Crowdsourcing, Attention and Productivity
[article]
2008
arXiv
pre-print
The tragedy of the digital commons does not prevent the copious voluntary production of content that one witnesses in the web. We show through an analysis of a massive data set from YouTube that the productivity exhibited in crowdsourcing exhibits a strong positive dependence on attention, measured by the number of downloads. Conversely, a lack of attention leads to a decrease in the number of videos uploaded and the consequent drop in productivity, which in many cases asymptotes to no uploads

Coordination and Efficiency in Decentralized Collaboration
[article]
2015
arXiv
pre-print
Environments for decentralized on-line collaboration are now widespread on the Web, underpinning open-source efforts, knowledge creation sites including Wikipedia, and other experiments in joint production. When a distributed group works together in such a setting, the mechanisms they use for coordination can play an important role in the effectiveness of the group's performance. Here we consider the trade-offs inherent in coordination in these on-line settings, balancing the benefits to

... ration with the cost in effort that could be spent in other ways. We consider two diverse domains that each contain a wide range of collaborations taking place simultaneously -- Wikipedia and GitHub -- allowing us to study how coordination varies across different projects. We analyze trade-offs in coordination along two main dimensions, finding similar effects in both our domains of study: first we show that, in aggregate, high-status projects on these sites manage the coordination trade-off at a different level than typical projects; and second, we show that projects use a different balance of coordination when they are "crowded," with relatively small size but many participants. We also develop a stylized theoretical model for the cost-benefit trade-off inherent in coordination and show that it qualitatively matches the trade-offs we observe between crowdedness and coordination.

Social networks that matter: Twitter under the microscope
[article]
2008

pre-print
Scholars, advertisers and political activists see massive online social networks as a representation of social interactions that can be used to study the propagation of ideas, social bond dynamics and viral marketing, among others. But the linked structures of social networks do not reveal actual interactions among people. Scarcity of attention and the daily rythms of life and work makes people default to interacting with those few that matter and that reciprocate their attention. A study of

Relação Médico-Paciente e Relação Perito-Periciando: diferenças e semelhanças
2017
Saúde Ética & Justiça
Introdução: A relação médico-paciente é a base da Medicina e está fundamentada nos princípios da beneficência, não-maleficência, justiça e autonomia. A perícia médica surgiu diante da necessidade da aplicação de conhecimentos técnicos no âmbito do Direito. As diferenças entre essas duas atuações médicas é objeto de conflitos que dificultam a atuação do médico perito. Objetivo: Estabelecer as diferenças e semelhanças entre a relação médico-paciente e a relação perito-periciando. Material e

... s: Revisão de literatura de artigos e periódicos em língua portuguesa na base de dados Scielo e em livros especializados sobre o assunto. Discussão: A relação médico-paciente se baseia em confiança mútua, estabelecimento de vínculo mútuo, busca por um resultado em comum: diagnóstico e tratamento; há coerência entre a comunicação verbal e não verbal, a anamnese constitui o principal método propedêutico, sendo os exames complementares solicitados para auxiliar o diagnóstico e há o compromisso com o sigilo profissional. Já a relação perito-periciando possui uma natureza investigativa, não havendo uma relação de confiança mútua, a finalidade é o esclarecimento da Justiça e o sigilo profissional não fica restrito ao binômio perito-periciando. A semelhança entre essas duas relações está relacionada à conduta do médico que deve ser pautada na técnica, no respeito, educação e abstenção de julgamentos morais e de valores, além da necessidade de atualização por parte do profissional. Conclusão: A relação médico-paciente e a relação perito-periciando apresentam características peculiaridades e algumas delas são inconfundíveis. Em ambas as situações observamos a importância da atuação médica como essência desta relação e suas consequentes implicações morais, jurídicas e éticas.
