Abstract

The proliferation of internet connectivity has fundamentally transformed social, academic, and recreational behaviors among university students worldwide. This study investigates the nature of internet consumption patterns and their multifaceted influence on emotional and cognitive well-being among young university students. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 646 undergraduate students (mean age = 20.6 years, SD = 1.82) recruited from four major Afghanistan universities. Validated instruments were administered, including the Warwick–Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), and a researcher-developed Internet Usage Pattern Inventory (IUPI). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, one-way ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results demonstrated that 61.1% of participants exceeded six hours of daily internet use, primarily for social media and entertainment. Significant negative correlations were found between daily usage duration and emotional well-being (r = −0.451, p < .001), cognitive concentration (r = −0.389, p < .001), and academic GPA (r = −0.389, p < .001). Conversely, purposeful educational use was positively associated with academic outcomes (β = +.214, p < .001). Nighttime screen exposure emerged as a critical mediator of sleep quality and subsequent mood disturbance. The regression model accounted for 46.7% of variance in well-being scores (R² = 0.467, F(5, 640) = 112.4, p < .001). These findings underscore the urgency of developing digital literacy interventions and university-level policies to cultivate healthier, more intentional internet consumption habits among young adults

Abstract

Text search systems play an important role in modern information retrieval by providing fast and efficient access to digital information. However, despite the rapid development of digital technologies, these systems often encounter challenges when processing incomplete, misspelled, or orthographically inconsistent queries, particularly in low-resource languages such as Dari. The existence of spelling variations and limited linguistic resources reduces retrieval accuracy and negatively affects search performance. Information Retrieval (IR), as an important branch of Natural Language Processing (NLP), aims to retrieve accurate information from large text collections. Nevertheless, IR systems still face difficulties in low-resource languages due to limited datasets, insufficient computational resources, and the lack of language-specific retrieval tools. Therefore, improving search accuracy in the Dari language remains an important research challenge. This study aims to enhance text retrieval performance using the combination of n-gram analysis and Fuzzy Matching techniques. To achieve this objective, a mini search system was designed to process user queries and suggest the closest matching word whenever incomplete or misspelled inputs are detected. A Dari text dataset was collected and prepared through preprocessing, tokenization, and unique-word extraction. Fuzzy Matching was applied to measure similarity between the user query and dataset words, while n-gram analysis was used to examine structural similarity between words. The experimental findings demonstrated that the proposed mini search system successfully identified several incomplete and misspelled Dari words with relatively high similarity scores. These findings indicate that combining n-gram analysis with Fuzzy Matching can improve typo-tolerant text retrieval in low-resource languages such as Dari and provide a practical foundation for future research on Dari information retrieval systems.
