SMI-5: Five Dimensions of Social Media Interaction for Platform (De)Centralization

Lynnette Hui Xian Ng, Samantha C. Phillips, Kathleen M. Carley

Web 3.0 focuses on the decentralization of the internet and creating a system of interconnected and independent computers for improved privacy and security. We extend the idea of the decentralization of the web to the social media space: whereby we ask: in the context of the social media space, what does "decentralization" mean? Does decentralization of social media affect user interactions? We put forth the notion that decentralization in the social media does not solely take place on the physical network level, but can be compartmentalized across the entire social media stack. This paper puts forth SMI-5: the five dimensions of social media interaction for describing the (de)centralization of social platforms. We then illustrate a case study that the user interactions differ based on the slices of the SMI layer analyzed, highlighting the importance of understanding the (de)centralization of social media platforms from an a more encompassing perspective rather than only the physical network.

Knowledge and Attitude of Women Towards Breast Cancer Screening in Resource-Limited Setting in Women Aged 18–45 Years

Jennifer Adaeze Chukwu, Chinedu O. Egwu, Chidinma Chukwu et al.

Breast cancer incidence is on the rise regardless of several interventions available for its management. This scenario may be worse in resource-limited countries. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude of women towards Breast Cancer Screening (BCS) in Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital (AKTH), Kano State, a typically resource-limited state in Nigeria. This was a cross-sectional study. The study population comprised female individuals aged 18–45 years attending the Antenatal and Postnatal clinics of AKTH. An adopted questionnaire instrument was used to extract vital information on the knowledge and attitude of women towards breast cancer screening in the Antenatal and Postnatal clinics of AKTH. Our findings showed that there is much awareness about BCS, even though most participants’ knowledge about the methods and timing of the scan is low. Much enlightenment is achieved through the availability of print and electronic media on BCS. A better attitude is shown when trained personnel conduct BCS. A good number of participants who have knowledge are yet to translate their knowledge and attitudes into practice. Based on our findings, coordinated and timely awareness campaigns should be organized by local health authorities to improve knowledge and attitude towards BCS.

Digital Emotion Regulation on Social Media

Akriti Verma, Shama Islam, Valeh Moghaddam et al.

Emotion regulation is the process of consciously altering one's affective state, that is the underlying emotional state such as happiness, confidence, guilt, anger etc. The ability to effectively regulate emotions is necessary for functioning efficiently in everyday life. Today, the pervasiveness of digital technology is being purposefully employed to modify our affective states, a process known as digital emotion regulation. Understanding digital emotion regulation can help support the rise of ethical technology design, development, and deployment. This article presents an overview of digital emotion regulation in social media applications, as well as a synthesis of recent research on emotion regulation interventions for social media. We share our findings from analysing state-of-the-art literature on how different social media applications are utilised at different stages in the process of emotion regulation.

Hardware-Aware Automated Neural Minimization for Printed Multilayer Perceptrons

Argyris Kokkinis, Georgios Zervakis, Kostas Siozios et al.

The demand of many application domains for flexibility, stretchability, and porosity cannot be typically met by the silicon VLSI technologies. Printed Electronics (PE) has been introduced as a candidate solution that can satisfy those requirements and enable the integration of smart devices on consumer goods at ultra low-cost enabling also in situ and ondemand fabrication. However, the large features sizes in PE constraint those efforts and prohibit the design of complex ML circuits due to area and power limitations. Though, classification is mainly the core task in printed applications. In this work, we examine, for the first time, the impact of neural minimization techniques, in conjunction with bespoke circuit implementations, on the area-efficiency of printed Multilayer Perceptron classifiers. Results show that for up to 5% accuracy loss up to 8x area reduction can be achieved.

Determinants of Communication Channel Used among Rice Value Chain Actors in Nasarawa and Benue States, Nigeria

Cynthia Ebere Nwobodo, Agwu Ekwe Agwu, David John Okoronkwo et al.

