Objectives: This study sought to determine if children's auditory environments are accurately captured by the automatic scene classification embedded in cochlear implant (CI) processors and to quantify the amount of electronic device use in these environments. Methods: Seven children with CIs, 36.71 (SD = 11.94) months old, participated in this study. Three of the children were male and four were female. Eleven datalogs, containing outcomes from Cochlear's™ Nucleus® 6 (Cochlear Corporation, Australia) CI scene classification algorithm, and seven day-long audio recordings collected with a Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA; LENA Research Foundation, USA) recorder were obtained for analysis. Results: Results from the scene classification algorithm were strongly correlated with categories determined through human coding (ICC =.86, CI = [−0.2, 1], F(5,5.1) = 5.9, P = 0.04) but some differences emerged. Scene classification identified more 'Quiet' (t(8.2) = 4.1, P = 0.003) than human coders, while humans identified more 'Speech' (t(10.6) = −2.4, P = 0.04). On average, 8% (SD = 5.8) of the children's day was spent in electronic sound, which was primarily produced by mobile devices (39.7%). Discussion: While CI scene classification software reflects children's natural auditory environments, it is important to consider how different scenes are defined when interpreting results. An electronic sounds category should be considered given how often children are exposed to such sounds. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The “maturity gap” between generations is an objective fact that can only be narrowed through education. The asymmetry between generations is the anthropological base for education, and thus school education originated when this asymmetry enlarged. The print media protects this asymmetry, whereas the electronic media decrease the asymmetry, causing it to quickly fade away. However, when the asymmetry between generations fades away, the legitimacy and attraction of school education will be reduced, which is the primary reason that modern schools encounter so many crises. In the age of electronic media, schools must search for a new legitimate basis and transform into a “learning community.”

The study aims at identifying the credibility of the printed and electronic Jordanian newspapers among the elite. The study population consists of media professionals, lawyers, jurists, doctors, engineers and academics. A sample of 300 individuals was drawn at a rate of (50) to each group of elites. The results of the study showed that roughly a third of the sample (31.3%) do not follow both printed and electronic newspapers in Jordan, and the main issues in which the respondents noted the change were tend in the case of printed newspaper in favor to focus more on foreign issues. While electronic newspapers have tended to focus more on internal issues. The results of the study approved the hypothesis which says that "There are no statistically significant differences in the level of credibility between printed and electronic newspapers among respondents due to their demographic veriables". The study also approved the hypothesis "There is no statistically significant differences between the interviewees due to their effect in the degree of the credibility of the printed and electronic newspaper in the range of their following".

With the arrival of the Coronavirus COVID-19 and the increase in the use of electronic media, a violation of users' Rights and Procedural Guarantees was witnessed. This was observed, for example, when accessing the services provided by the Administration, in the development of the practice that legal professionals undertook and in accessing the Contentious-Administrative Jurisdiction. Following this, the question should be asked: In what sense do the modifications made to the Code of Administrative Procedure and Administrative Litigation guarantee the effectiveness of the Public Administration in the face of Information and Communication Technologies (ITC)? The tools provided by ITC through electronic media are not adequately employed the following areas: in the services provided by the Public Administration; in the development of the exercise of legal professionals; and in access to the Contentious Jurisdiction Administrative. Therefore, it is necessary to develop pedagogical mechanisms that improve the use of these tools, so that users have adequate access to them so as their rights and procedural guarantees are not compromised.

