The article analyzes the strategies and methods of propaganda used by the Triple Alliance ( Germany, Austria-Hungary, Italy ) and the Entente (Russia, England, France) during the conflict, in particular the appeal to mass media and the influence on the morale of military and civilian personnel. The authors also evaluate the effectiveness of these measures and contribute to the understanding of propaganda as a means of information warfare in the context of military strategies. The article highlights the need to improve the national security system. Various approaches to the definition of hybrid warfare are considered, focusing on the context of Ukraine and the peculiarities of the State Border Service. The article analyzes the essence of this concept and general principles related to the protection of national interests at the state border. Special attention is paid to the influence of information and psychological propaganda on military strategies during the First World War, especially on the morale, behavior of troops and the civilian population. The study showed that the success of information and psychological propaganda depends on its ability to adapt to conditions that change depending on the course and needs of the audience, as well as on the use of innovative methods and mass media. Our research encourages further study of propaganda as a tool of war and its impact on contemporary conflicts.

ОСНОВНЫЕ МЕРЫ ПРЕДУПРЕЖДЕНИЯ ЦИФРОВОЙ ПРЕСТУПНОСТИ

The article presents a general description of the main measures to prevent digital crime. According to the authors, digital (cyber) crimes should include all types of criminally punishable acts committed using modern digital technologies. And since digital technologies are widely used in everyday life, the risk of becoming a victim of a digital crime increases significantly. That is why, in the modern pe-riod of society's development, it is very important to pay attention to the prevention of digital crime. The authors emphasize that the prevention of digital crimes is based on the regulatory regulation of relations in the field of digital technologies. Relying on the current legislation, the subjects of preven-tion ensure the prevention of cybercrime. In the fight against digital crimes, the institute of infor-mation and analytical support is of great importance, which is not limited only to the use of mass me-dia and the Internet. Information and analytical support also involves the use of various information databases, various software aimed at timely receipt of operationally relevant information necessary for the successful prevention and suppression of digital crimes committed. The prevention of digital crime is impossible without carrying out various operational investigative measures carried out by employees of operational units. Engaged in the suppression and disclosure of cybercrime, employ-ees of these units implement the law enforcement function of the state. At the same time, the opera-tional units of the internal affairs bodies have at their disposal both public (open) and secret methods of conducting operational search activities. At the end of the study, the authors emphasize that the suppression and disclosure of digital crimes is multifaceted. Only an integrated, comprehensive approach to the prevention of digital crime can bring effective results and reduce the indicators of this type of crime.

REGULASI DAN SWA-REGULASI INDONESIA DALAM PENYELENGGARAAN MEDIA TERKAIT PERAN MNC GROUP TERHADAP PARTAI PERINDO

In political contestation, the perpetrators are plural in taking various ways so that their political goals can be practically achieved. One of them is the use of mass media as a mouthpiece in increasing self-electability and political vehicles. Media has a role as the fourth pillar of the state after the Executive, Legislative, and Judicial powers. Because of its vital role, the media and the people behind it are required to be able to convey honest and useful information to the wider community. The existence of media owners who are involved and involved in the world of practical politics makes a preliminary indication of the increasing interest of a particular group. Indonesia, which upholds the rule of law, has established regulations and self-regulation for cases like this. Meanwhile, in the regulation and self-regulation of the media, it has been stipulated that the media must be neutral and not take sides with any party and not benefit the interests of individuals or groups. The government has the right and obligation to take action against the products produced by the media if a violation is found. Because the channels used by the media, especially public frequencies, do not belong to the media, but must be used for the greatest prosperity of the people.

The Long-Term Impact of the Tips From Former Smokers® Campaign on Calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW, 2012-2023.

