CLASSIFICATION AND METHODS OF DETECTION OF PHISHING ATTACKS

The reliable operation of data transmission networks, computer systems and mobile devices is a mandatory condition for the effective functioning of the state and society, and the life of an individual. The reliability of key information systems for public use depends on many factors: cyber attacks, hardware and software failures, and various types of errors. Rapid expansion of threats to national security in the 21st century. entrusts state authorities with the tasks of their prevention, detection and neutralization. Cyber security is increasingly viewed as a fundamental problem of the state, which comprehensively affects its security, defense, economy, and almost all spheres of public life. The Internet gave a powerful impetus to the development of mass communication, trade and information exchange. However, today it is the area where many crimes are committed. The impersonal nature of digital infrastructure has made identity theft a natural and highly attractive project. Cybercriminals actively use various means of stealing information, including phishing. At the current stage and in the future, the development of both individual societies and states, as well as the world in general, will be carried out in accordance with the concept of the information society, which is connected with the use of information and telecommunication technologies in the acquisition, storage and processing of information in everyday life Phishing is a serious online security problem that involves spoofing genuine websites to trick online users and steal their confidential information. Analyzing these definitions, we can conclude that “phishing” can be considered in different ways, but the main purpose of its conduct remains unchanged—stealing data. The practical value of the results lies in the possibility of using the obtained classifier for further creation of software solutions for recognizing phishing sites. It, as well as a set of characteristics, can be implemented in anti-phishing browser extensions or other anti-phishing tools.

FORM MAKING AS A PROBLEM OF PHILOSOPHICAL AND AESTHETIC ANALYSIS

The development of mass communication, the widespread computerization, as well as the development of technical forms of art, such as cinema, photography and advertising, and, in general, raising the level of civilization gives rise to a new way of perception and creativity, changes the spiritual culture, and influences the form making of mass consciousness. Under such conditions, the transformation of the sphere of cognition in general is obvious, allowing one to identify new aspects of scientific knowledge, as well as the specifics of new disciplines that arose at the junction of traditional scientific fields (semiotics, cybernetics, information theory, etc.), and requiring philosophical reflection. The boundaries of not only scientific disciplines, but also of the types of art, become mobile. Montage, which was born as a technical tool of cinema, developed into the principle of montageability becoming as a result (like the two other favourite methods of postmodernism, collage and quotation) a thing, which determines everything for each mentality, including creative one. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that in many works devoted to the study of the fashion phenomenon, sometimes there is an unconscious mixture of the concepts of “fashion” and “modelling of a suit,” and, in particular, of their aesthetic functions, which does not allow us to fully identify the specifics of “clothing design” as a direction in designing. Moreover, until now, significant changes in the worldview of the XX century have not been reflected in the theory of fashion, in particular, in such its part as the shaping of a costume, and they can affect both the nature of the phenomenon itself and the fundamental principles in the field of costume design.

Attitude Toward Sustainable Transport as a Function of Source and Argument Reliability and Anticipated Emotions

The progressive development of mass communication has allowed the understanding and management of the persuasion process in a more systematic way. However, nowadays, persuasive campaigns still hardly result in behavior changes, particularly around concerns of the promotion of more sustainable lifestyles. Thus, it appears essential to investigate which dimensions are more effective in influencing people’s pro-environmental actions. Relying on the conceptual frameworks provided by the elaboration likelihood model (ELM) and the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB), a questionnaire study (n = 380 urban residents) was carried out on the psycho-social antecedents of the intention to use sustainable means of transport. Structural equation modeling showed the mediating role of attitudes toward sustainable transport between ELM persuasion features (i.e., source reliability and argument reliability) and behavioral intention. Positive and negative anticipated emotions, derived from MGB, predict source reliability (the former) and argument reliability (the latter), respectively.

