Traditional Ulama', Islamic Traditions, and Ngaji Pasanan within the Networked Society

In Ramadan, kiai in various pondok pesantren (Indonesian Islamic Boarding Schools) conduct lecturing activities known as "Ngaji Pasanan". This tradition has been going on for a long time ago till today. However, since 2017 up to now, it has been seen to be held by taking advantage of digital information technology through live streaming via Facebook, YouTube or other media platforms. In 2020, online “Ngaji Pasanan” has become a trend nationwide. This study aims to reveal the context of the online “Ngaji Pasanan phenomenon, which is carried out by the ulama' in pondok pesantren, by taking two samples, namely K.H. Mustofa Bisri and K.H. Said Aqil Siradj. Data collection and analysis used a netnographic approach. This study found that: First, Ngaji Pasanan of the two traditional Ulama' who used digital media were actually conducted offline, but were mediated by the internet and broadcast online. Second, through the online “Ngaji Pasanan”, the two traditional Ulama' not only convey the teachings in the kitab kuning but also contextualize them into socio-religious issues within the digital world, beside they also produce religious discourses and actual nationalities that are being debated by the public, whether in the online or offline context. Third, the presence of traditional Ulama' in the digital space, on the other hand, has been used by netizens to support their opinions by framing their positions on controversial religious and political issues. Fourth, the presence of traditional ulama' in the digital space is more driven by their insistence on addressing the flow of religious and national discourse in the digital space compared to their affirmation of the use of digital technology to carry out the academic tradition of pondok pesantren in Ramadan, namely "Ngaji Pasanan".

Docs.com: Social File Sharing in Facebook

Social networking sites provide a unique opportunity for users to engage in broadcast online file sharing and collaboration. In this study we examine the usage of Docs.com, which integrates Microsoft Office web documents with Facebook. In reviewing the content of Docs.com documents, we found they were equally created and shared for work, personal productivity, and play. Users actively employed relationship levels in their Facebook networks to define access to their documents. However, we also found the most viewed documents were those shared to the entire public, with Facebook notifications driving most of the traffic to these public documents. Finally, through a factor analysis of user activity four primary types of usage emerged – sharing, creating, collaborating, and consuming. Those who created and collaborated around documents had higher levels of engagement than those who just shared or consumed documents, interacting with more documents and returning on more unique days.

"Music Has No Borders": An Exploratory Study of Audience Engagement With YouTube Music Broadcasts During COVID-19 Lockdown, 2020.

This exploratory study engages with eight case studies of music performances broadcast online to investigate the role of music in facilitating social cohesion, intercultural understanding and community resilience during a time of social distancing and concomitant heightened racial tensions. Using an online ethnographic approach and thematic analysis of video comments, the nature of audience engagement with music performances broadcast via YouTube during COVID-19 lockdown of 2020 is explored through the lens of ritual engagement with media events and models of social capital. The eight case studies featured virtual choirs, orchestras and music collaborations of various genres, including classical, pop and fusion styles drawing from European, Asia Minor, South African, West African, North African, Arabic, South Asian, and East Asian cultural origins. Five overarching themes resulted from thematic analysis of video comments, including Interaction, Unity, Resilience, Identity, and Emotion. The paper contributes important theorisation that ritual engagement and social learning fosters intercultural understanding through engaging with music both cognitively and emotionally, which can in turn shape both individual and collective identity. Online platforms provide scope for both bonding and bridging opportunities. Community resilience is supported through the sharing of knowledge, sustaining music practice during social distancing, as well as emotional support shared among audience participants, with potential wellbeing outcomes.

