Countering cyber extremism is a crucial challenge in the digital age. Social media algorithms, if designed and used properly, have the potential to be a powerful tool in this fight, development of technological solutions that can make social networks a safer and healthier space for all users. this study mainly aims to provide a comprehensive view of the role played by the algorithms of social networking sites in countering electronic extremism, and clarifying the expected ease of use by programmers in limiting the dissemination of extremist data. Additionally, to analyzing the intended benefit in controlling and organizing digital content for users from all societal groups. Through the systematic review tool, a variety of previous literature related to the applications of algorithms in the field of online radicalization reduction was evaluated. Algorithms use machine learning and analysis of text and images to detect content that may be harmful, hateful, or call for violence. Posts, comments, photos and videos are analyzed to detect any signs of extremism. Algorithms also contribute to enhancing content that promotes positive values, tolerance and understanding between individuals, which reduces the impact of extremist content. Algorithms are also constantly updated to be able to discover new methods used by extremists to spread their ideas and avoid detection. The results indicate that it is possible to make the most of these algorithms and use them to enhance electronic security and reduce digital threats.
As cities continue to face the increasing demands of urban transportation and the need for sustainable mobility solutions, the integration of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) with smart city infrastructure emerges as a promising approach. This paper presents a novel framework for integrating ITS with smart city infrastructure, aiming to address the challenges of urban transportation and promote sustainable mobility. The framework is developed through a comprehensive literature review, case studies, and stakeholder interviews, providing significant insights into the integration process. Our research outlines the key components of smart city infrastructure that can be integrated with ITS, highlights the benefits of integration, and identifies the challenges and barriers that need to be addressed. Additionally, we propose and apply evaluation methods to assess the effectiveness of ITS integration with smart city infrastructure. The results demonstrate the novelty and significance of this framework, as it significantly reduces traffic congestion, improves air quality, and enhances citizen satisfaction. This paper contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive approach to integrating ITS with smart city infrastructure, offering a transformative solution for urban transportation challenges.
Great country craftsmen are skilled craftsmen who strive for the prosperity and prosperity of the country and the well-being of the people in important positions related to the national economy and people's livelihood. The key to cultivating craftsmen in major countries lies in the Party. However, in a vocational undergraduate survey, it was found that the Party's political, ideological, organizational, work style, and institutional leadership role was not well played in the process of cultivating craftsmen in major countries. To this end, we should focus on reflecting the "two safeguards" throughout the entire process of cultivating craftsmen in major countries, and strengthen the Party's comprehensive leadership over the cultivation of craftsmen in major countries; We should adhere to using the Party's innovative theory to guide the practice of cultivating great country craftsmen, and integrate ideological and political work throughout the cultivation of great country craftsmen, in order to promote the construction of grassroots party organizations with high quality, and play a leading role in cultivating craftsmen in major countries; we should also take the lead in actively researching and solving problems, and promote reform, innovation, and development, so as to improve the institutional system for leading the cultivation of craftsmen in major countries through party building, and enhance the institutional execution ability of party members and members.
The Circular Economy (CE) concept has been recognized as the core strategy that can support sustainable business through technological innovation that enables CE transition by focusing on resource savings. This case study conducts research on business strategy in achieving CE transition in an agroindustry company, by performing SWOT analysis to assess internal and external factors. The SWOT model provides valuable results that an effective strategy could maximize strengths and opportunities, minimize weaknesses and threats in business by boosting circularity on business-critical factors. The CE adoption by agroindustry company mostly focuses on efficient organic waste management, energy-efficient production, and production process. This study case reveals that while technology plays a significant role in advancing CE, there is still a significant need to pay attention to the social aspect in supporting the creation of worker-owned cooperatives by creating space for employee involvement in finding innovations and adopting technology in business transition into CE process. Social innovation through the involvement of employees by sharing CE vision, synergizing and optimizing internal potential, and building up the green innovation culture has created an internal conducive climate to put CE principle into practice. Further result shows that a labor-intensive company’s business strategy prioritizes employment and job security over maximizing profits, which directly leads to the economic welfare and social protection of the business operation that makes an inclusive business.
This study explores the determinants of political participation among Thai youth, focusing on the roles of political interest, knowledge, and efficacy. Employing stratified random sampling, data were collected from 191 university students in Bangkok. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) via Smart PLS was utilized to test hypotheses regarding the direct and mediating effects of political interest and knowledge on participation, highlighting the mediating role of political efficacy. The findings indicate that political efficacy significantly enhances participation, while political interest boosts knowledge significantly but does not directly influence efficacy. Furthermore, political knowledge positively affects efficacy but not participation directly. Notably, the indirect effects of political interest on participation through efficacy alone are insignificant, but the pathways from interest to participation through both knowledge and efficacy, and from knowledge to participation through efficacy, are significant. These results elucidate the complex interactions between political interest, knowledge, and efficacy in shaping the political engagement of Thai youth.
This paper investigates the evolving clustering and historical progression of “Asian regionalisms” concerning their involvement in multilateral treaties deposited in the United Nations system. We employ criteria such as geographic proximity, historical connections, cultural affinities, and economic interdependencies to identify twenty-eight candidate countries from East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Central Asia for this empirical testing. Using a social network analysis approach, we model the network of these twenty-eight Asian state actors alongside 600 major treaties from the United Nations system, identifying clusters among Asian states by assessing similarities in their treaty participation behavior. Specifically, we observe dynamic changes in these clusters across three key historical eras: Post-war reconstruction and transformation (1945–1968), Cold War tensions and global transformations (1969–1989), and post-Cold War era and globalization (1990–present). Employing the Louvain cluster detection algorithm, the results reveal the evolution in cluster numbers and changes in membership status throughout the world timeline. The results also identify the current situation of six distinct Asian clusters based on states’ inclinations to engage or abstain from multilateral treaties across six policy domains. These findings provide a foundation for further research on the trajectories of Asian regionalisms amidst evolving global dynamics and offer insights into potential alliances, cooperation, or conflicts within the region.
