Radiomics is a science that investigates a large number of features from medical images using data-characterisation algorithms, with the aim to analyse disease characteristics that are indistinguishable to the naked eye. Radiogenomics attempts to establish and examine the relationship between tumour genomic characteristics and their radiologic appearance. Although there is certainly a lot to learn from these relationships, one could ask the question: what is the practical significance of radiogenomic discoveries? This increasing interest in such applications inevitably raises numerous legal and ethical questions. In an environment such as the technology field, which changes quickly and unpredictably, regulations need to be timely in order to be relevant.  In this paper, issues that must be solved to make the future applications of this innovative technology safe and useful are analysed.

Problem setting. High technologies, being a characteristic feature of the modern world, determines the widespread introduction of innovative approaches and methods in various spheres of human life. The trend of digitalization has also influenced the legal services industry. Already today there is a high degree of influence of information technology on the choice of formats for the organization of work processes of lawyers, the choice of tools for professional activities and methods of providing legal services. Therefore, it is important to study the impact of information technology on the prospects for further development of advocacy, in order to ensure the effective functioning of the legal practice Analysis of recent research and publications. Among the studies on the impact of information technology on legal activities should be noted the work of legal scholars such as O.V. Spivakovsky, M.I. Sherman, G.H. Yavorska, V.M. Stratonov, B.A. Zaplotynsky, G.S. Polishchuk, M.V. Protsenko, I. Zhilinkova and others. However, the growing influence of information technology on the provision of legal services causes the need of an additional comprehensive analysis. The target of research in this article is to analyze the impact of information technology on the current state and prospects for further development of advocacy. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Speaking about the prospects of advocacy, it should be noted that the hyperactive development of information technology over the past decade has led to the introduction of telecommunications, information resources and Internet services in all spheres of human life, and advocacy is no exception. Information technologies are often the key to the transition to a qualitatively new level of legal business, as their use provides the introduction of new technical tools and integrated approaches to meet the needs of clients in legal aid. As a result, it is concluded that the impact of information technology is crucial to the future development of advocacy. However, the traditional and conservative nature of advocacy is an obstacle to the innovative development of legal services. Besides, it is necessary to change the current information legislation, which will promote more active implementation of the latest approaches in the field of jurisprudence. Given the above, the main focus should be on overcoming these obstacles, in order to ensure the effective functioning of the legal practice in the future technological world.

In this paper the author examines the socio-pathological aspects of delinquent groups issues in Serbia. After reviewing the definition and features of delinquent groups, we offer a chronological analysis of various forms of local delinquent groupings from the mid-20th century to the present. Next, the relationship between those groups and various socio-pathological manifestations was examined. In the final section, the author summarizes the features of this phenomenon, and offers his own perspective of its evolution in the future. Moreover, the author discusses the overwhelming influence of information technologies on the transformations and contemporary tendencies of delinquent groups and delinquency in general. This can have a dual impact on socio-pathological phenomena: as a factor in reducing the occurrence of traditional deviant behavior, but also as a factor in the expansion of new socio-pathological phenomena

This paper discusses how large law firms should re-organize themselves to maintain a competitive edge in the increasingly digitalized legal field. While providing a brief historical introduction to the rise of large law firms and the challenges posed by the rise of digital capitalism and the gig economy, the paper proposes an original and radical approach to reforming large law firms in the light of the digitalization. Among other things, the paper discusses (I) the partnership as organizational tool for large law firms in an increasingly digital and agile legal field; (II) the importance of multidisciplinary practices and of the relationship between lawyers and non-lawyers within firms; and (III) the centrality of outsourcing strategies to legal tech companies and other actors in order to deliver legal services more effectively and in a more client-oriented manner.

