CYBER MEDIA ANALYSIS IN DA'WAH THROUGH MOBILE LEGEND LIVE STREAMING ON YOUTUBE

Da'wah, or Islamic preaching, has expanded into cyber media. This article aims to analyze the use of cyber media for da'wah, focusing on media space, media documentation, and media objects, as exemplified by Ustaz Abi Azkakia's live streaming of Mobile Legends on YouTube. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, the research incorporates literature studies, video documentation, and analysis of media features. The data findings reveal three key aspects: First, the optimization of YouTube as a media space by Ustaz Abi Azkakia for live streaming and uploading da'wah content, including features such as video uploads, shorts, and live streaming. Second, in terms of media documentation, Abi Azkakia effectively engages players by integrating worship and moral values into content, using visually appealing thumbnails, promoting polite behavior, facilitating live chat discussions, and advocating sincere, non-commercial donations. This approach includes personal narratives, stories of the Prophet and his companions, and references to the Al-Qur'an and Hadith. Third, regarding media objects, this article observes an interactivity trend with a modest increase in likes and comments, while the duration of content shows a fluctuating trend, and overall broadcast frequency tends to decrease.

Evaluation of the Quality and Reliability of YouTube Videos on Polymyalgia Rheumatica

To investigate polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR)-related YouTube videos’ quality and reliability. We searched the term “polymyalgia rheumatica” on https://www.youtube.com. The most viewed 60 YouTube videos about PMR were analyzed by two independent physiatrists. Study data used in the analysis included upload date, total views, number of likes and comments, length of video, contents of video, source of the uploader, and targeted population. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) and the Modified DISCERN tool were used to assess PMR-related video quality and reliability, respectively. Comparative analyses of video features, quality, and reliability were performed based on source of uploaders (professional and non-professional) and GQS score subgroups. Of the videos analyzed, 76.7% and 61.7% of the uploaded videos were related to symptoms and treatment, respectively, and 65% of the videos were uploaded by healthcare professionals. The median GQS and modified DISCERN tool scores were 3 in professionals and 2 in non-professionals (p< 0.001 and p = 0.001, respectively). According to the GQS score, there was no significant difference in terms of total views, number of likes, number of comments, and view ratio values between low, moderate, and high quality videos. 35% of the YouTube videos concerning PMR were uploaded by non-professionals with poor reliability and quality. Therefore, healthcare professionals need to produce videos that provide more accurate and high quality information about PMR on this platform. Before being published, YouTube videos should be evaluated objectively for the accurity of their content.

Quality and Reliability Analysis of YouTube as a Source of Patient Information on de Quervain's Tenosynovitis

Abstract Purpose This study seeks to evaluate the quality and reliability of information regarding de Quervain's tenosynovitis on YouTube. Methods A search on the YouTube was performed using the keywords de Quervain's tenosynovitis, and the first 50 videos were evaluated. Video characteristics including views, content type, and video upload source were recorded. Video reliability was assessed using the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria. Video quality was assessed using the Global Quality Score (GQS) and a novel de Quervain's Tenosynovitis-Specific Score (DQT-SS). Results The total number of views for all videos evaluated was 5,508,498 (mean, 110,169.96 ± 155,667.07). Video reliability and quality metrics were low, with a mean JAMA score of 2.17 ± 0.82 out of 4, a mean GQS of 2.49 ± 1.28 out of 5, and a mean DQT-SS of 4.53 ± 2.35 out of 11. Significant between-group effects were found for the video source and DQT-SS (p = 0.027), as well as between content type and JAMA score (p = 0.027), GQS (p = 0.003), and DQT-SS (p = 0.003). Positive independent predictors of DQT-SS included video duration in seconds (β = 0.391) and disease-specific information content type (β = 0.648). Conclusion Videos on YouTube regarding de Quervain's tenosynovitis were frequently viewed; however, the information present was of low quality and reliability. Physician-uploaded videos had the highest mean JAMA scores, GQS, and DQT-SS, but had the second-lowest mean number of views of video sources. Patients should receive proper in-office education and be directed toward reputable resources for their orthopaedic conditions.