Background: This paper explores the widely discussed relationship between electronic media use and sleep quality, indicating negative effects due to various factors. However, existing meta-analyses on the topic have some limitations., Objective: The study aims to analyze and compare the impacts of different digital media types, such as smartphones, online games, and social media, on sleep quality., Methods: Adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the study performed a systematic meta-analysis of literature across multiple databases, including Web of Science, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar, from January 2018 to October 2023. Two trained coders coded the study characteristics independently. The effect sizes were calculated using the correlation coefficient as a standardized measure of the relationship between electronic media use and sleep quality across studies. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (version 3.0) was used to perform the meta-analysis. Statistical methods such as funnel plots were used to assess the presence of asymmetry and a p-curve test to test the p-hacking problem, which can indicate publication bias., Results: Following a thorough screening process, the study involved 55 papers (56 items) with 41,716 participants from over 20 countries, classifying electronic media use into "general use" and "problematic use." The meta-analysis revealed that electronic media use was significantly linked with decreased sleep quality and increased sleep problems with varying effect sizes across subgroups. A significant cultural difference was also observed in these effects. General use was associated with a significant decrease in sleep quality (P<.001). The pooled effect size was 0.28 (95% CI 0.21-0.35; k=20). Problematic use was associated with a significant increase in sleep problems (P≤.001). The pooled effect size was 0.33 (95% CI 0.28-0.38; k=36). The subgroup analysis indicated that the effect of general smartphone use and sleep problems was r=0.33 (95% CI 0.27-0.40), which was the highest among the general group. The effect of problematic internet use and sleep problems was r=0.51 (95% CI 0.43-0.59), which was the highest among the problematic groups. There were significant differences among these subgroups (general: Q between =14.46, P=.001; problematic: Q between =27.37, P<.001). The results of the meta-regression analysis using age, gender, and culture as moderators indicated that only cultural difference in the relationship between Eastern and Western culture was significant (Q between =6.69; P=.01). All funnel plots and p-curve analyses showed no evidence of publication and selection bias., Conclusions: Despite some variability, the study overall confirms the correlation between increased electronic media use and poorer sleep outcomes, which is notably more significant in Eastern cultures., (©Xiaoning Han, Enze Zhou, Dong Liu.

Over time with the development of human society, besides communication, language started being used in other domains, the media being one of them. Language, as the main means of the media, and the media through which language is spread and popularized among people are closely related and complementary. Media Arabic, which appeared with the foundation of the first print media in the Arabic world, was additionally popularized with the foundation of the first radio and TV stations in that area. All the conditions and circumstances following the foundation and development of Arabic media affected the formation of media Arabic, so its three sources are: literary Arabic, colloquial Arabic and foreign languages. Literary Arabic gives it authenticity and currency, from colloquial language it has inherited simplicity, clarity, and preciseness, while the foreign element secures its actuality and modernity. Media Arabic constantly develops and, in that way, contributes to the development and update of language in general. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Arguing that spreading First Aid knowledge and conducting trainings must always be ongoing in all times and should never be stopped, not even during the COVID-19 pandemic crisis or other crises, the letter offers a technical guidance note, developed as a suggestion for consideration in adapting curriculum, response, and mode of education, to continue all the efforts aimed at saving lives and assisting the most vulnerable in times of crisis, while putting the safety of the staff, volunteers, emergency responders, and all First Aid providers at the heart of the whole process.

The integration between interactive media and HOTS question could give a big impact on learning process in class room, especially on learning interest and student concept understanding. Android is a learning media that could save more information and questions like ebook. This study was conducted to determine the feasibility of an Android-based electronic book with High Order Thinking Skills to Help Students Analyze Amounts on Straight Motion Material. This research method was used in the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation). The electronic book was tested for validation by the validator with an average value of 3.94 and the module readability test with respondents of 25 students who obtained an average value of 96%. Based on the data obtained, it can be conclude that the electronic book has decent criteria.

Expansion of IT-media in every field of human activity is one of the essential characteristics of modern time. This paper aims at presenting the role of electronic media in teaching translation in the field of law at the University of Osijek, Croatia, and analysing their impact on the motivation of the target group of students in the teaching process. The paper endeavours to provide some insight into the modern teaching practice and to analyse the interconnectedness of the use of electronic media and student motivation rather than to present some empirical research in the field. In the first part of the paper, a theoretical approach to teaching legal translation today is offered. In the main part, teaching legal translation by using modern media is presented on the examples of the Lifelong Learning Programme for Lawyer-Linguists at the Faculty of Law Osijek, and the course on legal translation within the German Language and Literature Studies at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences of Osijek. The usage of electronic media in translation teaching is discussed with reference to the courses Introduction to the Theory of Legal Translation and Online Translation Tools and EU Vocabulary. Specific types of online materials, translation tools and sources are discussed from the point of view of student motivation. New media are also discussed from the perspective of their efficiency at different stages of translation teaching. In the concluding part, application of modern technologies in teaching legal translation is compared with other teaching methods, approaches and techniques. Finally, the author questions using IT as motivation tools in the higher education teaching discourse and argues for application of “moderate approach” in the teaching of legal translation.

