Research on the Influence of Digital Economy Development on Manufacturing Upgrading

Manufacturing is the foundation of real economy. With the acceleration of the construction process of digital power, relying on digital economy to promote the digital transformation and intelligent upgrading of China's manufacturing industry has increasingly become a problem worthy of attention. In view of this, this paper establishes a panel threshold model to study the effect of digital economy development on manufacturing upgrading. The results show that before the development level of digital economy reaches the 'inflection point', the development of digital economy will significantly promote manufacturing upgrading and its impact on manufacturing upgrading has heterogeneity such as regional and digital dimensions. Combined with the research conclusions, this paper puts forward targeted policy recommendations such as changing the development model of digital economy, taking into account regional heterogeneity factors and focusing on the depth of use of digital economy.

Material and digital dimensions of urban public spaces through the lens of social distancing

The role of public spaces in the city has been traditionally linked to their material dimensions. But experience of public spaces has been also increasingly digital in recent decades, with spatialities of urban dwellers being mediated by smart technology. The relation between material and digital dimensions of public space has been changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The social distancing measures severely limited the accessibility and openness of public spaces. Digital technologies can serve as a substitute for the lost possibilities of physical contact. In this study we aim at exploring this possibility and its impacts. We are also interested in using this opportunity to ask questions about the role of space and place, either material, digitally augmented or virtual in the lives of urban dwellers. Our in-depth interviews exposed a situation where it is the lack of access to material public space that is greatly contributing to the creation of social deficits identified in our interview - sensual flattening, otherless world, spatially not-rooted communication, being out of role. These deficits can serve as indicators of the role of the material dimension of public space in social interactions and as a guide to the creation of good quality public spaces.

Freezing Sets for Arbitrary Digital Dimension

The study of freezing sets is part of the theory of fixed points in digital topology. Most of the previous work on freezing sets is for digital images in the digital plane Z2. In this paper, we show how to obtain freezing sets for digital images in Zn for arbitrary n, using the c1 and cn adjacencies.

Мethod of analysis for analyzing phishing messages

The development and widespread introduction of the Internet into everyday life has transformed both economic and social relations. The representation of these relations in digital form has created a digital economy, characterized by an active exchange of information, quick access to information resources, and the transfer of payments to the digital dimension. Social relations in the digital world are represented by social networks, instant messengers, which also provide economic services. At the same time, the new space, the transformed economy and social relations give rise to new threats. Users themselves actively expose information about themselves and their loved ones, photos of vacations and locations to the public. In addition to social networking, viewing entertainment content and online games, bank settlement transactions are popular. The popularization of Internet banking leads to an increased interest in stealing data from intruders. The result of this is an increase in the number of scammers who aim to obtain confidential user information. In addition, since the beginning of the war, the number of cyber attacks on public authorities, critical information infrastructure facilities and organizations containing critical information has increased. One of the well-known methods of stealing such information is phishing attacks. At the same time, most users underestimate the severity of these attacks and do not pay enough attention to protection systems. This, in turn, leads to wider consequences. Therefore, the problem to be solved is to present a method for analyzing phishing messages that can be used to reduce the probability of reaching the goal of a phishing attack. At the same time, it is known that attackers improve and modify the methods of implementing attacks, and therefore, classifying phishing attacks to increase user awareness is an urgent task. The result of the work is the proposed classification of phishing attacks and the presented method for analyzing phishing messages.

ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY SECTOR IN UKRAINE AND WORLD

Annotation. The article examines the formation and development of fintech in general in the world and in Ukraine in particular. The goal is to highlight the specifics of Ukrainian financial technology sector development in order to ensure the necessary dynamics and increase the efficiency of its functioning. During the scientific research, the following methods were used: inductive and deductive analysis; a historical method for identifying fintech development stages; statistical methods for analyzing the fi ntech infrastructure of Ukrainian financial-credit market; confronting, comparison and synthesis to identify the specifics of fintech development in the domestic economy. The study summarizes the peculiarities of Ukrainian financial technology sector development. The stages of Fin Tech development in the world, from 1.0 to 3.5, are revealed and their main features are characterized. The first two stages covered respectively: 1866-1967 (identified as 1.0), marked by financial globalization and consisted of two periods pre-war, which was characterized by the development of infrastructure and post-war, which was marked by the process of using computer technology; and 1967-2008 (identified as 2.0) which was the development of traditional digital financial services, that is, further development of globalization of finance and digitalization, transition in 1967-1987 years of financial services from analog to digital dimensions. In general, the period is marked by: the launch of ATMs, SWIFT, automation of clearing services, more reliable payment systems are created, electronic trading of stocks begins, etc.; 2009 – our time, identified as 3.0, and response to the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 for the vast majority of countries, and stage 3,5 since 2015 in countries where there is an aspiration for economic development and financial intermediaries are present who carry out their activities exclusively online without available physical offices and compete with classic banks and non-bank financial organizations. Factors affecting the development of fintech in the world and Ukraine are determined. The current state of development of Fin Tech in our country is analyzed. It is proved that Ukraine corresponds to the stage of development of financial technologies at the level of 3.5; since in our country the factors of its development coincide with the countries that are recognized as being at this level, and the development itself took place first as an adaptation to changes in global financial markets in response to the crisis of 2008, and then as an action on the crisis of 2013-2014. Since 2015, Ukraine has entered a new stage of development of Fin Tech identified as 3.5. Keywords: financial technologies, sector of financial technologies, stage of development of financial technologies, factors of development of financial technologies, feature of development of financial technologies, globalization.

