Актуальность данной статьи определяется тем фактом, что из-за пандемии COVID-19 и введенных ограничительных мер в России в последние годы востребованность образовательных программ, предоставляемых в дистанционном виде, заметно выросла. В этих условиях у преподавателей вузов ввиду технических и технологических особенностей онлайн-коммуникации возникают трудности с оценкой степени вовлеченности как отдельных студентов, так и всей группы обучающихся. В статье предложен алгоритм оперативной оценки степени вовлеченности обучающихся на основе невербальных проявлений поведения. Вовлеченность рассматривается как феномен коммуникации, проявляющий себя в синхронизации поведения его участников. В статье представлены результаты анализа видеозаписей двух лекций с использованием метода оценки различий кадров (frame-differencing method) и математического метода выявления синхронности CRQA (Cross Recurrence Quantification Analysis), разработаны и описаны алгоритмы оценки индивидуальной и групповой вовлеченности студентов. Статья предназначена для широкого круга специалистов, заинтересованных в совершенствовании технологии онлайн-образования.

Dermatological issues pose a frequent challenge for small clinical practitioners, presenting a spectrum of conditions encompassing otitis, pyoderma, anal sac problems, flea allergy, and atopic dermatitis (AD). Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic and recurring skin condition characterized by distributed skin lesions. In recent decades, researchers have shown a keen interest in AD due to its increased prevalence in developed countries. While various treatment strategies, including biological and immune modulators, are available for AD, each has certain limitations. Researchers have exhibited a significant interest in managing AD with herbal medicines. The use of herbal drugs for AD could potentially eliminate local and systemic adverse effects associated with long-term corticosteroid use, as well as reduce the high cost of therapy with biological drugs. This review discusses traditional East Asian herbal medicines as well as scientific data related to newer herbal extracts or compositions for the treatment of AD. The paper also delves into in vivo animal models and in vitro cell cultures that have been investigated with herbal medicines to establish a potential role in the treatment of AD. In conclusion, herbal medicines could serve as a better and safer complementary and alternative treatment option for AD.

Effectivity of Alternative System Learning depends on several factors, including the learning environment. Despite the crucial role of ALS in providing educational opportunities to diverse learners, little is known about how students perceive their learning environment and navigate challenges within School-Based Learning Centers. This study investigates the perceptions and experiences of Alternative Learning System (ALS) students within School-Based Learning Centers in Angeles City. This research employed a combination of exploratory and descriptive, qualitative design. Through cluster and purposive method, sixteen (16) participants from School-Based Learning Centers in Angeles City, participated in the one-one-one, in-depth interviews. A researcher-crafted interview guide was used to collect data until data saturation. Following manual qualitative data analysis, themes were generated using framework grounded in Ecological Systems Theory and Symbolic Interactionism Theory. Two major themes were identified: (1) Enabling Environment and (2) Supporting System where each theme was further divided into specific sub-themes. The ALS program embodies SDG 4 by providing out-of-school youth and adult learners access to alternative education, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility. The study highlights the effectiveness of ALS schoolbased learning centers in promoting equity in education for marginalized groups. Insights from the perceptions and experiences of ALS students can inform policymakers and stakeholders about areas for improvement in ALS programs to further enhance quality and accessibility.

We use original survey data from China to examine gender differences in exposure to, and the exchange of, information critical of their respective governments via the Internet and social media. Existing research suggests that men, generally, tend to be more politically engaged than women. We set out to test whether this extended to dissident political engagement in the Chinese context, and if it translated into variation in support for protest across gender, and across political context. Compared to other Asian nations, China has relatively high gender equality. Yet, due to the social, cultural, and political structures in China, we expect that women will be less active online, less likely to consume critical media, and less likely to engage in political dissidence than their male counterparts. We did find that men were more likely to be critically digitally engaged in China. However, we found that while critical digital engagement was positively related to support for protest, this...

