Social network analysis is able to relate the status of the social system and the structures of relationships between stakeholders and social well-being, with reference to specific criteria and measurement of quantitative and mathematical indicators. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of achieving a correct management plan based on social monitoring in the form of relationships between greenspace actors in Tehran. In this research, the status of the social network of greenspace activists in Tehran was investigated based on the links between information exchange and participation. The results showed that the level of cohesion and social capital in the social network of local stakeholders in this area is weak to moderate and the stability of the network was estimated as moderate. Also, based on the QAP index, it can be said that the degree of correlation between the two networks of information exchange and participation among actors in the region has a high coefficient. The findings of this study can be used in line with principled policies in sustainable management of greenspaces in Tehran and for planning, decision-making and, ultimately, success in this field of inquiry. In this regard, the need to strengthen the links of information exchange and participation among stakeholders seems necessary to strengthen social capital to achieve a successful management in terms of sustainable management of urban greenspaces in this area.

Globally, the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs) is a significant requirement for companies and economies due to the high uncertainty of environmental and economic conditions. Thus, the present research investigates the impact of effective environmental, social and governance (ESG) monitoring on the SDGs achievement of textile industry in Vietnam. The research also examines the mediating impact of innovative organizational climate among the association of ESG monitoring and SDGs achievement. The questionnaires were adapted to collect the primary data from the selected respondents. Smart-PLS was applied to examine the data reliability and linkage among variables. The results revealed that environmental monitoring and social monitoring have a positive linkage with the SDGs achievement. The findings also exposed that innovative organizational climate significantly mediates among environmental monitoring, social monitoring and SDGs achievement. This article guides the policymakers while formulating regulations related to the ESG monitoring to attain the SDGs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In light of rapid ecosystem and biodiversity decline globally, and in recognition of the key role that humans play in this, it is not surprising that increasing community awareness and engagement with biodiversity is a centrepiece for many biodiversity strategies. The current paper seeks to contribute to this growing focus by developing an indicator of community appreciation of biodiversity that conceptualises appreciation as comprising cognitive, affective and behavioural dimensions. We tested the indicator by drawing on existing data from a survey (N = 2000) conducted with residents of New South Wales, Australia in 2015. The findings confirm the importance of the tripartite conceptualisation in that respondents reported high levels of basic knowledge of biodiversity (cognitive appreciation) and positively valued biodiversity (affective appreciation) but much lower levels of behavioural appreciation. Further analysis revealed six clusters of respondents based on differing levels of cognitive, affective and behavioural appreciation of biodiversity. There were key variables that distinguished membership in the different clusters including education level, level of concern about environmental issues and climate change, views on and use of national parks, and region – where people live. Our indicator provides a nuanced way to monitor and track the effectiveness of programs and policies aiming to increase community appreciation of biodiversity, and thereby support collective actions to reverse ecosystem and biodiversity decline. We also provide recommendations for how the indicator might be improved in future iterations.

- Abstract
The study of the problem of sustainable development of urban areas led to the understanding of the important role that population involvement plays in solving the issues related to forming a comfortable urban environment. It is normal practice to take into account the proposals and recommendations of citizens and organizations when making decisions in the field of territorial development. Nevertheless, the implementation of participatory governance mechanisms faces significant difficulties. This is primarily due to the lack of effective tools for analyzing the opinion of citizens and technologies for integrating urban communities into existing institutions of governance. This article discusses the ways of organizing expert polls based on the principles of "Socratic dialogue". The idea of using social networks for testing and promoting urban development projects by analyzing social reactions to various urban initiatives is considered. The possibility of predicting public opinion about a specific solution for urban development using historical data from social networks has been investigated. An approach to the gamification of work with a social response to the urban environment state through virtual interactions with infrastructure objects is proposed. The prospects for gamification to motivate civic participation and improve the efficiency of feedback mechanisms between the city and its residents are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

With the continuous increase in the use of social networks, social mining is steadily becoming a powerful component of digital phenotyping. In this paper we explore social mining for the classification of self-diagnosed depressed users of Reddit as social network. We conduct a cross evaluation study based on two public datasets in order to understand the impact of transfer learning when the data source is virtually the same. We further complement these results with an experiment of transfer learning in post-partum depression classification, using a corpus we have collected for the matter. Our findings show that transfer learning in social mining might still be at an early stage in computational research and we thoroughly discuss its implications.

