Engagement Influence Theory
No full textRachmad, Yoesoep Edhie. 2023. Engagement Influence Theory. Peshawar Khyber Kitab Ishaat, Khaas Edition 2023. https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/mgw3x
The Engagement Influence Theory, developed by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad and detailed in his 2023 publication "Peshawar Khyber Kitab Ishaat, Khaas Edition," explores the intricate relationship between user engagement and its consequential influence on digital platforms. Initiated in 2016, Rachmad's research focuses on how different forms of engagement not only reflect user interest but also amplify the impact and reach of content within social media and other digital environments.
Background
The theory is rooted in the digital transformation that has swept across global communications, where traditional passive consumption of media has shifted towards a more interactive and participatory model. Observing the exponential growth in user-generated content and interactive platforms, Rachmad was driven to understand how engagement—likes, comments, shares, and even the duration of views—translates into influence, affecting everything from brand success to political campaigns.
Definition of the Theory
The Engagement Influence Theory defines engagement as any user action that involves interacting with content beyond passive viewing. This includes clicks, likes, shares, comments, and even more nuanced behaviors like watch time and the frequency of interaction with a content creator or brand. The theory posits that higher engagement signals stronger interest and approval, which platforms then interpret as cues to promote content more widely, thus increasing its influence.
Conclusions
Rachmad concludes that engagement serves as a crucial metric for influence in digital spaces. The more users interact with content, the more likely it is to be promoted by algorithms, thus expanding its visibility and potential impact. He argues that understanding these dynamics is essential for anyone looking to enhance their digital presence or promote specific messages effectively.
He suggests practical strategies for increasing engagement, such as creating relatable and compelling content that encourages user interaction, timing posts to when audiences are most active, and using analytics to understand what types of content resonate most with specific audiences. Additionally, Rachmad recommends engaging directly with users by responding to comments and participating in discussions, which can further enhance engagement levels and foster a loyal community.
In essence, Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad's Engagement Influence Theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding how engagement translates into influence on digital platforms. By leveraging user interactions, individuals and organizations can significantly enhance their digital strategy, ensuring their content not only reaches but also resonates with wider audiences, ultimately increasing their influence in the digital realm.

User-Driven Viral Diffusion Theory
No full textRachmad, Yoesoep Edhie. 2023. User-Driven Viral Diffusion Theory. Baalbek Haykal Kitab Nasher, Edition Khasse 2023. https://doi.org/10.17605/osf.io/8bmwh
The User-Driven Viral Diffusion Theory, developed by Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad and presented in his 2023 publication "Baalbek Haykal Kitab Nasher, Edition Khasse," delves into the role of individual users in the spread of viral content across digital platforms. This theory builds on Rachmad's research which began in 2016, focusing specifically on how user actions, decisions, and network interactions contribute to the rapid dissemination of content, distinguishing it from more traditional, top-down approaches to media distribution.
The background of this theory stems from the observation that viral phenomena are increasingly user-centric, with individuals now playing a pivotal role in content distribution through their social networks. The explosive growth of social media platforms has empowered users to not only consume but also curate and share content, making them critical drivers of viral trends.
At the core of the User-Driven Viral Diffusion Theory are several key elements that influence how content goes viral through user interactions. Rachmad highlights the importance of user engagement metrics such as likes, shares, comments, and the creation of derivative works (like memes and remixes) which significantly impact the visibility and virality of content. Additionally, the theory points out that user-driven diffusion is largely dependent on the emotional and cognitive responses that content elicits, such as humor, outrage, or surprise, which are highly effective in prompting users to share content.
The phenomena underlying this theory include diverse instances where individual users, not corporations or traditional media outlets, become the primary vectors of content distribution. This can be observed in how grassroots memes, personal vlogs, or user-generated challenges rapidly gain traction and dominate digital conversations, often outpacing the spread of content from more conventional sources.
In his conclusions and recommendations, Rachmad underscores the strategic importance of understanding user-driven dynamics for anyone involved in content creation or digital marketing. He advises that strategies aiming to exploit viral diffusion should focus on creating content that resonates deeply with users' emotions and experiences, encourages user interaction, and is easily shareable in format and substance. Moreover, recognizing influential users and network hubs within specific communities can help in initially seeding content to maximize its viral potential.
Overall, Yoesoep Edhie Rachmad's User-Driven Viral Diffusion Theory offers a nuanced understanding of how the decentralized, user-centric model of content sharing shapes the landscape of digital media. This theory is essential for marketers, content creators, and social media strategists seeking to leverage the organic, user-driven channels of content diffusion to amplify their reach and impact in the digital age.

