While cigarette use has been addressed as a global health problem, most smokers still find difficulties and barriers in accessing health facilities or finding a suitable method to quitting the habit. This paper will discuss the study exploring a self-help group on an online-based platform, namely Facebook, in Indonesia. This study adopted quasi-experimental, with pre and post-test using the control group as the previous ethical clearance. The respondents consisting of thirty-two smokers were recruited on non-probability sampling with the purposive sampling method. The data were collected by using a valid (r=0,666) and reliable (r=0,846) Richmond Test motivation questionnaire. Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyse them further. The study revealed low participation on the online platform with discussion based on a self-help group. There was no significant motivation improvement among the experimental group after the intervention, as well as no significant difference in motivation improvement between the control and the experimental group upon pursuing the program (p>0,05, t=0,058). In terms of low involvement, an online platform was less effective in improving quit-smoking motivation among smokers. Further research is needed to develop more interactive and longer interventions to facilitate cost-effective smoking cessation through social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wildlife trading that involves insects as commodity has shifted into using online trading system to engage sellers with their potential buyers. Facebook, aside from being social media platform for daily activity, has been used as the trading medium for various wildlife species. In this paper, we report the preliminary monitoring on the trading of two popular Coleoptera families, horned beetles (Scarabaeidae) and stag beetles (Lucanidae) using Facebook as medium. The study used internet survey by specifically look for groups, pages and personal accounts in Facebook that actively involve with the two beetle families. There are six Facebook groups that dedicate their activities mainly on horned beetles and stag beetles, with two of them housing more than thousands of members and regular posts or adverts. Three are only three Facebook pages found with two of them currently have hundreds to thousands of followers. Meanwhile, there were 90 personal accounts named as 'kumbang tanduk' or Indonesian name for the beetles of interest with possible 20 accounts that involve with either or both horned beetles and stag beetles. This study provides proof on the extensive use of internet for wildlife trading, which previously thought only dominated by the trading of high-profile taxa like mammals, birds or reptiles. If combined with surveying other social media platforms, this online monitoring can be a reliable way to quantify the trading volume for the beetles and other insect species that essential to establish their conservation status.

The wildlife trading is the main driving factor that endangers the existence of wild species, in addition to potentially spread diseases and extend invasive species distribution. The nowadays perpetrators of wildlife trading take advantage of the advancement of communication technology, using online social media platforms as transaction media. In this paper, we report a monitoring on online insect trading activity commenced in a Facebook group between March to April 2022. Trading volume, traded insect taxa, role of trading perpetrators and locality of traded insects are among aspects monitored in this study. We recorded 236 posts during monitoring period with average 3.87±2.31 posts daily. These number was posted by 180 account holders that further defined as curious one-timer (126 accounts), occasional provider (33 accounts) and serious breeder/hunter/seller (21 accounts). There were more than 20 insect families offered during this period, with the members of Scarabaeidae (118 posts, 50.0%), Lucanidae (44 posts, 18.6%), Cerambycidae (17 posts, 7.2%) and Buprestidae (15 posts, 6.4%) became the most significant ones. Xylotrupes gideon (Lucanidae), Chalcosoma spp (Scarabaeidae) and Castiarina spp (Buprestidae) seemed to be adverted the most. West Java Province contributed the most in this group with 60 posts advertised 11 insect families, more than twice over what recorded from East Java (29 posts;>5 families), Central Java (21 posts;>8 families), Jambi (11 posts;>4 families) and Jakarta (10 posts; 4 families). This paper, despite covers only two months of online insect trading and on one single Facebook group, indicates a potential threat for the existence of Indonesian insects. Therefore, further systematic online survey is needed to assess the actual volume of online insect trading. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Today's internet world, detecting Fake News is facing a difficult task. Data integrity has been of maximum importance in the current news era due to the extensive range of free text. Therefore, generating and developing fraudulent information is more painless than ever. The spreading of such fake news influences society from diverse inappropriate views. Online Social Networks has become increasingly popular to obtain news and information on the internet due to their widespread uses. However, false information has been spread widely due to the internet's rapid growth. As a result, detecting fabricated information is critical in our present culture. As a resolution, in this paper, a Deep learning approach is suggested to confirm the trustworthiness of news. It is also proposed as a Multimodal faked information detection method that utilizes both the textual and graphical content of the data to determine its authenticity. The first step is to pretrain the BERT model to achieve the textual feature representation vector. As a second step, pretraining the VGG-19 model generates a visual characteristic representation vector. Two MCBP (Multimodal Compact Bilinear Pooling) modules have been created based on the proposed methodology. Graphic feature representation vectors with alerts are obtained using the first MCBP module. MCBP's second module combines the visual feature with the attention process and the vector of textual elements. With a second MCBP module, the attention process and a textual feature vector are utilized to input visual quality. You may be able to exploit the linked vector to your advantage in detecting fake information. In this article, a comparison is performed between the proposed method and two standard methods. EANN and Spot Fake approaches have been compared in this work, and it has been found that the proposed strategy in this article outperforms both in terms of accuracy, precision, and recall.

