Assessment of indicators of students» physical and psychological health in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic

Digitalization of the educational process gradually developed in parallel with the introduction of digital tools into people»s daily lives. Prolonged contact with media can negatively affect students» self-esteem and the awareness of personal value, as well as causes excessive stress. It is particularly noted that any dependence on the use of infor mation technology increases the risk to the health of children and studying adolescents. However, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2022), the problem of education digitalization became particularly acute: it was necessary to conduct classes, test stu dents» knowledge, and check homework completely in a remote mode. The need for such an urgent revision of the education system caused rapid development and introduction of new digital technologies into the educational programs of many educational institutions. Despite the fact that at present there is no need to conduct various events remotely, meth ods of blended or distance learning are still present in the activities of many educational organizations. Nevertheless, it is essential to note an unhealthy trend among students that qualitatively affects their health: during the epidemic, the amount of gadget use time sig nificantly increased compared to the norms of the SanPiN. In addition, forced self-isolation had a negative impact on health. Constant presence in the same environment negatively affected the psycho-emotional state of children, entailing general asthenization, a partic ular manifestation of which often was the development of affective disorders. This article discusses the results of an empirical study assessing the impact of distance learning on the physical and psychological state of students. The survey of both students and their parents was conducted. This made it possible to identify subjective and objective assessments of the risk factors impact. Analyzing the results, it becomes obvious that digitalization of the educational process has a negative impact on the psycho-emotional and physical condi tion of students, leading to a loss of educational motivation, behavior changes, decreased performance, and other negative consequences. The relationship between the introduction of distance learning and the development of stress in students was studied.

Screen Media, Technological Innovation and the State in Nigeria

ABSTRACT: In this essay, I revisit the history of the emergence and evolution of the Nigerian screen media industry (Nollywood) through the prism of the concept of “infopolitics” to develop an analysis of the interaction between media technology innovation and state control in Africa. After being a key preoccupation during Cold War, the issue of the state’s capacity to control the production and flow of media content and data within its borders has become again the object of controversial debates in recent years, as shown by the multiplication of research on the issue of “digital sovereignty” and “platform capitalism.” By focusing on an African case study to reflect on issues of global relevance, this essay shows how the analysis of African realities can help us in interrogating and complementing theories formulated in relation to western case studies (and generally uncritically applied to other contexts). Combining first-hand ethnographic data to the analysis of the research results of other scholars who have investigated the emergence and growth of Nollywood over the past decades, this essay follows media producers and their relationship to technologies and the state, over a period of forty years, from the introduction of the videotape to the arrival of streaming platforms. In so doing, this research puts into perspective the “presentism” of many recent works, which tend to see the introduction of new digital technologies as the bearer of an unprecedented historical break, and makes an attempt at highlighting the links of continuity and discontinuity between recent transformations and the technological innovations which preceded them.

Genesis of tax administration tools for "whitewashing the economy"

The subject of the study is tax relations that arise in the process of interaction between tax authorities and taxpayers and are aimed at inducing the latter to pay taxes and fees established by law. The evolution of tax administration tools for "whitewashing" sectors of the economy and individual objects is considered. In accordance with the content of the tools used, a classification was made into five stages of development: the period of formation and development of tax control; the period of creation of the concept of the taxpayer behavior management system; the period of introduction of new digital technologies that make it possible to identify the latent tax base; a period of increasing the efficiency of using tax administration tools aimed at motivating taxpayers to voluntarily pay taxes and use prices in transactions; the period of development of tax administration tools for the "whitewashing" of individual objects of taxation, including by individual taxpayers, the further development of the Federal Tax Service as a "digital service". The scientific novelty of the study is the development of theoretical provisions in terms of analyzing the historical development of tax administration tools for "whitewashing the economy". The definition of the concept of tax administration tools for "whitewashing" sectors of the economy and individual objects is given; the author's classification of tax administration tools for "whitewashing" economic sectors and individual objects is given, which are divided into 4 groups: the introduction of innovative technology that improves the quality of tax administration; regulation of industries and markets; strengthening tax control over individuals; identification of "mass" tax evasion schemes. An analysis of the algorithm for creating and implementing industry projects has been made.

ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИЯ ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКОГО ИНЖИНИРИНГА И РЕИНЖИНИРИНГА

The article deals with the issues of engineering and reengineering of complex performance of works. It is indicated that contracts for the integrated performance of work are one of the most common forms of concluding agreements in the activities of organizations of various forms of ownership. The authors present the consequences of a violation of the integrated performance of work on the activities of the enterprise. The development of the engineering market has a positive impact on the performance of the firm and the introduction of new digital technologies. Attention is paid to companies in the oil and gas sector, which occupy a significant volume of the segment and have proven methods of project implementation, developed cooperation with leading organizations and access to financing. Limitations of liability and risks of intermediary distribution of work, focus on diversification of risks and the role of legislative initiatives in the field of research are indicated. The reformatting of the design and technological infrastructure directly depends on the use of digital technologies in business processes. Reengineering allows you to improve the ability to follow the strategic goals of the organization, increase the creation of added value and organizational efficiency, and solve the problems of low technological readiness of production entities. At the same time, business process engineering depends on the industry in which the company operates, the efficiency of operations and the cost of engineering software for modern modeling. Risk diversification of process engineering and reengineering is limited by capital costs, the nature of the business model, market conditions, ownership structure, and project performance evaluation. The article summarizes the impact of the digitalization of technological engineering and reengineering on improving productivity by reducing transaction costs, reducing project lead time, and improving the business model.

Особливості розвитку регіональних економічних систем на засадах цифровізації в умовах повоєнного відновлення

The study of the development of digitalization of regional economic systems in the context of military aggression and post-war recovery of territories is an urgent and important task for the State today. The European vector of digital technology development, which Ukraine has chosen and is implementing, despite the difficulties, has allowed to significantly improve the development of the digital sector in our country. A study of the state of digital transformation of the regions of Ukraine in the pre-war period was carried out using the Digital Transformation Index, which made it possible to identify the leading and outsider regions in the development of digital content and to identify the strengths and weaknesses for each region as part of the calculation of the relevant sub-indices. First of all, such innovations in digital technologies concern the public sector, which, based on the development of software products (such as Diia), has allowed society to significantly improve and speed up the processes of obtaining a certain list of public services online. Development of the software product Hromada 4.0. for local self-government bodies, has allowed the introduction of new digital technologies in them to ensure equal access of the population to the necessary public services. The main focus of this program is digital solutions to improve municipal governance, increase cybersecurity of data. The development of the «EU4Digital: Supporting the Digital Economy and Society in the Eastern Partnership» program has improved the lives of the population by stimulating economic growth, creating new jobs, supporting small and medium-sized businesses by taking advantage of the benefits of the EU Digital Single Market for Ukraine. The study of the development of digitalization of regional economic systems allowed to identify four areas of obstacles (institutional, infrastructural, ecosystem, and e-government) that hinder this development. Six directions for the development of regional economic systems on the basis of digitalization are proposed, which will increase access to public services for more segments of the population, that should simplify the procedure for obtaining such services and reduce the level of bureaucracy in our country.

Russian Sociology in the Context of Society Digitalization: Results of a Corpus Analysis of Scientific Texts

Using the analysis of a corpus of texts from eight leading Russian sociological journals, the article examines the impact of the digitalization of society on sociology in 2000-2021. Frequency analysis of 13.8 thousand scientific texts tracked the introduction of concepts related to digitalization into scientific circulation. The article reveals the differences between the journals, due to their editorial policy in the selection of articles. Through content analysis of texts, the author studied the experience of using digital social platforms as a source of data and an object of reflection. The text shows that they are being used more and more over time, and since 2019, one in five publications mentions digital platforms. The study confirmed that due to the introduction of new digital technologies, the frequency and complexity of the software tools used by sociologists is increasing. Since 2015, there has been an increase in the number of studies whose authors develop their own algorithms for data collection and analysis. The identified trends are likely to continue in the future, as all the indicators considered show a steady increase over time. In the conclusions of the article, the author formulates the prospects for studying the patterns of development of sociological science using the methods of corpus linguistics.

