The proliferation of health misinformation gained momentum amidst the outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). People stuck in their homes, without work pressure, regardless of health concerns towards personal, family, or peer groups, consistently demanded information. People became engaged with misinformation while attempting to find health information content. This study used the content analysis method and analyzed 1,154 misinformation stories from four prominent signatories of the International Fact-Checking Network during the pandemic. The study finds the five main categories of misinformation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These are 1) the severity of the virus, 2) cure, prevention, and treatment, 3) myths and rumors about vaccines, 4) health authorities' guidelines, and 5) personal and social impacts. Various sub-categories supported the content characteristics of these categories. The study also analyzed the emotional valence of health misinformation. It was found that misinformation containing negative sentiments got higher engagement during the pandemic. Positive and neutral sentiment misinformation has less reach. Surprise, fear, and anger/aggressive emotions highly affected people during the pandemic; in general, people and social media users warning people to safeguard themselves from COVID-19 and creating a confusing state were found as the primary motivation behind the propagation of misinformation. The present study offers valuable perspectives on the mechanisms underlying the spread of health-related misinformation amidst the COVID-19 outbreak. It highlights the significance of discerning the accuracy of information and the feelings it conveys in minimizing the adverse effects on the well-being of public health.

Cette recherche a pour objectif d'analyser les valeurs pragmatiques complexes de l'acte de compliment et d'en élucider les caractéristiques des catégories complexes en classant selon ces valeurs les divers types de compliment. Quant à la perspective théorique, nous avons essentiellement adopté la théorie de la politesse de C. Kerbrat-Orecchioni. Le produit de ce travail est détaillé en cinq chapitres comme ci-après : Dans le premier chapitre, nous avons introduit l'objectif et le contenu résumé de cet article. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous avons introduit brièvement la théorie de la politesse de Kerbrat-Orecchioni et proposé la nécessité de réexaminer la catégorie d'acte du compliment qu'elle a considéré comme représentatif des FFA (Face Flattering Acts). Dans le troisième chapitre, nous avons insisté sur le fait que le compliment peut être réalisé suivant les situations d'énonciation et/ou les intentions du locuteur au moins avec les trois valeurs pragmatiques, c'est-à-dire la valeur de FFA, la valeur de FTA, la valeur mixte de FFA/FTA, contrairement à l'opinion de Kerbrat-Orecchioni. Dans le quatrième chapitre, nous avons classé selon ces valeurs complexes les types de compliment : le vrai compliment et le compliment rituel comme FFA, le compliment ironique comme FTA, le compliment perfide, le compliment flatteur, le compliment en séduction et le compliment commercial comme FFA/FTA. Ce qui pourrait corroborer notre opinion. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous avons proposé de réexaminer la fonction de politesse positive du compliment considéré comme sa fonction pragmatique typique, parce que le compliment peut être utilisé dans quelques situations d'énonciation comme amadoueur, un des marqueurs de la politesse négative qui ont pour fonction d'adoucir la valeur de FTA.

The paper is to analyze multi-attributes for expanding new renewable energy in agricultural sectors which have environmental, technical, economic, and social factors consisting of 15 attributes which have both positive and negative impacts. We applied the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to data from opinion polls. As a result of the AHP survey, the overall results indicate that the respondents more weight on economical factor than environmental, technical, and social factors for expanding new renewable energy. At the lowest level, a comparison of individual 15 attributes within three factors shows that fixed cost highest in multi-attributes, followed by operating cost, technical superiority. To achieve the public acceptance about expanding new renewable energy in agricultural sectors, the policy-makers should take all relevant factors into account through the decision-making process by the public opinions.

Through text mining, sentiment analysis, and semiotics analysis, this study aims to reinterpret the meaning of user emotional words and related words to derive strategic elements of brand and design. After selecting a local car manufacturer whose user opinion on the brand is a clear topic, web-crawl the car comments of the manufacturer directly created by the users online. Then, analyze the extracted morphology and its associated words and convert them to fit the marketing mix theory. Through this process, propose a methodology that allows consumers to supplement and improve brand elements with negative sensibilities, and to inherit elements with positive sensibilities and manage brands reasonably. In particular, the Map presented in this study are considered to be fully utilized as information for overall brand management.

Managing apartments is critical not only to handling the physical deterioration over time, but also to the quality of community life, social environment and ultimately residents' satisfaction with the housing environment. Therefore, this study aims at understanding residents' awareness of apartment management, and finding the relationship between management activities and residents' satisfaction and participation by comparing an apartment with active management and an apartment without it. This study examines 1) management activities of two subject apartment complexes, and 2) how management activities affect residents' participation and satisfaction. Surveys were conducted of the residents, and SPSS statistics package was utilized to analyze the survey data. This study found that management activities of apartment complex have positive influence on residents' participation and satisfaction with their housing environment. The results of this study can be utilized as basic materials to develop effective guidelines and manual from the perspective of environmental management of apartment houses, in order to improve the participation of the residents in the apartment management.

This study was attempted to investigate the relationship between fashion leadership and self-confidence. Self-confidence was measured with Kim's Personality Scale, and fashion leadership was assessed with Hirschman and Adcock's questionnaire. These questionnaires were administered to 412 unmarried women in Taegu. For statistical analysis, the Pearson's Product-moment correlation coefficients, F-test, and Scheffe test were used. The results were as follows: 1. There was highly significant relationship between fashion opinion leadership and fashion innovativeness. 2. There was significant positive relationship between fashion leadership and self-confide-rice. 3. There was significant difference in self-confidence between innovative communicators and non-innovative communicators.

But, the canal system accounts rfor 25% of the total moving goods. One of its main goals is to reduce overland transportation costs were 30% more expensive than moving goods over water. We plan to build a Korea inland canal system and need to from a scheme of building a multi canal. We should consider positive aspect of this plan, on the other hand a study of the conal's environmental impact is required prior to beginning any construction. Finally, offer our opinion on the vision of Korea inland canal that aspect5 of national land development.

This paper deals with a thrust generation of flapping-airfoil by dynamic stall. From many other previous research results, phase angle $ between pitching and plunging mode of flapping motion must be 90 deg. to satisfy maximum propulsive efficiency. In this case, leading edge vortex is relatively small. This phenomenon is related dynamic stall. So preventing leading edge vortex induced by dynamic stall guarantees maximum propulsive efficiency. But, in this paper we insist the leading edge vortex yields quite a positive influence on thrust generation and propulsive efficiency. In order to certify our opinion, pitching and plunging motions were calculated with the parameter of amplitude and frequency by using the unsteady, incompressible Navier-Stokes flow solver with a two-equation turbulence model. For more efficient computation, it is parallelized by MPI programming method.

This paper explains how we define and represent modality in E-HowNet. Following Lyons (1977, reviewed in Hsieh 2003, among others), we hold that modals express a speaker's opinion or attitude toward a proposition and hence have a pragmatic dimension and recognize five kinds of modal categories, i.e. epistemic, deontic, ability, volition and expectation modality. We then present a representational formalism that contains the three most basic components of modal meaning: modal category, positive or negative and strength. Such a formula can define not only modal words but also words that contain modal meanings and cope with co-compositions of modals and the negation construction.
