Summary: Social media is a powerful tool for disseminating verified health information, and the roles of healthcare professionals and institutions in ensuring the accuracy of conveyed information are increasingly relevant. This study aimed to analyze the roles of healthcare professionals and institutions in the conversation about colostomy, without being part of a specific health communication campaign, and to understand the use of reliable information in this conversation. The analysis of Twitter messages containing the hashtag colostomy and Chron revealed that healthcare accounts significantly influenced the impressions generated on the network, with nurses being the most active healthcare professionals. In contrast, institutions did not actively participate in the network. These findings highlight the responsibility of institutions for health education and the need for professionals to improve their communication skills on social media to support public health campaigns through these important channels.

Summary: This systematic literature review explores the current use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in emergency departments and its impact on the work design of ED clinicians. The majority of AI applications focus on aiding with clinical decisions and reducing overcrowding in EDs. While some studies suggest that AI has the potential to outperform human skills, it is evident that current technology has limitations in achieving this. Nevertheless, AI-based tools can still provide valuable support for clinical decision-making and help alleviate the increasing clinical burden.

Summary: In the last decades, organizations worldwide have replaced their fragmented and home-grown information systems with standardized Enterprise Systems. However, the logic embedded in these systems may not be congruent with the cultural context of the user organization, requiring specific attention from implementers. By analyzing published cases from firms operating in different cultural contexts, we developed a cultural alignment theory of Enterprise Systems using Hofstede's cultural values framework. Our model provides implementers with insights to develop implementation strategies that consider the cultural context.

Summary: Legitimacy theory explains how individuals assess an organization's behavior and decide whether to publicly express their legitimacy judgments. This research focuses on the influence of peer endorsement and evaluators' cognitive effort on the expression of legitimacy judgments. The study includes experiments and a field study conducted on social media, revealing that peer endorsement encourages evaluators, especially those with limited cognitive effort, to express their judgments. Additionally, the evaluative mode of the evaluators influences their expression of judgments based on instrumental, moral, or relational considerations.

Summary: We investigate the impact of project complexity on the choice of project management strategy and propose a framework to assist managers in selecting an appropriate strategy. We differentiate project complexity based on two dimensions - structural complexity and dynamic complexity - resulting in four generic project types. Four generic project management strategies are identified to align with these project types. This complexity framework for project management enables key stakeholders to determine a more effective project management strategy and related practices based on project content, internal context, and external environment.
