Authors: Ullah Atta , Khan Khurshaid , Bibi Nehafta , Ahmad Shakeel
Published: June 2024

In landscape ecology, it has become increasingly essential to understand the consequences of past, current, and future human land use patterns for biodiversity and ecosystem function. The most significant factor affecting biodiversity loss is land-use and land-cover change (LULCC). We examine here the impact of long-term changes in LULCC from 2000–2020 on the biodiversity of Marghazar valley in Swat District. Information was also gathered on the perceptions of the surrounding communities based on the flow of ecosystem services (ES), historical changes, and the causes of those changes. Satellite imagery data were used to map LULCC, identify possible causes, and assess the impact of LULCC on the population of partridges. In the last 20 years, forest area has reduced by 23 km2 (33%) and the seasonal water body has declined by 1.015 km2 (2.15%). There was a 38.5 km2 decrease in agricultural land. In contrast, the built-up area increased by 384%, resulting in a total growth of 26.3 km2 and an expansion of 41.1 km2 grassland. Deforestation, agricultural expansions, urbanization, economic considerations and changes in land tenure policy were identified to be the main drivers of LULCC. The primary impact of LULCC on partridges in the studied area are land degradation, population declines, habitat disruption, displacement of partridges by livestock and increasing human-wildlife conflicts. Despite ongoing human pressure, the Marghazar valley still provides extensive habitat for wildlife. Interventions may be needed to maintain biodiversity and ensure long-term ecological services in the area.

Published: June 2024

The intestinal microbiota plays an important role in the digestion of food provided by parents to their hatchlings. Non-pathogenic bacteria in the digestive tract can be significantly beneficial to the host species, while pathogenic bacteria can reduce hatchling survival and lead to a decline in the number of new generation. Microbiological analysis of cloacal microflora of hatchlings revealed a highly diverse microbial load present from hatching until fledging (at 15 days) in Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica). The intestinal microflora of 15-day-olds was the most diverse, and two groups are dependent on age: CPG and Lactobacilli are mostly present in hatchlings of the second and third ages (10 and 15 days). Our research was conducted to identify certain bacterial species, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Lactobacillus, Streptococcus, and Staphylococcus. The presence of most species was related to age, while the presence of Salmonella was accidental.
Construction of Personal Identity Through Linguistic Device: An Anthropologial Linguistics Analysis
Authors: Toan Ly Ngoc
Published: June 2024

Purpose: This study aims to explore the crucial role of language in constructing and expressing individual and group identities across diverse social and cultural contexts in Vietnam. This study integrates theoretical frameworks from Gee's work on discourse and identity, and Bucholtz and Hall's principles on the linguistic construction of identity.
 
Methods: The study employs a mixed-methods approach combining ethnographic observations, in-depth interviews, and discourse analysis to gain deep insights into the complex interplay between linguistic practices and identity formation processes.
 
Results: The key findings reveal that language serves as a powerful tool for constructing multifaceted identities, with linguistic choices functioning as identity markers, enabling the expression of group membership, the establishment of boundaries, and the negotiation of power relations within and across communities. These findings provide deep insights into understanding the role of language in shaping identities in Vietnam.
 
Discussion: The study has practical applications in developing comprehensive, equitable, and culturally-sensitive language resources, educational strategies, and language policies to recognize and value the linguistic diversity of multilingual communities.
The Impact of Tax Understanding, Gender, and Love of Money on Tax Evasion with Religiosity as a Moderating Variable
Authors: Sunarsih Uun , Hakim Muhhamad Avip Denis , Rusmanto Toto
Published: June 2024

Objective: This study aims to examine whether tax understanding, gender, and love of money influence tax evasion and whether religiosity can moderate the effects of tax understanding, gender, and love of money on tax evasion.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study integrates the theory of planned behavior, attribution theory, and tax understanding to explore the factors influencing tax evasion behavior, emphasizing the role of religiosity as a potential moderator.
 
Method: A quantitative approach was employed with a sample of 280 individual taxpayers in DKI Jakarta, selected using purposive sampling. Primary data were collected through questionnaire surveys.
 
