Communication Analysis in Bullying Prevention in Islamic Boarding Schools in Pasuruan Regency

This study aims to analyze the communication between students and administrators of Annur Assalafy Islamic Boarding School in an effort to prevent bullying. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a phenomenological method and relies on interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. Data analysis was carried out through the process of collecting, reducing, presenting data, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that there was one-way and two-way communication, with interactions such as ngaji, jagongan, and mayoran reflecting horizontal and two-way communication. Vertical communication between administrators and students and horizontal communication between students complement each other in creating a safe and supportive Islamic boarding school environment. This communication is effective in reducing bullying cases and strengthening solidarity between students. Personality factors were found to be the main cause of bullying.

The Power of Literary Discourse in Creating Ecological Awareness: First Light by Robert Russell Sassor

While the need to move studies on climate change beyond scientific research and to raise awareness about the issue in society is increasing, there is a need for mechanisms that bring discourses about climate change to the public’s knowledge. In recent days, when nature is gradually disappearing into the hands of man, it has become necessary to develop a new way of communicating with nature and natural resources. As Sassor expressed, art is more than a one-way communication tool and it is one of the most effective ways for people to shape their environmental awareness. Getting people to experience this through short stories is possible. Since short stories are literary discourses that can be read in one sitting, they are a more suitable genre for people in the hustle and bustle of the postmodern world. In this study, Robert Russel Sassor’s short story First Light has been analyzed through a discourse-centered approach. Based on the collocated words around the motifs of ‘death/suicide, regret, longing for the past, nature, sexual identity distortion, and loneliness’ it is observed that Sassor’s concerns about the deterioration of the ecological balance as well as the distortion of sexual identity in the individual come to the fore.

Evaluating the National Rollout of a Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Intervention: Qualitative Interview Study With Local National Health Service Leads Responsible for Implementation.

Approximately 4.5 million people live with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the United Kingdom. Evidence shows that structured education programs can improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of complications from T2DM, but they have low attendance rates. To widen access to T2DM structured education, National Health Service England commissioned a national rollout of Healthy Living, a digital self-management program. The objectives were to understand the barriers and enablers to adopting, implementing, and integrating Healthy Living into existing T2DM care pathways across England. We undertook a cross-sectional, qualitative telephone semistructured interview study to address the objectives. In total, 17 local National Health Service leads responsible for implementing Healthy Living across their locality were recruited. We conducted 16 one-time interviews across 16 case sites (1 of the interviews was conducted with 2 local leads from the same case site). Interview data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Three overarching themes were generated: (1) implementation activities, (2) where Healthy Living fits within existing pathways, and (3) contextual factors affecting implementation. Of the 16 sites, 14 (88%) were implementing Healthy Living; the barrier to not implementing it in 2 case sites was not wanting Healthy Living to compete with their current education provision for T2DM. We identified 6 categories of implementation activities across sites: communication strategies to raise awareness of Healthy Living, developing bespoke local resources to support general practices with referrals, providing financial reimbursement or incentives to general practices, promoting Healthy Living via public events, monitoring implementation across their footprint, and widening access across high-need groups. However, outside early engagement sites, most implementation activities were "light touch," consisting mainly of one-way communications to raise awareness. Local leads were generally positive about Healthy Living as an additional part of their T2DM structured education programs, but some felt it was more suited to specific patient groups. Barriers to undertaking more prolonged, targeted implementation campaigns included implementation not being mandated, sites not receiving data on uptake across their footprint, and confusion in understanding where Healthy Living fit within existing care pathways. A passive process of disseminating information about Healthy Living to general practices rather than an active process of implementation occurred across most sites sampled. This study identified that there is a need for clearer communications regarding the type of patients that may benefit from the Healthy Living program, including when it should be offered and whether it should be offered instead of or in addition to other education programs. No sites other than early engagement sites received data to monitor uptake across their footprint. Understanding variability in uptake across practices may have enabled sites to plan targeted referral campaigns in practices that were not using the service.

