. They searched for COVID-19-related information mostly other than fetching out general information. For this reason, we mostly relied on discussion groups, not random information-seeking. This shows their level of committed indulgence in these social media platforms, and they used their information literacy skills to seek health information. Conclusion: University librarians are an essential and vital element of any university, and they should be investigated in order to improve their services and resources to meet the demands of their users and researchers. Keywords: Health Information Seeking; Health resources, Social Networking Site; Covid-19

The object of the study is the decision-making modeling in the context of medical social media to increase the clinics’ effectiveness. The problem is to classify the patient reviews collected in the patient-clinic segment of the medical social media and to identify the situation related to the clinics’ activity by revealing the criteria characterizing the clinics’ activity out of the opinions. The proposed technique refers to lexicon-based sentiment analysis of opinions, the classification based on Valence Aware Dictionary and Sentiment Reasoner (VADER), the verification of the results accuracy with Multinomial Naive Bayes and Support Vector Machine, the manual sentiment analysis of opinions to detect criteria and the classification of opinions according to each criterion. Using this technique, out of 442587 patient reviews obtained from database cms_hospital_satisfaction_2020 of the Kaggle company generated on the basis of crowdsourcing of patient reviews on medical social media, 218914 patient reviews are classified as positive, 190360 – as neutral, and 33313 – as negative. The results accuracy is verified, and the clinics are rated by the «positive» opinions. 6 new criteria characterizing the clinics’ activity are discovered, and the identification of the situation related to the clinics’ activity based on the comparison of «positive» and «negative» opinions according to each criterion is presented. The possibility of using the results obtained from the identification to increase the clinics’ efficiency in making decisions is shown. The results obtained in this study can be used to improve the clinics’ performance according to public opinion. This opportunity involves the crowdsourcing of opinions about the clinic in the medical social media environment and the collection of opinions in a structured way.

Social media analysis is widely used in economics, sociology, in medical studies of spreading infectious diseases and in forensic science to stop terrorist networks and drug proliferation. Social media analysis is also used in political sphere. Opinion leaders are increasingly participating in social media. The Internet is a reflection of the real world, it has the same laws as in real society. The ruling elite controls the media and social media as well as it controls the means of production. The article addresses the role of social networks in the foreign and military policies of states and other actors. The spread of leadership networks is at its early state. The potential of this Internet resource format is enormous. There is every reason to assume that economic crisis makes such resources even more popular. During economic crisis many people are left alone with their problems by their government and they are even more motivated to social cooperation and mutual assistance in social networks to receive valuable information, attention and support from the outside.