The new social-cultural order and new media in Kazakhstan

The development of mass communication is carried out in the era of the global digital revolution. The rapid development of information technologies, new media: the blogosphere, social networks, the transition to digital broadcasting in the 21st century, has made it necessary to understand the cultural and information processes in Kazakhstan. If the technical problems of communication have international similarity, then the issues of social content differ depending on the countries, on the historical, economic and cultural development, the nature of the socio-political system of society. New technological advances of the information revolution are complemented by new media opportunities: interactivity, multimedia, personalization of information, globalization, convergence, hypertext, speed, mobility, digitalization, multifunctionality.The formation of the information policy of Kazakhstan requires the priority of national interests, and the developing information and cultural space requires active integration into the near and far abroad. At the same time, modernization of the country can be successful while preserving the society’s identity in the context of globalization, which is achieved in the process of a certain balance between external and internal circumstances, between the impulse from outside and the internal potential of society to improve, in the development of the national telecommunications infrastructure with access to the world’s scientific and technological resources, technical information that can turn the supply of information of local origin to the global market.

Ethical and Policy Issues in Current Trends of Media Technological and Mass Communication Development in Nigerian Society: Perspective from ICT Administrative Management and Sociology

Ethical and Policy Issues in Current Trends of Media Technological and Mass Communication Development in Nigerian Society: Perspective from ICT Administrative Management and Sociology

Інституціональний вимір утворення латиноамериканської регіональної медійної системи.

The article examines the political aspects of the formation of international specialized nongovernmental organizations in the field of mass media in the Latin American region. In particular, the example of the Inter American Press Association, the International Association of Broadcasting, and the Ibero-American Telecommunications Organization shows how the imbalance of global and regional information flows, the processes that determined the foreign policy of the countries of the region and the international relations of that time in general, as well as the situation with the assurance of freedom of speech and media activities have determined and determine now the key tasks of the Latin American regional media system development. In particular, it has been shown that one of the most important reasons for creating that associations was to counteract the restrictive policies of some countries in the region, and the willingness of governments to use the mass media to address domestic and foreign policy objectives. It was found that the initiators of the establishment of regional institutions in all cases were Latin American media organizations themselves, which suggests that the need for such associations was and remains urgent and that their creation was an attempt to answer the challenges to Latin American regional media system, and to join efforts to strengthen Latin America’s voice outside the region. The consultative status of these institutions at the United Nations Economic and Social Council points to their credibility and weight. The core of all associations is cultural unity based on the Spanish language, which allows to speak about these institutions as Ibero-American or even Hispano-American. Proactive reaction to the processes of convergence of mass media on the basis of the Internet platform indicates the dynamism of these associations and their willingness to transform in accordance with the realities of the development of mass communications and regional and global information space.

Dwudziestolecie międzywojenne w periodyzacji historycznojęzykowej — wizje i rewizje

The author tries to locate the interwar period in the context of language periodization. She presents two previous approaches: the one of Z. Klemensiewicz, S. Urbanczyk and S. Dubisz who included the years 1918–1939 into Modern Polish period and the other of A. Furdal, T. Smolkowa, and S. Borawski who considered the year 1918 as the beginning of the new epoch in the history of Polish language. The author’s proposition is to focus on the evaluation of Polish language in the years 1918–1939, instead of looking for a borderline between the Modern Polish period and contemporary one. The main reason for connecting the interwar period with the contemporary one and not with the Modern Polish period was the radical change in the use of language. The re-establishment of the Polish state triggered fast process of integration. It was the result of the state policy of language and development of mass communication.

The co-evolution of public relations and journalism: A first contribution to its systematic review

There are many research findings and some theoretical models regarding the interaction between journalism and public relations (PR). But only scarce research has been done so far on the historical perspective of this relationship, which is also called co-evolution of PR and journalism. The aim of this article is to make a first step into the analysis of this co-evolution with a focus on the emergence of PR in the German-language area and based mainly on German literature about the history of PR.The analysis shows that the rise of PR in the second half of the 19th century was, amongst others, a reaction to the development of journalism that had become increasingly biased. Thus, for many societal actors and organisations, the barriers to entering the public arena were increasing. At the same time the importance of the mass media, and pressures on social protagonists and organisations to legitimise their interests in a changing society, were growing.These results support a theoretical concept that describes the development of mass communication as a process of rationalisation of societal communication, which in addition can be linked with system theory.

What is the Stage of Development of Albania in the Information Society?

