Entertainment - Science topic

I have been struggling with deciding my master thesis since i was in last year of my degree. My ultimate goal of all my research is to help students getting the most out of their university life in term of education. However, how to achieve that, i still do not know where to start. At one point I wanted to make my topic general and explore the psycho-social challenges that students face during university with regard to academic well-being( because it was the closest things I find to the idea of getting the most out of university). But then recently I got new idea, and instead of focusing on what makes someone does not study. I rather focus on what would make someone study and prioritize learning instead of entertainment. And before any of these topics, 4 month ago i thought maybe i could start with the issue of digital distraction. And now, I am scared of venturing into any of these topics because I am scared i will invest a lot of time and energy to discover it was worthless.

So What you guys did when you were about to decide your thesis topic? And do anyone think any of these topics seems valid

Using media as a source of entertainment does lead to hearing and consumption but does not guarantee the acquisition, but even so some learners take steps to learn why is that the case?

I suggest identity is prominent and with that division. Constructing ideas as a means of explaining our existence, and simply entertainment (stories, songs and poetry).

Although in the present we often view religion as about monotheism this is shortsighted and unreasonable.

I wanted to entertain what h-index is, what i10-index is and their differences.

maybe in the afterlife I've failed at... Uniqueness may be the arche...

Everyone is special:

I read this amazing paper - African Languages and African Literature Cecilia A. Eme & Davidson U. Mbagwu DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ujah.v12i1.7

My argument is this: I strongly think that every African author is an individual with their own aspirations. Why would any author go through the pains of learning to write in African languages when they have a rich language like English for their stories?

I strongly think African authors are trying to do the work of the anthropologist. A novelist's job is to entertain his readers with interesting fictional events. I have never seen British authors coming together to write in old Shakespearian English collectively. That kind of English is lost and remains in old literature. Why should African languages be an exception? If we wish to preserve our languages in written form, let Historians and anthropologists do the job, not novelists.

I am ready. I’m an autistic antiracism educator.

Hello! My name is Julia and I am an undergrad student in the US looking to collaborate with anyone who may be interested. I study Business Analytics & Film, and am interested in the integration of businesses/brands across foreign cultures, themed entertainment, media, film, AI/machine learning, Disney, sociology/psychology/gender studies or anything related.

Please reach out jwarden@nd.edu if you may be interested! I look forward to hearing from you and learning.

Is there any research on what's often called 'scambaiting,' when content creators make entertainment content, for example on Youtube or Twitch, by stringing scammers along?

Thank for Anita Z Goldschmied'comment:

Thank you for the topic and for introducing him. I am very active and always have been, so I can't imagine a life without movement. That is probably why I cannot consider issues of order and sides here, facts and beliefs, but acknowledge how they affect and shape one another to emerge effects. In terms of application of theory, my regime combines running, HIT, weight lifting, dancing, mindfulness, walking and many more in perfect harmony, never in opposition or hierarchy but interconnected and complementing, just like a problem and its (temporary) solution that we all have to figure out ourselves. Although I would be cautious with this translation, I will finish with his sentence: "After 10 years of hard work, I created my own story to entertain everyone."

This is my story."After 10 years of hard work, I created my own story to entertain everyone."

Many people have experienced, first-hand the saying, " toothache is not a disease, it just hurts really badly ". Toothache can destroy a person if it lasts for many days. Fortunately, there are dentists who can handle the disease.

But do you know "empty nose syndrome" ?

It is a kind of breathing pain, called an incurable illness, and the doctor who was as effective as god, bringing the dying back to life, is helpless treating it.

Now, let me tell you that there is a  patient with 27 years medical history of

"empty nose syndrome”. At that time, 27 years ago, he lost a large tooth and for many years experienced double torture with trauma of the body and spirit because of the disease and has experienced the feeling like the heart has cracked open and  his tendons have  pulled out. Because of the extreme pain he once let himself fall into the emotions of sorrow and despair; living was no better than dying. It was 20 years after the operation that he learned that the disease he was fighting against was actually a " incurable disease " Fortunately, he is a surgeon who likes  sports since he was a child. He is also an optimistic activist and a practitioner of positive psychology. After seeking medical advice so many times, his treatment failed and his emotion dropped into hopelessness. He learned from the pain and did not complain about it to others. He regarded it as Heaven’s challenge to him....

The metaverse is an evolving experience for users (avatars) to have a 3d view of the physical world and collaborate inclusively even in various areas like manufacturing, designing, construction and entertainment.

By shifting from passive to active learning, the metaverse can transform the present learning paradigm into entertaining, engaging, meaningful, social, iterative, and joyous. It will change many aspects and create new ways of addressing our present learning styles' issues. The following are some questions that bring our attention to discuss further.

