Covid-19 vaccines production and societal immunization under the serendipity-mindsponge-3D knowledge management theory and conceptual framework

Quan-Hoang Vuong, Tam-Tri Le, Viet-Phuong La, Huyen Thanh Thanh Nguyen, Manh-Toan Ho, Quy Van Khuc, Minh-Hoang Nguyen

Summary: This paper uses the creativity management theory to revisit the production process of Covid-19 vaccines. By absorbing and rejecting information, and through interdisciplinary coordinated efforts, vaccines were developed in a short period, and the availability of multiple types of vaccines provided more strategic options. These findings serve as important lessons for improving vaccination programs.

Evaluation of science advice during the COVID-19 pandemic in Sweden

Nele Brusselaers, David Steadson, Kelly Bjorklund, Sofia Breland, Jens Stilhoff Sorensen, Andrew Ewing, Sigurd Bergmann, Gunnar Steineck

Summary: Sweden's response to the COVID-19 pandemic was flawed due to the lack of adherence to scientific methods, disregard for scientific facts and expert advice, arbitrary policy decisions, and medical errors towards the elderly. To improve future response, Sweden needs to re-establish the scientific method, increase trust in expert institutions, and engage in self-reflection regarding its political culture.

The radically unequal distribution of Covid-19 vaccinations: a predictable yet avoidable symptom of the fundamental causes of inequality

Havard Thorsen Rydland, Joseph Friedman, Silvia Stringhini, Bruce G. Link, Terje Andreas Eikemo

Summary: The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted social and health inequalities. Although highly efficacious vaccines are now available, theories suggest that privileged individuals and countries may prioritize their own benefits, leaving disadvantaged populations unprotected. This unequal distribution puts everyone at risk, making it crucial to ensure the equitable distribution of vaccines.

Summary: The computational identification and categorization of opinions in text is crucial for providing better understanding and services to online users. However, the current multi-label automatic classification is still inadequate. This study proposes a modified MLkNN classifier that considers both in-sentence and adjacent sentence features, resulting in improved accuracy and speed in emotion classification for short texts on Twitter.

The Role of AI Attribution Knowledge in the Evaluation of Artwork

Harsha Gangadharbatla

Summary: The study found that individuals are unable to accurately identify AI-generated artwork and they tend to associate representational art with humans and abstract art with machines. There is an interaction effect between attribution knowledge and the type of artwork (representational vs. abstract) on purchase intentions and evaluations of artworks.

Finding pathways to synergistic development of Sustainable Development Goals in China

Junze Zhang, Shuai Wang, Wenwu Zhao, Michael E. Meadows, Bojie Fu

Summary: This study analyzes the impact of changes in individual SDG scores on the SDG index in China from 2015 to 2018 at the provincial level, and reveals the interactions among the SDGs. The findings suggest that the number and degree of change in SDG scores have a major impact on changes in the SDG index score, and there are similarities in SDG changes across different provinces. The study highlights the importance of prioritizing specific goals to promote the synergistic development of SDGs in China and emphasizes the need to focus on declining scores in both regions and goals for the overall implementation of the SDGs.

Research progress and knowledge system of world heritage tourism: a bibliometric analysis

Juan Zhang, Kangning Xiong, Zhaojun Liu, Lixiang He

Summary: In the field of culture and tourism integration, research on world heritage tourism has gained attention in recent years. However, there is a lack of studies on the knowledge system of world heritage tourism research. This study aims to fill this gap by conducting a bibliometric analysis of 567 publications between 1992 and 2020. The results reveal the geographic research regions, theories and methods, themes and contents, trend evolution, and future research directions of world heritage tourism research. The findings show that the number of publications is increasing, with Europe, America, and East Asia being the main contributors. The research themes and methods have become more diversified, but the theoretical system is still incomplete. Future research should focus on strengthening the theoretical system, research innovation, and cooperation in world heritage tourism research.

The Turing Trap: The Promise & Peril of Human-Like Artificial Intelligence

Erik Brynjolfsson

Summary: In 1950, Alan Turing proposed a test to determine if a machine can imitate a human well enough that its answers are indistinguishable from a human's. This idea has since driven researchers, engineers, and entrepreneurs to strive for artificial intelligence (AI) that matches human intelligence. However, a sole focus on human-like AI can lead to negative consequences, such as impacting workers' bargaining power and dependence on technology control. On the other hand, when AI is used to augment humans rather than mimic them, humans retain the power to share in the value created and ultimately generate more value. Currently, there is a bias towards automation rather than augmentation, which needs to be balanced.

Combating fake news, disinformation, and misinformation: Experimental evidence for media literacy education

Theodora Dame Adjin-Tettey

Summary: This study examines the impact of media and information literacy (MIL) on the identification of fake news and sharing intentions. The research finds that MIL-trained individuals are more likely to recognize authenticity of information and less likely to share inaccurate stories. This highlights the importance of incorporating MIL into mainstream education and continuously updating it to meet the demands of the times. Actors within the information, communications, and media ecosystem should contribute towards enhancing MIL awareness among information consumers.