СПЕЦИФІКА ДИДЖИТАЛЬНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ РЕГІОНАЛЬНИХ ТЕЛЕКОМПАНІЙ ДНІПРА

According to the theory of Boczkowski-García-Perdomo, the specificity of the digital activity of regional television is analyzed. The trends inherent to digital regional TV journalism are first identified as global, and then they are analyzed in detail on material of the three TV channels of the city of Dnipro, Ukraine. We choose three TV channels for the analysis: “UA: DNIPRO”, “34 channel” and “Vidkrytyy”. The choice of channels stems from the fact that "UA: DNIPRO" and "34 Channel" have a long history of operation, steady TV audiences and a certain reputation in the regional media space of Dnipropetrovsk region. These channels began their activities in traditional, broadcast TV journalism, which is considered the main one for them. Digital practices are being introduced into the news production process in parallel with the main activity. The “Vidkrytyy” is a channel created less than 5 years ago from scratch as a private one. The newsroom first launched the website, then they started the online broadcasting, and only over time, the broadcast on the city's cable networks was launched. Thus, digital journalism has been and remains an important component of the channel's television activities. The conclusions confirm the fact that the chosen theory cannot be used without taking into account the specifics of the media sector.

Potential of Dianchronous Communication of News Broadcasting on the Example of the TengriTV Online Channel

The topic of this study is related to the need to study changes in the usual documentary genres in the context of the new online broadcasting. Today, a chronicle is primarily perceived as a visual document from the past that is used as a quote or illustration in a documentary. However, being a small form of documentary filmmaking, the chronicle became the prototype of the usual news television broadcasting, which today is undergoing changes in online broadcasting, and therefore requires a separate study. The purpose of the study is to discover the possibilities of information broadcasting to continue the traditions of documentary chronicle. The main direction of scientific research was the problem of the identity of the genre of the chronicle in modern conditions. The scientific significance of the study is due to the need to systematize knowledge about the chronicle as a documentary genre in the network broadcast- ing system on the Internet. The practical significance of the work is explained by objective conclusions, which can serve as a basis for the creation of documentaries and information videos, taking into account the need to preserve in them the possibilities for asynchronous communication. The research method- ology is based on a content analysis of informational video materials of the TengtiTV online channel as an example of online broadcasting. The main results of the study show that information videos and recordings of live broadcasts carry the potential of asynchronous communication, and along with this, they have such characteristic features of the chronicle as impersonality and the presence of signs of the time. As a result of the study, it was revealed that online information broadcasting is a «classic» type of  chronicle. The important features of the newsreel are such characteristics as impersonality, simple pre- sentation, reflection of the portrait of time, potential for citation. Key words: newsreel, news story, information portal.

The Court System of China in the Digital Age: Main Developmet Ditections

The article is devoted to the study of the process of introducing digital technologies into the work of the People’s Courts of China and the issues of its legal regulation. The judicial system of the modern Chinese state is based on courts of three levels and two courts. Judicial bodies include the Supreme People’s Court, local people's courts, military courts and other special courts. For several years, various digital technologies have been used in all Chinese courts. In addition, since August 2017, special Internet courts have appeared in the PRC (three such courts have now been created in Hangzhou, Beijing and Guangzhou), which consider civil, administrative and criminal cases online without the personal presence of participants. The use of digital technologies in the judicial system of the PRC contributes to its transparency, reducing corruption, combating the spread of coronavirus, increasing the general level of legal literacy of the people. So, the creation of a unified platform for online broadcasting of court hearings online, the public disclosure of court sentences (decisions, rulings) in various categories of cases allows society to control the activities of the people's courts of the country. Considering the case online during the confrontation of the coronavirus epidemic prevents the spread of infection among participants in the process. The experience of China in the large-scale implementation of digital technologies in judicial activity is not only of scientific interest, but also important from a practical point of view for the Russian expert community. The Russian Federation has also embarked on the path of using digital technologies in litigation, but China is following it ahead of the schedule, which is important in terms of studying the results it has achieved and the mistakes made so that the Russian legislator can take them into account in their law-making activities. It is also important that China, in the process of digitalizing its national system, uses exclusively national platforms and databases. Access to information by foreign intelligence services is not possible. The main providers of digital services for the judicial system are also national corporations, which legally have the status of private companies, but in fact they are completely controlled by the СРС.

