Digital Media : Strategy Islamic Religious For Children In Modern Era

Religious education should be taught from early childhood to navigate the life of the world and the provisions of the hereafter. Learning is a process where the basic introduction is carried out for introduction first so that there is a habit to do it. Family, environment, friends, and teachers are factors supporting educational success for children. In early childhood learning, knowledge and knowledge gained from the information absorbed, captured, seen, and captured. Being a source of influence for early childhood how being approached is bad or good. Because, early childhood is very easily influenced by their living environment, because they do not have any knowledge and meaning. The concept of Islamic religious learning in early childhood is very important. The method used in this study is the study of literature. The results of this study show that digital media-based learning in early childhood in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 is needed to provide an explanation of the implementation of the right learning media for use in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0. Islamic education for early childhood is a means to prepare students to understand, know, be piety, follow religious teachings, practice the noble morals of the Islamic religion from its main source, namely the holy book of the Quran and hadith, through teaching, guidance and practice activities.

Immobilization of Pseudomonas fluorescens lipase on chitosan crosslinked with polyaldehyde starch for kinetic resolution of sec-alcohols

The lipase from Pseudomonas fluorescens was immobilized on chitosan beads, with polyaldehyde starch (PAS) and glutaraldehyde (GA) being compared as crosslinking agents. With PAS, the best values for activity retention (53%), immobilization efficiency (94%), and hydrolytic activity in organic medium (156 U g−1) were obtained with an aldehyde content on chitosan of 3.5 mmol mg−1. With GA, the best results were an activity retention of 33%, an immobilization efficiency of 100%, and a hydrolytic activity in organic medium of 100 U g−1. When used in the kinetic resolution of secondary alcohols, the lipase immobilized on chitosan crosslinked with PAS gave a conversion of 43% in 24 h for (RS)-1-phenylethanol, and 36% in 36 h for (RS)-1-phenylpropanol. In both cases, the enantiomeric excess of the product (eep) was higher than 99%. These are promising results that support further studies into the immobilization of lipases on modified carbohydrates for use in organic media.

Measuring the effect of ground impedance on the vector field, both in air and underwater

One direct advantage to characterizing the acoustic field with a vector sensor is the ability to measure both components of acoustic energy, potential (pressure) and kinetic (particle velocity). While it is well known that the kinetic energy exceeds potential in the near-field of a source, equivalent and opposite imbalances are prevalent in the far-field due to propagation effects. For example, at normal incidence the field exhibits a distinct frequency dependent relationship that depends explicitly on the impedance of the ground reflector, including any internal reflections from sediment layers. In this paper, we examine the measured vector field, both in-air and underwater, with a specific focus the energy balance when a source is directly overhead. While the construction of a neutrally buoyant volume for use in dense media (such as water) is fairly straightforward, the application to airborne acoustics requires extremely lightweight materials. Airborne measurements are provided by an Accelerometer-based Intensity Vector Sensor (AIVS) system, which is constructed from a lightweight MEMS accelerometer and microphone embedded in a spherical, expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam volume.

ABOUT THE FORMS OF THE KAZAKH AND RUSSIAN LANGUAGES’ EXISTENCE IN THE LINGUISTIC SITUATION OF THE AKTOBE REGION

The article is devoted to one of the unexplored in the sciolinguistic aspect of the problem of the forms of existence of the Kazakh and Russian languages in the communicative space of the Aktobe region. The idea and objectives of our research are to identify the functioning and use of the literary language, dialect and dialect forms of existence of the dominant languages: Kazakh as the state and autochthonous language and Russian as the language of interethnic communication. In the proposed article we describe the linguistic situation of the region, the forms of existence of the Kazakh and Russian languages and their use in mass media, domestic communication, the definition of the functioning of dialects in the speech of the Russian population, their content is revealed on the basis of theoretical provisions on the form of the existence of languages.

