Preserving Romantic Relationship in the Age of Social Media | Chapter 7 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 5

The use of telephones and computers has paved the way for the recent addition to communication, the social networking platform (SNS). Facebook is one of the most popular social networking sites (SNS) that recreates face-to-face interactions on the web by allowing people to interact publicly or privately. This research explored the role of social media in preserving romantic relationships among university faculty, staff, and students. The study, employing a descriptive survey and correlational design, investigated the relationship between social media use and romantic relationship outcomes. The study was conducted at the Bohol Island State University (BISU) Candijay Campus, Cogtong, Candijay, Bohol, Philippines. A questionnaire assessed participants' Facebook usage patterns and their romantic relationships, focusing on aspects like partner surveillance, relationship satisfaction, self-disclosure, and social intimacy. Most of the respondents were female who covered the major populace in the university and dominated the number of populations in school with fifty-seven (57) or 76%. The result indicated that respondents value the importance of understanding in maintaining relationships. The findings indicated a slight positive correlation between partner surveillance on Facebook and relationship satisfaction. This suggests that increased partner surveillance on the platform might lead to greater relationship satisfaction, while a lack of it could potentially contribute to relationship strain. However, the study also acknowledged that other factors, such as affectionate communication, play a significant role in relationship satisfaction. Based on these results, the research recommends that strong communication and interaction between partners are crucial for maintaining healthy romantic relationships, even in the context of social media platforms like Facebook; there is a need for a school program to guide the students, faculty, and staff in handling healthy relationship and affectionate communication shall be given value in maintaining a romantic relationship.

Social Networks and Its Role in the Modern World | Chapter 2 | Science and Technology - Recent Updates and Future Prospects Vol. 5

 In today's world, social networks are crucial. Information sharing is one of the key tasks carried out by this contemporary service. When I think back to the Arab uprising, I can remember how Twitter and Facebook were used to coordinate protests, notify participants of the date, time, and location, and emphasize the rallies' intended results. I have uncovered a lot of evidence to back up my claims, and I can now understand how Twitter and Facebook usage had a significant role in the emergence of the so-called Arab Spring. Data from both primary and secondary sources are used to support this thesis. The project report was written using MS-WORD, and the charts and graphs were created using MS-EXCEL. Data collection was done using the questionnaire approach and 30 people participated. The data analysis presented above highlights the significance of developing a strong social network because it enables us to forge intimate connections with our target market. I came across the following quote while reading Huang's article "Facebook and Twitter vital to Arab Spring uprising: report": "Social networks played a critical role in mobilisation, empowering, sharing thoughts and influencing change."

Poorer pupils also took part in the online tasks, but it was judged that they needed more time and effort to build confidence in utilising common English terms. What matters is that the group's teacher clearly said that each student's enthusiasm to study English had grown significantly, and that this was true for both the stronger and weaker students.

Determining the Impact of Social Networks for Increasing Life Expectancy of Patients with Non-Communicable Diseases in COVID-19 Pandemic | Chapter 4 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 7

 Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are lethal chronic diseases that cause a slew of side effects, problems, low quality of life, and silent deaths for millions of people worldwide, according to the COVID-19 pandemic. In this COVID-19 pandemic environment, patients will need ongoing care and awareness for a long period to maintain a better health status and avoid consequences. A patient with a poor quality of life may only obtain such care at a medical clinic or during a doctor's visit. However, due to the current quarantine curfews and country-wide lockdowns, visiting a medical clinic or a doctor has become extremely impossible. As a result, it's critical to find new ways to educate people about non-communicable diseases. In this COVID-19 outbreak, this research study aims to determine how people with noncommunicable diseases might extend their lives and avoid complications and deaths by reducing their blood sugar levels, cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, and BMI (Body Mass Index). We used popular social networking sites (SNS) WhatsApp and Facebook to undertake an at-home awareness programme to enhance the living conditions of patients with non-communicable diseases and prevent complications and deaths. The study included 620 individuals who had registered at the Rathnapura Teaching Hospital's non-communicable illness clinic, with 120 participants chosen at random for investigation. The bulk of the patients are between the ages of 45 and 65. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups (control or normal) and data was collected. To test for differences between two groups, an independent t-test was employed, and a paired sample t-test was utilised to corroborate the difference. The at-home SNS awareness training had a positive influence on lowering LDL cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and blood pressure, according to the findings (systolic and diastolic). The elements also have a significant link to the SNS awareness campaign. The programme, however, has little effect on the BMI factor. The number of SNS referral times and the SNS awareness programme have a substantial impact on reducing LDL cholesterol, fasting blood sugar, and blood pressure levels. This would be a better way to explain how to improve the quality of life of noncommunicable disease patients in this COVID-19 pandemic environment in order to avoid complications and deaths. Future research should examine into why the at-home SNS awareness training had no effect on BMI well-being, which is another crucial element in ensuring that those patients have a long life expectancy.

Emphasizing Responsible Research and Innovation for the Media Facebook: Community Involvement in the Study on Agrobiodiversity | Chapter 4 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 8

The presented research was developed at the Pontifical Catholic University of Paraná-PUCPR in Curitiba, Brazil and has organized two activities: an agrobiodiversity exhibition and a MOOC course on Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) with the theme COVID19 as its final exercise, both organized by the Practice on Teaching and Learning with Educational Technologies research group. In the first operation, this group had a collaboration with the Engage Project that implements RRI methods, equipping the next generation to engage in scientific problems to transform how science is taught. PRAPECTEC has an ongoing project sponsored by the National Council for Scientific and Technical Advancement (CNPQ-Brazil), which involves RRI practices in both operations. In this context, the question posed by this research was as follows: how to explore agrobiodiversity-related issues and COVID 19 in order to promote RRI? The goal of this study was to promote two RRI practices through the Facebook social network, one on agrobiodiversity and one on COVID in a MOOC, in order to disseminate questions addressed to this topic. These activities have national and international implications, affecting teachers, students and the population from Brazil and other countries in general, with a spectrum of participation from a diverse audience. The findings indicate that there is still a lot to learn about the practice of RRI. We conclude that the Agrobiodiversity exhibition, the first activity of RRI practice involving the issue of genetically modified products, can reflect a process of teaching and learning that is more aware and collaborative, enabling different actors to be included and fostering a connection between society and science.