Results and Discussion: Findings indicate that tax understanding significantly influences tax evasion, as higher tax understanding reduces the propensity for tax evasion. Gender does not affect tax evasion, while love of money positively influences tax evasion behavior. However, religiosity does not moderate the relationships between tax understanding, gender, love of money, and tax evasion..
 
Research Implications: The study sheds light on the complex interplay between psychological factors and tax compliance behavior, providing insights for policymakers and tax authorities to design more effective interventions
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature by examining the moderating role of religiosity in the relationship between psychological factors and tax evasion, offering new perspectives for understanding tax compliance behavior

Published: June 2024

Bckgrownd :Asthma can impair airway development and reduce maximally attained lung function, and these deficits in lung function can persist or extend into adulthood without further progressive loss. Asthmatic patients are more vulnerable to infections and noncommunicable chronic co-morbidities, which are linked to poorer asthma outcomes. Aim:    The current study aimed to assess the impact of asthma and its treatment on children's growth parameters.Pateint and Method:     A convenient sample of 200 children in primary school aged (6-12 years) was enrolled including a case group consisting of 100 patients who were presented with asthma; This group was subdivided into two subgroups (50 children using steroids as a treatment and 50 children with asthma using non-steroidal therapy) and 100 healthy children in the control group. Results:  The results of the current study showed that male constitutes the largest percentage of the sample (56%). There was a difference between the study groups regarding age, gender, and residency. The parent's asthma, exposure to smoking, lower respiratory tract infection, and allergy were confirmed as risk factors for asthma in children. The means of anthropometric parameters, except height, were higher among asthmatic patients with regular steroids than those with intermittent steroid use and healthy child in the control group. The height mean was lower in asthmatic patients with regular steroid use than those with intermittent steroid use and healthy children in the control group. Conclusion :  There were associations between childhood asthma and its treatment and impairment of growth parameters
Perspectives for the application of the provisions on indemnity established by FIDIC Silver Book in the field of construction contracts in Russia
Authors: Lyapustina Natalya Aleksandrovna , Rybka Oleg Sergeevich
Published: June 2024

The object of the study is the institute of compensation for property losses, fixed in one of the standard contracts of the International Federation of Consulting Engineers (FIDIC) – the Silver Book. The FIDIC Silver Book is the most interesting for providing a universal contract base in Russia, as a task set by the Government of the Russian Federation in the Strategy for Exporting Services until 2025. It is in this proforma that the main conditions of the EPC are reflected: design work, purchase of materials, construction work. One of the tools common in the Anglo-Saxon legal system is indemnity, which has appeared relatively recently in domestic civil law. By allowing you to manage the risks of construction projects, this institution is attractive to investors and parties to a construction contract. The authors investigate the provisions on indemnity, fixed in the FIDIC Silver Book, to establish the possibility of their application in the field of construction contracts in the territory of the Russian Federation.  The authors used such methods as: analysis, synthesis, comparative law, deduction, induction. The scientific novelty of the study is due to the fact that there are few works devoted to the applicability of the terms of FIDIC contracts in Russia, and there are practically no studies on the applicability of the conditions for compensation of losses fixed in them. However, in order to achieve the goals set by the Service Export Strategy until 2025, it is necessary to find out whether there are significant contradictions between the terms of FIDIC contracts and the norms of national legislation that prevent their application in Russia. The most interesting are the prospects for applying the provisions on compensation for property losses fixed in standard contracts, which are quite attractive both for the parties to the contract and for investors. In this regard, a special contribution of the authors to the study of the topic is the establishment of the applicability in Russia of the provisions on compensation for property losses fixed in the FIDIC Silver Book. Within the framework of this scientific work, it was revealed that most of the analyzed provisions do not contradict the mandatory norms of Russian law.
A autoria em textos produzidos por inteligência artificial e por alunos em uma perspectiva discursiva
Authors: Fernandes Carolina
Published: June 2024

