Narratives are essential to the human sense-making process, and have sparked interest across multidisciplinary fields including Computer Science. However, efforts to unify terminology and identify core narrative requirements are limited, ...

• Exploratory study on prosodic features in speech production of 4-year-olds with SCT.
• Children with SCT exhibit pitch mastery and pitch boundary profile comparable to TD peers.
• Significant differences in melodic modulation and ...

Although language delays are common in children with sex chromosome trisomies [SCT], no studies have analysed their prosodic abilities. Considering the importance of prosody in communication, this exploratory study aims to analyse the prosodic ...

Take a deep breath; what do you smell? While sight and hearing dominate our perceptions, the sense of smell is often overlooked, even undervalued. However, the importance of our sense of smell goes beyond detecting odours. It shapes our emotions, ...

Our world is shaped by events of various complexity. This includes both small-scale local events like local farmer markets and large complex events like political and military conflicts. The latter are typically not observed directly but through the ...

This study explores implementation of Data Lake for Big data analytics marked by intervention of quasi-outsourcing personnel. Though an agentic interventionist, it takes place in an active Multinational Consumer Goods company (MCGC) of socially ...

As the digital era unfolds, social media supported by mobile devices and AI technologies are rapidly changing the way people communicate. The impact of public opinion formed on the social network platforms often has an enormous and somehow long-lasting ...

While the research on Augmented Reality (AR) predominantly emphasises technical advancements in devices, visualisation, and interactivity, it often overlooks the perspectives of everyday users regarding the integration of AR into their daily practices, ...

This workshop offers an immersive exploration of ethical co-design practices with indigenous communities, addressing communication barriers and co-constructing a Rural Community Engagement Framework. Seasoned facilitators guide participants through ...

People see the world and convey their perception of it with narratives. In an information system context, stories are told and collected when the systems are developed. Requirements elicitation is largely dependent on communication between systems ...

• Social media cancer narratives can be analyzed in the following dimensions: narrative content (e.g., character attributes, events, and mood), narrative form (e.g., perspective and length), literary techniques (e.g., imperatives, metaphors, ...

Narratives play a critical role in health communication and promotion on social media. This study aimed to identify the features of popular social media narratives that generate emotional support and engage users in cancer communication. We ...

This research aims to provide further insight on how to design effective educational games by exploring whether the integration of educational content through game mechanics, text, or a combination of both text and game mechanics is more effective in ...

Antiphishing training is a critical element of an organization's security posture. Yet, its effectiveness is often limited by trainees’ perception that it is boring and unengaging, which weakens their attention and thus diminishes learning ...

Amid emerging information and communication technologies with unique affordances for storytelling and story sharing, most studies in narrative communication still focus on narratives delivered through traditional mediums. There has ...

• Negative sentiments in the initial position of a cancer story enhance user engagement on Facebook.

Stories are an important indicator of our vision of the future. In the case of artificial intelligence (AI), dominant stories are polarized between notions of threat and myopic solutionism. The central storytellers—big tech, popular media, and ...

Previously exclusive, because of a rather too quick assimilation of social classes to a particular access to wealth, luxury, in parallel with the blossoming of mass consumption, has been democratized, with a particularly intense acceleration due ...

Humans constantly create narratives to provide explanations for how and why something happens. Designing systems able to build such narratives would therefore contribute to building more human-centric systems, and to support uses like decision-...

Citizen science (CS) projects have started to utilize Machine Learning (ML) to sort through large datasets generated in fields like astronomy, ecology and biodiversity, biology, and neuroimaging. Human–machine systems have been created to take ...

Quantum computational concepts introduce a host of new ideas for describing and implementing computational processes based on notions of superposition, entanglement, interference and measurement. This paper explores how such quantum mechanical ...

Different people have different perceptions about artificial intelligence (AI). It is extremely important to bring together all the alternative frames of thinking—from the various communities of developers, researchers, business leaders, ...

Narratives can have a powerful impact on our health-related beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors. The human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine can protect against human papillomavirus that leads to different types of cancers. However, HPV vaccination rates ...
