The Role of Social Media in Public Relations Practice – a New Zealand Perspective
The Role of Social Media in Public Relations Practice – a New Zealand Perspective Stefanie Martens A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Communication Studies (MCS) 2020 School of Communications Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies ABSTRACT This study investigates the trends in the use of social media in the practice of New Zealand public relations and sheds light on how New Zealand public relations professionals evaluate the role of social media in their profession. It followed a triangulation approach by combining a document analysis of 148 award- winning communication campaigns and in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten New Zealand public relations practitioners. The findings show that New Zealand public relations practitioners have not significantly changed the ways they have adopted and used social media over the last decade. Practitioners still seem to focus their efforts on established social media platforms and refrain from adopting new ones. Their adoption of new social media platforms appears to follow fashion trends; for example, applications like Instagram and Instagram Stories were adopted quicker than others. In-house practitioners also seem to generally lag when adopting social media platforms due to a control paradigm that is still prevalent within organisations. Return on investment and resource restrictions are identified as important influencing factors on the practitioners’ application of social media platforms. The practitioners appear to concentrate their social media efforts on a selected number of most popular platforms that offer more advantages, such as reach. The results of this study suggest that practitioners are using social media more strategically than in the past. -

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ADVANCED CACHING SOLUTIONS FOR THE MODERN WEB A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Qi Huang August 2014 © 2014 Qi Huang ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF ADVANCED CACHING SOLUTIONS FOR THE MODERN WEB Qi Huang, Ph.D. Cornell University 2014 The rise of modern Web applications has seen a surge in the quantity of digital con- tent — photos, videos, and user interactions — stored, accessed, and transmitted by Internet services. To better handle such content, popular Web services, such as Face- book, have deployed large cache tiers within their serving stacks to lessen the load on backend systems and to decrease the data-request latency for users. Designing such cache infrastructures exposes challenges across three dimensions: (1) Modern Web workloads differ from earlier traditional workloads, due to the large amount of user-created content, as well as the frequency of updates due to user inter- actions; therefore, more advanced cache-replacement policies are required to provide sustained high hit-ratios, the key metric for caching performance. (2) Flash devices are extensively used due to their cost advantage over DRAM and their significantly higher I/O performance than magnetic disks; however, flash often yields low performance and high wearing costs with the small random writes that advanced caching algorithms tend to generate. (3) Load balance is critical for the scalability of an entire cache-server tier; however, different content within the modern Web may have disparate popularities, and the dependent data-partition mechanism is often used to co-locate relative data in favor of advanced application queries. -

OSINT Handbook September 2020
OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 OPEN SOURCE INTELLIGENCE TOOLS AND RESOURCES HANDBOOK 2020 Aleksandra Bielska Noa Rebecca Kurz, Yves Baumgartner, Vytenis Benetis 2 Foreword I am delighted to share with you the 2020 edition of the OSINT Tools and Resources Handbook. Once again, the Handbook has been revised and updated to reflect the evolution of this discipline, and the many strategic, operational and technical challenges OSINT practitioners have to grapple with. Given the speed of change on the web, some might question the wisdom of pulling together such a resource. What’s wrong with the Top 10 tools, or the Top 100? There are only so many resources one can bookmark after all. Such arguments are not without merit. My fear, however, is that they are also shortsighted. I offer four reasons why. To begin, a shortlist betrays the widening spectrum of OSINT practice. Whereas OSINT was once the preserve of analysts working in national security, it now embraces a growing class of professionals in fields as diverse as journalism, cybersecurity, investment research, crisis management and human rights. A limited toolkit can never satisfy all of these constituencies. Second, a good OSINT practitioner is someone who is comfortable working with different tools, sources and collection strategies. The temptation toward narrow specialisation in OSINT is one that has to be resisted. Why? Because no research task is ever as tidy as the customer’s requirements are likely to suggest. Third, is the inevitable realisation that good tool awareness is equivalent to good source awareness. Indeed, the right tool can determine whether you harvest the right information. -

Crowdsourcing Street View Imagery: a Comparison of Mapillary and Openstreetcam
International Journal of Geo-Information Article Crowdsourcing Street View Imagery: A Comparison of Mapillary and OpenStreetCam Ron Mahabir 1,2,* , Ross Schuchard 1, Andrew Crooks 1,2,3 , Arie Croitoru 2,3 and Anthony Stefanidis 4 1 Department of Computational and Data Sciences, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA; [email protected] (R.S.); [email protected] (A.C.) 2 Center for Geoinformatics and Geospatial Intelligence, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA 22030, USA; [email protected] 3 Department of Geography and Geoinformation Science, George Mason University Fairfax, VA 22030, USA 4 Department of Computer Science, William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA 23187, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.:+1-703-993-6377 Received: 8 April 2020; Accepted: 24 May 2020; Published: 26 May 2020 Abstract: Over the last decade, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has emerged as a viable source of information on cities. During this time, the nature of VGI has been evolving, with new types and sources of data continually being added. In light of this trend, this paper explores one such type of VGI data: Volunteered Street View Imagery (VSVI). Two VSVI sources, Mapillary and OpenStreetCam, were extracted and analyzed to study road coverage and contribution patterns for four US metropolitan areas. Results show that coverage patterns vary across sites, with most contributions occurring along local roads and in populated areas. We also found that a few users contributed most of the data. Moreover, the results suggest that most data are being collected during three distinct times of day (i.e., morning, lunch and late afternoon). -
Modelling the World in 3D from VGI/ Crowdsourced Data Hongchao Fan* and Alexander Zipf Chair of Giscience, Heidelberg University, Berlinerstr
CHAPTER 31 Modelling the world in 3D from VGI/ Crowdsourced data Hongchao Fan* and Alexander Zipf Chair of GIScience, Heidelberg University, Berlinerstr. 48, 69120 Heidelberg, Germany *[email protected] Abstract Within the last ten years, Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) has developed rapidly and signifcantly infuenced the world of GIScience. Most prominently, the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project maps our world in a detail never seen before in user-generated maps on the one hand. On the other hand, most of the urban area on our planet has been covered by hundreds of mil- lions of photos uploaded on social media platforms, such as Flickr, Instagram, Mapillary, Weibo and others. Tese data are directly or indirectly geo-refer- enced and can be used to extract 3D information and model our world in the 3D environment. At the current stage, several approaches have been made avail- able to visualise and generate the 3D world mainly using OpenStreetMap data. Te 3D buildings are unfortunately restricted to a coarse level of detail, since no further information about facade structure is available on OSM. In this paper, the current work of reconstruction of 3D buildings by using the data both on OSM and Flickr is presented, whereby facade structure could be extracted from Flickr images and OSM footprints can be used to accelerate the process of dense image matching and to improve the accuracy of geo-referencing.
