INFLUENCE OF MEDIA AND COMPUTER GAMES ON DEVELOPMENT OF CHILDREN WITH HEARING IMPAIRMENT

Djeca su poput spužve, upijaju sve ono što vide ili čuju, a kasnije svoje ponašanje zasnivaju na tome. To je posebno izraženo kod djece oštećenog sluha. Oštećenje sluha kompenziraju sačuvanim osjetilima, odnosno vizuelnim putem. Oni su odlični imitatori svih situacija. Poruke i slike koje plasiraju mediji ostaju upečatljivi u njihovoj memoriji. Često smo svjedoci da imitiraju nešto viđeno, plasirano putem medija, Interneta ili kompjuterskih igrica. Laka dostupnost medija otežava zaštitu djece koja su svakodnevno izložena potencijalnim rizicima od strane medija. Sve češće postavlja se pitanje o posljedicama pretjeranog izlaganja mnogobrojnim medijima (televiziji, Internetu, kompjuterskim igricama, časopisima). U ovom radu bavit ćemo se analiziranjem utjecaja medija (televizije, Interneta, Facebooka, kompijuterskih igrica) na razvoj djece oštećenog sluha.Children are like sponges, absorbing everythink they see or hear and then their behavior based on that. This is especially true for children with hearing impairment. Hearing compensate surviving senses, or by visual means. They are great imitators all situations. Messages and images that placed the media remain impressive in their memory. We often witness to imitate anything seen placed in the media, the Internet or computer games. It is easy acces to the media make it difficult to protect children who are daily exposed to potential risks by the media. Increasingly, the question arises about consenquences of excessive exposure to multiple media (television, Internet, computer games, magazines). In this paper we will be analyzing the impact of the media (television, Internet, Facebook, computer games) on children with hearing impairment

Gravitational wave and collider probes of a triplet Higgs sector with a low cutoff

We study the scalar triplet extension of the standard model with a low cutoff, preventing large corrections to the quadratic masses that would otherwise worsen the hierarchy problem. We explore the reach of LISA to test the parameter space region of the scalar potential (not yet excluded by Higgs to diphoton measurements) in which the electroweak phase transition is strongly first-order and produces sizeable gravitational waves. We also demonstrate that the collider phenomenology of the model is drastically different from its renormalizable counterpart. We study the reach of the LHC in ongoing searches and project bounds for the HL-LHC. Likewise, we develop a dedicated analysis to test the key but still unexplored signature of pair-production of charged scalars decaying to third-generation quarks: $pp\rightarrow t\overline{b} (\overline{t}b), b\overline{b}$. These results apply straightforwardly to other extensions of the Higgs sector such as the 2HDM/MSSM.Comment: 12 pages, 19 figure

Privacy-Aware Recommender Systems Challenge on Twitter's Home Timeline

Recommender systems constitute the core engine of most social network platforms nowadays, aiming to maximize user satisfaction along with other key business objectives. Twitter is no exception. Despite the fact that Twitter data has been extensively used to understand socioeconomic and political phenomena and user behaviour, the implicit feedback provided by users on Tweets through their engagements on the Home Timeline has only been explored to a limited extent. At the same time, there is a lack of large-scale public social network datasets that would enable the scientific community to both benchmark and build more powerful and comprehensive models that tailor content to user interests. By releasing an original dataset of 160 million Tweets along with engagement information, Twitter aims to address exactly that. During this release, special attention is drawn on maintaining compliance with existing privacy laws. Apart from user privacy, this paper touches on the key challenges faced by researchers and professionals striving to predict user engagements. It further describes the key aspects of the RecSys 2020 Challenge that was organized by ACM RecSys in partnership with Twitter using this dataset.Comment: 16 pages, 2 table