Perceptual Relations in Digital Environments

The aim of the paper is to develop the concept of perceptual relation and to apply it to digital environments. First, the meaning of perceptual relation is phenomenologically analyzed and defined as the interaction between the whole and its parts, which is theorized by the founders of Gestalt psychology. However, this relation is not considered as an intrinsic, but as an extended one, implying also the relation with the surrounding world (Umwelt). Subsequently, this concept of extended relation is applied to a chosen object (a ball) as it is perceived in four different kinds of digital dimensions (on-screen, virtual, augmented, and hybrid). Through a phenomenological analysis, I argue that, whereas the whole-part configuration remains the same, some modes of appearance of the object (multisensoriality, figure-ground interaction, affordances, and persistence) are different. In order to define this dynamic, I have coined the concept of transdimensional analogy.

From Text on Paper to Digital Poetry: Creativity and Digital Literary Reading Practices in Initial Teacher Education.

The new contexts of literary education allow for the creation of digital reading and writing practices related to what specialised literature calls digital literature. Among these practices and with an eminently theoretical content and with an example of this content, in this paper, we want to focus our gaze on cyberpoetry, conceived as an exercise in literary creativity that firstly involves use of technology and specific software for the digital creation of poetic texts and, last but not least, knowledge and mastery of poetic language and the literary conventions linked thereto. From this point of view, in initial teacher training, we work with future teachers to create cyberpoems with a dual purpose: on the one hand, to reflect on what literary reading in digital format entails and to rehearse reading mediation processes that can be carried out with this type of literature, and, on the other, to begin in the digital creation of cyberpoems that, later, may be presented and worked in a real context of the school classroom. In this paper, we present digital practices of literary reading that have been created by student teachers in initial training. The creation of these practices has been carried out with the Genially tool. For data collection, the URL of each creation is accessed in order to analyse them. The analysis of the data follows the parameters of the qualitative methodology, specifically based on three categories of analysis for each digital creation: multimodality, hypertextuality and the interaction of each digital reading proposal. The conclusions of all this allow us to affirm that the creation of cyberpoems is an exercise in literary creativity that has to take into account the digital dimension of the literary text and its reading comprehension in a multimodal environment. Thus, the teacher in initial training carries out a digital literary mediation exercise, of a creative type, which he will later carry out in his pedagogical practice.

Factors That Limit the Development of the Digital Entrepreneurial System in the Scale-Up Phase of the Enterprise Life Cycle

For the interpretation of digital entrepreneurship, the context in which the entrepreneurial process takes place plays an important role. The context emphasizes that to analyze the entrepreneurial process, it is no longer sufficient to analyze only the entrepreneurial actions, but also the environment in which the entrepreneurial process takes place. The aim of this paper is to analyze the part of the context in which the entrepreneurial process takes place in the Republic of Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Hungary. Following the methodology of The European Index of Digital Entrepreneurship Systems (EIDES), the paper analyzes the system framework conditions, in the scale-up phase of the enterprise life cycle, in the digital dimension. The aim of this paper is a comparative analysis of three countries in transition with one country belonging to the European Union. After identifying the most developed factors, as well as the most underdeveloped factors, the paper discusses the conditions that influenced the results achieved in the four previously listed countries and why their improvement is important.

Digitalisation and Law: The More Things Change – the More They Stay the Same

Based on the notorious fact of our era digitalisation, this paper is focused on the probability of relations between the notions of law and digital era government (DEG), as they are found in the scientific literature. Out of the total of 3917 articles that were identified in the Scopus database as relevant in DEG research, 77 of them were further considered due to their connectedness between legal notions and notions of DEG. Results show a very modest presence of law in DEG literature. Based on this, the paper confirms Collingridge’s dilemma of control and gives answers on the cross-disciplinary interconnection of law and IT, how digital dimensions and technology are addressed in the law, and whether the latter pursues modernisation or just reflects existing public governance principles. However, results based on a literature review may not be always aligned with the practical effects of digitalisation in society.

