The results of the European Parliament Elections 2014 demonstrated a rise of Euroscepticism in the EU. The reasons of this are a lack of information about the EU in the Member States and insufficient mechanisms for debate and citizens' engagement in decision making. The analysts explain it also by the weakness of providing a forum for the development of common identity and legitimacy of the European public sphere. This thesis looks at media as mechanisms of the European public sphere. The thesis examines institutional models of two transnational audiovisual media on European affairs supported by the European Commission: the Euronews television and the Euranet Plus radio network. The author considers the roles of Euronews and Euranet Plus in the European public sphere and in attempting to reduce Euroscepticism. The thesis contains a comparative analysis of the two models and shows how the experience with Euronews has affected the development of Euranet Plus. The thesis makes use of interviews with representatives of the European Commission, media in Belgium and France and a field study at the editorial office of Euronews in Lyon-Ecully and at the editorial offices of Euranet Plus in Paris and Brussels that took place in May 2014.
Goal. Theoretical justification and development of a software and hardware stand in order to train future information security specialists in setting up modern wireless networks.
Work methodology or method. The study is based on scientific regulations of the practice-oriented learning organization. The competence-based approach was used as its methodological base, theoretical (comparison, analysis, generalization, concretization, modeling) methods were used. The development and implementation of a software and hardware stand in the educational process was carried out at Tyumen State University in 2021-2022 with the involvement of students from the “Computer Security” direction of training.
Results. The authors have developed and applied in the educational process a software and hardware laboratory stand that combines virtualization tools for software and hardware components of a computer network.
The stand is used to study the modern infrastructure of a computer network which is used in enterprises and companies by students of the “Computer Security” specialization. It can also be used while teaching modern wireless networks configuration for students of the directions: “Mathematical support and administration of information systems”, “Computer science and computer technology”, “Software engineering”.
On the basis of the stand a cycle of laboratory works was developed for senior students of the “Computer security” specialization as part of the study of the “Wireless computer networks security” discipline.
Scope of results. The results of the study can be applied in the field of training future IT-specialists in the higher education system.
The paper examines two European Commission initiatives on creating transnational media networks on European affairs, the Euronews television and the Euranet Plus radio network, and their roles in the European public sphere. An overview of Euronews and Euranet Plus is based on the author's research, first-hand contacts with representatives of the European Commission, media in Belgium and France, and field work at the editorial office of Euronews in Lyon-Ecully and at the editorial offices of Euranet Plus in Paris and Brussels.
