The management of modern companies (enterprises, organizations) is a complex process that includes the selection and implementation of a certain set of management influences in order to solve the strategic tasks ofensuring sustainable financial and socio-economic development. Information and communication technologies, which have reached a new qualitative level in the last decade, greatly expand the possibilities of effective management, since they provide managers, financiers, marketers, production managers with the latest methods of processing and analyzing economic information necessary for making management decisions. The main goal of creating and improving the company's information and communication technology system is to provide information support to all departments of the organization and its management in order to achieve sustainable competitiveness and high efficiency of the company as a whole, taking into account the current factors of domestic and world markets. Based on the foregoing, it can be said that in the modern world information and communication technologies are very important in ensuring the development and maintenance of the economy, as well as for the formation of such a society in which various types of modern systems based on computer technology, networks will be widely used by all segments of the population, information technology, telecommunications.

ABSTRACT Exponential development of information and communication technologies is changing the world of learning. As a consequence of exponential exposure to media and information flows, our brains are adapting and new skills are arising. This especially occurs with the new generation of people who encounter media and information tools at the earliest stages of life. Although many of us are aware of such changes, there is very little research-based information to explain them. In recent years, evidence was presented demonstrating neuroplastic basis of human brain adaptation, although neuroplastic mechanisms are still poorly understood. Today's schools and universities are still analogue, whereas the students can be said to be digital. The educational system does not properly recognize the skills of the new generations and does not respond to their needs. New aspects of social evolution suggest that we should also think not only of adapting our learning skills, but also our social skills. These skills should be integrated into all learning processes, from preschool education to lifelong learning. The aim of this editorial is to facilitate discussion within the medical profession about the arising new world of learning. How to cite this article Lucin P, Mahmutefendic H.

Pervasive healthcare is an emerging research discipline, which focuses on the development of pervasive and ubiquitous computing technology for healthcare environments. Information and Communication Technologies have dramatically evolved during the last decade, laying a solid foundation for the future generation of Ubiquitous Internet access. As a result, current efforts in research and development in the areas of pervasive healthcare, promote the formation of inter-disciplinary international teams of experts, scientists, researchers and engineers to create a new generation of applications and technologies that will facilitate the fully automated information cyberspace systems. The authors discuss the current state-of-the-art in the world of Telecommunications and Internet Technologies as well as new technological trends in the Internet and Automation Industries, while promoting research and development in the interdisciplinary projects conducted by multinational teams worldwide.

The threats of Chinese Huawei's activity in the American and European digital markets have been studied. Prospects for the global implementation of new generation 5G technologies are detailed. The legislation of some countries on the introduction of import substitution programs for software and technological products, especially for the needs of the public sector, is analyzed. Global trends in strengthening cyber security in the direction of eliminating technological dependence on foreign manufacturers of information and communication technologies have been identified. The principles of domestic state policy in the field of software import substitution and technological development are generalized. The directions of improvement of the domestic IT-market and its contribution to cyber security are outlined.

Digital learners prefer to learn in a digital environment and use the technologies of their everyday life. To meet the expectations of the new generation learners, modern education relies on information and communication technologies. They help create an educational environment where innovative ideas and approaches are implemented. The readiness and attitudes of the teachers to use new technologies is a key factor that determines their effective application in training. The purpose of the current work is to present the results of a study which examines and analyzes the degree of readiness of teachers in Bulgaria and their attitude towards the application of cloud computing in the learning process.
