It focused on patient-healthcare-provider dynamics and found out how language and culture influenced healthcare communication within formal settings. Integrating ethnographic, sociolinguistic, and anthropological approaches, the study unveiled how language and culture impacted interactions and health-seeking behaviours in these centres. It revealed the roles of language and culture in understanding health information, healthcare provider-patient exchanges, and treatment adherence within the distinct sociolinguistic context of the Jukun. Using such qualitative techniques as interviews and observations in the health centres, the study captured the intricate verbal and nonverbal communication, specific cultural discourse patterns, and communication strategies used by patients and healthcare practitioners. Findings highlighted diverse cultural and linguistic methods employed by Jukuns, such as using proverbs, ironies, metaphors, and nonverbal cues, to express themselves in healthcare settings. The research showed that these methods could facilitate communication with familiar practitioners but might complicate interactions with those from different ethnic backgrounds. Ultimately, it offered crucial perspectives for refining healthcare provision, aligning with the precise linguistic and cultural contexts of the Jukun community within formal healthcare settings in Wukari and other parts of Jukunland. Based on the foregoing, the researchers recommended that health practitioners should make use of interpreters and familiarise themselves with the cultural and linguistic norms of their immediate communities for effective health discourse that would enhance quality healthcare delivery.","PeriodicalId":517508,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Media, Journalism and Communications","volume":"16 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140285645","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}

In response, researchers and practitioners have turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to develop innovative solutions for mitigating online risks. This systematic literature review explores the key applications, methodologies, benefits, limitations, ethical considerations, and future directions of AI in promoting social media safety and security. The review synthesizes findings from various scholarly articles spanning various disciplines, including computer science, engineering, and social sciences. The methodology involved searching academic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, IEEE Xplore, and Google Scholar using predefined search terms and inclusion criteria. The results reveal a diverse range of AI-driven approaches for addressing safety and security concerns on social media platforms, including enhanced threat detection, automated content moderation, and real-time response mechanisms. However, the deployment of AI in social media contexts also raises ethical challenges such as algorithm bias, privacy concerns, and lack of explain ability. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of ongoing research, collaboration, and ethical guidelines to maximize the benefits of AI while minimizing its potential risks. This review contributes to the growing body of literature on AI and social media by providing insights into current trends, challenges, and future directions in this rapidly evolving field.","PeriodicalId":517508,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Media, Journalism and Communications","volume":"3 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140396949","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}

We cannot dissociate ourselves from its hegemony. Also, we are influenced by what is transmitted across all categories. Advertising, a significant component of media content, occupies a substantial portion of social media platforms. Consequently, audiences are easily persuaded to purchase specific products. Through advertising on social media, it is straightforward to convey messages of gender role degradation and stereotypes concerning women, effectively convincing the audience. This article aims to illustrate the detrimental effects of advertising's targets on women. Social media is everywhere in our lives, and advertisements have a significant impact on our lives through the excessive use of social media. However, Social media advertisements frequently depict women negatively, which can lead to negative perceptions of women. This study has shown that social media advertisements negatively portray women, which is alarming. We should be aware of how these advertisements can influence our opinions and take steps to improve them. Ads that fairly and respectfully represent women can contribute to a more inclusive social media environment for all users, including women. It's important to acknowledge the influence of advertising and work toward improving the representation of women online.","PeriodicalId":517508,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Media, Journalism and Communications","volume":"10 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140285851","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}