Cet article examine la façon dont un groupe de chercheurs français a importé les idées d'Elinor Ostrom, jusqu'à inspirer la naissance d'un programme de gestion dans les réserves de biosphère françaises. Promoteurs d'une philosophie participative visant à dépasser le dilemme État-marché, ces chercheurs ont proposé un modèle de gestion fondé sur l'engagement volontaire des communautés locales. La genèse du programme "éco-acteurs" permet d'analyser les opérations de traduction entre la phase d'exploration par les chercheurs et celle d'opérationnalisation par les gestionnaires, ainsi que les dynamiques de "co-production" entre science et politique. En effet, cet article démontre que la recherche transdisciplinaire en environnement promeut et promet de nouvelles formes de gouvernement qui, tout en cherchant des voies alternatives, s'insèrent dans un ordre néolibéral. À l'heure du "faire mieux avec moins", ces scientifiques ont défendu un type de gouvernement rendu théoriquement efficace et peu coûteux par les mécanismes de "contrôle social." Le programme "éco-acteurs" offre ainsi l'opportunité de confronter les principes théoriques d'Ostrom aux réalités de leur mise en œuvre locale, dans un contexte marqué par un manque généralisé de financements publics.

Specific social media behaviors have been found to be differentially associated with adjustment outcomes; however, the extant research has yet to consider the motivations behind why adolescents engage in these specific behaviors. This study examined the role of two developmentally relevant motivational correlates (social goals and pubertal status) on four social media behaviors (self-disclosure, self-presentation, social monitoring, and lurking) and two time-based measures of social media use (daily number of hours on social media and frequency of social media use). Self-report data were collected from 426 middle-school students (54.2% female, 73.6% White, 11.5% Black, 4.8% Hispanic, 10.1% other ethnicity, and mean age = 12.91). Social goals and pubertal status were distinctly associated with different social media behaviors, with some relevant sex differences. Popularity goal was positively associated with all six measures of social media engagement, although the associations for self-presentation and social monitoring were stronger for girls. Sex differences in lurking followed the same pattern but did not reach significance. Acceptance goal was associated with fewer hours spent on social media for girls only. Early developers reported more self-disclosure and lurking behaviors, and marginally more social monitoring (girls only). These findings indicate the importance of identifying motivational factors, especially social goals, when considering early adolescents' social media behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Social media engagement is common among adolescents, yet not all adolescents use social media in the same ways or experience the same adjustment correlates. This study examined four social media behaviors (self-disclosure, self-presentation, lurking, and social monitoring) and two time-based measures of social media use (daily number of hours on social media and frequency of social media use) on three developmentally relevant adjustment correlates (internalizing problems, prosocial support, and online peer victimization). Self-report data were collected from 426 middle-school students (54.2% female, 73.6% Caucasian, 11.5% Black, 4.8% Hispanic, 10.1% other ethnicity, mean age = 12.91). The findings showed distinct adjustment patterns among the social media engagement indices, as well as sex and age differences. Neither the number of hours on social media nor social monitoring were associated with any adjustment correlates; however, the frequency of social media use was associated with positive adjustment (less internalizing problems and more prosocial support), primarily for older adolescents. Self-disclosure was positively associated with online peer victimization (girls only) and prosocial support. Self-presentation was associated with higher levels of internalizing problems and online peer victimization, as well as less prosocial support for younger adolescents and boys. Lurking was positively associated with internalizing problems. The findings suggest the need to consider specific types of social media engagement when creating prevention and intervention programs to address adolescent maladjustment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