The analysis highlights a limited utilization of interactive features, leading to a low engagement rate, a crucial metric for evaluating online presence. Notably, the study identifies the sparse interaction with other accounts and the predominant use of branded hashtags contributing to the account's engagement challenges. The study underscores the importance of fostering a user-centric approach in Instagram content management. Encouraging active participation from followers in content creation and caption ideation can stimulate increased interaction and bolster community bonds. The research contributes significantly to enhance engagement, nurture a vibrant online community, and contribute significantly to sustainable tourism practices by adopting a more inclusive and participatory strategy.

Three-Dimensional Multi-UAV Trajectory Design for Cooperative Video Inspection and Uploading

This paper studies the multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) trajectory design for post-disaster cooperative video inspection and information uploading. The locations to be inspected are modeled as points of interest (PoIs) with heterogeneous resolution requirements. The three-dimensional (3D) trajectories for multiple cooperative UAVs are designed to minimize the time for successfully inspecting all the PoIs and maximize the communication time for the video uploading. An UAV inspection model is built to clarify the criteria for successful inspection, which is related to the UAV's 3D positions and velocity. The proposed UAV trajectory design involves two steps. First, the PoIs in proximity are grouped using convex optimization. Then, the multiple UAV trajectories are jointly designed by solving a multiple traveling salesman problem (MTSP). Numerical results show that the proposed design can significantly reduce the mission completion time.

Evaluating the Quality of Ankle Fracture Education on Short-Form Video Platform YouTube Shorts

Category: Ankle; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Social media has had a significant impact on medical education. YouTube has been an established platform and has recently expanded into short form videos (YTS) that receives over 50 billion views per day, approximately 625% of the World population. Prior investigations have shown that the quality of education on the YouTube platform is unregulated, lacking in quality measures and content delivery. To date YTS has not been investigated in the field of orthopedic surgery. Our study analyzes the quality of ankle fracture education on YTS and the distribution of the topic’s video creators. Methods: For this analysis, we acquired the top 75 videos on YTS with the search query "#anklefracture + shorts." Duplicate shorts, shorts containing irrelevant material, and shorts without measurable content were excluded. Videos that met the inclusion criteria were then scored using previously verified scoring systems: GQS Score, PEMAT Understandability %, PEMAT Actionability %, and JAMA Score. The following continuous variables were acquired: Views, Date Posted, Likes, Comments, Followers, Video Engagement Rate (VER). Categorical variables were acquired: Advertisement Status, Verified Account, Creator Type. The authorship of each channel was identified based on American Board of Orthopedic Surgery (ABOS) certification. We compared two groups, American Board-certified channels vs channels of any other education level. All variables were analyzed utilizing a one-way ANOVA for significance. Results: Of the top 75 videos, 21 meet our inclusion criteria. Only 3 authors, 27.2%, had ABOS certification. Of the 6 verified YT channels none were orthopedic surgeons. 9 videos were created by ABOS certified channels and 12 by other channels. The video upload date ranged from February-2021 to January-2023. The average scores for ABOS authors were likes 666, 11.4 comments, 359666 followers, 0.448% engagement rate, GQS score 3.67, JAMAScore 3, PEMATUnderstandability 91.9%, and PEMATActionability 14.8%. Average scores for authors of any other education level: 403 likes, 11.3 comments, 140856 followers, 3.61% engagement rate, GQS score 3.83, JAMAScore 3.08, PEMATUnderstandability 94.5%, PEMATActionability 50%. Followers and Actionability were the only significant variables (p < 0.05); ABOS channels had more followers while other channels had higher actionability. Conclusion: Directing the online message in orthopedic patient care and education is important. This study emphasizes that orthopedic surgeons are skilled at capturing followers but fall short when compared to other channels in calling their viewers to action. It also shows how Orthopedic surgeons are equivalent when it comes to educating viewers in an understandable and verified manner. In order to lead ankle fracture education on YTS and other social media platforms, orthopedic surgeons need to utilize the popularity of their following to deliver actionable educational content and improve in categories that non-orthopedic surgeons dominate on YouTube Shorts.

