Abstract

In this era of social media, fear of missing out (FOMO) is a common phenomenon that occurs in society, including adolescents. FOMO is a psychological phenomenon in the form of anxiety and a sense of being left behind from social activities that develop in society. FOMO can become a psychological problem if it is excessive or persistent. Some experts argue that FOMO is not related to gender but rather to personal characteristics and other causes, including the frequency of social media use that has become an integral part of people's lives. This study investigates the influence of the frequency of social media use on the level of FOMO in adolescents in the social media era. The study used a quantitative approach with data collection through questionnaires to adolescents actively using social media. Researchers sent questionnaires online to respondents with the inclusion criteria of men and women actively using social media and willing to be research respondents. There were 300 respondents involved in this study. Based on the t-test statistical analysis with a significant level of 0.05, the researcher concluded that the frequency of social media use has an influence on FOMO. The results of this study are significant findings related to FOMO studies that are useful for various interests, especially for adolescent education, to prevent the negative impact of FOMO in the form of stress and emotional disorders.

Abstract

The large-scale and increasing use of transportation systems in various applications is expected to become an important component of communications networks beyond 5G and 6G in the next decade. To effectively support the massive deployment of transportation systems, reliable, secure, and cost-effective wireless connectivity is required. Communication networks are very important for vehicles that act as mobile user equipment. Although communications networks offer a promising way for cars to stay connected, it isn't easy to make transportation work well. This paper aims to present a new and interesting problem: the finding of the moving K-nearest neighbors (MKNNs), where each neighbor has a capacity limit. Specifically, considering a set of moving objects with different capacity constraints distributed in the road network, query objects with a certain load, find the optimal set of neighbors where the total available capacity is equal to or greater than the load of the query object, and the total travel time of the optimal set to reach the query object is minimized. This problem has significant applications in our lives. For example, it can help bus operating companies find other optimal bus trains in operation to move to the location of the damaged bus and transport its passengers to their destinations. In contrast, the total travel time of the optimal train is minimized. This paper uses previous research methods with a qualitative descriptive approach from sources that researchers found. The results of this research serve as material for proposing new algorithms that are effective for solving problems in real-time when using real data sets

Abstract

Due to the unavoidable spread of COVID-19 and even taking all substantial measures, the ratio of infected people and death rate seems to be out of control. In this increasingly worsening situation, the aim of this article is that it is important to take extraordinary measures to deal with this exceptional pandemic situation, and this is only possible if the actual ratio of the spread of the pandemic is known. Therefore, ingenious pandemic models are being developed to produce real-time infection statistics on an hourly, weekly, and monthly basis. This clever model leverages well-known data sets and when they will be applied to determine the status of three types of infections: the number of infected people, the time the pandemic started, and the time it ended. The time-based results are generated by conduction simulation in the Simpy Python framework, and the resulting results are characteristic of the real-time infection spread ratio. This shows when extraordinary measures for the infection ratio are necessary and when they become reasonable.
