Halitosis is a common condition that adversely affects quality of life. Through YouTube, people access oral health information. This study aimed to analyze the quality and comprehensiveness of the content, and reliability of halitosis videos hosted on YouTube. In total, 300 videos were collected based on three search keywords, and the number of likes, dislikes, views, duration, interaction index, viewing rate, and source category. Subsequently, the video score, which represents the content quality and comprehensiveness was used to categorize videos as poor, good, and excellent. DISCERN score was used to assess video reliability. Of the 105 videos analyzed, 68 (64.8%) were uploaded by personal users. In general, videos were categorized as poor and have low reliability. Videos sourced from healthcare professionals showed the highest quality, comprehensiveness of the content, and reliability (p < 0.05). There was no difference in the number of viewers for video duration less than or more than 4 min (p > 0.05). YouTube users prefer low-quality videos over high-quality ones, indicating that viewers cannot differentiate between reliable and potentially biased content. It is critical to enable viewers to critically assimilate information hosted on YouTube to make effective oral healthcare decisions.

Mobile Learning was a learning approach that implicates the mobile devices like smartphone, PDA, tablet PC which the learner was able to access the material, instruction, and application that were relevant to the lesson without being constrained by space and time wherever or whenever they were. Mobile Learning was one of alternative for problem solving in education which comprises the problem of distribution access for education content, content quality, and others. Then, in order to strengthen the source of information for the user and minimized the cost toward the access of that education content. The new inovation for system of study that based on application in systematically and structured as the interactive media for student of  learning process in SMK Negeri 6 Padang. This application could be the appropriate solution for learning in the school and minimize the incorrectness. The design of this system was implementationed by using language of program PHP 7.3.0 with MYSQL of database. In order to design this system involved Used Case Diagram, Activity Diagram, Context Diagram, Flowmap, Normalization, and Entity Relationship Diagram. This system was involved at least 3 users that are Administrator, Teacher, and Student. The registered users have right to access for the system by login with using username and password. This application was designed by using mini server Raspberry Pi 3 model B+ on the web server which based on  Moodle, and platform android as the application for client.Keywords: Mobile Learning, Android, PHP, MYSQL, Moodle.

Abstract Background YouTube is currently the second most popular website in the world and it is often used by patients to access health information online. Our aim was to evaluate the content-quality of YouTube videos relating to bipolar disorder. Methods We chose the first 30 videos for four different search phrases: ”bipolar disorder,” ”bipolar disorder treatment,” ”bipolar disorder symptoms” and ”manic depression.” Video contents were evaluated by two independent final year medical students using the validated DISCERN instrument. Qualitative data, quantitative data and the upload source was recorded for analysis. Results Out of the total 120 videos, 80 videos met our inclusion criteria and were evaluated. The mean DISCERN score was 63.5 (out of 75 possible points). This indicates that the quality of YouTube videos on bipolar disorder is excellent. Reliability between the two raters was excellent (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.96). Nearly all videos had symptoms of the disorder (100%) and the impact of the disorder on daily life (98.8%). Videos were mostly uploaded by educational channels (61.3%) and hospitals (16.3%). Videos that had a doctor speaker had a significantly higher average daily views, comments and a video power index (P<0.05). Conclusions The quality of YouTube videos on bipolar disorder is good. We have included a list of the top-quality videos in our paper as they may be used by patients and physicians as a reference to find the most reliable videos for patient education. Having a doctor speaker in a video optimizes a video for higher audience engagement.

Van de Hulst (Paper 64, Table 1) has marked optical polarization as a questionable or marginal source of information concerning magnetic field strengths. Rather than arguing about this–I should rate this method asq+-, or quarrelling about the term ‘model-sensitive results’, I wish to stress the historical point that as recently as two years ago there were still some who questioned that optical polarization was definitely due to magnetically-oriented interstellar particles.
