The Embodiment of Relationships of Adult Facebookers

Part 2: CommunicationsInternational audienceIn the last decade we have seen a rise of social media. Within this landscape of online services Facebook plays an immense role in facilitating and creating bonds between people. In this paper we enter a qualitative study conducted with a small group of adult Facebookers over 58. We do so in an effort to understand what kind of relationships one can have through this digital media. The theoretical lens used is Phenomenology, which we find fruitful for more carefully looking into relationships between humans and technology

Facebook use by the Less-frequently Using Demographic : A qualitative study

This is a qualitative, phenomenological study of 8 people 58-73 and their use of Facebook. The data was collected through interviews and observation of participants' Facebook page and posts. The results showed that these people, who belong to a demographic that uses Facebook less frequently, are motivated to join Facebook out of a desire to communicate, out of curiosity, love of new technology and work. Their main use of Facebook is communicating and keeping in touch, especially with people who live at a great distance, which confirmed previous literature. This was followed by promoting their interests and as a news source. Diverging from previous literature where privacy was found to be a major concern, 3 out of 8 participants claimed they were not concerned at all; this was related to their having found ways to keep things they didn't want revealed off Facebook and was probably due to their technical skills. Recommendations are made for making Facebook and other social networking sites more attractive and accessible to people of this demographic

Seismicity along the Mohns—Knipovich Ridge Bend and its correlation to ridge spreading rate

The study presents eleven months of seismicity at the Mohns-Knipovich Ridge Bend area, northern North Atlantic, based mainly on observations from a combined land-based and ocean-bottom regional seismic network. The achieved epicentre accuracy allows to associate the events with major volcanic centres and order-2 ridge segments. The use of event detectors enables a more complete overview of the seismic activity, permitting the identification of discrete episodes. Their morphological and statistical characteristics provide valuable insight into their nature and origin, i.e., whether they are associated with tectonic or volcanic processes. The geographic distribution of the seismicity reflects the different environments met within the study region, slow-spreading segments being overall more seismically active than segments spreading at ultra-slow rates and event magnitudes decreasing with increasing ridge obliquity, probably as a result of rupture scaling

The European Arctic Seismic Bulletin for the years 1990 – 2013

Recent years have shown an increased interest in Polar research and in particular in understanding tectonics and seismic hazard in the Arctic. To understand the seismic activity in the European Arctic, the seismic bulletins should be as complete as possible. We present a new seismic event bulletin for the European Arctic (70° – 90° N, -15° – 75° E), for the 24-year long period 1990 – 2013. The poster will show in detail the merging of the different sources taken in account for the compilation, the homogenization of the data and the relocation of the seismic events. With respect to the ISC bulletin for this region, the new bulletin contains 5,932 new seismic events and 54,630 new seismic onset readings from stations mostly located at regional distances. The gains are distributed over the entire study region, with the most significant contributions across the Svalbard Archipelago, along the Knipovich and northern Mohns Ridges, as well as northern Fennoscandia.Norwegian Research Council Grant 233973/H30Russian Foundation for Basic Research Grant 14-05-93080Russian Foundation for Basic Research Grant 18-05-70018https://doi.org/10.31905/TYLLQY8Tposte
