  • Fake News Detection in Social Media
    Fake news detection in social media Kasseropoulos Dimitrios-Panagiotis SID: 3308190011 SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Data Science JANUARY, 2021 THESSALONIKI - GREECE i Fake news detection in social media Kasseropoulos Dimitrios-Panagiotis SID: 3308190011 Supervisor: Assoc. Prof. Christos Tjortjis Supervising Committee Members: Prof. Panagiotis Bozanis Dr. Leonidas Akritidis SCHOOL OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Data Science JANUARY, 2021 THESSALONIKI - GREECE ii Abstract This dissertation was written as a part of the MSc in Data Science at the International Hellenic University. The easy propagation and access to information in the web has the potential to become a serious issue when it comes to disinformation. The term “fake news” is describing the intentional propagation of fake news with the intent to mislead and harm the public, and has gained more attention since the U.S elections of 2016. Recent studies have used machine learning techniques to tackle it. This thesis reviews the style-based machine learning approach which relies on the textual information of news, such as the manually extraction of lexical features from the text (e.g. part of speech counts), and testing the performance of both classic and non-classic (artificial neural networks) algorithms. We have managed to find a subset of best performing linguistic features, using information-based metrics, which also tend to agree with the already existing literature. Also, we combined the Name Entity Recognition (NER) functionality of spacy’s library with the FP Growth algorithm to gain a deeper perspective of the name entities used in the two classes.

  • Combatting White Nationalism: Lessons from Marx by Andrew Kliman
    Combatting White Nationalism: Lessons from Marx by Andrew Kliman October 2, 2017 version Abstract This essay seeks to draw lessons from Karl Marx’s writings and practice that can help combat Trumpism and other expressions of white nationalism. The foremost lesson is that fighting white nationalism in the tradition of Marx entails the perspective of solidarizing with the “white working class” by decisively defeating Trumpism and other far-right forces. Their defeat will help liberate the “white working class” from the grip of reaction and thereby spur the independent emancipatory self-development of working people as a whole. The anti-neoliberal “left” claims that Trump’s electoral victory was due to an uprising of the “white working class” against a rapacious neoliberalism that has caused its income to stagnate for decades. However, working-class income (measured reasonably) did not stagnate, nor is “economic distress” a source of Trump’s surprisingly strong support from “working-class” whites. And by looking back at the presidential campaigns of George Wallace between 1964 and 1972, it becomes clear that Trumpism is a manifestation of a long-standing white nationalist strain in US politics, not a response to neoliberalism or globalization. Marx differed from the anti-neoliberal “left” in that he sought to encourage the “independent movement of the workers” toward human emancipation, not further the political interests of “the left.” Their different responses to white nationalism are rooted in this general difference. Detailed analysis of Marx’s writings and activity around the US Civil War and the Irish independence struggle against England reveals that Marx stood for the defeat of the Confederacy, and the defeat of England, largely because he anticipated that these defeats would stimulate the independent emancipatory self-development of the working class.

Common sense warning: The book you are about to read is dangerous. If you are from the English language media sphere, virtually everything you may think you know about contemporary Rus- sia; its political system, leaders, economy, population, so-called opposition, foreign policy and much more is either seriously flawed or just plain wrong. This has not happened by accident. This book explains why. This book is also about gross double standards, hypocrisy, and venal stupidity with western media playing the role of willing accomplice. After reading this interesting tome, you might reconsider everything you “learn” from mainstream media about Russia and the world.

  • Digital Health Passports: the Snare That Will Lure Many Into the One-World Cashless System
    Digital health passports: The snare that will lure many into the one-world cashless system leohohmann.com/2021/08/04/digital-health-passports-the-snare-that-will-lure-many-into-the-one-world-cashless- system View all posts by leohohmann August 4, 2021 Several new technologies that appear separate and unrelated will soon converge, creating a giant digital trap that will easily entice the uninformed masses. The digital trap has already been set and globalist elites are using COVID to speed up the process of convergence. Most people will sleep-walk right into the trap, which will ultimately reduce them to a human QR code – trackable, traceable, and 100 percent dependent on Big Tech and big government for their existence. I’m going to unpack each of these seemingly separate threads that will be gradually merged into a single overarching socio-financial control grid. The most imminent agenda item needed to jumpstart this system is a successful launch of digital health passports. France, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Greece and many other nations have started mandating these passports on their citizens, many of whom are flooding into the streets to protest. 1/7 Citizens protest health passports in more than 150 cities throughout France. The movement toward digital health passports in the U.S. is happening more gradually but it’s picking up steam. In a briefing Monday, Aug. 2, Biden’s Coronavirus Response Coordinator Jeffrey Zients announced “it’s time to impose some requirements” where COVID vaccines are concerned. When asked for clarification on exactly what COVID rules might be implemented, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said nothing is off the table.

To respond effectively to this problem, we first need to disambiguate, understand, and clearly define the phenomenon. Our online information landscape is characterized by a variety of different types of false information. There is no commonly agreed typology framework, specific categorization criteria, and explicit definitions as a basis to assist the further investigation of the area. Our work is focused on filling this need. Our contribution is twofold. First, we collect the various implicit and explicit disinformation typologies proposed by scholars. We consolidate the findings following certain design principles to articulate an all-inclusive disinformation typology. Second, we propose three independent dimensions with controlled values per dimension as categorization criteria for all types of disinformation. The taxonomy can promote and support further multidisciplinary research to analyze the special characteristics of the identified disinformation types.

  • Toolkit for Independent Primary Care Providers
    CORONAVIRUS | COVID-19 Toolkit for Independent Primary Care Providers Click here to view the most recent updates on COVID-19 and resources from Avance Care. December, 15, 2020 Dear Primary Care Provider, We at Avance Care strongly believe that information-sharing among medical professionals is essential during the COVID-19 (C19) pandemic, and we understand many independent practices do not have the resources to craft protocols or the time to find the latest information to care for our patient. In the spirit: Please share this toolkit with other professionals who may benefit. We created this toolkit in the early weeks of the pandemic to help you provide care to your patients during this national emergency. As the we enter the TENTH month of caring for our patients in this new world, we try to include information most pertinent to the primary care physician and provider. We have entered the dark winter forecasted by our public health officials. Daily COVID-19 deaths in the US are frequently over 3000 since December 9. The release of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine on December 14 gives us hope that transmission of the virus will be under control by mid-2021. Updates in this version of the toolkit include the December 2 guidance from the CDC allowing reduction in the length of quarantine based on local health conditions. The shorter period of quarantine is intended to reduce the burden of isolating and may increase community compliance. The modeling behind this decision is found here https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/more/scientific-brief-options-to-reduce-quarantine.html There is little published data on treatment of COVID-19 in the ambulatory setting.