The study assessed the determinants of communication channel use among rice value chain actors in Nasarawa and Benue States, Nigeria. A multistage sampling procedure was used to select six hundred (600) respondents. Data were collected using a semi-structured interview schedule and were analyzed using a binary logistic regression model with the forced entry method. Results show that the full Logit Regression model containing all the predictors for determinants of use of face-to-face communication channel (x2 = 19.74), mobile phone (x2 = 46.453), radio (x2 = 55.12), television (x2 = 34.41) and print media (x2 = 29.71) were statistically significant. The key determinants for the use of mobile phones include: sex, age, number of social organizations, and years of experience while sex, age, and number of years spent in school were key determinants in the use of television. Therefore, extension agents should consider the different socio-economic groups in selecting communication channels in reaching out to rice value chain actors as identified. Also, extension agencies should create awareness, and provide training opportunities to enable actors to take advantage of the available channels in rice value chain communication.

Factors that Determine the Need of the Printing Enterprise in Basic Technological Equipment

Василь Олександрович Кохановський, Оксана Володимирівна Зоренко, Розалія Анатоліївна Хохлова

The question of the efficiency of the use of printing equipment has become especially relevant in the conditions of competition and the general decline of the economy. In this regard, enterprises are interested in accelerating the process of replacing outdated and introducing new equipment and technologies in order to improve the use of fixed production assets and gain profit. The purpose of this article is to systematize the system of factors that shape the printing company’s need for basic technological equipment. A set of such factors has been determined, which can be classified into two groups. The first group includes external factors: the economic policy of the state, scientific and technological progress, competition, demand for products produced using the main technological equipment, and the second group includes internal factors: replacing physically and morally obsolete equipment with equipment, technical re-equipment of production, expansion or reorientation of production to new types of products. In the conditions of the economic downturn, the need for a printing company to work for a specific customer is increasing, whose main requirements include price, quality, and short order production times. Such requirements can be met only by modern types of equipment, as a rule, with the use of digital technologies. Digital printing facilitates the communication process, allows: to create direct contact between the customer and the manufacturer using the network, to reduce circulation without reducing the efficiency of the use of the main technological equipment, to increase the range of products, to shorten the production cycle, operational production (reduction of warehouse stocks, distribution through the network, production on places), direct marketing. A method of calculating the need for equipment for newly established and reconstructed enterprises is also proposed.

Online randomised trials with children: A scoping review.

Simone Lepage, Aislinn Conway, Noah Goodson et al.

<h4>Background</h4>Paediatric trials must contend with many challenges that adult trials face but often bring additional obstacles. Decentralised trials, where some or all trial methods occur away from a centralised location, are a promising strategy to help meet these challenges. This scoping review aims to (a) identify what methods and tools have been used to create and conduct entirely online-decentralised trials with children and (b) determine the gaps in the knowledge in this field. This review will describe the methods used in these trials to identify their facilitators and the gaps in the knowledge.<h4>Methods</h4>The methods were informed by guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute and the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews. We systematically searched MEDLINE, CENTRAL, CINAHL, and Embase databases, trial registries, pre-print servers, and the internet. We included randomised and quasi-randomised trials conducted entirely online with participants under 18 published in English. A risk of bias assessment was completed for all included studies.<h4>Results</h4>Twenty-one trials met our inclusion criteria. The average age of participants was 14.6 years. Social media was the most common method of online recruitment. Most trials employed an external host website to store and protect their data. Duration of trials ranged from single-session interventions up to ten weeks. Fourteen trials compensated participants. Eight trials involved children in their trial design process; none reported compensation for this. Most trials had a low risk of bias in "random sequence generation", "selective reporting", and "other". Most trials had a high risk of bias in "blinding participants and personnel", "blinding of outcome assessment", and "incomplete outcome data". "Allocation concealment" was unclear in most studies.<h4>Conclusions</h4>There was a lack of transparent reporting of the recruitment, randomisation, and retention methods used in many of the trials included in this review. Patient and public involvement (PPI) was not common, and the compensation of PPI partners was not reported in any study. Consent methods and protection against fraudulent entries to trials were creative and thoroughly discussed by some trials and not addressed by others. More work and thorough reporting of how these trials are conducted is needed to increase their reproducibility and quality.<h4>Ethics and dissemination</h4>Ethical approval was not necessary since all data sources used are publicly available.

