The study was conducted through psycho-educational group counseling involving five respondents aged between 18 and 22 years. The research methodology was qualitative, using a case study design and observations. Data for this study was collected through interview sessions during four session face-to-face counseling group sessions. Data analysis was carried out using a thematic process to generate themes. The study findings revealed three main themes, which the factors, effects, and measures. The factors influencing online gaming addiction are following current trends and peer pressure, using it as an emotional release, and being drawn to the sophistication of electronic games. Online gaming addiction has a significant impact on the decline in students' academic performance, and there are several consequences of addiction, including feeling isolated, a lack of social interaction and task completion, and increased procrastination due to gaming addiction. Measures to address online gaming addiction include creating a daily task schedule, completing assignments early, studying at the library, hiding downloaded games in rarely opened folders, and participating in uniform activities or sports. For future studies, researchers can examine the extent to which the use of online games can provide benefits in the context of learning if used optimally.","PeriodicalId":508750,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"1 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141385957","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}

This study is dedicated to profoundly analysing the close relationship between the musical elements of Suzhou Pingtan and the formation of cultural identity. Through a detailed analysis of core aspects such as melody, lyrics, performance style, and cultural context, we explore how Suzhou Pingtan symbolically shapes and reflects the Suzhou region's unique cultural identity and values. Specifically, this research will examine how musical elements such as scales, instrumental, vocal styles and narrative content jointly promote the construction and inheritance of cultural identity in Suzhou Pingtan. Through an in-depth study of this musical tradition, we aim to enhance understanding of the dynamic interplay between music, culture and identity, thereby revealing how Suzhou Pingtan is a carrier of culture in history, representing and passing down the local cultural values, traditions and collective memories.","PeriodicalId":508750,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"125 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387410","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}

A robust identity management system is crucial for delivering social and economic services effectively. This study evaluated the operational effectiveness of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) and provided recommendations for improvement. Data was collected using a self-administered survey and open-ended interviews. Seventy-two participants responded to the survey, while ten individuals, including both NIMC staff and clients, were interviewed. The survey responses were analyzed using statistical tools. Results indicated widespread dissatisfaction with the current operational state and effectiveness of the NIMC. Key challenges identified included bribery, corruption, and inefficient bureaucracy. To address these issues, the study recommends reorienting NIMC staff in client management, enhancing collaboration with the National Population Commission (NPC) and the National Electoral Commission (NIEC) for data synergy, and adopting up-to-date digital technology for identity enrollment and management amongst others. However, it was also recommended that further studies in this area can explore digital technologies NIMC can adopt for identity management to reduce inefficiencies in its operations.","PeriodicalId":508750,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences","volume":"38 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141387685","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}
