La confianza se ha convertido en un importante desafío para la banca en Internet. El hecho de que muchas personas aún no adopten Internet para realizar sus operaciones bancarias, se debe entre otras causas, a la poca confianza que aún existe hacia este sistema. Esta desconfianza, podría estar relacionada con la familiaridad y con el grado de seguridad que las personas perciben de este sistema bancario. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el efecto que la familiaridad y la seguridad percibida tienen sobre la confianza hacia la banca en Internet. Las hipótesis planteadas, se contrastan a través de un modelo estructural, construido a partir de una serie de constructos fiables y válidos. Las principales conclusiones de este estudio, son que tanto la familiaridad como la seguridad percibida, tienen un efecto directo y positivo sobre la confianza. Al final del estudio, se presentan las implicaciones que estos resultados pudieran tener para la gestión de los factores determinantes de la confianza hacia la banca en Internet.

Ghanaian education industry, especially at the tertiary level has witnessed progressive growth over the years. As a result of this, technology is required to sustain this progress since technology has become a powerful tool for women to further their education without experiencing any role conflict. However, of great concern are the challenges such as gender imbalance, the high cost of tertiary education, women's inability to secure ICT equipment. Based on this, the study examined the relationship between Internet Technology (IT) accessibility and women's tertiary education in Tamale. The quantitative case study was adopted as research design and using purposive sampling procedure also supported by simple random sampling for data collection. A chi-square test was employed to examine the causal relationship between internet technology availability and women's education accessibility. It was discovered that there is a strong positive relationship between internet availability and women's accessibility to tertiary education. The study also disclosed satisfactory ICT infrastructure, the growth of internet usage for learners pursuing tertiary education. Gender imbalance, the high cost of tertiary education, women's inability to secure ICT equipment and the role conflict between domestic and tertiary education were also discovered. Based on these findings, the study recommends the construction of a strong and resilient Fiber Optic System (FOS) should be treated as a top priority by the National Communication Authority (NCA). To achieve this objective, there should be Public Private Participation (PPP) so as to ensure cost-sharing between the government and the private sector and also prevent the overburdening of either the public or the private sector. Universities should consider incorporating e-learning systems as part of the medium of instruction so as to address the role conflict which normally occurs between women's domestic chores and their urge for advanced and further educational pursuit.

The article analyzes some of the features of the new language — the language of virtual communication, which functions in colloquial discourse. The authors of the article made an attempt to identify the sources of the formation of the language of the virtual space, to determine the linguistic mechanisms that determine the lexical and grammatical changes in the language of "Newspeak". It was revealed that one of the most productive sources of new vocabulary and the rules for its functioning is the English language, therefore the authors of the article compared some linguistic processes occurring in English with the processes observed in the Russian-language segment of the spoken Internet discourse. In the course of the analysis of the empirical material, it was revealed that the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet is currently being actively replenished with borrowings from the English language, in particular, slang expressions from the IT sphere. The authors of the article came to the conviction that the process of replenishing the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet from the thesaurus of English slang is a global process, which is a kind of "linguistic feed" for the entire Russian-speaking colloquial Internet discourse. Moreover, the abundance of Anglicisms in the Russian language contributes to the activation of two important word-formation processes — errativization and Internet abbreviation. The first process is due to the gravitation of the language of network communication to change words according to the principle of a language game, in particular, to phonetic writing ("krasafcheg", "lead"). Note that the formation of errativs is fully characteristic of the English language, which, in turn, may indicate the process of errativization as a universal linguistic phenomenon. The second process of forming a new layer of Internet vocabulary can be considered abbreviation (including abbreviations and graphons). This word-formation process in Russian colloquial discourse is realized through colloquial abbreviations, especially of an occasional nature or created by tracing. We also noted the role of Russian syntactic derivation, which is similar to the English derivational model. The authors of the article also drew attention to the activation of the deverbatization process, which is similar in grammatical characteristics to the gerund in English. The authors of the work come to the conclusion that the activation of word-formation processes in the language of network communication is directly related, firstly, to the fact of constant reception of words from the English language, and secondly, to the process of the influence of language models of the English language on the word-formation system of the Russian language.

The policies of national and regional government facilitate access to ICT in the country, especially in education and increasing computer equipment, tablets and Internet in Colombian households, generating that the age at which children start in using the Internet and social networks is declining. Children and teachers are instructed in the use of these technologies, but there is a knowledge gap in the proper use of the information on these platforms. The project Insecurity in socialnetworks and the Internet was created with the purpose of creating a space for training through awareness and use of ICT as a social component to the fortaleciento digital awareness in infants in educational institutions. This project is aimed at grades 4th and 5th of educational institutions in the province of Ocaña, Colombia. The results obtained through a diagnostic tool shows the ignorance of best practices in the proper management of these platforms, thisbecause of the ignorance of people including children in the world of technology. It is not enough to provide schools and households with ICT resources, if users are not trained in baths of correct and safe use of the information used in these spaces. What happens in the virtual world can affect the real world. ; Las políticas del gobierno nacional y regional facilitan el acceso a las TIC en el país, especialmente en la educación y, el aumento de equipos de computo, tablets y conexión a Internet en los hogares colombianos, generando que la edad en que los niños se inician en el uso del Internet y las redes sociales sea cada vez menor. Los niños y profesores son instruídos en el uso de estas tecnologías, pero queda un vacío de conocimiento en el uso adecuado de la información en estas plataformas. El proyecto Inseguridad en las redes sociales e Internet surge con el propósito de crear un espacio de formación en las instituciones educativas a través de la sensibilización y el uso de las TIC como componente social para el fortaleciento de la conciencia digital en los infantes que ...

The European Union (EU) member states are faced with a significant gap between availability of high-speed broadband and the share of households subscribed to such Internet access. This paper investigates the determinants of Internet users' willingness to pay (WTP) for next-generation access (NGA) in Slovenia. Following the EU Digital Agenda target whereby all households should have Internet access of at least 30 Mbps by 2020, the WTP for an Internet speed of 30 Mbps is analysed. The results show that characteristics relating to the current use of Internet services and characteristics of Internet users both play an important role in explaining the WTP for NGA In particular, the presence of a student or pupil in the household, household income, subscription to mobile broadband and the quality of Internet services positively influence the WTP decision, while respondents that are employed or are already subscribed to fibre have lower WTP The results of our analysis may help Internet service providers and policymakers identify remedies which can reduce the demand gap for NGA networks.