Evaluation of the usefulness and quality of YouTube™ videos about children's electric toothbrushes.

The effectiveness of mechanical tooth cleaning, which plays a crucial role in biofilm control, depends on the type of brush and technique. Parents can refer to websites such as YouTube™ for guidance on the selection and use of electric toothbrushes. The objective of this study was to examine the usefulness, quality and accuracy of the information on YouTube™ videos about electric toothbrushes for children. A search was performed on YouTube™ for English language videos using the terms 'electric toothbrush for kids' and 'kids' electric toothbrush'. From the first 100 results, 64 videos were selected for further analysis. The videos were analysed for views, likes/dislikes, number of comments, upload source, duration and time since video upload. The usefulness and the quality of the selected videos were also measured. The majority of the videos mentioned toothbrush design (71.9%, n = 46) and toothbrush heads (62.5%, n = 40). The videos were generally determined to be moderately useful (46.9%), whereas very useful videos were found less frequently (12.5%). Slightly useful videos were mostly uploaded by laypeople. Very useful videos had significantly higher video durations than moderately and slightly useful videos (p = 0.029 and p = 0.002, respectively). YouTube™ can be an important source of information for parents to learn about electric toothbrushes for their children. However, watching videos based on upload source and length of time may provide more accurate information on this topic. Also, dental healthcare professionals could be included more often to improve the usefulness and quality of the videos.

Rhinoplasty and YouTube: A Cross-Sectional Study to Assess the Quality, Dependability, and Reliability of Videos on Rhinoplasty.

Rhinoplasty, also referred to as a nose job or a reconstruction of the nose, is a surgical procedure that alters and reconstructs the nose for aesthetic or functional purposes. With the emergence of social media and modern internet accessibility, YouTube has gained popularity among users of all ages. Despite this, the accuracy and credibility of these videos and the information they include could be cause for concern. This study intends to assess the competence, quality, and dependability of the information in the videos related to "Rhinoplasty surgery" on YouTube. This is a cross-sectional observational study that analyzes rhinoplasty information on YouTube. A Google Forms questionnaire was used to collect the data. The Global Quality Score (GQS), reliability score, and Video Power Index (VPI) were used to assess quality and reliability, and statistical analysis was performed using IBM Corp. Released 2012. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 21.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. The inclusion criteria were videos ranging from 1 minute to 20 minutes in duration, pertinent to the topic of rhinoplasty surgery, and in either English or Hindi. A total of 71 videos were analyzed, and 70 videos were included. A comparison of GQS, reliability score, and VPI based on the type of uploader was done by the Kruskal-Wallis test. The association between VPI, GQS, and reliability score with that of the uploader of the video was found to be statistically insignificant (p<0.05). Videos uploaded by healthcare organizations, news outlets, patients, or other relevant groups have the most GQS (4.5), whereas videos uploaded by hospitals have the lowest. Compared to the type of uploader, videos have no statistically significant changes in quality, reliability, or video power, implying that the type of uploader does not necessarily impact the overall quality or reliability of the information presented in the investigated YouTube videos. While the majority of the videos addressed the indications of rhinoplasty and provided information about the etiology, there were gaps in discussing pre-procedural investigations and preventive measures. Due to our limitations, expanding the number of accounts used for search and increasing the number of videos might overcome the search algorithm.

Quality and reliability of YouTube videos as a source of information on pulmonary rehabilitation

Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of the most watched YouTube videos in pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) and to determine the criteria that may be important in the selection of high quality and reliable videos by patients and their relatives. Methods: We searched for the keywords “pulmonary exercise,” “pulmonary rehabilitation,” and “pulmonary physiotherapy” on December 12th, 2021. Modified DISCERN (mDISCERN) and Global Quality Score (GQS) were used to assess the quality and reliability of the videos. Results: Of the 150 videos screened and 76 (50.7%) videos were identified for inclusion. The median mDISCERN score was 2, indicating that most of the videos were of low quality. A statistically significant relationship was found between video reliability classification in terms of video duration, time since upload, number of subscribers, and number of likes (p &amp;lt; 0.05). In addition, in terms of video upload source, it was determined that most of the high reliability videos were uploaded by healthcare professionals and most of the low reliability videos were uploaded by independent users (p &amp;lt; 0.05). When the videos were compared according to the quality groups subcategory, significant differences were detected in video duration, number of subscribers, average number of views per day, upload sources and mDISCERN scores (p &amp;lt; 0.05). Conclusions: According to the current study results, most of the PR-related videos on YouTube were found to be of poor quality and low reliability. Sharing more videos on social platforms by healthcare professionals in the future may be effective in increasing video quality and reliability.