Background: Substance abuse is one of the most significant global public health issues among youths. Electronic media has become a part of day-to-day life for all. This systematic review is undertaken to comprehensively explore the effect of electronic media on substance abuse among children and adolescents. Methodology: Two review authors independently searched various electronic databases and other sources. Selection Criteria: Randomized control trials that assessed the effect of exposure of electronic media (defined as television, internet, gaming, mobile phones/phones, and radio) among participants in the age range of 5–19 years on substance abuse were included in the review. Data Collection and Analysis: Two reviewers independently extracted data. We used an approach proposed by the Cochrane Collaboration. We used GRADE profiler to assess the overall quality of the evidence. Main Results: We retrieved 6003 studies and found 15 studies that fulfilled our inclusion criteria. Since included studies differed in the type of intervention and reporting of outcomes, we did not undertake meta-analysis and choose to describe studies narratively. Quality of evidence was rated as “very low” due to too little information or too few data to be able to reach any conclusions. Authors' Conclusions: Clinicians, policymakers, and educators to partner with caregivers and youth to support electronic media use that promotes positive outcome in these areas. Registration of Systematic Review: This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (Registration number: PROSPERO 2018 CRD42018086935) available at https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID = 86935.

Context: Electronic media has become a part of day-to-day life for all, and particularly more so for children and adolescents. Exposure to electronic media may be beneficial as well as harmful. Aim: The aim of the study is to systematically synthesize existing published and non-published empirical evidence on the effect of exposure to electronic media on diet, exercise, and sexual activity. Methodology: Two reviewers independently searched online databases such as MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and EMBASE. We applied no language, date, or publication restrictions. Selection Criteria: We included randomized control trials that assessed the effect of exposure of electronic media on diet, exercise, and sexual activity in participants between 5 and 19 years. Study Selection, Data Extraction: Two reviewers independently screened studies identified in electronic search and independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of included studies. Data Analysis: We had planned to use the risk ratio or odds ratio for dichotomous data, and mean difference (MD) or standardized MD for continuous data. However, as included studied differed in types of intervention and reporting of outcomes, we did not undertake meta-analysis. Main Results: All included trials were parallel randomized controlled trials except for one that was a crossover trial. Eight studies reported the effect of electronic media on diet and exercise, two on diet, two on exercise, and one on sexual activity. Quality of evidence was rated as “very low” for all outcomes due to too little information or too few data to be able to reach to any conclusions. Conclusions: There is a little body of evidence that limits conclusions. We need to comprehend as to how to swap undesirable effects of electronic media and make it more desirable. Registration of Systematic Review: This systematic review has been registered at PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (Registration number: PROSPERO 2018 CRD42018086935) available at https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=86935.

