Social media plays an important role in the spread of Islam around the world today and has been recognized for its use in the Islamic world. However, the use of social media in disseminating fatwas is still not widespread. Thus, this study aims to highlight previous studies related to the use of social media in the dissemination of fatwas and its impact on the acceptance of fatwas among the community. The results show that the use of social media in disseminating fatwa information and explanation of fatwas can increase the acceptance of fatwas among the Malaysian Muslim community. At the end of the study, the researchers suggested that more empirical studies could be done to confirm the relationship between the use of social media and the acceptance of fatwas among the Malaysian Muslim community

The objective of the present study is to explore the different facets of social media in detail. These facets form the base for the world of social media and can be referred to as the 7 Cs of social media. These seven Cs are - content, community, conversation, capital (social), culture, collaboration, and conversion respectively. With an enhanced understanding of all these Cs of social media, the study proposes a conceptual model depicting the relationship between these seven Cs and social media. Companies should analyze each of these Cs in detail and design their social media strategies accordingly. This will not only assure the efficient and effective use of social media but also will help managers to decide where and how to allot firm resources in a better fashion.</p>

Aim. The aim of this thesis is to present the impact of students exclusion (including SPEs) on their virtual behaviour in social media. Students with no special educational needs and those with SEN were taken into account. The relationship between exclusion of SPE and digitisation exclusion will be indicated . In addition, social exclusion in the family area was included. Methods: The analysis was based on statistical methods, such as: range, standard deviation, variance. Surveys were used. They were conducted on the Internet through the Facebook social portal on a national and global scale. Results: Respondents from around the world feel more excluded by the SPE than respondents in Poland. In contrast, respondents from the SPE use fewer social networking sites than in groups of computer players, both in Poland and worldwide. Conclusions: In Poland, SPE is not a barrier to communication with peers for most respondents, unlike global respondents. Respondents from the SPE spend less time on social portals because it absorbs their time devoted to learning, which can be an indicator of digital exclusion. Cognitive value: The originality of the research is to focus on introducing the global and Polish scale of the problem excluding students from SPE from the social media, which was calculated by the author’s method based on the indicator digital exclusion.

Abstract The public’s actions will likely have a significant effect on the course of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Human behavior is conditioned and shaped by information and perceptions of people. This study investigated the impact of risk perception on trust in government and self-efficacy. It examined whether the use of social media helps people adopt preventative actions during the pandemic. To test this hypothesis, data were gathered from 512 individuals (students and academicians) who were based in Malaysia during COVID-19. Our results suggested that risk perception had a significant effect on trust in government and self-efficacy. Moreover, these correlations were stronger when social media was used as a source for gathering information on COVID-19, and in some cases it even helped the user avoid being exposed to the virus. This study assessed the relationship between risk perception and the awareness gained from using social media during the pandemic and also highlighted how social media usage influences trust in government and self-efficacy.

Massive audience is available who are spending many hours a day using social media across the various platforms and are majorly involved in information processing, entertainment and social connection activities, it is not surprising that marketers have started utilising social media as a marketing channel. Companies now place considerable value on the way in which social media can be used to shape consumer’s brand/product perception and influence their buying decision.

In order to secure the continuous competitiveness of OTT content services such as YouTube and Netflix, content service SCM promoting the production and distribution of digital information materials is becoming increasingly important. However, previous studies on this are scarce. This study examines the causal relationship between customer engagement, customer response profitability, and service coordination costs from the perspective of a YouTuber, a content creation service provider. In particular, it examines the impact of customer response profitability, a quantitative indicator of customer response, on the use of social media that customers feel and on the relationship between customer engagement and service coordination costs. In this study, we surveyed a YouTuber in Korea, a service provider. SPSS 18, AMOS 20, and PROCESS Macro were used for statistical analysis and hypothesis testing. The analysis shows that the degree of customer engagement on the YouTube channel has a positive effect on customer response profitability and service coordination costs, and that customer response profitability negatively affects service coordination costs (the reduction of costs). The relationship between the customer response profitability and the degree of customer engagement could not be confirmed, but the relationship between customer engagement and the service coordination costs was confirmed. With this study, we contribute to the establishment of policies on the value co-creation framework from the service provider's perspective in content service SCM and on whether to invest in social media in content sourcing.

Diversity is a reality for the Indonesian nation, one form of diversity, namely religion. Religion is a guide from the creator of how humans can live in differences so as to create an orderly and harmonious life. However, the phenomenon that occurs is just the opposite where religion in fact makes someone to claim the truth of each religion. This certainly becomes a serious conflict for the Indonesian people considering that Indonesia is a plural country and should have an understanding of tolerance. Actually tolerance is not just a concept that must be understood but must be realized in attitudes and behaviors so that a harmony between religious people will be realized. Amid the current global developments, technological sophistication cannot be dammed so that people can easily receive information. Responding to this phenomenon if we especially as youths who basically have an important role in building inter-religious harmony cannot properly take advantage of the existence of social media, it will easily accept and even spread hoax issues, the impact of this will certainly damage the relationship between harmony religious people should be as young people as filtering and wise in the use of social media. Through social media, we as young people can do positive things as well, pour creative ideas to channel talents that we have such as making writings or images so that they can be enjoyed by others, communicating with distant friends or adding friends by joining a social group that later will add insight and foster harmony among others Keywords: Social Media, Harmony, YIPC

This article is based on the mediating effect of rule of law between control of corruption and economic growth in China. Many empirical studies have been conducted on the relationship of corruption with economic growth, income, democracy, education, employment rate and the likes. Most of them are based on linear relationship and evaluate the impact of corruption and corruption prevention on different economic and social variables. But the study under consideration is focusing upon the role of rule of law in control of corruption and economic growth in China. It puts forth a question that what kind of effects rule of law put on economic growth and corruption prevention. The top seven economies of the world have been selected and data has been extracted from the Worldwide Governance indicators of the World Bank. In order to address the above question, the study was divided into two major parts. First, the author has applied regression analyses to see the relationship among the economic growth, rule of law and corruption; and also the impact of economic growth and control of corruption on rule of law. Then, mediation analysis has been conducted to see if rule of law plays a role in control of corruption and economic growth. The results show that economic growth significantly improve the level of control of corruption and rule of law plays a partial intermediary role in the process of economic development to enhance the corruption prevention. Second, the author has discussed the condition of rule of law and corruption in the era of the current leader, Xi Jinping and before 2012.