Information society is a new stage of the social order. It is based on knowledge and offering services on the production of goods. A characteristics of the information society is the quick mass communication development, internet and digital innovation. It creates, distributes, uses and integrates information which is exposed an important economic, political and cultural activity. Ahead to this initiative are the western developed countries. Albania aspires to become part of EU. But in order to achieve this aspiration it should fulfill some standards. This study intends to define in which level toward information society Albania is? If there are implemented the signed agreements with the countries of the Region and EU. If the country is going toward virtual capitalism and which are the concrete steps and problems? So the indicator in this case is measured with the online services offered by the country for its own citizens which are conditioned from the scale of the penetration of internet and digital technology. In order to identify this fact there will be consulted distinguished researchers of the field, specialized monitors, National Strategy document for IT and communication in Albania. At the same time data and statistics from Internet World Stats, and the Agency of the Electronic and Postal Services Agency, Web pages of the Ministries, Prime-Ministers Office, directorates, institutions and agencies dealing with e-services in general, from the Audiovisual Authority of Media, Alexa.com etc. As a conclusion all the data will be compared to the indicators of the EU countries.

The Role of Contemporary Christian Organizations in the Development of Mass Communication in Nigeria: An Exploratory Study

The main aim of ‘real’ religion is development. This paper is a study of the contributions of contemporary Christian organizations in Nigeria to the development of Mass Communication in the country and in effect, their contributions to overall national development. Religious organizations have always in their various ways strived to contribute to national development. However, until recently, the contribution could not be said to be remarkable or significant in terms of helping to address issues of national needs. They were not able to make impactful contribution to national development due to regulatory constraints and their participation in developmental activities remained relatively dormant. A number of Christian organizations in the last few years have however contributed to recorded development in the Mass communication industry. While highlighting the various modes that the contribution has taken, the paper attempts to situate the various developmental roles of selected Christian organizations to the print and broadcast subsectors of mass communication in the general framework of development in Nigeria. The paper concludes that while the selected Christian organizations engage the print and electronic media in propagating their religious values, they actively contribute to growth in the advertising industry, training and education, employment generation and promotion of reading culture among others. Contributions to these indices of development make for agreement that these organizations have made input and are still contributing to national development through involvement in the media subsector. Keywords: religious organizations, publications, development, contributions

