  • The main objective of this paper is to probe the extent to which misinformation propagated through the different social media platforms contribute effectively in the process of directing, shaping and reshaping societal awareness of Saudis. In so doing, this paper attempts to delve into the relationship between linguistic misinformation and societal awareness, by exploring the perception of Saudis towards social media news, particularly misinformation and the extent to which this misinformation influences the social attitudes of Saudis in terms of various societal issues. Two main research questions are addressed in this study. First, to what extent does social media misinformation affect Saudis' awareness? Second, what are the linguistic manifestations of misinformation presented in the different social platforms? Two main findings have been recorded in this study: first, misinformation significantly contributes to the societal awareness of Saudis; and, second, however misinformation is linguistically manifested at the different levels of linguistic analysis, it is highly representative at the lexicalization level of language use.

  • 실시간 동작 애니메이션을 생성하는 기술은 게임, 영화, 의료 등 많은 분야에서 활용할 수 있는 기술이다. 기존에는 마커를 부착하는 모션캡처 방식이 사용되어왔지만 비용, 편의성 등의 문제로 쉽게 사용될 수 없었다. 최근 딥러닝 기술의 발전으로 영상을 통해 사람의 신체 관절 좌표를 추정할 수 있게 되면서 여러가지 방식으로 연구되어 왔다. RGB-D 카메라 등을 통해 얻는 깊이 영상으로부터 3 차원 관절 좌표를 추정하는 방식이 연구되고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 방식을 통해 실시간 동작 애니메이션을 생성하고 가상공간에 표출하는 시스템을 구현한다.

  • The school library media specialists offer the users assistance in using information resources and instructional media by assessing, evaluating and selecting the most appropriate materials for the present educational situation in school. The format of the information media and the scope of the media center collection have constantly been changed by information technology. Media specialist has to know the selection criteria to be capable of providing any media format in the technological society, particularly of providing instruction software(courseware), multimedia, hypermedia and digital reference service to maintain the school library media center as one of the user oriented educational information centers. This paper presents the selection criteria for the instruction media by media format as one of the useful guidelines to the media specialist.

  • Purpose: This research aims to explain the influence of social media influencer (SMI), electronic word of mouth (EWOM), and perceived quality (PQ) on purchase intention (PI) of beauty products on YouTube. Youtube as the number 1 social media in Indonesia, has an important role as a promotional strategy media for beauty products. Research design, data and methodology: This study used the online survey to 210 female respondents aged 17-30 years who became a subscriber of an Indonesian beauty influencer. Simple regression and multiple regressions were performed to analyze the independent variables towards the dependent variable. Results: The results show that social media influencer, electronic word of mouth, and perceived quality simultaneously have a significant influence on purchase intention. Nevertheless, only two variables individually have a significant influence on purchase intention, which is social media influencer and perceived quality. Conclusions: Perceived quality and social media influencer could be the best strategies to increase consumers when promoting through the influencer's Youtube channel by utilizing a subscriber. While e-WOM can be influential on other social media platforms rather than on the Youtube platform. Therefore, suggested that digital marketer must use multiple social media platforms to increase consumers' purchase intention.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between media richness, media usefulness, media experience and media decision in order to identify factors that determine the media of school library in solving performance evaluation tasks. For this purpose, 132 primary and middle school students were surveyed and their structural equation was set up by hypothesis setting, validity test, and causal model. As a result, it was confirmed that media experience of school library is a major factor in media decision. Also, media richness and media experience appeared to influence media decision through media usefulness. The analysis implies that school library is centered on teaching - learning process and evaluation, so information literacy education should be carried out in school curriculum and school library is required to provide students experience on media as the center of school education.

Images of Decomposition of Hydrogen Peroxide Demonstration Represented in New Media Contents: Focusing on Simulacra and Simulation (뉴미디어 콘텐츠에서 재현되는 과산화수소 분해 실험의 이미지 -시뮬라크르와 시뮬라시옹을 중심으로-)

  • This study attempted to understand the characteristics of images of scientific experiments represented and consumed on YouTube, a representative of today's new media. In particular, this paper analyzes the case studies of YouTube's hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiment based on Baudrillard's theory of Simulation and Simulacra, which discusses the strong status of images and the ambiguity of the boundary between virtual and reality. A total of 14 YouTube videos related to hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiments were analyzed. In those videos, hydrogen peroxide decomposition experiments were typically conducted with several signs representing scientific experiments, but the most important sign in the videos were bubbles produced through experiments. For more public consumption of the content, the bubbles resulted from hydrogen peroxide decomposition reproduced in YouTube have been transformed into a more spectacular image as 'super-huge' and 'explosive' bubble. Considering the influence of new media that can be accessed by students anytime and anywhere, it is positive that science experiments in new media enhance students' intimacy and access to science. At the same time, however, it is also important to note the danger that the purpose of scientific experiments will be limited to only 'showing specular images', due to the nature of new media, which mainly deals with immediate and superficial images. Furthermore, this study argues that improving students' science media literacy is required to critically examine the science-related images represented in the new media based on understanding the characteristics and limitations of new media that deeply affect daily life.

  • The objective of this research is to analyze which functions make up web-based as well as mobile social media services and messengers. Services are clustered by their functionality. A total of 640 individual functions were identified, while investigating altogether 44 selected services in their web and mobile versions. Applying content analysis, functions were assigned to the services. The services were ranked by the number of implemented functions, and the functions were ranked by their occurrence in the services. Cluster analysis was applied to classify the services according to their functionality. Facebook and VKontakte were found to be the ones with the most functions; the most frequently implemented functions are support, profile, and account-related. Cluster analysis revealed six classes for mobile and seven classes for web applications. There is a noteworthy difference regarding the functionality scope between web and mobile applications of the same services. An example for this is Mendeley with 38 functions in the mobile and 91 functions in the web version. This is the first empirical attempt at clustering social media services based on their functionality.

  • 본 논문은 펌웨어와 인공지능을 이용하여 지형의 사각지대를 이동하며 순찰 및 방범의 목적을 지닌 시스템을 소개하기 위함에 있다. 기존의 보안 시스템은 비상 상황 발생 시 인력이 직접 출동하여 상황을 해결함으로써 날로 증가하는 최저임금을 고려했을 때 이들의 인건비를 감당하기 어렵다는 단점이 있다. [1] 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 앱 개발을 통해 RC카를 제어하는 아두이노와 연결하여 자율주행을 하게끔 하는 시스템을 개발했다. 또한, 라즈베리파이 웹캠을 부착해 실시간으로 현장을 촬영하여 사용자가 웹에만 접속하면 현장을 모두 감시할 수 있도록 시스템을 개발하였고, 단시간 푸리에 변환(STFT)을 통해 얻은 음성 데이터 변환맵을 인공지능 프로세서인 인텔리노에 학습 데이터로 학습시킨 후에 주변 환경에서 비명 소리만 감지할 수 있도록 시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 시스템들이 기존의 인건비 증가에 대한 문제점을 해소할 수 있다고 생각하여 더욱 효율적으로 방범이 가능한 시스템을 소개한다.
