This paper focuses on the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Industrial Revolution 6.0 in ethnomusicology, which is the study of music from diverse cultures. The challenges facing researchers in ethnomusicology necessitate the use of AI, which can aid in analyzing, transcribing, and preserving musical traditions. Furthermore, AI can be utilized to generate new musical compositions that integrate elements from various musical traditions. Meanwhile, the Industrial Revolution 6.0 technologies, such as AI, can facilitate the preservation and distribution of musical traditions, cross-cultural understanding, and new forms of music education through virtual reality and immersive experiences. However, the integration of these technologies also raises concerns about cultural exploitation and the authenticity of musical traditions. This study aims to examine the demands, interventions, and implications of AI and Industrial Revolution 6.0 in ethnomusicology, emphasizing the need for a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach that addresses ethical considerations, handles bias and accuracy, and balances AI with traditional methods of music analysis and interpretation. Ultimately, the study suggests that practitioners and researchers must approach the demands of AI and Industrial Revolution 6.0 with caution, consideration, and a spirit of collaboration in order to realize their potential advantages for ethnomusicology while avoiding ethical and cultural pitfalls.

This study examines the academic field of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AI-ED) by examining the publications and indexed documents in Scopus from 2010 to 2023. Consequently, we examined the publishing trends, exemplary articles, and the most engaged participants and funding institutions in the domain of AI-ED research. A bibliometric analysis was performed to examine the network of co-authorships, keywords, and citations in the domain of AIED research. The Scopus search resulted in the discovery of 10,474 published documents on AI-ED. Additionally, trends analysis indicated a significant increase of over 3,000% in publications between 2010 and 2023. Conference papers are the most often utilized document type, including 6757 publications or $64.5 \\%$ of the overall amount. The ACM International Conference Proceeding Series is the primary source for published materials, accounting for 675 publications or $6.44 \\%$ of the total publications on the topic. The most prolific researchers in the field of AI-ED are Breazeal, C and Chai C.S, each having published 18 documents. Additionally, the two institutions that have produced the highest number of published documents are Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and the University of NC State University (NCSU). The output of the affiliations active in the topic is primarily attributed to the funders, specifically the National Science Foundation, which is the leading funding institution based in the United States and has contributed to 354 publications. An analysis of keyword co-occurrence revealed 6 main study areas that cover the essential tools, theories, methodologies, and socioeconomic and financial aspects of artificial intelligence in education (AIED). Future research in the field of artificial intelligence in education will focus on employing sophisticated deep learning, machine learning, and neural network algorithms to precisely predict students’ learning patterns.

Despite the promising outcome of modular distance learning, its implementation is challenging. Thus, this study aimed to examine the usefulness and challenges of the implemented clustered self-directed learning modules in entrepreneurship for senior high school distance learning amidst the emerging pandemic using the descriptive-survey research method. This study was conducted at Espiritu Santo Parochial School of Manila, Inc., during the school year 2021–2022, among Grade 12 students using a stratified proportional random sampling technique. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods of analyzing the data, including descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. As a result, all the modules were inferred to be very effective and very useful in terms of their usefulness for distance learning. On the other hand, there were six emergent themes from twenty-five challenges, as follows: (a) difficulties and limitations in theoretical and practical processes; (b) concerns about time constraints and academic workloads; (c) technical issues in learning modules; (d) problems with communication, lessons, and instructions; (e) issues with online learning, connectivity, and learning management systems; and (f) external and personal challenges as a student. These challenges were the basis in framing the recommendations of the students in addressing the aforementioned emergent themes.

Using documents that were published and indexed in Scopus between 2010 and 2021, this study assesses the state of research on the impact of social media marketing on consumer behavior (SMM-CB). As a result, the benchmark publications and publication patterns on SMM-CB research were studied. The network of co-authorships, keywords, and citations for SMM-CB study was evaluated by scientometric analysis. A Scopus search turned up 594 published documents on SMM-CBA, but a trends study of articles from 2010 to 2021 revealed a > 3,01% rise. Articles (346, or 58.2% of all publications, TP) and the Journal of Research in Interaction Marketing (34, or 5.72% of all publications, TP) are the favored document format and journal, respectively. The benchmark article has 1,166 citations and is titled “Networked narratives: Understanding word-of-mouth marketing in online groups.” The most prolific author is Charles F. Hofacker, and Florida State University and the University of Nevada, Las Vegas are the top institutions of higher learning. In particular, in the United States, India, and the United Kingdom, national research policies and economic interests are a major source of interest. Five important research hotspots were identified through the co-occurrence of keywords that explain the fundamental tools, theories, techniques, socioeconomic dynamics, and financial dynamics of SMM on CB. Future research will include the most prolific stakeholders, funding organizations and research hotspots & themes on SMM-CB research.

Firefly Algorithm (FA) mimics firefly behavior by flashing and attracts them. Firefly's global search mobility is improved for dependable global optimization using chaotic maps in this work. Investigations of benchmark problems with chaotic maps are carried out in depth. The system uses eight separate chaotic maps to fine-tune the firefly's enticing movements. By using planned chaotic transmissions instead of fixed values, the new method beats classic firefly methods. According to statistical data and the success rates of FA, the new algorithms improve the solution's performance and the reliability of global optimality.

The primary objective of this study is to review and characterize research-based music assessments that might be used to guide and assist teachers and students in transforming their attitudes and perceptions, ability to express their ideas and concepts during the assessment process openly. This study employed descriptive and autoethnographic methods to elicit information about current conditions and practices through the library approach and literature review. The identified music assessment techniques were used to determine how well students comprehend important points in a session. It includes the Music Concept Memory Exercise and Instrumental and Vocal Schematic Processing for music lesson instructions and the Five-Letter Name Pitch Memory Test and Three-Chord Familiarization Assessment for basic instrumental music instructions. They are used as a core component deliberately designed to expose classroom teachers and prospective teachers to the essentials for effective instructional practices. Effective evaluation ensures that learners’ knowledge, understanding, and skills are transferred effectively in future contexts.