Digital divide across the European Union and labour market resilience

ABSTRACT Using a regional evolutionary perspective and a cross-regional data panel for 278 European Union regions, this study investigates the relationship between regional digital development and labour market resilience. To address a fundamental concern of regional studies, it proposes an analytical framework that assesses digital disparities in the spatial context and provides a nuanced understanding of digital dimensions impacting labour market resilience. The primary labour market outcome, the employment rate, was evaluated to investigate the regional resilience in the Great Recession. A gradient boosting method was used to identify the digital predictors in different resilience stages and to articulate policy-relevant conclusions.

“Liquid” Identity and Otherness in the Phenomenon of Religious Alienation: The Loss of Critical Thinking and the “Barter” of the Self in the System of Communion

The “interior space” (Guardini, 1997) is inevitably influenced by the “external space”, which can be the mother, the inter-personal relationships, the local community with all its particular declinations (community of peers, scholastic, academic, working, etc.) or society in general; yet the educational relationship (Kanitsa & Mariani, 2017), in particular in the parental and religious sphere, has the main function of “forming” the pupil, as a child or adult, student, or faithful; in the same way, also the whole society in which one is immersed is understood as an “external environment” which continuously influences the formation of an individual. Indeed, for the purposes of this analysis, is interesting to note what Marcuse writes about the constitution of the “conceptual paradigm” of a society: he warns of the fact that when a society is imbued with a certain ideology, it seems that it is “inhabited” by a paradox; since “Ideologies in particular tend to remain entangled in the dilemmas of the paradox, especially if their metaphysics is anti-metaphysics” (Marcuse, 1999, p. 189). What intervenes as a matrix and “interferes” in the educational process, and so what constitutes the original source from which an education springs out and which, therefore, creates an “educational interference” (Demetrio, 2020, p. 5), is undoubtedly multiple and multi factorial, not reducible to a single root. Precisely for this reason, in this investigation, various paradigmatic educational sources will be taken in consideration, also crossing the Global and Digital (Byung-Chul Han, 2015) dimensions typical of our age, since they act as a “stimulus” and so they are understood as “educating forces”. These “forces” appear to be marked, each internally, by a paradoxical logic: they could be realized, indeed, not only as “educational forces” but also as “alienating forces”. It seems that we face a “power” then, which, taking the place of the authentic and beneficial “religious” or parental “care”, “sets” a new bond of Attachment (Bowlby, 1972, 1975, 1983), capable of emulating some significant aspects of care or relationship, infusing instead, discomfort, pain and, ultimately, alienation. The aim of this study is, therefore, to thoroughly investigate this “inner space of consciousness” (Guardini, 2002, p. 41), when happens that it is “violated”, voluntarily or unconsciously, by those who invade it, giving to an individual, at the same time, identity and the alienation of the identity.

The aftermath of the Covid-19 crisis in the field of intimacy: How to bounce back and rethink our values?

Human relationships and bonding reconfigure and reinvent themselves over time. For several decades, it has been interesting to note that both the digital dimension and the development of artificial intelligence have played a great evolutionary role in our relational society. There is an accessibility and intensification of social exchanges between internet users (published writings, photos, conversations, conferences… ). Although we access this interplanetary sharing of connection, despite everything the distancing and physical emotional social deprivation between several individuals belonging to a different household can bring significantly high suffering. Moreover, with the Covid-19 crisis, there has also been that fragility of our own personal doubt that will settle psychically in us: the uncertainty will be more intimate, more present and more distressing. If there is exposure to a potentially threatening stimulus as is the case with COVID-19, the exploration of positive or negative resources of survival and that of creativity (psychological capital) will emerge during this first increasedmajor confinement in order to bring non-negligible and bearable psychic responses to possible traumas and episodes of acute stress. However, the goal of this article is to propose a possible understanding of a resilience, thought and mobilized from a systemic approach: The relationship between the individual and his different systems of social, relational and existential belonging.

Liderazgo Y Tensiones En La Universidad: El Reto De Integrar La Educación Digital

ABSTRACT The university is facing, once again, a deep transformation process. On this occasion, the continuous increase in the digital dimension of society and its consequent impact on teaching and research plays a fundamental role. The effects of the pandemic, which have made digital education the only option to avoid the complete interruption of higher education in most of the world, have further accentuated this impact. This article combines two investigations. A qualitative one on the rationale behind the transformation processes of the university, analyzing in-depth interviews with eleven international university experts, who identified ten tensions that the university is experiencing at this time. The other one is a mixed methodology study that, based on three case studies located in three universities, determines the leadership literacies necessary for the integration of digital education in the transformation process of universities. The results make it possible to relate the leadership competencies necessary to solve the ten tensions raised, concluding with the importance of developing these leadership literacies for digital education proposed by the DELLHE framework.

