Effective Digital Marketing for Improving Society Behavior Toward DEI and SDGs

Abstract
The use of social media in health is emerging as a means of bringing the various actors together with several benefits. In the specific case of cancer disease, these tools can help patients to improve their psychological well-being and their outcomes. As cancer is the cause of a quarter of deaths in Portugal, it is a pressing issue to understand which tools and information both patients and health professionals find most useful to build effective health social media. It was observed that there is a latent need for an oncology social environment, allowing greater well-being for patients and strengthening their relationship with health professionals and institutions, constituting an asset to the services provided. This chapter fills a gap in the bibliography by bringing together the views of both patients and health professionals from several areas, in close collaboration with the Francisco Gentil Portuguese Oncology Institute of Porto, E.P.E. © 2024, IGI Global.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE 32ND ACM INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, CIKM 2023

Abstract
The management of knowledge-driven artificial intelligence technologies is essential in order to evaluate their impact on human life and society. Social networks and tech use can have a negative impact on us physically, emotionally, socially and mentally. On the other hand, intelligent systems can have a positive effect on people's lives. Currently, we are witnessing the power of large language models (LLMs) like chatGPT and its influence towards the society. The objective of the workshop is to contribute to the advancement of intelligent technologies designed to address the human condition. This could include precise and personalized medicine, better care for elderly people, reducing private data leaks, using AI to manage resources better, using AI to predict risks, augmenting human capabilities, and more. The workshop's objective is to present research findings and perspectives that demonstrate how knowledge-enabled technologies and applications improve human well-being. This workshop indeed focuses on the impacts at different granularity levels made by Artificial Intelligence (AI) research on the micro granular level, where the daily or regular functioning of human life is affected, and also the macro granulate level, where the long-term or far-future effects of artificial intelligence on people's lives and the human society could be pretty high. In conclusion, this workshop explores how AI research can potentially address the most pressing challenges facing modern societies, and how knowledge management can potentially contribute to these solutions.

Abstract
Dashboard for online higher education support monitoring and evaluation of students’ interactions, but mostly limited to interaction occurring within learning management systems. In this study, we sought to find which collaborative learning activities and tools in online higher education are included in teaching dashboards. By following Kitchenham’s procedure for systematic reviews, 36 papers were identified according to this focus and analysed. The results identify dashboards supporting collaborative tools, both synchronous and asynchronous, along categories such as learning management systems, communication tools, social media, computer programming code management platforms, project management platforms, and collaborative writing tools. Dashboard support was also found for collaborative activities, grouped under four categories of forum discussion activities, three categories of communication activities and four categories of collaborative editing/sharing activities, though most of the analysed dashboards only provide support for no more than two or three collaborative tools. This represents a need for further research on how to develop dashboards that combine data from a more diverse set of collaborative activities and tools.

Abstract
Clinical in-bed video-based human motion analysis is a very relevant computer vision topic for several relevant biomedical applications. Nevertheless, the main public large datasets (e.g. ImageNet or 3DPW) used for deep learning approaches lack annotated examples for these clinical scenarios. To address this issue, we introduce BlanketSet, an RGB-IRD action recognition dataset of sequences performed in a hospital bed. This dataset has the potential to help bridge the improvements attained in more general large datasets to these clinical scenarios. Information on how to access the dataset is available at rdm.inesctec.pt/dataset/nis-2022-004.
