The rapid development of computer and information technology is changing the face of the modern world, making it more and more sensitive to innovation. Changing technologies are having an increasingly rapid impact on the development of digital skills and literacy skills. The transition to a new technological order changes the gender balance of personnel in all spheres of life. Analyzing the gender dimensions of digital literacy and skills is important both from the point of view of social justice (unequal distribution of men and women in the exact and natural sciences) and from the point of view of improving the efficiency of the use of labor resources to ensure sustainable development.

<p><em>The rapid development of technology today should be the main key in efforts to develop students' abilities and skills in the field of education and the learning process in dealing with the world of technology and information. The support and role of education is expected to increase the nation's competitiveness in the midst of global competition. The openness of information technology should be balanced with the progress of good reading literacy, but in Indonesia in particular, reading literacy skills for children are still at the bottom. Therefore, the development of digital literacy is expected to be a benchmark and a supporting factor in the development of student knowledge that can be accessed by digital media around the environment such as mobile phones, computers, laptops, etc. This article proposes a new conceptual framework for the concept of digital literacy, combining five types of literacy: (a) photovisual literacy; (b) reproductive literacy; (c) information literacy; (d) branched literacy; and (e) socio-emotional literacy that can support knowledge development.</em></p>

The rapid development of information technology has expanded the capabilities of cyberthreads regarding computer systems. Cybercriminals are developing new ways to avoid attack detection, so existing approaches are not able to withstand the growing threat of attacks. Meanwhile, the consequences of cyberattacks are becoming more dangerous and destructive. One of the approaches to solve the problem is the construction of resilient systems that are able to quickly recover and continue to function under attack conditions. The subject of research is the construction process of the resilient computer systems in the face of cyber threats. The goal is to develop a taxonomy and ontology of resilient computer systems under cyberthreats. Results. The article presents the definitions of the resilience from the point of view of cybersecurity, presents the gap between the concepts of resilience and dependability. The paper presents the main elements of the taxonomic scheme of computer system resilience, which include threats (changes in the environment and requirements, network attacks, attacks on software, software and hardware vulnerabilities, errors, failures), information and technical conditions that computer system passes during its operating cycle, the principles on which resilience is based (proactivity, adaptability, resistance, diversity, elasticity, controlled degradation, defense in depth, ability to evolvability), as well as primary and secondary properties. Based on the above elements, a generalized taxonomic scheme of resilience related to information security has been developed. The work presents the operational cycle of a resilient CS as a set of information and technical states that the system goes through (preparation, system protection, threat detection, threat absorption, response to a threat, system recovery after a cyberattack, adaptation.) An ontology scheme of the resilience from the point of view of information security of computer systems in the presence of cyberthreats is developed. Conclusions A taxonomy and ontology of resilient computer systems in the presence of cyberthreats has been developed.

With the rapid development of Role-Playing Games (RPGs), players are now allowed to edit the facial appearance of their in-game characters with their preferences rather than using default templates. This paper proposes a game character auto-creation framework that generates in-game characters according to a player's input face photo. Different from the previous methods that are designed based on neural style transfer or monocular 3D face reconstruction, we re-formulate the character auto-creation process in a different point of view: by predicting a large set of physically meaningful facial parameters under a self-supervised learning paradigm. Instead of updating facial parameters iteratively at the input end of the renderer as suggested by previous methods, which are time-consuming, we introduce a facial parameter translator so that the creation can be done efficiently through a single forward propagation from the face embeddings to parameters, with a considerable 1000x computational speedup. Despite its high efficiency, the interactivity is preserved in our method where users are allowed to optionally fine-tune the facial parameters on our creation according to their needs. Our approach also shows better robustness than previous methods, especially for those photos with head-pose variance. Comparison results and ablation analysis on seven public face verification datasets suggest the effectiveness of our method.

Problem setting. Ukraine continues its integration processes with the international community, in particular, with the European Union and NATO. But comprehensive integration leads to the fact that Ukraine is forced to integrate into the negative processes from which the modern world suffers and with which it tries to fight. With the rapid development of the Internet, its use with criminal intent is probably developing at the same rate. Novelty, level of danger, volumes of received and future possible losses of this type of crime contributed to the formation of such a dangerous phenomenon as cyberterrorism. Accordingly, there is a new task  for world scientists – to understand the essence of the concept of cyberterrorism most accurately and generally, to explore its deep aspects, to develop a single conceptual apparatus and to propose a system of preventive measures. Recent research and publications analysis. The topic of information terrorism within the Ukrainian cyberspace, as well as its inseparable interaction with the world wide web, theoretical aspects of this phenomenon, disclosure of concepts related to cybercrime are covered in the publications of such domestic researchers as S. Hnatyuk, О. Gerashchenko, V. Ostroukhov, M. Prysyazhnyuk, I. Diorditsa, O. Trofimenko, Yu. Prokop, I. Aristova, V. Tsymbalyuka, O. Zadereiko, O. Bogdanov, O. Drozhchan, M. Gutsalyuk and others. A number of well-known foreign scientists and philosophers have devoted their works to the study of the phenomenon of terrorism in the context of globalization and the rapid development of information and communication technologies, in particular E. Toffler, B. Hoffman, A. Schmid, D. Bell, J. Baudrillard, E. Giddens, F. Fukuyama and others. Paper objective. This article aims to formulate a generalized definition of "cyberterrorism", its key elements, sources, features of implementation, specificity and classification through the method of deduction (derivation of true knowledge from the general term "terrorism" to specific - "cyberterrorism"). Paper main body. The opinion of domestic and foreign scientists on the concept of cyberterrorism is analyzed. Based on the considered opinions, the authors try to show the peculiarities of cyberterrorism and reveal its danger to society as a whole and individuals. Finally, the authors turn to the analysis of Ukrainian legislation on cyberterrorism. Conclusions of the research. Taking into account all the mentioned above, the state should introduce appropriate training systems for integrated skills and abilities that are necessary to support the goals of cybersecurity in secondary and higher schools, conduct cybersecurity briefings, increase digital literacy and the culture of safe behavior in cyberspace, as well as timely report about new threats and ways to avoid them.

