Assessment of Digital Activity of the Population in the Context of the Theory of Generations

Purpose of the study. Digital reality dictates the need to develop a new block of competencies - digital skills. For employment and subsequent career growth, knowledge of computer technology, programming skills and the use of software are of high importance. For a high-quality daily life of different age categories of the population, competencies in the use of personal computers, the Internet and other types of ICT are required. In the context of the rapid expansion of the Internet audience, it is of particular interest to assess the activity of the population in the digital space and analyze the purposes of its use. The materials of the article touch upon the theory of generations, which reveals patterns in the behavior of people born in the same time intervals. Representatives of different generations under the influence of economic, political, social and cultural factors form their own values and perception of the world. Which, ultimately, will require the adaptation of both the consumer goods and services market and the labor market to the characteristics of representatives of each generation. This predetermines the need to study the specifics of the use of the digital environment by representatives of the designated economically active generations.Materials and methods. The information base of the study was the data of the Federal State Statistics Service for 2012–2019, as well as the results of sample surveys of households on the use of ICT. As a tool for assessing the digital behavior of representatives of economically and socially active generations, statistical methods were used: comparative analysis and analysis of time series.Results. The age structure of the population of the Russian Federation is represented by the following generations: the baby boomer generation, generations X, Y and Z. The share of these economically and socially active generations is 95% of the total population of the country. The share of the greatest and silent generations is 5%. Each generation has its own patterns of behavior. Comparative characteristics of the features of the use of the digital environment led to the conclusion that for all generations the priority goals of using the Internet are communications and personal interaction. The main differences are manifested in the specifics of actions performed by representatives of the generations under consideration on the Internet and consumer preferences for goods and services presented on different digital platforms. At the same time, representatives of generation Z have a higher level of digital skills compared to representatives of other generations. The results of the study are of interest to business representatives when developing strategic directions for interacting with consumers and subsequently involving a significant part of society in the online space.

SOCIOPRAGMATIC PRINCIPLES OF STUDENTS’ LINGUISTIC COMMUNICATION: CONCEPTS AND RULES

The purpose of this article is to study the socio-pragmatic principles of linguistic communication of students. In recent years, as a result of developments in various spheres of society, the demand for foreign languages is growing. In today's era of globalization, we all know that the main demand of the labor market in the advanced countries of the world is the ability to communicate in a foreign language, knowledge of computer technology and rich innovative ideas and their own style. Measures to further improve the system of study of foreign languages were highlighted in the Law on Education, the National Program of Personnel Training and the Law on Education adopted by the Oliy Majlis of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The main purpose of teaching a foreign language at all levels of education in the Republic of Uzbekistan is to enable students to work abroad in scientific and industrial fields in a multicultural world formation of communicative competence in the language. The concept of competence varies in many foreign and domestic publications by representatives of different fields depending on their activity. However, the basis of this term is considered to be a single content, that is, the integration of concepts such as knowledge, skills and abilities in a person and the ability to apply them correctly in different situations. It follows that the communicative competence in a foreign language is the ability to apply existing knowledge, skills and competencies in a foreign language in the process of communication. The state educational standard of the Republic of Uzbekistan includes linguistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic competencies as components of communicative competence in a foreign language, which serve as the basis for its improving. It is true that any language is a means of communication for people. As long as a person lives in a certain society, he/she must interact with others, have the same language, beliefs and share social events. It should be noted that mastering only the linguistic features of a foreign language studied during the acquisition of a foreign language does not provide real written and oral communication. The cultural values of the language studied in the article are also socio-pragmatic principles, rules concepts are analyzed.

