Abstract

In recent years, social media remained not only an environment for expression, but it also became an active battlefield where its users emulate their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and experiences about the ongoing conflicts and wars, and where sometimes social manipulation techniques become difficult to identify, tackle, and counter. Currently, proper social media analytics solutions are still incipient regarding the ongoing war in Ukraine, but they are much needed. Consequently, this research aims to extract and analyze the topics discussed and the sentiments experienced by Ukrainian Telegram users on data collected in the first 2 months of war in Ukraine through a design science research in a data science methodological approach carried out in a multidisciplinary stance contributing to the ongoing strategic, socio‐ethical, and technical discourses and efforts. En los últimos años, las redes sociales no sólo han continuado siendo un espacio para la expresión, sino que también se han convertido en un frente de batalla abierto donde sus usuarios emiten sus pensamientos, sentimientos, creencias y experiencias sobre los conflictos y guerras en curso, y donde a veces las técnicas de manipulación social resultan difíciles de identificar, atajar y contrarrestar. En la actualidad, las soluciones adecuadas para el análisis de redes sociales son todavía incipientes en relación con la guerra en curso en Ucrania, pero son muy necesarias. En consecuencia, esta investigación tiene como objetivo extraer y analizar los temas discutidos y los sentimientos experimentados por los usuarios ucranianos de Telegram sobre los datos recogidos en los 2 primeros meses de la guerra en Ucrania a través de una investigación de diseño científico en un enfoque metodológico de ciencia de datos llevado a la práctica mediante un planteamiento multidisciplinar que contribuye a los discursos y esfuerzos estratégicos, éticosociales y técnicos en curso. 近年、ソーシャルメディアは表現の場であるだけでなく、ユーザーが今現在起きている紛争や戦争についての考えや、感情、信念、経験などを競い合う激しい戦場となっているが、時には、その社会的操作の技術を特定したり、その問題に取り組んだり、対抗したりすることが困難になる場合もある。現在、ウクライナで起きている戦争に関して、適切なソーシャルメディア分析のソリューションは、まだ初歩的なものであるものの、強く必要とされている。そこで、本稿では、ウクライナの戦争の最初の2か月間に収集されたデータを基に、Telegram(メッセージアプリ)でウクライナ人ユーザーが議論したトピックと経験した感情を抽出し、分析する。これは、現在進行中の戦略的、社会倫理的、技術的な議論や取り組みに貢献する、学際的な立場で実施されるデータサイエンス的な方法のアプローチによるデザインサイエンス研究を通じて実施する。
