Investigating sexual strategies in a social community website

In this exploratory study we tried to corroborate existing findings of Sexual Strategies Theory (SST, Buss & Schmitt, 1993) by using data collected from an online community. A random sample of N = 460 German user profiles was drawn from Myspace, a social networking website. Sexual interests reported by the users were analyzed separately for men and women: “Dating” served as an indicator of short-term and interest in “Serious Relationship” as an indicator of long-term sexual strategy. Consistent with SST, a higher percentage of male than female users was interested in dating. However, men were also more interested in serious relationships, indicating that online partner search itself might be a short-term sexual strategy

Aesthetic and Social Community: Multicultural Poetry and the Anthologizing of Poems

Scholars from various disciplines have explored the concept of multiculturalism from the perspectives of citizenship, recognition, representation, tokenism, constitutionalism, and other vantage points, with politics and education receiving most of the attention. I While many efforts have been made to explore these aspects of multiculturalism, its significance in poetry, particularly in poetry\u27s composition and critique, has not been duly taken into account. Multicultural poetry designates a critical abstraction in which poetry is classified by relation to a communal culture, history, or customs. In this definition, multicultural poetry is therefore inclusive of poetry written by ethnic minorities, women, non-mainstream religious practitioners, and members of other communities. To maintain a focus, this article delimits its discussion to poetry\u27s relationship with ethnicity and probes the interplay between aesthetic and ethnicity in three sections–Mainstream Poetry Anthologies: Tastes, Schools, and the Issue of History, Multicultural Poetry Anthologies: Situated Poetry and Group Poetics, and Ethnopoetics as a Choice

Health, community and development : towards a social psychology of participation

Population ageing is one of the major contemporary issues facing societies across the world. Originally framed as a major social and economic challenge, demographic ageing is now beginning to be seen as offering huge potential to individuals as well as to their communities. It is this positive potential that we explore in this issue by utilising two key disciplinary approaches—social gerontology and social/community psychology. In this introduction, we argue that focus on only one or the other of these perspectives is limiting. Instead, a more critical approach is needed that incorporates the strengths of both disciplines in order to build a more complete and stronger understanding of ageing and community. Thus, a focus on social gerontology highlights ageing issues and explores the diversity of older people and their interactions with community. By incorporating a social/community psychology approach, there is potential to complement this body of work through a deeper level of analysis around community, as well as individual and relational dimensions. The result is a special issue that brings together these two perspectives to address some of the shortcomings of approaching ageing through solely one disciplinary lens

DRec:Multidomain Recommendation System for Social Community

The Recommendation System is the software engines and the approaches for consideration proposal to the user which might be most probably matched with the liking of users. Usually, Recommendations system recommends on various fields like what items to buy, which movies to watch even the job recommendations, depending upon the users profile. Instinctively if the domains of users are captured and filtered out accordingly to recommend them will be a very useful idea. In this paper we will be discussing about the research done by us and the limitation of the system.We design a system for recommending domains in social network, using an explicit / offline data. We have tested it on two popular dataset namely Epinions and Ciao. The ratings of items are studied and performance measures are calculated with three different ways 1) MAP (Mean Average Precision) 2)F-measure and 3) nDCG (Normalized Discounted Cumulative Gain) . As well we have compared the results with 5 comparisons methods.All the techniques and methods are explained in paper. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.15081
