The article aims to present the latest results of the media literacy survey of the Latvian population, compare them with the indicators of 2017, and outline the future tasks for successful media literacy development in Latvia based on the identified problem situations. The results of the 2019 research were obtained in a representative survey of the Latvian population. It was conducted by the Latvian Council of Science project “Latvian Media Ecology: Analysis of the Changes Caused by the Fourth Industrial Revolution” No. lzp-2018/2-0260. To explain the context, the article begins with an explanation of the concept of media literacy, a brief overview of the development of media literacy in Latvia over the past five years, and a description of the media literacy of the Latvian population. Although some media literacy indicators of the Latvian population have improved in terms of self-assessment, there are still results that indicate the need to intensively continue media literacy education and address it more purposefully to certain groups of society. In the second part, the author offers a vision of some future tasks in the process of promoting media literacy in the field of project topics and media literacy strategy and policy planning. The first task is to encourage children and young people to think critically in evaluating Youtube and other social media content. The second highlights the need to reach the population with a low level of education. The third draws attention to the need to successfully integrate the media literacy issues included in the new education standard into students’ daily work and provide lifelong learning for teachers. The fourth task for the future is to design long-term projects, also thinking about measuring their effectiveness.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has reoriented societies across the world and placed a significant burden on caring for mental health among its population. In this study, we reported two cases where patients experiencing severe depression with delusions of having COVID-19 required inpatient treatment after long-term remission owing to the negative impact of media reports related to the pandemic. Despite the aggravation of their anxiety, the patients were unable to distance themselves from negative information in attempts to remain informed through media to prevent their families and themselves from being infected. Self-protection through improved media literacy is imperative for people to protect themselves from the fearmongering of the media and infodemic in the present-day scenario.

Over the past fifteen years, sociologists have mounted an influential challenge to traditional psychological accounts of childhood. The new sociology of childhood has presented a powerful critique of the developmentalist view of children as merely ‹adults in the making›. Such a view, it is argued, judges children only in terms of what they will become in the future, once they have been adequately socialised: they are seen as inherently vulnerable, incomplete and dependent. This article considers how recent research on children and media relates to public policy, and specifically to current debates about media regulation in the UK. Debates about the media are obviously an important arena for contemporary concerns about childhood.

This article discusses how media convergence, as a new era of media in welcoming the industrial revolution, is not working properly. The purpose of this study is to explain how the media today still often create content with profit priority. By using Vincent Mosco's political economy theory and case studies on local media with national networks, the author tries to unravel how the media performs its functions. As a result, even though the media has developed more advanced with the era of digital media, the media is still often used for political interests or other interests through the titles or news content they make. To anticipate this, the general public should equip themselves with the capabilities of media literacy and digital literacy, so that they  cannot choose a media that is suitable for consumption in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 where the media has developed into digital domain.

The article refers to the principles of “appropriate attitude to the media” formulated by Father Professor Leon Dyczewski to contemporary marketing communication: advertising and public relations. In line with his recommendations, the issue of media education was taken up in relation to the knowledge and competence of advertising reception. Based on the research by Seth Ashley and colleagues a scale for measuring media literacy was developed, with particular emphasis on content creation techniques and reception of advertising. The model includes elements of knowledge measurement about 1) the ways in which media outlets effectively reach their audience, 2) messages & meanings of advertising, and 3) advertising representations and reality. The scale of Ashley and colleagues was extended to include additional media literacy measures. Two new components have been added: measures for self-assessment of media literacy (subjective media literacy) and the importance that receivers attach to media literacy.

Venture industry itself is risky, full of surprises and requires attention. Information is a new air, but it can be used in different ways, and sometimes might be harmful for the market. COVID-19 is a perfect example that happened only half a year ago: internet and media were overdosed with materials predicting the future of all VC industry and startups market. Eventually, all this data could influence a company with premature decisions and intensify the crisis. That’s why it is crucially important to define and understand the media landscape. For this purpose, one of the methods of automatized linguistics is being used – sentiment-analysis. During the study, we confirmed the hypothesis of changes in the dynamics of emotional coloring of investors’ publications under the influence of difficult-to-predict events in the long run. The main trends in terms of geography, investment industries, investment stage and average investment were described. In addition, a parallel with 2008 was found, which is another signal of the approaching new economic crisis. The results of the study are of high public importance, as they revealed the problem of the lack of resilience of the industry to emotional shocks and viral spread among participants in the ecosystem. Depending on the studied data sections, investors and founders of startups are able to properly adjust their long-term development strategies.

