It is observed that internet addiction, which causes deterioration in the personal, social and academic areas of the individual, is more common in the young population who are curious about developing technology and have a higher tendency to use technology. Therefore, our research was conducted with 498 university students studying at various faculties of Kirsehir Ahi Evran University (351=female, 147=male). The purpose of this research; The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between internet addiction, mindfulness and boredom, and the predictive role of mindfulness and boredom on internet addiction. As a result of the research, it was found that internet addiction has a negative and low-level significant relationship with mindfulness; It was found that there is a positive low level significant relationship with boredom. As a result of the regression analysis, it was determined that mindfulness and boredom predicted internet addiction by 9%. Internet use is thought to be a negative coping strategy with leisure boredom. It can be said that the risk of internet addiction will decrease when we use mindfulness practices in order to develop positive coping strategies with boredom.

To prepare today's students confidently for the future, it is necessary to equip them with different skills. Among these skills, 21st-century skills and computational thinking skills are crucial. While there are views suggesting that computational thinking skills contribute to the development of 21st-century skills, the relationship between these two skill sets remains uncertain. This study aims to examine the relationship between middle school students' computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills. In other words, it investigates whether there is a relationship between students' computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills and whether computational thinking skills serve as a meaningful predictor of 21st-century skills. Conducted with the participation of 328 eighth-grade students using a correlational survey design, this research employed the "Computational Thinking Scale" and the "21st-Century Skills Scale" to collect data, which were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient analysis, and multiple linear regression analysis. The research findings indicate that students have a high perception of both computational thinking and 21st-century skills. Moreover, a positive and significant relationship was found between computational thinking skills and 21st-century skills. The study also reveals that the abstraction, decomposition, algorithmic thinking, evaluation, and generalization skills that constitute computational thinking significantly predict 21st-century skills, explaining 72% of the variance in 21st-century skills. When examining the standardized regression coefficients, it can be concluded that evaluation, algorithmic thinking, generalization, decomposition, and abstraction skills are significant predictors of 21st-century skills in order of importance.

Doğal afetler, toplumun devamı ve hayatta kalması için tehdit oluşturan önemli olaylardır. Doğal felaketler, geniş çapta hasara, kayıplara ve aksamaya neden olduklarında afet haline dönüşmektedir (Khan, Vasilescu ve Khan, 2008). Afetlerin çoğu, öncesinde çok az belirti göstererek veya aniden meydana gelmektedir. Bu nedenle afetlerin önceden tahmin edilmesi son derece zordur. Ancak, etkili afet planları ve yönetim stratejileri ile insanların etkilenme potansiyeli azaltılabilir. Son birkaç yıldır acil durum yöneticileri ve afet araştırmacıları, afetleri anlamak ve yönetmek için dört aşamalı bir sınıflandırma (azaltma, hazırlık, müdahale ve iyileştirme) sistemi oluşturmuş, bu şekilde afetlere müdahale etmeye başlamıştır (Neal, 1997).

Metaverse is a combination of the words "meta" and "universe". It is expressed as “a three-dimensional virtual world in which the characters called avatars engage in social, economic, political and cultural activities” (Wiederhold, 2022). Computer-generated “meta universe, collective space in virtuality, life diary, mirror world, ubiquitous universe, embodied internet: space for simulation and collaboration” has been expressed through many concepts (Bruun & Stentoft, 2019; William, 2018; Kyle). , 2021).According to the Wall Street Journal, the metaverse is "a virtual world where our digital avatars and people in our communities and around the world come together to work, shop, attend classes, pursue hobbies, enjoy social gatherings, and more." (Wiederhold, 2022). A “metaverse” post-reality universe includes users who bring the digital world and physical reality together at a common point. “Metaverse” addresses the main limitations of 2D e-learning (web-based) tools related to online distance education (Mystakidis, 2022). The concept of metaverse emerged after more than twenty years and is generally expressed as an embodied version of the internet. Today, individuals will be able to discover the Metaverse thanks to "virtual reality" or "augmented reality" technologies, just as we can do our operations with the help of a cursor at the beginning of the internet.

