The influence of digital technologies on resilient performance: Contributions, drawbacks, and a research agenda

The growing use of digital technologies (DTs) has a myriad of implications to socio-technical systems, which are not yet fully recognised. This paper investigates the contributions and drawbacks of DTs to resilient performance (RP), an aspect that so far has received less attention in comparison to others such as efficiency. To this end, a survey questionnaire was applied to 79 academics and practitioners linked to resilience engineering. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics and a thematic analysis of the open-text responses to the survey. Mixed impacts were identified, with 10 themes related to contributions and 16 to drawbacks. Regarding the contributions, the results highlighted the use of DTs for monitoring and anticipating system performance. Machine learning seems to be the most promising approach for this purpose. A key drawback is the need for developing new skills across the workforce so that they can make sense of the outputs of DTs and are aware of their strengths and weaknesses. The human role is expected to remain crucial for RP, which makes the current coordination difficulties with DTs even more important to address. A research agenda composed of five topics is proposed, encompassing description, prescription, and assessment. The agenda emphasizes the need for mapping the attributes or functionalities of DTs onto resilience concepts, models, and frameworks.

Innovating the humanities, reimagining the future: empirical evidence from virtual reality practice in China

ABSTRACT The influence of digital technologies on culture and the liberal arts is a global phenomenon. To contribute a non-Western perspective to such debates, this article considers the uptake of virtual reality technology in Chinese humanities education via the policy lens of a higher education reform called New Humanities Education, which was issued by the Ministry of Education of the People’s Republic of China in 2018. The paper draws on the concept of a ‘techno-cultural imaginary’ to show how the humanities and STEM fields have merged and have contributed to the task of national rejuvenation in the past decade. Drawing on interviews with virtual reality practitioners in universities and industry, the results indicate two ideological shifts in humanities education in China: The first is a shift from praising scholar-officials (shi) to praising academic entrepreneurs; and the second is from valuing knowledge to valuing power. The article argues that those being cultivated and nurtured in the contemporary Chinese humanities education system are expected to become pragmatic problem-solvers rather than critical thinkers.

Развитие теории управления рисками в условиях расширения присутствия кредитных организаций в цифровом пространстве

This article discusses the factors of the digital space that affect the economic security and risk status of credit organizations. The evolving nature of digitalization in the banking sector has led to an increase in risks for its structures, in particular, we are talking about unexpected losses and the growth of operational problems.

Perbandingan Efektifitas Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Audio Visual dan Teks Untuk Meningkatkan Pemahaman Isi Dongeng Siswa Sekolah Dasar

ABSTRACT Learning in the 21st century cannot be separated from the influence of digital technology. Learning to understand the contents of fairy tales through teachers reading fairy tales in front of the class is no longer suitable for students in the digital era. Therefore, further progress is needed in the use of learning media. Learning to understand the content of fairy tales using animated videos or audio-visual media can be an alternative method that teachers can use. Research comparing the effectiveness of using audiovisual and textual learning media to improve elementary school students' ability to understand the content of fairy tales was conducted at SDN Situraja. The research method used in this research is a quantitative method. Students' enthusiasm in learning to understand fairy tales using animated videos or audio-visual media will be better than learning to understand fairy tales in writing and reading in front of the class. This can be seen in the average ability of students to understand fairy tales. The average understanding ability of students after using learning media is 76.40, while the average ability to understand fairy tales before using it is 58.00, and the average ability of understanding students after using text media is 75.20, while the average ability students' understanding after using text media was 75.20, while the average students' understanding ability after using text media was 75.20, while the average students' understanding ability after using text media was 75.20. understanding the previous tale is 75.20. is 75.20. is 52.80. Apart from increasing students' ability to understand fairy tales at an average level, the use of animated video media also helps students become more active in the learning process. This can be seen when the teacher delivers By using 10-choice multiple choice questions before and after the broadcast, most students answered correctly the questions asked by the teacher.

