Assessing the Playing Field: A Prospective Longitudinal Study of Internet Sports Gambling Behavior

Internet gambling is growing rapidly, as is concern about its possible effect on the public’s health. This paper reports the results of the first prospective longitudinal study of actual Internet sports gambling behavior during eight study months. Data include recorded fixed-odds bets on the outcome of sporting contests and live-action bets on the outcome of events within contests for 40,499 Internet sports gambling service subscribers who enrolled during February 2005. We tracked the following primary gambling behaviors: daily totals of the number of bets made, money bet, and money won. We transformed these variables into measures of gambling involvement. We analyzed behavior for both fixed-odds and live-action bets. The median betting behavior of the 39,719 fixed-odds bettors was to place 2.5 bets of €4 (approximately $5.3 US) every fourth day during the median 4 months from first to last bet. This typical pattern incurred a loss of 29% of the amount wagered. The median betting behavior of the 24,794 live-action bettors was to place 2.8 wagers of €4 every fourth day during the median duration of 6 weeks at a loss of 18% of the amount wagered. We also examined the behavior of empirically determined groups of heavily involved bettors whose activity exceeded that of 99% of the sample.     

媒介发展背景下收视注意力变化及其对电视剧创作的影响

媒介发展为大众传播带来巨大变化,影响了收视方式,也影响了观众对电视剧的注意力投入。从传统媒体时代到移动互联网时代,观众的注意力呈现出与收视氛围、收视状态变化相对应的特征变化——投入程度变深,投入时间缩短。观众的注意力从更换率低的、长时间的、无互动性的内容转移到更换频繁的、短时间的、有互动性的、社交式的内容上。在此情境下,电视剧创作必然呈现符合观众与媒介间注意力法则的新趋势——内容长度缩短,情节强度增强,以及对互动性进行一系列探索。

"互联网+"时代上海高校工会新媒体建设现状及优化策略 ——网络文本分析的视角

随着互联网技术的迅猛发展,高校工会新媒体建设势在必行。上海高校工会新媒体建设在全国处于领先地位,但仍存在诸多不足。通过对105篇高校工会互联网建设相关文献和上海市66所高校工会官方网站以及微信公众号研究发现,高校工会互联网建设的相关研究主要兴起于2015年,以思辨研究为主,其中互联网环境下高校工会工作方式创新是当下最热门的研究主题;上海66所高校中有56.06%的工会建立了工会网站,但只有28.79%的工会创建了微信公众号,且主要集中在本科院校;高校工会网站基本达到"形"的完善,但普遍存在"质"不高的共性,在微信公众号运营上,近60%的高校工会只限于新闻发布和活动公告。因此,高校工会应该树立工会工作互联网思维,优化工会工作网上平台和提升工会队伍信息化能力建设。     

An E-learning outreach program for public schools: Findings and lessons learned based on a pilot program in Makati City and Cabuyao City,Laguna, Philippines

The E-Learning Outreach Program (ELOP) is a multisectoral, collaborative, and commitment-driven action research that focuses on providing relevant and useful computer and Internet literacy short courses for public elementary students. This study presents the critical action plans of setting up a pilot e-Learning station in Hen. Pio del Pilar Elementary School in Makati City and in Pulo Elementary School in Cabuyao City, Laguna, Philippines. The school’s computer laboratory was converted to an E-Learning station with additional devices and technical support from De La Salle University (DLSU). The study aims to account for a process-based heuristic approach in laying down the different phases of the program, specifically to: (1) coordinate and orient parents, pupils, teachers and school administrators, (2) set-up an e-Learning environment (3) design and write course modules (4) assess learning skills and experience of pupils, and (5) evaluate the program based on research team’s observation and results of the focus group discussion (FGD) with teachers and student-participants. In Pulo Elementary School, a pretest and posttests were conducted with results showing that the program has improved participants’ e-Learning knowledge and skills except for advance skills in hardware utilization. The participants also showed a strong positive attitude towards the ELOP.     

移动短视频用户体验影响因素及作用机理研究——基于抖音APP用户的调查

随着短视频行业发展进入下半场,如何提升和完善用户体验成为各短视频平台可持续发展的关键。以用户体验五要素模型为基础,构建移动短视频用户体验模型,运用结构方程方法对模型的适用性进行检验,深入挖掘移动短视频用户体验的主要影响因素,为企业和相关平台方优化用户体验、提高用户留存率提供参考。研究发现：视觉吸引力、界面设计、交互、内容、需求满足对用户体验具有显著的直接影响,且这五个变量通过中介变量情感感知间接影响用户体验。基于此,短视频平台在秉持内容制胜的同时还需丰富互动形式,以优秀的界面设计和深厚的情感,抓住用户眼球、引发用户共鸣、满足用户多元需求,以此构建健康的平台生态圈。     

互联网发展对银行信贷质量的影响研究

互联网发展给银行信贷资产质量管理带来了全新机遇。将互联网发展、信息不对称和银行信贷质量纳入分析框架,从事前和事后两方面详细论证互联网发展减少银行与借款人之间信息不对称的机制和效果。结果发现,互联网发展能够提升银行资产质量,有助于控制信贷风险。互联网发展不仅提高了银行与借款人之间事前沟通的频次,还在事后增强了银行贷款的监督调整能力。除此之外,由互联网催生的数字普惠金融对银行信贷质量有正向溢出作用,这是互联网发展影响银行信贷质量的间接机制。     

网络空间的重组与分化：以微信朋友圈为例

在网络化时代引发的诸多变迁中,社会空间的生产变革具有独特的意义。区别于工业社会的社会空间,网络空间呈现出独有的空间特征：缺场空间的“脱域”特质,蕴含网络权力逻辑的流动性,兼为民主政治领域和私人交往领域的赛博空间。微信朋友圈从空间的视角维系和重塑了网络社会的社会关系,并在其发展中不断生产着社会性的空间,塑造了个体化趋势和圈子文化并存、公共空间和私人空间属性兼备、虚拟空间和现实空间融合与再生产的社会空间。微信朋友圈以中国化的方式生产出本土性的互联网公共空间,彰显了网民的能动性,创造了别样的空间生产逻辑和公共价值。
