Active promotion of digital technologies in the energy sector requires a change in the principles of building energy systems, as well as the concept of their expansion planning. The functioning of infrastructural energy systems that are transforming as a result of the innovative development is fundamentally impossible without advanced information and communication technologies and intelligent digital tools. Energy systems are becoming sophisticated cyber-physical systems. At the same time, the problems of cybersecurity are exacerbating. The joint functioning of several types of energy systems in the form of a single integrated energy system provides new functional capabilities. The use of digital technologies in integrated energy systems provides the collection, processing, transmission and representing of information on all components of the system regarding all aspects of integration. Digitalization of integrated energy systems is carried out in the following two directions: application of digital technologies for individual subsystems for the purpose of their control; the use of digital technologies for technical and technological integration solutions in order to ensure coordination of subsystems and the implementation of system-wide goals. The adoption of digital technologies in integrated energy systems contributes to the organization of flexible, coordinated control of the expansion planning of such systems.

The introduction of information and communication technologies into the educational process began more than twenty years ago, along with the rapid spreading of computers around the world. However, not all educational institutions have supported the inclusion of information and communication technologies into the educational process for the above-mentioned quite a long period of time. Most likely, this was due to insufficient financial investments in modernization. In addition, insufficient attention was initially paid to training of teachers for working with digital technologies. At present, when information and communication competence has already been included into all international standards for teachers, it turned out that neither graduates from teacher training institutes nor teachers who have been working for already a long period of time have sufficient competencies for using digital technologies in practice. A comparative analysis of Russian and European professional standards for teachers is carried out, and the competencies they should possess are considered. Various versions of the information literacy definitions are given, which have undergone changes in the technological development process. Special attention is paid to the requirements for competencies of foreign language teachers in the field of digital technologies. The list of the currently available digital tools, including mobile devices, is discussed. The students actively use such technologies to learn languages, but to yield a really positive effect, digital tools should be integrated directly into the educational process in a professional manner. The experience of work with digital technologies gained by the teachers of the NRU MPEI Department of Foreign Languages is considered. A conclusion has been drawn, according to which a high level of information literacy enables teachers not only to change their own pedagogical methods, but also to open new horizons for their students, who, in turn, gain access to high quality education.

The paper analyzes up-to-date distance learning technologies used in European education system for ensuring overall organization of the educational process during the COVID-19 pandemic. Quarantine conditions have become a catalyst for development and practical testing of virtual learning tools and innovative pedagogical technologies, and application of the experience with them is a necessity of today and a strategy for the future. The article is focused on distance learning technologies in higher education. Institutions of England, Germany and France are chosen for the study due to their banner quality of educational service, like the University of Oxford, for example. The basis for successful conduct of all types of classes is employment of universities’ own specialized learning platforms. The learning model remains more similar to the traditional one. The main role continues to belong to communication between qualified teachers and students through various interactive web applications, while digital technologies create space for such interaction, filling it with learning materials. Students get access to all educational services using a single password to the university network. At the same time, some learning materials are available with open access, video lectures and podcasts are popular. Unlike other countries, education in Germany is governed by strict principles of information and data protection. In the contrary, in France many courses have been made available on network, and the education system has instantly adapted to work in virtual mode through the developed system of national distance learning platforms and the massive open online courses. The result of effective distance learning organization in Europe during the pandemic is that the introduction of digital technologies and transition to more flexible learning models become the education strategy at the state level, while pedagogy becomes an area of advanced development of information and communication technologies. Key words: distance education, online learning, information and communication technologies, educational platforms, quarantine, COVID-19.

This analyzes how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can be used by governments to involve all citizens in society life through increased access to education, employment, public services, as well as participating in decision-making. Given the risks of deeper social exclusion associated with the lack of digital competences or capabilities, targeted measures to encourage ICT engagement may strategically be implemented to provide equal opportunities. Furthermore, digital technologies open up new communication channels that governments can use to deliver valuable citizen-oriented public services and foster social and political involvement. In order to reach inclusiveness and participation objectives, technology is obviously not enough. Some commitment to openness and transparency, as well as an effective assessment of policy outcomes range among the pillars of a successful approach to digital governance.