The detection of the community structure in the networks has been the important issue in many domains and disciplines. Especially, in the context of social network, community structure drew attention after the increasing popularity of social media services like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, etc. Accordingly, the need to discover these communities that share many features has appeared, and this problem was commonly called community detection problem. To address these issues within the communities, this paper proposes to use similarity between nodes attributes as a weight in the doubly-weighted ℓ1-norm k-medoids procedure, adopted in the convexified modularity maximization (CMM) approach for degree-corrected stochastic block models. The new weight, common neighbors between nodes, is motivated by the idea of "the friend of my friend is likely to be my friend," which is frequently utilized in discussions concerning social networking. Numerically, CMM, with this new weight, is applied to different networks; but it works particularly well in social networks due to its special structure. Experimental results show that the CMM approach improves by increasing the modularity measure, leading to better partitioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Online social media platforms such as YouTube have grown in popularity in recent years, providing as critical routes for content creators, advertisers, and platform administrators to access a large worldwide audience. Accurate video popularity prediction is critical for improving content strategy, increasing user engagement, and increasing video visibility. This study intends to improve video popularity prediction accuracy by presenting a fresh methodology that goes beyond traditional analysis. To construct a more effective prediction model, the suggested method combines examining metadata, such as title, description, and channel title, with thumbnail analysis. The project aims to dramatically increase prediction accuracy by extracting relevant information from both metadata and thumbnails. To do this, multiple classification techniques, including Support Vector Machine, Gradient Boosting, Random Forest, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and K-Nearest Neighbors, were used to train and forecast the model. Notably, when it came to feature extraction, the Gradient Boosting and Random Forest algorithms achieved amazing accuracy of 97% when using all extracted and original data, and 82% and 92% when using only extracted features. In comparison, previous studies employing simply extracted features obtained only 74% accuracy. These findings demonstrate the potential benefit of integrating metadata and thumbnail data research to get insights into the elements that drive video popularity and lead to more accurate predictions.

The goal of this research is to catalogue all of the undesirable materials available on rival and popular social media platforms. Tools and methods: The dataset for training and testing the proposed prediction models was constructed using the messages from a number of popular social media messaging platforms, with a minimum of 5 attributes and 150 messages. Random Forest, a machine learning algorithm, was used to design the framework, and it was compared favourably to the Support Vector Machine algorithm. Discussion and Remarks: Accuracy in retrieval is 90.30 percent for the Random forest algorithm and 94.36 percent for the Support vector machine learning algorithm (countvectorizer). The significance level between the two algorithms is high at p=0.02 (p0.05). This study confirms that the SVM (countvectorizer) Machine Learning algorithm has a higher accuracy rate than the Random Forest algorithm and creates a novel framework to identify spam words.

