Business process crowdsourcing : concept, ontology and decision support
This book conceptualises and develops crowdsourcing as an organisational business process. It argues that although for many organisations crowdsourcing still implies an immature one-off endeavour, when developed to a more repeatable business process it can harness innovation and agility. The book offers a process model to guide organisations towards the establishment of business process crowdsourcing (BPC), and empirically showcases and evaluates the model using two current major crowdsourcing projects. In order to consolidate the domain knowledge, the BPC model is turned into a heavyweight ontology capturing the concepts, hierarchical relationships and decision-making relationships necessary to establish crowdsourcing as a business process in an organisation. Lastly, based on the ontology it presents a decision tool that provides advice on making informed decisions about the performance of business process crowdsourcing activities.

S21.4 Spurring innovation in improving community engagement for STI prevention
Improving the input from the community is an approach for STI Prevention. For example, by engaging the contribution of the community, a ‘pay-it-forward’ dramatically improved chlamydia and gonorrhea testing among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM). In this presentation, we summarized how innovative tools were used to engage different groups of the population for STI prevention. First, crowdsourcing approaches were used to solicit the inputs from the community for developing new intervention approaches, designing intervention messages, and evaluating intervention programs. Crowdsourcing involves a group of non-experts and experts working together to solve a problem and then sharing solutions with the public. Second, designathon and hackathon methods were adjusted to develop STI intervention messages and platforms among key populations. For example, in China, a 3-day designathon (hackathon-like event) was hosted to develop an HIV testing service strategy for MSM, while MSM were invited to join the event. In 2019, a hackathon event was also conducted in China to develop a platform for MSM to seek for gay-friendly health service. Third, social-marketing and other participatory approaches were used to develop intervention tools for improving STI services.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

The Register Variation in Translated Epidemic Prevention Manuals as Emergency Language Services
Using Biber's MD model, this paper investigates the register variation in crisis translation and discovers that learned exposition is the text type that comes closest to crisis translation. Crisis translation has “explicit” and “informational” features, according to statistics. When compared to the non-translational “learned and scientific” corpus, the translated corpus includes feature of “nominalization.” Furthermore, the researchers discovered that in Biber's MD model, the variables AWL and PHC had a strong liner connection with NOMZ.

Crowdsourcing HIV Test Promotion Videos: A Noninferiority Randomized Controlled Trial in China
Background. Crowdsourcing, the process of shifting individual tasks to a large group, may enhance human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) testing interventions. We conducted a noninferiority, randomized controlled trial to compare first-time HIV testing rates among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender individuals who received a crowdsourced or a health marketing HIV test promotion video. Methods. Seven hundred twenty-one MSM and transgender participants (≥ 16 years old, never before tested for HIV) were recruited through 3 Chinese MSM Web portals and randomly assigned to 1 of 2 videos. The crowdsourced video was developed using an open contest and formal transparent judging while the evidence-based health marketing video was designed by experts. Study objectives were to measure HIV test uptake within 3 weeks of watching either HIV test promotion video and cost per new HIV test and diagnosis. Results. Overall, 624 of 721 (87%) participants from 31 provinces in 217 Chinese cities completed the study. HIV test uptake was similar between the crowdsourced arm (37% [114/307]) and the health marketing arm (35% [111/317]). The estimated difference between the interventions was 2.1% (95% confidence interval, −5.4% to 9.7%). Among those tested, 31% (69/225) reported a new HIV diagnosis. The crowdsourced intervention cost substantially less than the health marketing intervention per first-time HIV test (US$131 vs US$238 per person) and per new HIV diagnosis (US$415 vs US$799 per person). Conclusions. Our nationwide study demonstrates that crowdsourcing may be an effective tool for improving HIV testing messaging campaigns and could increase community engagement in health campaigns.

Innovative architectural design development: the Arcbazar creative crowdsourcing contests perspective
Growth and value creation have become the dominant preoccupations for today's managers/companies. That is why they have increasingly embraced crowdsourcing and co-creation as business practices, especially online. If most of them aim to increase their performance with the help of these practices, there have been cases where they have been approached in critical moments, when various businesses have found themselves on the verge of collapse, as is the case with Legos. If crowdsourcing is about getting the services, ideas or content needed, by asking for contributions from a large group of people and especially from an online community rather than from traditional employees or suppliers, co-creation is considered to be the strongest business strategy, at the moment, to involve consumers in co-creating products, services, and experiences with a unique value for both parties. In this paper, architectural design crowdsourcing will be presented as an alternative method to the acquisition of traditional design, which can overcome the potential deficiencies, faced by this sector of the creative industries, and may bring smaller projects in the field of architectural practices.

Analyse des diglossies mauriciennes : l’outil symbolique-réalité
Cette étude présente un outil théorique, nommé symbolique-réalité , pour analyser le phénomène de(s) diglossie(s) à Maurice. Cet outil théorique s’inscrit dans une approche, dite discursive , alliant pratiques et représentations linguistiques. Cette approche traite les discours (intégrés et/ou véhiculés par) des locuteurs mauriciens sur les langues – la répartition et la hiérarchisation de celles-ci –, et est complémentaire à l’approche fonctionnelle de la diglossie qui traite les usages et pratiques linguistiques différenciés fonctionnellement et statutairement. Cet outil théorique s’appuie sur une base de données obtenue à partir d’une enquête crowdsourcing .