Reshaping the Teacher-Student Relationship in Higher Education Through ChatGPT

The rapid progress in artificial intelligence, especially with advancements in generative AI such as ChatGPT within Natural Language Processing (NLP), has introduced both new opportunities and challenges for traditional teaching models and the teacher-student relationship in higher education. ChatGPT's advanced deep learning and NLP capabilities have overcome limitations inherent in conventional teacher-student interactions, such as one-way communication and geographical constraints, and have promoted the growth of personalized teaching. This innovation has fostered a learning environment where "Everyone can be a teacher, every place can be a classroom, and teaching can happen at any time". However, this technology also brings challenges, including greater reliance on technology, diminished emotional connections between teachers and students, and issues related to algorithmic transparency. This paper examines ChatGPT's application in higher education, analyzing its effects on evolving teaching and learning models and the transformation of teacher-student relationships. By employing the “teacher-student-AI” triadic interaction model, the study highlights the significance of human-machine collaboration. It aims to optimize AI's self-learning processes, enhance human-centered education, and advance intelligent education in a more efficient and empathetic direction, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for transforming teacher-student relationships and improving undergraduate education standards.

Persuasive Communication: Strategy by Office of Religious Affairs to Prevent Divorce

The Ministry of Religion took anticipatory steps to prevent high divorce rates through the SUSCATIN program (Prospective Bride Course). This marriage counselling program is carried out at the District Religious Affairs Office (KUA). KUA officers carry out persuasive communication to influence and change the beliefs, attitudes, and behavior of prospective brides and grooms. The marriage counselling program has been running well and smoothly. However, statistical data shows that the divorce rate in Regency is the highest in West Java. This research aims to determine the role of persuasive communication used by KUA officers in influencing the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of prospective brides and grooms. This research uses a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods. The research results show that KUA officers can carry out counselling effectively. They can set goals, are careful in conveying messages about the importance of maintaining the integrity of marriage, and can implement persuasive communication strategies. However, the efforts of KUA officers have not been optimal. This can be seen from the still high divorce rate in Regency. The limitation of this research is changes in a person's behavior to prevent divorce in the household. The original value of this research is the ability of KUA officers representing the government to deliver development programs through divorce prevention programs using persuasive communication. In the case of community outreach, officers often use one-way (linear) and command-based (top-down) communication.

Three-party semi-quantum secure direct communication based on two communication models

Based on semi-quantum cryptography and utilizing W-state, this paper introduces two semi-quantum secure direct communication (SQSDC) protocols. SQSDC1 establishes a secret two-way communication channel between a quantum participant and two classical participants. SQSDC2 achieves efficient one-way communication from a quantum user to classical users. Security analysis demonstrates the asymptotic security of the protocols, effectively resisting intercept-measure-resend attacks and entangle-measure attacks from potential eavesdroppers. The efficiency analysis indicates high communication efficiency, with SQSDC1 achieving communication efficiencies of 20%, while SQSDC2 achieves a communication efficiency of 33.33%.

Mursyid's Communication Patterns with the Naqsyabandiyah Congregation and Its Implementation in Religious Social Life in North Labuhanbatu Regency

<em>The aim of this research is to find out how the murshids interact with the social and religious diversity of the congregation at the Naqsyabandiyah persulukan tarekat Islamic boarding school in North Labuhanbatu subdistrict. Specifically, this research will investigate and analyze how the murshids interact with the social and religious diversity of the congregation in the Pondok Persulukan environment. Apart from that, the research will look at whether the murshids are successful in implementing their communication patterns or not. Qualitative research is used to collect data as a whole. Data was collected through interviews, observation and document examination. A thorough interview was conducted with the murshid, who was a great teacher and the person responsible for the practice of persulukan. In addition, the congregation was interviewed to confirm the results of the interview with the murshid. Apart from that, observations are carried out as a method to ensure that what is conveyed is appropriate to the conditions in the field. However, data documentation consists of reference books or materials taught to the congregation by the murshid. The multi-situation research model, modified from Miles and Huberman, was used to analyze this research data. To gain novelty, research begins by presenting single site data, creating a proposition, and then conducting cross-site research. The results of the research show that the murshid's communication pattern is integrated and has no impact on the results or accuracy of the message conveyed about the tarekat's teachings on the knowledge and practice of the congregation's (communicants) tarekat teachings. Even though the murshid's communication pattern is short, or one-way communication, there is no miscommunication regarding the content of the message received by the congregation. Therefore, this short communication pattern will have an impact on the results and accuracy of the message conveyed.</em>

