Press and the digital revolution: the challenges of the Portuguese market

The slow growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in rural areas has resulted in low sales volume. Despite the fact that MSMEs provide employment opportunities for rural communities, they do not eliminate poverty or unemployment. To make the most of digital media, solid digital marketing strategies and concepts are required. Digital marketing is the use of social media networks to conduct promotional activities and map digital markets. Digital marketing ideas can bring geographically dispersed parties together by using computers or other electronic equipment. The goal of this research project is to identify the most effective digital marketing tactics for the growth of MSMEs in Cimekar village, Bandung regency. The descriptive qualitative research method was used in this study. The data for this study is gathered through observations, interviews, and secondary sources such as books, journals, and articles.

This article examines how members of the Scottish newspaper industry view the current crisis of the print press and the future of their titles. It looks at how newspaper companies are attempting to address the challenges posed by digital transition and competition in a small market, and where they believe the solution to this problem lies. The analysis is based on input from interviews with editors and managers as well as circulation data from the last fifteen years. Findings suggest that, in line with the characteristics of a liberal media system, newspaper organisations believe that it is up to the industry, rather than the state, to resolve this systemic issue and to ensure the survival of their products.

This article looks at the opportunities for and challenges to the national press in Scotland in the digital media era. Based on input from interviews with Scottish newspaper editors and managers and on reports about the current state of the industry, it explores how the changes that affect the press globally have impacted the Scottish market and how newspaper companies have reacted to them so far. It discusses the impact of the competition for readership and advertising in a small market with many players, the hope that the industry has placed in paywalls and portable digital devices, and argues that, despite widespread optimism among its members that the industry will successfully survive into the future, the business model that will ensure this survival is yet to be established.

Digital strategies and innovation are changing academic teaching, administration, and student participation. This article discusses how the digital revolution in higher education requires a strategic approach and superior technology. The emphasis on the academic sector is due to its crucial role in social development. Educational institutions are responsible for teaching and preparing students for the workforce, which makes digital adaptation crucial. Digital technologies improve administrative efficiency, personalise learning, and expand education, especially through online and hybrid models.

The digital technologies are transforming the financial markets and may prove to be a game-changer in terms of attaining SDG objectives over time. As a result, UN agencies have begun to prioritize the utilization of the digital revolution to advance SDGs. There is a growing body of literature on the use of digital money to achieve sustainability objectives. As businesses commit to protecting the environment, natural systems, and society, consumer eco-awareness has elevated the importance of the issue in the field of sustainable digital finance. The rationale behind this study is to unify the fragmented literature on digital money and to present a clear conceptual framework for sustainable digital finance in order to advance sustainability goals. Specifically, the study aims to investigate the evolution of sustainable digital finance through analyzing publication and citation trends, developing an author-country-keyword framework, and exploring the significant themes and subjects emerging from the field of sustainable digital finance. Additionally, the study examines ongoing shifts in the digital finance sector and the digital sustainable revolution, which can help us harness technology for social good (Grand Challenge: social work) and move closer to achieving sustainable development goals. We employ a two-tiered analytic strategy, comprising of bibliometric analysis and an integrated literature evaluation of 168 publications from the Web of Science database. In addition to descriptive and thematic analysis, the findings provide us with seven relevant themes (financial involvement and participation, sustainable financial development, green finance, digital venture capital, fintech, financial performance, and digital strategy) and four prominent aggregate dimensions (digital financial inclusion, digital sustainable revolution, digital financial transformation, and harness technology for social good), which will be included in the conceptual framework for future research endeavors. The paper concludes with the policy implications of the findings.

The whole library world is on the move. Two transitions are, nowadays, taking place: the rising of the e-book, that is changing the very concept of book and reading, and the crisis of library, caused not only by the technological innovation but also by the present economic moment. The author, in this essay, considers these phenomena with a broad theoretical approach, trying to depict difficulties, dangers and opportunities the new situation presents. The librarians and all the supporters of reading – he suggests – have to face the challenge represented by the “digital mutation” with curiosity and with a proactive attitude, trying to defend the stakes of the readers, the information ecology and the freedom of knowledge. In this commitment nothing is granted: it is a battlefield, where the librarians have to stand in. In this uncertain scenario (the digital revolution and the hard effects of the economic crisis on cultural services) the “disappearing” of the library is often forecasted; but the future – author says – is not written; the librarians have the possibility to write it, and to hold their role in the changing societies, on condition that they completely rethink their profession. The future libraries have to reshape themselves, becoming – as they are in fact becoming – more and more “social”, pleasurable and interesting places where all citizens could find occasions for education, information, entertainment, and overall where they could discover – or nurture – the passion of reading.

