Influence of digital technologies on the quality of life by modelling the risk of flooding of territories by flood waters

Every year, there are many floods on the planet, which have a significant impact on ensuring the safety of people and affects the quality of life. The development of modern modelling technologies makes it possible to predict various scenarios for the development of the situation and reduce the likelihood of negative consequences. This issue is especially relevant for settlements located in the immediate vicinity of hydroelectric power plants, since by regulating discharge costs from hydroelectric power plants, it is possible to safely pass flood waters avoiding flooding of residential buildings and infrastructure, but this requires knowing the flooding zones at different water levels and discharge costs. This paper presents the results of solving the problem of modelling the dynamics of flood waters within the boundaries of the settlement of Krasnoyarsk. To calculate the flooded areas, the TUFLOW program was used in the Surface-water Modelling System modelling environment, as well as neural network forecasting using the NeuroPro software product. The simulation results made it possible to predict local flooding of the settlement during the flood of 2021 and take preventive measures to reduce the risk of flooding.

A Chemical Analysis of Hybrid Economic Systems—Tokens and Money

With the influence of digital technology in our daily lives continuously growing, we investigate methods with the purpose of assessing the stability, sustainability, and design of systems of token economies that include tokens and conventional currencies. Based on a chemical approach, we model markets with a minimum number of variables and compare the transaction rates, stability, and token design properties at different levels of tokenisation. The kinetic study reveals that in certain conditions, if the price of a product contains both conventional money and tokens, one can treat this combination as one composite currency. The dynamic behaviour of the analysed systems is proven to be dynamically stable for the chosen models. Moreover, by applying the supply and demand law to recalculate the prices of products, the necessity of previous knowledge of certain token attributes—token divisibility and token–money exchange rates—emerges. The chemical framework, along with the analytic methods that we propose, is flexible enough to be adjusted to a variety of conditions and offer valuable information about economic systems.

FEATURES OF THE ORGANIZATION OF INTERNATIONAL CARGO DELIVERY IN A DIGITAL ECONOMY

The relevance of the research of digital economy problems and related concepts is determined by the fact that the share of industries that rely on digital technologies is constantly growing. There are processes of penetration of digital technologies into other spheres of society, in particular, into international trade and the organization of international deliveries on the basis of digital technologies, which radically change their technological structure. Some activities have already been completely transformed under the influence of digital technologies. It is to be expected that e-commerce will soon dominate at the household level, and approaches to the organization of trade itself will change greatly. At the same time, the dynamism of the digital economy and the diversity of its manifestations are the reason why many areas of the economy and the impact of digitalization on them remain poorly understood. One of such areas is the organization of international cargo delivery. This explains the choice of the topic of scientific research, the relevance of which does not require additional argumentation, because it is obvious.

MULTIMEDIA FEATURES OF INTERNET MEDIA

Today, the Internet has united the world community into a single virtual space, making it the fastest means of receiving and disseminating information. The unprecedented development of information and communication technologies, the digitalization of traditional techniques has had a direct positive impact on the development of journalism to collect, process, and disseminate information quickly and efficiently, and in particular to present new forms of presentation to the audience in the coordination of voice, text, photography, and video. The Internet is a part of modern society, modern culture that emphasizes the mutual understanding of people, especially through new forms and means. Given the disappearance of time, space, culture and national boundaries, there is no doubt that the Internet will provide effective management of intercultural dialogue because of new information technologies. This means that in the virtual world, a person communicates with representatives of different cultures, both orally and in writing. Nowadays, in addition to the traditional text, various symbols are used in written speech. As a result, all aspects of social life, including culture, will be exchanged. If the message sent is clear and concise, it indicates that the meeting was effective. The Internet space is visible in a variety of symbols, pictures, info graphics, diagrams, videos, audio images, formed information technology, from the simple text of the message. This, of course, attracts the user's attention and indicates an increase in the need for virtuality rather than reality. This has led to the formation of new formats of information transmission in the Internet media under the influence of digital technologies. Capabilities of Internet media, such as hypertext, interactivity and multimedia, unique projects based on the synthesis of different media platforms have been created. Multimedia formats such as storytelling and longgrid have become very popular. Now the user needs audio and video materials instead of text format. The information and data provided by the Internet through the hypertext capabilities of the media is very compact and creates a number of conveniences for the user. The interactive ability of the Internet media enables the user to meet with other members of the audience and share the information they receive through various social networks. The multimedia capabilities of the Internet media serve to enrich the content of the web page with audio and video means. It is obvious that the multimedia capabilities of the Internet media are setting new perspectires for the dissemination and delivery of information to the user, because speed, objectivity and modernity are the requirements of today.