Застосування інструментів та методів цифрового маркетингу в управлінні підприємством

In recent decades, digitalization processes have had a significant impact on all spheres of social life and determined the need for digital transformation of marketing tools. Today, the choice of opportunities for optimal application of digital marketing tools and methods for effectively managing activities is relevant for enterprises. The purpose of the article is to systematize the methods, tools and techniques of digital marketing for their practical application in the management of enterprise activities. Modern methods and tools of digital marketing are classified, and the most effective methods that should be applied at each of the stages in the process of managing enterprises and promoting goods to the market are singled out. Digital marketing has been identified as using five digital channels. Digital marketing tools are proposed to be divided into three main groups: paid resources; own resources, including sites and pages in social networks; acquired resources. In managing the enterprise, one should search for the optimal ratio between these groups. Several effects that should be expected in the course of the introduction of new digital technologies in the field of marketing have been identified, in particular, the extension of relations with customers, personalization, and improvement of quality and service. Digital marketing trends that should be considered in 2023 when building a business management system are highlighted. These include artificial intelligence, conversational marketing, omnichannel, voice search optimization, and influence marketing. It was established that the successful functioning of enterprises requires a quick response to challenges and changes in the environment; accordingly, the formation of business decisions in the management system of enterprises should be based on analytical data in digital channels of interaction with consumers.

Digitalization of the agro-industrial complex in Kazakhstan in the context of the transition to a “green economy”

The connection between the introduction of digitalization at enterprises and the development of production of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of Kazakhstan in the transition to a “green economy” is considered based on the analysis of the current state of the agro-industrial complex in the country and the forecast of its development. To assess the relationship between the indicators of "green" growth and the introduction of new digital technologies, an analysis of data on the development of innovations in technologies related to the environment was carried out directly with the indicators of "green" growth themselves. The results of the study showed that, despite the consistently low indicators of the development of eco-technologies and the use of renewable energy sources in Kazakhstan, a high growth of agricultural GDP is projected for the studied period. According to the results of the analysis of targeted government programs, as well as the analysis of the problems of the agro-industrial complex and the possible effect of the introduction of digitalization, the active development of digitalization in all sectors of the agro-industrial complex can lead to "green" growth.

The impact of Edtech: strengths and opportunities

Trends and features of the informatization of higher education modern stage

Problem statement. Nowadays, people are increasingly talking not about the progressive development of higher education in the context of the use of digital technologies, but about its more drastic digital transformation. The problem of identifying and systematizing patterns characterizing the development of universities in the context of the mass introduction of new digital technologies, as well as changes in external influences on student training systems, is urgent. The solution of this problem is significant for determining further scientific and pedagogical research, as well as ways to develop teacher training systems. The purpose of the study is to identify on the basis of domestic and foreign analytical data (OECD, UNESCO and others) directions, characteristics, problems and prospects of informatization of higher education. Methodology. The analysis of scientific publications on the development of didactics and the use of modern teaching tools in universities is based on the study of the species composition and specifics of existing digital resources, the use of mathematical methods for processing numerical data and technologies for their visualization. Results. It is shown that modern informatization of higher education is characterized by the spread of online courses, collections of digital resources, a decrease in the number of computer equipment in universities, the penetration of technologies of the new industrial revolution and many other factors. The development of a fundamental component of higher education that is invariant with respect to the development of technologies, the preparation of students for the use of promising technologies in professional activities, the pooling of resources into a single digital educational environment are significant. Conclusion. Research should be continued to ensure and evaluate the quality of all types of learning tools, to identify theoretical and practical approaches to the integration and unification of disparate information systems. There is a need for a scientifically based substantive and methodological update of the systems of training and retraining of all specialists working in the conditions of digital transformation of higher education.

Digitalization of Kazakhstan agro-industrial complex in context of transition to green economy

Transition of the economic development traditional model to the green economy is a modern necessity that determines development sustainability not only for individual national economies, but also for the entire planet. Therefore, the promotion of the green economy in Kazakhstan is the main and only true way of development. The purpose of this article is to study the relationship between introduction of digitalization in enterprises and the production development of the agro-industrial complex (AIC) of Kazakhstan in the context of green economy based on the current state analysis of an agro-industrial complex in the country and a forecast for its development. To assess the relationship between indicators of green growth and the introduction of new digital technologies, an inquiry was made of data on the development of innovations in technologies related to the environment. With the help of green growth indicators, directly according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for 2014–2018, Kazakhstan Bureau of Statistics and foresight studies forecast calculations made in this work. In addition, a mathematical model of the indicator “Gross agricultural output of Kazakhstan” was developed using regression analysis in the context of crop and livestock production in Kazakhstan for the period from 2014–2020, and forecast calculations of this indicator until 2025 are given. Thus, the methodology of this study is based on a comparative, statistical, mathematical and foresight analysis of international and state data on the development of the agro-industrial complex, digitalization and energy consumption (including renewable energy) in Kazakhstan. The results of the study showed that despite the consistently low rates of development of eco-technologies and the renewable energy sources usage in Kazakhstan, a high growth in agricultural GDP is predicted over the studied period. Based on the research results of target indicators of state programs, as well as the study of the agro-industrial complex problems and the possible effect on the introduction of digitalization, the active development of digitalization in all sectors of the agro-industrial complex can lead to «green» growth.

