IGI Global
Modern technology, which includes 5G/6G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), is critical for dealing with public health emergencies, as the COVID-19 pandemic has proven. Thanks to their ability to accumulate and examine statistics in real time, those technologies have played a key role in improving COVID-19 screening, monitoring, and therapy. The necessity of records protection is highlighted by the dependence on IoT gadgets, though, specifically in light of the potentially fatal threats linked to any flaws in these systems. The stability of society and national safety rely upon IoT tool protection, no longer merely the protection of private records. In order to lessen the pandemic's consequences, specifically in closely populated metropolitan areas, researchers from all around the world are concentrating on developing safe Internet of Things options. Assessing present packages, recognizing any protection dangers, and strengthening safeguards are all a part of this endeavour. Improving IoT protection frameworks is essential as those technologies are important to handling pandemics, and this underscores the need for continuous studies and development to defend public fitness from gift and upcoming threats.


Artificial Intelligence and the Integration of Industrial Revolution 6.0 in Ethnomusicology: Demands, Interventions, and Implications
Glinore S. Morales, Mary Leigh Ann C. Perez, and Almighty C. Tabuena
Musicologist
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.

Almighty Cortezo TABUENA and Elena Garcia VILLAREAL
Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education
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.