Analysing New York Times Coverage of Sexual Abuse Over Time Through Natural Language Processing

Sexual abuse is a prevalent issue in modern society, having acquired prominence during the #MeToo movement in the early twenty-first century. Previous studies note that the media, as a major source of information, plays a significant role in reflecting and shaping societal perceptions of sexual abuse incidents. As a result, analyzing language use in media is crucial in forming an understanding of how inherent biases are conveyed in text. This work aims to investigate the media framing of sexual abuse using NLP techniques such as Valence Arousal Dominance (VAD) analysis and analysis of power and agency scores of verbs. This research investigates the implications of media framing of sexual abuse by incorporating computational modelling and sociolinguistic research. This approach can demonstrate how conscious and unconscious prejudices materialize in text, impacting how specific groups—in this research, victims and perpetrators—are portrayed in the media. Our results show that although the increase in coverage surrounding sexual abuse contributed to an increasingly positive view of female victims from the early 20th century—signaled by an increase in power and agency over time—they were still portrayed as having considerably less power and agency than their male perpetrators. Additionally, girl victims were portrayed with consistently less agency than women victims.

Development of a low-cost inoculum to improve composting of cattle slaughterhouse by-products

The composting process is an option for acceptable environmental management of cattle slaughterhouse by-products. The goals of this article were (i) to make a low-cost inoculum using popular supermarket ingredients and microorganisms that are already present in the composting environment, and (ii) to compare the efficiency of the composting process with and without the application of formulated inoculum. Initially, a consortium of microorganisms already present in the composting environment (Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Bacillus subtilis, and Rhodopseudomonas palustris) was prepared in a low-cost culture medium for use as an inoculum for the composting process. The composting process with the addition of the inoculum was more efficient than the composting process without the inoculum, in terms of both the chemical composition and the process efficiency, but mainly in relation to the time required for composting, with the mean times for decay of 50% of the windrows’ temperature (taking in to account the difference between internal and external windrow temperatures) being 96 days without inoculum and 65 days with inoculum. Thus, inoculum made with low-cost supermarket products reduced the composting time and yielded compost of better quality.

Portrayal of substance use in media and its effects on substance use disorders among youth

A variety of behavioral, environmental, developmental, and genetic factors have been documented as contributing to the development of Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) in youth. For example, it has been suggested that things such as the perceived availability of substances, familial history of antisocial behavior, and personal attitudes favorable towards drug use all have strong correlations to the development of substance use in youth

HATE SPEECH ON SOCIAL MEDIA: WITTGENSTEIN’S LANGUAGE GAMES THEORY

One of the most prevalent concerns on social media is hate speech. Because hate speech is mainly transmitted in text form on social media, linguistic analysis is required to determine the meaning of the hate speech. This study aims to look at the view of hate speech on social media using a literature study technique based on the Wittgenstein language game theory approach. According to Wittgenstein, language does not have a single logical structure but is complicated in its use in human life, which spans a wide range of activities. Previous research has looked at the meaning linked with language use in social media. As Wittgenstein proposes, the finding of the research is That ordinary language collected through social media data may be utilized to offer direct answers to social scientific questions. Online media that allows people to represent themselves and cooperate to share, connect with other users, and form virtual social relationships are referred to as social media. Starting with the presentation of quotes, there will be a "language game" with the concept of "from, by, and for." Finally, the author proposes using two markers to analyze hate speech on social media: typology and message content

Associations between social media use and cognitive abilities: Results from a large-scale study of adolescents

In adolescence, smartphone use in general and social media use in particular has often been associated with negative effects, such as higher anxiety levels and body dissatisfaction. Other outcomes – such as fundamental cognitive abilities and skills (e.g., intelligence, information processing, spatial perception) – have rarely been the focus of research. Here, we analysed data from a large sample of adolescents (12–16 years; N > 12,000) who performed a series of psychometric tests ranging from intelligence, spatial perception, and information processing, to practical numeracy, and compared their test results with their social media usage (average active and passive time per day, problematic social media use). We additionally applied a random-forest model approach, useful for designs with many predictors and expected small effect sizes. Almost all associations did not outperform known age- and sex-differences on social media use; that is, effect sizes were small-to-tiny and had low importance in the random-forest analyses compared to dominant demographic effects. Negative effects of social media use may have been overstated in past research, at least in samples with adolescents.