Strengthening Mental Health together: Healthy at University and at Work
No full textThis study examines the effectiveness of an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teaching module for students on the topic of mental health. The module covers the basics of mental health and key resources to enhance it in the challenging context of academic and professional life. The lectures present theoretical content from various perspectives, while the block workshops involve exercises for personal application and reflections in small groups. The focus is on a resource-oriented approach and the promotion of a positive health experience. We assume that the module can change mental health literacy and self-reflection and insight. Taken together, this would raise mental health promotion intentions, and thus mental health-related behavior, finally enhancing. The study is divided into two parts. The first part investigate whether the investigated concepts are related to the students' mental health as postulated by the described conceptual model which reflects the module's assumed mechanism of change. The second part examines whether the variables of the conceptual model improved after the completion of the module.
The research questions are: Research Question 1: Can mental health be explained by the concepts of mental health literacy, insight orientation, mental health promotion intentions, and mental health-related behavior?
Research Question 2: (a) Can the teaching module improve mental health literacy, insight orientation, mental health promotion intentions, and mental-health related behavior? (b) For whom, when and why is the teaching module particularly effective

No full textAssessing Symptoms that may Differentiate Genuine from Simulated Dissociative Identity Disorder
No full textDissociative identity disorder (DID) can be difficult to detect due to high rates of comorbidity and symptom overlap with other disorders. Furthermore, it can be challenging to differentiate genuine cases from those who are malingering. The psychometric measures currently used to detect malingering tend to rely on trauma-related variables. Since trauma is thought to be a causal factor in the development of DID, these measures have not been particularly accurate at identifying individuals who feign DID. In addition, there has been a paucity of information, as well as misinformation, around trauma and dissociation. As a result, the risk of clinicians misdiagnosing DID has been high. A recent qualitative study by Pietkiewicz et al. (2021) identified six symptoms of DID that may be useful when determining whether an individual is feigning their symptoms. The six symptoms include hearing voices, experiencing intrusions, feeling shame about switching identities, experiencing amnesia for neutral or pleasant events, the use of first-person language, and experiencing severe depersonalisation. The aim of the current study is to investigate whether questions centred around the phenomenology of these six symptoms can determine whether someone has genuine DID, or whether they are feigning.

Comparing comparatives: Appropriateness ratings of synthetic, analytic and double comparatives in American and British English
No full textEnglish employs a variety of comparative formation strategies. Theoretical and corpus-based research has established that their distribution depends on a variety of factors. In this paper, we take an experimental approach to test analytic, synthetic, and double comparative forms in relation to register in American and British English. We report on a rating study investigating the appropriateness and interpretation in terms of evaluativity of the three comparative forms. Our findings confirm the hypothesis that the comparative variants are not considered equally appropriate, but the effect is not as strong as would be expected under the hypothesis that frequency of occurrence is directly related to linguistic judgments. The analytic and double comparative alternatives exhibit lower appropriateness levels than the synthetic comparative. Analytic and double comparative forms are rated as less appropriate in formal than informal contexts, which did not show an effect on the synthetic form. Furthermore, the analytic variant shows a different behavior in terms of the interpretation than the other forms in that a stronger effect of evaluativity is detected. Limitations and future directions are discussed. Our study is the first which provides experimental evidence for certain hypotheses emerging from corpus-based research
Communication with friends and non-friend peers: An examination of dyadic connectedness across two contexts
No full textChildren’s peer interactions provide an important setting for their developing communication skills. The current study analyses connectedness – the topical coherence of children’s conversational turns – to explore how children coordinate their interactions across two contexts. The observed connected talk of 82 same-sex dyads (N = 152 children, 58.6% male, mean age = 6.79 years, SD = 0.38) during free-play and goal-directed contexts was coded. The rates of connected talk in relation to dyad sex (girl, boy) and friendship status (friends, non-friend peers) was modelled. There was a significantly higher rate of connectedness in the goal-directed compared to free-play context, which was qualified by a friendship status by context interaction. Subsequent simple effects analysis showed that only non-friend dyads engaged in significantly more connected talk during goal-directed compared to free-play context, with equivalent connectedness across context for friend dyads. These findings highlight the role of dyadic characteristics and contextual features for children’s interactions
Breaking barriers: Cancer Pain Management and Healthcare Access for Migrants and Refugees -- A scoping review protocol
No full textPain is a common symptom of a cancer diagnosis and rises in prevalence throughout and beyond cancer treatment. The prevalence of cancer-related pain is 35.8% after curative treatment, 54.3% in patients receiving palliative treatment and 54.6% in patients with advanced, metastatic or terminal disease. Chronic pain reduces cancer patients’ quality of life and is associated with employment-related challenges and increased financial hardship.
Additionally, continuity and coordination with healthcare professionals is often difficult across the course of cancer treatment and it is not clear who is directly responsible for pain management.