Exploring women’s exposure to marketing of commercial formula products: a qualitative marketing study from two sites in South Africa

Catherine Pereira-Kotze, Christiane Horwood, Lyn Haskins et al.

Background Regulating the marketing of commercial formula products is a long-term commitment required to protect breastfeeding. Marketing strategies of formula manufacturers, retailers and distributors evolve at a rapid rate. Objective The aim of this research was to describe exposure of pregnant women and mothers of young children in South Africa to marketing of commercial formula products, compared to international recommendations and national legislation. Methods Using mobile phone marketing diaries twenty participants in Cape Town and Johannesburg documented the formula marketing they were exposed to for one week. Ten mothers were interviewed to explore their perceptions towards marketing exposure in more depth. Results Women reported limited infant formula advertising, but an abundance of strategies used to market growing-up formula and powdered drinks for children over 36 months. Strategies included product packaging, in-store displays, online distribution channels and educational material about product ranges. Online strategies were reported, namely social media marketing (sponsored adverts and support groups), websites and mobile phone applications providing infant and young child feeding information and price discounts, print and TV advertisements, and competitions. Products for children over 36 months are cross-promoted with products prohibited to be advertised by national legislation. Conclusions South African women are being exposed to covert marketing of infant, follow-up, and growing-up formula. Explicit marketing of products for children over 36 months of age allows formula companies to provide messages about branding and use of commercial formula products to mothers. National legislation should be updated and effectively implemented to address changing marketing strategies.

Computer Algorithms for Detecting Polarization Maps for Polymer Homogeneity Control in Printing Industry

Олександр Григорович Ушенко, Михайло Петрович Горський, Олександр Володимирович Дуболазов et al.

This scientific paper presents, in a concise and systematic way, new results for traditional laser polarization introspection methods of investigating the polycrystalline architectonics of phase-inhomogeneous polymer layers, which, in addition to linear and circular birefringence, also possess optically anisotropic absorption. Such optically anisotropic mechanisms include linear and circular dichroism. The presence of such mechanisms results in phase shifts between orthogonally (linearly and circularly) polarized components of complex laser emission amplitudes. This results in diagnostic ambiguity in the differentiation of polarization manifestations of birefringence and dichroism mechanisms. We propose a new algorithm for differential Mueller matrix reconstruction of linear and circular dichroism parameters by analytical decomposition of the Mueller polarization matrix in the basis of polarization (1st order differential matrix) and depolarization (2nd order differential matrix) components. This work is aimed at generalization of laser polarimetry methods to the case of partially depolarizable optically anisotropic methyl acrylate layers. A method of experimental determination of the specified partial matrix operators and a statistical evaluation of reconstructed coordinate distributions of random values of amplitude anisotropy parameters have been developed. On this theoretical-experimental basis the method of differential mapping of Mueller matrix for reproduction of linear and circular birefringence and dichroism parameter distributions of partially depolarized methyl acrylate layers has been proposed and experimentally proved. Within the framework of the statistical approach the most sensitive diagnostic parameters are determined - the statistical moments of higher pore moments, which characterize the asymmetry and excess of the Mueller matrix coordinate distributions of the linear and circular dichroism parameter distributions.

Quantifying the Suicidal Tendency on Social Media: A Survey

Muskan Garg

Amid lockdown period more people express their feelings over social media platforms due to closed third-place and academic researchers have witnessed strong associations between the mental healthcare and social media posts. The stress for a brief period may lead to clinical depressions and the long-lasting traits of prevailing depressions can be life threatening with suicidal ideation as the possible outcome. The increasing concern towards the rise in number of suicide cases is because it is one of the leading cause of premature but preventable death. Recent studies have shown that mining social media data has helped in quantifying the suicidal tendency of users at risk. This potential manuscript elucidates the taxonomy of mental healthcare and highlights some recent attempts in examining the potential of quantifying suicidal tendency on social media data. This manuscript presents the classification of heterogeneous features from social media data and handling feature vector representation. Aiming to identify the new research directions and advances in the development of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) based models, a quantitative synthesis and a qualitative review was carried out with corpus of over 77 potential research articles related to stress, depression and suicide risk from 2013 to 2021.