Digital Technologies and Expatriation – A Systematic Literature Review

Over the last two decades, the impact of digital technologies on the management of international assignments (i.e., expatriation) has gained increasing attention by researchers across the world. Although, studies on the influence of digital technologies on the expatriation process exist for 20 years now, most researchers focus on conventional face-to-face expatriate assignments. Given the new relevance of digital technologies in a COVID-19 pandemic affected world, we reviewed existing expatriation literature between 2000 and 2020 to guide future research. Our review shows that the entire expatriation cycle is influenced by various digital technologies and that global HR practices need to reflect the increasing use of digital technologies from an integrated perspective. We point to the emergence of advanced technologies (i.e., Virtual Reality) and their potential for expatriation. Thus, understanding the transformation and digitalization of expatriation should be the focus of researcher and practitioners aiming to adapt expatriation to the new normal.

Language Endangerment and the Need for Technology for Language Empowerment: Case Study of the Brahui language in Balochistan

Diaspora and indigenous speech communities are under the threat of extinction in Balochistan. Local inhabitants with a lower economic and commercial value symbolize cultural and ethnic genocide in western Pakistan. In my study, I investigate the scope of technology for the documentation and maintenance of the Brahui language in the province of Balochistan. Also, I discuss how language policy and the digital divide are creating unfamiliar pedagogical, socio-cultural and linguistic practices, along with putting minority speech communities in danger of losing their identity and bringing about linguistic extinction. Drawing on the work of critical theorists, perceptions of indigenous Brahui community are recorded to understand the influence of digital technology for language survival. The study identifies that digital divide and flawed educational policies in Balochistan are potent instruments of Brahui endangerment. I call for inclusive and unbiased language policies and uniform access to technology for linguistic empowerment of the Brahui speech community in Balochistan.

Inclusive digital economy as a factor of ensuring national security

The subject of this research is the processes of ensuring national security through the development of inclusive digital economy. The object of this research is the determining factors that indicate readiness of the countries for digitalization and its consequences; as well as the resulting factors that characterize the quantitative meaning of the development of inclusive economy under the influence of digital technologies. The goal lies in methodological substantiation of considering the development of inclusive digital economy as a factor of ensuring national security. The achievement of the set goal required the solution to the following tasks: compare the indicators of quantitative assessment of national security with the indicators used for calculating the index of inclusive development; analyze the impact of digitalization upon establishment of inclusive economy. For solution of the latter problem, the author built the econometric model based on the methods of linear and Bayesian Ridge Regression using the programming language Python. As a result, the author proves that that inclusive digital economy can be viewed as a factor of ensuring national security, because the digitalization processes influence the development of inclusive economy, and the countries with more developed inclusive economy have greater social and economic sustainability and higher level of domestic security. The acquired results can be applied for assessing the development trends of inclusive economy, as well as for elaboration and implementation of the economic policy measures aimed at intensification of economic growth and leveling the threats to national security.

New Developments in International Production Networks: Impact of Digital Technologies*

We conducted a standard gravity exercise using worldwide disaggregated trade data to shed light on the influence of digital technologies on network trade. We found that growing investment in industrial robots in relatively lagging economies, together with imported digitally deliverable services, is enhancing bilateral network trade flows in East Asia, but not necessarily in other parts of the world. This suggests that exploring complementarities between machines and human resources in production blocks supported by better service‐link connectivity may allow newly developed economies to retain and expand the international division of labor.
