Abstract

Islamic tourism has emerged as a rapidly growing sector within the global travel industry, driven by increasing demand for Shariah-compliant services and culturally sensitive travel experiences. Effective public relations (PR) strategies play a crucial role in promoting Islamic tourism by shaping perceptions, enhancing destination branding, and facilitating engagement with Muslim travelers. The integration of PR efforts into Islamic tourism marketing ensures that destinations effectively communicate their adherence to Islamic values while maintaining global appeal. Understanding how PR contributes to the development and promotion of Islamic tourism is essential for creating sustainable and competitive tourism strategies. This study aims to analyze the role of PR in positioning Islamic tourism destinations and fostering positive stakeholder engagement. A qualitative research design is employed, incorporating content analysis of tourism campaigns, interviews with PR professionals, and case studies of successful Islamic tourism destinations. Findings reveal that strategic media engagement, digital PR campaigns, and community-driven storytelling significantly influence the visibility and attractiveness of Islamic tourism destinations. Social media platforms and influencer collaborations emerge as effective tools for shaping travel narratives and enhancing tourist engagement. The study concludes that public relations efforts must integrate Islamic cultural elements with modern communication techniques to successfully promote Islamic tourism.

Abstract

Background. The integration of technology in education has become increasingly essential for enhancing learning experiences, yet the successful use of technology in teaching relies heavily on teachers’ digital literacy. Digital literacy refers to the ability to use, understand, and evaluate digital tools effectively, and it has been identified as a critical factor influencing the adoption and implementation of technology in the classroom. Purpose. This study investigates the relationship between teachers’ digital literacy and their use of technology in teaching practices. The primary objective is to assess how teachers’ proficiency in digital tools impacts their incorporation of technology into the learning environment. Method. A quantitative research design was employed, using surveys to collect data from 200 teachers across various educational institutions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data, revealing a positive correlation between digital literacy and the frequency and effectiveness of technology use in the classroom. Results. The findings suggest that teachers with higher levels of digital literacy are more likely to utilize technology in diverse and innovative ways to support student learning. Conclusion. In conclusion, enhancing teachers’ digital literacy is crucial for optimizing the integration of technology in education, thus contributing to more effective and engaging learning experiences.

Abstract

Social isolation is a significant and modifiable risk factor for accelerated cognitive decline and dementia in aging populations. Traditional methods for detecting cognitive changes, such as clinical screenings, are often infrequent and fail to capture the subtle, early behavioral shifts that precede a formal diagnosis. This study aimed to develop and validate an artificial intelligence model designed for the early detection of cognitive decline by passively monitoring behavioral and vocal biomarkers of social isolation in older adults living independently. A 24-month, prospective longitudinal study was conducted with a cohort of 200 community-dwelling adults aged 70 and older. A suite of unobtrusive in-home sensors was used to passively collect data on movement patterns, social communication (frequency and duration of conversations), and computer/phone usage. The AI-powered system identified individuals who would later show clinically significant cognitive decline with an accuracy of 91% and a lead time of approximately 7 months before formal assessment. The model successfully distinguished between simple loneliness and the specific behavioral patterns of social withdrawal associated with cognitive impairment. AI-powered passive monitoring systems are a highly effective and ecologically valid tool for the pre-clinical detection of cognitive decline linked to social isolation.