In natural resource management, different stakeholders and actors can be involved as major components. These can include the social network of users benefiting from natural resources. Therefore, the need for an evaluation of the human community that comes into relation with natural resources and social relations is inevitable. The present study aimed to portray current scopes of management in the Zagros forests based on social monitoring and estimations of relationships between local actors. The research uses a method of social network analysis as an efficient tool for evaluating these relationships. Links were found between information exchange and participation in the social network of local actors, and, accordingly, the quantitative and mathematical indicators of network analysis were evaluated among all actors in the Zagros forests. The level of cohesion and social capital in the social network of local stakeholders in this region were estimated as "weak" to "moderate," and the sustainability of the network was "moderate." Based on the Quadratic Assignment Procedure (QAP index), a high coefficient was obtained in describing the level of correlation between the two networks of information exchange and participation among the actors in the region. The results can be used in line with principled policies in managing forest resources of the Zagros region for planning, decision-making, and sustainability. Based on the results, there is potential for an increase in social control in the target groups and adherence to local traditions in the sustainable management of forest resources among actors. This can be achieved by strengthening social trust. The scientific contribution of this research mainly fills gaps in the current knowledge of Iran's administrative bodies which are responsible for sending and receiving information about forest management. The focus is largely descriptive and each organization is given attributes to its values of in-degree and out-degree centrality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vigilance behaviour in group-living animals helps to detect threats. Individual vigilance levels are thought to decrease as group size or the number of neighbours increases. However, the results of studies on the effects of group size or the number of neighbours are inconsistent, especially in primates. Since social vigilance (i.e. monitoring for group members) plays an essential role in group-living primates, discrepancies among studies may have been caused by differences in the quality of social relationships between group members. Using data from a provisioned group of Japanese macaques, Macaca fuscata , this study examined the effects of the quality of social relationships and the number of neighbours on vigilance levels. We found that the frequency of vigilance was lower when the majority of an individual's neighbours were kin than when kin were in the minority. Since Japanese macaques show strong nepotism and cope with social threats by forming coalitions between close kin, individuals may be able to reduce their vigilance levels by relying on the vigilance of potential allies. Furthermore, when the majority of neighbours were kin, the proportion of time spent on vigilance decreased as the number of neighbours increased. However, when kin were in the minority of neighbours, the number of neighbours did not affect vigilance levels. Overall, our results indicate that the quality of social relationships with neighbours and the number of neighbours interactively affect vigilance levels. • Several social factors affect individual vigilance levels in Japanese macaques. • Time spent vigilant decreased as the number of neighbours increased. • This effect of the number of neighbours exists only if the neighbours are kin. • Vigilance levels may be adjusted depending on the quality of social relationships.

- Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic is the first to unfold in the highly digitalized society of the 21st century and is therefore the first pandemic to benefit from and be threatened by a thriving real-time digital information ecosystem. For this reason, the response to the infodemic required development of a public health social listening taxonomy, a structure that can simplify the chaotic information ecosystem to enable an adaptable monitoring infrastructure that detects signals of fertile ground for misinformation and guides trusted sources of verified information to fill in information voids in a timely manner. A weekly analysis of public online conversations since 23 March 2020 has enabled the quantification of running shifts of public interest in public health-related topics concerning the pandemic and has demonstrated the frequent resumption of information voids relevant for public health interventions and risk communication in an emergency response setting.

Belonging to a social group is one of the most important factors contributing to well-being. The Belonging Regulation model proposes that humans possess a social monitoring system (SMS) that evaluates social inclusion and monitors belonging needs. Here, we used a prospective longitudinal design to examine links between peer victimization experienced across 7 years and social monitoring at the behavioral and neural level in adolescent girls (n = 38, Mage = 15.43 years, SD =.33). Participants completed a social evaluation task during a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scan. More severe peer victimization was associated with increased activation to in-group versus out-group peers in the amygdala, ventral striatum, fusiform gyrus, and temporoparietal junction. Moreover, participants who displayed increased activation in these regions reported lower social self esteem and higher levels of internalizing and externalizing symptoms. These results suggest that exposure to peer victimization across the school years is associated with heightened social monitoring at the neural level during adolescence, which has potential adverse implications for girls' adjustment and well-being.