There is substantial evidence that mass media campaigns increase calls to quitlines and smoking cessation. In 2012, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the first federally funded national tobacco education campaign, Tips From Former Smokers® (i.e. Tips), which has since aired television advertisements annually. To date, no studies have examined the long-term effect of a national smoking cessation campaign on quitline calls. This study examined the long-term impact of Tips television ads on calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW from 2012 through 2023. Exposure to the Tips campaign was measured using weekly television gross rating points (GRPs) in each U.S. designated market area. We obtained data on calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW from the National Cancer Institute and used linear regression to model calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW, from 2012 through 2023, as a function of weekly media market-level GRPs for Tips television ads. Using the regression model results, we calculated predicted values of calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW across observed GRP values to determine the total additional calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW that were attributable to the Tips campaign during 2012-2023. Tips GRPs were positively and significantly associated with calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW across all years (b = 39.94, p < 0.001). Based on this association, we estimate the Tips campaign generated nearly 2.1 million additional calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW during 2012-2023. Exposure to the Tips campaign has consistently and significantly increased calls to tobacco quitlines. Quitlines provide evidence-based support to help people quit smoking. They have been shown to increase the likelihood of successfully quitting. Mass media campaigns have promoted quitline services, and quitline calls have increased significantly with media promotion. The long-term effect of campaigns - like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Tips From Former Smokers® (i.e. Tips) - on quitline calls has not been determined. From 2012 through 2023, exposure to the Tips campaign is estimated to have generated nearly 2.1 million additional calls to 1-800-QUIT-NOW. This study supports continued use of mass media to promote quitlines.

Analysis of the structure of the information field of perception of risk factors for non-communicable diseases

When studying the attitude of the population to saving their own health, the question of the connection between abstract knowledge about the harm caused to health by risk factors and a real understanding of the harm caused by these factors to their own health remains poorly understood.The purpose of this work is to analyze the structure of the information field of the population’s attitude to the impact of FR on health.Materials and methods. The material for the analysis was the results of a sociological survey in three pilot regions of the Russian Federation – Tula Region, Stavropol Territory and the Republic of Crimea. The questionnaire consisted of 33 questions concerning risk factors and their impact on the human body and a block of questions concerning sources of medical information and trust in them. The sample size was 1,718 respondents. The following methods were used: descriptive statistics and the sociological method of questioning. Statistical data processing and reweighing were carried out in the statistical data processing package SPSS22.0. In general, the sampling error in the study does not exceed 1.99% for a confidence level of p&lt;0.1.Results. The study showed that abstract knowledge about the harm of a particular FR in almost all FR is quite high, since it is precisely on them that the efforts of the medical community have been directed in recent decades. Moreover, the highest values are expected to have such factors as tobacco use, alcohol consumption, elevated blood sugar (glucose) and high blood pressure. The level of knowledge of the harm of FR, to which the medical community paid less attention, was expected to be lower. The lowest value is such a FR as a low iodine content in salt, which is consumed in food. An assessment of the relationship of variables such as abstract knowledge of harm about FR and understanding of their harm to one’s body using a two-way T-criterion showed that these variables are completely independent of each other at the significance level p&lt;0.001. This result made us look more closely at the factor structure of the studied field of reality and put forward the assumption of independence of knowledge about the harm caused to the human body by FR and behavioral patterns in relation to FR. As a result of factor analysis of 73 variables, 9 factors were identified: the first and most powerful factor (10.33%) – knowledge of the effect of FR on one’s own health; the second most powerful factor (8.71%) – knowledge of the harm of FR; the third highlighted factor (5.46%) – trust in information sources, which included both trust in the media and trust in TV presenters, popular personalities and trust in the leaders of the region and the city; the fourth highlighted factor (4.67%) is the gender characteristics of the control of the FR by the population; the fifth highlighted factor (4.59%) is the sources of information about the FR; the sixth highlighted factor (4.30%) – age–related features of FR control; the seventh highlighted factor (3.32%) – the use of gadgets to control FR and exercise; the eighth highlighted factor (3.00%) – trust in health workers as a source of information; the ninth highlighted factor (2.59%) – smoking and alcohol consumption.Conclusion. The assessment of the effect of FR on the respondents’ own health in the framework of the conducted study turned out to be significantly lower than abstract knowledge about the harmful effects of these FR. The analysis of the factor structure of the studied field confirmed the validity of such a division of knowledge based on ideas about its various forms – «knowledge in itself» and «knowledge for oneself». The analysis made it possible to formulate a number of conditions for improving the effectiveness of preventive work with the population, including to increase the impact of population prevention: it is necessary to more actively involve the most important sources for the population – medical workers, scientific medical workers and health managers; more fully take into account the gender and age characteristics of audiences in preventive measures; the use of mass media should be preceded by an analysis of the level of trust in them from the target audience; the information messages themselves must first be checked for memorability. Preventive measures should change the personal meanings of specific people in relation to FR and HLS, and not be limited to stating general knowledge about them. The study also allows us to determine the directions for further research of the population’s attitude to the FR and their own health as an interdisciplinary task with the necessary involvement of specialists in medical and general psychology, personality psychology and motivation psychology, as well as sociologists.

