Information and Communication Technologies ICT as a Source for Technological Development

<p class="0abstract">The perception, empathy, expression and regulation of emotion have been recognized as the determining factors to everyday communication and psychosocial adaptation in children. Deficits in them can cause emotional and social problems and affect everyday life. This paper aims at investigating by reviewing the current clinical and empirical knowledge of psychoemotional and social development as much as emotional intelligence in children diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) coexistence looking into the emotion recognition deficits as well as processing, reciprocity and emotional expression deficits noticing and characterizing these children mostly. Moreover they are considering and being studied the technical means and the ways that they could help in the development and growing of social skills and emotional intelligence. The results proclaimed that the therapeutic contribution of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) can be determinant.</p>

The Impact

In recent decades as a result of the development of information and communication technologies (ICT) and the Internet, we have witnessed major changes in companies. The ICT support of the processes is becoming more and more extensive and comprehensive, which enables the realization of digitalisation. The interconnection of processes, machines, people in a single network makes another level of optimisation available. The changes turned up by digitalisation are not only technological, but they also have an impact on the company's organisation and strategy. Our study aims to create an analytical framework and map the opportunities that digitalisation promises in the food industry and the organisational changes that ICT and technological development bring, with special emphasis on the impact on strategy, employees, and corporate culture. Our results show that companies are not consciously engaged in digitalisation yet, but they exploit their opportunities and make improvements in this sense. Adaptation of digital solutions is often forced by the labour shortage, the pressure to achieve higher efficiency and thus to remain competitive and to service the growth strategy.

Since the end of 20th Century, the introduction of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has deeply influenced many aspects of everyday life, leading to the creation of new meanings for the traditional concepts of identity, culture, economy and, above all, communication (Mantovani, 1995; Perriault, 1989; Rullani, 2002). Trends about technological development show how, in the next years, the change will gradually concern all elementary daily actions, due to spreading of the electronic devices in the environment (OCDE, 2002; Saracco, 2003). If ICT will be ever more deeply-rooted in our reality, how fast will they consequently influence our socio-cultural identity? What sort of consequences do we have to imagine at economic level? What variety of scenarios can we draw about our future? And, above all, how will the concept of development change?

Human Skills

Faced with technological development and that of new information and communication technologies (NICTs), organizations' service structures and their processes have become increasingly flexible, interactive, and virtual. Industrial maintenance is one of the features that can take advantage of this change based on NICTs. The objective is to improve the reliability and availability of industrial equipment and installations, as well as to maintain a knowledge base allowing the capitalization of human skills. This makes it possible to keep production equipment at a distance and quickly by relying on remote maintenance and e-maintenance platforms. This allows real-time management between operators around industrial problems related to maintenance. In this chapter, the authors describe the change in the maintenance function between the classic strategy and the modern strategy, explaining the contribution of augmented reality to help solve problems in a remote maintenance or industrial e-maintenance task.

The new economic structure in the world has dragged all sectors into a different formation. This formation is a process called globalization, which transforms comparative advantages into competitive advantages in all domestic and foreign markets. It is unlikely that the "Tourism Sector", which is considered one of the most important areas of today and the future, will not be affected by these events. This study seeks to analyze the changing market structure in the tourism sector with globalization and technological developments, and an assessment of the sector's competitiveness and how they can be brought into the country's economy.

The introduction of digital technologies in the monitoring and management activities of organizations is an important tool for the transformation of economic system at modern phase of the latest industrial and technological revolution. Currently, there is no unifed methodological apparatus for describing the state and development prospects of digital transformation. The analysis of objective patterns of the digital transformation of the Russian economy can be carried out by constructing mathematical and statistical models that make it possible to analyze the stages of digital maturity in the past and to determine the future development of projected digital phenomena.The purpose of this article lies in modelling and forecasting of dynamics of digital transformation of the activities of organizations.Digital transformation was measured based on indicators of the use of information and communication technologies in organizations, namely: Internet connection, website, purchase of goods and services via the Internet, use of software tools of the ERP, CRM, SCM class.Growth curves are one of the most common tools for modeling technological development trends. For each time series, the accuracy of four models of growth curves was assessed: the Gompertz, Weibull's, logistic and log-logistic.The practical application of this study is that the proposed approach can be used to assess trends in ICT diﬀusion in organizations by type of economic activity and by size to obtain a more complete characterization of digital maturity and further prospects for digital transformation of the Russian economy.