Regulating Online Broadcast Media against Offensive Materials in Malaysia

Nowadays, online broadcasting services such as, Hotstar, Hulu, Netflix, Iflix Pandora, Amazon Prime Video etc are very popular in Malaysia for original video contents. Due to the rapid growth of online broadcasting services in Malaysia, it is necessary to examine the legal and regulatory framework governing the contents of online broadcasting services. Objectives: The basic objective of this study is to scrutinize the efficacy and applicability of the Communications and Multimedia Act (1998) and other relevant laws of Malaysia in regulating online broadcasting services with special concentration on offensive materials and hate speeches. It also tries to identify the major weaknesses of the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), the main regulatory body in dealing with this specific matter. Methods: Legal and doctrinal research methodology is applied in this study followed by an analytical approach. Relevant data are collected after analyzing both the primary and secondary legal sources. Finding: Findings of the study reveals that the contents of online broadcasting services do not frequently violate the relevant laws and regulations of Malaysia and sometimes their agreement with consumers are made in such a way as to avoid legal responsibility for the contents provided. Hence, it is recommended that the online broadcasting services and its contents should be made subject to a special legal framework by enacting new laws and introducing a special regulatory body. Keywords: Regulating; Offensive materials; hate speech; online broadcasting; overthetop (OTT)

"Saturday Night Seder" and the Affordances of Cultural Arts during COVID-19.

Saturday Night Seder (SNS) was broadcast online on 11 April 2020 as a public celebration of Passover and as a benefit for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Foundation. Part seder, part telethon, and part Broadway theatrical performance, SNS was the first online event to create a national Jewish communal gathering space in the context of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and has since been viewed over 1.5 million times. This article examines SNS as a uniquely situated manifestation of COVID-19, and draws attention to the various affordances engendered by SNS for Jewish gathering, learning, and exchange. It draws upon interviews with members of the production team, featured participants, and expert informants, as well as viewer responses from Twitter and YouTube: a dataset that includes 2000 tweets and over 1800 YouTube comments. Collectively, these data suggest that cultural arts productions such as SNS have afforded an expansive network of online Jewish conversations during COVID-19, and have invited a broad audience of Jews and non-Jews into dialogue over Jewish themes and content.

Study on the Impact of Online Live Broadcast on College Students’ Consumption

In 2019,there were 504 million users in China’s online broadcast industry, and college students became the main user group in broadcast. In this paper, a questionnaire was conducted on 736 college students, showing the current situation of college students watching network broadcast. It was found that the network broadcast has a high degree of familiarity and popularity among college students. The most popular broadcast platforms used by college students are Douyin, Kuaishou and Taobao(or similar e-commerce platform) but there is a slight difference between female college students and male college students. College students buy products in network broadcast room at a relatively low and middle prices, and the produce category is very concentrated. This paper also USES the in-depth interview survey to find that network broadcast can increase the purchase desire of college students, and network broadcast can provide students with moredetailed and direct product information. College students' purchasebehavior in the network broadcast room is relatively rational,and theyhave not formed the habitual purchase behavior in the networkbroadcast room.

Models of implementation of the virtual educational environment in the process of teaching

This article deals with the problem of choosing the most optimal teaching model for teaching Russian as a foreign language. The purpose of the research is to identify and analyze possible models for the introduction of a virtual educational environment in the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language, and to determine the criteria for the effectiveness of these models. The article is based on the following practical methods: observation of classroom and extracurricular communication between teachers and foreign students, questioning of teachers and students, the method of experiment. Five models of the introduction of virtual educational environment into the practice of teaching Russian as a foreign language are identified and analyzed, and the functional capabilities of platforms and applications used in online learning are described in detail. The main problems that arise for foreign students while fully converting Russian language teaching into a distance format are identified. Russian language teaching quality is determined by three main criteria that affect the quality of teaching Russian to foreign students in a distance format using a virtual educational environment: the level of Russian language proficiency, the motivation of the student, and the language/discipline section being studied. The mixed learning model, which combines traditional classroom learning with parallel online broadcasting of classes in a virtual space, is currently the most optimal model for implementing a virtual educational environment in the teaching process. When using the mixed learning model, the necessary competencies are acquired by both students studying in the classroom and those students who, due to various circumstances, study in a distance format. The mixed education model allows the student to make a deliberate choice between traditional and innovative models, making it possible to switch from one model to another directly in the learning process.