Robotics in the international educational space: Integration and the experience

Nowadays robotics is one of promising avenues in the sphere of emerging technologies. In the teaching/learning environment we deal with educational robotics, which is a mixture of theory and practice, knowledge of computer technology, Mathematics and Physics. The two vectors are combined in educational robotics: the educational vector and the technological vector. As an academic discipline and an area of practical application, Robotics means a very broad spectrum of modern knowledge of diverse academic engineering specialties (fields of expertise). That means that Robotics is interdisciplinary in nature. The work provides an overview of the research aimed at studying Robot – Man interaction. Besides, the work considers some promising international cooperation between children from around the world on the development of robotics, and the experience and benefits gained from such cooperation. As an example of the international cooperation in the sphere of Robotics, the two countries, Russia and Kazakhstan, are considered. The article gives an example of the international cooperation of some educational centers, describes the experience of the work on robotics with children of various ages, and the cooperation of various schools working in this field in Kazakhstan and Russia. The working experience in the sphere of social robotics aimed at helping people has become a priority for the children from the interdisciplinary teams from Russia and Kazakhstan. Interaction and cooperation in the sphere of robotics was also used for introducing unconventional curricula, which included courses on robotic technologies as tools for considering social aspects of robotics and artificial intelligence.

Social media and student performance: the moderating role of ICT knowledge

PurposeThis study aims to determine the impact of social media usage on university student’s academic performance in Ghana.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research method was used for the study. With the aid of a simple random sampling technique, quantitative data were obtained from 373 out of 400 respondents representing 93 per cent of volunteered participants. Data collected was analysed using structural equation modelling to establish the relationship among social media information, social media entertainment, social media innovation, social media knowledge generation and student performance.FindingsThe findings of this study indicate that social media information, social media innovation and social media entertainment all had a significant positive influence on social media knowledge generation, which has wide learning and knowledge management implications. Also, the study indicated that information computer technology knowledge moderates the relationship between social media and student performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe sample taken was mainly cross-sectional in nature rendering the inference of causal relationships between the variables impossible. Future researchers should adopt a longitudinal research design to examine causality. Finally, the study was limited to only university students in Accra, Ghana. Future research can extend to a bigger student population and to other West African and African countries.Practical implicationsThis paper will serve as a profitable source of information for managers and researchers who may embark on future research on social media and academic performance. The findings that social media information, innovation and entertainment can likewise enhance social media knowledge generation can help managers and university teachers to use the vehicle of innovation and entertainment to communicate knowledge.Social implicationsThe findings of this study will help policymakers in education and other industries that engage the youth to realise the important factors that can make them get the best in the social media space.Originality/valueSocial media usage in academic performance is increasingly prevalent. However, little is known about how social media knowledge generation mediates between social media usage and academic performance and, furthermore, whether the information computer technology knowledge level of students moderates the relationship between social media knowledge generation and academic performance of university students in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly Ghana. Theoretically, the findings of this study provide clear research evidence to guide various investigations that can be done on the relationships of the variables under social media usage, knowledge generation and university student performance, which advances the diffusion of new knowledge.

Research on the Application of Cellular Algorithm in 3D Modeling of Cartoon Characters

The traditional design method of 3D animation modelings, by which can obtain attractive and precise 3D animation modelings, is to use three-dimensional modeling software such as Maya or 3D Max to draw directly. However, this method is faced with many problems, for instance, the lack of creativity, long design circle, high production costs, etc. For the problem of the lack of creativity, the reason is that animation designers are often subject to the limitation of the existing modelings and design concepts in the design process, therefore, they can not design creative modelings which are attractive and unforgettable enough. [For the problem of long design circle and high production costs, the reason is that although the 3D animation software are powerful, to skillfully master them not only requires users to have knowledge of computer technology and aesthetics at the same time, but also need a long learning process of modeling. Moreover, it takes the designers a lot of time and energy to design, draw and complete each modeling, and this will undoubtedly extend the design circle and increase the costs to some extent. Therefore, how to quickly and automatically generate creative 3D animation modelings has become a research focus of the present computer-aided creative design.

Information and Communication Technology Integration: Where to Start, Infrastructure or Capacity Building?

