Facebook’s ad hoc groups: a potential source of communicative power of networked citizens
2017
Ad hoc groups (sporadically formed on social network sites for achieving particular common objectives) have been seen as a public space for citizen participation and debate. This study focuses on Facebook’s ad hoc groups in Finland. The aim is to detect the potential of these groups to enhance networked citizens’ communicative power for raising societally important issues to public agenda and initiate changes in society. We suggest a categorization of the groups according to their missions, and present their members’ specific motivations and objectives through an online survey. Despite the general entertainment-orientation and self-referential nature of social media, the results show that a…
Issues of Ethics and Methods in Studying Social Media
2016
The Editorial raises some challenging ethical and methodological aspects of Internet based research (such as protection of informational privacy, informed consent, general ethical guidelines vs case-based approach), which are further discussed in the five articles of this special issue.

The overstated generational gap in online news use? A consolidated infrastructural perspective
2021
Recent research by Taneja et al. suggested that digital infrastructures diminish the generational gap in news use by counteracting preference structures. We expand on this seminal work by arguing that an infrastructural perspective requires overcoming limitations of highly aggregated web tracking data used in prior research. We analyze the individual browsing histories of two representative samples of German Internet users collected in 2012 ( N = 2970) and 2018 ( N = 2045) and find robust evidence for a smaller generational gap in online news use than commonly assumed. While short news website visits mostly demonstrated infrastructural factors, longer news use episodes were shaped more by …
Remiksēšanas kultūra tiešsaistē: latviešu radītu mēmu Facebook lapu analīze
2016
Bakalaura darba „Remiksēšanas kultūra tiešsaistē: latviešu radītu mēmu Facebook lapu analīze” mērķis ir izpētīt latviešu radītu Facebook mēmu lapu saturu un auditorijas reakciju uz to. Darba pētnieciskais jautājums - vai mēmu saturs Facebook lapās Dainu skapis, Depresīvais latvietis un Esi kā Valdis ir saprotams un smieklīgs? Teorijā ir apkopota literatūra par internetu, remiksēšanas kultūru, interneta mēmiem un humoru tajos. Pētījumā izmantotās metodes ir kvalitatīvā un kvantitatīvā kontentanalīze, fokusgrupas diskusija un semiotiskā analīze. Bakalaura darba galvenais secinājums: latviešu radītie mēmi ir veidoti, balstoties uz mūsdienu jauniešu interesēm un leksiku, kas vecākiem cilvēkiem …
Online Stakeholder Interaction of Some Airlines in the Light of Situational Crisis Communication Theory
2016
Part 2: Digital Marketing and Customer Relationship Management; International audience; The purpose of this paper is to explore the participation of main actors in Facebook. The engagement shows different degrees of participation that directly affect the brand image and reputation. This research applies Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT) to interaction in the social media. It provides possibilities for decision makers to monitor diverse messages online, understand stakeholder concerns and reply to them adequately, which is especially important in crisis situations. Seven airline organizations were selected for a comparative analysis concerning their online discussions. The verif…
A mathematical study on effective wavenumber, an operative computation procedure, and its use with radiance-temperature relationships
2003
In this paper we study the existence of effective wavenumber for any sensor by means of simple mathematics. We implement a numeric algorithm, based on the developed mathematical background, into a computer program named 'srf2radi', which is freely available via anonymous File Transfer Protocol (FTP) at ftp://ftp.uv.es/pub/src/. The number of effective wavenumbers for each temperature and their accuracy are also computed and studied for NOAA-16 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer Version 3 (AVHRR/3) channel 4. These effective wavenumbers can be used to obtain radiance-temperature relationships with physical meaning for any sensor in user-defined temperature intervals.
Web-based real-time data acquisition system as tool for energy efficiency monitoring
2013
A web-based data acquisition system is proposed as a research tool of the energy efficiency monitoring project of the test stands. Basic requirements for the architecture of the data acquisition system are discussed. The architecture of the data acquisition system is proposed to provide the real-time interface with sensors, to acquire and to log data from all sensors with fixed rate, and to deliver logged data through FTP to the end-user.
Design of a virtual instrument for water quality monitoring across the Internet
2001
Abstract This article presents the design of a new distributed and multi-platform system for water quality monitoring, enhanced with powerful Internet capabilities. The measured variables are temperature, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and electrical conductivity. The signal-conditioning block has been simplified through the use of software routines for thermal compensation, hence, reducing the cost and dimensions. The system offers a wide variety of Internet capabilities, like e-mail alarm notifications, automatic storage of measured data in a remote machine via the FTP protocol, dynamic generation of HTML reports, real time graphs, and indicators visible from a remote web browser, etc. …
