“…The rapid advancement and integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) in various sectors has a great impact on all aspects of our life. The educational sector, mainly universities, is not an exception as ICT provided great opportunities to support the traditional face-to-face teaching process by delivering distance or online learning (Aboul-Dahab et al, 2021;Dhawan, 2020;Wei and Chou, 2020). Recently, in due to the rapidly advancement and progress in mobile technologies, this rise more opportunities to universities to employ mobile devises as new platform to facilitate the delivery of learning process and activities to their students, which is called m-learning (Agag, 2019;Badwelan et al, 2016;Lai, 2020).…”

PurposeThe COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in social isolation; nevertheless, universities will proceed throughout this trying period with the assistance of technology. As such, this paper seeks to develop a conceptual framework to investigate the continued intentions of students to use mobile learning during COVID-19 under different cultural contexts expanding upon the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) and the Expectation-Confirmation Model (ECM) under different cultural contexts.Design/methodology/approachThe suggested model is empirically tested with 1,206 students from different universities in three societies (i.e. Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the UK) using SEM/PLS.FindingsPerformance expectancy, satisfaction, social influence, facilitating conditions and instructors' competencies positively influence students' continued intentions to use mobile learning. In addition, the findings of the current research indicate that student's isolation negatively impact the continuous usage behavior. Furthermore, the findings indicated that a “one-size-fits-all” approach is insufficient in capturing the heterogeneity of students' intentions to use mobile learning across countries.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study that has been conducted to understand the main determinants of students' continued intentions to use mobile learning under different cultural contexts.

“…“Trust, like the soul, never returns once it is gone’’ (Publilius, 2018). Yet, until now, we don't know how much privacy and trust affect the adoption of new technologies ( Aboul-Dahab et al, 2021 ; Bansal and Nah, 2022 ; Fox et al, 2021 ). The role of privacy and trust in consumer adoption of new technology is especially important in the context of social media, where it is becoming more important in individuals' personal and family lives and has access to more and more personal and potentially sensitive information on customers.…”

“…Every advertisement has a particular ideology (Nuske, 2019;Jan et al, 2019;Sulatra & Pratiwi, 2020;Aboul-Dahab et al, 2021). In this case, ideology is defined as "the mental frameworks, the languages, the concepts, categories, imagery of thought, and the systems of representation-which different classes and social groups deploy in order to make sense of, define, figure out and render intelligible the way society works" (Hall, 1986).…”

Slimming products have been continuously produced, while advertisements used for marketing these products increase in number. Advertisement of these slimming products shows an image of the ideal female body that is promised to be achieved if consumers use the offered products. Advertisement of these slimming products becomes one of the facilities to spread and maintain an ideology of beauty in society. The ideology can influence and shape the perspective of society related to beauty stereotypes that are later made a benchmark in assessing a person. Many people are disadvantaged by these beauty stereotypes spread in society. This research aims to reveal the construction of the image of the ideal female body in an advertisement of the slimming products through three dimensions of Critical Discourse Analysis, as Fairclough (2014) stated. These three dimensions are the text analysis phase, discursive practice analysis phase, and sociocultural praxis analysis phase. Besides analyzing verbal and non-verbal aspects in the selected advertisements, the researcher also interviewed 10 (ten) women to identify the perspective of Indonesian women to the beauty discourse existing in advertisement and society. The results of the study revealed that beauty discourse, as shown in the advertisement, was internalized by women as participants in this research. In this case, discourse related to the ideal female body image is still persistent in society.