Lonely individuals show increased social monitoring and heightened recognition of negative facial expressions. The current study investigated whether this pattern extends to other nonverbal modalities by examining associations between loneliness and the recognition of vocal emotional expressions. Youth, ages 11–18 years (n = 122), were asked to identify the intended emotion in auditory portrayals of basic emotions (anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness) and social expressions (friendliness, meanness). Controlling for social anxiety, age, and gender, links between loneliness and recognition accuracy were emotion-specific: loneliness was associated with poorer recognition of fear, but better recognition of friendliness. Lonely individuals' motivation to avoid threat may interfere with the recognition of fear, but their attunement to affiliative cues may promote the identification of friendliness in affective prosody. Monitoring for social affiliation cues in others' voices might represent an adaptive function of the reconnection system in lonely youth, and be a worthy target for intervention.

Contrary to the claim that loneliness routinely impairs the decoding of social cues such as emotion displays, Knowles, Lucas, Baumeister, and Gardner (2015) proposed that lonely adults "choke under pressure," experiencing impairments only when social monitoring is framed as diagnostic of general social skill. In four experiments, Knowles et al. showed that lonely individuals performed worse than nonlonely individuals at decoding social cues when the decoding task was framed as a test of social aptitude, but not when it was framed as a test of academic aptitude. The studies were small (N's ranging from 78 to 203), and all employed a convenience sample of mostly female undergraduate students, impairing both statistical power and external validity. In addition, the lack of a true control group precluded the studies from establishing whether loneliness inhibits social monitoring ability if no frame is offered. This study conceptually replicates the central hypothesis of Knowles et al. using a sample of adults that is substantially larger and more diverse demographically and geographically, and using a true control group in addition to the comparison group. Results revealed a significant main effect of loneliness on social monitoring ability but did not replicate the choking under pressure phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Vigilance is used to monitor extra-group threats as well as risky group members. We examined whether relationship quality affects vigilance patterns of spider monkeys. We used focal animal sampling to collect data on social interactions and individual vigilance of all adults and subadults (N = 22) in a community of well-habituated Geoffroy's spider monkeys living in the protected area of Otoch Ma'ax Yetel Kooh, Yucatan, Mexico. Through a principal component analysis of seven indices of social interactions, we previously obtained three components of relationship quality, reflecting the levels of compatibility, value, and security. Such components could differentially affect vigilance depending on whether vigilance is directed to extra-group threats or risky group members. We tested whether an individual's vigilance was affected by (1) the mean level of compatibility, the mean level of value and the mean level of security across subgroup members; (2) the lowest level of compatibility, the lowest level of value, and the lowest level of security with any subgroup member; and (3) the mean level of compatibility, the mean level of value, and the mean level of security with neighbors (i.e., subgroup members within 5 m). We did not find evidence for any effect of compatibility and value; however, security did affect vigilance, as individuals were more vigilant when they had a less secure relationship with the subgroup member with the lowest level of security or with the average neighbor. Significance statement: Vigilance for monitoring group members is common in primate species. We examined whether the quality of social relationships with subgroup members and neighbors modulates vigilance in wild spider monkeys. We used three components of relationship quality (reflecting the levels of compatibility, value, and security) and predicted each component would affect vigilance depending on whether vigilance was directed to extra-group threats or risky group members. We found no evidence that compatibility and value affected vigilance. However, an increase in vigilance occurred when spider monkeys had a less secure relationship with (1) the subgroup member with the lowest level of security and (2) the average neighbor. Our results show monitoring risky group members is an important component of vigilance, especially in species facing low predation pressure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article describes features of the lifestyle associated with rotational employment system in developing oil and gas resources of Northwestern Siberia. It shows the change in conceptual approaches to the organization of commuting, the dynamics of key parameters, the socio-cultural features of mobile and multilocal lifestyle of commuters. The consideration of the rotational method as complex and significant for the implementation of the tasks set for the Arctic and subarctic areas of Russia has allowed to reveal the interaction system of basic elements of commuting and offer more efficient tools and technologies as compared to traditional management. The author presents some results of the sociological research in the oil and gas companies located in Northwestern Siberia. The work discloses the factors of negative impact of commuting on health, physical and social well-being of people leading “double” and mobile lives. They are the following: need for long stay in closed space with strangers, differences in natural conditions of places of residence and work (pressure drops, oxygen deficiency in the North, light aperiodicity, food and water quality, cold and mosquitoes, separation from family, etc.), increased physical and emotional stress. The surveys of employees on rotation, their families and management of the enterprises using this method in the oil and gas areas of the Western-Siberian North, conducted by the author for four decades, have given the opportunity to identify the causes of people’s dissatisfaction with conditions of their life, their attitude to authorities and different aspects of organization of production and life, transportation from place of residence to place of employment and back, etc. Geography of fly-in fly-out transportation and the level of satisfaction with various elements of such work have recently changed. The priority importance of payment for labor efforts has only preserved. Besides, if in the Soviet period of development of northern oil and gas resources the workers were employed in the Middle Ob region, nowadays the fall in oil production volumes has encouraged the formed groups of workers to begin working for the development of Eastern Siberia, Yamal, etc. The article substantiates the necessity of developing new interdisciplinary research on the basis of acquired results to mitigate negative social consequences of commuting and implementing a sociological monitoring system