Nesse artigo, problematizo o conceito de autoria a partir da análise de textos produzidos por inteligência artificial (IA) em comparação a textos produzidos por sujeitos-alunos em produções escolares a fim de compreender o funcionamento da autoria nos processos de produção de sentidos, observando o grau de autoria do texto da IA e, concluir, se sua escrita pode mesmo superar a do sujeito-humano em sua prática linguageira. As análises são operadas pelo dispositivo teórico-analítico da Análise do Discurso de vertente Materialista, em que a linguagem é considerada materialidade discursiva e, assim, ideológica (Orlandi, 1994). Os resultados das análises mostram que a inteligência artificial, em seu atual estágio de desenvolvimento, não é capaz de romper com a repetição parafrástica do dizer e produzir efeito de originalidade ao ponto de se colocar na posição de autor. Reproduzindo os dados que lhe são fornecidos dentro dos comandos a que está determinada, produz apenas um simulacro de função-autor que permite o ChatGPT construir sentenças coerentes por meio do arquivo digital a que tem acesso. Assim, conclui-se que, embora o sujeito-aluno possa se colocar na posição-escrevente ao se apropriar do texto produzido pelo programa, não há superação das potencialidades humanas quanto à produção de sentidos singulares que elevam o grau de autoria.

Published: June 2024

Two decades have gone by since the discovery of carbon dots (CDs) and a lot of research on CDs has been published. However, still, there is no comprehensive overview of how this research has evolved and to which direction it is going. Herein, with the power of big data analytics, an attempt was made to illuminate the journey of CD research. A total of 24599 publications from the Web of Science Core Collection for the period of 2004 – 2024 were studied with Biblioshiny and VOSviewer coupled with manual studies. The included publications originate from 115 countries, ~8K institutions, and ~66K authors. China produced ~50% of the publications. The Chinese Academy of Science appeared as the most productive institution. Authors with nine or more publications emerged as the core authors. Publications were categorized as per the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Synthesis (green synthesis, facile synthesis, hydrothermal synthesis), sensing, photoluminescence, photocatalysis, composites, drug delivery, bioimaging, etc. appeared as the hot research topics on CD.
Phosphorylated Sporopollenin as a Sustainable Catalyst for Selective 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural Production in Water: Insights into Phos-phate Functionalization, Kinetics, and Mechanism
Authors: Sharma Raina , Selvaraj Tamilmani , Vijayendran Gowri , Varghese Jithin John , Jayamurugan Govindasamy
Published: June 2024

Metal-free Brønsted acid catalysts in water are known to facilitate undesired side reactions such as polymers and formic acid synthesis, making it challenging to synthesize 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from C6 sugars. Therefore, water-tolerant organic heterogeneous catalysts with high selectivity towards 5-HMF are of great interest. In this study, sporopollenin (ex-ine), a natural biopolymer biomass, is employed as a heterogeneous support. We demonstrate for the first time that ortho-phosphoric acid-cleaning of the protoplasmic content on spores produces empty sporopollenin (ESP) functionalized with mono- and di-phosphoesters (41:59), (ESP-Phos) which can be used as a selective sustainable catalyst for the formation of 5-HMF from glucose. Activating ESP-Phos at 200 °C results in a substantial increase in the di-phosphoester ratio of ESP-Phos200 (29:71), as shown by 31P NMR. This results in improved activity (92% yield) and selectivity (96%) for the synthe-sis of 5-HMF. The DFT calculations further suggest that glucose to di-phosphoester interactions are stronger (–86.1 kJ mol–1) than mono-phosphoester interactions (–72.5 kJ mol–1), explaining the potential enhancement in glucose to 5-HMF cataly-sis. Kinetics analysis indicated that the catalytic system follows a pseudo-first-order reaction. ESP-Phos200 increased the glucose to HMF formation rate 23-fold (rate constant k = 0.0046 min–1) higher under optimized conditions (180 oC, 12 h) as compared to the humin formation rate. A detailed mechanistic study involving isotopic labelling, 13C NMR, and DFT calcu-lations suggested that ESP-Phos200 followed a direct glucose dehydration mechanism rather than glucose isomerization to fructose and its subsequent dehydration. Although humin polymer deposition was observed after each run (up to 4 cycles), causing deactivation of active sites, subsequent calcining of ESP-Phos200 at 200°C restored the activity. The catalyst and reaction method used here for the synthesis of 5-HMF are environmentally friendly, sustainable, and promising for large-scale production of 5-HMF.
Chemical and Physical Metrics in Establishing Benchmarks for Chemotherapy Drug Efficacy
Authors: Karkafi Jeremy
Published: June 2024

