Abstract

Transmedia storytelling, defined as the narrative practice that unfolds across multiple platforms, has transformed audience engagement in the era of media convergence. This study aims to examine the dynamics of audience participation, emphasizing patterns, emotional responses, and engagement trends through advanced quantitative techniques. Leveraging Social Network Analysis (Kalogeras, 2014), sentiment analysis, and predictive modeling, this research analyzes audience behavior using real-time data from social media platforms such as Twitter, Weibo, and Reddit, focusing on transmedia campaigns like Stranger Things and The King’s Avatar. This methodology collected and processed 20,000 social media posts and 1,305 survey responses. SNA found that 18 percent of users accounted for 65 percent of content dissemination, and four distinct clusters of audience. An overwhelmingly positive sentiment was found in the sentiment analysis, 82% with positive sentiment towards interactive elements like the Surfer Boy Pizza hotline, 10% neutral and 8% negative sentiment mainly focusing on narrative fragmentation. The strongest predictor of engagement was sentiment score (β=0.79) followed by multimedia content (β=0.52) in predictive modeling. Text only posts fared poorly compared to posts that featured multimedia, posting a 45% lower engagement rate. The findings highlight the importance of the influence of key influencers, emotionally resonant content and platform specific strategies in order to maximize the audience participation. The research contributes actionable strategies to further transmedia storytelling campaigns by addressing challenges such as fragmented participation and narrative coherence. The lessons from these insights apply across industries, including entertainment, education and advocacy, providing a data driven approach to navigate the intricacies of audience dynamics in a convergent media environment.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic disease significantly impacts patients with type 2 diabetes, who often present with recalcitrant peripheral ulcers. The angiosome model of the foot presents an opportunity to perform direct angiosome-targeted endovascular interventions to maximise both wound healing and limb salvage. A systematic review was performed, with 17 studies included in the final review. Below-the-knee endovascular interventions present significant technical challenges, with technical success depending on the length of lesion being treated and the number of angiosomes that require treatment. Wound healing was significantly improved with direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty, as was limb salvage, with a significant increase in survival without major amputation. Indirect angioplasty, where the intervention is applied to collateral vessels to the angiosomes, yielded similar results to direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty. Applying the angiosome model of the foot in direct angiosome-targeted angioplasty improves outcomes for patients with recalcitrant diabetic foot ulcers in terms of primary wound healing, mean time for complete wound healing and major amputation-free survival.
