Description:

The paper is focused on the quality of life of university students in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Spain and its indicators and predictors. University students represent a specific demographic group due to a combination of age, education, and health. Paper has several goals. The first goal is to determine the value of the quality of life of university students in the mentioned countries and to determine the degree of their similarity/difference. The second goal is to compare their quality of life with the quality of life in individual countries. The third goal is to investigate which of the indicators have an impact on the quality of life, and thus are its predictors. Two scientific questions are formulated. Firstly, we are interested in whether there will be a difference between quality of life in Central European countries and Western European Spain. Secondly, we aim to find which predictors there are in common in the studied countries. In other words, we examine what the Quality of Life of university students in five countries is and what determines it to be the way it is.

Description:

The integration of robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) into education has become increasingly significant as digital technology evolves. This paper explores the historical development and current trends in digital culture education, emphasizing the need for a STEAM-based (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) approach. The study argues that the inclusion of robotics in education does not necessitate the introduction of new subjects but rather an adaptation of existing methodologies. We propose a structured framework for integrating robotics into current educational curricula, emphasizing interdisciplinary learning and problemsolving skills. The conclusions suggest that moving beyond traditional subject boundaries can foster a more holistic and effective learning environment.

Description:

Every society has its own characteristics, shaped from time to time by the various innovative, disruptive, but in any case, dynamically changing mechanisms that affect it most. In today's society, technological innovation plays a major role in the development of individuals and their abilities. Education is the most typical and obvious arena for shaping, developing, and preparing for the challenges of the future. As in the leading sectors, in the world of education, rapid responses and immediate reactions to change significantly increase the ability to achieve and maintain success and thus marketability. As a sector responsible for developing the competences of individuals, building knowledge and training professionals, education should seek to keep pace with trends and break with traditional approaches and methods, so that, in addition to incorporating technological developments, a renewed approach to organizational development and methodology is an important means of achieving the desired success and effectiveness. In the course of our work, we provide a summary insight into the project work of student groups who require up-to-date IT skills, use advanced IT tools, plan, and implement their web development workflows supported by database management, front-end planning and design, and back-end programming with a project management approach according to the latest trends, interpreting the advantages and disadvantages of working methods for success.

Description:

To make machines emotionally more intelligent, it is necessary to choose the right measuring devices that are able to collect physiological biosignals, which can be used to recognize the emotional state of the user. These devices should not restrict the users in their everyday life, therefore commercial, non-invasive Internet of Things (IoT) devices must be used. Thanks to the interoperability of IoT devices, it is possible to send the obtained data to a server, where it can be used in the predict method of a trained machine learning algorithm. Based on the recognized emotion, it is possible to create different instructions for smart home elements.

Description:

In present, the field of Internet of Things (IoT) is experiencing significant development, as evidenced by the everincreasing number of connected devices equipped with various sensors and controllers. These devices have become an integral part of smart homes, offering numerous benefits. Paradoxically, their growing popularity also brings an increased risk of vulnerabilities that threaten the security and privacy of users. This paper focuses on analysing common IoT devices used in smart homes to identify weaknesses and propose measures for improving their protection. This will involve evaluating security tests and providing recommendations for securing the devices and safeguarding their users. The proposed solutions and recommendations will assist users in better understanding potential threats and protecting their devices from unauthorized access and the leakage of sensitive information. This research approach contributes to enhancing the security and privacy of IoT device users in smart homes.

Description:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a ubiquitous technology that has the potential to revolutionize many industries. However, AI requires access to vast amounts of data to achieve its full potential. By understanding these data sources and the best practices for working with them, we can unlock the full potential of AI and create groundbreaking solutions that benefit society as a whole. Data sources can be utilized to train AI algorithms, including structured and unstructured data, but finding relevant datasets is challenging. The main problem is the international sources. Most of the datasets are available only in English or other common languages. However these are good sources, but translating them is expensive and time-consuming. This paper shows how to generate own datasets from open-source data with translation.

Description:

PREFACE The use of various digital and smart devices and systems has also become more and more part of people's daily lives, with the emergence of the human-machine interface as a tool to help them work in various activities. Digitalisation is one of the most significant trends and tendencies of our time, and can be seen as the next step in globalisation [1]. Media literacy is an umbrella term, similar to ICT [2] and new media phenomena have become increasingly visible. Digital technology-enhanced literacy, mediated by ICT systems, is thus playing an increasingly important role, with a growing impact on society, the economy and education, and its transformative effects. The essence of these phenomena is that the new cultural form is created and exists on a digital platform [3].Mobile technology, ambient intelligence, digital games, big data-based technologies and algorithms are an integral part of this world [4]. The study and systematisation of the digital transformative effects of all these phenomena is becoming increasingly vital and has a growing impact on the learning process. On the one hand, the process of digitalisation serves as an internal driving force for digital work-based educational processes, and on the other hand, it represents a major challenge for the different actors in educational systems and for learners.
