The power of crowd-sourced social data can be combined with the precision of formal on-the-ground observations in a way that is of benefit to social causes in civil society. To do this, we are developing technological platforms, human and social processes and the underlying creative abilities to leverage social media and formal observer networks to enhance and promote social causes in developing countries. In our previous work, we highlighted the importance of social media aggregation for election monitoring using our technological platform, Aggie, for elections in Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda. In this case study, we seek to introduce new insight by sharing our experiences and understanding on leveraging formal observation techniques in validating and reinforcing the veracity of real time aggregated social media generated reports [10]. In this paper, we will treat election monitoring as an instance of civic management.
Common, complex, and burdensome to individuals and society alike, neck pain is estimated to affect more than 70% of the population at some point in life and between 12-34% of the population at a given time, with one study finding that 45.5% of office workers experienced neck pain in a 12-month period [1]. We plan to build a system that would give real time alert to the user, each time they maintain an unhealthy neck posture. The system would give a visual data analysis of the amount of time the user maintains an unhealthy neck posture and provide feedback to assume a healthy posture; and the threats involved with maintaining unhealthy posture over a long time.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
