Twitter is one of the most accessed social media, especially by teenagers, with a high rate of anonymity. This phenomenon raises questions regarding whether any effects arise from the usage of anonymous accounts. This study aims to find out the impact of using an anonymous Twitter account on its users from the perspective of Derek Parfit's self-identity theory. The research method used is a mixture of quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative data is obtained through surveys and qualitative through interviews. The survey was conducted online on a population of 50 teenagers, with the sample criteria being at least 18 years old and being an anonymous account user on Twitter. The sampling was taken randomly from the population. The interview method was carried out on the same people and sample with a smaller quantity to strengthen the survey data. The results show that using Twitter anonymously is directly proportional to being more open (oversharing). The results of this study are in accordance with Derek Parfit's self-identity theory which believes that a person will tend to be more forthcoming if they do not know each other's identity. With the finding that using anonymous accounts seems to provide an incentive to express themselves more freely, it is hoped that this research can be a source of additional studies and create a more reflective attitude for all social media users in general. This study is limited to anonymous users of social media Twitter in the adolescent age range.

Purpose The growing prison population and challenges related to recruiting and retaining suitable correctional officers (COs) in Canada provided the impetus for the current study. Recruitment efforts in provinces and territories often rely on a variety of diverse testing, ranging from physical fitness to in-person interviews. However, despite such efforts, turn-over rates remain high and insight into what motivates people to seek a career in correctional work continues to require elucidation. By investigating the career development of COs, the purpose of this paper is to understand why certain men seek employment in this field. Design/methodology/approach Data are derived from in-depth semi-structured interviews with male officers (n=41) who have employment experience in provincial correctional facilities. Findings Respondents discussed their initial motivations for entering the field and their career ambitions. Some entered corrections because they lacked alternative options for employment, others as a stepping stone for a different justice-oriented occupation such as policing or parole. Many were motivated by the income and benefits or had a specific vocational self-identity toward correctional work. However, nearly all respondents indicated that, over time, they no longer felt their rate of pay justly reflected the demands of the occupation, thus factors motivating field entry fail to materialize in ways that sustain long-term employee retention. Practical implications CO recruitment should target individuals with interest in the field of justice more broadly. Occupational demands of the CO occupation need to be addressed to reduce turnover. Recruitment should focus not only on new graduates but also be directed toward more mature individuals. The impact of resource intensive interview processes for candidates on turnover rates needs to be evaluated. Originality/value The authors’ focus on COs with employment experience in provincial and territorial correctional facilities, rather than federal, is justified by the lack of research on and the high rate of CO turnover in such facilities. After exploring the qualitative responses of officers, clear themes emerged that align well with natural socio-ecological systems: the self, family and community, and wider society.

As social media has shifted from traditional to modern technical patterns, organizations have sought to take advantage of the presence of beneficiaries on social networks. They may serve customers, display ads, and respond to queries on social media accounts such as Twitter. The implementation of these services required a scientific study considering: (1) how to attract beneficiaries, (2) attraction times, and (3) measurement of the impact of that attraction. This study aimed to address these three points through an analysis of data from an educational organization’s Twitter account. We found that the interaction rates with tweets increased in the evening, and we identified the best times for the organization to reach more followers. We examined five months of data (an entire semester), analyzing thousands of tweets and their associated impressions, types of responses, integration ratio, and account usage. We also discovered that the quality of tweets had an impact on attracting new followers, particularly when tweeting media such as photos, videos, and other types of content. Finally, this research serves as a resource for educational organizations on new ways to publish accounts and foster organizational growth through electronic media.

Entering the transition period, some began to congregate to the mosque/musholla, and when PPKM was implemented, some of them returned to their homes. Meanwhile, for Friday prayers and holidays, some are still looking for a mosque/mushola. Breaking together, friendship and recitation tend to decrease, except online via Zoom and Google Meet or social media such as WAG and Facebook. In the midst of limitations, the infaq tradition tends to persist and some have even increased. Likewise, feelings of religiosity and levels of personal piety are acknowledged to have increased after the pandemic.

Universities, and units within, use social media to communicate with their respective publics, for varying reasons, namely to promote interest in a page and the related 'owner', to promote events and opportunities, to 'educate', and create awareness. Experience and anecdotal evidence indicate that visitors to Facebook pages find certain posts more interesting than others, which reality administrators of Facebook pages must contend with. The purpose of the study reported on is to determine the impact of a series of posts to determine, which attract the most interest. The research method can best be described as experimental in that posts pertaining to different subjects were undertaken periodically. Posts were constrained to construction, tertiary construction management education, and related issues such as conferences. The salient findings include that graduation publicity in the form of photos, predominates, followed by project related photos, and events in the form of conferences, presentations, and summits in terms of interest. Based upon the findings it can be concluded that certain posts are of greater interest than others. It is recommended that Facebook page statistics be regularly reviewed to determine the impact and relevance of posts. Facebook page administrators must evolve a 'cocktail' of posts to optimize the impact of their pages, which includes promoting interest in a page and the related 'owner'.
