Abstract

The global health crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has changed the dynamics of political communication in various countries. Governments around the world are faced with unprecedented communications challenges, where rapid and effective decisions are urgently needed to address the spread of the virus. However, the effectiveness of political communication is often hampered by lack of information, misunderstanding and public distrust. This research aims to analyze how the government communicates with the public during a health crisis and how the public responds to this communication. The primary goal is to identify effective strategies and uncover communication gaps that can serve as valuable lessons for future crises. The method used in this research is content analysis from various news sources, government reports and social media. In addition, respondents were surveyed to measure public perceptions and responses to government communications. The research results show significant variation in the effectiveness of communication strategies between countries. Countries with open, transparent and consistent communication tend to experience higher levels of public compliance and more controlled spread of the virus. Meanwhile, countries with sporadic and ambiguous communications have had difficulty managing the pandemic and faced more excellent public resistance. This research concludes that success in managing a health crisis depends not only on the policies taken but also on how the government communicates with the public. Transparency, consistency and continuity in communications have proven critical in building public trust and supporting pandemic mitigation efforts. This research provides insights that can help policymakers improve communication strategies in the future.

Abstract

Background. Since the 15th century AD, the course of human civilization has been clear, with Western civilization surpassing its Islamic counterpart.  Even today, the strides made by Western civilization continue to be icons of global progress. Purpose. The roots of this civilization can be traced back to Europe, where over the course of six centuries, a series of transformative events took place, including the Renaissance, Industrial Revolution, Aufklarung, and French Revolution. Method. Muslims achieved significant progress during their classical period after a centuries-long process.  Therefore, it is not surprising that Europe has achieved great progress in politics, culture and technological advancement, as it has had access to this knowledge for a long period of time. Results. When comparing Western and Islamic civilizations, it is important to note that Islamic civilization reached great heights during its classical period. Conclusion. In the classical era, Western civilization teetered on the brink of darkness, plunging many Europeans into an identity crisis.  Meanwhile, Islamic civilization flourished, and Europeans eagerly drew knowledge from its teachings. The 14th to 15th centuries ushered in a period of progress and growth for Western civilization, which influenced other cultures as well.  Today, after more than five centuries, Western civilization maintains its dominant position not only over Islamic and Eastern civilizations, but also other civilizations. The 14th to 15th century Renaissance.

Abstract

Background: With the technological landscape in education shifting rapidly, Virtual Reality presents a novel approach to practical skill development, particularly in mechanical engineering. This study explores the potential of Virtual Reality to enhance the learning of specific mechanical skills, such as Mechanical Skills, which are crucial in the increasingly automated industry. The main objective of this research was to assess the effectiveness of Virtual Reality technology in teaching mechanical skills compared to traditional hands-on methods. The study employed a quasi-experimental design involving 100 mechanical engineering students from two universities. Using conventional training methods, which included [insert specific methods], participants were randomly assigned to a VIRTUAL REALITY training group and a control group. Both groups were tested on their ability to perform specific mechanical tasks, such as [insert specific tasks], before and after the training sessions. The Virtual Reality group demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in performance accuracy and speed compared to the control group. Post-study surveys also indicated higher satisfaction and engagement levels among the Virtual Reality group. The findings suggest that Virtual Reality technology can significantly enhance the learning of mechanical skills, offering a more effective and engaging approach than traditional methods. The potential of Virtual Reality to revolutionize mechanical engineering education is inspiring, offering a new and exciting way to teach and acquire practical skills.

Abstract

The interaction between light and matter is a fundamental topic in physics that has broad implications for developing new technologies. With the development of nanotechnology and photonics, a deeper understanding of how light can be affected by and affect matter at the micro and nano scales has become important. This research aims to explore and characterize the interaction of light with matter under various experimental and theoretical conditions to reveal new phenomena that can be exploited in future technologies, such as in the development of quantum computers, advanced sensors, and optical communication systems. This research uses a combination of experimental methods and computer simulation. The experiments were carried out using advanced spectroscopy and microscopy techniques to observe interactions at the atomic and molecular levels. Computer simulations are used to model interactions and predict the behavior of materials under the influence of different light. The results show that by manipulating the structure of materials at the nanoscale, we can significantly change the way materials interact with light. This includes creating meta-material effects not found in nature, which allow the control of light in a highly efficient and selective manner. This study's conclusions confirm that the potential for controlling and exploiting light in technological applications has been substantially expanded through high-precision manipulation of materials at the nanoscale. These findings pave the way for the development of various advanced technological applications that are more efficient and effective, providing a strong foundation for future technological innovations that rely on the interaction of light and matter.