This study aims to examine the structural relationships between problematic social media use (PSMU), social anxiety on social networking sites (SNSs), social media burnout (SMB), and discontinuous use from a stress-strain-outcome (SSO) framework. The research sample is 715 college students in Türkiye (58.5% female, M age : 21.71). Based on the SSO framework, PSMU and users' social anxiety on SNSs were identified as stressors. In response to these stressors, users' experience of SMB was determined as strain. As a result of this strain, users' discontinuous use of SNSs was identified as the outcome. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that SMB mediated the negative effect of PSMU on discontinuous use. The mediating effect of SMB was moderated by users' social anxiety on SNSs. Users' social anxiety on SNSs had a buffering moderating effect on the relationship between PSMU and discontinuous use. The moderating effect of users' social anxiety on SNSs was significant in the positive relationship between SMB and discontinuous use. SMB was positively correlated with both PSMU and discontinuous use. Similarly, self-evaluation anxiety and shared content anxiety were positively correlated with both PSMU and discontinuous use. These findings provide empirical evidence for the relatively new "SMB paradox" literature and extend the "paradox of social anxiety" phenomenon, which reveals contradictions in the face-to-face socialization process, to social media. The results demonstrate complex relationships between the antecedents of discontinuous use from the SSO framework.

This study explores the decline of Qur'anic reading and writing guidance at Ma'had Al-Jami'ah IAIN Ambon between 2022 and 2025. Although students recognize the importance of this guidance, factors such as low internal motivation, limited time, and lack of discipline have become major obstacles. A qualitative method was used to collect data through observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicate the need for improvements in motivation, facilities, and evaluation systems so that Qur'anic guidance can be achieved optimally. Abstrak: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi kemunduran pembinaan baca tulis Al-Qur'an di Ma'had Al-Jami'ah IAIN Ambon antara 2022 dan 2025. Meskipun mahasiswa memahami pentingnya pembinaan, faktor seperti rendahnya motivasi internal, keterbatasan waktu, dan kurangnya disiplin menjadi kendala utama. Metode kualitatif digunakan untuk mengumpulkan data melalui observasi, wawancara, dan studi dokumentasi. Temuan menunjukkan perlunya perbaikan dalam motivasi, fasilitas, dan sistem evaluasi agar pembinaan Al-Qur'an dapat dicapai secara optimal.

Social media play an increasingly significant role in education; however, how international students in community colleges use social media is unknown. The student engagement theory and constructs on the impact of social technology underpinned this research. The purpose of the qualitative descriptive study was to explore, describe, and understand the experiences of international students to determine whether their use of social media influenced their engagement with their selected community college. The research asked how international students described why they used institutionally hosted social media to interact with their college administration and peers and how their use influenced their engagement with a community college. Eleven international students participated in interviews; they had F1 Student Visas and were enrolled in a Mid-Atlantic Community College (a pseudonym) for at least two semesters. Thematic analysis revealed three themes: Social media engagement is often used for personal reasons, preferred practices of engagement with professors and classmates, and current use concerning college engagement. Findings showed that Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram helped participants stay updated about current events in MCC and communicate with instructors. The study recommends that administrators and educators consider social media use and activities as tools for recruitment purposes, increased engagement, communication, and collaboration in learning.

Perkembangan teknologi digital di era revolusi industri 4.0 telah membawa perubahan besar dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan, salah satunya adalah dalam bidang produksi konten multimedia. Video menjadi salah satu bentuk konten paling populer di dunia maya, baik untuk kepentingan hiburan, edukasi, promosi bisnis, hingga dakwah. Dalam konteks ini, aplikasi penyuntingan video (video editing) menjadi alat penting yang menunjang kreativitas dan produktivitas masyarakat digital. Salah satu aplikasi penyunting video yang cukup populer di kalangan pengguna mobile adalah KineMaster. KineMaster merupakan aplikasi editing video berbasis perangkat seluler yang menawarkan fitur lengkap dan profesional, mulai dari pemotongan video, efek transisi, layer teks dan gambar, hingga fitur green screen. Aplikasi ini memungkinkan siapa saja, termasuk pemula, untuk menghasilkan konten video berkualitas tinggi hanya melalui smartphone. Tak heran jika KineMaster banyak digunakan oleh pelajar, content creator, UMKM, bahkan ustadz atau da'i digital yang membuat konten dakwah. Namun, dalam konteks ekonomi Islam, setiap alat atau produk digital harus dianalisis kesesuaiannya dengan prinsip-prinsip syariah. Penggunaan aplikasi seperti KineMaster tidak hanya dilihat dari fungsinya, tetapi juga dari aspek monetisasi, hak cipta, nilai konten, dan struktur bisnisnya. Aplikasi KineMaster pertama kali dikembangkan oleh perusahaan asal Korea Selatan bernama NexStreaming Corp yang kini telah berganti nama menjadi KineMaster Corporation. Perusahaan ini berbasis di Seoul dan memiliki spesialisasi di bidang pengembangan aplikasi multimedia untuk perangkat seluler. KineMaster dirilis secara resmi pada tahun 2013, dan sejak saat itu terus berkembang mengikuti tren dan kebutuhan pasar. Nama KineMaster berasal dari gabungan kata "Kine" (kinetic atau gerakan) dan "Master", yang mencerminkan tujuan utama aplikasi ini memberikan kontrol penuh (mastery) dalam mengedit video yang dinamis.