Mental imagery is a foundational human faculty that depends on active image construction and sensorimotor experiences. However, children now spend a significant proportion of their day engaged with screen‐media, which (a) provide them with ready‐made mental images, and (b) constitute a sensory narrowing whereby input is typically focused on the visual and auditory modalities. Accordingly, we test the idea that screen‐time influences the development of children's mental imagery with a focus on mental image generation and inspection from the visual and haptic domains. In a longitudinal cross‐lagged panel design, children (n = 266) aged between 3 and 9 years were tested at two points in time, 10 months apart. Measures of screen‐time and mental imagery were employed, alongside a host of control variables including working memory, vocabulary, demographics, device ownership, and age of exposure to screen‐media. Findings indicate a statistically significant path from screen‐time at time 1 to mental imagery at time 2, above and beyond the influence of the control variables. These unique findings are discussed in terms of the influence of screen‐time on mental imagery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China reported by the Chinese authorities foreshadow an outbreak caused by a new type of coronavirus. Shortly afterwards, the World Health Organization decleared the outbreak as a pandemic due to its high infection rate and worldwide prevalence. The first diagnosis of coronavirus in Turkey was announced to the public in March, 2020. After then, several precautional meaures in social, economic, legal, religious and military areas have been adopted. In the period of the pandemic disease, several memes, urban legends, rumors, jokes, and myths concerning both the virus itself and its constrained lifestyle released into the social media. Minstrels who are the significant actors of traditional culture have written poems on the pandemic and its effects. The sensitive approaches of the minstrels to the contemporary social problems is closely related to their social role which is loaded them by the minstrelsy tradition. It is seen that the roles of the minstrels such as leading and guiding the society both affects the reasoning of writing poems and has an influence on the contents of these poems. In the quarantine period, minstrels have shared their poems especially through social media networks and Youtube. In this article, mainly the Youtube videos of the minstrels are discussed based on the motivation that Youtube provides them to reach a set of diversified audience relatively to those of existing ones. When evaluating the public opinion on the minstrelsy tradition, the posted comments of the minstrels' videos are also utilized. The large parts of the minstrels' poems refer to how and why the coronavirus appears, how it affects the daily lives, and helplessness of the mankind against to the virus and the pandemic. The poems that advise the public to stay at home and give supporting messages to the healthcare staff have also written by the minstrels. Minstrels have succeeded to be visible to the public by means of performing their poems in electronic platforms inparticular during the period of quarantine. However, considering the historical progress of minstrelsy tradition, it is quite obvious that the minstrels and their products have relatively depreciated and their roles of leading and guiding the public are becoming restricted to a certain set of audience compared to the past. In the context of social roles of minstrels, this paper also discusses the question of what are the reasons that interrupt the efforts of the minstrels who are dealing with the contemporary problems and using the contemporary technology. The audiences of the minstrels' poems have the opinion that the minstrels' wish of eradication of the cruel persons by the virus and being the virus as a kind of divine retribution contradicts to the role of minstrels as leading and guiding the public. It is inferred that the language and the style of the interpretions as well as sometimes the outlook of the minstrels upon the coronavirus pandemic and its effects are reviewed as obsolete by the audiences.

Electronic-media use is associated with sleep disruptions in childhood and adolescence, although research relies primarily on subjective sleep. Effortful control, a dimension of self-regulation, may mitigate this association by helping children disengage from and regulate responses to media. We examined associations between media use and multiple actigraph-measured sleep parameters at mean and day levels and tested children's effortful control as a moderator of mean-level relations. We collected actigraph data and parents' diary reports of children's prebedtime television, video-game, laptop, desktop, cell-phone, and tablet use in 547 twin children (7–9 years old; 51.74% female). Mean-level media use was associated with bedtime and sleep duration. For the proportion of nights on which twins used media, but not the average number of media types, effortful control attenuated associations between media use and reduced sleep duration and efficiency. Day-level media use was related only to bedtime. Findings replicate and extend existing research and highlight self-regulation as a potential protective factor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with Juraj Rusnákʼs scientific research legacy in the field of journalism, media communication as well as of communication theory in general. From a linguistic standpoint, he focuses on text semiotics, often overlapping with pop music production (lyrics) and the emotionalization of media content, but the list of his published works also includes reflections on the electronic media and pop culture. The aim of this study is to point out the coherence of Rusnákʼs academic activities in terms of journalistic, media, and linguistic theories, practice, and education of university students.