One of the biggest problems social pushers face is tying together all of their social data. Huge data requires intelligent handling so as to forecast a complete picture of a brand's social media landscape, activity and audience. Attracting audience using social media are now considered as engagement and credibility, which is supposed to be the most suitable activity on Twitter. The paper attempts to study the various methods used for analyzing credibility of information on Twitter using Twitter Analytics. The paper also explores anonymous tools which perhaps is used for analyzing and visualizing Twitter network in association with mapping, intelligent publishing, analyzing influencers and competitors, tweet schedulers, measurement of impact and reach, cross platform tracking, tweeting styles and tendencies etc. so that the Twitter data can be analyzed appropriately and one can investigate its Marketing ROI.

With the continuous increase in the use of social networks, social mining is steadily becoming a powerful component of digital phenotyping. In this paper we explore social mining for the classification of self-diagnosed depressed users of Reddit as social network. We conduct a cross evaluation study based on two public datasets in order to understand the impact of transfer learning when the data source is virtually the same. We further complement these results with an experiment of transfer learning in post-partum depression classification, using a corpus we have collected for the matter. Our findings show that transfer learning in social mining might still be at an early stage in computational research and we thoroughly discuss its implications.

From its beginnings research on social indicators was not primarily considered as pure, but rather applied research in terms of the regular monitoring of and reporting on quality of life. Thus, the successes—but eventually also failures—of social indicators research may first of all be visible in its most important field of application. Social monitoring and reporting activities, which can be traced back to the early 1970s provide quantitative information and empirically based analytical knowledge on well-being and progress in a single society or groups of societies to be used for different purposes, including policy making. Providing an overview over the variety of social monitoring and reporting projects emerging from social indicators research is supposed to be important with a view to form a more solid fundament for present and future discourses and initiatives in the field of measuring and monitoring well-being and progress. The article looks back to this field of applied social indicators research and—with a focus on Europe—identifies patterns and recent trends in this sort of activities. By looking forward, it finally discusses selected issues that are considered to be crucial for further improvements in this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