Employers today look for certain qualities and skills in their prospective employees in addition to the academic qualifications which make the job market very competitive. These skills are called 'Employability skills. These skills may not be job-specific, but enhance and improve the individual's performance and value at the workplace. Every Graduate Student dreams for a job with good remuneration once he/she receives a degree. But many of the graduates are not able to get an employment and those students who are getting the employment they are being paid with less salary even after investing a lakh of money on their higher education. The general reason found behind this situation is a gap between what skills the industry/employers are expecting and what the skills graduate students are having with them. The present research paper discusses about the issues, concerns related to the Employability skills which every graduate should possess to get an employment opportunity. Paper also suggests some remedial actions to resolve the employment problems of the same students and promote the concept of Entrepreneurship where students will become 'Job giver' than 'Job seeker'.

Perkembangan teknologi digital telah mengubah secara fundamental cara manusia berkomunikasi. Media sosial, aplikasi pesan instan, dan berbagai platform digital memudahkan interaksi tanpa batas ruang dan waktu. Namun, kemudahan ini juga membawa dampak negatif, salah satunya adalah menurunnya kesantunan dalam berbahasa, khususnya dalam penggunaan bahasa Indonesia. Fenomena ini menjadi perhatian serius karena bahasa bukan hanya alat komunikasi, melainkan juga cerminan budaya, identitas, dan etika sosial bangsa. Kesantunan berbahasa merupakan aspek penting dalam menjaga keharmonisan sosial dan membangun komunikasi yang efektif. Di era digital, kesantunan berbahasa Indonesia menghadapi tantangan yang kompleks dan memerlukan pendekatan strategis agar nilai-nilai luhur bangsa tetap terjaga.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for Bangladeshi higher education, offering solutions to persistent challenges such as outdated curricula, inadequate infrastructure, and limited access to resources. This study examines the current state of AI adoption in Bangladeshi universities, explores its future potential, and identifies key challenges that hinder its integration and implementation. Using a mixedmethods approach, the research incorporates surveys, interviews, and document analysis to assess the impact of AI on teaching, learning, and administrative processes. Findings reveal that while private universities such as BRAC University have initiated AI-driven learning tools, public institutions struggle with infrastructural limitations, insufficient funding, and a lack of trained educators. Additionally, limited internet penetration, particularly in rural areas, and the absence of a comprehensive national AI strategy exacerbate these challenges. Despite these obstacles, AI has the potential to revolutionise higher education in Bangladesh by enabling personalised learning, bridging urban-rural disparities, and preparing students for AI-driven job markets. The study emphasises the significance of policy interventions, capacity-building programs, and strategic investments in overcoming these barriers. By providing evidence-based recommendations, this research contributes to the discourse on the equitable and sustainable implementation of AI in Bangladeshi higher education, serving as a model for other developing nations facing similar challenges.