SummaryBackground: An increasing amount of health education resources for patients and professionals are distributed via social media channels. For example, thousands of health education videos are disseminated via You-Tube. Often, tags are assigned by the disseminator. However, the lack of use of standardized terminologies in those tags and the presence of misleading videos make it particularly hard to retrieve relevant videos.Objectives: i) Identify the use of standardized medical thesauri (SNOMED CT) in You-Tube Health videos tags from preselected YouTube Channels and demonstrate an information technology (IT) architecture for treating the tags of these health (video) resources. ii) Investigate the relative percentage of the tags used that relate to SNOMED CT terms. As such resources may play a key role in educating professionals and patients, the use of standardized vocabularies may facilitate the sharing of such resources. iii) Demonstrate how such resources may be properly exploited within the new generation of semantically enriched content or learning management systems that allow for knowledge expansion through the use of linked medical data and numerous literature resources also described through the same vocabularies.Methods: We implemented a video portal integrating videos from 500 US Hospital channels. The portal integrated 4,307 YouTube videos regarding surgery as described by 64,367 tags. BioPortal REST services were used within our portal to match SNOMED CT terms with YouTube tags by both exact match and non-exact match. The whole architecture was complemented with a mechanism to enrich the retrieved video resources with other educational material residing in other repositories by following contemporary semantic web advances, in the form of Linked Open Data (LOD) principles.Results: The average percentage of YouTube tags that were expressed using SNOMED CT terms was about 22.5%, while one third of YouTube tags per video contained a SNOMED CT term in a loose search; this analogy became one tenth in the case of exact match. Retrieved videos were then linked further to other resources by using LOD compliant systems. Such results were exemplified in the case of systems and technologies used in the mEducator EC funded project.Conclusion: YouTube Health videos can be searched for and retrieved using SNOMED CT terms with a high possibility of identifying health videos that users want based on their search criteria. Despite the fact that tagging of this information with SNOMED CT terms may vary, its availability and linked data capacity opens the door to new studies for personalized retrieval of content and linking with other knowledge through linked medical data and semantic advances in (learning) content management systems.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction/Innovation Concept: Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) is an emerging movement enabling crowdsourced sharing of vast amounts of medical knowledge on the web, especially in the dynamic field of emergency medicine (EM). However, the wide range of FOAM producers and the lack of organization in published FOAM content results in a challenge for learners to find quality resources that meet their educational needs. ILearnEM addresses this by curating content from popular FOAM sites to provide both new and seasoned learners with an organized, topic-structured EM curriculum. Methods: The resources on ILearnEM.com are drawn from the top 50 scoring websites on the Social Media Index (SMI), an indirect measure of quality and impact for online educational resources. The quality of each individual resource is reviewed by our curators using published Quality Checklists developed specifically for FOAM. Links to the original resources are systematically organized into core EM topics and separated into “Approach to” and “Beyond the Basics” categories. Curriculum, Tool, or Material: Since its launch in February 2016, ILearnEM.com has been distributed to the University of Ottawa medical students and residents, the Canadian CCFP-EM program directors, and through social media. Content on the website is updated every two weeks by our curators through an analysis of recent online publications from each of the top 50 SMI sites. The new resources are selected based on the level of quality and the relevance to the fundamentals of EM. Content updates are announced on social media (Twitter) to further engage learners by identifying the availability of new material. Conclusion: Based on a 10-month traffic analysis, 4234 unique visitors visited ILearnEM.com with an average of 1.9 visits/person and 10.4 pages/visit. Of those responding to an online survey (n=138, response rate=3.3%) visitors were 42.8% (n=59) residents, 29.0% medical students (n=40), 19.6% practicing physicians (n=27), and 8.7% other healthcare professionals (n=12). As one of few sites with an objective for a learner-oriented approach to curating content, ILearnEM will continue to be updated regularly based on user feedback to benefit the fast growing consumer base of medical student and resident learners.

This investigation concentrates on the opportunities and challenges confronted by social work intervention in the hawker economy. Concerning research background, small traders, who represent a crucial section of the hawker economy, encounter volatility in the economic milieu and insufficient social assistance. The study aims to comprehend the function and efficiency of social work in the area of vending in order to provide targeted policy recommendations and perspectives. To examine the feasibility of social work intervention, this study employed social network theory elaboration and a literature review. The study observed that social work intervention not only offers economic support, skills training and social networking opportunities to small traders but also enables their personal growth and social integration. Nonetheless, this study discovered resource, policy and cultural limitations that impede the effective professional intervention of social work. In summary, social work plays a crucial role in the growth of the hawker economy; nevertheless, there is an ongoing requirement to boost policy support and invest more in human and material resources to uphold development and amplify its social impact.

Full textAbstract:
Objective – To investigate academic staff’s use and creation of social media for work-related purposes as well as analyze how this influences consumption of traditional scholarly resources. 
 
 Design – A 60 question survey instrument in questionnaire format (instrument appended to the article).
 
 Setting – Six universities in the United Kingdom.
 
 Subjects – Respondents include 2,117 academic staff or faculty.
 
 Methods – In 2011, the authors sent a 60 question survey to 6 universities in the United Kingdom. Library directors were asked to send out the survey to their university’s academic staff, and 12,600 invitations were sent out. An application to the Institutional Review Board was also implemented and approved as long as the respondents could exit the survey at any time. There were 2,117 respondents with a maximum of 1,078 respondents to the questions regarding social media. 
 
 Questions included in the survey asked the frequency of use of traditional scholarly resources with a focus on reading articles and books. Respondents were also asked to answer questions regarding how they accessed resources and how they used what they were reading. They were asked to provide information regarding accessing other publications such as conference proceedings, government documents, and magazines or trade journals. The authors also recorded demographic information such as respondent’s field of study, position within the university, age, and gender. Following questions regarding use of traditional resources and demographics, respondents were asked to answer questions regarding social media use and creation for work-related purposes. 
 