YouTube as a Patient Information Source for Tendon Repair Surgery.

Background For tendon rupture, a disabling musculoskeletal injury, surgical management is considered the gold standard. The goal is to reduce complications and enable the patient to regain full mobility and strength. With the rise of modern internet accessibility and social media, YouTube has become a frequently used platform for all ages; however, the accuracy and reliability of the videos and the information therein may be a point of concern. Methodology This cross-sectional, observational study was designed to analyze tendon repair surgery information available on YouTube. Data were collected using a Google Forms questionnaire which included questions analyzing the videos and their content and the professional status of the uploaders. Quality and reliability scores were assessed through the Global Quality Score (GQS), reliability score, and Video Power Index (VPI). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA). We included videos one minute to twenty minutes in length that were relevant to the topic of tendon repair surgery and in the English language. Results A total of 82 videos were evaluated, of which 67 videos were chosen. A comparison of GQS, reliability score, and VPI based on the type of uploader was done using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The association between GQS and reliability score with that of the video uploader was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.05). Videos uploaded by hospitals had the highest GQS (4) and reliability score (4). Conclusions On comparing the uploader type, videos uploaded by hospitals had good quality and were useful for patients. The quality and reliability of the videos were almost above average. Only half discussed the signs and symptoms and even fewer discussed pre- and post-procedural care. The most important aspect, i.e., prevention, was mentioned in none of the videos. Due to our limitations, expanding the number of accounts used for search and increasing the number of videos might overcome the search algorithm.

This study aims to find out how to use e-learning and the obstacles faced by lecturers and students when using e-learning in the learning process in the third semester of the Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Teacher Education (PGMI) Study Program. This study used a qualitative descriptive research method. The data collection tool was a questionnaire with interviews and observation. Data analysis techniques use Miles and Humberman's theory, namely, data reduction, data display, and drawing conclusions. The results showed the use of e-learning in the learning process in third semester of the PGMI study program was very effective. The data showed that almost all courses use e-learning, only two lecturers with the same subject, namely scouts, who do not use e-learning. The data also showed that 71.8% or 135 students said that e-learning was very effective in learning. The constraints faced by lecturers regarding the use of e-learning were that not all of the features in e-learning exist, for example, lecturer attendance was not yet available, so lecturers have to prepare manually outside of the e-learning application, and virtual face-to-face features of e-learning that were tough to accessed, while the students were more on the capacity limit of uploaded videos.

AUDIO SUMMARIZATION IN REAL TIME FOR PODCAST, SPEECHES AND AUDIOBOOKS

The majority of public works are carried out online as a result of the coronavirus disease (COVID19) pandemic. Many job interviews, primary health care consultations, and company meetings are conducted entirely online, and universities all over the world have switched to online teaching. Applications for online meetings like Microsoft Team and Google Meet are widely available on the market. We approach a topic with numerous practical applications in this work. A method that takes recorded video as input and produces identical written or audio summaries as output is the subject of this paper. Additionally, the proposed method can be used to create meeting minutes, subtitle or scribe entertainment videos, and create lecture notes from lecture videos. The audio track of a video is converted into text by the proposed system. We also used a text summarization algorithm to create text summaries. Users of the system have the option of using a text summary or making an audio output that matches the text summary. The proposed strategy is carried out in Python and the proposed conspire is assessed utilizing brief recordings got from YouTube. The proposed method is manually validated on a set of uploaded videos because there are neither specific datasets or benchmarks available to evaluate efficacy nor any benchmarks to use in related studies.

