Linguistic features influencing information diffusion in social networks: A systematic review
This review summarizes research empirically addressing the link between linguistic features and spread of information in online social media. N = 85 studies were selected for the review. Features that consistently had a positive effect on diffusion were information value, words pertaining to social connection, as well as engaging, concrete and powerful language style. Instead, effects of sentiment polarity (positive vs. negative), basic emotions, and morality vary in their relation with diffusion. We also noted whether the diffusion has been investigated as influence- or homophily-based, i.e., whether the sharing occurred as the result of the message exposure or simply because of inherent similarity between the users. This difference in sharing was considered in only n = 7 of the selected works, of which only n = 2 identified features that positively affect both processes.Otwarty dostępArtykułyReview article - 2025-03-28
„To jest w ogóle jakiś dramat”. Sytuacja mieszkaniowa młodych ludzi w Polsce
The article analyzes challenges related to housing faced by Polish young adults. The theoretical framework is built upon the concepts of housing autonomy, weak state and social solvation. These reflect crisis reality of public life in Poland as a backdrop for transitions-to-adulthood. The presented data comes from a representative sample of 2104 people aged 18-35 surveyed through CAWI in 2023 and a qualitative longitudinal study (IDIs) conducted with 26 individuals over two waves in 2021 and 2023. The data enabled comparing the perspectives of those in three housing scenarios: living with parents, renting, and owning property, pointing to relationships between housing strategy and other variables, such as financial situation and the evaluation of one’s position. The narratives and emotions of young adults reveal multilevel privatisation of the housing sphere, social inequalities and state’s weakness. Perceiving housing autonomy as unachievable exacerbates ‘shakiness’ of transitions-to-adulthood in weak state.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025
Exploring acculturation strategies among international professionals from Ukraine and Latin America in Poland: A qualitative study
Acculturation is a complex process that refers to a psychological change of individuals’ cultural beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviors, and identities. By employing the Tridimensional (3D) Acculturation Model and the Relative Acculturation Extended Model, this study aimed to explore the acculturation strategies of the international professionals who work and live in Poland and to examine how the workplace shapes their experiences. Twenty professionals, 10 from Ukraine and 10 from Latin America, participated in semi-structured interviews and created cultural identity maps focusing on their experiences of acculturation and organizational culture of the companies they work for. Interpretive phenomenological analysis revealed four acculturation strategies used by the professionals: assimilation, separation, integration, and multicultural. Importantly, the last two were predominant among the study participants. Moreover, for some individuals, workplace organizational cultures shaped their acculturation process, particularly the adoption of a new culture’s values and practices. Overall, findings contribute to understanding the complexity and multidomain nature of acculturation. Methodologically, the study underscores the use of identity mapping to examine in depth the acculturation processes, especially of multicultural individuals who may not be adequately represented within quantitative approaches.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025
Experiences of sexual health and intimate relationships in women with lipedema: a qualitative study
Aim: To explore the experiences of sexual health and intimate relationships in women with lipedema. Design: A qualitative interview study. Methods: Sixteen women with lipedema recruited from a national lipedema association group in Sweden participated. Data were collected between October 2023 and February 2024 and analysed using content analysis. Results: Four main categories were identified. Being burdened by body shame highlighted the women's body dissatisfaction, difficulties in self-acceptance and shame when being naked in front of their partners. Being hindered by an aching and heavy body captured the experiences of bodily pain and heaviness in intimate situations. Being torn between desire and avoidance revealed that the women longed for intimacy but adopted different strategies to avoid it. Being affected by what is said and what is left unsaid showed the role of the partner's approach as well as the strain of not discussing sexual problems with partners or healthcare providers. Conclusion: Women with lipedema experience physical, psychological and relational challenges in sexual life and intimacy. Still, these challenges remain unaddressed in healthcare settings. Implications for the Profession and Patient Care: Nurses and midwives should, in their unique role in encountering women throughout their lifespans, address and invite dialogues on sexual-related concerns of women affected by lipedema. Impact: The study findings provide insights into how lipedema affects women's sexual health and intimate relationships and offer new knowledge that can be applied when planning targeted interventions to promote the sexual health and well-being of women with lipedema. Reporting Method: Adherence to the EQUATOR guidelines and COREQ checklist. Patient or Public Contribution: Two patient representatives from a lipedema association group contributed to this study by distributing study information to their members.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article - 2025-03-27
Recurrent and convolutional neural networks in classification of EEG signal for guided imagery and mental workload detection
The Guided Imagery technique is reported to be used by therapists all over the world in order to increase the comfort of patients suffering from a variety of disorders from mental to oncology ones and proved to be successful in numerous of ways. Possible support for the therapists can be estimation of the time at which subject goes into deep relaxation. This paper presents the results of the investigations of a cohort of 26 students exposed to Guided Imagery relaxation technique and mental task workloads conducted with the use of dense array electroencephalographic amplifier. The research reported herein aimed at verification whether it is possible to detect differences between those two states and to classify them using deep learning methods and recurrent neural networks such as EEGNet, Long Short-Term Memory-based classifier, 1D Convolutional Neural Network and hybrid model of 1D Convolutional Neural Network and Long Short-Term Memory. The data processing pipeline was presented from the data acquisition, through the initial data cleaning, preprocessing and postprocessing. The classification was based on two datasets: one of them using 26 so-called cognitive electrodes and the other one using signal collected from 256 channels. So far there have not been such comparisons in the application being discussed. The classification results are presented by the validation metrics such as: accuracy, recall, precision, F1-score and loss for each case. It turned out that it is not necessary to collect signals from all electrodes as classification of the cognitive ones gives the results similar to those obtained for the full signal and extending input to 256 channels does not add much value. In Disscussion there were proposed an optimal classifier as well as some suggestions concerning the prospective development of the project.Otwarty dostępArtykułyJournal article