1) Will it help deal with diversity in higher education institutes, or will it be more complicated?

2) Will it help monitor exams more effectively in a non-face-to-face environment, or will it be cumbersome?

Most of you will have experienced that your paper was rejected. Sometimes there is a good critic, most times its quite funny (and a bit sad) to read how editors evaluate potential publications.

I would like to start best of with rejections - to entertain and learn from. Please feel free to share your experiences here. And good luck next time!

I am working on a research to demonstrate the advantages of using artificial intelligence resources in the entertainment sector and I would like to have more information about the most used algorithms to predict whether a series of tv, film, tv show or music will succeed and so demonstrate the competitive advantage that its use can bring to companies in the sector.

Suppose, a client gets anonymously authenticated by a server. Do we know some crypto building block that can restrict a client from submitting two authentication requests (of course anonymously) and make sure that the second request is entertained only when the first one is already cancelled/served?

No, don't say periodic n show by Camenisch et al. 2006, because that restricts a user from submitting more than n requests in a given time period. However, in this case, I want to make sure a sequential treatment that doesn't depend upon the time period.

I wonder why many journals of high impact factors get frequent citations from the scholars of the 'western' world?

The link above takes you to my report summarizing the initial key findings of my research project investigating how licensed community radio stations in the UK responded to the changing circumstances caused by the UK-wide lockdown in Spring 2020.

I would be interested to learn if anyone elsewhere has done a similar survey?

My project was entitled “Digital Technologies in Community Radio Production Practices: responding to COVID-19 social distancing measures”, and was devised to ascertain how, and the extent to which, stations were able to successfully adapt and continue broadcasting as the crisis ensued.

The research has highlighted that this sector is perfectly placed to provide locally specific health and welfare updates and indeed has proved itself to be adept and efficient at responding to a crisis and incorporating new content alongside their usual entertainment and information outputs.

What are the experiences of communty radio practitioners in other countries?

What do you think about the "mediatization" o entertainment of sexist violence on television?

I am working on my research project based on 1 year content analysis of the prime time (8pm-11pm) television dramas of three entertainment channels, how much sample size of TV dramas is required?

How to perform a power analysis to calculate the sample size for a change between two periods between control and treatment group (Dif-in-Dif)?

The use of computer games at work and education is growing and will grow. Computer game technologies are distributed in parallel to applications in simulators of various means of transport and machines.

Please reply

I invite you to the discussion

Thank you very much

So in my survey, there were just 7 points Likert scale questions. The participants had to answer to what extent they agreed with the statements like "This video entertained me", and then to each video, they had to answer to what extent they agreed with the statements like "I would share this video on social media". I would like to investigate the connections between the for example the emotions and the willingness to share etc..

What is the easiest way to do that?

Thank you for your answers

Under COVID-19, many human activities are suspended, public entertainment places are closed down. Football legends are almost fully cut off worldwide.

The targets for gambler to bet are less and less, no matter football, horse racing, boxing, bar ...

How do the psychiatric addictive gambler coping with their addiction under COVID-19?

In psychiatry, psycho therapy or behavioral modification is always used. Is COVID-19 helping these addictive gambler to run out of their obsession?

Music is an essential part of life because of the expression it allows people to have, its entertainment, and its therapeutic ways for the world. Music impacts brain function and human behavior, including reducing stress, pain and symptoms of depression as well.

Listening to music at work can make you more productive.

For entertainment I just acquired some worms for my garden and the seller tells me that they are Eisenia andrei. When looking for reliable literature about the biology of these Oligochaetos I find many contradictions. However, they are very important to compost and avoid contamination of food with agrochemicals. I am going to present here a question for the intervention of the scientific community: Do you think is important to work in the study of the biology of these Oligochaetos? There are many contradictions. I can´t find nothing definitive and the worms are very important and useful. What opinions are here about it? Are 13 species in the genus? Is its taxonomy clear? I can think of many more questions to solve by scientific aproaches. What do you think about it?

In every research, we perform experiments in replicates either duplicates or triplicates or more as well. In case we do not do experiment in replicates, we won't be having the standard deviations (SD) and error bars in the figure graphs. In such a senario if we submit to a journal for possible publication what can we expect from the reviewers and editors? Is it always necessary that we do experiments in replicates as a measure of reliability or its just a research trend?

In terms of Social aspect, how much feasible ‘Internet of Things (IoT)’ would be for Museums in India and abroad?

Through this question, I want to know your thoughts about how much feasible IoT for Museum will be for the peoples and the society. How much peoples will find museums more entertaining, informative and easy access of artefacts to all kind of peoples.

