The possibility that computers, in particular, personal computers, can be used for harmful actions affecting global computer systems as a whole, due to two main reasons: (1) hardware and / or software failures, which are caused by problems related to their manufacture which must be solved by their respective manufacturers and (2) failures due to actions or inactions of their users, in particular people with low computer skills, people of very low age groups, e.g. children, or very old age groups, e.g. ageing people, or others without a minimum of computer skills. This problem is aggravated by the continuous proliferation of equipment, namely mobile devices, IOT devices and others that have Internet connectivity, namely through a browser. There are the possible ways in the area of cyber education that can contribute to cyber resilience of society and these are developed in this work.

Nursing has embraced flexible online advanced education as a means of increasing the supply of nurse professionals. Virtual simulation and other adaptive learning technologies enhance learning efficiency and student outcomes. A simulated electronic health record (DocuCare) was adopted in an online graduate nursing informatics course. An assignment using DocuCare to learn core concepts of nursing informatics was developed for graduate students enrolled in a nursing informatics course. A validated standard informatics survey instrument was used to measure three individual domains (basic computer skills, roles, and advanced computer skills (clinical informatics)) as well as the combined informatics competency level. Overall, the nursing informatics competency level was between competent and proficient; basic computer skills and roles were above proficient; and advanced computer skills (clinical informatics) fell between competence and proficient levels.

<p><em>Learning media as a tool to create an effective teaching and learning situation and to improve the quality of student learning. This study aims to (1) facilitate students visually in computer learning (2) efforts to optimize the absorption of concrete information for children with special needs in computer learning. The lack of availability of teaching materials that suit the needs of children with special needs in computer skills subjects makes teaching staff have to innovate with teaching materials from public schools. This learning module was developed to overcome the problems experienced by teachers and students. The results of this study are expected to be a benchmark for teaching staff in delivering material to students and can improve skills in learning computer skills of students at SLB Negeri Balikpapan.</em></p>

Wikidata, a community-curated knowledge base related to Wikipedia, affects our access to information, wielding more power than many realize. Seeing an opportunity for improving access to knowledge and promoting their collections, libraries, archives, and other cultural heritage institutions have been experimenting with Wikidata in various ways. One burgeoning area of activity is in Wikidata’s scholarly citation data, but that participation has largely concentrated in the sciences, leaving a gap in its theological and religious studies coverage. This presentation demonstrates how this gap matters to theological libraries and shows how you can contribute to efforts to fill it, even in small ways. Delving into Wikidata can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. As long as you have basic computer skills, you can find a way to participate.

The purpose of this community service is to improve basic computer skills based on the Microsoft Office application for students of SMK Negeri 3 Merauke. This community service method used training with material presentation techniques and questions and answers. The training participants were 34 students of class X Multimedia Department. There were 2 (two) activities carried out, namely: the preparation of a Microsoft office training manual and a questionnaire response to training participants as well as the implementation of basic computer training activities online. The instruments used are response questionnaires and activity documentation. The results of this community service activity indicate that overall each indicator of the response of basic computer training participants is in the 'good' and 'very good' categories. The average percentage of responses is 98.23 which is included in the 'very good' category.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether video modeling is effective in teaching computer skills to students with intellectual disabilities. The study was designed with the multiple probe design across subjects, one of the single-subject research designs. The study was conducted with three female students with intellectual disabilities, who were 17&ndash;19 years old. Graphical analysis was used to analyze the data. The results show that video modeling was effective for them to acquire and retain skills for preparing a r&eacute;sum&eacute;, printing it out, and emailing it. However, the students had difficulties generalizing some of the skills on different computers and printers. It can be said that the reason for this originates from different designs of technological tools. In line with this, it is thought that removing the accessibility barrier in technological equipment will increase availability. The video modeling motivated students to learn computer skills. The participants reported that they could use these skills to do homework, apply for a job, and communicate with friends.

Abstract Background. Several restrictive measures have been taken to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2, restricting the access to outpatient follow-ups, increasing waiting lists in chronic diseases, such as obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The aim of study is to evaluate the benefits and the barriers of telemedicine in a sleep clinic.Methods. Subjects with diagnosis of OSA treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were surveyed with a phone-questionnaire to assess the difficulties and knowledge of remote monitoring systems (telemedicine). Furthermore, the participants were divided into two groups according to the favor of telemedicine visits, POSITIVE (in-favor) and NEGATIVE (in favor of in-person visits) and compared with statistical methods.Results. Fifty-three OSA participants (85% men), aged 67,9±7,5 yrs and BMI 36,0±8,0 kg/m 2 were enrolled in the study. The comparison of POSITIVE (24/53) and NEGATIVE (29/53) groups showed some significant differences: knowledge of telemedicine (p=0,001), high education level (p=0,01) and high computer skills (p=0,001) are the main factors influencing the acceptance of telemedicine. In addition, 57% of overall participants seem more likely to conduct a remote visit in the future.Conclusions. Although telemedicine is a useful tool, a majority of patients in our study preferred in-person visits. However, they are willing to conduct telemedicine visits in the future, so our findings suggest that improving patient computer skills and updating technological systems in order to facilitate patients' access may be important strategies to boost acceptance of telemedicine.

Background: Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have improved the delivery of healthcare worldwide especially in disease control, patient management, and health data analysis. However, access to infrastructure like computers and knowledge of ICT is a major problem to various digital health initiatives among health professionals. Objective: The aim of the present study was, to assess healthcare workers' basic computer skills and use of social media and identify specific deficiencies that require training to help them function effectively. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among 51 healthcare workers in seven health centers in a region in Ghana over three months using a self-administered pre-tested questionnaire. Results: Half of the participants had adequate basic computer skills, of which 60.87% were women (P=0.0205). Only 15.69%, who were all males, of participants used computer software at least once a month. Most participants also used Facebook and WhatsApp. Conclusion: Health professionals in the health centers need to be trained on basic computer skills and, information technology should be incorporated into the health systems for efficient health delivery.