 Main Results – The authors asked respondents how much traditional scholarly reading they did in the last month. With regard to traditional scholarly reading activity, the authors found that academic staff in the United Kingdom read about 22 articles, with medical and health sciences field consuming the most articles and social scientists consuming the least. Book and book chapter reading is more prevalent in the humanities discipline as they, on average, read about 20 books or book chapters. The average across disciplines is seven books or book chapters, with the medical and health sciences academic staff reading the least. “Other publications” were also accounted for such as government documents, trade journals, and conference proceedings, and on average, academics read about 11 in the last month. After data was collected, authors excluded outliers over three standard deviations from the mean to assure a more representative average.
 
 Respondents were asked how often they use social media such as blogs, online videos, RSS feeds, Twitter, user comments in online articles, podcasts, and other. The authors found that academics in the United Kingdom use social media occasionally, but not on a regular basis. They also found that social media is less likely to be created than used. Occasional use is recorded by half of the respondents who use only two of the resources listed in the survey. Only 5% of the respondents said they use all of the social media tools listed. Over half of the respondents said they do not “create” social media tools for work. Participation and use of the tools is much more prevalent according to the results of this survey. 
 
 Regarding demographic responses recorded, those who are in the humanities and medical and health sciences use more blogs for their work, and those in the medical and health sciences also participate most in user comments in articles. Younger respondents (under 30-40 years of age) use more social media tools such as blogs, RSS feeds, and Twitter. Those who are actively teaching tend to use social media more frequently and while they do not create tools more frequently than others, they do create the most online videos out of any of the tools mentioned. There was no significant association between use of social media and the respondent’s position, gender, or the number of awards earned. Respondents who “tweet” or use Twitter consume the most amount of scholarly material. Overall, the authors found that those who participate in social media also consume a significant amount of traditional scholarly content. 
 
 Conclusion – The authors conclude that while most academics in the United Kingdom participate in use of social media for work-related purposes, the results show that usage is not as frequent as expected. Creation of these tools is even less frequent, although the survey did show that academics who consume traditional scholarly resources tend to also consume social media more frequently. The use of social media is also not replacing traditional scholarly resources, but instead they are used alongside as part of the vast amount of information sources available to scholars. Publishers and others who are tasked with creation of scholarly content should consider the addition of social media tools into products. The article also implies that when academics can easily access both traditional and social media tools and use them in conjunction, the use of social media tools in academia will grow.

The article explores the use of social media in Russian non-governmental non-profit organizations. The role of social media as a PR and promotion tool and as a tool for attracting financial resources is considered. Based on the secondary data of the All-Russian representative survey of NGO leaders conducted by the Centre for Studies of Civil Society and the Nonprofit Sector, HSE (sample consists of 850 NGOs, face-to-face interviews were conducted in year 2021), hypotheses about the influence of organizational characteristics on the use of social media are tested using binary logistic regression. According to the results of the analysis, social media is the most popular online communication channel of NGOs in Russia, although a relatively small proportion of organizations practice fundraising on social networks, despite the fact that NGO leaders highly evaluate the effectiveness of this tool for raising funds. The use of social media is positively associated with the organizational pursuit of the information openness and accountability; troubled access to traditional media; social orientation; participation in government grants; and the size of the organization. The positive relationship between the size of the organization and the use of social media suggests that resource factors, such as the lack of qualified personnel to manage the accounts of the organization, may be a barrier to the use of social media. Overall, there is no obvious connection with the need to attract financial resources, neither the focus on private donations, nor the tendence to diversify sources of funding.

Social media has revolutionized means and modes of communication and has created a new information culture. As such social media has to be integrated in promoting library services and resources of the university libraries. An attempt to explore the usage of social media by university libraries was undertaken. The objectives of the study were to explore social networking tool usage in libraries with special reference to Facebook, to investigate the academic librarians’ attitudes towards the usefulness of Facebook as a social media networking tool, and to explore the problems/ issues related to using Facebook as a library promotional tool. This study was designed using quantitative research methodology. The data collection methods were postal questionnaire and observations. All 19 national university librarians were taken as study population. Facebook Pages belongs two libraries were observed under the following criteria: date of establishment, number of fans, basic information of the respective library they share, promoting the library services, important web links given etc. The response rate of 94.7% overall may be considered sufficient to allow valid conclusions to be drawn. 66.7% of the librarians were in the opinion that using a Facebook page in promoting library resources and services is important and another 33.3% said it is very important. Only 16.7% of the libraries own a Facebook Page for libraries, and rest of the libraries (83.3%) do not own such a page.

