چکیده

We present a preliminary study on how followers and non-followers of a popular CEO respond differently to a public apology by the CEO in Twitter. Sentiment analysis tool was used to measure the effect of the apology. We find that CEO’s apology had clear benefits in this case. As expected, it was more effective to followers than non-followers. However, followers showed a higher degree of change in both positive and negative sentiments. We also find that negative sentiments have stronger dynamics than positive sentiments, in terms of the degree of change. We provide insights on the potential for efficient crisis communication in online social media and we discuss future research agenda.

Edge pair sum labeling of spider graph

An injective map f : E(G) → {±1, ±2, · · · , ±q} is said to be an edge pair sum labeling of a graph G(p, q) if the induced vertex function f*: V (G) → Z − {0} defined by f*(v) = (Sigma e∈Ev) f (e) is one-one, where Ev denotes the set of edges in G that are incident with a vetex v and f*(V (G)) is either of the form {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±kp/2} or {±k1, ±k2, · · · , ±k(p−1)/2} U {k(p+1)/2} accordin...

Balanced Degree-Magic Labelings of Complete Bipartite Graphs under Binary Operations

A graph is called supermagic if there is a labeling of edges where the edges are labeled with consecutive distinct positive integers such that the sum of the labels of all edges incident with any vertex is constant. A graph G is called degree-magic if there is a labeling of the edges by integers 1, 2, ..., |E(G)| such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with any vertex v is equal t...