Can Social Learning Promote Farmers’ Green Breeding Behavior? Regulatory Effect Based on Environmental Regulation

Farmers’ green breeding behavior is significant to environmental protection and sustainable development. Based on the micro-survey data of 1248 beef cattle farmers in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and Jilin Province, the OLS model and regulatory effect tests are used to analyze the influence of social learning on farmers’ green breeding behavior and to verify the mechanism of environmental regulation. Key findings include the following: (1) Social learning has a significant positive impact on farmers’ green breeding behavior. (2) Social learning has a significant positive impact on farmers’ willingness to undertake green breeding, farmers’ specific behavior of green breeding, and farmers’ continuous green breeding, among which the effect on specific behavior of green breeding is the most positive. (3) Environmental regulation plays a moderating role in the relationship between social learning and farmers’ green breeding behavior, among which all sub-dimensions of environmental regulation (incentive-based environmental regulation, binding environmental regulation and guided environmental regulation) have positive reinforcing effects, especially the most significant reinforcement effect of binding environmental regulation. Based on the research conclusions, this study proposes policy suggestions such as strengthening the training of farmers, strengthening the learning and communication among farmers’ neighbors, increasing the frequency of farmers’ use of mass media, improving the environmental regulation policy system, and promoting the coordinated development of environmental, economic, and social benefits.

Assessing the predictive ability of information globalization under global value chains‐environmental sustainability nexus in the BRICS economies: A nonparametric causality approach

AbstractThe expansion of cross‐border information and production resources is facilitated by information globalization through the transfer of fresh ideas, products, technologies, and business models. This encourages information globalization's potential to achieve environmental and other technological advancements in the meantime and helps to make greener production possible through value‐added trade. Prior research, however, largely ignored this aspect of globalization in global value chains' studies. In order to anticipate carbon emissions (CO2) in BRICS economies, this novel study aims to assess the significance of participation in global value chains (GVCs) and information globalization (ING). The innovative research uses nonparametric causality‐in‐quantiles techniques on quarterly data from 1995Q1 to 2018Q4 to quantify for causality‐in‐variance and causality‐in‐mean because there might not be any causation at the first stage but there might be higher‐order interdependencies. The results show that GVC and ING had high predictive capability for carbon emissions, indicating asymmetry regarding environmental sustainability. Additionally, GVC and information globalization asserted that there is a significant interaction effect when it comes to forecasting pollution levels in chosen nations. The provision of financial and R&amp;D assistance for energy efficiency and green production, as well as the use of mass and social media to raise awareness among the firms participating in global value chains, may assist in achieving SDG 13 and Cope26's goal of reducing pollution by 2030. The finding contributes crucial insights for policymakers and enhances the discourse on sustainable hones inside GVCs. The study proposes prioritizing information transparency, worldwide measures, and motivations for eco‐friendly advances to improve environmental sustainability in GVCs. Policymakers are encouraged to foster public–private associations for cohesive global endeavors in diminishing CO2 emanations inside GVCs.

Unraveling the Interplay between Postnatal Mothers' Expertise in Neonatal Care amid the COVID-19 Pandemic and Media Consumption

Abstract Background The arrival of a newborn is a source of joy and optimism, whereas the loss of an infant is a profoundly tragic event for families worldwide. During the initial days of life, infants demand meticulous care, especially during the critical 1- to 28-day period when they are more vulnerable to infections, necessitating heightened protection and security. In the context of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, mothers and caregivers have become increasingly cautious regarding the care of newborns. This study aims to assess the knowledge level of postnatal mothers regarding neonatal care and their utilization of mass media during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Methods Conducted in a tertiary care setting, this study used a descriptive correlation design with 46 primiparous mothers chosen through purposive sampling. The evaluation of mothers' knowledge about newborn care utilized a self-reported questionnaire, whereas a checklist was used to gauge their use of mass media. Results The study revealed that 60.9% of mothers utilize mass media for more than 6 hours daily. Among the participants, 63% demonstrated adequate knowledge of newborn care, whereas 37% exhibited inadequate knowledge. Additionally, the study indicated a weak negative correlation between mass media usage and postnatal mothers' knowledge of newborn care (r = − 0.034). The type of family (p = 0.023) was significantly associated with postnatal mothers' knowledge (p &gt; 0.05). Conclusions The findings suggest a correlation between mass media usage and postnatal mothers' knowledge of newborn care. However, no discernible relationship was identified between mass media usage and mothers' awareness of neonatal care during the COVID-19 pandemic. This may indicate that the content disseminated through mass media during the pandemic did not sufficiently emphasize neonatal care, potentially resulting in a limited impact on mothers' awareness in this specific domain.

