Extreme Degree

Abstract Hikikomori social withdrawal syndrome was first diagnosed in Japan and means a person who has been isolated from society to an extreme degree. She/he does not attend school or go to work. They do not attend university, they constantly remain at home and most often keep contact with the outside world using new technologies. Hikikomori syndrome is most often recognized as a characteristic problem occurring among Asian societies. Meanwhile, the growing dependence on new technologies among Western societies, and in particular, on the Internet, has caused social withdrawal to become a global problem. Human relationships began to move from the real world to the virtual world, which nowadays is full of communication facilities and allows people to establish relationships with other people without leaving their homes with the help of social media, which are currently packed with advanced solutions connecting people of similar interests or views. All this means that nowadays it is easy to withdraw from physical social life without losing virtual contact with others.

The Impact

W pierwszych dwóch dekadach X XI wieku zauważa się wyraźne przemiany w zachowaniach nabywców pod wpływem internetu. Powszechna stała się wirtualna komunikacja, która znacząco wpłynęła na zmianę struktury wydatków na reklamę — permanentnie zwiększa się udział reklamy internetowej w torcie reklamowym. Reklama online niewątpliwie oddziałuje na przedstawicieli pokoleń X, Y i Z, które wyodrębnia się w literaturze ze względu na odmienne cechy charakteru, poglądy, zachowania, a także stosunek do nowych technologii. W pracy wykorzystano wycinek pierwotnych badań ilościowych autorki, przeprowadzonych na przełomie roku 2017 i 2018 na próbie respondentów w Polsce 487 i Wielkiej Brytanii 173. Generations X, Y and Z towards online advertisingIn the last 20 years the two decades of the 21st century, there have been visible changes in the behavior of buyers under the influence of the Internet. Virtual communication has become widespread, which has significantly changed the structure of advertising expenditures — the share of online advertising in the advertising pie is constantly increasing. Online advertising undoubtedly affects the representatives of generations X, Y and Z, which are distinguished in the literature due to different character traits, views,  behaviors, as well as the attitude to new technologies. The aim of the considerations is to recognize the impact of online advertising on the purchasing behavior of representatives of generations X, Y and Z in Poland. Two research hypotheses were formulated. First of all, online advertising affects the purchases of all the generations analysed. Secondly, the generations Y and Z most commonly  tend to be inclined to purchase by advertisements posted on social networks. To achieve the goal a section of the author’s original quantitative research was used, which was carried out at the turn of 2017 and 2018 on a sample of 660 respondents in Poland 487 and Great Britain 173.

New Type

Facial tracking technologies have been incorporated in digital cameras for many years, and are offered to users of social networks such as Facebook to facilitate and automatize tagging (the process of recognizing one’s face in a picture and associating it with a user’s profile) and image sharing. Nevertheless, in recent times, facial recognition technologies seem to have taken a new turn, and from the simple recognition of faces with cameras and social networks they have become embedded in mainstream security technologies as much as in entertaining ‘face swap’ apps, transforming the social and cultural implications of the selfie. This paper examines the political implications of new technologies for facial recognition, and proposes a new type of selfie aesthetic characterized by new forms of human and machinic agency. The paper argues that when the selfie becomes mediated by new tracking technologies for security system and entertainment based on face-recognition algorithms, the selfie becomes an ‘Algorithmic Facial Image’.

AbstractThe last decades of the evolution of mankind have undergone spectacular changes in technological progress; the age in which we live is paradoxical, tumultuous, a world of informational abundance, subject to continuous change. With this evolution, threats, risks and vulnerabilities have gained new registers of understanding and manifestation. These changes in the methods of achieving the goal, specific to the 21st century, make it necessary to know and understand the new needs, how to manifest them in the online environment and the risks arising from satisfying them. Changes in the technological sphere have also led to behavioral changes. Humans behave differently in different environments, and the online environment offers unlimited possibilities with effects that we still cannot fully interpret. The social networks initially aimed to create an optimal environment in which people have the chance to be connected, to share ideas, thoughts, experiences, and memories. The purpose of this article is to highlight both the naivety of people when they work in the online environment, how this naivety can be used to obtain certain results at a strategic level, as well as the effects / impact that our actions in the online environment can have.

Household Incomes

We describe the concept of a social firm–-a business created for the employment of people with disadvantages in the labor market–-and illustrate how it can be implemented through the experience of employees who were unemployed and living on public allowances prior to commencement of the project. Our experience suggests that participating in a social firm may enable people who are dependent on public allowances to obtain employment that is suitable to their talents, to contribute financially to their household incomes, to have a place to be socially supported, to expand their social networks, and to acquire new knowledge. Implications for practice, in terms of the social firm arena and social work profession, are discussed.

The authors present the first results of a heuristic evaluation of online content and the social networks that allows the detection of the manipulators of the mass media communication, the universities, and the research centers in the Iberian Peninsula. They present the strategies used in a technique of heuristic evaluation called CASTE – Computer Art, Software, and Technology Evaluation. Finally, a first graphic is presented that shows the results of applying CASTE and the manipulating extension in other territories of the disguised research business in art and new technologies.

This chapter provides a brief review of the main ways of obtaining resources from the non-profit entities in order to appreciate the new tools for doing so, as well as the possibilities of new technologies in this field. More specifically, this text analyzes how the social networks and the development of Web 2.0 affect the possibilities of obtaining resources for these organizations through crowdfunding, which represents an additional source of income to help fund projects with very specific characteristics, but is not the only way to enable these organizations to sustain their cost structures.

Abstract„Globalisation, new technologies and demographic developments constitute an enormous challenge; one of the answers to this problem is the access to lifelong learning”[1] (Jan Figel – Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism). This paper is intended to be a plea in favour of faculty using and engaging social networks in the act of teaching and learning. This of course will imply a permanent effort of self-teaching for the teachers themselves. Similarly to the notorious brands that are already making use of the social media in an intense and prolific way, academic institutions ought as well to articulate a coherent and viable strategy, based on the new online communication channels, if they want to obtain and maintain their credibility and reputation for the public.

Links between Qatar’s labor market and post-secondary education are not fully effective and often result in neglected or duplicated development of human capital. Therefore, most development efforts occur in isolation involving outmoded programs with many complacent faculty unaware of new technologies and developments relevant to labor market sectors. Analyses of secondary data from government departments and international studies were combined with a survey on “Improving and enriching the Human Capital of the State of Qatar through Identification and Development of 21st Century Skills”. This explored perception of both employers and TVET program leaders toward the skills needed for economic and social development in a changing world by meeting human capital needs through 21st century skills. A total of 85 managers and professionals completed the survey, together with 35 TVET program leaders from one university and five government TVET institutions (the survey was adapted to fit the context of TVET institutions surveyed). Thirty-two of the industry managers and professionals were from Hydrocarbon and Energy, 26 from Built Environment and 27 from Banking Finance sectors. Subsequently, 32 semi-structured interviews were conducted. Descriptive statistics using T-test and effect size for comparison, showed a major mismatch between perceptions of TVET program leaders and business finance sector’ managers and professionals in many aspects of 21st century skills requirements. These were mainly in social skills and some specific technology skills. Significantly, the study indicated weak links between employers and TVET institutions. To address these issues, minimizing the skills’ mismatch can be achieved by placing greater emphasis on reforming the curricula of Qatar’s TVET institutions, to facilitate faster transitions into the workplace.