Impact of The Daily Mile on children’s physical and mental health, and educational attainment in primary schools: iMprOVE cohort study protocol

Dougal S Hargreaves, Russell M Viner, Sonia Saxena et al.

Introduction School-based active mile initiatives such as The Daily Mile (TDM) are widely promoted to address shortfalls in meeting physical activity recommendations. The iMprOVE Study aims to examine the impact of TDM on children’s physical and mental health and educational attainment throughout primary school.Methods and analysis iMprOVE is a longitudinal quasi-experimental cohort study. We will send a survey to all state-funded primary schools in Greater London to identify participation in TDM. The survey responses will be used for non-random allocation to either the intervention group (Daily Mile schools) or to the control group (non-Daily Mile schools). We aim to recruit 3533 year 1 children (aged 5–6 years) from 77 primary schools and follow them up annually until the end of their primary school years. Data collection taking place at baseline (children in school year 1) and each primary school year thereafter includes device-based measures of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and questionnaires to measure mental health (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire) and educational attainment (ratings from ‘below expected’ to ‘above expected levels’). The primary outcome is the mean change in MVPA minutes from baseline to year 6 during the school day among the intervention group compared with controls. We will use multilevel linear regression models adjusting for sociodemographic data and participation in TDM. The study is powered to detect a 10% (5.5 min) difference between the intervention and control group which would be considered clinically significant.Ethics and dissemination Ethics has been approved from Imperial College Research Ethics Committee, reference 20IC6127. Key findings will be disseminated to the public through research networks, social, print and media broadcasts, community engagement opportunities and schools. We will work with policy-makers for direct application and impact of our findings.

LINGUISTIC PORTRAITING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIA IN THE PRESS OF RUSSIA AND GERMANY

S. Serebriakova, A. Milostivaya

The article studies verbal means describing the COVID-19 pandemic in Russian and German print press. The topicality of the study is associated with critical discourse analysis of the media content within the framework of the spread of coronavirus infection in the irst half of 2020. At the same time, attention is focused not only on the formal linguistic features of the newspaper text, but also on extralinguistic factors of its production, which made it possible to study the wide communicative background of the text. It appears to be especially important for studies of socially signiicant events affecting both individual countries and the global world as a whole. The scientiic novelty is determined by the fact that the article for the irst time speciies communicative-pragmatic potential of speech methods used in portraying a pandemic in the press of Russia and Germany. The authors proceed from the assumption that in addition to the content-factual information in the press every time axio-logical assessment of the reported information is actualized. Therefore, in the process of persuasiveness study in news- paper discourse, it is relevant to consider communicative strategies for presenting depicted denotative content. The main research method in this article is discourse analysis based on the principle of functionalism. At the same time, the research was focused on the interpretation of linguistic manipulation devices in press coverage of the two countries in the period of the coronavirus pandemic: introduction of factual information into a negatively assessed context, personalization in presentation of negative consequences of the described phenomenon, portrayal of evidence as guilt, correlation of unmotivated similarities with negatively assessed entity, choice of measure units as a tool of linguistic manipulation, imposing of presupposition that does not require critical discussion, use of metaphors for persuasive purposes, link to an unknown source of information.

Ageing agony: Rape against elderly women

Mamta Patel

Introduction: Rape is a type of sexual assault and brutal, demeaning, cruel act perpetrated without concern. Despite extensive research on rape, especially in India, there exists an important gap in knowledge around elderly victims. The rapist has been considered by many clinicians as the victim of uncontrollable urges or the recipient of a disordered personality. Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the situation during the commission of the crime and what was the relationship between the victim and the offender in committing the heinous crime. Methods: In this research, data were obtained from print media and electronic media from 2004 to 2018. A total number of 49 cases were found reported during this period of work. This study is based on quantitative findings using the unobtrusive method of content analysis. The elderly women aged 60 and above were taken for the study. Results: The results show that cruelty was involved in more than one-fourth of the cases. In most of the cases, victims were targeted as they were alone in their homes. In some cases, the offenders were found in a state of inebriation at the time of the crime. The crime was committed mostly by the impulsive type rapist. Conclusions: The findings challenge the social norms and have implications for future research, policy, and practice.