&lt;i&gt;Santa-Barbara&lt;/i&gt;: Semantic Transformations in the Russian Linguistic Culture

The article deals with the semantic transformationsSanta Barbara —the title of an American TV series — in the Russian speech. The study has been conducted on the texts dating back to 1992 (the beginning of the series’ broadcast on the Russian television) and up to the present day. Having carried out the contextual analysis of the use of the proper nameSanta Barbarain mass media, Internet communication, colloquial speech, and mass literature, we have determined certain figurative meanings, which have been consistently formed in the Russian linguistic culture for 30 years. At the same time, the name of the TV series has been expanding its semantic volume and application. The first meaning noted soon after the release of the series was positive:a high-rank neighborhood, comfortable for living. Nowadays, it has practically disappeared from speech, but it is preserved in the names of hotels, cafes, restaurants, and residential complexes in many Russian cities. The other figurative meanings that are still functionally active today are negative: 1) an endless melodramatic TV show; 2) complicated, intricate family/love relations; 3) scandals, conflicts, plots. The last meaning is no longer associated with the TV series and characterizes complex conflicts in a variety of communicative contexts. At present, Santa Barbara is used, in particular, as a political metaphor in popular Russian mass media. We also note the uniqueness of the listed figurative meanings for the Russian speech and their complete absence in the speech of Americans.

코로나19에 대한 낙관적 편견에 영향을 미치는 요인

The purpose of this study is to figure out the factors that affect optimistic bias of COVID-19 risk. This study investigated the effects of media use, interpersonal communication, and self-efficacy, risk characteristics and social trust on two dimensions of the optimistic bias, vulnerability and general risk. The finding showed that optimistic bias, in the dimension of vulnerability, was affected by mass media use(+), interpersonal communication(-), self-efficacy(+), and uncertainty(+), and optimistic bias, in the dimension of general risk, was influenced by mass media use(+) and fatality(-). Furthermore it indicated that social trust was not the significant factor of optimistic bias in both dimensions. This study suggested that mass media use, interpersonal communication and self-efficacy as well as risk characteristics were the major factors affecting optimistic bias of COVID-19 risk. Therefore, it expands a theoretical ground for how optimistic bias is created and provides a meaningful insight on how to reduce optimistic bias and to promote preventive behavior for the public healthcare practitioners.

Instagram Promotion in Facilitating Library Long-Distance Service Utilization

Trisakti University Library provides Long-Distance Services (LDS) that users can utilize during the pandemic. To increase the use of library services, the intensity of promotion through Instagram needs to be increased as well. This study aims to determine the effect of library promotion through Instagram on the utilization of LDS at Trisakti University Library. This type of research is associative research with a quantitative approach. The research sample was 93 respondents who are students and Instagram followers. They obtained from a total population of 1,323 @usakti_library followers by using the Slovin formula with an accidental sampling technique. Data analysis used a simple linear regression test to test the effect of Variable X and Y. The results showed that there was a significant effect between library promotion through Instagram (X) and Remote Service Utilization (Y), with a significance value of 0‚000 &lt; 0,05 (5%). This is also strengthened by a strong correlation level of 0‚694 on a scale of 0.60 – 0.799. The result of the R Square value is 0‚482. It proves that library promotion influences 48,2% of LDS. The results of this study confirm the uses and effects theory stating that the use of mass media and media content will cause certain effect. In this study, the effect is the increased utilization of LDS. It is hoped that this research can help the library in increasing promotional activities through Instagram and its attention in processing library services. This research is expected to help the library to increase promotional activities through Instagram and to improve service quality.

The Role of Mass Media in The Emergence of Deviant Behavior in Society

One of the primary studies in the sociology of communication is the influence of mass communication in society. Media is a communication transmitter or "channel" that includes newspapers, magazines, radio, television, movies, posters, and banners. The medium can be used and received by the communicator, but the medium can affect more than one communicator. This can affect many communicants regardless of the number of communicators; this means if a communicator uses any of the mentioned mediums, they can easily influence the behaviour of society as a whole. Behaviour change can have positive and negative impacts, which is why learning or understanding the role of mass media in communication is very important. There are many cases where the use of mass media can lead to deviant actions. Deviant actions that appear more often today will involve the mass media, meaning that the mass media has a significant influence. The impact of mass media can be seen in our daily lives, and mass media has become a basic need of human society as a whole. With mass media incorporated into everyday life, any information can be gathered. Such information can be the difference between a positive impact and a negative impact, it all depends on the user (communicator). This journal will focus on how mass media can trigger deviant societal actions and how to overcome them.