Editorial: Knowing about communication and media

Yngve Nordkvelle, editorThere is a tradition in media history from Plato idealising the communication situation that is person to person. Although several authors have shown that Socrates used many strategies for his communication to his audience, and quite a few of them were far less sincerely other-centred than his followers like to portray. In fact Socrates was using all the tricks of the communication trade: persuading, threatening, ridiculing and joking in addition to the sanctimonious dialogue. However, in the dialogues, we believe we find the true Socrates, or Plato, expressing the potential of self-liberation and self-expansion in the education of the person, in plain talking person to person. Jesus was a practitioner of communicative skills, addressing small groups, as well as larger groups and gatherings. Monty Python showed how difficult it must have been to convey the message to a really large group of followers without using a PA-system, and how creatively listeners compose new meanings from the bits and pieces they do actually hear. Nevertheless, speaking one to many was a necessity for the mass-communication ambitions of the Christians, who boldly went out to baptize the entire world.While Plato nurtured the deepest suspicion of rhetoric as an art of communication, the Christians embraced the knowledge of Rhetoric, and developed it for their purposes in their activities of organizing the Western Mind. Socrates did use drawings and mental visuals: allegories, stories etc. for his purposeful teaching. The Greeks acknowledged that teaching was actually very closely associated with “pointing at”. “Didaskein” was the word they used for the teaching activity of pointing at or highlighting something worth explaining. In the development of mass communication the usefulness of pointing at something apart from what is conceivable here and now has been a significant part of rhetoric and teaching. Metaphors, allegories and stories - and then symbols, signs, icons, drawings, tables and graphs developed over the years and were used in churches, public buildings, lecture halls and schools to assist the preacher, speaker or teacher. Flexible visualizing tools, such as the blackboard, or the more theatrical “laterna magica”, then the “ballopticon”, slidesprojector, overheadprojector etc. arrived and made the tasks of the messenger more and more complex.With the computer even more tools have arrived. Gradually our everyday teaching with media has been overwhelmingly furnished with gadgets that make visualization common - and sometimes grim and confusing, - sometimes enlightening and expanding. In our journal we try to explain, expand on and forward critique on both the media technologies and the way we use them.In this issue we present four articles with different takes on the matter. Professor Theo Hug opens this issue with a deep analysis of what knowing about educational media is all about. From his base at the University of Innsbruck he provides us with a profound insight in the trends and fads that we are surrounded with, and suggest new angels and ways of seeing the problems we encounter of “the visual” in teaching and learning. Professor Halvor Nordby offers a deep exploration of the communication phenomenon related to the use of Internet for teaching and communication. He asks what the essential nature of this communication is and how it differs from ordinary face-to-face communication in a most fundamental sense. He provides us with a conceptual analysis as a philosophical method to explore the intrinsic nature of the concept interactive communication. His aim of this method is to develop a concept definition that matches shared linguistic beliefs about informative examples from Internet based communication and information exchange that is central in e-learning. PhD Ulf Olson, who works at the University of Stockholm offers us insights into the problems of how lecturers from three different universities interpret and apply certain methods in their blended learning/web-based courses. He compares their teaching methods to the lecturers' conceptions of learning. He used questionnaires for the survey and compares responses from lecturers in 10 subjects to each other. Olson’s main aims was to compare chosen teaching forms to conceptions of learning, and to compare subject areas with each other according to the lecturers' conceptions of learning. Not surprisingly, he did find important inconsistencies between the lecturers' conceptions of learning and the teaching methods they used. Finally, associate professor Arvid Staupe from the Norwegian University of Technology and Science, present a paper reporting from an experiment trying out new forms of evaluation at his own institution. The article describe how he went about to solve the particular problems of students’ learning in his classes by offering alternative ways of evaluating the students’ work. The article provides evidence of the success of alternative evaluation methods, as well as documenting how conventional learning styles at the university may slow down the pace of change in this important domain.

Assortative mating by occupational status during early industrialization

According to the logic of industrialism thesis during industrialization, the influence of, achieved characteristics on mate selection increased, while the influence of ascribed, characteristics decreased. Other processes that accompanied industrialization, such as, the development of mass communication, urbanization, increasing regional mobility, modern transport, and educational expansion, were hypothesized to break down, cultural differences and cause a decline of status based mate selection. This study, provides a first direct test of these hypotheses by analyzing a large dataset on, marriages in the Dutch province Zeeland between 1811 and 1915, a period before and, during industrialization. Industrialization and the other afore mentioned processes, were measured at the local level in each year of marriage, to take both local and, temporal variation into account. Using multilevel analyses it is shown that (1) the, influence of ascribed and achieved characteristics on status of the spouse differed, considerably between municipalities and changed over time, (2) the influence of, ascribed characteristics decreased, while the influence of achieved characteristics, remained unchanged, (3) the logic of industrialism thesis is supported, while, processes accompanying industrialization are less systematically related to changes in, ascription and achievement.

How useful are the demographic surveys in explaining the determinants of early marriage of girls in the Terai of Nepal?

In recent decades significant changes in Nepalese society have greatly contributed to the increase in age at marriage of girls in Nepal. Factors responsible for these changes include educational development, urbanization and development of mass communications. However, many parents still marry their daughters at very young ages and this practice is particularly prevalent in the Terai region. This paper examines several demographic data sets with a view to assessing their utility for understanding the determinants of early age of marriage of girls in the Terai.

Warrior nation: images of war in British popular culture, 1850-2000

War has always been close to the centre of British culture, but never more so than in the period since 1850. Warrior Nation explores the way in which images of battle, both literary and visual, have been constructed in British fiction and popular culture since this time. The rise of war reporting has helped to shape a society fascinated by conflict, and the development of mass communications has aided in the creation of mass-produced martial heroes and the relation of epic adventures for political ends. To achieve national goals, the notion of war has been promoted as an activity of high adventure and chivalrous enterprise and as a rite of passage to manhood. Using a wide range of media, Michael Paris focuses on how war has been sold to boys and young men and examines the warrior as a masculine ideal.