The process of delivering information carried out by agricultural extension workers to vegetable farmers requires an appropriate communication pattern to increase the level of knowledge of target farmers. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between communication patterns of agricultural extension workers and vegetable farmers in Tobuuha Village. The study population consisted of all vegetable farmers in Tobuuha Village, which amounted to 20 farmers and one field agricultural extension worker. The research sample was determined by the census method, resulting in a sample size of 21 individuals. Data were collected through survey techniques, interviews, and the use of documentation, with the assistance of media in the form of questionnaires. This study is a quantitative research study. The data were processed using descriptive analysis through the use of the class interval formula and correlation analysis through the Spearman Rank formula, with the help of SPSS Software Version 26. The research findings indicate that the communication patterns of agricultural extension workers with vegetable farmers in Tobuuha Village encompass one-way, two-way, and multi-directional communication patterns. One-way communication patterns and multi-way communication patterns are classified as medium, while two-way communication patterns are classified as high. The level of knowledge of vegetable farmers is classified as medium based on indicators of understanding, application, and analysis. While the level of knowledge of vegetable farmers based on indicators of knowing is in the low category, the relationship between communication patterns of agricultural extension workers and the level of knowledge of vegetable farmers is statistically significant (0.046) and positive (0.691). This indicates that the more effective the communication patterns employed by agricultural extension workers, the greater the likelihood of increased knowledge among vegetable farmers.

The Meaning of Toxic Relationship Communication for Teenagers

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of the rise of toxic relationships in romantic relationships among teenagers.

The aim of this research is to explain the motives, experiences and meaning of toxic relationship communication in romantic relationships for teenagers in Garut Regency. The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Phenomenological theory becomes the scalpel in this research to obtain an explanation for the phenomenon of toxic relationships. Data collection techniques through participant observation, in-depth interviews, literature study and documentation. The data analysis techniques in this research are data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The research results show that the motives for toxic relationships in romantic relationships vary, starting from internal factors such as obsession, narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), excessive disclosure and external factors such as the surrounding environment and the presence of an ex-lover in a new relationship. The experiences of toxic relationships that many people experience are verbal and nonverbal violence, mild depression to severe depression, trauma, hampered personal development and loss of confidence in having new relationships with other people. The communication meaning of a toxic relationship is one-way communication, a relationship that hurts each other, does not have good expectations from the romantic relationship that is being carried out and the relationship is dominated by only one party.

Misaligned Supports: Differences in Reported Health Care Worker Well-being Supports Provided and Needed During the COVID-19 Pandemic.

To describe the well-being supports provided to health care workers (HCWs) during the COVID-19 pandemic in health centers and hospitals. Cross-sectional qualitative interviews before and after implementation of a peer-based support intervention. Purposively sampled hospitals and health centers across the US. 28 site leaders and 56 HCWs sampled from 16 hospitals and 12 health centers. Site leaders and HCWs were asked to describe supports available to HCWs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thematic and content coding and analysis of interview responses were conducted using Dedoose. Both site leaders and HCWs identified a range of support resources available. Communication resources were the most frequently cited in both groups. Health care workers reported bi-directional communication, while one-way communication was emphasized by site leaders. Hospitals highlighted counseling support, particularly Employee Assistance Programs (EAP), while health centers prioritized community support. Wellness activities were more prevalent in hospital settings, while health centers offered specific workplace-provided training for HCWs. Health care workers encountered barriers when accessing support, including limited time, fear of stigma, and disruptions to their existing support networks attributable to the pandemic. While there are resources for HCWs, the available supports may not align with their needs and barriers to access may limit the effectiveness of these supports. Continued engagement between leaders and HCWs could help better align resources with needs.

It examines the changing Nepali media literacy landscape through a critical approach and analyze how the content generation has been impacted by the changing media climate.

Learning Transformation in the Digital Era: Development of Virtual Reality-Based Learning Media to Increase Student Efficiency and Creativity

During the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact was felt in Indonesia's education world, especially when learning was online or offline. Every lecturer in educational institutions is expected to provide the latest innovations to create an effective learning process. In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, the digitalization of education in Indonesia is experiencing rapid growth, and advances in information technology are an opportunity to increase creativity in learning media. One proposed method is the development of Virtual Reality-based learning media, which can support the quality of the teaching and learning process. The development of Virtual Reality-based learning media includes intelligent systems for the Informatics Engineering Study Program, and Agro-Industry Plantation Management for the Agro-Industry Management Study Program, especially at Campus 4 PSDKU Sidoarjo – Politeknik Negeri Jember. The results of the development of Virtual Reality-based learning media are in the form of visualization illustrations of students' understanding of the Intelligent Systems and Plantation Agro-Industry Management courses. This technology is expected to facilitate student participation with learning resources more efficiently than conventional learning media which only allows one-way communication. Based on the results of evaluations via questionnaires to students, it is known that learning efficiency reaches 82% when using Virtual Reality-based learning media.