The proliferation of fake news in our time presents a major challenge to public discourse and informed decision-making. As social media platforms expose individuals to vast amounts of information, distinguishing between credible content and misinformation has become increasingly difficult. This paper examines the mechanisms that facilitate the spread of fake news, including clickbait headlines and emotional manipulation, which exploit cognitive biases and contribute to the virality of misleading narratives. Emphasizing the urgent need for enhanced media literacy, the study advocates for educational initiatives that equip individuals with critical thinking skills to assess information sources effectively. By fostering media literacy, societies can strengthen resilience against misinformation, promote trust in reliable sources, and support evidence-based decision-making in an increasingly complex information landscape.

Di zaman digital, media sosial telah berfungsi sebagai alat utama dalam berinteraksi, mengedarkan irformasi, dan mempengaruhi pandangan publik. Akan tetapi, kebebasan berpendapat yang diberikan oleh media sosial sering kali disalahgunakan, sehingga menyebabkan penyebaran informasi palsu, ujaran kebencian, hingga pencemaran nama baik. Dalam hal ini, etika komunikasi menjadi elemen yang sangat krusial untuk diperhatikan. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk meneliti prinsip-prinsip etika komunikasi dari sudut pandang Al-Qur'an dan hubungannya dengan penggunaan media sosial. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif-deskriptif dan metode kajian pustaka, penelitian ini mengidentifikasi ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an yang menyoroti pentingnya kejujuran, kehati-hatian dalam menyampaikan informasi, serta larangan ghibah dan fitnah. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Al-Qur'an menawarkan arahan moral yang kokoh untuk umat Islam agar terus memelihara adab dan etika dalam berinteraksi, termasuk di ranah digital. Oleh sebab itu, pemahaman dan penerapan etika komunikasi berdasarkan Al-Qur'an di media sosial sangat krusial untuk menciptakan masyarakat yang sehat, harmonis, dan bermoral.

ABSTRACT
This study examines the phenomenon of hate speech on social media with a focus on exposure patterns, psychological impacts, and coping strategies. The study involved 60 university students as respondents (56.7% female and 43.3% male) aged 17-22 years old through a quantitative survey method. The results revealed that Instagram was the most widely used platform (96.7%), followed by TikTok. As many as 55% of respondents reported frequently to very frequently encountering hate speech, especially in the form of personal insults (75%). Emotional impacts included sadness (40%), anger (28.3%) and fear (8.3%), with 73.3% of respondents admitting to experiencing distress. Education level was the main factor influencing respondents' perceptions (51.7%). Based on these findings, the study recommends strengthening digital literacy and media education programs as effective preventive solutions. The results of this study reinforce the importance of educative and preventive responses to hate speech in the digital space.

This study examines the impact of TikTok social media usage on the learning motivation of 11th-grade students at SMAN 1 Sampang. Through a survey method using Google Forms, data were collected from students of class 11 Merdeka 2 to analyze their TikTok consumption patterns, its influence on academic motivation, and contributing factors. Results indicate that 50% of students spend 1–3 hours daily on TikTok, primarily for entertainment (90% of users), with only 5% accessing educational content. A significant negative correlation was found between prolonged TikTok use and learning motivation, as 50% of respondents reported increased laziness in studying due to distractions from the platform. Key factors exacerbating this issue include TikTok’s addictive algorithm, instant gratification culture, and social pressure to follow trends. Despite some students employing self-regulation strategies (e.g., screen-time limits or app deletion), 25% admitted to taking no action to mitigate TikTok’s impact. The study concludes that uncontrolled TikTok use undermines academic focus and suggests collaborative interventions among students, schools, and parents to promote balanced digital habits. Recommendations include integrating educational content into TikTok, school-led digital literacy programs, and parental monitoring.

Jejaring sosial Path merupakan salah satu media sosial yang sifatnya pribadi. Hanya orang-orang yang sudah berteman dengan pengguna yang kebanyakan merupakan kerabat dekat saja yang dapat melihat aktifitasnya di media sosial tersebut. Karena sifatnya yang private pengguna akan cenderung membuka diri karena merasa percaya bahwa pengguna yang lain akan memahami apabila berkeluh kesahkan di media sosial. Namun, sering kali pengguna berperilaku tidak empati terhadap pengguna lain. Perilaku tidak empati berkorelasi dengan bullying, yang dapat menimbulkan konflik.