The aims of the present study were to (1) adapt and validate the Cyber Dating Abuse Questionnaire (CDAQ) for young Chileans and (2) provide data on the prevalence of cyber dating abuse in young Chileans. As a sample, 1,538 Chilean high school and university students (14–24 years old) participated in the study (59.8% females). Results showed that the CDAQ had an adequate fit with the original correlated four-factor model as well as with a second-order factor model that considered the four scales as primary factors of two secondary factors: victimization (control and aggression from the victimization perspective) and perpetration (control and aggression from the perpetrator's perspective). Reliability analysis also showed that the questionnaire presented satisfactory values for internal consistency. Scores on the CDAQ were positively correlated with traditional forms of assessing dating violence, providing new evidences of validity. Prevalence data showed cyber dating behaviors are common practices among young Chileans, with around three quarters of that population reporting being victims or aggressors. Finally, prevalence of control (around 72% for both perspectives) was higher than direct aggression (34.4% for victimization and 27% for direct aggression). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to describe the development of creativity in elementary schoolage pupils inspired using electronic media through self-actualization. Qualitative research was designed with a multicase study and the selection of informants using purposive sampling methods. Data collection involved 30 informants consisting of six pupils, six parents, two principals, ten teachers, two mentors and four peers. Indepth interviews, observations, documentation are used simultaneously to collect data. Data is analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that: (1) the development of pupil's creativity through self-actualization. Four pupils began when sitting in four grade of elementary school, one pupil since sitting in kindergarten and one pupil starting before entering school. Pupils fulfil the requirements of creativity by having a level of intelligence, verbal intelligence and creative behaviour, (2) teachers in the learning process assisted by electronic media to make it easier for children, (3) pupils have been inspired by electronic media (television, computers, internet) in themselves-actualizing. Pupils used to electronic media for entertainment, academic and other information as new knowledge. Finally, this study found that the development of pupil's creativity is inspired by the electronic media accompanied by parents or adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research aims to explore the factors of electronic media affecting the buying behavior of consumers especially the females in Pakistan. It is generally believed that females build their buying behavior from print and electronic media specifically while taking impression from related news, television dramas, showbiz activities, commercials, advertisements, celebrities, and other tools. This study is an effort to measure the impact of effects of advertising aired on electronic media on women's buying behavior in Karachi City. Overall, advertising has a great role in buying behavior. This quantitative research employs survey study as data collection tool from Karachi through random sampling. The researchers distributed 2000 questionnaires among females of academic departments of universities, housewives, journalists, teachers and students from various localities of Karachi. The results of the study showed that majority of the population was strongly affected by the commercials of various products aired on electronic media in Pakistan. A large number of females also opinionated that electronic media exploited their consumer and privacy rights and negatively led them to buy products which were not actually as per their requirements. The study was limited to the City of Karachi alone due to multiple factors including limited timeframe; however, this study may open new phenomena pertaining to this arena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to explore disturbing consequence of perception of milder kind of interpersonal maltreatments: workplace incivility which is less reported but wildly experienced at the workplace. This study investigates the relationship of observation of workplace incivility with organizational cynicism that leads toward turnover intentions. Hierarchical regression analysis with its four steps/conditions proposed by Baron and Kenney (J Personal Soc Psychol 51(6):1173, 1986) is applied to prove the workplace incivility and turnover intentions. Conclusions of the study revealed that there is a positive relationship between turnover intentions and workplace incivility while organizational cynicism plays a mediational role in this relationship.