The e-Education policy in South Africa highlights the importance of information and communication technology literacy and demanded that every schoolgoing learner be ICT-savvy by 2013. However, the policy does not present implementation strategies; the challenge is that most schools still lack technology equipment for teaching and learning, and teachers are not yet fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to integrate technology into the curriculum. Using qualitative case study design, this study explores the challenges facing and successes relating to technology education with respect to the conditions essential to a technology integration framework. The findings revealed the availability of infrastructure as well teachers who lack relevant computer technology knowledge and skills. The study recommends capacity building as of major priority.

The advent of the third millennium has brought in an era of information society. The new era is the result of rapid changes brought about by the new technology and the cyber world. Obviously the information society offers vast scope and opportunities to human beings to identify information, to evaluate information, and to exchange information for the benefits of the citizens the world over. The in formation technology provides for a new environment, new work culture, new business links and trading networks. It allows information and knowledge based work to be located anywhere. It is virtually transforming and revolutionizing the world. The information technology is a double-edged sword, consistently presenting us with benefits and disadvantages. The increasing opportunities for productivities, efficiency and worldwide communications brought additional users in droves. Today, die internet is a utility, analogous to the electric company and '.com' has become a household expression. The reliability and availability of the internet are critical operational considerations. Activities that threaten these attributes like spamming, spoofing, etc, have grave impacts on its user community. Any illegal act, for which knowledge of computer technology is essential for its perpetration, investigation, or prosecution, is known as cyber crime. Among the various problems emerging out of the internet are the menace of hackers, cyber terrorism, spamming, Trojan horse attacks, denial of service attacks, pornography, cyber stalking etc. Through this paper the researcher will try to study the problem of cyber stalking, cyber defamation, various types of data theft and the laws relating to it. An effort is also made to look into the loopholes of the Information Technology Act, in addition to this the researcher will also try to recommend some suggestions to fight these dangerous problems, with the response of Indian judiciary to it.

Searching for lost data: outlines of aesthesic–poietic analysis

Fifty years down the line, the analysis of computer music is still a very complex issue, highly dependent on the identity of computer music itself: the variety of software, the lack of a common musical notation for scores, the absence or presence of computer data. This has led to the emergence of a multitude of analytical methods, including aesthesical analysis, which approaches music from the point of view of perception, and poietical analysis, which pays attention to the creative process.This study aims to combine these two methods of analysis in order to understand the relationship between technology and the actual piece of music. The article presents a methodological approach – focused on six pieces produced at IRCAM in Paris and at CSC in Padua, between 1975 and 1985 – via an in-depth consideration of Mauro Graziani's Winter leaves, a work conceived in 1980 at the CSC using Music360. The method used consists of comparing data collected using a diversity of practices: repeated listening, the tracing of graphical schematics, sonogram and spectrogram analysis, data listing analysis. An algorithm has also been created in order to calculate the degree to which the software is exploited and to enable a comparison between the different analyses. It is hoped that this procedure will combine traditional musicological methods with new approaches suited to the medium and grounded in a thorough knowledge of computer technology and musical environments.

In this study, the author discusses the process and results of the development of an undergraduate MIS program grounded in the industry's expectations and reflecting the perspectives of a select group of individuals from major organizations that employ MIS graduates. Results show that employers are looking for individuals with a strong systems orientation and a good understanding of an integrative business value-chain.

A Longitudinal Study of College Student Computer Knowledge

The liteature concerning computer literacy is vast, scanning populations as varied as K-12 students, college students, business executives, and the general public. A review of this research suggests that there have been as many definitions of computer literacy as there have been authors, and there have been as many measures of computer literacy as there have been tests. This paper focuses on the computer technology knowledge which college of business students need as a platform for understanding and analyzing types of business computer information systems and their uses.Since students now enter the introductory business computer or information system course having had a great deal of experience with computers, we explored how much computer technology knowledge, typical of this course, may have been acquired prior to matriculation. A computer technology knowledge test was administered on the second day of class to determine students' computer technology knowledge. This research shows that all but one-third of the students lack computer technology knowledge prior to entering their first college of business computer course, and this finding held up over time. Finally, this paper analyzes the curricular impact of students' lack of technology knowledge.

