Combating sharenting: Interventions to alter parents’ attitudes toward posting about their children online
AbstractSharenting is a recent phenomenon in which parents disclose detailed information about their children online, which can risk their children's long-term safety and parental relationships. To mitigate these risks and discourage the sharing of ...
Highlights- Sharenting, when parents post detailedly about their children online, has risks if done inappropriately.
- We tested two interventions (a video with and without a summarization task) intended to change attitudes toward sharenting.

A network approach for managing and processing big cancer data in clouds
Translational cancer research requires integrative analysis of multiple levels of big cancer data to identify and treat cancer. In order to address the issues that data is decentralised, growing and continually being updated, and the content living or ...

This short note describes how data and computing could help find cancer cures. It discusses three projects supported by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the Department of Energy (DOE); each uses machine learning to predict which tumors will respond to which drugs. The pilot projects described include one at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, which is mining 40 years of patient records; another at Argonne National Laboratory, which is building models to predict the reactions of new tumors to drugs; and the last at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, studying one critical cancer gene and its mutations. The article explains that research is combining better sensor technology with larger data records of patient experiences, and exascale computing. The author hopes that good predictive models can catch up to rapidly mutating tumor cells and predict which drugs to use. This is not a research paper; it is an introduction, but has a few references for those who wish to learn about the efforts being made. Online Computing Reviews Service