ЗАСТОСУВАННЯ МОДЕЛІ МАНДЕЛЛА-ФЛЕМІНГА В ЦИФРОВІЙ ЕКОНОМІЦІ: ПРИКЛАД УКРАЇНИ

Modern development of the noosphere, the emergence of new industries and a qualitative transformation of production and distribution relations are determined by widespread digitalization throughout the world. The main goals of digitalization are the development of innovations focused on the development of society 5.0, ensuring the free flow of data and capital. Considering the Mundell-Fleming model application as the instrument to support economic welfare it should be admitted the “impossible trinity” of the model and the lack of research to solve it. The paper investigates the Mundell-Fleming dilemma solution on the ground of digitalization. The research methodology is based on fundamental tenets of modern economics and general scientific methods, namely: induction, deduction, dialectical method and systematic approach, analysis and synthesis – all of these for analyzing the process of digitalization and to establish the principles, forms and foundations of the Mundell-Fleming model application in the digital dimension, systematization and generalization (to substantiate the phenomenon of digitalization), abstract-logical method (for recent tendencies substantiation), economic-mathematical (to compare and analyze data), institutional-comparative (for the analysis Mundell-Fleming model application in the digital economy). The paper studies the Mundell-Fleming model application in digital economy, it investigates global trends as well as peculiarities of digitalization in Ukrainian economy. We believe digitalization is the instrument to solve the Mundell-Fleming trilemma. The study reveals trends of banking digitalization as external as internal.

ЦИФРОВАЯ ПОВЕСТКА ЭКОНОМИЧЕСКОГО СООБЩЕСТВА АСЕАН – 2025 И ПОЛИТИКА КОМПАНИИ СИНГАПУРСКИЕ АВИАЛИНИИ

As the deadline for the establishment of the ASEAN Community to 2025 is approaching, the association attaches increasing importance to the digital dimension of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). Arguably, the ASEAN is far from fulfilling its goals, mostly, in regard to making Southeast Asia a unified manufacturing and doing business area. Concerning the association’s plans to provide intra-ASEAN cooperation with digital support, many obstacles remain in place. In these circumstances, much will depend upon the “down-top” vector. Specifically, Southeast Asian industry and business champions, among which the company Singapore Airlines figures prominently, can lead by example. The article scrutinizes the measures implemented by the Sin-gapore Airlines to digitalize its business activity with an emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic period and distinguished fundamental factors behind their success. The author argues that although the experience of the Singapore Airlines is an individual example rather than a general pattern of business activity in Southeast Asia, regional companies will be increasingly introducing similar practices, or at least their major components, in the years to come.

Determinants of the adoption of AI wearables - practical implications for marketing

Wearables have become a natural element of human life, determining our way of perceiving, understanding and experiencing the world. Enriched with elements of artificial intelligence, they will change our habits and draw us into the digital dimension of the world - a space of uninterrupted interaction between people and technology. As a result, there are still new ideas for the effective use of AI wearables in the consumer space. The main aim of the article is to examine the determinants behind the acceptance of the AI wearables, with particular emphasis on the strength and nature of the relationship between the consumer and technology. The UTAUT2 model is used for this purpose. The article is a continuation of the previous reflections and analyses in this area; at the same time it constitutes an initial stage of research on the issues related to the adoption of AI wearables.

Opportunities and Principles of Using Digitalization in the Dialogue of Society and the Public Authorities in the UK on the Example of the Greater London Authority

The UK is one of the leaders in the use of digital tools in the interaction of government institutions and citizens. Now we are witnessing an active dialogue between various British institutions precisely in the digital dimension, as the transfer of data on vaccinations and hospitalizations from hospitals to other structures is carried out thanks to blockchain technologies. Of course, the explosion of interest in the use of digital events was provided by the coronavirus. However, it provided not only an increase in the importance of «numbers» in British society, but also greatly contributed to the disunity of citizens, especially in the context of access to the Internet infrastructure. To this day, this very task remains the main one in the respective strategies. At the same time, individual cities and regions of the country are more actively solving the task. London and the activities of the mayor’s office should be pointed out as the most illustrative example. For the services of the mayor’s office, it was necessary to ensure the transparency of the decisions made, to form and strengthen the trust of citizens. As part of the analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that for the most part, these tasks can be considered completed. The purpose of this article is basing on an analysis of specific digital tools and examples of the implementation of digital strategies for 2017 and 2021 to identify how a particular metropolis has formed permanent channels of communication and interaction between decision-making institutions and citizens.