Abstract. The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed both national and organizational vulnerabilities to infectious diseases and has impacted, with devastating effects, many business sectors. Authors have identified an urgent need to effectively plan for future threats, by exploiting emerging technologies to forecast, predict and anticipate action at the strategic, operational and local level thus strengthening the capacity of national and international responders. In order to do this, we need an approach to increase awareness of actors involved. The purpose of this study is to investigate how improved medical intelligence, harvesting from big data available from social media, scientific literature and other resources such as local press, can improve situational awareness to take more informed decision in the context of safeguarding and protecting populations from medical threats. This paper focuses on the exploitation of large unstructured data available from microblogging service Twitter for mapping and analytics of health and sentiment situation. Authors tested an explainable artificial intelligence (AI) supported medical intelligence tool on a scenario of a megacity by processing and visualizing tweets on a GIS map. Results indicate that explainable AI provides a promising solution for measuring and tracking the evolution of disease to provide health, sentiment and emotion situational awareness.

Full textAbstract:
Research has shown that middle and high school students, historically, have had a less than favorable opinion of social studies instruction (Hobbs & Moroz, 2001), a situation widely attributed to teacher reliance on textbooks, lectures, and worksheets (Protano, 2003). Today, this problem is exacerbated as teachers are faced with students from a Media Generation who have grown up with “cell phones that have grown to include video game platforms, e-mail devices, digital cameras, and Internet connections” (Rideout, Roberts, & Foehr, 2005, p. 4). Recent studies, however, have found that student attitudes toward, and interest in, social studies can be greatly influenced by knowledgeable, passionate teachers who include them as active participants in the learning process through lively discussions and thought provoking activities (Alazzi, 2007; Chiodo & Byford, 2004). Teachers can further enhance this instruction by using the Internet to connect students to a wealth of authentic print, audio, and video resources (McGlinn, 2007). For students of the Media Generation, effective social studies teachers are those who foster inquiring minds and employ the tools that allow history to come to life in their classrooms.

Full textAbstract:
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 outbreak has had a significant impact on global health, the economy, and society as a whole. Various measures are being taken to respond to the pandemic, with digital media playing a pivotal role, especially in the use of visual data to disseminate information, mobile health to coordinate medical resources, social media to promote public health campaigns, and digital tools to assist population management and disease tracing. However, digital media also faces some challenges like misinformation, lack of guidance, and information leakage. We encourage the increased use of digital media with a focus on improving trust, building social solidarity, reducing chaos, educating the public on prevention measures, and reducing the medical burden in facility-based sites.

Introduction: In recent years, the internet and social media have become the primary source for patients to research their medical conditions. Given the billions of links that result from research, it has become increasingly important how medically high quality the priorities of the search algorithms are. This study aims to examine the medical quality of videos on social media. Material and Method: A new Gmail account was never used, and Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube accounts were opened. The word “knee replacement” was searched via social media. The video duration, daily views, total views, number of likes, source, and shared content were recorded. The parameters were statistically evaluated using the scales JAMA, GQS, DISCERN, and VPI to measure the quality of the medical posts. Results: Correlations were found between JAMA, GQS, and DISCERN. No correlation between the VPI scales with other scales was found. It was found that the promotional content in videos other than Instagram was very high (56–70%). Academics and healthcare workers produced greater quality content than other groups. There is a clear dominance of healthcare practitioners on Instagram. The most shared content was informative, depending on the content. The most frequent users were alternative health practitioners. While YouTube had the highest JAMA, GQC, and DISCERN (2.98, 3.18, 37.5) scores, the lowest VPI (0.761) score was found. Discussion and Conclusions: It has been shown that Instagram and Twitter are not the right places to share videos with medical content. However, everyone should remember that Instagram is the best place to share short but popular videos. YouTube and Facebook are available resources to share videos of better medical quality with a higher score than others. We can say that the most reliable medical sources are Facebook and YouTube videos of physicians and medical staff.