How next generation digital technologies are transforming the pharmaceutical industry

The introduction of new digital technologies in various business sectors leads to numerous changes in the business environment. One of the most tangible such changes is the transformation in the pharmaceutical industry produced by the expanded application of cloud systems, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. The use of autonomous devices and systems is vital in producing high-quality medicines at lower cost and in less time. The research and development phase for developing a new pharmaceutical product is very long and expensive compared to conventional products, and the use of advanced technologies in this process can bring huge benefits to the pharmaceutical industry, while providing an opportunity for regulatory authorities to track all stages of the process with greater transparency and less effort.

INFORMATION AND LEGAL WAYS OF REALIZATION OF CITIZENS' ELECTORAL RIGHTS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Currently, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation, together with electioncommissions of all levels, is implementing measures within the framework of the federal project “DigitalPublic Administration” of the national program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”, the result ofwhich is the digitalization of the electoral process, providing for the introduction of digital technologies anddigital transformation of services for all participants in the electoral process. The paper studies and analyzesthe theoretical and constitutional-legal foundations and principles of the implementation of constitutionalelectoral rights in the conditions of digitalization of the electoral process and the introduction of new digitaltechnologies in the field of public administration, develops recommendations on the introduction and useof digital services for the implementation of the participants of the electoral process of their constitutionalelectoral rights.

A Digital Controller as a Subject of Public Financial Control

The relevance of the study of the concept of a digital controller is predetermined by an active introduction of digital technologies into the control and supervisory activities of authorized bodies, which is expressed in the development of new technologies, the use of automated systems, artificial intelligence and other achievements. The use of digital technologies of various levels of complexity (gradually being introduced, breakthrough technologies and technologies of the near future) to increase the efficiency of the activities of control and supervisory authorities forms a new type of public financial control — digital public financial control that has a number of features, and, accordingly, is carried out by a specific entity. The entity exercising digital public financial control has new characteristics. The term a “digital controller” is new, there is no legal definition of it in the current legislation of the Russian Federation. Plans for the introduction of new digital technologies, especially artificial intelligence and robots, lead to discussions about their role in the legal relations that develop with their participation, that is, they lead to the development and analysis of the problem of attributing them either to objects or subjects. Thus, it seems appropriate to study the concept of “digital controller”, as well as its place in control and supervisory legal relations. At the present stage of development, we can confidently talk about the possibility of considering a digital controller in three aspects: as a control and supervisory authority, which is the subject of digital public financial control; employees of control and supervisory authorities working directly with digital systems; electronic persons, that is, artificial intelligence and robots as independent subjects.

National scenarios of digitalization of political protest

The authors consider significant changes in the political landscape associated with the impact of digitalization. The aim of the work was to study the changes in the characteristic features of political protests due to the introduction of new digital technologies in them. National scenarios of digitalization of political protest are considered through comparative analysis. Case study and comparative analysis were used as research methods. The techniques of the scenario method were applied. The object of the study were five cases reflecting the nature of the digitalization of political protest: protests against the extradition bill in Hong Kong (2019-2020), protests of those who disagree with the results of the presidential elections in Belarus (2020-2021), protests in France against the bill "On Global Security" (2020-2021), protests of those who disagree with the results of the elections in the United States (2020-2021), as well as protests in support of A. Navalny in Russia (2021). The result of the study was the identification of common and special characteristics of the national models under consideration. First of all, the variety of technologies used allows activists to form an alternative information agenda and involve broad masses of people in the protest. Secondly, the harsh reaction of the authorities to protest activity damages any attempts at dialogue between the state and civil society. Thirdly, the network nature of the organization of modern protests determines the trend towards decentralized protest management. Fourth, large media corporations in modern conditions acquire the status of independent political actors. Fifth, the request for anonymity in order to minimize restrictions on the use of digital tools in the future may also become a new serious challenge for public authorities.

