Social media applications led by WhatsApp have exhibited a great adoption rate in individualistic and collectivistic societies. To study the factors which influence the adoption of software applications across cultures, the application design was studied by researchers in both individualistic and collectivistic societies. Most of such studies concentrated on the application design from the developer's point of view. Differently, this research study empirically explores the factors that influence the adoption of smartphone apps, such as WhatsApp, from the user's perspective. Therefore, the focus in this paper is on the moderating effect of Hofstede's crosscultures dimension, individualism vs. collectivism (IDV), and the interconnection between the persuasive system design (PSD) and acceptance. A total of 488 responses were collected from societies which span on the spectrum of IDV to include two individualistic societies, Netherlands and Germany, and two collectivistic societies, Malaysia and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The overall results indicate that persuasive design principles are relevant to cultures across the globe. Moreover, individualism has a negative influence on the correlation between the persuasive system design principles and acceptance. Consequently, the findings suggest that in collectivistic societies, PSD principles have a stronger influence on the acceptance of smartphone apps. Thus, smartphone apps that are targeting the global community would highly benefit from the implementation of PSD principles which can lead to a higher adoption.

“…As a result of the advent of social media platforms like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and many others, 81% of Malaysians now actively use SM (Miller, 2021). Also, we found compelling design frameworks that will influence various demographic groups' behaviour positively, notably in global smartphone applications, virtual reality, and social media interaction (Faisal, Nor, & Abdullah, 2019). Increasing social activities on ICT platforms has given PT greater leverage as a social influencer to encourage positive behaviour change (Muhamad & Shahrom, 2020).…”

The effective use of persuasive technology in social media can influence behaviour change. By 2020, 88.7% of Malaysians were active internet users, and various social media platforms to change users' behaviour had emerged via the internet. This paper examines how persuasive technology has been used in Malaysian health care and behaviour change over the past ten years. The goal is to discover how well technology has been used to change people's behaviour. The findings of this paper anticipate an in-depth study about underexplored topics, such as the most effective strategy to embed PT in Social Media applications to improve health.

“…Moreover, the uniform distribution of particles over the whole surface can be observed. The aggregation could be due to the interactions and Van der Waals forces between the MgONPs [29]. Researchers also reported that larger grains could be attributed to the Oswald ripening process, with limited porosity and crystallinity [30].…”

This work is devoted to magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles (NPs) for their use as additives for bone implants. Extracts from four different widely used plants, including Aloe vera, Echeveria elegans, Sansevieria trifasciata, and Sedum morganianum, were evaluated for their ability to facilitate the “green synthesis” of MgO nanoparticles. The thermal stability and decomposition behavior of the MgONPs were analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Structure characterization was performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and Raman scattering spectroscopy (RS). Morphology was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photocatalytic activity of MgO nanoparticles was investigated based on the degradation of methyl orange (MeO) using UV-Vis spectroscopy. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering spectroscopy (SERS) was used to monitor the adsorption of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) on the surface of MgONPs. The calculated enhancement factor (EF) is up to 102 orders of magnitude for MgO. This is the first work showing the SERS spectra of a chemical compound immobilized on the surface of MgO nanoparticles.