Water‐Soluble (Poly)acylhydrazones: Syntheses and Applications

AbstractAcylhydrazone‐based (macro)molecules display an increasingly broad spectrum of applications, from small therapeutic molecules and metal‐ions probes to self‐healing films and biorelevant dynamic polymers. The acylhydrazone function is indeed of prime interest since its unique design combines hydrogen bonds, pH‐dependent reversibility, ability to undergo molecular exchanges, and a possible polyvalency. However, a key parameter of its use in aqueous media is the associated water‐solubility of the resulting (macro)molecule. This property can indeed become a limitation for applications requiring high concentrations or no organic cosolvent. This review first focuses on describing the acylhydrazone function, its properties, and its relevancy in dynamic combinatorial chemistry. Then it details the synthesis strategies (molecular design, cosolvent, reaction conditions) reported in the literature to ensure a sufficient solubilization of both single‐bond and multiple‐bond acylhydrazone (macro)molecules, together with their various applications.

Introducing Audio Podcasts into a Practical Laboratory Course for Pharmacy Students as a Novel Tool for Performance Assessment.

The use of digital tools can positively impact higher education for both scholars and faculty. In recent years, it has become apparent that podcasts are a suitable medium for use in teaching. They are provided almost exclusively by lecturers for students, with students passively listening to them rather than actively participating in their production. However, this could also be valuable for students. Therefore, this pilot study investigated the extent to which the creation of a podcast would be accepted by students as a method for capturing pharmacy students’ understanding of the learning content. The evaluation was performed as part of the “Clinical Chemistry” practical course, which was attended by third-year pharmacy students in groups of three. After passing the station dealing with practical clinical chemistry relevant diagnostic systems, the groups were asked to produce an educational podcast covering the essential content on the topics of urine test strips or pulse oximetry, respectively. Student attitudes toward the adoption of podcasts as a tool for performance assessment were determined with an anonymous and voluntary survey. The respondents reported that they had fun creating the podcast, which enabled them to look at the instructional content from a different perspective. Competencies such as social and communication skills and media literacy as well as self-organized and self-directed learning were also promoted. However, the students assumed that the tool is not ideally suited for dealing with extensive topics. Nonetheless, the students clearly support the continued creation of podcasts as a performance assessment tool. In addition, they suggest integrating podcasts into other courses within the pharmacy curriculum. This may also be related to the infrequent use of novel technologies, such as podcasts, in their education thus far.

Literature review and meta-analysis of gastric and intestinal bioaccessibility for nine inorganic elements in soils and soil-like media for use in human health risk assessment.

When soils become contaminated, a human health risk assessment (HHRA) is beneficial for determining whether identified contaminants of potential concern (COPCs) pose a risk to human health. In certain jurisdictions, when calculating doses from soil ingestion during the exposure assessment step of a HHRA, validated bioaccessibility methods may be used to accurately represent a contaminant's relative absorption factor (RAF). Where validated methods do not exist, risk assessors must either a) conduct their own literature search (which can be time consuming), b) create their own validation study (also a time consuming process), or c) use default assumptions (i.e., a RAF of 1). This literature search and meta-analysis characterizes the past 28 years of published analysis for aluminum (Al), antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), lead (Pb), manganese (Mn), and mercury (Hg) from 13 different gastric and intestinal bioaccessibility methodologies. These elements were selected as they are often risk drivers in HHRAs and are sometimes identified as COPCs in HHRAs at contaminated sites. Results were compiled from soil deriving from a variety of sources and varying in physicochemical properties. The mean percent bioaccessibility and 95 percent upper confidence limit on the mean (95 UCL) were calculated to better inform further study and validation of methods for elements additional to Pb, As, and Cd, which may be applicable to future HHRAs. Although there has been plenty of study into effects of various soil and method parameters on elemental bioaccessibility, meta-analysis found limited evidence that these findings are generalizable. Meta-analysis was also limited by little variability in certain parameters, but a more targeted analysis identified some correlative influences of pH and particle size for well-studied elements within the dataset. High bioaccessibility variability indicates that moving away from default parameters to use percent bioaccessibility to represent contaminant RAF must still be completed on a site-specific basis. The study has identified that more bioaccessibility studies for Al, Cr, Sb, Fe, Mn, and Hg, particularly studies that seek to validate bioaccessibility testing of these elements, will be beneficial for more robust and informative future risk assessments.