EU social policy has generally been limited to the definition of non-binding social outcome targets, a governance model known as 'second order output governance'. However, many EU Member States have failed to make progress in fighting poverty. This begs the question of whether a more performant EU-level involvement in the field of social policy is conceivable. In this paper, we argue that European minimum standards are the place to start, including principles for minimum social security and minimum wages, as i) the European social objectives cannot be attained without guaranteeing adequate incomes to those in and out of work, and ii) social co-ordination should thus go beyond broad outcome goals such as the reduction of the number of households at risk of poverty or social exclusion. We propose to include policy indicators regarding minimum income protection in the recently revised EU monitoring process of the European Semester. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Animals foraging under risk have to trade-off resource acquisition and predator avoidance. Environmental factors can modulate the level of risk and should thus influence the expression of anti-predator behaviours such as vigilance. In this study, we investigated the effects of physical and social environments on eastern chipmunks' (Tamias striatus) vigilance, by varying the perceived risk through playback experiments of alarm calls and neutral environmental sounds, and by integrating habitat and weather characteristics, as well as neighbour density. Chipmunks showed higher levels of vigilance when foraging in more open habitats, under high wind conditions, when they heard alarm calls and when surrounded by a high neighbour density. The effects of wind intensity and neighbour density on vigilance were also stronger during the broadcast of alarm calls rather than neutral sounds. Our results emphasize how both the physical and social environments can modify risk perception and therefore risk-taking decisions of foraging individuals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Copying others can be used to enhance foraging and mating opportunities, but can be costly due to the need to monitor the actions of others, which can take time away from foraging and antipredator vigilance. However, little is known about the way animals monitor conspecifics. We investigated the mechanism that European starlings, Sturnus vulgaris , use to visually monitor group mates in perching situations through two questions. First, do starlings copy the timing of each other's vigilance? Second, do they use their centres of acute vision to monitor group mates? We studied a component of vigilance that has received relatively little attention, lateral scans, which consist of changes in the orientation of the head (i.e. gaze shifting) while in a head-up position. We found that starlings copied the timing of their neighbour's scans, placing them closer together in time than expected by chance. This could enhance the speed of social information spread within a group compared to random timing of head movements. The strength of this copying effect varied with neighbour distance and the sex of the follower and leader, suggesting that starlings appear to be more motivated to copy some individuals over others. Additionally, instead of monitoring neighbours with their centres of acute vision (high-quality vision), starlings tended to use their retinal periphery (low-acuity vision), potentially reducing the costs of social monitoring. Copying the timing of lateral scans may have advantages for gathering social information (i.e. quick responses to movements of group mates in situations such as murmurations). However, it can also have costs in terms of delaying the detection of personal information by any group member (e.g. predator attack) due to longer gaps without changes in gaze orientation. Therefore, copying the timing of lateral scans may be restricted to specific contexts (e.g. low predation risk). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Städte sind Zentren der sozialen, kulturellen, wirtschaftlichen und materiellen Vielfalt, in denen Menschen in unterschiedlichsten Lebenslagen im dicht besiedelten Raum aufeinandertreffen und sich soziale Ungleichheiten bzw. Disparitäten durch die räumliche Konzentration von Bevölkerungsgruppen manifestieren und verstärken können. Durch die Zunahme innerstädtischer Disparitäten haben zahlreiche deutschsprachige (Groß-)Städte begonnen, kleinräumige Sozialraumberichterstattungen aufzubauen, um der räumlichen Konzentration von sozialen Problemlagen frühzeitig entgegenwirken zu können. In diesem Beitrag werden die unterschiedlichen methodisch-konzeptionellen Herangehensweisen bei quantitativen Sozialraumanalysen in 25 deutschsprachigen (Groß-)Städten mit vergleichbarem Datenmaterial systematisch analysiert und diskutiert. Dabei sind für diese Metaanalyse die systematische Gegenüberstellung der Motivationen, Ziele und inhaltlichen Fragestellungen sowie die dafür verwendeten Indikatoren, räumlichen Analyseebenen und methodischen Herangehensweisen von Interesse. Der Erkenntnisgewinn kann für Stadt- und Regionalverwaltungen von Relevanz bei der (Neu-)Konzeption und Durchführung eigener Sozialraumanalysen sein. Cities are centres of social, cultural, economic and material diversity, where people in the most diverse living situations meet in densely populated areas and where social inequalities or disparities can manifest and intensify through the spatial concentration of population groups. Due to the increase in inner-city disparities, numerous German-speaking (large) cities have started to establish small-scale social area reports in order to be able to counteract the spatial concentration of social problems at an early stage. This paper systematically analyses and discusses the different methodological-conceptual approaches to quantitative social area analyses in 25 German speaking (large) cities with comparable data material. The systematic comparison of motivations, goals and content-related questions as well as the indicators, spatial levels of analysis and methodological approaches used are of interest for this meta-analysis. The knowledge gained can be of relevance for urban and regional administrations when (re)designing and implementing their own social area analyses.

