In the last few years, a new type of synchronous social networking services (SNSs) has emerged—social live streaming (SLSSs). Studying SLSSs is and exciting research field in information science. What behaviors do users platforms exhibit? our empirical study we analyzed production behavior (i.e., broadcasting) as well reception (watching streams commenting on them). We conducted two quantitative investigations, namely an online survey with YouNow (N = 123) observations 434). service video...

Although fake news has been present in human history at any time, nowadays, with social media, deceptive information a stronger effect on society than before. This article answers two research questions, namely (1) Is the dissemination of supported by machines through automatic con...

Informational cities are prototypical of the knowledge society. If they informational world cities, new centers power. According to Manuel Castells (1989), in those space flows (flows money, power, and information) tend override places. Information communication technology infrastructures, cognitive infrastructures (as groundwork creative cities), city-level management great importance. Digital libraries provide access global explicit knowledge. The city consists clusters spaces for personal...

Social media platforms are increasingly being used by governments to foster user interaction. Particularly in cities with enhanced ICT infrastructures (i.e., Informational World Cities) and high internet penetration rates, social valuable tools for reaching numbers of citizens. This empirical investigation 31 Cities will provide an overview services governmental purposes, their popularity among governments, usage intensity broadcasting information online.

Records of 487 patients in long-term follow-up after Ro resection colorectal carcinomas between January 1, 1980 and December 31, 1989 were analyzed. Every patient underwent regular examinations according to a defined schedule curative carcinoma. The date evaluation was June 1991. During median observation time 48 months (range, 15-132 months), tumor recurrence observed 149 (30.6 percent), with 56.4 percent these suffering from tumor-associated symptoms. As the primary manifestation...

Informational Cities are the prototypical spaces of knowledge society. Public libraries play an important role as parts digital, smart, and creative infrastructures these Cities. Libraries have economic value location factors in two Cities, physical digital. For this reason, we divided library services into main groups, namely digital library. 31 specified World empirically analyzed core their public via content analysis libraries' Web pages. Additionally, studied social media activities....

Abstract The goal of the scientometric analysis presented in this article was to investigate international and regional (i.e., German‐language) periodicals field library information science (LIS). This done by means a citation reader survey. For analysis, impact factor, citing half‐life, number references per article, rate self‐references periodical were used as indicators. In addition, leading LIS mapped. 40 periodicals, data collected from ISI's Social Sciences Citation Index Journal...

The surgical management of large defects the Achilles tendon and overlying skin is very demanding necessitates, as a rule, free vascularized graft. ideal characteristics thin layer strong component, combined with reliable blood supply minimal morbidity at donor site, have only been partially met by all previous grafts used in this situation. authors performed reconstructions five patients using perforator flap derived from tensor fasciae latae flap. A skin-subcutis-fascia lata could be...

Abstract In Web 2.0 services “prosumers” ‐ producers and consumers collaborate not only for the purpose of creating content, but to index these pieces information as well. Folksonomies permit actors describe documents with subject headings, “tags“, without regarding any rules. Apart from a lot benefits folksonomies have many shortcomings (e.g., lack precision). order solve some problems we propose interpreting tags natural language terms. Accordingly, can introduce methods NLP tags'...

Abstract Some documents provoke emotions in people viewing them. Will it be possible to describe consistently and use this information retrieval systems? We tested collective (statistically aggregated) emotion indexing using images as examples. Considering psychological results, basic are anger , disgust fear happiness sadness . This study follows an approach developed by Lee Neal (2007) for music applies scroll bars tagging their intensities. A sample comprising 763 persons tagged caused...

Abstract Concept‐based information retrieval and knowledge representation are in need of a theory concepts semantic relations. Guidelines for the construction maintenance organization systems (KOS) (such as ANSI/NISO Z39.19‐2005 U.S.A. or DIN 2331:1980 Germany) do not consider results concept relations to full extent. They able unify currently different worlds traditional controlled vocabularies, social web (tagging folksonomies) (ontologies). Concept definitions well based on...

Purpose The aim of this paper is to explore the relationship between practitioners and academics in scholarly communication library information science (LIS) journals. Design/methodology/approach research based on a reader survey, citation analysis an editor survey. survey identifies both differences journal rankings contribution LIS provides proportions for shows disparities exchange journals mainly preferred by those more favoured academics. Furthermore, it possible if practitioner differ...

Can cities be smart? In this article we define what a smart city is and formulate categories indicators of and/or informational cities. Based on these measures, investigate four Japanese as case studies that appear to highly developed modern metropolises. We focus infrastructures essential for an base ubiquitous, (in narrow sense), creative, knowledge city. measure the level "smartness" or "informativeness" each create ranking. Finally, preconditions successful development cities, present...

Contemporary and future cities are often labeled as "smart cities," "digital cities" or "ubiquitous "knowledge "creative cities." Informational urbanism includes all aspects of information (tacit well explicit) knowledge with regard to urban regions. "Informational city" (or in a broader sense) is an umbrella term uniting the divergent trends information-related city research. interdisciplinary endeavor incorporating on one side computer science other studies, planning, architecture,...