Objectives
The article presents the results of a survey that took place among persons with international protection in the Czech Republic in the years 2020-2022 and focused on the use of media in the autonomous learning of Czech as a foreign language. The primary objective was to investigate how the evolution of new media impacts the independent and regulated development of language competences in the Czech language, as perceived by individuals with international protection. Additionally, in the event of significant changes, the study aimed to identify the specific skills that should be emphasized in integration language courses of Czech as a second language.
Methods
As part of the investigation, a total of 27 structured interviews and corresponding number of survey entries were interpreted on the basis of phenomenological analysis.
Results and conclusions
The investigation showed that persons with international protection are well aware of the possibilities of using media in autonomous learning of Czech as their second language and that they use both traditional and new media for this purpose.

Developments in the field of technology have changed people's lifestyles to become more practical. Today's society is more likely to do online shopping activities because it is considered very efficient and effective. This study uses a literature study research method whose data is obtained from several previous studies and other sources such as articles, journals, books and documents related to the theme of this research. This study shows that shopee is the world's leading online shopping application that sells a variety of needs that can be easily accessed via smartphones. However, without realizing it, online shopping activities actually foster a shopaholic nature for some people, especially teenagers. Teenagers today shop not according to need, but for sheer pleasure. Because teenagers pay more attention to symbols related to consumption which are used as identities, social and cultural strata.

This article discusses the importance of digital migration for Muslims as an effort to transform behavior in surfing the internet towards good, positive, and responsible ethics. In a digital era that is full of information, opinions, and hoaxes, Muslims are required not only to be technologically literate but also to have digital literacy and moral awareness in accordance with Islamic teachings. The concept of digital hijrah is taken from the meaning of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH's hijrah which symbolizes the change from darkness to enlightenment, which in the digital context means moving from a passive and destructive digital lifestyle to a productive, selective, and dignified lifestyle. This article emphasizes the need for Islamic communication ethics on social media which includes verifying information (tabayyun), maintaining speaking and writing manners, as well as respecting privacy and avoiding digital bullying (cyberbullying). With demishin, digital migration becomes a strategic need to form a healthy, civilized, and valuable virtual society, as well as a challenge for Muslims in maintaining integrity and morality in cyberspace.

The phenomenon of hate speech and cyberbullying on social media has become a serious challenge, especially among Generation Z, who are highly active digital platform users. This article aims to analyze the Ulumul Quran approach as the study of Quranic sciences in addressing these issues through the application of Islamic communication ethics. The research method employs a qualitative literature review, examining relevant Quranic verses alongside contemporary literature on communication ethics and Generation Z's behavior on social media. The findings indicate that Quranic principles such as tabayyun (verification of information), prohibition of ghibah (backbiting), and qaulan sadida (truthful speech) serve as effective foundations for fostering healthy communication ethics and mitigating the negative impacts of hate speech and cyberbullying. This article recommends integrating Ulumul Quran values into education and social media regulation to cultivate a responsible and ethical Generation Z in the digital era.

Fenomena viral di media sosial seringkali melibatkan batasan antara kebebasan berekspresi dan pelanggaran privacy (Infringement Privacy). Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana interaksi digital yang intensif berkontribusi pada penciptaan konten viral, sekaligus memunculkan risiko pelanggaran privasi individu. Dengan pendekatan kualitatif, studi ini menganalisis kasus viral yang menimbulkan perdebatan tentang privasi, termasuk bagaimana audiens, kreator konten, dan platform media sosial berkontribusi dalam membentuk dinamika tersebut. Akun "Fufufafa" merupakan salah satu konten viral pada platform X, mencerminkan dinamika ini. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa popularitas konten sering kali dicapai dengan mengorbankan privasi subjek, baik secara eksplisit maupun implisit. Hasil penelitian menyoroti pentingnya regulasi yang lebih ketat dan edukasi digital yang komprehensif, untuk menjaga keseimbangan antara kebebasan berekspresi di dunia maya dan penghormatan terhadap hak privasi individu.