Engaging Users through Social Media in Public Libraries

Hongbo Zou, Hsuanwei Michelle Chen, Sharmistha Dey

The participatory library is an emerging concept which refers to the idea that an integrated library system must allow users to take part in core functions of the library rather than engaging on the periphery. To embrace the participatory idea, libraries have employed many technologies, such as social media to help them build participatory services and engage users. To help librarians understand the impact of emerging technologies on a participatory service building, this paper takes social media as an example to explore how to use different engagement strategies that social media provides to engage more users. This paper provides three major contributions to the library system. The libraries can use the resultant engagement strategies to engage its users. Additionally, the best-fit strategy can be inferred and designed based on the preferences of users. Lastly, the preferences of users can be understood based on data analysis of social media. Three such contributions put together to fully address the proposed research question of how to use different engagement strategies on social media to build participatory library services and better engage more users visiting the library?

Quasi-experimental Designs for Assessing Response on Social Media to Policy Changes

Yijun Tian, Rumi Chunara

Regulation of tobacco products is rapidly evolving. Understanding public sentiment in response to changes is very important as authorities assess how to effectively protect population health. Social media systems are widely recognized to be useful for collecting data about human preferences and perceptions. However, how social media data may be used, in rapid policy change settings, given challenges of narrow time periods and specific locations and non-representative the population using social media is an open question. In this paper we apply quasi-experimental designs, which have been used previously in observational data such as social media, to control for time and location confounders on social media, and then use content analysis of Twitter and Reddit posts to illustrate the content of reactions to tobacco flavor bans and the effect of taxation on e-cigarettes. Conclusions distill the potential role of social media in settings of rapidly changing regulation, in complement to what is learned by traditional denominator-based representative surveys.

Mining social media data for biomedical signals and health-related behavior

Rion Brattig Correia, Ian B. Wood, Johan Bollen et al.

Social media data has been increasingly used to study biomedical and health-related phenomena. From cohort level discussions of a condition to planetary level analyses of sentiment, social media has provided scientists with unprecedented amounts of data to study human behavior and response associated with a variety of health conditions and medical treatments. Here we review recent work in mining social media for biomedical, epidemiological, and social phenomena information relevant to the multilevel complexity of human health. We pay particular attention to topics where social media data analysis has shown the most progress, including pharmacovigilance, sentiment analysis especially for mental health, and other areas. We also discuss a variety of innovative uses of social media data for health-related applications and important limitations in social media data access and use.