Identifikasi Konteks Ekstralingual Virtual Bahasa Media Sosial sebagai Penunjang Analisis Bahasa sebagai Alat Bukti Hukum

One of the negative impacts of social media is the rise of language wars. Investigators involve linguists in handling language cases as evidence. In addition to considering lingual elements, linguists also need to pay attention to extralingual elements. One of the extralingual elements can be identified with SPEAKING Dell Hymes. Analysis of social media language needs to pay attention to the virtual extralingual context. This study aims to reveal the virtual extralingual context on social media. The results of this study are useful in the study of forensic linguistics. This research uses the descriptive qualitative method. Research data in language use in social media and language reports as legal evidence. The data sources are social media and police reports which are collected with documentation, listening, and followed by note-taking techniques. Data analysis used the extralingual equivalent method. The results show that each social media has language use characteristics that are influenced by user segments and service features. These characteristics will continue to change following the development of social media features and services. The virtual context of one social media cannot be used to understand the context of another social media. The forensic linguistic analysis makes the results of the analysis scientifically and legally accountable. It is based on the consideration that every result of language analysis as legal evidence made by linguists impacts one's fate.

Ant Colony Optimization-based Light Weight Container (ACO-LWC) Algorithm for Efficient Load Balancing

Container technology is the latest lightweight virtualization technology which is an alternate solution for virtual machines. Docker is the most popular container technology for creating and managing Linux containers. Containers appear to be the most suitable medium for use in dynamic development, packaging, shipping and many other information technology environments. The portability of the software through the movement of containers is appreciated by businesses and IT professionals. In the docker container, one or more processes may run simultaneously. The main objective of this work is to propose a new algorithm called Ant Colony Optimization-based Light Weight Container (ACO-LWC) load balancing scheduling algorithm for scheduling various process requests. This algorithm is designed such that it shows best performance in terms of load balancing. The proposed algorithm is validated by comparison with two existing load balancing scheduling algorithms namely, least connection algorithm and round robin algorithm. The proposed algorithm is validated using metrics like response time (ms), mean square error (MSE), node load, largest Transactions Per Second (TPS) of cluster (fetches/sec), average response time for each request (ms) and run time (s). Quantitative analysis show that the proposed ACO-LWC scheme achieves best performance in terms of all the metrics compared to the existing algorithms. In particular, the response time for least connection, round robin and the proposed ACO-LWC algorithm are 58, 60 and 48 ms respectively when 95% requests are finished. Similarly, the error for scheduling 120 requests using least connection, round robin and the proposed ACO-LWC algorithm are 0.15, 0.11 and 0.06 respectively.

Reverse Pulse Plated Ni-La-Cr-Fe High Entropy Alloy as a Conversion Coating for Use in Chloride Media

Особенности продвижения брендов кондитерских изделий в новых медиа

We consider new media, their characteristics and different approaches to the definition of the concept of “new media”. We present ways to promote confectionery on the example of brands: “Nutella”, “Oreo”, “Snickers”, “Kinder”, “Babaevsky” and “Mega Drive”. We describe in detail the tools that brands use in new media. The emotional marketing of the “Oreo” brand and the success of its promotion in social networks: a solar eclipse, “Oreo-style photos”, “you can dip in the dark” are some of the brand’s most successful advertising campaigns. We also consider the following cases: computer code for 7 million cans of “Nutella” – the brand’s experience in product customization for the mass consumer in Italy; advergaming mechanism in the “Snickers” advertising campaign; experience in creating and using the Hungerithm application to adjust the price of a candy bar depending on the anger of users on social networks; advergaming with augmented reality elements of “Kinder” and “Oreo” brands; experience of the “Kinder” brand on the example of the Applaydu application and integration with the voice assistant “Alice”. “Big Oreo Searches” – the brand’s experience in creating an application for finding virtual cookies in an offline environment. We present the experience of promoting the brands “Babaevsky” and “Mega Drive” in e-sports on the example of the competition between “Fathers” and “Children”. We also consider the essence of the omnichannel concept and its effectiveness in promoting confectionery brands.