Media Komunikasi dalam Peran Dakwah

Da'wah patterns have changed over time. Written sermons have now become more important and effective than oral sermons. Especially for works that contain preaching messages and social media. The benefit of da'wah using this model is that as Rasulullah SAW once said, "Indeed, the ink of the ulama is better than the blood of the martyrs", does not mean that the content of the da'wah will disappear even though the preacher or writer has died. Analysis of the impact of media on the growth of Islamic Da'wah is the aim of this research. This research approach uses qualitative techniques derived from actual field data. It is proven that Allah SWT requires da'wah to other humans when He states in the QS. Saba':28, "And we did not send you but to all mankind as a bearer of good news and as a warning, but most people do not know." The study presented in the findings of this paper shows that the use of mass media as a channel for da'wah offers advantages. This shows the importance of media involvement in spreading religious beliefs among society.

Knowledge and risky behaviors of Kabul city butchers regarding Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever

Abstract Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne zoonotic disease with high morbidity and case fatality rates (CFR) in humans, especially among the high-risk groups, including butchers. Therefore, a cross-sectional study was conducted in Kabul City to determine the knowledge gaps and risky behaviors of Kabul City’s butchers about CCHF. Data were collected from 123 butchers by structured interview using a pre-designed questionnaire. The finding of the present study revealed that of the total CCHF cases in the butchers, their family members, and co-workers, 37.9% died. Nearly half of the butchers (45.0%) experienced splashing of animal blood on their faces, while 70.1% of them had cut their hands with a knife during their occupation life. In addition, 27.0% of the respondents held the knife in their mouth while dressing the animal carcasses, and 27.3% of the butchers consumed raw liver. Hand washing and PPE application were practiced by 94.3% and 22.8% of the respondents, respectively. About 92% of the respondents had heard about CCHF, and 67.4% of the participants had good knowledge about CCHF. The knowledge level of the respondents (poor or good) was statistically related to their age, history of blood splash in the face and eyes of the butchers, holding work knives in the mouth, blowing the skin of animals, hand washing with soap and water, and slaughter places ( p &lt; 0.05). A medium correlation between education and total knowledge of the butchers was observed (r = 0.3; p &lt; 0.05). It is necessary to change such high-risk behaviors by continually coordinating awareness campaigns through mass media, workshops, and informative leaflet distribution to improve knowledge. One Health impact statement CCHF is a multifaceted zoonotic disease where tick bites, direct contact with the tissue, secretions, and body fluids of the infected animals and humans, and consumption of raw milk, meat, and liver of infected animals are the main transmission methods of the disease to humans. Although livestock including cattle, sheep, goats, camels, and ostrich are the main reservoirs of the virus, they are infected in subclinical form, and humans are the only hosts where fatal clinical disease develops. Since the CCHF virus circulates in nature between tick-vertebrates-ticks, the only method that can effectively control and prevent the disease in humans is by using a targeted One Health approach between the human, veterinary, and environmental health sectors. Meanwhile, it has been proven that public awareness campaigns through the use of mass media, community leaders, and integrated workshops are the most effective tools to prevent the transmission of the CCHF virus from infected animals and ticks to humans.

Media Komunikasi dalam Peran Dakwah

The method of preaching has changed over time. Written sermons are now more important and effective than oral sermons, especially in works that contain preaching messages and social media. This is in line with the saying of the Prophet Muhammad, "Indeed, the ink of the scholars is better than the blood of the martyrs," which shows that the content of preaching will not be lost even if the preacher or writer has passed away. This study aims to analyze the impact of media on the growth of Islamic preaching. The research strategy uses a qualitative method based on field data. When Allah SWT says in the Qur'an, Saba':28, "And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a bringer of good tidings and a warner to all mankind, but most of the people do not know," it is clear that He obliges preaching to others. The results of the study in this paper show that the use of mass media as a channel for preaching offers benefits, demonstrating the importance of media involvement in spreading religious beliefs among the public.