Trends and success stories in research on occupational and environmental health

Mikko Härmä

The headline in a main Finnish newspaper on 16 November announced: “Trust and interest for published science has increased in Finland”. I would have hypothesized that evidence-based knowledge was losing the game against the rush of non-scientific and commercial information – but I was wrong. A 3-year follow-up survey among the Finland population was clear on this. Could the growth in electronic and social media information actually be causing people to search for knowledge based on scientific facts? Forty-five years have passed since the publication of the first issue of the Scandinavian Journal of Work, ­Environment & Health (SJWEH) in January 1975. The Journal is unique due to its non-profit profile in a sea of large, commercial publishing house journals. With a current impact factor of 3.491, SJWEH is recognized for its high quality and interesting content. The main aim of the Journal has always been to promote good and impactful research in the field of occupational and environmental health and safety. The Journal makes a difference by providing its readership with innovative topics, systematic reviews on existing knowledge, and papers using advanced research methods. Over the years, the scientific focus areas of occupational research, research methods, and academic publishing have undergone major changes. In fact, the Journal’s transformation over more than four decades can be used as a good example of how occupational research and publishing policy has adapted to the new trends in scientific knowledge and information technology. Well-known professor of epidemiology and specialist in occupational medicine, Sven Hernberg was the first Editor-in-Chief (EC) of the Journal. SJWEH was based on earlier ancestor journals (1), but in practice Sven had to start from scratch both scientifically and economically. Together with Sven, Markku Nurminen, epidemiologist and biostatistician, and native English-speaking copy editor Georgianna Oja belonged to the first editing team. SJWEH was launched as the joint activity of the Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish national research institutes. Even though the Journal’s main focus in the beginning was on occupational medicine, toxicology and epidemiology, Sven wanted to support some developing fields of research at the time such as research of musculoskeletal disorders and biological monitoring. He was interested in preventive actions and the initialization of long follow-up studies in occupational medicine (2). The very first SJWEH paper was a review on neurophysiological methods (3). The first paper on psychosocial factors, published by Theorell in 1977, was on the association of psychosocial factors in concrete work with myocardial infarction (4). Based on the 20 “citation classics” (defined as publications with ≥100 citations) of the five most distinguished occupational medicine journals (5), citation classics dealing with toxicology were published in each decade during those times. However, well-cited papers on solvents appeared only during the 1970s and 1980s and were instrumental in the phasing out of organic solvents-based paints. Citations classics on work-related musculoskeletal disorders emerged in the 1980s and gained in popularity in the later decades (5). Compared to other occupational health journals, SJWEH had the second highest number of citation classics during the early decades of its existence. With >900 citations in Scopus, a 1993 paper on the association of psychosocial factors with musculoskeletal diseases by Bongers (6) was among one of the most cited. I took up the position of Assistant EC after Markku in 1994. During the next few years, Sven and I updated our editing processes. A new electronic publishing system was created in 1998, making it possible to shift to a joint co-editor model. Several new Associate Editors (AE) were brought on board, increasing the expertise of the Journal significantly and making the editing process more interactive. Eira Viikari-Juntura, Petter Kristensen, Per Malmberg, Thomas Schneider, Lars Hagmar, Michiel Kompier, Kjell Larson, and Gunnar Aronson joined the Journal in the first wave starting 1999–2000. When Sven retired at the end of 1999, I became the EC sharing, however, the key management and decision-making together with Eira, who took on the role of Assistant EC in 2000. As a supplement to the paper version, an electronic version of the Journal was launched in 2001. In his last editorial before retiring (7), Sven emphasized the significance of the need to shift the focus to new areas of research. While traditional occupational diseases were – and still are – a burden in many countries, he highlighted that the main roadblock in their remedy is not additional research but implementation of already existing knowledge (7). Taking the lead, we started to focus on new areas where existing knowledge was not great, especially psychosocial issues and musculoskeletal disorders, while maintaining a strong presence in epidemiological and clinical research on occupational epidemiology. During the 1990s, we had already started to publish editorials and reviews in all issues of the Journal. Several of the latter became citation classics, for example those on exposure assessment and musculoskeletal issues by Burdorf (8) and Burdorf & Sorock (9) and a review on shift work and cardiovascular diseases by Bøggild & Knutsson (10). We also published consensus reports on key issues like the new Helsinki criteria for diagnosis and attribution on asbestos, asbestosis and cancer (11), extensively cited later, up to its update a few years ago (12), and special issues on growing research areas like work-related stress: health-risks, mechanisms and countermeasures (13) and shift work and health (14). These special issues included several reviews that also became citation classics. The review on psychosocial factors and mental health by Stansfeld & Candy (15), in particular, has been cited >900 times based on Scopus, as well as a review on work stress and coronary heart disease by Kivimäki and colleagues (16) (>500 times). During the 2000s, in addition to relevance, emphasis was placed on shortening article processing time and improving accessibility of the Journal (17). Some new AE were brought onto the team to improve the Journal’s expertise in new key research areas. Being among the key scientists publishing and actively reviewing for the Journal, Alex Burdorf, Bengt Järvholm, Göran Kecklund, Jos Verbeek, Hannu Norppa, Antero Aitio, and Jens Peter Bonde all started as new AE. To speed up the flow of manuscripts and improve accessibility, we shifted to a full electronic submission and review process and launched the ”online first” policy, making all papers open access until their publication in the print version. These efforts, along with higher quality submissions increased citations and raised the impact factor. When Georgianna retired in 2009, Lisa O’Donoqhue-Lindy started as the new Managing Editor. In addition to being responsible for copy editing, Lisa promoted the electronic and open access services of the Journal and has always been very active in its development and benchmarking against other journals. From 2008 to today, the impact factor of the Journal has doubled, and currently we hold a close second among all journals in the field of occupational and environmental health. During the same period, the number of submitted papers has doubled allowing us to be more selective and publish only the best research, which is depicted in the current acceptance rate of 15%. Since the beginning of 2012, the non-profit Nordic Association of Occupational Safety and Health (NOROSH) has published the Journal. As earlier, the Nordic research institutes play a key role as founding members of NOROSH. Papers published on epidemiology, especially those associated with psychosocial factors (18–21), long working hours and shift work (22–26), as well as papers on musculoskeletal disorders, physical activity, work careers and return-to-work (27–31) performed better than average with respect to citations. However, papers introducing or using new methodologies (32–34) have gained much attention, too. The last two years have been historical for the Journal for several reasons. Sven sadly passed away (2). When Eira retired as Assistant EC in 2018, Alex Burdorf, Head of the Department of Public Health at Erasmus University Medical Centre joined me as co-EC. And when I decided to step down at end of 2019, Reiner Rugulies, Professor of Psychosocial Issues and Mental Health at the Danish National Research Centre for the Working Environment became EC alongside Lex, after earlier having been an AE. I will continue as an AE for the topics of shift work and working hours. In the meantime, several new AE have joined the team: Karin Broberg, Håkan Wallin, David Lombardi, Karl-Christian Nordby, Carel Hulshof, Susanne Svendsen, Hermann Burr and Vivi Schlünssen several years ago, and, more recently, Annina Ropponen, Henrik Kolstad, Cécile Boot, and Paul Kuijer. In the future, as the editorial team has pointed out, the Journal will place greater emphasis on scientific quality and innovative research topics and methods (35). Staying ahead of the Open Science Movement, we recently decided to take the important step towards becoming a fully fledged open access journal. Starting in 2020, open access will be by opt-out only and in 2022, we will publish 100% unlocked content. Thus the Scandinavian Journal of Work, Environment & Health will remain a relevant, high-quality, non-profit scientific journal that is unique in many ways. References 1. Smith DR.