Use of technology has revolutionized our society. Social media is the form of technology which is greatly influencing our social life. Education is a social process and social media can effectively be used in teaching learning process. The aim of this study was to find out the students preference of technology (Skype, Face book, Twitter, Whatsapp and mobile SMS) usage for their learning engagement (teachers notes, quizzes and feedback). All the undergraduate students of public colleges of district Sialkot were selected as the population of this study while 67 students were randomly selected as the sample of this study. The researchers employed the mixed method to explore the learners preferences regarding engagement in which questionnaire as a quantitative tool and interview a qualitative tool to triangulate the data were used. The results of this study indicated that students were well aware of the use of social media in teaching and learning process. Skype was most preferred media of students learning engagement. Facebook was the second preferred media for students learning engagement while whatasapp, mobile sms and twitter were the least preferred media for students learning engagement. Therefore, the researchers recommend that before the integration of the technological applications in the learning process a careful analysis of the social media may be performed. On the basis of this data the preferred media is Skype usage. Now it's up to the technical experts to consider the different applications of Skype in learning process.

Mobile phones have undergone a remarkable transformation over the years, from being basic communication devices to powerful computing devices that offer a plethora of features and functionalities. Today, as the capability of the mobile phone becomes more and more sophisticated and multifunctional, adolescents and young users are becoming increasingly dependent or "addicted" to this technology not only for interpersonal communication through voice or text (such as Short messaging service-SMS), but also as a tool for seeking information online, for entertainment, relaxation, passing time, picture and video taking, expression of status and identity, and other yet-to-be invented applications (Leung, 2007). Survey method was used to collect the data. Self-structured questionnaire and Mobilr Phone addiction by Velayudhan and Srividya were used to collect the information from 124 students studying in BSc in Private degree college Ankola. an average spent time on mobile is 5 hours in week days as well as holidays among all students, more time spent on social media & for entertainment purpose compared to study purpose. There is no difference in male & female students. The popular apps among college students are WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram, which reflects the current trend among the youth. Other commonly used social media apps include YouTube, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter, and Share Chat, while Hot star, Sony, and YouTube are popular entertainment apps. Only a few students use Amazon, PUBG, Pinterest, and Google Pay. The study shows an increasing trend in the usage of WhatsApp and Instagram, where people often use different names and identities. This can lead to the rapid spread of fake information as people are in a hurry to forward or share messages without verifying their authenticity. This may result in misunderstandings and even breakups in relationships. The study found that among male students, 43% were low in addiction percentile, 51% were moderately addicted, and only 5.4% were highly addicted. Among female students, 41% were low in addiction percentile, 40% were moderately addicted, and 18% were highly addicted. Although the percentage of highly addicted students is low, there is no significant difference in low

TikTok is a top-rated social media app used by U.S. college students, so understanding what users like and dislike about the platform is an important endeavour for contemporary media and communication scholars. To investigate such perceptions, 468 college students completed an online survey about their likes and dislikes associated with TikTok. In total, 13 unique themes emerged for likes and dislikes, respectively. The like themes included humorous content, variety/diversity of content, being entertained, community educational content, algorithm/personalisation, user interface, TikTok culture/references, short video content, creative outlet, emotion/stress management, relatable content and trending content. The dislike themes were addictive nature, negative interactions, uninteresting content, influencers/attention-seeking, cancel culture/platform drama, privacy concerns/fake news, negative emotions/mental state, revealing content (nudity), political content, TikTok platform guidelines, app functionality, advertisements and trending content. Results revealed college students' perceptions of TikTok's most likeable and unlikeable characteristics and users' satisfaction with TikTok compared to other social media platforms.

This study aimed to explore current-day young adults' experiences with their smartphones and social media and the impacts of their usage on wellbeing. Twenty semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed via inferential statistics and content analysis. Results suggest that young adults' perceptions of their smartphone and social media use may be inaccurate. Awareness of this discrepancy may prompt a desire to change current usage habits. Additionally, participants confirmed (and dismayed) previous uses, gratifications and drawbacks of smartphones and social media while identifying new ones. Participants also offered nuanced explanations and interpretations of when and how smartphones and/or social media interfere with daily life. They clarified the activities performed that positively and negatively contribute to well-being. This study highlights how smartphone and social media use has changed over time and provides evidence for the need to continually reexamine understandings of smartphones and social media usage among young adults as time passes.