The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic across Africa, like in many other parts of the world has been varied but as a continent it has served to propel what was already an observable trend–a steady increase in internet usage–owing to greater access to mobile phone and smartphone technology, tablets, laptops and affordable data. Africa has witnessed a sixfold increase in the number of people using the internet between 2010 and 2022, with currently about 565 million online users. Those in the formal employment sector, who were forced to work from home due to social distancing regulations, as well as an increased number of people online generally, contributed to more social interactions and other services being conducted online.

The development of computing technology in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made it possible that even the current artificial intelligence can not only replace human intelligence in some areas, but can also surpass it with a great advantage. If artificial intelligence can beat any chess player, including world champions, by such a margin that it wins all chess games, the question naturally arises whether artificial intelligence can replace humans in some other intellectual activities, for example in the field of law. This contribution attempts to outline both the performance capabilities of current computing technology and the possibilities of using artificial intelligence to decide in the legal cases in sports arbitration. In doing so, it highlights the strengths and weaknesses of artificial intelligence, the difficulties of its use in sports arbitration, and also suggests possibilities for further developments in this area.

Artificial intelligence and digital transformation are two important concepts that are often connected. Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of computer systems to perform tasks that require human thinking and decision-making, while digital transformation refers to the application of digital technologies to change the way organizations operate. Recently, artificial intelligence has become a key factor in digital transformation, as it can provide great value in automating and improving business processes, optimizing work, and increasing efficiency. Digital transformation is characterized by multidisciplinarity, and digital technology is the driving force, not the essence of digital transformation. The development of digital technologies has enabled, that is, intensified the mass application of artificial intelligence – AI. In order for the digital transformation to be successful, it should be supported by the application of artificial intelligence, and at the same time, this also means a lean methodological approach to artificial intelligence, because the lean methodology and artificial intelligence are in a synergistic relationship that helps the successful development of business organizations.

The article deals with issues related to the definition of cybercrime, the ways in which crime manifestsitself in cyberspace, types of cybercrime, creating a profile of criminals in cyberspace. As in traditional criminal investigation, cybercrime profiling is a key component in cybercrime investigations as well. One of the components of this model is the theory by which it will be possible to describe, explain and subsequently predict not only criminal professionalism as a social phenomenon, but also the personality of a modern cybercriminal.

The last ten years have seen a significant more than 10-fold increase in the number of cyber-attacks worldwide, resulting in an extremely large number of computer records being exposed to unauthorised persons. However, studies by independent international organisations reveal that 95% of these attacks exploiting security breaches could have been prevented. This paper reviews the main international and national standards related to the establishment of security policies and data processing procedures that are able to prevent cyber attacks on personal data, especially in the context of the Internet of Things. The analysis is a qualitative one aimed at highlighting best practices through security policies and processing procedures.

The aim of this article is to analyze the impact and changes brought by new technologies in international arbitration procedures, what are the prospects for the future development of these tools in a fast-paced environment and how participants are expected to adapt in these off-the chain disputes. The results obtained through the comparative method are relevant for professionals involved in international arbitration. Furthermore, we will analyze the potential disputes arising out of the technology itself and how are these technologies going to shape decision making on a short, medium and long term. We will refer to the manner in which the leading institutions in arbitration and dispute resolution services position themselves. Lastly, we will refer to the potential issues of the parties’ acceptance of the “digital justice” and the prospect of autonomous enforceable arbitral awards.

