An Evaluation of the Effect of Social Media Platforms on the General Population's Decision-Making About Cosmetic Procedures in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia.

Background and objective Aesthetic procedures are one of the most commonly performed medical procedures. Surgical and non-surgical cosmetic treatments that are routinely performed include breast augmentations, rhinoplasty, botulinum toxin, and fillers. Several factors contribute to the increase in the popularity of these procedures, including body image dissatisfaction, the opinion of peers, and surgeon-related factors such as the surgeon's reputation, board certification, or years of experience. In addition, recent evidence suggests that active and passive usage of highly visual social media that focuson appearance-centric contenthave been positively associated with the acceptance of, and desire for, cosmetic procedures. In this study, we aimed to investigate the influence of social media on individuals' decision-making in terms of cosmetic procedures. Method The setting for this population-based cross-sectional study waspublic places in Makkah City, Saudi Arabia, and it was conducted from September to November 2021. Our study includedadults above the age of 18 years. The exclusion criteria were as follows: non-Arabic speakers and individuals with congenital anomalies or dysmorphic dermatological diseases.The final sample consisted of 364 participants. All analyses were carried out using IBM SPSS Statistics version 28 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY). Continuous and categorical variables were compared using ANOVA and Pearson's Chi-squared test. Result A total of 364 participants were included in the study, and 80% of them used their phones on a daily basis for>4 hours per week. The mean age of the participants was 27.4 ± 8.3 years, and they had a mean BMI of 25.0 ± 6.4 kg/m2; 60% of the participants were female. Participants with a history of cosmetic procedures or a desire to undergo cosmetic procedures reported a similar pattern of daily phone use. There was no significant association between the reported history of cosmetic procedures and the daily duration of selected social media platform use. Conclusion We found no significant correlation between the hours spent on social media and the participants' history or desire for cosmetic procedures. Only 54 subjects compared themselves to social media celebrities. These findings could be attributed to the fact that the Makkah population is conservative in their religious attitudes and traditions, which makes them less susceptible to social media influences.

The Influence of Religious Affiliation and Attitudes of Clinical Genetic Testing Among Medical Students in the West Texas Region.

Genetic counseling is an essential and pertinent field in any society to lower the prevalence of hereditary disorders. However, the desire to undergo counseling and genetic testing varies widely depending on the cultural background and level of scientific literacy of the individual. In this survey, we examine the perspectives of medical students on clinical genetic testing based upon their religious tradition. The total number of participants in the study was 257 (122 male and 135 female) second year medical students at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC). The distribution of religious identification (Atheist, Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Spiritual/not Affiliated, and Other) among the second-year medical students. The survey was available to students through TTUHSC's Omnibus survey program for a period of two weeks. Most of the second-year medical students interviewed identified as being Christian (67%) with the next highest religious identification being Spiritual/not Affiliated (9%), Atheist (8%), and Muslim (6%). With regards to genetic tests, most of the students (95%), regardless of religious identification, have not used any commercial genetic testing services. Most second year medical students regardless of religious affiliation had similar agreement with questions regarding clinical genetic testing. However, there was a similar drop in agreement when it came on where students would want genetic screening to be performed regularly in clinics/hospitals. Given the numerous factors that must be considered, such as the patient's attitudes, knowledge, and beliefs towards the counseling process and genetic testing, genetic counseling is a challenging problem. Each target population's history, relevant exposure to, and domain expertise must be considered while promoting decision-making in genetic testing.

RELIGIOUS HUMANISM IN ISLAMIC EDUCATION

The model for creating a religious atmosphere is strongly influenced by certain situations and conditions and the application of the underlying values, namely: the structural model, the formal model, the mechanical model, and the organic model. First, the structural model, namely the creation of a religious atmosphere that is encouraged by the existence of regulations, impression building, and policies of an institution or organization and is more of a top-down nature. Second, the formal model, namely the creation of a religious atmosphere based on the understanding that religious education is a human effort to work only on the problems of the afterlife / spiritual life. Third, the mechanical model is the creation of a religious atmosphere based on the understanding that education is seen as the inculcation and development of a set of life values that work according to their function, which emphasizes moral and spiritual functions or the affective dimension rather than cognitive and psychomotor. Fourth, the organic model, namely the creation of a religious atmosphere that is encouraged by the view that religious education is a unit that develops religious views and enthusiasm for life which is manifested in religious attitudes and life skills.

RELIGIOUS VALUES IN FOLKLORE OF KANG CIDRA IN PANCASILA CHARACTER EDUCATION

This study aims to analyze the religious values contained in the Wahyu puppet show of Kang Cidra’s student play Nyi Lucia Siti Aminah Subanto which can be the basis for the development of pancasila character education. Religious values in Catholicism include various aspects related to faith deepening and spiritual strengthening. This play is interesting to study because it is a representation of the sacred event of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, so it contains teachings on religiosity that serve as a subject of faith for Catholics. The meaning of religious values is analyzed through dramatic structures and textures. The result of this study is that this play contains religious values, including: love, repentance, and loyalty. This value can be lived in everyday life as a development of character education for Catholics. The play Siswa Kang Cidra contains a meaning to invite Catholics to appreciate suffering through the story of the passion and death of Jesus Christ. On the other hand, this play also reveals a reflection of the inner religious attitude shown through Jesus’ disciples. God’s love and forgiveness is very clear in how God still accepts Peter even though he has denied it. This event changed Peter to repent and live by the teachings of Christ until the end of his life. Meanwhile, the act of betrayal by Judas was a reflection of the failure of the faith process. Repentance is the path to blessing because God always accepts repentant humans. The failure of the faith process is a sign that closeness to God is always faced with trials and obstacles. Misguidance due to trials and obstacles can occur if faith is weakened, and weakened faith allows people to make decisions that deviate from the teachings of Christ. For this reason, learning from the failure of the faith process is an effort to strengthen the belief that humans follow and proclaim the teachings of Jesus Christ. The religious values contained in the play include: loyalty, love, and repentance. These values can be lived out in everyday life as the development of Pancasila character education.

CONTESTATION OF THEOLOGICAL THOUGHT DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC (INDONESIAN CONTEXT)

The involvement in theological thought (kalam) during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia can be summarized into three groups. First, fatalism is the understanding of a society that believes that everything in this world is the totality of destiny and is the decree of Allah SWT. The second understanding is free will, believing in a person's freedom to choose between different plans and actions rather than waiting for fate to befall him. The third one is a central axis theology. Religious moderation can be understood as a view, attitude, or action that always takes the middle, fair, and non-extreme path in religion.