МЕЖДУНАРОДНЫЙ КОНКУРС ИМЕНИ П.И. ЧАЙКОВСКОГО КАК ФЕНОМЕН ИНТЕРНЕТ-ТРАНСЛЯЦИИ

The International Tchaikovsky Competition has been held for sixty years and has become a tradition with an intention to renew itself. An essential aspect of this is the webcast, which, being performed at the highest level, not only develops the established democratic orientation of this competition, but makes the competition a relatively independent artistic event. The empirical base of the research is Internet broadcasting of XV and XVI competitions. Method – a comparative analysis, performed in the context of cultural knowledge. The article analyzes the features of the modern Internet broadcast of the competition, which distinguish it from previous TV and Internet broadcasts. The specific difficulties of shooting musical events related to their duration and the static of what is happening, as well as the resources that were used by the director and operators of "Medici.tv" in the creative solution of these problems, were understood. It is shown that the perception of the online broadcast of the competition is not inferior in terms of artistic criteria to the impression that the listener who attends the concert receives, but this is a different impression, not canceling, but supplementing the traditional one. On this basis, the conclusion is formed that the Internet broadcasting enriches the artistic culture. It provides the audience with new opportunities for creative perception of an artistic work. In addition, the webcast allows the art critic to carry out research on the phenomena of the performing arts at a fundamentally different level, to increase the degree of reliability of the knowledge gained. Previously, the theory of performing arts relied on an unreliable empirical research base: a single viewing and listening to a concert version of a work and memories of it. Webcasting allows multiple viewing and listening, verification of the findings, including through the use of computer programs, which allows one to overcome the degree of subjectivity that is unacceptable for science, which is inevitably present in art criticism, based on the empirical experience of a researcher attending a concert, protects against the accidents of perception that lie in wait for the listener in the concert hall. And the theory of performance objectively becomes on a par with other branches of art history - the theory of painting, architecture, musicology, studying musical notation, etc. The webcast changed the status of the Tchaikovsky Competition. Initially, in 1958, it was conceived and implemented as, first of all, a socio-political event, marking the beginning of the period of the "policy of openness" pursued by the leadership of our country. Thanks to the webcast, the competition has become a completely self-sufficient event - it exists as a “piece of art”, which you can which can be enjoyed again and again, just as we re-read works of classical literature over and over again.

Indian Hostile Narratives and Counter Narratives of Pakistan

In the 21st century, international relations and communication have been interacting with each other in an ineffable manner. It is hard to find that how international relations are conducted and which actors are involved. This all happened because of the new media ecologies with the modernization of technology. Communication has to play a very crucial role in today’s world especially in international relations. The work of Manuel Castell “Communication Power” explains how communication and new media ecologies have shaped our world in twenty first century and how relationships of power can be defined and reconfigured through communication. Manuel uses the term of “network society” & “mass self-communication”. In a “networked society” new networked pattern of relationships emerge that may be political, social and economic. “Mass self-communication” that emerged during 2000’s encouraged everyone to have their own views of the world around them and broadcast online. The power of “mass self-communication” cannot be neglected in today’s world as this phenomenon helped toppled governments in the Arab Spring starting in 2011. Now communication is not controlled by elites in society but is available to all and its power cannot be undermined. Changing media ecologies gave rise to a concept of narrative building which political actors use in order to achieve political and other policy goals.