ViSTORY: Effective Video Storyboard Generation with Visual Keyframes using Discrete Cosine Transform

Nowadays, multimedia content utility is increasing rapidly. Multimedia search engines like Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., are available just a click away to all users. There are around 500-600 hours of video uploads per unit of time to the Internet. So, among other types of multimedia content, such as text and images, video is the most complicated content for indexing, browsing, and retrieval. Videos give more scope for implementation because of their complex and unstructured nature. This paper proposes a new method of video storyboard generation with keyframe extraction in spatial and frequency domains using Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) for video summarization. It discusses the empirical appraisal of video visual keyframes with t-test analysis in comparison with spatial and frequency domains, resulting in a quick response to customer demands by providing static storyboards. This study proposes a new performance measure as matching frames by analyzing input videos and the standard benchmarks video dataset, i.e., Open Video Project (OVP) and SumMe. Among all the keyframe extraction techniques, DCT gives higher accuracy and a better matching rate.

Status quo of the public’s knowledge of probiotics based on video-sharing platforms

BackgroundProbiotics have been deemed multipotent and unprecedentedly applied in the health field recently. However, there are challenges in promoting credible and reliable resources while avoiding misinformation regarding probiotics for the public.MethodsThis study analysed 400 eligible probiotic-related videos selected from YouTube, and the three most popular video-sharing platforms (Bilibili, Weibo and TikTok) in China. Video retrieval was performed on September 5th, 2022. GQS and tailored DISCERN tool assess each video’s quality, usage, and reliability. A comparative analysis of videos from different sources was carried out.ResultsThe identity distribution of probiotic video-producers was predominantly experts (n = 202, 50.50%), followed by amateurs (n = 161, 40.25%) and health-related institutions (n = 37, 9.25%). The videos’ content category mainly discussed the function of probiotics (n = 120, 30%), the way to choose suitable products (n = 81, 20.25%), and the methods for taking probiotics (n = 71, 17.75%).The overall quality of videos was moderate (3/5 point) assessed by GQS, while the usage (1/6 point) and reliability (2/5 point) detailing probiotics assessed by tailored DISCERN tool were poor. The attitude of probiotic video-producers was primarily positive (n = 323, 80.75%), followed by neutral (n = 52, 13.00%) and negative (n = 25, 6.25%) (P < 0.001).ConclusionsThe current study showed that videos on social media platforms publicise important information including the concepts, usage, and precautions of probiotics to the public. But the overall quality of uploaded videos about probiotics was unsatisfactory. More efforts are needed to improve the higher-quality content of probiotic-related online videos and better propagate probiotic knowledge to the public in the future.

YouTube as a source of information on Helicobacter pylori: Content and quality analysis.

Helicobacter pylori infection is the most common cause of infectious diseases worldwide, and management is a current and vital problem for physicians and patients. One of the online platforms that people use most to access health information is YouTube. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the quality and reliability of H. pylori information videos on YouTube. The "Helicobacter pylori" keyword was searched with default filters on YouTube. Two hundred videos were evaluated. The source of videos was categorized as academic institutions, professional organizations, physicians, healthcare professionals other than physicians, health information websites, and independent users. The target audience of the videos was classified as patients and healthcare professionals. The Global Quality Scale (GQS), JAMA, and modified DISCERN video scores were obtained by taking the average of the scores given by the two authors. Seventy-four videos were analyzed, and the median duration was 9.25 (range: 1.14-121)min. The target audience of 43 (58.1%) videos was healthcare professionals, and 31 (41.9%) videos were for patients. There was no correlation between likes, dislikes, views, and the quality-usefulness of the videos. Video characteristics such as duration, likes, number of views, and time since video upload day were not associated with the source. The JAMA and DISCERN scores were significantly higher in academic institutions than in other sources. Health information websites had a significantly higher GQS score than other video sources (p=.01). In comparison, there was no significant difference between the target audience (patients and healthcare professionals) in terms of JAMA, modified DISCERN, and GQS scores. YouTube has numerous videos for healthcare information nowadays. Although the quality and reliability of YouTube videos on H. pylori are average according to common scoring systems, we recommend videos produced by academic institutions and health information websites to inform patients.
