Online Gambling Consumer Behavior: Addiction, Social Stigma, Psychological Distress, and Gender Differences
Full text linkThis study investigates the differences in online gambling addiction, psychological distress, and social stigma considerations between men and women. Furthermore, this study examines the moderating role of gender in the relationship between social stigma and online gambling addiction, and between addiction and psychological distress. This research involved 191 respondents, with 128 men and 63 women. Results showed that men have significantly higher levels of addiction, psychological distress, and consideration of social stigma compared to women. Social stigma has a significant positive effect on addiction, while addiction itself has a positive impact on psychological distress for both genders. However, gender does not moderate these relationships, suggesting that the mechanisms influencing addiction and psychological distress are universal across genders. This study emphasises the need for inclusive preventive interventions, particularly targeting young men, and social support-based and empathetic educational approaches to reduce addictive behaviors and mitigate the psychological consequences of online gambling
The Context of Distraction: Moderating Effects of Academic Discipline and Socioeconomic Status on Cell Phone Multitasking and GPA among Indian Undergraduates
Full text linkThis study investigated how cell phone multitasking (CPM) influences academic performance, measured by Grade Point Average (GPA), among Indian undergraduate students. A total of 476 students from a large private university in Northern India completed a structured survey assessing CPM frequency, socioeconomic status (SES), academic discipline, and institutional phone-use policies. Hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to examine the predictive relationship between CPM and GPA and to test the moderating effects of SES and academic discipline. Results indicated a significant negative association between CPM and GPA (ρ = –0.15, p 0.001), with students who multitasked more frequently exhibiting lower academic performance. In the final regression model, CPM emerged as a statistically significant but modest predictor of GPA (β = –0.06, p 0.05), explaining a small proportion of variance in academic outcomes (ΔR² = 0.035, total R² = 0.130). The effect size was small but significant (ηp² = 0.016, 95% CI [0.000002, 0.0106]). The negative association was stronger among STEM students (ρ = –0.20, p 0.001) and those from lower SES backgrounds (ρ = –0.25, p 0.001), suggesting that both cognitive load and socioeconomic constraints exacerbate the academic costs of multitasking. Furthermore, stricter institutional phone policies mitigated CPM’s adverse impact on GPA. These findings demonstrate that frequent multitasking with mobile phones hinders academic achievement, particularly among students facing higher cognitive demands or limited resources. The study underscores the importance of structured phone-use policies, targeted digital literacy programs, and equitable academic support to help students regulate digital distractions and enhance learning outcomes in higher education contexts
Community-Based Training for Pesantren Cadres in Producing Celery Extract Drinks to Support Hypertension Prevention
Full text link Non-communicable diseases are the leading cause of death globally, with hypertension being one of the most prevalent conditions characterized by elevated blood pressure above normal limits. In Sampang Regency, Madura, more than 15,000 hypertension cases were reported in 2022, reflecting significant public health concern. Poor health literacy, high-salt and high-fat dietary habits, and lack of physical activity contribute to the growing incidence. This community service program was conducted at Darussalam Al-Faisholiyah Islamic Boarding School in Sampang, aiming to improve the capacity of pesantren cadres in hypertension prevention through training on producing herbal drinks made from celery extract as a complementary therapy. The program included educational sessions on hypertension, hands-on practice in herbal drink preparation, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. Fifteen pesantren cadres actively participated in the activity. The results showed an increase in participants’ average knowledge scores from 7.4 to 8.4, indicating better understanding and practical skills. The program successfully enhanced health literacy, promoted healthy lifestyle awareness, and empowered the pesantren community to engage in preventive health practices. This initiative has the potential to be replicated in other pesantren to expand its preventive impact on hypertension, with continued mentoring and cadre monitoring recommended for sustainability

No full textAbstract. Building a solid team and effective leadership are key to entrepreneurial success, especially in vocational education environments such as SMK Al-Islah. Entrepreneurial success does not solely depend on brilliant ideas but also on the ability to form and manage teams effectively. Building a solid team requires a strategy for recruiting members with complementary competencies, as well as fostering a sustainable work culture and group collaboration. This approach not only enhances technical skills but also communication and conflict resolution abilities. Understanding strong entrepreneurial team management also prepares students to face social and economic challenges and cultivates a high level of social awareness. The community service programme at SMK Al-Islah Surabaya demonstrates an increase in students' understanding of leadership and team management concepts, as evidenced by improved post-test results and students' enthusiasm in discussions and practical projects. Practical training, such as creating organisational charts and job descriptions for a fictional company, significantly strengthens students' understanding of team management, self-development, and leadership. Through understanding self-leadership, building a solid team, the main functions of team management in running a business, and the main aspects of entrepreneurial leadership, students are expected to become economically competitive, socially conscious, and innovative entrepreneurs.