Small-molecule enzyme inhibitors have been employed as chemotherapy medications for decades, proving to be valuable tools in inhibiting oncogenic mechanisms at the molecular level [1]. The prevalence of these inhibitors as drugs allows for extensive cross-comparison of their properties, both chemical and dynamic. Many of these properties are intertwined with binding energy dynamics and the mobility of a drug throughout cell membranes, defining their efficiency and capability in being transported to a target enzyme and binding to said enzyme to inhibit its activity [2]. In this paper, I compare chemical and physical properties of FDA-approved cancer chemotherapy medications in five families of enzyme inhibitors to identify metric-based trends or benchmarks that may estimate the viability or extent of efficacy for a given chemotherapy medication in early research and development.
Uncovering the nutraceutical potentials of fermented sago starch “Lemantak”
by endophytic fungi
Authors: Mohd Razali N.A.Q. , Ahmad Husaini A.A.S. , Ngieng N.S. , Suhaili N. , Roslan H.A.
Published: June 2024

Fermentation food has been widely consumed since ancient times due to its many
beneficial properties as well as improved texture and taste. Raw sago starch
“lemantak” (RSS “lemantak”) is one of the staple foods in the state of Sarawak. Derived
from the bark of Metroxylon sagu, this starch has yet to be investigated in terms of its
phytochemical and nutraceutical properties after being subjected to fermentation. This
study investigated the nutraceutical of fermented RSS “lemantak” in its phenolic content
and antioxidant activity in different fermentation conditions by selected endophytic fungi,
Aspergillus niger, Penicillium chermesinum and Fusarium equiseti. This study compared
two different fermentation modes and also investigated phenolic production by
manipulating the fungal consortia, incubation period as well as the solvent used. It was
determined that the best endophyte culture was consortia of Aspergillus niger and
Penicillium chermesinum under solid state fermentation (SSF) while monoculture
Aspergillus niger was the best fungal culture under SMF. It was found that the dual
cultures of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chermesinum (AP) showed high total
phenolic content of 174.95 mg GAE/g and high antioxidant activity at different
concentrations ranging from 90.21-76.17% under solid-state fermentation at day 7. In
contrast, under submerged fermentation, it was found that consortia of Aspergillus niger
and Penicillium chermesinum produced low phenolic content of 11.54 mg GAE/g and had
lower antioxidant capacity with the range values of 39.26-34.03%. On the other hand,
monoculture Aspergillus niger strives best under SMF at 203.65 mg GAE/g and has good
antioxidant activity of 90.72-14.15% of scavenging activity. Nevertheless, it was
determined that the dual culture of AP showed high potential based on the phenolic
content antioxidant activity under SSF while monoculture A. niger showed potential as a
phenolic content producer and antioxidant activity. This study ascertained that the best
conditions for fermented RSS “lemantak” with higher phenolic content and antioxidant
properties are the methanol extract of fermented RSS inoculated with dual cultures
Aspergillus niger and Penicillium chermesinum for a period of 7 days of incubation under
SSF.