Global technological advancement is changing information dissemination among literates and non-literates. This new development seems to be influencing the definition of literacy. The current paper discusses the changing paradigm from the old perspective of literacy to a new literacy, which is radically affecting every sphere of life, especially education. This position paper shows how this new literacy, driven by ICT (Information and Communication Technology), is shaping the character of the human being, and determining the ways through which knowledge and skills are acquired, thus influencing new expeditions of the school curriculum. This paper attempts a deconstruction of the different arguments advanced for ICT-driven literacy and education. While agreeing that some adverse effects and constraints come along with these new technologies, I am convinced that their dominance is inevitable. As such, the earlier educational stakeholders embrace this new concept and equip the learner with modern literacy skills, the better it would be for the collective benefits of instructors and learners.

Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara semi terstruktur terhadap tujuh ibu milenial yang berdomisili di beberapa kota besar di Indonesia, seperti Jakarta, Surabaya, dan Banjarmasin. Hasil dari penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa secara keseluruhan, kecakapan literasi digital mayoritas ibu milenial berada di tingkat sedang. Tingkat ini dipengaruhi oleh minat terhadap isu kesehatan tertentu serta pengalaman dari masing-masing ibu. Tingkat kecakapan literasi digital seorang ibu dapat mempengaruhi perilaku mereka sehari-hari. Lebih lanjut, temuan elemen penyebaran informasi dalam praktik literasi digital para ibu menambah kekayaan konsep dari literasi itu sendiri. The rapid development of digital technology made it easier for milenial generation mothers to get information online about child and family’s health. This information-seeking trend should be accompanied by excellent digital literacy skills to ensure accuracy in sorting out information. This study tried to describe the digital literacy competency of milenial mothers in accessing information related to child and family’s health. The research method used is digital ethnography with a post-positivist paradigm. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with seven milenial mothers living in several major cities in Indonesia, including Jakarta, Surabaya, and Banjarmasin. The results of this study showed that the digital literacy skills of milenial mothers were at a moderate level. This level was influenced by their interest in specific health issues and their experiences.  Their level of digital literacy skills could possibly affect their daily behavior. Furthermore, the finding about the element of information dissemination element in this digital literacy practice would add to the richness of the literacy concept itself.

Abstract. The article discusses the emergence of a functional literacy construct and the rediscovery of illiteracy in industrialized countries during the second half of the 20th century. It offers a short explanation of how the construct evolved over time. In addition, it explores how functional (il)literacy is conceived differently by research discourses of cognitive and neural studies, on the one hand, and by prescriptive and normative international policy documents and adult education, on the other hand. Furthermore, it analyses how literacy skills surveys such as the Level One Study (leo.) or the PIAAC may help to bridge the gap between cognitive and more practical and educational approaches to literacy, the goal being to place the functional illiteracy (FI) construct within its existing scale levels. It also sheds more light on the way in which FI can be perceived in terms of different cognitive processes and underlying components of reading. By building on the previous work of other authors and previous definitions, the article brings together different views of FI and offers a perspective for a needed operational definition of the concept, which would be an appropriate reference point for future educational, political, and scientific utilization.

AbstractRapid development of community health information networks raises the issue of semantic interoperability between distributed and heterogeneous systems. Indeed, operational health information systems originate from heterogeneous teams of independent developers and have to cooperate in order to exchange data and services. A good cooperation is based on a good understanding of the messages exchanged between the systems. The main issue of semantic interoperability is to ensure that the exchange is not only possible but also meaningful. The main objective of this paper is to analyze semantic interoperability from a software engineering point of view. It describes the principles for the design of a semantic mediator (SM) in the framework of a distributed object manager (DOM). The mediator is itself a component that should allow the exchange of messages independently of languages and platforms. The functional architecture of such a SM is detailed. These principles have been partly applied in the context of the HEllOS object-oriented software engineering environment. The resulting service components are presented with their current state of achievement.

The article is devoted to the study of the worldviews and social contradictions in Russian society on the example of two different positions on the relationship between religion and science. According to one of these positions these relationships are defined as conflict. The second, opposing point of view says there never was and there cannot be any conflict between religion and science. In the publication such points are called “the paradigm of conflict” and “the paradigm of dialogue”. It shows, the first “paradigm” in the Soviet period of Russian history was determined by ideologization of science and was an important part of anti-religious propaganda. On the contrary, “the paradigm of dialogue” has always been represented primarily by religious thinkers. Today it is the official position of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The official Church document “The Basis of the Social Concept” says religion and science are designed to complement each other, especially in solving ethical problems that inevitably arise in the face of modern science. However, secular scientists often see in such statements the Church’s claims to active participation in the public life, including the educational process. Representatives of the academic community often speak out against the introduction of the theological educational programs and the theological departments in secular Universities of the Russian Federation. Thus, in contemporary Russian society some continue to believe that there is a conflict between religion and science, while others insist on the need for dialogue.