What can we do to make our students more careful when it comes to basic and core subjects in Nursing? What can we do to enrich students' experience in the clinical settings to become more conducive and achieve the learning objectives? What can we do to make our students become more sensitive to patient needs, the implicit as well explicit ones?

Dear Colleagues

I would like to share with my experience and see whether you similar or different experiences. Firstly, I have a very strong clinical orientation, especially in different critical care units. I still entertain myself with nurses at the clinical setting by asking and working with patients during my work day as a course coordinator to the clinical courses. I have many issues with the opportunities provided to our students to learn by observing and by participating, under guidance, in the process of caring for patients. Often, I experience very disappointing moments in my life, I rarely experience somewhere else, when I ask students about very simple, basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, and pharmacology. Students do not have answers. I know for sure these topics have been elaborately explained to them by either me or my colleagues, in this this course or in that. But the result is usually the same; Sir, these topics have not been explained to us, you know". Well, indeed, I know that they were not honest, or perhaps they forgot. Hope to get some response.

Cheers, Lourance

Hi all,

For my thesis I'm looking into the effect of product placement in entertainment on the brand awareness of consumers. After collecting my data from questionnaires, I would like to perform an independent t-test to see if the mean of one group is significantly lower than the mean of another group. I've constructed two groups of 30 participants each (distinguished through a dummy variable). This dummy is therefore the independent variable, whereas my dependent variable has an interval nature, ranging from 0 to 7. What should I do with my data and what must i check in order to perform a reliable independent t-test.

I have a fairly solid knowledge of SAS. I am sure this may be more of a public health inquiry. Nonetheless, I would be interested in hearing some ideas and even entertaining a few collaborator requests.

Original research articles are published by commercial and society journals with a lot of effort and reasonable finances, no doubt. In the end, these organizations earn a decent profit in the first five years of publication and release through internet. Nonetheless, the research organizations also invest a lot of money, effort and intellectual accomplishment for initiating, creating, producing and publication of this new knowledge for their own, country and the world society upliftment. The creators may, however, generate some profit from patents and restrictive transfer of technology. At the same time, a massive research and knowledge is created by a large majority of researchers without much profitability. Such research mostly becomes a basis for development of salable technology, usable basic knowledge, entertainment material, luxury, leisure resources, etc. But the commercial journals would restrict free circulation of this research for at least half-a-century, until the society either forgets about it or treats as obsolete. In this scenario, the society and the original creator of the knowledge suffer the most, for no fault of theirs. Logically, copyright law should have been amended long back to correct this loss of information already generated. What is the view of researchers on this, has never been asked. Please give your views in order to advise the governments on this aspect. Link

I am writing an essay about how technology influences entertainment, and I would like some ideas, advice, or examples that could be helpful in my research.

I have proposed a session within Architectural Acoustics at the Inter-Noise in Chicago, USA, August 26-29, 2018. The organizers have given an initial approval to proceed.

The Session topic would be 5.14, Acoustical Standards and Guidelines as Basis of Design for Large Mixed-use Urban Development.

Final approval is pending sufficient interest in the topic, based on number of papers to be presented. As (provisional) Chair, I wish to invite your paper on acoustical standards and guidelines. Unfortunately, the invitation does not include any economic support to attend the Conference. It is intended to be an acknowledgement of your scientific or engineering achievements and a venue for additional contributions to the area of Acoustics, Noise and Vibration for architecture and urban planning.

The topic seeks to discuss acoustical, noise, vibration and/or environmental noise design criteria or regulatory standards for multi-building or multi-facility developments, re-developments or infrastructure development in the vicinity of existing urban development. This could include institutional, corporate or industrial campus planning and design, roadway or rail surface or underground design and construction, or other renovation and modernization within urban core areas.

For example, acoustical criteria and design guidelines as Basis of Design (BoD) for developments that include industrial plus office facilities on a common campus, or for residential, retail, dining and entertainment venues in a single municipal planned unit development or sub-division, or an urban redevelopment which includes office buildings, central plant (for multiple facilities), conference center/auditoria, outdoor entertainment venue, museum, child care facilities, and/or other facilities on a phased multi-block area. Considerations for transit, rail or roadway tunnels below buildings could be discussed. Design and construction standards need to consider acoustical needs of occupants, environmental considerations for emitted sound and for noise intrusions (either crossing property boundaries), compatibility with municipal or other jurisdiction building codes, development standards or regulations and appropriate mix of new architecture with older or historic structures.

Would you have an interest in this session, and could you author a paper for presentation? IINCE Inter-Noise ’18 abstracts are due March 12, 2018.

