Predicting disease outbreaks: evaluating measles infection with Wikipedia Trends.
2019
The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the temporal correlation between Wikitrends and conventional surveillance data generated for measles infection reported by bulletin of Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS). The reported cases of measles were selected from July 2015 to October 2018. Wikipedia Trends was used to assess how many times a specific page was read by users, data were extracted as daily data and aggregated on a weekly and monthly basis. The following data were extracted: number of views by users from 1 July 2015 to 31 October 2018 of the Morbillo, Vaccinazione del Morbillo, Vaccinazione MPR and Macchie di Koplik pages (Measles, Measles Vaccination, MPR Vaccination and Kopl…

mBISON: Finding miRNA target over-representation in gene lists from ChIP-sequencing data
2015
Background Over-representation of predicted miRNA targets in sets of genes regulated by a given transcription factor (e.g. as defined by ChIP-sequencing experiments) helps to identify biologically relevant miRNA targets and is useful to get insight into post-transcriptional regulation. Findings To facilitate the application of this approach we have created the mBISON web-application. mBISON calculates the significance of over-representation of miRNA targets in a given non-ranked gene set. The gene set can be specified either by a list of genes or by one or more ChIP-seq datasets followed by a user-defined peak-gene association procedure. mBISON is based on predictions from TargetScan and us…
Teknologian rooli meditaatioharjoittelussa
2016
Informaatioteknologian kehitys on mahdollistanut meditaatioharjoitteiden tehokkaan leviämisen länsimaisten kulttuurien ulottuville. Digitaalisissa ympäristöissä informaatio leviää erittäin tehokkaasti ja meditaatioharjoitteisiin liittyvään informaatioon törmääminen onkin todennäköisempää kuin koskaan aikaisemmin. Meditoinnin ollaan havaittu edistävän hyvinvointia useilla elämän osa-alueilla ja tuloksien käytännönläheinen soveltaminen edistyy jatkuvasti. Vuosien saatossa informaatioteknologiaa on kehitetty lukuisiin asiayhteyksiin, eikä meditaatioharjoittelu ole jäänyt teknologisen kehityskulun ulkopuolelle. Markkinoilla liikkuu lukuisia erilaisia meditaatioharjoittelua tukevia sovelluksia, …
Latvijas Republikas Ministru prezidenta Artura Krišjāņa Kariņa tēls interneta ziņu portālu Delfi.lv un Tvnet.lv publikācijās un to lietotāju komentār…
2020
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādu tēlu Latvijas Republikas Ministru prezidentam Arturam Krišjānim Kariņam ir veidojuši Latvijā apmeklētākie interneta ziņu portāli – Delfi.lv un Tvnet.lv, kā arī salīdzināt publikācijās un to lietotāju komentāros identificēto tēlu. Mērķa sasniegšanai izvirzīti pieci pētnieciskie jautājumi, uz kuriem atbildes meklētas, balstoties uz teoriju par politisko komunikāciju, interneta ziņu portāliem, Klausa Mertena tēla teoriju un īstenoto pētījumu, kurā veikta arī interneta ziņu portālu lietotāju aptauja, kā arī izmantots Čārlza Osguda semantiskais diferenciālis. Rezultātā atklāts tēls divu interneta ziņu portālu publikācijās un to lietotāju komentāros.
Integrated Domain Model for Digital Rights Management
2004
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is an issue of controlling and managing digital rights over intellectual property. It has recently broadened its scope from being merely a content protection concern to description, identification, trading, protection, monitoring and tracking of rights over tangible or intangible assets. In our study we found out an essential problem of the domain: lack of models on an appropriate level of abstraction needed to support research and system development. Modelling, identifying and describing the core entities enable the rights management functionalities. This chapter contributes in recognizing the principal entities and providing detailed description on current …
Determining the indicators of social capital theory to social network sites
2014
The authors theoretical research provided a framework to define and measure social capital in social network sites. This paper determining with a qualitative method the theoretical dimensions of this framework. The result of this paper is the explanation of social capital theory in social network sites under the consideration of the identified indicators. The sample for this case is students, and the research needs further confirmation by other samples and methods. But this paper gives a first interesting insight in social network sites explained with the social capital theory and provides a first guidance for further research projects.
"Engaging migrants in e-consultations: a way to recognize their political rights and identity", in Angelini A. (2011) (a cura di), Migrants, Cultural…
2011
This chapter reflects on the role of the new media – the Internet and mobile communications – in facilitating alternative forms of public participation that involve citizens and migrants in the policy making. The e-consultation, in this way, becomes not only a means of investigation for informational purposes and data collection, but also a method to foster knowledge of the needs and perspectives of migrants to a given law or public intervention and, therefore, a realistic way that get informed foreigners too, to develop an alternative procedure of social and cultural integration.