The Internet offers a wide array of resources for social studies teachers. Digital interactives, in particular, offer promise. They combine images, sounds, videos, and animation and are organized around specific themes or historical subjects. Verizon’s Thinkfinity and the Public Broadcasting Service’s Learning Media websites are two leading collections of this style of resource. With an efficient search and thoughtful planning, teachers can use digital interactives to create more engaging and exciting learning experiences for their students. This article proposes a four-step model that can be used to assist teachers in finding these resources and integrating them into social studies lessons. The model invites teachers to determine curricular needs, search the digital landscape, establish entry points, then build the digital interactive-enhanced lesson.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the multifaceted impacts of hierarchical systems and social networking on social differentiation, network formation, and individual well-being. Employing a comprehensive literature review and meta-analysis, it explores the dynamics of power and status within organizations, the influence of social resources on socioeconomic status, and the role of social networking sites in shaping social capital and psychological health. The research investigates how hierarchical structures within organizations and informal social settings contribute to social differentiation, examining the effects of power, status, and social resources on individual and group dynamics. Additionally, it assesses the impact of social networking sites on social well-being, career development, and psychological health, considering both the positive and negative consequences of online social interactions. The study reveals that while hierarchical systems and social networking can foster social capital, professional growth, and enhanced well-being, they also pose risks of social inequality, psychological distress, and exacerbated mental health issues. The findings underscore the complexity of social relations in the digital age, offering insights for developing more inclusive social structures and healthier digital interaction spaces. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between social hierarchies, networking, and well-being, providing valuable implications for organizational leaders, policymakers, and individuals navigating social differentiation and digital socialization.

Introduction: The Internet has become a common resource for patients seeking information on medical conditions, including aesthetic surgeries. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate, by means of a questionnaire, the opinion of patients candidates or already submitted to rhinoplasty regarding what they would like to see in the social networks of nose plastic surgeons. Materials and Methods: The questionnaire was applied to 50 patients candidates for nasal plastic surgery. Results: It was found that 96% of the sample used some kind of social network. But only 4% used social networks to choose their surgeon. It was observed the desire of the vast majority of patients to see more informative posts on medical social networks, and the influence that photographs of surgical results have on the choice of their surgeon. Conclusion: Knowledge about the interests of patients is of fundamental importance in suggesting what plastic nose surgeons should consider publishing, and also what should be avoided in their social media marketing, to attract clients.

Full textAbstract:
Social media and social networks are integral components of our daily personal, professional, and community lives with Facebook, Friendster, and Twitter alone having > 750,000,000 registered users worldwide. All types of communication modalities are utilized in disasters for a variety of purposes. Experience with Exercise 24 and the Haiti Earthquake and public health response amplify both the power of social media and social networks and the need to research, understand, refine, and train in their utilization in disaster management. A Haiti Epidemic Advisory System was established to provide a mechanism for care providers to report health status in camps and treatment centers, exchange technical and logistical information, provide reach-back services such as GIS mapping and data shepherding, and provide a platform for emotional support. This information was incorporated into additional platforms including Haiti User Defined Operational Picture (UDOP) and Haiti Medical/Public Health Information Sharing Enterprise (MPHISE). Successes in the systems were seen in the early warning provided for cholera and social stress, the ability to link on-the-ground resources with local, national, and international assets, and the ability to inform policy makers through real-time reporting and advanced visualization. Many challenges were highlighted that deserve future study. These include: (1) how to manage the extreme volume of data flow including rating, ranking, filtering, and archiving; (2) how to effectively use social media and networks for response; (3) how to provide visualization in temporal and geospatial terms; and (4) how integrate social media with traditional media and official communications in an effective risk communication matrix.

