Through focus group discussions and in-depth interviews, the qualitative research design involved 15 farmers from Bansalan, Davao del Sur, Philippines. The emerging themes revealed for experiences include satisfaction with relevant agricultural information learned, radio as a handy source of agricultural information, SOA motivating farmers to be responsible learners, hindrances like power interruptions affecting program listening, important agricultural information primarily obtained from SOA, and limitations of radio. On the use of information, two themes were revealed, which include information obtained that was practical and effective when applied and the use of new and helpful farming methods. Farmer students also shared their insights with the farming community which revealed that farming knowledge from SOA is worth sharing, and farming knowledge can also be shared with non-farmers. Suggestions for program improvement include time slot and duration modifications, incorporating marketing opportunities and strengthening agricultural extension support. Implications of the study findings are that the government continues to seek ways to enhance the program’s implementation. This could include improving radio signals throughout the country by funding the establishment of government-funded local radio stations, investing in increasing the number of agricultural extension workers in the field to assist in monitoring the application of learned technologies and providing necessary extension support to all SOA graduates, among others.","PeriodicalId":239920,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication and Media Science","volume":" 68","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141833422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study highlights the complexities surrounding these issues by analysing media reports, government notifications, and community press releases. Results underscore the crucial role of government neutrality in creating an environment conducive to dialogue, reconciliation, and peaceful resolution of grievances. By refraining from taking sides and actively promoting inclusive approaches to conflict resolution, the government can mitigate the risk of further escalation and promote long-term peace and stability in Manipur. The paper concludes by emphasising the importance of government neutrality as a foundational principle for building trust, fostering cooperation, and addressing the root causes of the Meitei-Kuki clash.","PeriodicalId":239920,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication and Media Science","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141833332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Logos are key visual representations of a brand's identity and play a crucial role in shaping consumer perceptions and establishing brand recognition. Understanding how Gestalt elements and design principles contribute to the effectiveness of logos and branding strategies is essential for marketers and designers. This research paper employs a comprehensive literature review approach, analyzing relevant studies, academic articles, and industry best practices to investigate the relationship between Gestalt principles, design principles, and their impact on logos and branding. The research explores how Gestalt principles, including proximity, similarity, closure, and figure-ground relationship, influence how individuals perceive and interpret logo designs. Additionally, the study examines the application of key design principles such as simplicity, balance, contrast, and hierarchy in creating visually appealing and effective logos. Through the analysis of multiple case studies, including prominent brands such as Mastercard, Audi, Olympic Games, BMW, Mercedes, Binance, Coca-Cola, Trust Wallet, Electronic Arts, IBM, and NBC, this research paper identifies common patterns and trends in the utilization of Gestalt elements and design principles in logo design and branding strategies. It uncovers the possibilities and limitations associated with incorporating these elements, highlighting the impact they have on brand recognition, differentiation, emotional connection, and consumer perception. The findings of this research contribute to the existing body of knowledge on logo design and branding, providing valuable insights for marketers, designers, and brand managers seeking to create effective logos that align with their brand's objectives. The research highlights the importance of considering Gestalt elements and design principles throughout the logo design process, emphasizing their potential to enhance brand identity, increase brand recall, and create a positive brand image in the minds of consumers .","PeriodicalId":239920,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication and Media Science","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127424151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study aims to understand the level of awareness among 202 respondents and its impact on fashion retailers and designers across 17 countries - the most coming from India, the UAE, France, the US, and the UK. Through a convenience and snowballing sampling methodology, a diverse group of individuals was examined, encompassing various age groups and backgrounds. The findings reveal a significant lack of awareness about adaptive fashion, with 66.3% of respondents being unfamiliar with the concept. This highlights the pressing need for increased promotion and education in the field. The study has two main implications: firstly, it emphasizes the urgency for the fashion industry to prioritize inclusivity by adapting to the unique clothing needs of PoDs, and secondly, it underscores the potential market opportunity in the adaptive apparel sector, estimated at $400 billion. By raising awareness and understanding, this research aims to inspire more retailers and designers to create adaptive fashion lines, expanding options and improving accessibility for PoDs while ameliorating from economic and social benefits of tapping into this market.","PeriodicalId":239920,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Communication and Media Science","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122138104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
