This document summarizes a research study that examined sense-making elements and in-group communication in an online Asperger's discussion forum. The researchers analyzed the frequency of "verbing phrases" used in forum posts, the proportion of solo posts without responses, and whether elements of sense-making interaction changed over time. Key findings included that forum participants frequently engaged with one another, situated discussions in specific time and space, and empathized more abstractly. The study was limited by its small sample size but provided insights into how online communities collectively de-individualize members to reinforce group identity.

This document explores PubMed Commons, a post-publication social media forum, and its implications for medical librarians. The authors analyzed forum activity and message ideas to understand how invited authors use the forum and what types of posts benefit medical professionals. They found most PubMed articles do not receive comments, forum activity is highest for recently published articles, and message ideas include validating information, disputing findings, responding to criticisms, and redirecting readers to additional resources. The authors conclude PubMed Commons may help identify credible information, provide access to authors, accelerate science, and allow for questioning of published work.
This document describes a technique for exploiting blind SQL injections on ASP/ASP.NET applications that have access to XP_CMDSHELL but do not display errors or outputs. The technique uses XP_CMDSHELL to create a VBS script that maps the Windows directory to a virtual IIS root with execution permissions, allowing remote execution of system32 binaries over HTTP. The technique can confirm vulnerabilities even in completely blind environments and grant remote command execution privileges on the target application.
This document describes a pilot program at an urban community clinic to provide point-of-care patient education (POCPE) to asthma patients using social media and portable media devices. The program aimed to educate patients on proper use of metered dose inhalers. Videos were created and uploaded to a private YouTube channel to demonstrate inhaler use. Surveys found that using these innovative tools improved patient understanding compared to traditional methods. Lessons learned can help other clinics develop similar POCPE programs to better educate patients.
The document proposes a framework for how emotional intelligence can moderate dysfunctional mental models and improve knowledge sharing.

This document summarizes a qualitative research study examining the dynamics involved in medical encounters that require an interpreter. The study involved interviews and focus groups with 39 healthcare providers from various specialties. The providers discussed considerations for choosing between using a professional interpreter versus other options like family members or bilingual staff. Key factors included time constraints, the clinical complexity and privacy needs of the situation, institutional policies, building trust and compassion with patients, and navigating the complex interpersonal dynamics between the provider, patient, and interpreter.
This document discusses key considerations for designing persuasive messages, including source credibility, message style, channel selection, and audience characteristics. It outlines various models of how persuasion works, noting there are multiple paths such as peripheral routes using source credibility or central routes engaging with message arguments. Ultimately, the greatest persuasive impact depends on understanding the audience and how they will decode and interpret the message.
Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old dyslexic and ADHD student, is accused of stealing Zeus' master lightning bolt. Percy, his friend Grover, and his friend Annabeth go on a quest to find the bolt and clear Percy's name. They face many monsters and gods. They discover that it was Luke, a former camper, who stole the bolt for the titan lord Kronos. Percy retrieves the bolt and returns it to Zeus, preventing war between the gods. However, Luke betrays them and tries to kill Percy with a scorpion before escaping.
This document summarizes a scoping literature review on image-based information systems designed for and used by dermatologists. The review identified four key concepts in system development: users (which include dermatologists, other medical professionals, patients, and the general public), system types (proprietary LAN systems, secure PACS, EHRs, teledermatology, and websites), system purposes (diagnosis, training, collaboration, consumer health info), and access/security concerns (interoperability, privacy, regulations). The results suggest implications for developers and professionals to incorporate user experience testing prior to designing new systems.
The document analyzes the use of PubMed Commons, a forum on the PubMed database for scholarly discussion. Through social network analysis and content analysis of posts, the researchers found:
1) The social network of authors brokering connections on the forum was small and disconnected, with only 12 authors connecting.
2) Content analysis of posts revealed common themes of discussing, inquiring, disputing, and validating information about published articles.
3) While the forum provides a venue for open scholarly exchange, overall interaction and influence on the PubMed database has been minimal to date.
