Safety Awareness

Since the end of the 20th century the digital competence social and personal importance is increasingly heaves. Nowadays the basic level information technology knowledge is necessary because the penetration rate of the digital devices and the internet availability. Again the material world dangers the defense actions evolved. The cyber age started some decade ago. Civil people are not aware for attacks in the Cyber space and they can’t survey its danger. In Hungary the information technology and the internet penetration started in the last some decades. „Gen X” and older generation people users only in theirs adulthood met digital devices and its application. For the said generations to find a workplace was not required the digital competence, because the digital devices and the digital infrastructure wasn’t availability for everybody. This age-group has not enough motivation to improve the digital competence and herewith develop the safety awareness too. Nowadays this age-group needs significant helps to correspond to the challenge of the digital world. The digital competence and the safety awareness are improvable by the way of education. The knowledge levels are very different between the same age users. The assessment and the determination of the levels are a complex problem. Skills and routine levels of the users are approximately well determinable by questionnaire. The development of the different digital competence and safety awareness level user’s is workable by different knowledge transmission. I introduce in this paper like my research synthesis the assessment and the classification of the tested age-groups.

Guided by diffusion of innovation theory, this study compares patterns of connectedness and disconnectedness to the Internet and traditional media within and across select age groups (20–39, 40–59, and 60 or over) by conducting a randomly sampled survey in Tokyo, Japan. The oldest age group fell behind younger age groups not only in regards to ownership and access, but also the scope and intensity of Internet connectedness. Within age groups, disparities in Internet connectedness was found in the oldest age group, while disparities in connecting to television, newspapers and radio was found in the youngest and middle age groups. Mass media connectedness was found to have a negative relationship with PC Internet connectedness in the oldest age group. Implications for the evolution of media connectedness and disconnectedness across different generations are discussed.

Study Process

According to Central Statistical Bureau data of 2017 at least 46.8% of Latvian population are involved in educational activities. Such digital devices as computers (both desktop computers and laptop computers), tablets, smartphones, book readers, etc. and the internet directly or indirectly are used in both formal and non-formal education. Digital devices can be used in training or study process, or some part of it directly, as well as students or training participants may be assigned tasks to be performed with these devices – searching for information, reading and learning e-material, writing articles, etc. In addition to statistical data research, two e-polls were conducted for respondents who are computer users in different age groups. Respondents were asked about their habits in using the internet and digital devices, additional interest was about which of the digital tools are used and for what purposes these devices are used. All answers have been analysed. The survey results show that the responses provided by the participants of the sample group are very close to the whole population, both for the use of the Internet and digital devices. The results also show the purpose of using digital devices, especially in education, and which devices are most commonly used for each purpose. More than 90% of respondents use digital devices to get information. In order to participate successfully in e-learning and e-studies, users need both good e-skills and well-designed e-learning materials: high-quality content, comfortable, easy-to-understand and comprehensible text, suitable formatting parameters of text.

„2017 from within the EU the Internet access households ratio has risen to 87%, which is 32% points exceed the ten years ago, 2007 levels. In 2017, 85% of the EU households used broadband network, which is approximately the double of the 2007 ratio. We can read such and similar to this data in the report of Eurostat called "A digital economy and society statistics - households and individuals” report. Our lives are networked with the Internet and its digital tools - as it is proven clearly by the above data.But do we have the knowledge, ability and attitude to live digitally, not just at the tool-driven level, but to be active participants? Are we able to participate effectively, responsibly and productively in the networked digital world? Does our (widely interpreted) digital competence can follow the accelerated development of the digital, online tools?In this study, we discuss the question of how we can develop digital citizenship competence from our daily digital life. Meanwhile, we also discuss the role and potential of digital pedagogy which can give the opportunity for the practice and development of digital citizenship competence whether in a formal, informal or non-formal education system.

Digital world and digitalization are seen as a recently growing phenomenon. In line with digitalization, people are more exposed to digital zones. The usage rates of digital media products of especially children are observed to increase every year and to go down to earlier age groups. The age group 9 to 12 years is regarded as the period in which tablet usage increases and children encounter many different games and applications. In the children of abovementioned age group, communication disorders with their peers and environment may arise due to overuse of tablets. It is observed that an increase of tablet usage and increase of communication disorders are directly proportional.

Different Content

Our time is the time of rapid technological development. The Internet is becoming available to everyone, and it is expanding its influence in various fields. In addition, the number of users who are using the Internet and who are active consumers of different content is increasing. But the rapid development of technology has created new security problems. New types of threats are emerging, attack techniques are improving. Criminals are now trying to find their «victim»not only in the real world, but also in the digital world. So, today special attention is given to the issue of ensuring the user’s information security and user’s security in the digital world. One of the most vulnerable age groups are children. That is why one of the most important issues is the issue of protecting a child in such an environment. This article is devoted to the problem of information security of children and adolescents in our country. The article describes the main problem of the child in such an environment. On one hand, the virtual activity of the child is the key to its successful education. But, on the other hand, there are risks and problems in the digital world, such as access to prohibited content, that can cause harm to the mental health of a child. This article describes vulnerabilities in the information environment of students and educational institutions, as well as ways to counter the described vulnerabilities.

Information technology and the Internet are becoming increasingly important in daily life for acquiring knowledge or information. Unfortunately, although the population aged over 50 is increasing, many current websites are not suitable for their use (Payne, 2002; Ryu, Kim, & Lee, 2009). We constructed a research model based on the technology acceptance model (TAM; Davis, 1986) and analyzed acceptance of accessible page systems by people aged over 50, using the Taoyuan Gueishan Township Office website as a representative sample. Results revealed a strong inclination toward using the websites and most users rated the webpage as easy to use and said it was a positive learning experience. The tangible benefits of this study are that the requirements for websites by those in the 50+ age group are identified, web developers can use the results to design a suitable website, and thus the results could lead to the development of more accessible pages for those ages 50 and over.

SummaryCollagen mediated platelet aggregation caused -5.6 ± 6.7% inhibition and +39.1 ± 15.2% potentiation of prekallikrein activation in plasma from normal healthy volunteers between 20–40 and 50–65 years of age, respectively (n = 15, p <0.01). The amouns of platelet factor-four (PF4) released in the two groups were not significantly different. Collagen treatment in the presence of indomethacin caused +11.5 ± 3.6% and +59.6 ± 19.5% potentiation in the 20–40 and 50–65 age groups respectively (p <0.02). Adrenaline mediated platelet aggregation caused -55.2 ± 7.1% and -35.2 ± 8.3% inhibition in the 20–40 and 50–65 age groups, respectively. Collagen treatment of platelet-deficient-plasma and platelet-rich-plasma in EDTA also caused potentiation of prekallikrein activation.The results indicate that the observed degree of prekallikrein activation after platelet aggregation is a net result of the inhibitory effect of PF4 and the potentiatory effect of activated platelets. The potentiatory effect was greater after collagen treatment as compared to adrenaline treatment, and in the 50–65 age group as compared to the 20–40 age group.
