Integrating Projects Working Around An Open Database Of Published Music Recordings

Toni Sant

University of Salford, United Kingdom

Outside the immediate purview of the expansive WikiProject Music on Wikipedia, there are at least three other projects relating to capturing structured data about published music recordings through Wikidata, Wikibase, and other Wikimedia platforms. One is the AfroSounds project, led by Oreoluwa (Wikimedia User:ReoMartins) from Nigeria since 2022. Another is the proposal by Daniel Antal (presented at the 2024 CEE Meeting) to build a music data sharing space with Wikibase starting with music published in Slovakia, inspired by the Luxembourg Shared Authority File project. And the third is the work of the Malta Music Memory Project, developed by the author with the M3P Foundation since 2009, using a MediaWiki site and Wikidata. The author extends an open-ended invitation to academic researchers to collaborate on the development of an integrated data structure and workflow model – including possibilities for automation through bots – for published music recordings that is applicable to Wikidata. The aim is to enable systematic data gathering on a global level, building on existing datasets currently held by music publishing platforms and organisations who seek to make it more findable. Considerations for restrictive database rights that sometimes preclude integration into Wikimedia's open knowledge ecosystem, may require staging via Wikibase, rather than Wikidata, in the first instance.

Understanding the Role of Sociodemographic Variables in Patient-sharing Provider Networks: A Social Network Analysis Approach

Shakir Karim, Dr. Jin Xue, Dr. Hoonyong Lee

University of Sydney, Australia

Effective collaboration among healthcare providers is essential for delivering high-quality healthcare services and improving patient outcomes. Synergies from interdisciplinary efforts yield more significant benefits than individual efforts alone. However, ineffective collaboration, poor communication, and inadequate care coordination often result in poor efficiency, such as misdiagnoses, poor patient engagement, and suboptimal treatment management. Understanding the structural dynamics of patient-sharing provider networks (PSNs) is vital for evaluating healthcare service efficiency. This study employs a social network analysis (SNA)-based approach to construct PSNs and evaluate how PSN structures and patient sociodemographic factors influence healthcare operations and service delivery. It uses administrative claims data collected from the Macarthur and Parramatta-Hills district regions of New South Wales (NSW), Australia. The analysis compares two regions and explores socio-demographic attributes—gender, age, education, and income—examining their influence on healthcare accessibility. Findings indicate that Macarthur has lower graph density than Parramatta-Hills, reflecting weaker provider connections. Macarthur’s higher clustering coefficient indicates strong local coordination, with providers frequently sharing patients within small groups. Degree centralisation is lower in Macarthur, while closeness centralisation is higher, demonstrating greater provider accessibility. The results highlight key areas for improving healthcare coordination and efficiency by analysing provider relationships. In addition, the findings suggest that comprehensive network analysis provides critical insights into the structure and effectiveness of healthcare systems. Finally, this research offers a network-based perspective on healthcare collaboration, presenting valuable recommendations for policymakers and healthcare stakeholders to improve providers' service quality and optimise resource allocation in Australia’s healthcare system.

Social Capital Impact on Free Riding Behavior in Padang’s Self-Guards Managed Railway Crossing

Davy Hendri1, Nurmina Nurmina2

1UIN Imam Bonjol Padang, Indonesia; 2Universitas Negeri Padang

An unguarded railway level crossing in Padang, Indonesia, presents a critical safety risk. This study investigates how social capital’s community group size, and duration of residence in the neighborhood interact to influence collective action for shared safety. The collective action is in the form of conscious participation in an initiative to finance railway crossing guards provided from, by and for the community. Using two-stage probit regression, the analysis uses duration of residence in the neighborhood as an instrumental variable for social capital to address potential endogeneity. Not necessarily, the longer residents live in the neighborhood generates the willingness to participate. It is possible that living longer in an area leads to a decline in social capital due to economic stagnation and social fragmentation. Especially in disadvantaged neighborhoods. These dynamics illustrate the complex interactions between duration of residence, group size and social capital. These interactions will lead to a wide variety of responses in maintaining grassroots safety efforts.

Social Networks in Post-Memorandum Greece: Two Comparative Case Studies of Social Reflexes

Maria Georgia Antonopoulou

University of Athens, Greece

Greece faced bankruptcy in the 2010s, leading to three economic adjustment memoranda that lasted over eight years. These memoranda caused a collapse in GDP, a significant decrease in workers' purchasing power, and a dramatic rise in unemployment, culminating in a social crisis that remains latent to this day.

This article examines two distinct yet significant cases of social mobilization through social media and networking. The first case study focuses on the Efood cancellation incident in the fall of 2021. Through social media, particularly Facebook, a movement emerged advocating for delivery workers and their protection from the termination of their employment contracts by the Efood platform. We explore how the movement began, its rapid expansion throughout the day, the factors that influenced significant mobilization via social media, and the subsequent demobilization following the positive reaction of the employer to the workers' demands.

The second case we investigate is Stefanos Kasselakis's election as leader of the Syriza party within less than a month. Kasselakis launched a campaign primarily through Facebook and TikTok, aimed at engaging Meso-level networking and fostering a sense of identity and change within the Syriza party's network. This paper examines his influence on social networking platforms and the measurable quantitative data from the subgroups that formed almost spontaneously to support his candidacy in September 2023.

Finally, we compare the social reflexes activated in both cases to gain a deeper understanding of the social and institutional crisis resulting from Greece's ongoing polycrisis.