Published: June 2024

Watermelon ranks fifth in Malaysian fruit production after coconut, durian, banana and
pineapple. Its export value has increased significantly at 6.2%, from 60 thousand MT
(2018) to 64 thousand MT. Losses happen throughout the supply chain, especially during
the production and logistic process. The watermelon supply chain involves one- or twotier supply chain, which comprises movement from producers, wholesalers, retailers and
final users. A preliminary survey had been conducted to estimate the postharvest losses
percentage along the supply chain. The total postharvest loss for watermelon in Malaysia
was high at 33%, with losses at the collection centre accumulating the highest percentage
(56%). This high loss needs to be addressed as it will affect the farmers’ income and lead
to an increase in food waste in the agriculture sector. A study on sanitation treatment to
reduce fungal infection and extend the shelf life of watermelon was conducted. Sanitation
treatments consisted of dipping the watermelon fruit in water treated with 250 ppm
sodium hypochlorite for 30 seconds (Treatment 1) and spraying the peduncle with 250
ppm propiconazole fungicide (Treatment 2). Unsanitized fruit was set as control
(Treatment 3). Results showed that sanitized watermelon samples (dipped in sodium
hypochlorite or sprayed with propiconazole) rated acceptable until four weeks of storage
at the ambient temperature of 27°C. Unsanitized fruit was infected with mould and thus
rated as poor. Biochemical properties were not affected by sanitation treatment. In
conclusion, sanitation using 250 ppm sodium hypochlorite or 250 ppm propiconazole
helps slow down the fungal infection and extends the shelf life of watermelon fruit up to
four weeks. This sanitation treatment is recommended to be included in the watermelon
postharvest handling procedure to maintain good quality, reduce losses and expand the
market for domestic and export.

Published: June 2024

Şirvanlı Mehmed Hâlis Efendi, Osmanlı’nın son döneminde 1843-1913 yılları arasında yaşamış son Osmanlı uleması şahsiyetlerden biridir. Memleketi Şirvan’da başlayan ilim hayatı bir süre Amasya’da devam etmiş ve İstanbul’da kemâle ermiştir. Fatih Camii’nde Yusuf Ziyaeddin Efendi’nin rahle-i tedrisinden geçtikten ve onun ilk icâzet verdiği isimlerden biri olduktan sonra Kemalpaşa’da müdürlük ve Menemen’de kaymakamlık gibi bazı görevlerde bulunmuş; ardından yetiştiği Fatih Külliyesinin önemli kısımlarından olan Tabhâne Medresesi’nde dersler vermiş ve Ders Vekili makamına kadar yükselmiştir. Vefatına kadar Meclis-i Tedkîkât-ı Şer’iyye azalığında bulunmuştur. Koca Mustafa Paşa Askerî Rüşdiyesi’nde Arapça ve Galata Rüşdiyesi’nde Farsça muallimliği yapsa da onun en çok emek verdiği kurum özellikle Arapça, akaid, belagat ve fıkıh derslerini okuttuğu ve otuzbeş yıl hizmet ettiği Dârüşşafaka olmuştur. Arapçaya ve Farsçaya olan vukûfiyyeti dolayısıyla kaleme aldığı eserler Dârüşşafaka’da ders kitabı olarak okutulmuştur.

Incongruencies and Detrimental Effects of Neoliberal Education Reform in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)
Authors: Litz David , Blaik Rida
Published: June 2024

Charged with postcolonial educational planning and development activities over the last 50-70 years, the context and content of educational planning and policymaking have evolved considerably in most Arab countries. The methodologies of planning and policymaking have also changed to match changing milieus and national priorities. Despite some accomplishments, many have amassed a record of educational policy and reform undertakings that have been less successful. Moreover, many Arab countries have been shown to continually lag behind other regions with similar levels of development, such as Latin America and South Asia. However, a few regional countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), have taken a leading role in educational change initiatives in the implementation of globalized neoliberal reforms. More precisely, they have promoted bilingual (English/Arabic) and imported curricula, the modernization of school systems, privatization, standardization, accountability, school choice, and assessment reform. This study examined the implementation of recent UAE neoliberal reforms utilizing a framework derived from postmodern (neo)institutional analysis. This study argues that many policy undertakings have included contradictions and harmful impacts impeding the achievement of intended goals. Furthermore, educational policymaking has been caught between global and centralized national prescriptions for education and its role in society and unique contextual demands, which have created administrative challenges, dissatisfaction, and public resentment.