POSSIBILITY OF ETHICAL TRANSFORMATION TODAY\u27S WORLD ECONOMIC SCENE IN ORDER TO PREVENT FROM CRISIS

Most critically oriented socio-economic analysis of the new cognitive capitalism suggests that the problem of the financial crisis cannot be solved short-term ad hoc measures of the market mechanism. The reasons for this are many, considering that today needs a significant change in the structure of the world financial system, in which the centre is not a man, but only profit. The entire system of capitalist economy is not directed towards meeting the needs of an individual, but the man has become a product that has been reduced to the process of realization of capitalist profit. This means that a man of "purchasing entity" has become an "object" in a very unjust economic system in which wealth is only valid and recognized category. Accordingly, most economists believe that the basic ethical generator of global financial crisis is egotistical greed for personal wealth large scale. According to them, today it\u27s time to race only one goal - profit and interest. Critics point out that modern civilization is characterized by a moral crisis, which in the future will certainly have a permanent economic, political, demographic, environmental, cultural and other consequences. Discussions on the possibilities of reconstruction of capitalism are particularly started during the global financial crisis 2008. Immanent analysis of the literature on the subject mentioned refers primarily to address issues of ethics and morality and corporate responsibility in the economic life. In some cases, even the highlights and (re) updating of the earlier ideas of socialism, where would dominate freedom, justice and solidarity. In such a global social system, the ethics of responsibility needs to be replaced profit as the primary measure of man\u27s existence. In this paper, we seek opportunities to reform the modern world economic order, including "spiritualization" of the capitalist economic system. Research on the interrelation of the capitalist system of ethics and the emergence of the financial crisis are now demanding a much broader (re)actualization ethical values as assumptions remodelling and evolution of modern capitalism, but in addition, terms, conditions and possibilities of modernizing the global financial scene. Therefore, this paper carried out the most important socioeconomic survey of the global economic and financial crisi

Factors influencing privacy concern for explanations of group recommendation

Explanations can help users to better understand why items have been recommended. Additionally, explanations for group recommender systems need to consider further goals than single-user recommender systems. For example, we need to balance group members' need for privacy with their need for transparency, since a transparent explanation might pose a privacy hazard. In an online experiment with real groups (n=114 participants: 38 groups of size 3), we seek to understand which factors influence people's privacy concerns when a single explanation is presented to a group in the tourism domain. In particular, we study the direct effects of three factors on privacy concern: a) group members' personality (using the ĝ€ Big Five' personality traits), b) specific preference scenarios (i.e., having minority or majority preferences compared to two other group members), c) the type of relationship they have in the group (i.e., loosely coupled heterogeneous, versus tightly coupled homogeneous). We find that for personality two traits, Extroversion, and Agreeableness, each significantly affects the privacy concern. Moreover, having the minority or majority preferences in the group, as well as the type of relationship people have in the group, have a strong and significant influence on participants' privacy concern. These results suggest that explanations presented to groups need to be adapted to all three factors (personality, type of relationship, and preference scenario) when considering the privacy concern of users.Web Information System

GMAP 2022: Workshop on Group Modeling, Adaptation and Personalization

Group modeling adaptation and personalization is an area explored in parallel by two different research communities. On the one hand, the user modeling community focuses on the preferences aggregation problem: how to combine preferences of individuals in a group so as to personalize, adapt, and explain content for this group to consume or experience? On the other hand, the computer-supported collaboration community focuses on the group formation problem: how to construct a group that will work together efficiently to solve a particular task? This area becomes increasingly significant as work becomes more flexible, online, and distributed. The connecting tissue between both communities is the urgent need to design algorithms, whether for recommending group content or group formations, that steer away from top-down algorithmic decision-making, which has proven to stifle user agency and create power inequalities between users and algorithms. The aim of the workshop is, for the first time, to bring together the two communities working on the two sides of Group Recommendations, with an overall goal to rethink group recommendation and shift paradigms from the current algorithm-centric to a user- and group-centric focus

Observational multicenter study of efficacy of paroxetine film-coated tablet in the treatment of anxiety disorder

Aim To examine the efficiency of paroxetine treatment of anxiety disorders in adult patients over the period of 12 months and the improvement of symptoms of anxiety disorder during this period, as well as to examine the tolerability of the administered treatment and patient compliance during the study. Methods This observational, multicenter, cohort, clinical study included 171 patients with diagnosed anxiety disorder who were administrated paroxetine film-coated tablets 20 mg and followed up during the next 12 months. Patients were observed at 6 points, baseline and five additional assessments. The Beck Anxiety Inventory was used to determine the baseline severity of anxiety and Patients Health Questionnaire module GAD-7 was used to determine the severity of anxious symptoms and to follow up patients during the additional observations. Tolerability and patient compliance were followed throughout the study. Results Statistically significant decline in severity of anxiety disorder over the observation period (p=0.001) was found. At the beginning of the study, 64 (45.7%) patients had severe anxiety symptoms, 43 (30.7%) moderate, 25 (17.9%) mild and eight (5.7%) had none to minimal symptoms. At the end of the study, there were no more patients with severe anxiety, while four (3.4%) had moderate symptoms. On the other hand, 26 (22.2%) had mild symptoms and 87 (74.4%) had none to minimal symptoms of anxiety disorder. Conclusion The results of this study provide further evidence for paroxetine’s efficacy and tolerability in the treatment of anxiety disorders with good patient compliance