The scientific community has been discussing for a long time about the potential of creating an artificial, non-biological, impartial machine with human intelligence, considering that such an innovation with emotional - and not only computational - intelligence could bring many benefits to society, including the legal world. Recently introduced (November 2022) in a more publicly accessible form, the ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) technology is one such artificial intelligence application, part of the OpenAI project, and is essentially built as a conversational interface with the potential to deliver results in a human-like manner. As an artificially intelligent chat-bot, ChatGPT has several functions subsumed to its use and performance, that are rather extensive, and there is a concern whether the ChatGPT technology may be used for judicial decision-making, in which context arises the question whether it can also be hijacked in order to commit criminal offences. The answer is positive, but accepting this fact raises some possible issues in criminal law enforcement practice such as establishing the guilt, the dialogue with the personal nature of the criminal liability, adapting the criminal sanction system to the specific environment of commission, and others, discussed in this article. ChatGPT is certainly the chat-bot of the moment and perhaps even of the year 2023. Formal artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its infancy, but despite its limitations, the ChatGPT technology can already be considered impressive in its timeliness and evolution compared to other automated chats or applications of robotics, as it has the capacity to communicate credibly and convincingly, as a human interlocutor and in real time.

The word you will find in the interface is to understand the concept of a person and what skills a being must have to be a person. This material also examines the religious perspective on the issue announced in the title. Manufacturers and computer scientists involved in building and training robots for consumers will need to consider the distribution market sector and by implication, the beliefs of the people who are to use this type of artificial intelligence as a tool. In the biblical account of man, it is said that man was created by God by a triumphant counsel: 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness', and by making a person capable of communication, it means that he is a person, because communication makes you a person, but a freely consented communication. The concept of a person has evolved over time so that in the Greek period the man who was not free could only express himself behind a mask, as in the performance of a character in a play today, then in the Roman world, as a man who was not free could only express himself by having a patron who gave social witness for the man to express himself freely. So, freedom of expression was an ability of the human person, of a natural person in the legal sense. The article tries to expose the chosen topic from the perspective of two authors with their particular opinions: the professor of law in communications and new technologies who sees the objective whole of things and the eminent student, Orthodox priest who comes up with particularly interesting arguments. In the preparation of this material, we used an introspective method with qualitative and quantitative values.

Current national liability rules are not adequate to deal with liability claims for damage caused by AI-based products and services. The specificity of AI systems, their complexity and especially their autonomy and opacity (the so-called "black box" effect) make it difficult for victims to identify who is liable and to prove liability claims. The European Commission's AI policies propose a holistic approach to liability, aiming at adaptations of product liability under the Product Liability Directive and specific harmonisation under the Proposal for a Directive on the adaptation of non-contractual liability rules to artificial intelligence. These two initiatives complement each other to form an effective global civil liability system. They respond to the scenarios in which the risks envisaged by the general framework provided by the Proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonised rules on artificial intelligence (AI Act) materialise. This paper proposes a first incursion into the liability frameworks for damage caused by AI systems as set out in the Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the adaptation of the rules on non-contractual civil liability to artificial intelligence (the AI Liability Directive).

New digital technologies, especially tools for gathering information about persons and legal entities, are inevitable in modern public administration. State financial services and the tax administration represent one of the most critical parts of the administrative bodies, creating vast databases of personal and economic data. The exploitation of various software tools, including artificial intelligence for collecting, grouping and evaluating data sets, poses questions about the legal responsibility of the public administration when using such efficient but also assailable tools to intrude into personal and business privacy and space. The paper examines the new trend in the European Union for utilising digital technologies for public financial services. Based on the Czech tax control experience, the paper highlights the procedure's possible risks and weak spots. The paper points out possible benefits both for addressees and public authorities. The paper focuses on the responsibility of the public authority for the accuracy, completeness, and protection of registered data. The authors underline the specifics of the legal responsibility for introducing artificial intelligence into state financial services. The paper concludes with business and legal practice proposals when interacting with public financial administration. The authors examine the mentioned challenges through desk research and analyses of European and national legal regulations. In their considerations and proposals, the authors also lean on their practical experience with public administration.