Information about the conference may be found at: https://internoise2018.org . I will extend formal invitations later, depending on your expression of interest.

If you are unable to join this session or do not feel like it is within your area of professional interest, I would also be pleased to accept your referral to another practitioner or senior researcher whom you may believe to have valuable information to contribute to this topic.

Than you for your consideration,

I’ve posted a paper here: “A hypothesis on the nature of light” that has interesting and testable implications regarding quantum entanglement.

The hypothesis that light is at absolute rest, and that the apparent motion of light is the reflection of an observer's own motion in time, has been shown in the hypothesis to resolve the wave/particle paradox, to make intelligible the apparent non-local behavior of light, and its status as an absolute and limiting velocity. The nature of four-dimensional motion has been shown to make apparent characteristics of light such as wavelength, coherence, polarity, interference, and simultaneity more comprehensible as manifestations of the motion of mass, rather than light. These theoretical resolutions might be expected to argue for its superiority over the common-sense belief in the nature of light, but that has not been seriously entertained to date. It is my hope that the proposed experiment here can confirm it, and lead to further experiments to better understand the motion of mass in time.

Anyone has any recommendation on the supplier for small volume III-V InP epitaxy wafers with MQW or QD growth capability?

Used to purchase from IQE but now they do not entertain small volume growth.

My project is to create and Entertainment Education program with the audience of 15-19 y o males in suburban America for the purpose of providing strategies to avoid internet addictions and risky behaviors such as distracted driving.

I want to know the beliefs, attitudes, and preceptions around what is cool, popular behavior for boys 15-19, primarily mid to high SES, predom white. What motivates them to use media and why? What would motivate them to NOT engage in media? What incentivizes them? I do not know the minds of the 2017male 15-19 and any tips on their value system would be appreciated. So far, I know sex and getting a car are on the top of their list!

When designing an ad, advertisers have a lot of choices in terms of ad execution. For example, they can choose from different types of appeal, vary the length or number of words in a business, or choose to include music or celebrity ads. There are many aspects of executions that can vary in advertising, and operational variables have stimulated much research. While additional research is needed, it is clear that two aspects of implementation are taking

The additional importance of advertising in the new digital media: interaction and entertainment value.

E-Commerce has really revolutionised almost each and every sphere of our life.It has an impact upon various sectors of an economy.I want to know its impact on entertainment industry worldwide in general,and in India, in particular.

Many learning  programs employee playful learning or at your timent to help foster a more engaged in learning environment. At what point does the value of entertainment negatively impact the learning experience? 

Do mega churches depend upon "energy stars" (lead ministers), choirs and special entertainment events to make the dream of a perfect world become true?

There are a number of possible ways to use social media to benefit learning in the classroom, but do the entertainment and social qualities/values also inhibit learning and focus.  It is too tempting to "also" check social media for other reasons in an educational context?  Do students have enough self-control or discipline? I'm not sure adults do (smile).

Is it possible to use a tool that is designed for both entertainment/social reasons BUT can also be used for learning?

There are 3,000+ TEDx curators in 170 countries around the world, offering events where people present positive ideas on technology, entertainment and design. I'm interesting in learning more about who these curators are, what motivates them and the impact of the work they are doing. I am a TEDx Curator living in Lincoln, Nebraska. 

American, Turkish and Indian soap operas are very popular amongst women and they argue that such dramas reflect the societal realities, while others say its just an exaggeration. What's true?

I am carrying out a study on the influencing factors in terms of characteristics of the content communicated by the company (i.e. posting type, media type, etc.) on its FB fanpage, over the level of brand popularity/consumer interaction interaction with branded content (measured in terms of likes, comments and shares). In particular, I found that most studies classyfing "content type" in terms of informational/functional value vs entertainment/hedonic value using the User&Gratification theory to explain why consumers have different media-usage patterns. Any idea on different type of classification of content type on social media?

Aseerzadi is a popular Pakistani drama that highlights the theme of peers in the our society and how they marry twice and thrice in the name of getting male child who would continue their legacy. I want to inquire which mass communication theory should i apply to analyse the content of the drama?

I aim to identify the theme of the drama and also what are people's opinion about the drama?

Media dependency theory

Ever since I was introduced to the basic principles of economics, I was told and made to believe that all economic decision making agents are rational. Despite its essence in the mainstream arguments, this assumption is far from being true in the entertainment industry where emotions serve as the key signals for doing or not something. From economic point of view, this industry mobilizes huge amount of capital in both developed and developing countries alike. The speed of money is also arguably highest in this sector.

I was wondering if there have been formal and rigorous studies conducted to explain the behavioral whereabouts of people in the entertainment industry.