HOW POPULAR IS SOCIAL MEDIA IMAGE GRATIFICATION AS A RESEARCH THEME IN TOP JOURNALS?

Understanding why people use social media provides an insight into the nature of behaviours in social networking where sharing images or photos and like other users’ posts are some preferred social media user’s behaviours. Theory of Uses and Gratifications posits that the audience actively chooses a type of media that suits their needs. Motivations are explained by the questions of why users use social media and what gratifications they derive from their use, and whether they prefer to use images rather than texts or even videos. Prior studies found that there are distinctly different gratifications resulting from the use of images in social media. This research paper hereby explores a thematic review of the top journals regarding the motives of image use in social media from the year 2017 to 2020. The strategy of the research was to investigate through a comprehensive number of review articles on the images used in social media and the result was then analysed. From the literature, the findings of the code-to-document report have highlighted several research patterns or themes in the motives of image use in social media. The results benefit the future direction of later research and narrow the gap between research solutions on image use in social media in the context of gratifications.

Staff awareness of the use of cannabidiol (CBD): a trust-wide survey study in the UK

IntroductionCannabidiol (CBD) is now a legal substance in Europe and is available in ‘high street shops’, usually as CBD oil. However, in the United Kingdom (UK), there is no clear consensus among healthcare professionals and organisations over how to manage CBD use in their patients. This is an important issue as CBD is a constituent of ‘medicinal and recreational cannabis’ and is gaining support in the scientific literature and lay media for use in physical and mental health problems. Given the aforementioned, this study is an exploration of healthcare professionals’ beliefs and attitudes with regard to CBD.MethodsIn July 2018, we sent requests by email to approximately 2000 clinical staff (including 319 physicians) at a mental health trust in South West London to answer 8 questions in a single survey using Surveyplanet.com, about their beliefs regarding CBD. There was no specific method of choosing the staff, and the aim was to get the email request sent to as many staff as possible on each service line. We did an analysis to see how the attitudes and beliefs of different staff member groups compared. We also gave them space to offer free text responses to illustrate their ideas and concerns. We used chi-squared tests for comparison across groups and used odds ratio for pairwise group comparisons.ResultsOne hundred ninety surveys were received in response, and of these, 180 were included in the final sample. The physician response rate was 17.2% (55/319); the response rate for non-physicians could not be estimated as their total number was not known at outset. 32.2% of the responders had the right to prescribe (58/180) and 52.8% had an experience of working in addiction services (95/180).We found that staff members who can prescribe were 1.99 times as likely to believe CBD has potential therapeutic properties compared to those who do not (OR = 1.99, CI = 1.03, 3.82; p = 0.038) and 2.94 times less likely to think it had dangerous side effects (OR = 0.34, CI = 0.15, 0.75; p = 0.006). Prescribing healthcare professionals were 2.3 times as likely to believe that CBD reduces the likelihood of psychosis (OR = 2.30, CI = 1.10, 4.78; p = 0.024). However, prescribing healthcare professionals with the ability to prescribe were 2.12 times as likely to believe that CBD should be prescription only (OR = 2.12, CI = 1.12, 4.01; p = 0.02). Individuals experienced in addiction services were 2.22 times as likely to be associated with a belief that CBD has therapeutic properties (OR = 2.22, CI = 1.22, 4.04; p = 0.009). Staff in general reported a lack of knowledge about CBD in their free text responses.ConclusionsWith almost 95% of prescribers being physicians, they appear to demonstrate awareness of potential therapeutic benefit, reduced likelihood of psychosis and seeming lack of dangerous side effects with CBD. However, their higher stringency about the need for prescription implies an attitude of caution. There was also a suggestion that biases about cannabis were influencing responses to questions as well. The external validity of this study could be diminished by sampling bias and limitation to a single mental health trust. Nonetheless, some of the results drew a reasonable comparison with similar studies.