A Wearable Bidirectional Human–Machine Interface: Merging Motion Capture and Vibrotactile Feedback in a Wireless Bracelet

Humans interact with the environment through a variety of senses. Touch in particular contributes to a sense of presence, enhancing perceptual experiences, and establishing causal relations between events. Many human–machine interfaces only allow for one-way communication, which does not do justice to the complexity of the interaction. To address this, we developed a bidirectional human–machine interface featuring a bracelet equipped with linear resonant actuators, controlled via a Robot Operating System (ROS) program, to simulate haptic feedback. Further, the wireless interface includes a motion sensor and a sensor to quantify the tightness of the bracelet. Our functional experiments, which compared stimulation with three and five intensity levels, respectively, were performed by four healthy participants in their twenties and thirties. The participants achieved an average accuracy of 88% estimating three vibration intensity levels. While the estimation accuracy for five intensity levels was only 67%, the results indicated a good performance in perceiving relative vibration changes with an accuracy of 82%. The proposed haptic feedback bracelet will facilitate research investigating the benefits of bidirectional human–machine interfaces and the perception of vibrotactile feedback in general by closing the gap for a versatile device that can provide high-density user feedback in combination with sensors for intent detection.

Heutagogy as an alternative in teacher education: conceptions of lecturers and pre-service teachers of school of education and life-long learning, SDD-UBIDS

IntroductionThe needs of today’s higher education have changed and higher education does not need a one-way communication from teacher to student but rather learn to appreciate the new role of the teacher as a facilitator with mutual responsibilities toward the creation of knowledge. Heutagogy, which emphasizes learner autonomy and the creation of self-determined learners, has garnered attention as a potential solution to address the evolving needs of teacher preparation. However, empirical research on the beliefs and attitudes of Heutagogy within the teacher education context remains limited. This study aimed to fill this gap by exploring the beliefs and attitudes of lecturers and pre-service teachers of the School of Education and Life-Long Learning (SoELL) at SDD-UBIDS.MethodsConvergent mixed method design with both quantitative and qualitative data analysis, the study collected both quantitative and qualitative data on 513 Pre-service teachers and 30 Lecturers from SoELL, SDD-UBIDS using a four-point Likert scale questionnaire and interview.ResultsThe findings revealed diverse perspectives among Lecturers and Pre-service Teachers regarding Heutagogy, with varying levels of understanding, acceptance, and readiness for implementation. Lecturers expressed enthusiasm for Heutagogy’s potential to foster learner autonomy and critical thinking skills, while pre-service teachers demonstrated varying levels of readiness and comfort with self-directed learning approaches.DiscussionLecturers and Pre-service teachers expressed willingness to embrace a self-determined approach in which the learner reflects on what is learned and how it is learned and where the Lecturers teach the learners how to learn by themselves. The cognitive conflict and the inadequacy of pre-service teachers’ preparedness will necessitate a shift in their attitudes toward developing autonomy skills to effectively navigate the challenges of the 21st-century knowledge economy.

Communication and Deliberation for Environmental Governance

Environmental governance occurs through and is shaped by communication. We propose a typology of public communication, classifying it by directionality (one-way or two-way) and objective (informational or operational). We then review how communication types influence individuals’ cognitive frames, values, and environmental behaviors. Though one-way communication is common, its impact is often limited to influencing cognitive frames. Research on two-way informational communication demonstrates a greater ability to align cognitive frames and values among individuals, and research on two-way operational communication demonstrates the greatest impact on conceptual frames, values, and environmental behaviors. Factors that affect the impact of communication include the medium through which it occurs, trust, timing, and social-material context. Among these, our review considers new directions in public communication research that focus on the role of digital platforms, misinformation, and disinformation. We conclude by synthesizing research on deliberative communication, a case of communication among citizens guided by democratic ideals.

Intrinsic cardiac neurons as the consulate general of the brain in the heart: A review

Contrary to the prevailing understanding about one-way communication from brain to heart, recent research has unveiled a two-way communication pathway between these two organs, featuring the delivery of signals from the cardiac afferents to the brain. While the medulla oblongata is known to send autonomic signals for cardiac function regulation, 80% of the vagal afferents send signals to the brain for cardiac regulation. The vagus nerve receives these signals from the intrinsic cardiac neurons, often referred to as “the little brain of the heart.” Intrinsic cardiac neurons are neuronal structures with the same biochemical profile as neurons, communicating with the vagus nerve through acetylcholine and expresses markers of neuronal function such as tyrosine hydroxylase and others. Intrinsic cardiac neurons also influence the autonomic system, which can be studied through heart-rate variability measures. Heart rate variability (HRV) is altered in many types of cardiac disorders and is a well-known measure for studying short- and long-term disease-related variations in cardiac function. Some psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, and major depression also exhibited alterations in HRV. HRV is related to heartbeat-evoked potentials (HEPs) and electrical potentials in the brain that are influenced by the heart. HEPs are altered in disease states and can be impacted by environmental factors. This paper reviews the existing literature concerning intrinsic cardiac neurons and their possible role in heart-brain communication.