This paper envisages how electronic media portrays the most sensitive issue of militant insurgency in the country and subsequently mediated through interpersonal discourse to develop their social consensus. The uses and gratifications theory addresses an individuals' social integrative needs through interpersonal interaction, within a social network as conversational currency. The media, exclusively electronic media provide a common ground for social integration among individuals and provide an opportunity to pent-up their catharsis regarding militant uprising through interpersonal communication to build up their social harmony. This study investigates the extent to which exposure of television news is leading to the acceptance of violence and the level of emotional empathy, pro-violence attitude and compassion fatigue towards war on terror among television news viewers. Therefore, effect of television news regarding coverage of assassination attempt on Malala Yousafzai, frequency of interpersonal discourse through social networks of the university students was examined through quantitative research technique. Subsequently, participation of interpersonal interaction, willingness to share this tragedy with their family members was measured just after this incident while using a 5-point Likert scale survey instrument. The study empirically supported that young generation have an emotional attachment to such sensitive issues which is further mediated through family members. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this descriptive study was to know the role of Jordanian Electronic Journalism in promoting positive values in society according to Jordanian journalists. The researcher used the survey method on a Intentional sampling of 146 journalists who are members of the Jordanian Press Association (JPA). The results of the study found that 52% of the respondents believed that the role of the Jordanian electronic media in promoting positive values in society was good, while 21.3% of them believed that the role was average, and 26.7% believed that the role was weak. The results revealed that the respondents evaluated positively and highly the role of Jordanian electronic media in promoting national values in society, with patriotism topping these values. In contrast, the results indicated that the respondents assessed the role of electronic media in promoting religious values as of an average level. In the order of the religious values that the media adopted to promote, rejecting discrimination and extremism came first. As for the respondents' assessment of the role of electronic media in promoting moral values, the results indicated that the role was of an average level; of these promoted moral values, integrity was ranked first.

Television viewership is measured on a regular basis. The results vary within the broadcast times and programs deployed. The ranking of television viewers in Slovakia does not change significantly at least in the top three of the largest televisions. In the current situation, at a time when we are hit by a pandemic, residents are forced to spend most of their time at home without much social activity and outside the public space. This situation therefore leads people to higher media ratings. They are interested in current information about the pandemic, but also in the media content that will fill their free time. After the closure of various facilities, schools and public spaces, people have more of it than before the government's restrictive measures to suppress the consequences of the COVID 19 pandemic. They also pay attention to watching media services providers such as Netflix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To determine the influence of media on the social behaviors towards politics, the survey based research design was carried out at Lahore Garrison University, Lahore, Pakistan. A sample of 150 students was selected randomly and they were asked to fill the questionnaire. After examining respondent's views, it was concluded that the popularity of television news channels plays greater role in increasing the interest of people in political affairs. Supposition that premeditated elective Government strained people's quality of opinion and inspire them for political contribution to claim their perspective. Media is enormous documentation of presuming information. The main conviction of this study occupied on Television news channels as public press. In this study, the audience and political phenomenon programs like the news bulletins, political talk shows and political programs like, interview of political dispositions and factual programs were examined as political awareness.

Abstract Background The new Australian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines for the Early Years recommend that, for preschoolers, a healthy 24-h includes: i) ≥180 min of physical activity, including ≥60 min of energetic play, ii) ≤1 h of sedentary screen time, and iii) 10–13 h of good quality sleep. Using an Australian sample, this study reports the proportion of preschool children meeting these guidelines and investigates associations with social-cognitive development. Methods Data from 248 preschool children (mean age = 4.2 ± 0.6 years, 57% boys) participating in the PATH-ABC study were analyzed. Children completed direct assessments of physical activity (accelerometry) and social cognition (the Test of Emotional Comprehension (TEC) and Theory of Mind (ToM)). Parents reported on children’s screen time and sleep. Children were categorised as meeting/not meeting: i) individual guidelines, ii) combinations of two guidelines, or iii) all three guidelines. Associations were examined using linear regression adjusting for child age, sex, vocabulary, area level socio-economic status and childcare level clustering. Results High proportions of children met the physical activity (93.1%) and sleep (88.7%) guidelines, whereas fewer met the screen time guideline (17.3%). Overall, 14.9% of children met all three guidelines. Children meeting the sleep guideline performed better on TEC than those who did not (mean difference [MD] = 1.41; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.36, 2.47). Children meeting the sleep and physical activity or sleep and screen time guidelines also performed better on TEC (MD = 1.36; 95% CI = 0.31, 2.41) and ToM (MD = 0.25; 95% CI = −0.002, 0.50; p = 0.05), respectively, than those who did not. Meeting all three guidelines was associated with better ToM performance (MD = 0.28; 95% CI = −0.002, 0.48, p = 0.05), while meeting a larger number of guidelines was associated with better TEC (3 or 2 vs. 1/none, p