Comparative and analytical monitoring of the "Vstup.OSVITA.UA" Information System was also used, which made it possible to identify educational programs of specialty 029 "Information, library, and archival affairs". The scientific novelty of the article lies in expanding ideas about the current state of library education in Ukraine, its transformation under the influence of digital technologies, and harmonisation with the International Standard Classification of Education. Conclusions. Some aspects of the implementation of the Library Development Strategy for the period up to 2025 "Qualitative changes in libraries to ensure the sustainable development of Ukraine" and the "Strategy for the Development of Higher Education in Ukraine for 2022-2032" were considered, which proved Ukraine's aspiration to global educational trends of the future. However, this process is quite slow. The information on the educational programmes of specialty 029 "Information, library and archival affairs" posted on the website of the Information System "Vstup.OSVITA.UA" was analysed and summarised. In addition, the transformation of library education takes place in the conditions of digitalisation of information activities and must correspond to real changes in the library and information complex. The creation of the Interagency Working Group on Reforming the National Classifier of Ukraine DK 003:2010 "Profession Classifier" will help to harmonise it with the International Standard Classification of Occupations ISCO-08. The national classifier DK 009:2010 "Classification of types of economic activity" needs revision, because it lacks the names of modern types of economic activity.
 Keywords: library education, library specialty, librarianship, educational programmes, website "Vstup.OSVITA.UA".

Тtransformation of social-labor relations under the influence of digitalization of the economy

The article examines the essence of the concept of «transformation of social and labor relations» and the nature of the influence of digitalization of the economy on it; directions of the changes in labor activity in the conditions of formation of an information-network economy are identified; changes in the forms of employment in the context of formation of the «gig economy» sector are substantiated; features of the functioning of digital platforms as a new type of basic economic institution and scale of the influence of digital technologies on labor activity are identified; contours of the changes in the formation of labor costs as a consequence of a change in the owners of the means of production are outlined; the essence of digital capital has been explored; multidirectional nature of the processes that shape the demand and supply of labor in the domestic labor market has been studied and substantiated. Based on the theories of transformation of systems and labor economics, the concept of «transformation of labor activity» is defined as changes in social and labor relations that arise in the process of creating new value and reproduction of labor force. It is proposed to distinguish two levels of research into the transformation of work activity under the influence of digital technologies, namely: a general for economic environment and a specific for labor market that made it possible to further determine the directions of its changes using the abstraction method. For the first level, which identifies the determinants of general shifts in the economic environment, it is proposed to highlight such features as: transition from an industrial-market to an information-network economy; formation of the gig economy; formation of digital platforms. For the second level, which is specific to labor market, the signs of transformation processes are: creating conditions for growth of the organic structure of capital; changes in the formation of labor cost components; formation of digital capital; multidirectional character of the processes that shape supply and demand in the labor market. The blocks by which it is advisable to study the effectiveness of using digital platforms may be: production costs; quality of products, works, services; use of working time; level and quality of electronic commerce; level of economic relations; quality of access to information.

Bricolage and the «Fluid Identity» of Postmodernism

This article explores the postmodern concept of «fluid identity». In contrast to the classical understanding of stable personal identity, the article presents postmodern tendencies that emphasize the instability and fragmentation of identity. The key features of this idea are elucidated, such as the deconstruction and loss of the core of identity, the pluralism and multiplicity of identities, and the influence of digital technologies on identity formation and expression. The concept of bricolage by Claude Lévi-Strauss is positioned as a mechanism that explains the process of creating a «fluid identity». The shift from established paradigms to a more flexible and individual way of perceiving and expressing identity in the contemporary world is noted.

Digital entrepreneur’s platformication and rapid internationalization through brokering, making and giving sense

ABSTRACTIn the realm of entrepreneurship and rapid international growth, the influence of digital technologies is profound. The sustained growth of Born Digital firms hinges on intricate relational and network dynamics, particularly within the context of digital platforms. This longitudinal empirical research focuses on case firms immersed in project-based activities centered around health apps. Navigating the complex landscape of digital innovation, these firms must strategically engage with established and emerging digital platform networks. To ensure the continual expansion of their digital platforms, digital entrepreneurs are compelled to exhibit a vision advantage and employ effective sensegiving within their network. The empirical findings underscore the necessity for these firms to adopt multiple dynamic strategies, characterized by rhetorical brokerage, to augment their networks for innovation and internationalization. This necessitates an entrepreneurial approach termed ‘platformication,’ which encapsulates the actions undertaken in the digital platform space. This study contributes with research and implications of platformication.