Published: June 2024

Amaç: Bu araştırmada; farklı yaş, cinsiyet ve besleme programının midilli ırklarının cidago ve sağrı yükseklikleri ile göğüs çevresine olan etkisi belirlenmiştir.

Materyal ve Methot: Araştırmanın hayvan materyalini; 29 erkek, 38 dişi olmak üzere toplam 67 adet 2 ila 25 yaş arasındaki midilli türü oluşturmaktadır. Veriler hayvanlara ait pedigri kayıtlarından alınmıştır. Hayvanlar, ≤ 7, 8 ≤ x ≤11 ve 12 ≤ yaş gruplarına göre dağıtılmış olup; yaş, cinsiyet ve yetiştiriciler tarafından tercih edilen öğün sayısı ve günlük tüketilen yem miktarının vücut ölçülerine etkisi incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Midillilerde yaşın artmasıyla birlikte genel olarak vücut ölçüleri önemli derecede artar iken (P<0.05), cinsiyetin etkisi önemsiz bulunmuştur. Cidago yüksekliği ve göğüs çevresi açısından yaş x cinsiyet arasında interaksiyon gözlemlenmiştir (P<0.05). Besleme metodunun vücut ölçülerine etkisi olmadığı ve yetiştiriciler tarafından dikkate alınmadığı görülmektedir.

Sonuç: Atlarda vücut çatısı 4-6 yaş arasında oluşmasına rağmen; ileri yaştaki midilli ırklarının yağlanması ölçülerin yüksek çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Çiftliklerde yaşla birlikte aktivitelerine göre bir besleme programı yapılmadığı görülmektedir. Bununla birlikte midilli ırkları içinde varyasyonun yüksek olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Barros Alberto Ribeiro Gonçalves de
Published: June 2024

Na retomada e atualização do pensamento republicano, observada na obra de Philip Pettit, um dos aspectos mais relevantes e inovadores é a defesa de um modelo de democracia capaz de efetivar o ideal de liberdade como ausência de dominação. O modelo proposto tem o propósito de superar os inconvenientes dos modelos procedimental e deliberativo, sem descartar a procedimento da representação política. O artigo pretende examinar a maneira como Pettit trata o procedimento da representação política em seu modelo de democracia e discutir se este modelo alcança os objetivos almejados por Pettit.

Abordaremos a estrutura geral de cada projeto e os relatos das experiências dos discentes extensionistas. A OBMEP é a maior olimpíada científica do mundo. Realizada desde 2005, foi inicialmente pensada para incentivar o ensino de matemática nas escolas públicas, porém, atualmente ela é aberta para alunos de escolas privadas e, desde 2022, também está sendo aplicada para os alunos entre o 2º e o 5º anos do ensino fundamental através da OBMEP Mirim. Nosso principal objetivo foi estimular alunos das escolas participantes a praticarem exercícios da OBMEP para terem maior familiaridade e, por conseguinte, obterem melhores resultados nesta olimpíada. Foram realizadas atividades semanais nas escolas participantes, onde eram abordadas técnicas e estratégias para resolução de problemas de edições anteriores da olimpíada. Por fim, apresentamos uma síntese dos relatos das experiências dos discentes do curso de licenciatura de matemática nas escolas participantes do projeto, destacando os aprendizados, as vivências e principais dificuldades encontradas na execução da parte prática do projeto.
CAPÍTULO 17 - PUNIÇÃO E CONSCIENTIZAÇÃO NAS ESCOLAS: A RESPONSABILIDADE DAS INSTITUIÇÕES DE ENSINO ACERCA DO BEM-ESTAR DE SEUS ALUNOS
Authors: Oliveira Pedro Henrique Lopes de , Lima Cezar Bueno de
Published: June 2024