The global modern technology market in the construction industry is valued at billions of dollars and the approach to technology diffusion taken by vendors has a major impact on the success or failure of those technologies. While many previous studies have examined the adoption and the diffusion of information technologies, the technology diffusion process for advanced on-site equipment such as tower and mobile cranes, piling rig and concrete pumps has received little attention. Based on interviews with vendors and customers covering regions in Australia and North America, during major construction equipment exhibitions, this paper presents a new equipment technology adoption model which, for the first time, describes the relationship between customers and vendors during the on-site technology adoption process. The implications of the model for fostering new on-site technology diffusion to boost productivity are discussed.

All developments in relation to the Internet and cyberspace in Iran have occurred in a highly politicized post-revolutionary environment. Yet the central issue is not the obvious and crude divide between a ‘traditional’ and ‘religious’ state and ‘modern’ technology, since that very state has adopted new information technologies. There are two more subtle lines of tension running through Internet development and digital activism in Iran.  The first is the centralizing state’s desire to control expression in a ‘new technology’ environment that is highly conducive to widespread and popular participation. The second is the centralizing state’s desire to orchestrate and manage the slow development of the private sector and the inhibitions placed on entrepreneurial ICT activity in a field that has made net millionaires in other parts of the world. This chapter examines the relationship between the internet and politics in Iran. It engages with the possible lessons of digital activism, examines various organizational and media strategies, and factors in broader internal and external issues that help or hinder the growth or success of rebellion against regressive and repressive state and policies, and then moves on to explore the expansion of the Internet in the country in its wider social context.

The Relationship

The topic of what interviews measure has received a great deal of attention over the years. One line of research has investigated the relationship between interviews and the construct of cognitive ability. A previous meta-analysis reported an overall corrected correlation of .40 ( Huffcutt, Roth, & McDaniel, 1996 ). A more recent meta-analysis reported a noticeably lower corrected correlation of .27 ( Berry, Sackett, & Landers, 2007 ). After reviewing both meta-analyses, it appears that the two studies posed different research questions. Further, there were a number of coding judgments in Berry et al. that merit review, and there was no moderator analysis for educational versus employment interviews. As a result, we reanalyzed the work by Berry et al. and found a corrected correlation of .42 for employment interviews (.15 higher than Berry et al., a 56% increase). Further, educational interviews were associated with a corrected correlation of .21, supporting their influence as a moderator. We suggest a better estimate of the correlation between employment interviews and cognitive ability is .42, and this takes us “back to the future” in that the better overall estimate of the employment interviews – cognitive ability relationship is roughly .40. This difference has implications for what is being measured by interviews and their incremental validity.

This study aimed to investigate the conditions in which Bitcoin has developed as a leading cryptocurrency and, according to Nakamoto (2008), could become an instrument for everyday payments around the world. In comparison to other digital payment solutions, Bitcoin is based on a peer-to-peer electronic cash system using “the blockchain”. This innovative technology allows for decentralised storage and movement of currency in a fully anonymous way, introducing advantageous methods for encrypted security and faster transactions (Hagiu & Beach, 2014). Scepticism regards Bitcoin’s foundation, energy consumption and price volatility, however, did not take long to arise (Holthaus, 2017). Ten years from its white paper release, Bitcoin is further supported by the same drivers which could sustain its growth as the future of digital payments (Russo, 2018). In order to investigate the key drivers and feasibility of acceptance, a London based survey was used to understand the desirability of Bitcoin as a day-to-day tool for digital payments. Additionally, this research analysed Bitcoin’s stakeholders and forecast drivers of sustainability for its application to become the future of the payment industry. A space which relies on policies that involve multiple layers of society, governments, regulators and tech-firms, all on a global scale. The findings confirmed how the increasing lack of trust of political and financial institutions, coupled with the increasing cases of data-breaches by tech-firms, encouraged over 70% of respondents to consider more decentralised and anonymous methods for their day-to-day actions; like payments. Policy makers need to cope with societies increasingly separating politically but gathering together digitally (LBS, 2017). For Bitcoin to truly establish itself as a global digital payment solution, key stakeholder acceptance must converge alongside the introduction of more robust regulation.