Additionally, continuity and coordination with healthcare professionals is often difficult across the course of cancer treatment and it is not clear who is directly responsible for pain management. As inadequate cancer pain control is a problem that has prevailed over the years, research that explores barriers to pain management and strategies to enhance pain control are essential to decrease the burden associated with inadequate pain management and the resulting decrease in quality of life (QOL).
Levesque et al. (2013) define access to health care as “the possibility to identify healthcare needs, to seek healthcare services, to reach the healthcare resources, to obtain or use health care services, and to actually be offered services appropriate to the needs for care” .
People from refugee and immigrant backgrounds often face exclusion and discrimination, which affects their ability to integrate into healthcare systems.
As a result, migrants feel that their pain concerns or questions are not accurately conveyed, which generates miscommunication, frustration and further treatment delays. Financial burden and lack of insurance may also affect access to cancer pain management due to affordability concerns. Finally, cultural particularities influencing on individual cancer pain experiences significantly influence pain management behaviours (e.g. fear of “addiction”, mistrust, or concerns about side effects).
Due to the scarce literature regarding interventions aimed at migrants' and refugees’ access to non-cancer chronic pain management in healthcare settings (e.g. psychological, educational, physical therapy, culturally-adapted information), and, the lack of evidence evaluating cancer-related pain management in these populations, we aim to conduct a scoping review exploring access to cancer-related pain management for immigrants in the healthcare setting. Furthermore, we aim to underscore the importance of the prioritization of cancer-related pain management in healthcare planning to enhance the well-being of immigrant cancer patients and survivors.
The planned scoping review will aim to answer the following question:
- What is the range of interventions aimed at improving access and utilization of cancer-related pain management services in healthcare settings for migrants and refugees?
Inclusion criteria:
Population:
We will include interventions designed for populations of all ages, who are persons from culturally diverse backgrounds such as emigrants and immigrants. These populations are defined as the people who leave their place of residence in one country and settle in a different country. Visitors, international students, temporary workers, asylum seekers, economic immigrants, refugees, sponsored families, protected persons, permanent resident humanitarian grounds, are included in these populations.
We will include interventions aimed for people who self-reported current or past presence of cancer-related pain and/or current or past treatment (pharmacological or non-pharmacological) for cancer-related pain.
Concept:
We will examine interventions or strategies to improve access to cancer-related pain management (pharmacological and non-pharmacological). These interventions include: educational, peer education and support, social marketing and behavioral change campaigns, healthcare workforce
technical training, cultural competency training of health staff, training of lay health workers, outreach screening, health financing and coverage, supply of products, equipment, and drugs, infrastructure, improvement.
The intervention could target any one of the five healthcare systems dimensions (approachability, acceptability, availability/accommodation, affordability, and appropriateness), or any of the population’s socioeconomic determinants resulting in the incorporation of the five corresponding abilities of individuals and populations: to perceive, to seek, to reach, to pay, and to engage, in healthcare included within the access conceptual framework.
Context:
Studies from the context would include: health and medical care and community care settings where immigrant populations receive cancer care.
Type of sources
We will include studies of primary or secondary data analyses. We will include systematic reviews or scoping reviews to retrieve their included studies that met our inclusion criteria. We will exclude commentaries, letters to the editor, protocols, and trial registrations.
Strengths and limitations:
This scoping review will have several strengths. First, this review will entail a rigorous search strategy developed by a professional librarian and conducted by multiple researchers having multidisciplinary backgrounds, enhancing its quality. Second, this review will not use language restrictions during the search strategy, thereby reducing the risk of publication bias and providing the opportunity to include studies from diverse cultures and contexts. Third, we have a multidisciplinary research team with extensive experience in carrying out systematic reviews (≥50), which ensures a quality process (minimizing potential biases) and will facilitate the completion and publication of this review within the scheduled timeframe. Fourth, one of the researchers also self-identifies as being culturally and ethnic diverse and belonging to a marginalized group. These features of our team will enrich the review analysis and findings. Finally, our review will not be limited to the scientific literature available in scientific databases; thus, we will be able to capture diverse primary and community health interventions as outlined in organisational documents publicly available in other sources.
This review will also have limitations. First, there is always a possibility that some publications may not be identified by our search strategies (databases and grey literature). Second, while translating non-English articles using Google Translate will enable us to include them in the review, there is a risk of inaccuracies within translated material.
Ethics and dissemination
This scoping review does not require ethical approval since it will be based on publicly available documents. We will produce a scientific article for publication in a journal related to the field and share the published article results on social media platforms (e.g., LinkedIn). We will also share our findings through webinars, conferences and local events for lay and public audiences, researchers and health services administrators. Scoping review results will also be presented at workshops, research webinars and conferences organized by healthcare organizations or academic institutions. Finally, findings from this scoping review will set the base for developing empirical studies specifically addressing the knowledge gaps identified from our analysis