Pattern of Mobile Phone Use in Children Diagnosed with Neuro-Developmental Disorders: A Retrospective Cross Sectional Study

Background: Digital technologies including mobile phone device have progressively become an integral part of the life of children and adolescents for communication as well as learning and playing. According to some authors, the use of mobile device constitutes a “passive” behavior or one-way communication, which takes the child away from other more useful learning processes.Objectives: To evaluate the pattern of mobile device use in children with Neurodevelopmental disorders in Bangladesh.Methods: This retrospective cross sectional type of study was conducted at Department of Paediatric Neurology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from November 2022 to April 2023. Children aged 1-5 year with neurodevelopmental disorders eg; ASD, ADHD, Isolated speech delay, Epilepsy, GDD were selected and enrolled in this study. Then children were assessed thoroughly by taking detailed history and physical examination. Neurodevelopmental assessment was done by Rapid Neurodevelopmental Assessment (RNDA). In confirmed cases, parents were asked retrogradely regarding the pattern of use mobile phone of their child. Data were collected in pre-designed structured questionnaire after taking approval of Institutional review board. An informed written consent was taken from the parents or the legal guardians.Results: Total 100 children were included. Male were outnumbered (71%) than female. Isolated speech delay was the commonest neurodevelopmental disorder (33%) followed by ASD. Average screen used time were about 3-5 hours of one-third children (38%). Majority of the parents (42.4%) were involved in their household work at the time of mobile use. More than half of the children (57.8%) use mobile phone for watching cartoon. About 50% parents believe that mobile phone having decremental effect on child’s brain development. Maternal mobile was the prime source (65.5%) for using mobile device. Conclusion: Isolated speech delay was the most commonly encountered neurodevelopmental disorder in this study. Average screen used time were about 3-5 hours for one-third studied children. More than half of the neurodevelopmental disordered children use mobile phone for watching cartoon. About half of the parents belief that mobile device have definite decremental effects on child’s brain development.

Strategic Marketing Communication for Sustainable Growth: Examining the Influence on Export Intentions and Financial Performance in Iron and Mining SMEs

The positive contributions that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make in the iron and mining industries are vital for the development of the global economy. However, their costly operations in disadvantaged regions and the green economy interests of financial institutions have made them face more financial obstacles that decrease their export and financial performance. In this regard, their ability to use marketing communication tools that are included in the dynamic capability of Resource-based View theory (RBV) can reduce their exporting and financial performance concerns. This is because using these marketing communication tools presents them with less costly marketing solutions and provides competitive advantages for SMEs against their larger-sized rivals. In this regard, this paper aims to analyze the impact of one-way (telemarketing, direct mail, website, etc.) and two-way marketing communication tools (social media platforms) on SMEs' export intention and financial performance from the iron and mining industries. The research team collected data from 1221 SMEs operating in Eastern European countries via an internet-mediated questionnaire to hit this target. The impacts of the marketing communication tools on export intention and financial performance are analyzed via the Binary Logistic Regression Test. The results show that while using one-way and two-way marketing communication tools does not affect the export intention of SMEs, it negatively affects their financial performance. The reason for these results might be related to the location and sector in which SMEs operate.

Developing Handbook of Job-Embedded Professional Development to Improve Social Presence for Teacher in Post Covid-19 Era

The Covid-19 pandemic is a challenge for teachers to be able to organize an interactive online learning process. Various problems arise in online learning, such as lack of motivation, one-way communication, an excessive amount of assignments, and low competencies and technological skills of teachers. From these problems, the authors offer an idea in the form of handbook of Job-Embedded Professional Development that will equip teachers with social presence skills. This article was compiled using the Research and Development method with a 4D model consisting of Define, Design, Development, and Dissemination. It has reached the Development stage and ready to be developed to Dissemination stage. The JEPD Model handbook is considered to increase teacher’s social presence because the training is attached to schools with flexible hours to accommodate all teachers. The training consists of 7 sessions with 56 hours of training duration and needs supervision from the stakeholders to be optimal. Keywords: teacher, JEPD, training, social presence
