Summary: This study explores the acceptance and usage of TikTok among booktokers in generating and sharing content about books. Thirteen Latin American booktokers were interviewed, and the findings were analyzed based on the UTAUT2 theory. The results revealed several influential factors including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, habit, price value, and a newly identified category related to community and network generation.

Summary: There is consistent evidence that children can learn from screens, but learning from screens can be challenging due to cognitive distractions. This study examines the impact of seeing one's own image on the screen during a video conference book reading experience on children's learning and investigates the relationship between visual attention and learning outcomes. The results show that children in both conditions demonstrated learning above chance, and learning was positively associated with on-task visual attention and negatively associated with distracted attention. The study provides initial evidence that young children can learn from interactive online read aloud experiences, emphasizing the importance of minimizing distractions and supporting on-task attention for optimal learning outcomes.

Summary: The curricular integration of Media and Information Literacy (MIL) is crucial for cultivating informed, critical, and engaged citizens in contemporary society. The review findings suggest that the will of the political sphere and the activism of passionate teachers, civil society, and academia are key factors for promoting the introduction of MIL in formal education. Special attention should be given to the evaluation of MIL education policy to ensure its effectiveness and adaptability to emerging challenges in the media ecosystem.

Summary: Soil column experiments in both saturated and unsaturated conditions are widely used for practical and theoretical research in a variety of domains, including the assessment of transport models. This paper discusses the complex interactions between saturated/unsaturated porous media and the mechanisms of contaminant migration in column experiments. The modeling of contaminant transport in unsaturated and saturated groundwater zones is integrated and presented, and research on the coupling of related models with other modeling algorithms is presented.

Summary: Policy makers, managers, and academic researchers are increasingly concerned about the role of social media in spreading "Fake News". While research has focused on the implications of fake news for political communication, there is less focus on its impact on marketing and consumers. Understanding of fake news through a consumer lens is lacking, and an interdisciplinary systematic review of relevant literature identifies five themes explaining the phenomenon. A theoretical framework proposing relationships between themes and research propositions is suggested to guide future research in this area.