Background Social media platforms provide an easily accessible and time-saving communication approach for individuals with mental disorders compared to face-to-face meetings with medical providers. Recently, machine learning (ML)-based mental health exploration using large-scale social media data has attracted significant attention. Objective We aimed to provide a bibliometric analysis and discussion on research trends of ML for mental health in social media. Methods Publications addressing social media and ML in the field of mental health were retrieved from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. We analyzed the publication distribution to measure productivity on sources, countries, institutions, authors, and research subjects, and visualized the trends in this field using a keyword co-occurrence network. The research methodologies of previous studies with high citations are also thoroughly described. Results We obtained a total of 565 relevant papers published from 2015 to 2020. In the last 5 years, the number of publications has demonstrated continuous growth with Lecture Notes in Computer Science and Journal of Medical Internet Research as the two most productive sources based on Scopus and Web of Science records. In addition, notable methodological approaches with data resources presented in high-ranking publications were investigated. Conclusions The results of this study highlight continuous growth in this research area. Moreover, we retrieved three main discussion points from a comprehensive overview of highly cited publications that provide new in-depth directions for both researchers and practitioners.

Full textAbstract:
139 Background: While the popularity of social media has grown as a source of healthcare news, studies have shown that one third of social media posts contain misinformation with 76.9% of them containing harmful information leading to adverse outcomes. As a result, MedNews Week (MNW), a digital platform dedicated to combating misinformation, was developed to contribute to global oncology education through its free programming. In its first year, MNW has connected 193,000 live viewers from 57 countries with opportunities to learn from and engage live with oncology’s global leaders during their Keynote Lectures. The goal of this study was to assess whether Twitter Impressions, LinkedIn Impressions and Speaker H-Index significantly predicted the number of live attendees at Keynote Lectures as a marker for the utilization of medical information resources by a global network of patients and patient advocates. Methods: In 2022, MNW hosted 32 distinguished physician-researchers as Keynote Speakers for live streamed virtual lectures of which 25 spoke on oncology topics. Twitter and LinkedIn promotional posts for each Keynote Lecture began one week before every event and the number of impressions were collected. The number of virtual attendees at each live lecture and speaker h-index (a common metric of scholarly impact) were recorded for each lecturer for statistical testing. Multiple linear regression was performed using R. Results: Results showed that the overall regression was statistically significant (R2 = 0.9977, F(3, 18) = 2650, p-value < 0.001). Twitter and LinkedIn Impressions significantly predicted the number of live attendees at Keynote Lectures (p-value < 0.001). However, the speaker H-index did not significantly predict the number of live Keynote attendees (p-value = 0.258 > 0.05). Conclusions: There is very strong evidence to support social media engagement as a predictor of health resource utilization as evident by Keynote Lecture attendance. However, a speaker’s H-index was not found to be a good predictor of health resource utilization by patients and patient advocates. The results of this analysis highlight the importance of traditional resources of medical knowledge adapting to the current digital climate, as platforms like MNW and COSMO demonstrate the growing impact of social media as an outlet for patient education and outreach – particularly in underserved regions globally.[Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
The growth of social media as instant interactive platforms for students has significantly affected medical education practices. Despite its reported disadvantages for student learning, the rapid development of social media warrants an examination of its relevance and potential as a learning tool for medical students. This study thus explored the use of social media by medical students and its potential for supporting their learning. This cross-sectional study adopted a descriptive approach. Preclinical and clinical-year medical students from 43 medical schools in Indonesia completed a questionnaire inquiring into social media use by individuals and their reasons for such use. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyse the data. The analysis of the data retrieved from 1,122 respondents revealed the most common social media platforms used by medical students and various usage purposes. Further, this study revealed that social media assists students in learning through three processes: (a) it increases communication, collaboration and resource sharing, which enables flexible and timely access to a broad range of information; (b) it enhances learning motivation by facilitating engagement with role models and motivating content; and (c) it supports personal and learning skills development. Medical students reported using a variety of social media platforms, but few did so with the aim of supporting their learning. However, social media can potentially assist student learning through its capacity to increase collaboration and flexibility, enhance motivation and support personal and professional development. Therefore, creating socialmedia-based learning strategies that are appropriate and meet students’ learning needs could help students improve both personally and professionally.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Social media is a powerful tool in the armamentarium of the modern-day physician, advancing education, research, and advocacy in neurosurgery. The African continent bears a considerable neurosurgical disease burden yet lacks the requisite human resources. Comprehensive analyses of social media strategies and their impacts on neurosurgical practices and interest groups in Africa are scarce. The Association of Future African Neurosurgeons (AFAN), an African neurosurgery interest group, assessed how its social media platforms have influenced neurosurgery interest among aspiring African neurosurgeons. Methods: This social media analysis involved collecting and examining data on the types of publications, impressions, and reach from the Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube channels of AFAN from 31 December 2019 through 11 September 2020. Descriptive statistics were produced, and both the Kruskal-Wallis test and Spearman’s correlation were applied, with P values <0.05 considered statistically significant. Results: Facebook, with 7002 followers, was the most popular platform, followed by Twitter (409 followers) and YouTube (199 subscribers). The primary audience consisted of sub-Saharan Africans, predominantly males aged 25 to 34 years, who mostly accessed the platforms via mobile phones. Photos and links led to more engagement across all post types, with the highest access occurring over the weekend (P<0.001). Conclusions: AFAN’s social media activities have effectively impacted aspiring African neurosurgeons, thanks to a strategic approach informed by analytics on social media visibility and engagement.