Tasawuf Pesantren: Jalan Menuju Revolusi Spiritual

This article is guided by one core question, which is how pesantren revolutionized spirituality through Sufism. To answer these questions, the authors collected literature from the Google search engine and Google Scholar. In the search for literature, the author found that studies of the spirituality revolution can be said to be very little, while studies of mental revolution can be considered a lot. The literature taken by Google Scholar shows that the mental revolution is more popular than the spirituality revolution in Indonesia. However, the author holds that the two terms have the same goal, which is to improve morality, which is totally integrated with all aspects of individual life. This article concludes that there are six forms of approach to the spirituality revolution in pesantren, namely: First, the cultivation of the values ​​of Sufism in the field of business and entrepreneurship (entrepreneurship). Second, the acquisition of spirituality through Sufism is done by listening to music. Third, the tarekat is implemented for the rehabilitation of drug patients. Fourth, the tarekat is implemented for mental patients. Fifth, tarekat is used for trauma healing. Sixth, studies and practices of Sufism are broadcast online.

New SPE President To Help Organization Evolve Through Pandemic and Energy Transition

Ever since Tom Blasingame was announced as the 2021 SPE president more than a year ago, he had been looking forward to the day he would officially assume the highest-ranking volunteer position within the organization. That moment finally came, but not quite as he or anyone else expected. “I can assure you, I had a grand plan,” he gently quipped during his inaugural speech. “But the pandemic pretty much wiped that slate clean and led me to focus on where we and how we are to continue.” Blasingame, an SPE Distinguished Member and petroleum engineering professor at Texas A&M University, officially assumed his new duties during a small ceremony attended by invited guests and SPE staff in Houston on 2 November. The event helped kick off SPE’s Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (ATCE) in October. Reflecting one of the grand challenges facing the new president, the rest of ATCE is being held entirely online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that swept across the world earlier this year. Donning a coat and tie instead of his trademark beige coveralls, Blasingame told attendees in the flesh and those joining via the online broadcast that the theme of his SPE presidency is “Survive, Revive, and Thrive.” Along these lines, his top priority will be to steer SPE through the recovery process “while also seeking to serve the traditional needs of our members.” Noting that the industry has a long history of weathering storms, Blasingame described the headwinds being faced today as a “near-perfect hurricane” brought on by a global pandemic, financial turbulence, and a historic drop in oil demand. But he highlighted another force that is reshaping the upstream industry, one that predates the pandemic and is certainly going to outlive it. Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) criteria have in just a few short years risen from obscurity to become a major lens through which public stakeholders and global investors view upstream companies. “If you don’t know it, you’d better memorize it - put it on your pillow,” Blasingame said of the three-letter acronym.

온라인 방송에서 시청자 반응 및 의도 기반의 실시간 광고 서비스를 위한 데이터 모델링 기법

기존의 광고 서비스와 사용자의 인터랙션은 제한적이다. 개인화된 광고 서비스를 제공하기 위해, 광고 시스템은 사용자의 프로파일 및 사용자-컨텐츠 관계에 기초하여 사용자의 선호도를 예측해야 한다. 사용자의 선호도를 예측하기 위한 방법으로 추천 기법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그러나, 기존의 추천 시스템은 계산 복잡도가 높은 매트릭스를 연산을 수행하기 때문에 실시간 선호도 예측을 보장하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 미디어 컨텐츠 시청자의 반응 및 의도 기반의 실시간 광고 서비스를 위한 데이터 모델링 기법을 제안한다. 사용자 선호도를 실시간으로 예측하기 위해 사용자 히스토리 데이터는 트리구조로 구성된다. 트리 구조는 데이터 탐색 및 비교를 로그 시간 복잡도 이내에 수행 가능하다. 추천의 정확도를 향상시키기 위하여 사용자의 긍정적인 평가와 부정적인 평가를 모두 고려한 추천 알고리즘을 제안한다. 마지막으로, 실제 데이터를 통해 제안하는 추천 기법의 성능을 다양한 방법을 통해 평가한다.

