Social media applications have been ubiquitous in modern society, and their usage has grown exponentially over the years. With the widespread adoption of these platforms, social media has evolved into a significant origin of digital evidence in the domain of digital forensics. The increasing utilization of social media has caused an increase in the number of studies focusing on artifact (digital remnants of data) recovery from these platforms. As a result, we aim to present a comprehensive survey of the existing literature from the past 15 years on artifact recovery from social media applications in digital forensics. We analyze various approaches and techniques employed for artifact recovery, structuring our review on well-defined analysis focus categories, which are memory, disk, and network. By scrutinizing the available literature, we determine the trends and commonalities in existing research and further identify gaps in existing literature and areas of opportunity for future research in this field. The survey is expected to provide a valuable resource for academicians, digital forensics professionals, and researchers by enhancing their comprehension of the current state of the art in artifact recovery from social media applications. Additionally, it highlights the need for continued research to keep up with social media’s constantly evolving nature and its consequent impact on digital forensics.

“…Consequently, the use of digital or collaborative platforms such as Slack , Google Docs , Trello, among others, makes it possible to implement interfaces for the development of communication, carrying out tasks in an interactive and collaborative way (Davis et al, 2022;Hilal et al, 2022). Similarly, Discord stands out as a versatile and collaborative online communication platform; that facilitates interaction through its channels, group voice and text chat, private messages, roles, support for video calls and its availability on computers and the web.…”

The objective of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Discord as an educational resource to promote teamwork in sixth grade primary school students. The design was pre-experimental, with a sample of 35 children between 11-12 years old. The technique was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire to measure teamwork. The statistical test used was Wilcoxon's W. The results demonstrate improvement in the development of teamwork in the dimensions of leadership, communication and empathy, thus proving that the Discord platform optimizes interaction and collaboration between students. It is concluded that the Discord platform as an educational resource is effective in the development of teamwork, according to the Wilcoxon test, obtaining a p value lower than the proposed significance (0.00<0.05), which suggests that there is a significant difference between the entrance questionnaire and exit after the experiment.

This study aims to analyze the impact of digital marketing on urban courier companies in the municipality of Valledupar, Colombia. It also aims to propose strategies for smart delivery in urban courier companies in developing countries and identify barriers to be overcome in these activities. A quantitative approach with a descriptive research design is used. Given the nested nature of the data, a correlation analysis was performed to gather information on the relationship between the variables studied and the strength and direction of those relationships. A correlation analysis was conducted to identify the correlation coefficient between two specific variables. The ordinary least squares (OLS) regression method examined the relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The results indicate that the use of social media has a significant positive impact on the dependent variable. In contrast, the use of email and websites does not show statistical significance. The proposed strategies include real-time tracking of shipments, personalized notifications, scheduled delivery, integration of augmented reality, use of smart lockers, and geolocation technology. As barriers to be overcome in urban courier activities in developing countries, the following are identified infrastructure limitations, limited access to technology, costs associated with technology adoption, digital divide and skills, and resistance to change. The study was conducted in small and medium-sized courier companies in developing countries, so the implications of the results should be generalized to only some companies worldwide. The research highlights the importance of developing digital marketing skills and addressing barriers to implementing smart delivery strategies. Strategies such as real-time tracking of shipments, personalized notifications, scheduled delivery, augmented reality integration, smart lockers, and geolocation technology are proposed. It is concluded that digital marketing can enhance urban courier services and provide competitive advantages to companies that adopt it. This study provides valuable insights to develop specific strategies and solutions that help improve the operational efficiency of urban courier companies, including website optimization, effective use of social media, and email, and increased visibility in search engines. It enhances service quality, providing a more satisfying customer experience and fostering customer loyalty. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of developing engaging and relevant content and establishing effective communication with customers through digital channels.
