Recently, Twitter sentiment analysis (TSA) has been successfully employed to monitor and forecast elections in many studies. However, most of the existing studies rely on extracting sentiments from explicit textual features. Moreover, only few studies have included non-textual features such as emojis for election forecasts. In this study, we incorporated N-gram features to predict vote shares of 2017 Uttar Pradesh (UP) legislative elections. Also, sentiment distribution of tweets containing emojis was significantly different from tweets without emojis. Therefore, emoji sentiments were detected and incorporated to predict the vote shares. We collected more than 0.3 million tweets, wherein geo-tagging was applied on search keywords that were not exclusive to elections. We employed seven lexicons for labelling tweets and compared two methods to reduce prediction error: sentiment magnitude-based criteria and polarity of tweets. Results show that proposed method of incorporating N-gram features and emoji sentiments significantly decreases prediction error.

Decision makers adopt the smart city paradigm as a solution to current problems of cities. They call for innovative strategies to transform cities to smart ones. The development process of strategies is hard, complex and repetitive. Identifying such a process and providing a web platform for strategies development may facilitate such a process. We identify a generalised development process of strategies from the analysis of existing smart cities initiatives. Then, we propose a web-based platform that allows stakeholders to communicate, design and share strategies for smart cities development. The platform is based on the use of ontologies for knowledge structuring and formal description of strategies. The provided framework was tested by stakeholders. They design strategies in educational domain in Sousse, a Tunisian city. The preliminary result of the use of the framework shows that the latter has been useful for stakeholders in the process of strategies development.

The participation of citizens in the decision-making of a community is the essence of a democracy. As the number of citizens grew, direct participation became utopia and delegated to elected representatives. The spread of internet allied to the population pressure for transparency in government's decisions brought mass participation back to the table. The communication channels are there, though citizens' participations have not been effective frequently because their suggestions are not mature. This paper presents a method, maturity in decision-making (MDM), for measuring the maturity of a group for a decision considering the risk of group-thinking, shallow analysis or even polarisation. We have applied the method in two scenarios with promising results.

Indonesian corporations were criticised for their poor corporate governance and disclosure practices during the 1990s financial crisis. Even though corporate governance practices have been improved, this research reveals that disclosure practices are still poor in Indonesia, particularly those practiced by family corporations. Using 21 disclosure items from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development's corporate governance disclosure benchmark that are mandatory in Indonesia, I found that there are only three corporations which provide all of these required disclosures in their annual reports and none on the webs. These poor disclosure practices may be contributed by the nature of type II agency problems, or the late adoption of recent disclosure regulations in Indonesia. Furthermore, corporate webs in Indonesia do not substitute annual reports for corporate governance disclosures. It only complements annual reports, mainly for shareholders-related information.

This paper explores the concept of online community. It is divided into three main sections. The first examines the challenge of defining the concepts of community and being online. The second looks at definitions of online community as well as the ways in which the term has been used across a wide range of contexts, covering issues of attachment, emotion, community strength, motivation for participation, and relationship to technology. The third provides a general definition of online community around six key elements: commitment; connection to others; reciprocity; interaction; agency and consequences. The paper sensitises practitioners and researchers to the contested nature of community and provides a definition that is both broad and complex.