The ubiquity and simplicity of the use of SNS have changed the creation and dissemination of knowledge in today's society. Easy access to information through SNS, on the other hand, does not guarantee a greater degree of public awareness. Unlike conventional media outlets, social media platforms enable the propagation of disinformation and misinformation at a quicker and wider rate, notably that media users may choose to distribute information without regard for its veracity. In the context of fake news, this study adds to our knowledge about information verification practices among SNS users. We build a news verification behavior study model and test seven hypotheses using a survey of active 211 SNS users, all foreign students residing in South Korea. This paper concluded that information verification behaviors among SNS foreign users are influenced by views of news sharers' networks (social connection variety, and trust), perceptions of news creators (fake news awareness and perceived media trustworthiness), and inherent intents to share. These findings have implications for possible strategies in countering disinformation in social media. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Covid-19 pandemic has changed people's lifestyle. Many services are facing a drastic change and have shifted to using services online. This is also apparent in the medium of communication among the society. People are more likely to communicate through the media, especially social media than face-to-face communication today. In line with this, Facebook has become one of the notification channels to convey information and advice to the public either using explicit or implicit techniques. Hence, this paperwork is produced to analyse the use of implicature in Facebook postings by the Health Education Unit, District Health Office Kota Setar during the implementation of Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO). The study of this text analysis uses the implicature framework and is adapted to the context of Malay society [1-2]. The findings showed that the authors of this social site used convoluted methods in conveying information and advice to readers using a relaxed language style so as not to provoke the community, thus the advice was acceptable to the readers of the postings.

The four language skills, listening, speaking, reading and writing, are the most vital part to be mastered by ESL or EFL learners. However, speaking is to be said the most anxiety-provoking for the learners. Past studies on the use of Instagram agreed on using this platform as a potential platform to help students learn the English language. This study reviews the literature on using the Instagram application to support second language learners to learn English. As social media applications have become popular platforms of interactions among users, optimising these applications, such as Instagram, into pedagogy is a great way to assist learners in mastering the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing. Although relatively new, Instagram has gained billions of users worldwide. It appeals to younger generations, making it a platform with high potential to be integrated into the teaching of English as a second language in Malaysia. This review determines to investigate whether the integration of Instagram during English language classrooms is effective in helping students to lower their anxiety and perform better using the language. Past researches mainly focused on the primary and tertiary levels, and none has yet been done in secondary schools in Malaysia, thus creating a gap to be filled. A mixed-method study will later be conducted in a secondary school involving two Form 4 classes consisting of pupils whose language proficiency is intermediate. The experimental group will be exposed to weekly Instagram sessions over a time frame. In contrast, the control group will be taught with the traditional approach. At the end of the sessions, data will be collected via pre-test, post-tests, interviews, and questionnaires on students' anxiety level, which will be analysed descriptively. The study's findings are hoped to match the reviews' suggestions that Instagram positively impacts learning the English language among learners of all age groups. The study aims to provide insights for integrating social media applications in the English language classroom curriculum for secondary schools so that learners of all ages will benefit from it.

The number of women working as engineers in the mechanical and plant engineering sector in Germany has risen to eleven percent in 2023 - remaining at humble levels. In higher positions, the share is even lower. While around 20 % of engineering students at German universities are female, these women do not seem to be entering the sector or they are leaving it again. The question arises as to what companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector can do to attract female engineers after graduation. This study was conducted in cooperation with the German Engineering Association. The aim was to qualitatively explore the reasons why women enter, stay or leave the engineering sector and to include the industry's perspective to obtain a holistic view of the situation. Therefore, on the one hand the perspective of female engineers was investigated and, on the other hand, combined with the perspective of companies. We provide insights from focus groups and interviews with 49 female engineers across all career levels, from an analysis of 90 online company websites and social media pages as well as from three on-site visits at exemplary companies. The findings point to unresolved issues in recruitment and beyond: highlighting role models of successful women in engineering, the need for companies to actively attract and support women in engineering, e. g. through recruiting strategies focusing on women, insights into the working culture, and transparency regarding career options. Overall, the study suggests that companies should embed gender diversity and group specific recruitment as important issues in their organizations. Consequently, the study provides recommendations for action for companies seeking to become a more inclusive and diverse industry. Limitations are discussed and further implications are presented.
