The increased role of knowledge in the economics, the growth of the role of education and innovations caused the necessity to revise the role of the basic subjects in the market (the government, business structures, universities) and mechanisms of their interaction. The primary importance is now being shifted towards such subjects of innovations as resource centers, innovative businesses, technological platforms, the clusters capable of exerting efficient influence upon the innovations process, which, in its turn, improves the competitive ability of particular spheres of business and entire national economics. This process also influenced the construction industry. The purpose of this research is to analyze the manifestation of the phenomenon of the knowledge-based economics in the construction sphere. The tasks of this research: firstly, to highlight the evolution of the scientific discipline “knowledge-based economics”; secondly, to analyze the efficiency of the phenomenon on the example of the USA, the EC and Russia; thirdly, to analyze the innovative process in the construction sphere; fourthly, to highlight the role of various institutional structures (resource centers, innovative businesses, technological platforms, clusters) for innovative activity in the construction sphere.

And Oxidative Stress

Three decades ago a revolutionary idea was born that ascribed to dysfunctional endothelia some manifestations of diabetes, the Steno hypothesis, so named after the Steno Diabetes Center, Gentofte, in Denmark. Here I briefly outline the accomplishments accrued in the past 15 years to buttress this hypothesis. Those include development of novel technological platforms to examine microcirculatory beds, deeper understanding of patterns of microvascular derangement in diabetes, pathophysiology of nitric oxide synthesis and availability, nitrosative and oxidative stress in diabetes, premature senescence of endothelial cells and the role of sirtuin 1 and lysosomal dysfunction in this process, and the state of endothelial glycocalyx and endothelial progenitor cells in diabetes. These pathophysiological findings may yield some therapeutic benefits.

Rules Of The Game

In a paper, features of business, or economic ecosystems, considered in relation to the ecosystems of bio-shere, with the usage of four-typed system language of description is analyzed. Such a tool of system interpretation, according to G.B.Kleiner, includes presentation of systems as objects, environments, processes and projects which in relation to social-economic ecosystems have connotation to organizations, infrastructural formations, business-processes and innovative projects. To characterize features of business-ecosystems, besides the four-typed system language, corresponding institutional notions are offered whose study is taken with the analogical system positions where institutions, according to B.H.Yerznkyan, are presented in a role of objects (players – economic agents), environments (market, firm or hybrid rules of the game), processes (the play of the game), projects (long-time norms of behavior). Features of different business-ecosystems with indication of dominated characteristics are analyzed which are as follows: innovation-oriented industrial clusters as objective (organizational) systems, technological platforms as environmental systems, networks or related by networking structures as processed systems and business-incubators as projective systems. In such context the ecosystem serves as an “umbrella” term to characterize the all of its types.

This paper aims to analyze the attitudes among young Ecuadorians with regard to processes of technological practicality. It seeks to identify the turning points in the decision-making process regarding the transfer of data and to examine the associated conceptual debate surrounding the role of related participants, such as governments, supranational organizations, transnational companies and end-users. Interviews were conducted with 299 university students in the city of Ambato, Ecuador, using quantitative techniques. The participants stated that they were aware of practicality but not of its effects and limitations, indicating that not everyone would be willing to give up part of their privacy in return for benefits in frequently used applications such as Facebook, WhatsApp or Netflix. Generally, participants felt dominated by technology, which often masks the processes of dependency associated with the costs and custody of data surrendered in exchange for a benefit. Issues of fairness and security in the treatment of data and the uneven coverage of services highlight a need for greater regulation of technological platforms.

The digitization of health promotion and communication has become a major discourse in healthcare. This paper synthesizes my understanding of the role of health literacy, promotion, education and communication in ensuring effective digitization of healthcare and presents four key findings from a mental health promotion project. First, the pandemic has shown us more than ever how fragile we all are – health-seeking behaviour will increasingly take centre stage over the next decade. Second, why do people refuse to wear masks even though it increases the risk of mortality? Why are individuals not motivated to exercise despite downloading free health apps? Why do people keep eating unhealthy food even when they can afford healthier options? Why? The numbers cannot tell the whole story. Similarly, the proliferation of digital health technology cannot convince people to modify their behaviours nor promote meaningful use of e/m-health apps. Third, deliberate digital health promotion and communication is needed to leverage opportunities in health technology. Fourth, the world needs researchers and experts who understand the broader determinants of health attitudes and are knowledgeable in synthesizing valid health information across various technological platforms, in support of health system needs. I address the implications of my findings and discuss future directions for policy and practitioners.

Viestivät tekoälyt eli luonnollisella kielellä käytävään keskusteluun kykenevät algoritmit ovat yhä tyypillisempiä vuorovaikutuskumppaneita erilaisilla teknologisilla alustoilla. Yksi tyypillinen viestivän tekoälyn muoto on botti: automaattinen ohjelma, joka käyttää verkkopalvelun käyttäjätiliä tavallisen käyttäjän tavoin ja suorittaa yksinkertaisia toimintoja tai viestii. Tyypillisesti botit tavalla tai toisella pyrkivät näyttäytymään ihmiskäyttäjinä, tai ainakin niille ohjelmoidaan ja suunnitellaan ihmisenkaltaisia piirteitä.Artikkeli tarkastelee bottien roolia vuorovaikutuskumppaneina sisäisessä ja julkisessa mediatilassa kytkeytymällä tuoreeseen ihmis-koneviestinnän tutkimusalaan. Keskitymme kahteen empiiriseen tapaukseen: mediaorganisaation sisäisellä alustalla viestivään SlackBot-bottiin sekä Fazerin mainoskampanjan osana toimineeseen LoveBot Blue -bottiin, joka puuttui vihapuheeseen verkossa. Artikkelin johtopäätöksenä toteamme, että bottien inhimillistäminen on tärkeä osa niiden toimivuutta sosiaalisissa ja vuorovaikutuksellisissa tilanteissa. Boteille osoitetaan toimijuutta erityisesti niiden kanssa viestivien ihmistoimijoiden vuorovaikutuksen kautta. Tuloksemme todentavat ihmis-koneviestinnän kirjallisuudessa esitettyä tarvetta uudelleenmääritellä viestinnän, vuorovaikutuksen ja toimijuuden kysymyksiä viestivien tekoälyjen kontekstissa.Bot as a Chat Buddy – Communicative AI as an Anthropomorphized Interactive CompanionCommunicative artificial intelligence, or algorithms capable of communicating in natural language, are becoming increasingly typical inhabitants of technological platforms. One typical form of communicative AI is a bot: An automated program that manifests through a user account like a regular (human) user and performs simple functions or commands. Bots, in one way or another, tend to appear as human users, or at least they are programmed and designed to incorporate human features.This article explores the role of bots as interlocutors in organizational communication and on social media platforms, by building on the emerging literature of human-machine communication (HMC). We focus on two empirical cases: SlackBot, an interactive, programmable bot in operation on Slack within a media organization, and LoveBot Blue, part of Fazer’s ad campaign that was designed to battle hate speech online. In conclusion, we suggest that the anthropomorphization of bots is an important part of their functionality in social and interactive situations. Bots are endowed with agency particularly through the communication of the human actors who interact with them. Our results highlight the call presented in HMC literature that the emergence of new digital interlocutors generates a need to redefine the existing conceptualizations of communication, interaction, and agency in the context of communicative AIs.