Netnography ,Social monitoring ,Media studies ,Digital ethnography ,Social media ,Sociology ,Influencer marketing - Abstract
Ethnography has been used to research various people and topics online, primarily using netnography and digital ethnography. Researchers and businesses employ digital ethnographic methods to access an assortment of social media platforms in order to learn about social media users. Researchers seek to understand relationships between social media users and organizations from both academic and practitioner perspectives. These organizations run the gamut from for-profit businesses, to nonprofits, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and government agencies. The specific focus here is on social media research as it relates to businesses. Organizations make use of social media in a variety of ways, but chiefly to market to clients and to gather information on followers; the latter of which, in turn, helps them understand their target markets. While this social media data is both quantitative and qualitative in nature, the emphasis here centers on qualitative data, particularly the ways businesses interact with social media users. While some firms mainly use older forms of one-way marketing that solely focus on disseminating information, other firms increasingly seek ways to interact with customers and co-create products with clients. Additionally, social media users are creating their own communities, formed due to a shared interest in a brand. Companies strive to learn more about their customers through these groups. Influencers also play a role in the relationship between organizations and social media users by linking their own followerships to products and brands. In turn, influencers develop their own relationships with organizations through sponsorships, thus becoming brands themselves. Influencers risk losing their followerships when followers perceive them as no longer accessible or authentic. This change in perception can occur for a variety of reasons, including when followers believe that an influencer has prioritized brand alignment over building connections with followers. Due to multiple relationships with different brands and their followers, influencers must negotiate the ambiguity and evolving nature of their role. As social media and digital spaces develop, so must the tools used by anthropologists. Anthropologists should remain open to incorporating hallmarks of ethnographic research such as fieldnotes, participant observation, and focus groups in new ways and alongside tools from other disciplines, including market and UX (user experience) research. The divide between practitioners and academics is blurring. Anthropologists can solve client issues while contributing their voices to larger anthropological and societal discussions.

Quality of life is considered one of the main criteria for evaluating public policy. Monitoring of social processes is a tool for control the quality of life, as well as developing recommendations for its improvement. Appropriate monitoring involves a collection of data according to defined principles and the subsequent application of the information obtained to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of management goals or the use of funds received. Comprehensive monitoring should be increasingly used at the regional and local levels and provides the authorities with information about the problems of territorial development. Monitoring problems have been classified into the following groups: administrative and territorial, caused by the limited availability of official data, associated with low frequency or pronounced specificity of the process under investigation, those associated with the difficulty of unambiguous determination of indicators, caused by the so-called "human factor". Administrative reform can be followed with changes in the powers of the territorial authorities or its territorial basis. In some institutions and organizations at the regional level, statistic data are collected and published non-systematically. The monitoring is complicated by inconsistency conceptual and terminological apparatus or the methods of displaying statistical information. The human factor can manifest in a significant heterogeneity of the population within the studied group, social stigmatization of participants in events and processes, financial features, or the Free Rider Effect. The Polish experience in monitoring social processes provides important material for improving the methodology and methods of such studies in other countries.

Cities are constantly evolving complex systems. Detection methods of land use distribution have to keep pace with their rapidly changing landscapes. While traditional analysis relies on surveys and census data typically refreshed at most yearly, the widespread use of mobile devices allows cell phone activity measurements to be used as sensors for the functional clustering of urban districts. These activity-based proprietary measurements are recently complemented by publicly available geosocial network records that even enable content-aware analysis. As a bridge between separate methods, in this work we analyze the relation of conversation content and functional spatial clusters of cities using a double dataset approach. We look at the differentiating power of the content of local conversations in activity-driven land use detection based on mobile phone records. In addition to intra-city analysis of three metropolises, we present a comparative study of London, New York City, and Los Angeles sharing the common language of English, but having very different cultural backgrounds. We show that the share of words with a similar temporal pattern to that of local mobile activities is different across cities, as well as between functional clusters. We find that the conversational content can effectively differentiate both functional clusters of a single city, and similar locations of the same function across many cities, like business areas that otherwise have a common temporal heartbeat. Moreover, we identify words related to activity types as the most important features emerging from the content-based, data-driven classification.

