Research centers and universities are no longer the sole source of agricultural knowledge and innovations as most service providers generate and use the information. Although this is a reality, organizing interaction for the benefit of all parties, i.e., applying a pluralistic extension approach, has not had sufficient study to attract decision-makers attention in Egypt. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the impact of including multiple service providers in a virtual community of practice at the village level. This research was conducted on a virtual community of practice in the village of Mit Habib, Belbeis district, Sharkia Governorate, within the national campaign of wheat, 22/2023 season. Out of the 151 participants in the community, the sample represented 40 randomly selected respondents, including 35 farmers, 3 input suppliers, and 2 supply companies' agents/dealers. Data were collected using two telephone questionnaire forms applied during the month of May 2023. The main results showed that the diversity of service providers in virtual communities of practice is welcomed by all participants, and supports free sharing of knowledge, learning by observation, maintaining the timeliness of information needs, and respecting the opinions of others. Categories of service providers in the community of practice followed the categories of the crop supply chain. The extension worker alone (as a knowledge broker) is able to build one virtual communities of practice, or more, to assist him to achieve his daily tasks. Nevertheless, he needs to undergo training specifically related to coordination and management of communities of practice to manipulate cases of disagreement and/or conflict between the groups of participants.

Since the end of the Cold War, the concept of power has witnessed several changes in international relations. It is possible to distinguish between two levels of change in the concept of power: a level specific to the actor who possesses power, especially with non-state actors possessing some sources of power and influence, and a level specific to the components of power and the various forms that force takes. The state is no longer the only active entity in international relations, but several other international actors have emerged that play a vital role in the international arena. As social media has a strategic role in international political interactions, it can be considered one of the non-state actors that can influence the developments of regional and global events. This study clarifies social media's repercussions in light of political crises and wars. It attempts to understand the new developments in social media and then develop a future vision for the role of these media in light of crises and wars for the decision-makers. The study has been divided into two sections. The first is the conceptual and theoretical framework of the study, and it includes two questions: what social media are - their types and characteristics - and what political crises and wars are. The second section discusses crises and wars in light of the growing impact of social media, and it includes two questions: the role of social networks in crises and wars and the new information war - the role of social media in the conflict. The study concludes that social media has become one of the most influential factors in shaping the public opinion to pressure decision-makers and creating the operational environment, suggesting civil and military response measures. The study also indicates that terrorist entities use social media for recruitment, providing training tools and resources, raising money, advertising their operations, and shaping the public perception of the ongoing hostilities. In addition, social media is a fertile environment for the rapid spread and circulation of rumors. The study recommends the need to stop harmful disinformation campaigns on social media by establishing effective control and strict guidelines for data management, in addition to the need for citizens to improve their ability to withstand misinformation.

The study aims to analyze the public attitudes regarding media coverage of the Coronavirus crisis. It compares the roles of traditional media and social networks in that regard. It seeks to identify to what extent the traditional media and social networks have succeeded in providing the public with accurate, and reliable information related to the Coronavirus. It also seeks to analyze the public’s attitudes toward traditional media and social networks’ coverage of this crisis. A survey has been conducted with a sample of 286 locals and residents in the UAE. The study revealed that the traditional media and social networks have shown an interest in covering the information regarding the virus crisis.

The study also found that the public relied more on social media than the traditional media to obtain information about the Coronavirus. However, the inaccuracy and unreliability of social media information could lead to misguiding the public to the ways of dealing with the virus. The public's assessment of the professional performance of the traditional media was more positive than social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