A punição é uma forma de estabelecimento do poder. Por vezes nota-se a sua execução sendo como algo trivial e que pouco afeta o nosso cotidiano, justamente por estarmos tão acostumados com essa prática repressora que deixamos de questionar o que poderia ser feito em relação a isso. Afinal, a violência se tornou uma espécie de aspecto naturalizado na sociedade muito antes de sequer pensarmos em sua aplicação de modo estrutural. Independente do ambiente retratado, é possível remeter diferentes elementos e comportamentos a determinadas atitudes e práticas particulares; a violência é uma maneira de instigar um conflito entre o indivíduo e a realidade em que ele se encontra. E desde cedo, antes mesmo do indivíduo se constituir como sujeito socialmente integrado, precisa-se passar pelo ambiente escolar, juntamente de todas as experiências aí presentes.

Published: June 2024

Digital technology has developed rapidly nowadays, and affects all areas of life, including the business activities. Currently, many companies use the popularity of electronic social media to promote their products and brands. There are many types of social media that are popular among consumers, such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter (X) and the last one is TikTok. Since 2016, social media users have had access to TikTok, a short video application originally devoted to music and created by Bytedance. Recently, TikTok has rapidly gained popularity among social media users. However, there has not been much social and business research into the effectiveness of TikTok in influencing consumer attitudes and behavior towards products and brands. on the other hand, the concern of the government, society and some consumers regarding the need to preserve the environment and consume environmentally friendly products is urgent. Therefore, a lot of research is needed that combines two things; The first is the effectiveness of social media in encouraging consumer buying behavior, and the second is consumer concern for consuming environmentally friendly and green products. This research aims to test whether promotional activities on TikTok social media can influence a consumer's brand trust and brand engagement; and do brand trust and brand engagement influence the intention to purchase environmentally friendly products? To answer the research hypothesis, this study employed the Purposive Sampling method with 283 participants, including students, alumni, and colleagues of Duta Wacana Christian University, to examine the effectiveness of TikTok as a means of promoting hedonic products in the digital era. This research using survey methods with questionnaire; and researcher using purposive random sampling as a sampling technique. The Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method was used to process the data and evaluate the research model and hypotheses. The SEM analysis and hypothesis testing results indicate that consumer activity on social media has a positive and significant effect on consumer trust in brands that are often promoted via social media. Additionally, the social media marketing variable has a positive and significant effect on the Brand Engagement variable. The study found that both the Brand Trust and Brand Engagement variables had a positive and significant impact on Purchase intention variable, indicating a desire to purchase a particular brand. The results suggest that consumers who wish to purchase products through TikTok are typically active on the platform and have a sense of trust and engagement with the brand.

This concept note explores the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in autism therapy, aiming to enhance therapeutic outcomes for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). VR provides immersive, controlled environments for practicing social, cognitive, and motor skills, while AI offers personalized, adaptive learning experiences and real-time feedback. The synergy of these technologies promises innovative, effective interventions that cater to the unique needs of each child. This project proposes the development and evaluation of a VR-AI therapy platform, focusing on improving social interaction, communication, and daily living skills among young children with autism. The integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) into autism therapy offers a transformative approach to enhancing treatment effectiveness and accessibility. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents unique challenges in social interaction, communication, and behavior, requiring tailored therapeutic interventions. VR provides immersive environments where individuals with ASD can safely practice social scenarios, sensory processing, and daily living skills. AI, particularly through machine learning algorithms, can personalize these virtual experiences by adapting to the user's progress and specific needs, offering real-time feedback and data-driven insights for therapists. This concept note explores the synergistic potential of combining VR and AI in autism therapy. VR environments can be meticulously controlled and replicated, allowing for consistent therapeutic sessions. AI can analyze user interactions within these environments, providing granular data to refine treatment plans. The integration aims to make therapy more engaging, individualized, and scalable. This approach not only enhances the effectiveness of traditional therapies but also addresses limitations such as therapist availability and the need for generalized settings. Furthermore, this technology-driven paradigm can democratize access to high-quality autism therapy, particularly in underserved regions. The proposed integration of VR and AI heralds a new era in autism therapy, promising improved outcomes and greater inclusivity.
