AbstractDigitalization has an impact on all domains of maritime transport and logistics. Ports’ ability to act as a part of digital networks and information chains is vital for its competitiveness. This requires means and prerequisites to integrate with contemporary technology platforms and system architectures. Such readiness should exist in different parallel processes taking place in organizations of port communities. Successful digitalization requires focused technology management ensuring system and data transfer interoperability. The paper addresses problems, obstacles, and hindrances that ports are currently facing in their digitalization efforts. Interoperability and stakeholder interaction is significant, particularly between the port management, municipal ownership, and business operators and vendors. In the contemporary port development, environmental regulations have an effect on the level and effectiveness of digitalization. The future development of port digitalization will be dependent on the port capabilities to adopt and implement reliable and adoptable technologies with clear vision of the future.

The author gives an overview of the history of National Security and the Future (NSF). The first editorial board accepted a clear vision and mission of the NSF. That is why the NSF had to react to the political circumstances in which the journal has operated for 20 years. In the first period, international circumstances and the policy of detuđmanization directly influenced the choice of topics and papers published in the journal. For the past five years, the NSF has paid particular attention to the security of national and European critical infrastructure. A total of 257 texts were published on more than 8,000 pages and authored by 134 authors from 25 countries. The NSF has published studies on historical forgery, information operations, production of "fake news" and contributions to the theory and methodology of intelligence activities.

AbstractToday I will focus on telecommunications technology for the first decade of the 21st century. Few things incite speculation about the future more than a year ending in the numeral “zero.” With the approaching millennium and its near-mystical three zeroes, everyone everywhere hungers for a glimpse into the future. My vision of the telecommunications future shows a collective of universal capabilities made possible by limitless digital networks with ubiquitous access and functionality. Mobile communications, the Internet, video, telephony and a broad array of end-user services will be the major drivers moving network providers to fuse capability with transparency. Integration of the full spectrum of communication possibilities will be the trend of the 21st century.

This study discusses the holding of an "event" which is an opportunity to overcome the situation of unsustainability tourism in Pantai Kelapa Patimban, Subang. Furthermore, this study explains the importance of coordination with various interested parties in organizing "events". Descriptive studies are used to examine more in depth the situation of the Patimban Coconut Coast which is in a crisis situation after the mega International Port development project began in 2015. The results of the study in the discussion section led to a number of interesting findings, including the fact that the "event" must consider many things and is not as simple as determining the "event" in what field, who is the event host, and who is the target participant / visitor. There are many factors that must be considered to support the smooth implementation of "events" starting from the stage of pre-preparation (event designing), preparation (event preparation), the implementation (event execution), and evaluation (event evaluation). These factors can be learned from other disciplines.The author hopes that through this writing, the author can provide ideas or ideas to bring back the Coconut Patimban Beach to sustainability tourism in the future.

The Internet has reached a stage of maturity where its innovative adoption and implementation can be a source of competitive advantage. Supply chains are one of the areas that has reportedly benefited greatly, achieving optimisation through low cost, high efficiency use of the Internet, almost seamlessly linking global supply chains into e-supply networks. This field is still in its academic and practical infancy, and there is a need for more empirical research to build a robust theoretical foundation, which advances our knowledge and understanding. Here, the main aims and objectives are to highlight the importance of information flows in e-supply chains/networks, and the need for their standardisation to facilitate integration, legality, security, and efficiency of operations. This chapter contributes to the field by recommending a three-stage framework enabling this process through the development of standardised Internet technology platforms (e-platforms), integration requirements and classification of information flows.

Many fear that climate change will lead to the collapse of civilization. I argue both that this is unlikely and that the fear is potentially harmful. Using examples from recent disasters I argue that climate change is more likely to intensify the existing social order—a truly terrifying prospect. The fear of civilizational collapse is part of the climate crisis; it makes us fear change and prevents us from imagining different social relations which is necessary if we are to survive the coming disasters and prevent further escalation. Using affect theory, I claim that our visions of the future affect our ability to act in the present. Rather than imagining a terrifying societal breakdown, we can look at how communities have survived recent disasters to get an image of what we need to expand upon to prepare for the future.

The article discusses functional and semantic status of Future Tense grammatical markers of the Korean language. Despite the fact that discussions on this issue have been going on for more than a dozen years, still among researchers, there is no consensus on how many grammemes make up the category of Tense in Korean, whether it contains an independent Future Tense grammeme, and if so, which markers should be relevant to it. Due to the relevance of the problem, the authors aim to give a brief overview of the opinions on the issue, dividing them into two groups - asserting the presence of the Future Tense grammeme in Korean or denying it, as well as to justify personal position on the status of grammatical markers with prospective semantics. As research material, various Korean grammar researches and Korean grammar (connective and finite endings and constructions with - (으)ㄹ Korean Future Tense participle marker) are used. The result of the study shows that Korean Tense category has no specific Future Tense forms as opposed to the Present and Past Tense forms. All markers with prospective semantics are modal, which means that the Futurum category in Korean implements itself in the functional and semantic field of modality rather than temporality. Authors argue statement that -(으)ㄹ 것이다 Korean construction has the ability to act as neutral non-modal Future Tense marker. According to the point of view of a systemically oriented approach to the grammatical units analysis, presented in the article, the conclusion about Korean -(으)ㄹ 것이다s modal status is made.

AbstractHow can we succeed in meeting the challenges of the future world in the best possible way? In order to support children in their development into optimistic, self-effective adults, it is necessary to find out how children perceive their world and how they combine these perceptions with their cognitive knowledge. This article examines the question of what children’s ideas about the world look like in children at the end of primary school, or what information is included in them. In a pilot study, mental maps were used to visualize the child’s world view. Accompanying questions were used to ascertain the children’s knowledge of current global problems. The focus was on the students’ thematic interests, which accompanied the discussions with the pupils. Already the first evaluations of the Mental Maps, which were made by the students, allow conclusions to be drawn. There is no uniform level in the children’s cognitive maps with regards to the concrete positional relationship of spatial units, e.g. continents and oceans. The statements about the content details of these maps are shaped by the children’s perception. The Mental Maps show a combination of indirect, direct and emotional spatial perception. The awareness of the pupils regarding global challenges, oriented towards the Sustainable Development Goals, proves to be clearly pronounced in the impulse-based interviews in the 4th grade. Thus, the pilot study allows the conclusion that already at the end of primary school pupils develop an awareness of global challenges and the ability to act. The SDGs of the UN Agenda 2030 offer a suitable basis for this. In addition to the development of a worldwide rough topographical orientation grid, the aim is to give children an understanding of global connections and to educate them to become global citizens of the future world.

Chapter 24 draws together the major themes from throughout the book and identifies the lessons that can be learned for Africa and for the rest of the world. It concludes by offering a vision for the future, which can be achieved if Africans ‘claim their own future’, if there continues to be sufficient global solidarity to support health around the world, and if the countries of the continent develop a clear vision of ‘health made at home’.

As I started to think about digital special collections, I found myself pitching into a morass of unknown quantities and speculation. The dominance of electronic journals and aggregations of databases, followed by the news-grabbing mass digitization program at Google, has diverted attention from the fact that some publishers and libraries have been digitizing special collections for a couple of decades or more. For most of that time, an even greater number have been evangelizing the benefits of digital access to unique and rare materials. There was a time when I thought I had a clear vision of the future for . . .