As the world progresses towards digitalized platforms for ease of access, social media is getting more popular amidst the younger generations, causing marketers to quickly adapt to the social networking space to be able to interact with customers.
 India is one of the world’s fastest growing economies, with startups contributing approximately 4-5% to the nation’s gdp. The metropolitan city of bangalore serves as a hub for many up-and-coming startups and small businesses. Networking is crucial for small businesses, as word-of-mouth referrals can boost sales. Social media marketing is a cost-effective way to reach a broader audience and engage with customers. Additionally, traditional advertising channels such as billboards, flyers, and newspaper ads can still be effective in certain regions.
 In order to stand out in a saturated market such as ours, it is essential to strategize and create a marketing campaign that taps into the resources offered by interactive social media platforms the likes of instagram, facebook and many others.
 Through social media, big business can do better and small business can become better known without putting much investment on advertising. This study aims to provide insight into the seemingly vast marketing tool often underestimated by many – instagram’s algorithm.

This study aims to examine the governance of extractive resources by the state as an axis of development at the national and subnational levels. This study focuses on Indonesia and Bojonegoro Regency as the main unit of analysis. Using the method of historical sociology, this article argues that the institutional capacity of the state in the governance of extractive resources, particularly oil, depends on the extent to which the mechanisms of autonomy and distribution of state power are reorganized to achieve developmental transformation. The combination of historical evidence not only adds to the theoretical understanding of state social power but also contributes to development theory by adding a historical dimension. As a country with abundant natural resources, Indonesia has faced challenges in the governance of extractive resources since colonial times. The abundance of natural resources is not always linear with development outcomes in each period of governance. Indonesia has seventeen oil and gas-producing provinces. However, the resource curse still applies in eight provinces where the number of poor people is higher than the national average. The governance of Indonesia's extractive industries is no longer monopolized by the national government but involves subnational governments. Politically, many local governments have complained that the process of calculating, distributing and reporting oil and gas revenue-sharing funds often creates tensions between central and local governments. Synergies between the state and civil society in the governance of extractive resources are needed to accelerate development transformation. Historical experience shows that the limited distributive power of civil society in extractive resource governance hinders the process of accelerating development transformation in Indonesia.

Современная эпидемически нестабильная обстановка снижает чувство безопасности и защищенности каждого человека, а ситуация угрозы жизни становится все более привычной в мирной жизни. В этот социальный период увеличивается риск эмоционального истощения и снижения профессиональной активности медицинских работников. Значимость решения данной проблемы связана еще и с тем, что синдром эмоционального выгорания имеет сложную форму и трактуется неоднородно с точки зрения первопричин и конечного исхода.Статья посвящена изучению личностных ресурсов преодоления профессионального выгорания у медицинских работников в период пандемии COVID-19. Выявлены фазы и особенности профессионального выгорания у медицинских работников в период пандемии. Установлено, что умеренно выраженные показатели жизнестойкости могут выступать личностным ресурсом и фактором преодоления профессионального выгорания. Доказано, что врачи, обладающие жизнестойкостью как одним из личностных ресурсов, отличаются качествами, которые помогают адаптироваться и выстоять в сложных социальных ситуациях. During the period of an epidemiologically unstable situation in the world, the risk of emotional exhaustion and a decrease in the professional activity among medical workers increases. The relevance and social significance of solving this problem is due to the fact that the burnout syndrome has a complex form and is interpreted heterogeneously from the point of view of root causes and final outcome. In this turn, it is necessary to find out some psychological means and methods. The purpose of the article is to explore a personal resource of overcoming a professional burnout by medical workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has been proven that doctors who possess resilience as one of the personal resources are distinguished by personal qualities that can help to adapt and withstand difficult social situations. The personal resources to overcome the professional burnout by health workers are characterized such categories as dominance, expressiveness, high standard behavior, courage, practicality, diplomacy, nonconformism, high self-control and tension. The health workers sown in this sample are autonomous, independent, firm and resilient. Intransigence, independence and a certain amount of stubbornness can be personal resources to overcome professional burnout, as it reflects the active and independent position by employees. The features of professional burnout by medical workers during a pandemic have been identified. It is found, that a high level of resilience in the structure of personal resources is a factor in overcoming professional burnout among doctors.