ОЖИДАНИЯ ГРАЖДАН ОТ ЦИФРОВИЗАЦИИ В СФЕРЕ СОЦИАЛЬНОЙ ЗАЩИТЫ И СОЦИАЛЬНЫХ УСЛУГ

This paper discusses an issue of the prospects for increasing the information transparency of the system of social welfare and social services in the context of digital transformation through the prism of its perception by the population. We touch upon the issues of low informativeness and insufficient interactivity of official Internet resources on such topics, their unpopularity and, as a consequence — the low awareness of state social assistance and social services among the population. We conducted a survey of the population in the Perm region. The data of our survey show the expectations of citizens who are already receiving or applying to receive social benefits and social services in relation to the introduction of new digital technologies in this area in the near future. Citizens want to be able to independently select possible benefits and social services, choose an appropriate social agency, while doing that with the help of interactive services on the official websites of social welfare bodies and social agencies. They want to consult online, have an option to receive all social services in remote format, make appointments with the social welfare authorities and social agencies via the Internet, complain and evaluate the work of specialists serving them online. Citizens also hope to have terminals in public places with reference information on benefits and social services, to receive leaflets and brochures with such information, to take part in free training on thematic sites and mobile applications, to rent android robots for home-based services for the elderly and persons with disabilities, to enter information about themselves into the databases of social welfare bodies and social agencies on their own. The results obtained can be used for the development of information policy aimed at increasing the efficiency of digital transformation in the social sphere.

Economic security of legal entities in the digital economy

At the present stage of development of society, any economic entity requires improvement of the management system, as the volume of analyzed information regularly increases. The relevance lies in the fact that obtaining reliable, complete and up-to-date information makes it possible to increase the level of accounting and information support and economic security of the enterprise as a whole. The article is devoted to the study of the digital economy through the economic security of the subjects of legal relations, as well as hypothetical ways of leveling them. The novelty of the research lies in substantiating the impact of the digital economy on the level of economic security and accounting and information support of an economic entity, which, in turn, contributes to improving competitiveness at the socio-economic level. The research is related to the analysis of trends in the digitalization of socio-economic systems in the activities of legal entities and information flows in general. The paper discusses various principles and methods of strategic management of an economic entity through the digital economy. The subject and two groups of objects of the digital economy are distinguished. The model of the digital economy's impact on economic security developed by the authors is presented, it demonstrates the main threats and risks of information technology development, with an emphasis on the interaction of producers and consumers, state control, as well as ensuring the adoption of operational, tactical and strategic relevant decisions. The introduction of new digital technologies, automated software and the digital economy together plays a significant role in the process of successful development of an economic entity. These elements contribute to reducing the influence of the human factor, the successful implementation of management decisions and the effectiveness of primary information processing.

Transformation of pedagogical consciousness in the context of digitalization of society

The transition from the informatization stage to the stage of digitalization in the world, including in our country, occurred very quickly. This gives society advantages, but also makes you think about the problems that have appeared in connection with this. Digitalization in education opens up wide opportunities for learning people of different ages throughout their lives, but at the same time requires cardinal changes in the entire education system. All this leads to the transformation of pedagogical consciousness. Since colossal changes in digital technologies, including in the education system, are proceeding rapidly, the consciousness of many teachers does not have time to rebuild. As a result of the study, it was found that this leads to stress, dissatisfaction, fears and irritation. Only a few are interested and excited. There is a process of awareness of one's Self in a changing pedagogical space, one's place in it. The results of the study confirm that the speed of introduction of new digital technologies in the education system depends on the pain of the transformation of pedagogical consciousness. The course Active Methods of Socio-Psychological Learning on the basis of the Master's program Psychological and Pedagogical Education of Samara University allows you to prepare teachers to solve problems related to the transformation of pedagogical consciousness in the context of digitalization of education.

Impact of the Coronacrisis on Germany's Transition to a Climate-neutral Economy

The author continues the study of the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the economic and political space of Germany. The second article outlines the features of the double transition ‒ energy and digital ‒ to a climate-neutral economy. Germany is carrying it out within the framework of the European Green Deal, the adoption of which almost coincided with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The coronavirus crisis has become a catalyst for the transformation processes in the field of energy and digitalization, many of which Berlin began to implement long before the onset of its consequences. Lockdowns have led to a reduction in industry's primary energy and electricity consumption, motivated businesses to relocate employees to home-based work, and accelerate the introduction of new digital technologies. The coronavirus crisis has become a challenge for government departments, healthcare institutions, secondary and higher education, which management and employees were not ready for a quick use of distance technologies. The author analyzes the structural policy of the coalition government, the contribution of German-French initiatives and projects to the implementation of the double transition in the field of energy, cloud technologies and artificial intelligence, assesses the role of a new Climate Protection Law
