On social development and its quantification

New Global Development, 1999
Abstract A conceptual approach is presented for understanding and quantifying social development. The approach is extended to develop a geometric interpretation of global development. By employing two simple postulates, a mathematical model is proposed for quantifying and mapping the time history of development.

New Approach to Quantification of Privacy on Social Network Sites

2010 24th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications, 2010
Users may unintentionally reveal private information to the world on their blogs on social network sites (SNSs). Information hunters can exploit such disclosed sensitive information for the purpose of advertising, marketing, spamming, etc. We present a new metric to quantify privacy, based on probability and entropy theory.

Risk assessment quantification of social-media utilization in enterprise

2016 IEEE/ACIS 15th International Conference on Computer and Information Science (ICIS), 2016
The purpose of this study is to make social media utilization by enterprises safer, more secure, and more convenient. Enterprises use social media for marketing, but this presents a lot of risks. These risks were comprehensively extracted in our previous study, but it was only a qualitative study, so a quantitative evaluation is needed to make the ...

Quantification for social justice

Österreich verzeichnet im Verhältnis zu seiner kleinen Bevölkerungszahl jedes Jahr eine hohe Zahl weiblicher Mordopfer. Der Begriff ‚Femizid‘ ist jedoch weder definiert noch Gegenstand statistischer Erhebungen der Regierung. In meiner Forschung untersuche ich mehrere Projekte, die sich dafür einsetzen dies zu ändern.

The quantification of the social sciences: an historical comparison

2016
From the mid-19th to the mid-20th century, the various social sciences were gradually quantified. This quantification was seen as a symbol of their accession to scientific status, making them comparable to the natural sciences. However, this tendency followed relatively different paths in each of these disciplines.

Quantification of Everything (A Methodology for Quantification of Quality Data with Application and to Social and Theoretical Sciences)

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2017
This paper is about a method that is based on a generator which randomizes values that are selected between upper and lower limits, and allows the study of behavior between standalone models, and/or comparative analysis between different models. Therefrom, it is plausible to create quantity data from quality data, theorem, theory, and any scientific ...
