The Impact

This introductory chapter discusses the relationship between social change, religion, and women's lives and self-definition in the contemporary world. Using international and interdisciplinary perspectives reflective of different religious traditions, this volume pays attention to the specific experiences and positions of women, or particular groups of women, to understand current patterns of religiosity and religious change. Recent studies have shown that there is a strong connection between processes of change — such as the impact of globalization, increased intercultural and transcultural interaction and exchange, migration flows, and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) — and religious identities. Overall, recent literature has revealed a great complexity and often contradiction in late modern negotiations of religion and secularism by women and men, and a range of possibilities for change.

Resumo: O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar algumas reflexões sobre as contribuições do conceito de multiletramentos e do uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TICs) na modalidade de Educação a Distância (EAD). Para a apresentação dessas reflexões pretende-se considerar os pressupostos teóricos advindos das teorias de letramento, mais especificamente dos multiletramentos. A associação de imagens, áudio e vídeo, com ou sem textos escritos, especialmente com as TICs, passam a exigir novas formas de letramento dos  seus usuários, uma vez que a construção de significados  ocorre por meio de modos variados (multimodais). Em outras palavras, as TICs conduzem as reflexões sobre letramento, ampliando o conceito para os multiletramentos, considerados fundamentais para os processos de ensino e de aprendizagem na contemporaneidade em todos os níveis, justamente por considerar o impacto advindo da utilização dos recursos tecnológicos que têm desencadeado novos olhares para o espaço da educação a distância. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: educação a distância; multiletramentos; TICs; linguagem; comunicação. Abstract: This paper aims to present some reflections on the contributions of the multiliteracy concept and the use of information and communication technologies ( ICTs) in the distance education modality. For the presentation of these reflections, it is intended to consider the theoretical assumptions originated from literacy theories, more specifically from multiliteracies. The association of images, audio and video, with or without  written texts , especially with the ICTs,  new ways of literacy of  their  users are required, once the construction of meanings begins to happen by means of varied modes (multimodalities). In other words, the ICTs lead to reflections on literacy, expanding the concept to the multiliteracies regarded as fundamental to the teaching and learning processes in the contemporary world at all levels, precisely by considering the impact resulting from the use of technological resources that has triggered new visions for the distance education area. KEY WORDS: distance learning; multiliteracies; ICTs; language;communication.

The Impact

The objective of this paper is to analyze the impact of Creative Economy to customers of food apps in Brazil. In the first part, it is described how cultural products regarding food and cooking in Brazil work. In the second part, a descriptive analysis of the apps iFood and UberEats is proposed in order to understand how the materiality of these products, as an interface, could influence the choice of the menu. For this, food is regarded as a cultural good. The concept immortalized by Marshall McLuhan "the medium is the message" assists us in the descriptive exercise of verifying how information and communication technologies (TICs) affect the experience of eating in the contemporary world. From this point of view, a comparative exercise regarding the materiality of the applications is proposed.

Educational Field

The impact and benefit that information and communication technologies (ICT) have in the educational field require new teaching skills. This fact has been increased by the recent crisis caused by COVID-19. This study tries to investigate the level of digital teaching competence (DTC) of Higher Education teachers of Health Sciences, and its relationship with several variables. For this, it has the participation of 300 teachers from the 9 universities of Andalusia (Spain). The research is structured through a descriptive (RQ1) and inferential (RQ2) design. The answers given to the DigCompEdu Check-In questionnaire adapted to the Spanish context are analyzed. The results, which show high levels of reliability of the questionnaire (Cronbach and McDonald) and validity (CFA), indicate that the level of competence is basic-intermediate. In addition, the area in which teachers excel is digital resources. For this reason, it is proposed to structure personalized training plans and continue expanding the characteristics of this study at an international level.

Purpose: To identify the current strategic stability problems associated with the destructive impact of information and communication technologies (ICT) on the basis of analysis and systematization according to various parameters of cyber risks and threats to international security and global stability that can reduce the level of strategic stability and to develop relevant proposals that can lay the foundation for creation of a deterrence policy in the ICT domain. Research method: analysis, synthesis and scientific forecasting, expert assessment, comparative analysis of the cyber domain within the framework of a systematic approach. Result: the article presents analysis and systematization risks and threats to international security and global stability emanating from the cyber sphere according to various parameters. The article proves the impact of the accelerated development of information and communication technologies (ICT) on strategic stability, and that ensuring the cybersecurity of nuclear weapons requires special attention. The global problems of strategic stability at the current stage are posed and the conclusions are that the protection of strategic weapons, early warning systems, air and missile defense, communications, command and control over nuclear weapons from harmful ICTs are the pressing global problems of our time. Specific scenarios of cyber threats leading to a decrease in the level of strategic stability below the necessary and sufficient level have been elaborated, and proposals have been formulated to minimize the corresponding escalation threats. Proposed measures can become a basis for a deterrence policy in the ICT domain, as it was done during the period of bipolarity with regard to nuclear weapons, and become the foundation for broader international agreements on arms control in the so-called nuclear information space of the future.