Information Technology for postgraduate education: survey of facilities and skills in the South West Deanery.

To determine the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure available to, and IT skills of, obstetric specialist registrars across the South West Deanery. Open prospective study. NHS Hospitals in the South West Deanery. Two separate surveys. Firstly, the computer equipment available to trainees was determined at each hospital in the deanery on site using a software programme. Secondly, IT skills of a sample of 22 specialist registrars were assessed using a checklist at a series of four workshops. Computers with sufficient specification to use CD-ROMs, to access the Internet, and to support data-, audio- and video-conferencing. The number of trainees with IT skills to use a computer-aided learning package and the Internet. Sixty-six percent of trainees have access to a computer with a CD-ROM drive. Sixty-six percent also have access to the Internet at their place of work. Thirteen percent have access to data-conferencing but there were no computers in the Deanery able to support audio- or video-conferencing. Twenty-five percent of trainees have no IT skills and require basic training in the use of computers. Thirty-six percent of our sample would require training to be able to use computer-based tutorials programs. Seventy-seven percent of trainees require training to be able to use the Internet without assistance. A significant minority of trainees do not have access to computers with sufficient specification to run basic tutorial programmes or access the Internet. Similarly, a large minority of trainees do not even have a basic knowledge of computer technology and IT training is required for the majority of trainees for them to reap the potential benefits which computer-based tutorials systems and the Internet can give.

Traveling the Superinformation Highway

According to the 1997 American Internet User Survey and the Georgia Tech Research Corporation's WWW User Survey (1998) there are approximately 31 million American adults using computers, the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW), with 5 million of these users being African American (Hoffman & Novak, 1998). This colossal figure supports the general consensus that more and more Americans believe that a working knowledge of computer technology in general and the Internet and WWW in particular is essential for business, education, and personal applications. The data from the American Internet User Survey and Georgia Tech's Research Corporation's WWW User Survey also indicate that, as a group, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Pacific American adults make up less than 14% of these users.' The Internet and WWW data that are specific to African Americans are difficult to find. That is, quantifiable data concerning their use of computers, the Internet, and the WWW are virtually absent from the literature, and there are very few data concerning their attitudes toward computers, the Internet, and the WWW. The usage data that do exist describe a picture of privilege and segregation. For example, Brook and Boale (1995) and others (Anderson, Bikson, Law, & Mitchell, 1995) have found that those who are surfing the superinformation highway are typically well

Computer competence for nurse educators.

The Delphi technique, with an evaluation panel of 56 educators from 28 states during Round One and 55 in Round Two, was used as a method of collecting and organizing judgments of present and future needs for computer competence. Competence statements covered psychomotor, cognitive and affective issues in using the computer and related technology in nursing practice and teaching. Judged to be highly important were 45 of the 68 possible present needs and 44 of the 64 future needs. It was concluded that the most pressing needs for nursing educators are for knowledge of computer technology, information on how to use the computer as an instructional tool, recognition of the nurse's role and issues of computer use in health care and use of the nursing process in the development of computerized care plans.

New Programming Language Overcomes the Language Barrier

Electromechanical relay systems were used exclusively up to the 1970s for controlling industrial processes. However, there was a great need, particularly in the automotive industry, for flexible systems that could be used again also after model changes. It is true that the electronic control systems that rapidly replaced the electromechanical ones at that time meet the need for flexibility. However, advanced programming tasks require special languages such as Fortran, Pascal or Assembler, but these have the drawback that only computer specialists can understand them. ASEA's new programming language, Asea MasterPiece Language, on the other hand, can be used also by production and process engineers and technicians not having any special knowledge of computer technology.
