Measuring and analyzing German and Spanish customer satisfaction of using the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud service
No full textThis paper presents the customer satisfaction analysis for measuring popularity in the Mobile Cloud, which is an emerging area in the Cloud and Big Data Computing. Organizational Sustainability Modeling (OSM) is the proposed method used in this research. The twelve-month of German and Spanish consumer data are used for the analysis to investigate the return and risk status associated with the ratings of customer satisfaction in the iPhone 4S Mobile Cloud services. Results show that there is a decline in the satisfaction ratings in Germany and Spain due to economic downturn and competitions in the market, which support our hypothesis. Key outputs have been explained and they confirm that all analysis and interpretations fulfill the criteria for OSM. The use of statistical and visualization method proposed by OSM can expose unexploited data and allows the stakeholders to understand the status of return and risk of their Cloud strategies easier than the use of other data analysis
POLICY BRIEF #22: The future of mediapark.brussels: a chance to boost the local media industry
No full textThe Government of the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) foresees within the coming 10
years the development of the mediapark.brussels, an urban and property development project in the Reyers neighbourhood, located in the Municipality of Schaerbeek. Reyers is already the home of the Flemish and Walloon public broadcasters and other media companies located in the area. The mediapark.brussels project aims to strengthen the local media industry through the creation of a lively neighbourhood, agglomerating media activities in a media cluster. With mediapark.brussels, policy-makers strive for increased concentration of media stakeholders in a regional agglomeration, yet the success of government-driven clusters is not guaranteed and many questions are still unanswered. Marlen Komorowski, Ike Picone, and Victor Wiard summarise in this Policy Brief the main findings of the Media Clusters Brussels project
Publics de la désinformation en Belgique et au Luxembourg : étude qualitative des représentations de la dimension transnationale des troubles info-démocratiques
No full textEn s'appuyant sur 27 entretiens semi-directifs avec des utilisateurs actifs des réseaux sociaux, Luxembourgeois et Belges (francophones ainsi que néerlandophones), la recherche de Victor Wiard révèle la façon dont ces utilisateurs envisagent le lien entre désinformation et démocratie. Le concept de « théorie profane » (Nielsen, 2016) lui permet d’identifier les « troubles info-démocratiques ». En interrogeant la perception des spécificités et des différences culturelles par ces utilisateurs, il considère la désinformation comme un problème transnational. L'étude propose de relire les données recueillies auprès d'utilisateurs des réseaux sociaux dans des contextes francophones, néerlandophones, et luxembourgeois pour examiner comment les publics problématisent les niveaux local, national et transnational de la désinformati

A Norwegian grey zone: Knut Rød, Victor Lind and 'The crucial year, 1942'
No full textThis article uses Primo Levi’s concept of “the grey zone” to explore Knut Rød’s involvement in the transfer of 532 Norwegian Jews from Oslo to Auschwitz in 1942. Rød, the police chief in charge of the operation, was subsequently exonerated of any crime on the grounds that he had simultaneously used his position to help members of Milorg – the Norwegian Resistance. The legal and moral basis of this verdict has been questioned by the artist Victor Lind in a series of artworks, including his “countermonument” The Perpetrator (2005)

Deliverable 3.2.4. Folk theories of info-democratic disorders: an in-depth qualitative audience study in Belgium and Luxembourg
No full textThis research report is a continuation of D3.2.2 (Wiard et al., 2022 ) and presents the final results of the qualitative audience study on folk-theories of info-democratic disorders in Belgium and Luxembourg. The study delves into the important issue of the reception of dis-/misinformation in democratic societies, particularly in the context of major crises like the Russo-Ukrainian war and the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike previous research that focused on the production and spread of "fake news," this study shifts attention to its reception, exploring how audiences in Belgium and Luxembourg make sense of the relationship between dis-/misinformation and democratic troubles, an issue we term "info-democratic disorders." The study employs the concept of "folk theory" to understand public understandings of dis-/misinformation. It builds on a qualitative analysis of 28 semi-directive interviews with social media users, identifying nine folk theories (and over 20 branches) related to this phenomenon. The findings contribute to academic discussions on dis-/misinformation, media literacy, journalism, and fact-checking, as well as to ongoing reflections among practitioners about how to effectively mitigate dis-/misinformation. The document in attachment is an executive summary. Please contact (one of the) author(s) for access to the full 105-page report