- Abstract
In this Ph.D. thesis we propose, as fundamental research, the design, development and evaluation of a supervised approach for sentiment analysis. This work is based on the hypothesis that an efficient use of the skipgram modelling can improve sentiment analysis tasks and reduce the resources they need. In summary, it consists on a supervised approach that uses machine learning techniques and skipgrams as information units, mainly focused on skipgram selection and filtering. This approach will be evaluated and compared to current state-of-the-art techniques. In addition, as applied research we propose a sentiment visualisation tool, strongly integrated with our sentiment analysis approach. This tool is oriented in the context of social media, measuring reputation and user interactions in real time.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) are currently being deployed in many European Commission Horizon 2020 projects in reaction to the increasing number of environmental threats, such as climate change, unsustainable urbanization, degradation and loss of natural capital and ecosystem services. In this research, we consider the application of NBS as a catalyst for social inclusivity in urban regeneration strategies, enabled through civic participation in the co-creation of green interventions with respect to social cohesion and wellbeing. This article is focused on a social monitoring framework elaborated within the H2020 CLEVER Cities project, with the city of Milan as a case study. Firstly, we overviewed the major regeneration challenges and expected co-benefits of the project, which are mainly human health and wellbeing, social cohesion and environmental justice, as well as citizen perception about safety and security related to the NBS implementation process. Secondly, we examined the relevance of using NBS in addressing social co-benefits by analyzing data from questionnaires against a set of five major indicators, submitted to citizens and participants of activities during pre-greening interventions: (1) Place, use of space and relationship with nature, (2) Perceived ownership and sense of belonging, (3) Psychosocial issues, social interactions and social cohesion, (4) Citizen perception about safety and security, and lastly, we analyzed (5) knowledge about CLEVER interventions and NBS benefits in relation to socio-demographics of the questionnaires’ respondents. Thirdly, we cross-referenced a wind-rose multi-model of co-benefits analysis for NBS across the regeneration challenges of the project. Because of the COVID-19 emergency, in this research we mainly focused on site observations and online questionnaires, as well as on monitoring pre-greening scenarios in three Urban Living Labs (ULLs) in Milan, namely CLEVER Action Labs. Lastly, this study emphasizes the expected social added values of NBS impact over long-term urban regeneration projects. Insights from the pre-greening surveys results accentuate the importance of the NBS interventions in citizens’ perceptions about their wellbeing, general health and strong sense of neighborhood belonging. A wider interest towards civic participation in co-management and getting informed about NBS interventions in the Milanese context is also noted.

50. Three Principles to REVISE People’s Unethical Behavior.

Ayal, Shahar, Gino, Francesca, Barkan, Rachel, and Ariely, Dan
- Abstract
Dishonesty and unethical behavior are widespread in the public and private sectors and cause immense annual losses. For instance, estimates of U.S. annual losses indicate $1 trillion paid in bribes, $270 billion lost due to unreported income, and $42 billion lost in retail due to shoplifting and employee theft. In this article, we draw on insights from the growing fields of moral psychology and behavioral ethics to present a three-principle framework we call REVISE. This framework classifies forces that affect dishonesty into three main categories and then redirects those forces to encourage moral behavior. The first principle, reminding, emphasizes the effectiveness of subtle cues that increase the salience of morality and decrease people’s ability to justify dishonesty. The second principle, visibility, aims to restrict anonymity, prompt peer monitoring, and elicit responsible norms. The third principle, self-engagement, increases people’s motivation to maintain a positive self-perception as a moral person and helps bridge the gap between moral values and actual behavior. The REVISE framework can guide the design of policy interventions to defeat dishonesty. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
