The Relationship

This article proposes to study the changing relationship between religion and the digital continent as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this objective, the paper is divided into three parts. First, it offers an overview of the connection between religion and the digital environment, outlining four possible paradigms of the open relationship between these two worlds. Second, the article discusses the research project undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic on behalf of the Corporation of Thanatologists of Quebec, focusing on the relationship between delayed funerals and delayed grief. In particular, this article deals with one of the solutions proposed to thanatologists, i.e., the development of a culture of bimodal ritual, both in person and remote, and therefore partly digital. Using this solution as a pointer, religion’s shift toward digital technology in the COVID-19 period is analyzed in the third part of the article. To this end, the four paradigms drawn from the overview are set against the research focus areas resulting from the solution proposed to the Corporation of Thanatologists.

Sustainability Problems

Clustering of services in the conditions of digital economy development is considered as a way of their integration with the purpose of increasing customer satisfaction, as well as that of strengthening the competitive position of service organizations based on the promotion of green consumption. Services are clustered with the aim of satisfying one main or several interconnected needs of individuals or businesses taking into account the degree with which the consumer influences the process of service delivery. This paper demonstrates how clustering of services can be used to solve sustainability problems. It is shown that digital technologies allow the service provider to customize a service to fit the needs and requirements of a particular consumer within the first type of clustering in the service sector, and they are also included in the service support of the main service within the second type of clustering. Moreover, these technologies have their own value for the consumer within the third type of clustering and provide tools for the fourth type of clustering. In general, digitalization promotes technologization and cooperation in service clusters. The authors suppose that further research can be done into how the types of clustering mentioned manifest themselves in different industries.

This paper examines literacy as it affects Space Technology in Nigeria. The place of digital technology enables a proper understanding of literacy in Nigeria. The paper is divided into four parts. The first section redefines literacy in order to understand the possibilities of meanings based on the perceptions of James (1984), Onukaogu (2008), Arua (2009) and Ajayi (2009) that conceptualize the complex nature of literacy and its indispensability. The second part visualizes the role played by literacy in educating technological advancement in Nigeria, bearing in mind that in 1999, the Federal Government of Nigeria approved the Nigerian Space Policy and the implementation of the space program. The third section underscores the socio-economic relevance of literacy in enhancing global space technology for Nigeria while the fourth section relates Ajayi’s (2009) projection in a meta-critical manner, so that Nigeria can become a world power. The theoretical framework for this paper is the “Transformational Theory”. The theory opines that “learning occurs as a result of transformation of participation in culturally valued activities” such as space technology. The paper emphasizes practical findings to stimulate excellence and literacy relevance in science and technology.

This chapter considers how digital technology has altered the world of elite athletic performance and what this means for the future of sports. It explores how digital technology has become a pervasive—and legal—form of performance enhancement, along with having become a ubiquitous presence in an athlete’s life. It discusses how digital technologies have altered training methods and how they transform the fairness of sports, while also considering how this has influenced the work of those officials who oversee the smooth running of sports. Moreover, it discusses how knowledge arising from digitization is shaping an athlete’s experience of sport, which includes their presence within social media. The chapter also argues for the virtualization of physicality within a range of sport forms, both elite and non-elite.

Pop artist Kenny Scharf has reflected american cultural contents and social message. In his works, there are fears of wars and AIDS in the late of 1970s. This his view of world inflected to virtual images filled with positive energy and humor. Thus this article explores the analysis of simulacre with trans-boundaries focusing on hybrid storytelling in his pop arts. This study aims to analyze following four elements. Firstly, his works have the characteristics hybridity bound for universe. Scharf makes use of common things, sciences, and religion and connected within universe and utilizes comic, animation, soap opera and etc. Secondly, we can see relational rebirth of common objects. Many objects in his works, they go forth from independent thing to interactive relationships. Thirdly, double functions of pop arts such as enjoyment and criticism which is one of main purposes in pop art. Finally, artist’s ontological behavior from dystopia to utopia. This is represented by spacial exhibition based on artitist’s imagination. In the third chapter, these four characteristics have explained with pop arts relevant to each categories. Recently various simulacres have been represented in many areas due to digital technology. Advanced reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality will be showed in anot only costumers’ technological experiences in exhibitions but also fine art itself. Thus we need to be interested in an artistic representation of technological simulacre in modern society. This article considers trans-boundaries of simulacre and expects hybrid visual images in art.

The term “game lore” does not have its exact equivalent in Polish. However, it remains an important manifestation of the reception of computer games. It is also an example of how computer games are initiated or supplemented by entertainment systems operating in the field of popular culture. Research on game lore can provide information that parts of the tradition of man living in times dominated by digital technology, continues to perpetuate and update, and why these, and not others. Basically, one can distinguish three main types of game lore. The first — as a complement to the entertainment superstructure — concerns cases when game developers reach the known universe (for example LOTRO) — and develop the ideas of the author (J.R.R. Tolkien). The second — as the basis of the new supersystem — is associated with the original ideas of programmers who create a new universe (for example, the Warcraft series, The Elder Scrolls). The third example — connect-ed with the evolution of the new universe and the supersystem in new and autonomous lore (for example League of Legend).

Abstract The aim of the present study is to examine the characteristics of the third-level digital divide among elderly Hungarians (over 65 years of age) in Romania. The third level of digital divide indicates the emergence of digital habits in the Bourdieusian sense, which provide real benefits in different areas of everyday life. Hungarian elderly people in Romania are clearly lagging in terms of the third-level digital divide. The explanation for this is partly to be found in the limits imposed by the characteristics of their age and partly in their socio-economic situation. Elderly Hungarian people in Romania tenaciously adhere to their usual ways of life and previously established daily habits, and their repertoire does not integrate the use of digital technology. The results obtained in this study of elderly Hungarians in Romania are in line with the research results of digital inequalities, according to which there is a relationship between the degree of digital competence, the structure and usefulness of digital activities, and inequalities according to the traditional dimensions of social stratification (economic, cultural, individual).