Developments in information and communication technologies have raised the issue of the intergenerational digital divide that can take place between “digital natives” and “digital immigrants”. Despite emphatic claims concerning how educational systems must take into account the specific characteristics of “digital natives”, sound empirical research on these topics is lacking, especially for Europe. This paper presents the results of research performed during the course of 2008, studying how university students in Italy use digital technologies. The research is based on a survey of 1086 undergraduate students at the University of Milan-Bicocca, complemented by focus groups and in-depth interviews. The results of our research show that, even if university students are familiar with digital technologies, the general possession of high level skills in accessing and using the Internet should not be taken for granted.

During the last decade, improvements in information and communication technologies have made possible the transformation of knowledge transfer processes from purely informal to increasingly formal and more diverse communication mechanisms that enrich intra-organizational communication channels. In this chapter, the authors followed a case study approach to analyze three Mexican companies with the objective of understanding how companies in the IT sector are implementing digital technologies to achieve knowledge transfer in their organizations. The findings suggest that workers seek and choose tools that can be personalized and customized to adapt to their own needs. New digital technologies are proving to be a new and relevant channel of communication among people: therefore, these should be considered to be one possible way to motivate knowledge transfer at work.

AbstractThe mission to move from fossil to renewable energy sources is accompanied and enabled by the digitalization of our energy systems. With the introduction of information and communication technologies, the widespread integration of distributed, renewable sources, even in the distribution grid, are enabled. New use cases such as fast EV charging, local energy communities and dynamic energy tariffs are also enabled. However, this move toward digitalization also increases the exposure of the energy systems for cybercrime and raises concerns regarding the privacy of personal data. In this article, we address the issue of privacy in smart energy systems and give an overview of current methods to enhance privacy.

Zero Sum

In this article, I liken information and communication technologies (ICTs) or digital technologies to what we in West and Central Africa have the habit of referring to as Juju. I invite as scholars of the digital humanities to see in the region’s belief in incompleteness and the compositeness of being human, as well as in the capacity to be present everywhere at the same time an indication that we have much to learn from the past on how best to understand and harness current purportedly innovative advances in ICTs. The idea of digital technologies making it possible for humans and things to be present even in their absence and absent even in their presence is not that dissimilar to the belief in what is often labelled and dismissed as witchcraft and magic that lends itself to a world of infinite possibilities – a world of presence in simultaneous multiplicities and eternal powers to redefine reality. The article argues in favour of incompleteness as a normal way of being. It challenges students of humanity to envisage a relationship between humans and digital technologies that is founded less on dichotomies and binary oppositions, nor on zero-sum games of conquest and superiority. If humans are present in things and things in humans, thanks to the interconnections, the flexibility and fluidity of being that come with recognition of and provision for incompleteness, it is important to see things and humans not only as intricately entangled, but also as open-ended composites.

This paper connects the scholarship of labour sociology with studies of information and communication technologies (icts). It contends that, despite the wonders of social progress associated with digital technologies, the emergence of the digital electronics manufacturing industry in Asia has led to serious regressions in society. Among the worst of such digital disruptions is the challenge of Foxconn, the world’s largest electronics manufacturer and one of the most notorious sweatshops in the history of industrial capitalism. Tragedies at Foxconn force us to reconsider industrialization and the role oficts so fundamentally that it requires us to revisit old regimes of slavery in order to fully understand these events. From a critical historical perspective, this paper examines disruptive moments in Foxconn while developing the idea of iSlavery and, in particular, manufacturing iSlaves, as a conceptual device to rethink the Foxconn suicides as emblematic of a disruptive and disrupted digital Asia.