Online Webcast Demand vs. Offline Spectating Channel Demand (Stadium and TV) in the Professional Sports League

This study investigates the online spectating behavior of sports fans. Due to the great mobility and low opportunity/switching costs, webcast sports fans’ spectating behaviors are distinct from those associated with traditional spectating channels such as stadium attendance or TV viewership. We explore the unique characteristics of online webcast demand in professional sports leagues by rigorously modeling all three spectating choices of sports fans. To consider the substitute relationship of the three spectating choices simultaneously, we employ a BLP (Berry–Levinsohn–Pakes)-style random coefficient model. For the analysis, we collect a comprehensive game-level dataset from the Korean Professional Baseball Organization (KBO) League fan samples from three different channels: online webcast viewership, stadium attendance, and TV viewership. We find that the demand for online webcasts is distinctive compared to that of traditional spectating channels. Notably, we find that the impact of team performance is three times stronger than that of TV viewership demand and that the impact of game quality is four times stronger than that of attendance demand. In contrast, a nonperformance variable is relatively less effective in attracting sports fans to online broadcasting. Furthermore, we find evidence of a strong retention effect of online webcast viewers. Our findings indicate that the previous spectating experience of online webcasts increases the next-time choice of sports fans for the webcast because the genuine spectating experience with distinctive webcast services (such as real-time interactive communication or various supplementary programs) can induce consumers to revisit the channel.

Longing for Home: The Impact of COVID-19 on Cambodian Evangelical Life

In Cambodia, the government's response to the COVID-19 crisis intersected with religious practice this year, as April played host both to the Christian Holy Week and the Cambodian New Year holiday, rooted in Cambodian Buddhism and indigenous religions. Typically, the Cambodian New Year celebration involves the near-complete shutting down of Phnom Penh, allowing for residents of the capital city to spend the New Year with their families in the countryside. Many Christians stay with their parents or other relatives, who remain primarily Theravada Buddhist, in the rural provinces throughout Holy Week, missing Easter Sunday services to participate in New Year's festivities at their ancestral homes. In light of the government's precautionary cancellation of the all-encompassing festivities surrounding the Cambodian New Year this spring, Christians who have previously spent Easter Sunday addressing controversial questions of interreligious interaction notably focused this year, through online broadcasting, on the resurrection of Jesus. In the United States, the near elimination of in-person gatherings has blurred the boundaries between the ministry roles of recognised church leaders and lay Christians, often women, who have long been leading unofficial services and devotionals over the phone and internet. In this article, I argue that the COVID-19 crisis, with its concomitant mass displacement of church communities from the physical to the technological realm, has impacted transnational Cambodian evangelicalism by establishing greater liturgical alignment between churches in Cambodia and in the diaspora, democratising spiritual leadership and increasing opportunities for interpersonal connectedness within the Cambodian evangelical community worldwide.

ART CONSUMPTION DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC: INFLUENCE UPON THE SENTIMENT OF LIFE FULFILMENT

Art has been present in our life since the beginning of the humanity, participating to the evolution of society and at the same time reflecting the different stages of human evolution. The aim of this paper is to offer a short analysis regarding the art consumption during the Covid-19 crisis presenting several convictions, perceptions and influences which are manifesting in the art consumers behavior. The research analyzed the influences of art upon the feeling of life fulfilment and upon convictions regarding the capacity of art to influence the life of society. The analysis is performed using data obtained from an experimental survey on a sample of 200 persons with higher education in the south of Romania. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel and contain descriptive tables. The analysis took into consideration the comparisons of the results obtained using different statistical methods. Following the analysis, it was concluded that the consumption of art continued during Covid-19 crisis, the frequency of art consume were rather high due to the availability of various Internet platforms: 75% of respondents consume at least weekly movies on Internet platforms like Netflix or HboGo; 34% of respondents consume weekly theater on Internet platforms (online TV stations, plays broadcast online, others); 73% of respondents consume at least weekly music on Internet platforms (online TV stations, music broadcast online, others). Another conclusion of the research is that the presence of art manifests influences upon the sentiment of life fulfilment and upon the convictions regarding the capacity of art to participate to the consolidation of society.