The relevance of the study. The digital revolution has had a significant effect on the functioning of libraries. Successful operation in the digital environment requires the improvement of the competitiveness of library services provided: libraries must be able to rethink their role, justify the value of their services for their own customers. Due to the increasing level of the Internet use among scientists, medical professionals, students, patients, community, medical libraries web-presence is of crucial importance. Websites serve as a digital gateway for library services and resources.
 The aim of the article is to study and present the current state of Ukrainian medical libraries service and to propose the digital services development strategy.
 The methodology. A content analysis was conducted over 21 Ukrainian and 5 foreign medical library websites. All data were collected within a month. Research data are presented in the form of tables and figures and analyzed using a simple method of percentages.
 The results. The findings show that many researched Ukrainian medical libraries are yet to exploit the full potential of the digital technologies in library service. The most common services: online public access catalog, virtual references services, identification UDC index, repository, electronic document delivery service (EDDS). Less than half (43%) of medical library sites in Ukraine are adapted to mobile devices. The most popular social media among medical libraries in Ukraine: Facebook (57%), Instagram (33%) and YouTube (29%). Over the last 5 years, libraries have become more active in offering web-based services and resources: plagiarism testing services, repositories, EDDS, virtual references services, identification UDC index. The main strategic objectives of the digital services development for medical libraries in Ukraine should be: increasing the web and social media presence, introducing mobile technologies, improving communication between the library and users, developing services to support research lifecycle, interdisciplinary partnership, support for information literacy of biomedical professionals and medical literacy of the community, developing competences of the medical librarians, corporate cooperation of the Ukrainian medical libraries system.
 The scientific topicality. The current state of Ukrainian medical libraries digital service was analyzed and compared with the state of five years ago and foreign academic medical libraries. Digital services development strategy was proposed.
 The practical significance. The study can be very interesting and important for medical librarians for upgrading, creation and support of relevant medical library services.

Information and Communications Technologies for Development (ICT4D) can help people in developing countries pursue a wider variety of economic and social activities, which in the majority of the cases can reduce overall poverty significantly. As of this moment, there is an important “Digital divide” regarding broadband internet access between Developed and Developing countries, calling for immediate action plans around the world to build the digital infrastructure that can foster digital economies and thus the digital revolution. Applied to sustainable development, the data revolution calls for the integration of this new data with traditional data to produce high-quality information that is more detailed, timely and relevant for many purposes and users, especially to foster and monitor sustainable development. On the infrastructure side, broadband access must continue to be a priority in every digital revolution strategy, given the new Digital divide gaps that have emerged in the past ten years. On the social side, Big data for development can be one of the premier mechanisms that drives the data revolution within the bigger digital revolution picture.

Above all, in this article we would like to raise questions, which need to be addressed if we want to become mature citizens of a digital society – and to be successful in mastering this digital transformation, in Germany. The article also shows potential solutions to the deciding questions we have to answer in order to avoid becoming powerless marionettes attached to the strings of the digital revolution. It is also a question of bridging the gap between our private app behavior and the resulting implications for successful digital strategies in enterprises, society and politics. Oftentimes we are well aware of the successful digital solutions available, but are simply not able to identify the deciding success factors and to adapt them to entrepreneurial areas. In the consumer market place, major and minor global players are demonstrating how digital interactions can, and need to function in order to meet customer needs (see amazon, google, Facebook, Alibaba, airbnb, ebay, etc …). Why is it then that it is so difficult for IT departments of large corporations to offer equally successful functional digital applications for their employees? What is the significance of UI and UX designs in the consumer market on the one hand, and the influence of company culture on the success of digital strategies on the other? Is there a correlation or can the two worlds – private and professional, consumer and enterprise markets – be viewed independent of each other? How can digital corporate strategies profit from our digital commonplace? In order to answer these questions we need to recognize our ways of dealing with digital media, and analyze which conscious or subconscious mechanisms we use to navigate through in an ever increasingly digital world.

The digital revolution in education has fundamentally transformed English language learning by promoting a more interactive, flexible, and student-centered approach. In this context, students’ experiences, engagement, and attitudes toward interactive technology have become crucial for understanding the direction of English education in the modern era. This study aims to explore how students’ learning experiences and engagement in technology-based environments influence their attitudes toward the revolution in English education. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire. A total of 200 English learners from Iraq and Indonesia participated in the study through online data collection. The findings confirmed that the English language education revolution through interactive technology has a positive and significant effect on students’ learning experience, engagement, and attitudes. Additionally, the revolution in interactive education technology was found to simultaneously and significantly affect all three dimensions. Students generally expressed strong support for the transition from traditional methods to more digital, collaborative, and personalized learning environments. Active engagement in interactive platforms contributed to more favorable attitudes toward the educational innovation. These results affirm that interactive technology serves not merely as a support tool, but as a driving force in shaping a sustainable and adaptive learning ecosystem. This study contributes to the fields of English language teaching and educational technology by emphasizing that digital strategies must enhance learning experiences, foster student engagement, and nurture positive learner attitudes in order to meet the needs of 21st-century education.