CHNS: A case study of turbulence in elastic media

Xiang Fan, P. H. Diamond, L. Chacón

Recent progress in the study of Cahn-Hilliard Navier-Stokes (CHNS) turbulence is summarized. This is an example of \textit{elastic turbulence}, which can occur in elastic (i.e. self-restoring) media. Such media exhibit memory due freezing-in laws, as does MHD, which in turn constrains the dynamics. We report new results in the theory of CHNS turbulence in 2D, with special emphasis on the role of structure (i.e. `blob') formation and its interaction with the dual cascade. The evolution of a concentration gradient in response to a single eddy -- analogous to flux expulsion in MHD -- is analyzed. Lessons learned are discussed in the context of MHD and other elastic media.

Relevancy Classification of Multimodal Social Media Streams for Emergency Services

Ganesh Nalluru, Rahul Pandey, Hemant Purohit

Social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. During time-critical events, the public shares a variety of posts on social media including reports for resource needs, damages, and help offerings for the affected community. Such posts can be relevant and may contain valuable situational awareness information. However, the information overload of social media challenges the timely processing and extraction of relevant information by the emergency services. Furthermore, the growing usage of multimedia content in the social media posts in recent years further adds to the challenge in timely mining relevant information from social media. In this paper, we present a novel method for multimodal relevancy classification of social media posts, where relevancy is defined with respect to the information needs of emergency management agencies. Specifically, we experiment with the combination of semantic textual features with the image features to efficiently classify a relevant multimodal social media post. We validate our method using an evaluation of classifying the data from three real-world crisis events. Our experiments demonstrate that features based on the proposed hybrid framework of exploiting both textual and image content improve the performance of identifying relevant posts. In the light of these experiments, the application of the proposed classification method could reduce cognitive load on emergency services, in filtering multimodal public posts at large scale.
