Lack of student interest in learning mathematics is a scourge that needs immediate action. In this study, researchers used the media geoboard and rubber bands as a tool to increase interest in learning. The study was conducted with Classroom Action Research which was successfully completed in two cycles. The results of this study are increased student interest in mathematics before taking action only 12 students, after cycles I and II, made 20 students interested in a total of 22 students. Increasing learning outcomes and concept understanding was very good. At the end of the action in the second cycle it was found that all students had understood the concept of calculating area and circumference of rectangular and triangular shapes.

<p><em>Technological developments bring about major changes to communication patterns, including in the world of education. Compared to before, now students consisting of generation Z are more interested in delivering dynamic materials that can be accessed from anywhere. Responding to these challenges, the Hindu-based Dwijendra Denpasar High School (SMA) seeks to optimize the distribution of religious messages through the use of communication media. This study aims to analyze how far the communication media can play a role in improving students' sraddha bhakti. Researchers used three theories, namely Agenda Setting, Mathematical Communication, and Constructivism. This type of research is qualitative descriptive with a sociological approach. The research subjects were the school as communicators and students as communicants. Methods of data collection through participatory observation, structured interviews, document studies, literature studies, and online searches. The results showed that communication media consisting of Dwijendra Community Radio, audio-visual media, and Learning Management System (LMS) had an important role in the distribution of information related to sraddha bhakti. The media has advantages in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, concrete, and motivation. Barriers that arise in the role of communication media consist of technical barriers which include facilities and infrastructure, semantic barriers that include message content, and human barriers that arise from communication actors. The strategies applied by the school to improve the role of communication media include mapping problems, taking action on obstacles that occur, and optimizing the role of communication media using redundancy, canalizing, informative, educational, coercive, and persuasive methods. The evaluation shows that the role of communication media has positive implications for increasing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes of Sraddha Bhakti.</em></p>

The research method used in this research is descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach and constructivism paradigm. The results of his research are digital PR TSB Mosque successfully implemented four stages in the concept of four steps of PR namely, (1) Fact finding is done by analyzing the situation, analyzing the target audience and analyzing the media. (2). Planning: planning the goals to be achieved and making tactical planning. (3). Taking action and communication: dividing the type of content according to Instagram features, following up the content of the study to the organizer community, crosschecking content, creating accidental content, making posting strategies on Instagram and performing posting intensity and content packaging. (4). Evaluation: determine assessment indicators and make monthly reports. Digital PR management in packaging da'wah content on the Instagram account of the Trans Studio Bandung Mosque also increases the congregation who attend the presentation or event held at TSB Mosque

Abstract. When we hear stories of distant humanitarian crises, we often feel sympathy for victims, but may stop short of taking action to help. Past research indicates that media portrayals of distant suffering can promote helping behavior by eliciting sympathy, while those that prompt a more rational response tend to decrease helping behavior by undermining sympathy. The authors used an online experiment to test whether certain media frames could promote helping behavior through a more rational, rather than emotional, pathway. The study tested whether framing distant suffering as either solvable or unsolvable might promote helping behavior if a rational evaluation of a crisis leads one to determine that help is efficacious in solving the problem. Survey respondents were randomly assigned to read one of three messages: a high solvability message, a low solvability message, or a control message. Contrary to expectations, both low solvability and high solvability conditions increased participants’ intentions to help. The results suggest that this is because framing problems as unsolvable drives up sympathy, thus promoting willingness to help, while framing problems as solvable drives up perceived efficacy, also promoting willingness to help. The authors conclude that, in contrast to earlier studies, and to the assumptions of many of those working in media, emphasizing rationality can promote helping behavior if audiences rationally interpret the problem as solvable. Implications of the findings for ethically portraying distant suffering in the media are discussed.

Advancements in state of the art high density Head/Disk retrieval systems has increased the demand for sophisticated failure analysis methods. From 1968 to 1974 the emphasis was on the number of tracks per inch. (TPI) ranging from 100 to 400 as summarized in Table 1. This emphasis shifted with the increase in densities to include the number of bits per inch (BPI). A bit is formed by magnetizing the Fe203 particles of the media in one direction and allowing magnetic heads to recognize specific data patterns. From 1977 to 1986 the tracks per inch increased from 470 to 1400 corresponding to an increase from 6300 to 10,800 bits per inch respectively. Due to the reduction in the bit and track sizes, build and operating environments of systems have become critical factors in media reliability.Using the Ferrofluid pattern developing technique, the scanning electron microscope can be a valuable diagnostic tool in the examination of failure sites on disks.

The right to self-determination is central to the current debate on rational suicide in old age. The goal of this exploratory study was to assess the presence of self-determination in suicidal institutionalized elderly persons. Eleven elderly persons with serious suicidal ideations were matched according to age, sex, and civil status with 11 nonsuicidal persons. The results indicated that suicidal persons did not differ from nonsuicidal persons in level of self-determination. There was, however, a significant difference between groups on the social subscale. Suicidal elderly persons did not seem to take others into account when making a decision or taking action. The results are discussed from a suicide-prevention perspective.

Summary: The body of evidence suggests that there is a causal association between nonfictional media reporting of suicide (in newspapers, on television, and in books) and actual suicide, and that there may be one between fictional media portrayal (in film and television, in music, and in plays) and actual suicide. This finding has been explained by social learning theory. The majority of studies upon which this finding is based fall into the media “effects tradition,” which has been criticized for its positivist-like approach that fails to take into account of media content or the capacity of audiences to make meaning out of messages. A cultural studies approach that relies on discourse and frame analyses to explore meanings, and that qualitatively examines the multiple meanings that audiences give to media messages, could complement the effects tradition. Together, these approaches have the potential to clarify the notion of what constitutes responsible reporting of suicide, and to broaden the framework for evaluating media performance.