This research aims to investigate how and when social media (SM) influences the performance of medical tourism (MT) service providers. Using the Resource-Based View (RBV) approach it investigates the impact of social resources on the performance of (MT) companies, while integrating social customer relationship management (SCRM) capabilities as a mediating variable, especially under turbulent market conditions. Particularly, it is a question to identify the underlying mechanisms and conditions that link the use of such platforms to the marketing and financial outcomes in the medical tourism (MT) sector, focusing on two different types of activities: clinics and tour operators. To test the theoretical model, the st udy used Structural Equation Modelling with Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM). Data were collected via an online survey involving 133 participants, representing 66 clinics and 67 tour operators. Choosing these actors is due to their crucial role in the (MT) sector. Clinics deliver essential medical treatments at the heart of the service offering, while tour operators play a decisive role as intermediaries between tourist-patients and healthcare providers. The findings indicate a positive effect of SM use on the performance of medical tourism service providers particularly in terms of marketing performance. On the other hand, the results showed while (SCRM) capabilities did not have any mediate this relationship, market turbulence was identified as a significant moderating factor. A multi-group analysis (PLS-MGA) revealed significant differences between clinics and tour operators, particularly regarding the integration of SCRM capabilities and the influence of market turbulenc e. Tour operators are more likely to integrate SCRM capabilities into their social media strategies, allowing them to enhance their overall performance. Regarding clinics, they demonstrate greater responsiveness to the moderating impact of market turbulence. This study highlights the importance of examining the impact of social media from a business perspective. The comparison between clinics and tour operators opens avenues for cross-sector research. For managers in the medical tourism sector, refining SM and SCRM strategies can enhance marketing performance, with tailored approaches needed in unstable market conditions.

<strong><em>Abstract</em></strong> <em>In this digital era, social media has become an essential part of human life. In the modern world, it is as vital as basic necessities like food and shelter. Young people extensively use social media to share entertainment, academic information, and stay connected with friends and family. However, the pervasive nature of social media raises significant questions about its necessity versus its potential for addiction, akin to substances like alcohol and drugs. Today, many youths find themselves addicted to various forms of social media, often leading to detrimental effects on their mental health and well-being. This addiction can result in decreased productivity, anxiety, and a distorted sense of reality, as individuals may prioritize online interactions over real-life relationships.</em> <em>Despite these challenges, social media also holds immense potential for positive impact. It can be a powerful tool for helping those in need within society. For instance, young people with disabilities can leverage social media platforms to connect with support groups, access resources, and share their experiences. By fostering a sense of community, social media can empower these individuals to face life's challenges more confidently and advocate for their rights. Ultimately, it is crucial to strike a balance between the benefits and drawbacks of social media, ensuring it serves as a force for good in our lives.</em>

This study aims to assess the relationship between service value (SV), interactive value (IV), customer experience (CX), customer engagement (CE), and customer loyalty (CL) in the context of social media (SM) for domestic retail bank customers in Malaysia. The value-attitude-behavior model was used as the theoretical framework. To test this hypothesis, a partial least square structural equation model was used to analyze data from 181 active customers of domestic retail banks’ SM platforms. The results of the analysis indicate that CX and CE have a direct effect on CL. The study also found that CX and CE mediate the relationship between IV and CL, as well as SV and CL. The results highlight the importance of using SM platforms for value creation beyond just social interaction and the significance of IV, CX, and CE in digital platforms. Results also suggest that additional resources should be allocated to manage activities on these platforms to ensure that bank personnel can effectively design their SM strategies.