The presence of “fake news” and potentially manipulative content in the media is nothing new, but this area has largely expanded with the emergence of the Internet and digital media, thus opening itself up to anyone who has online access. As a result, there is an increasing amount of such content in the media, especially in digital media. This paper deals with the perception of fake news and potentially manipulative content by various generations—in particular, the perceptions of the young and the middle-aged generations, with the focus being on their ability to recognise, verify, and relate to such content. The results of this study were gained by means of a qualitative methodology applied to focus groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The results are presented through a thematic analysis of the differences in perception of “fake news” between these generations, firstly in terms of their apprehension and interpretation of it, and secondly in terms of their relation to it. The authors conclude that both generations lack competence concerning media literacy, and that providing education in the field of digital media might offer a long-term solution for building resistance to “fake news” for future generations.

Abstract As a resourced based economy, Malaysia relies heavily on the energy oil, and gas industry - a critical sector contributing to the economic growth of the Malaysian economy; which makes up in the range of 20% - 25% of the total gross domestic product (GDP) of Malaysia as of 2017. No analysts can properly predict prices of the future, with the highs and lows of crude and natural gas and renewables as the fuel of the future and are perhaps new way of things. This "new normal" in which countries, including Malaysia, must learn to adapt in a more agile manner to the "new way of work" of increased productivity and efficiency (de Graauw, McCreery, & Murphy, 2015). In adapting to the new normal, measures of increased productivity must continue to be pushed forward and implemented. Energy companies and services provider still need to continue with exploration and development (E&P) operations and activities to meet long term strategic objectives and demands of the nation, in line with the aspirations of the national oil company, however, it needs to add more value to every dollar spent as margins have continued to shrink and reduce profit margins of energy producers. This is where Digital Transformation comes into play and the urgency for implementation has gone from novelty solutions to critical business survival. Changing industry trends such as Industrial Revolution 4.0 have made it more prevalent than ever to make better use of capital at a time when productivity is essential. At the same time, the industry needs to continue to explore and develop to meet long-term demands, which continues to grow albeit slower than before.

The Industry 4.0 or the Fourth Industrial Revolution has provided a paradigm shift towards the way of work. The emergence of millennial groups that avoid attachment, give birth to a new working relationship called atypical work. This type of employment relationship means that the employment relationship between the employer and the worker without the existence of a long-term work contract, the provision of additional facilities, salaries and pensions, or other benefits that are usually obtained by typical workers. The atypical worker relationship is outside the context of the employment relationship as referred to in Law No.13 of 2003 on Employment. This study discussed about 1) What is the position of employers and workers in atypical work relations? 2) What is the legal protection for atypical workers in the Industry 4.0 in the future? This research is a normative legal research that examines the void of norms regarding legal protection of atypical workers. The legal material in this study consists of primary and secondary legal materials. The legal materials are collected through literature study. The problem analysis is done qualitatively. The position of employers and workers in atypical work relations is equivalent based on agreements made between the parties. This condition requires a high literacy of rights and obligations in the employment field. The legal protection for atypical workers in the Industry 4.0 in the future is to provide economic, social and technical protection to the workforce.

‘´A new education program for the future´ is set in a time when, even though the SDGs have not been achieved in the time allocated for them, working towards the goals and aspirations expressed in them remains as important as ever. Insight into the interconnected nature of society, health and environment and the need for long-term, transdisciplinary thinking and action has led to the creation of a new health and sustainability Bachelor program. Transdisciplinary education and communication have become the new normal and one can feel an excitement growing from the exchange. The expanded understanding of healthcare that underpins this kind of education and practice amplifies critical question to physiotherapy as we move towards new healthcare futures: Will we hold on to physiotherapy as it always has been, or will we change it? Will we oppose or contribute to the creation of new approaches to healthcare practice and education? What will be our contributions to the complex social and environmental challenges of healthcare today and in the future? What futures are we willing to imagine, and which ones are we willing to help come to life?
