The contribution of the so-called ‘New Economy’ to economic growth in developing countries has so far been minimal. Nonetheless, in the longer run the ‘New Economy’ offers great potential for faster economic growth in post-socialist economies. Realising this potential is, however, not automatic. It could be left unharnessed if there is no suitable institutional and economic infrastructure that would allow for adoption, diffusion, and productive use of information and communication technologies (ICT). The paper here will construct a New Economy Indicator (NEI) that measures the levels of preparedness of transition economies for harnessing the potential of ICT to accelerate long-term economic growth and a catching-up with the developed countries. In the NEI ranking Slovenia scored highest; it is followed by the Czech Republic and Hungary. Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia–Montenegro (former Yugoslavia) occupy the bottom of the table.

The article compares the processes of dissemination of modern information and communication technologies in government bodies in Russia and abroad. It is stated that Russia began the transition to «electronic government» later than the developed countries, in which this process was launched within the framework of large-scale and comprehensive programs for reforming public administration in the 1980s and 1990s. However, to date, there is an alignment in the pace and content of digitalization tasks. At a new stage in this process, the concept of «electronic government» under the influence of such newest phenomena of the emerging information society as methods of analysis of «big data», «artificial intelligence», «Internet of things», «blockchain» is being transformed into the category of «digital government». Achievements and prospects of public administration digitalization are considered on the example of countries with the highest ratings — Denmark, Australia, Republic of Korea, Great Britain, USA and Russia.

The informational age and the age of knowledge that developed the developed countries and slowly touched upon, and the rest of the world implied that human society evolves into a knowledge society where knowledge is considered to be the most valuable resource of the human race. The future will definitely be determined by man's ability to use this knowledge effectively. Technological progress implies different and growing expectations from those who use them, exposing such education to increasing pressures and demands from the environment. Now it is imperative for educational institutions to develop in their student's such knowledge, skills, skills and skills as are required in the environment. The increasing role and importance of information and communication technologies in human society are undoubtedly one of the most important characteristics of today's world. ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) is incorporated into all levels of human organizational activities and has largely influenced communication among people. For this reason, the quality of school work and its direct product the quality of students' knowledge is an essential active and continuous use of ICT in the teaching process.

The Impact

The article simulates the impact of the digital technologies’ development on economic growth, which makes it possible to find ways to improve the quality of various spheres of life and identify areas of the economy, the accelerated digitalization of which will ensure an increase in gross domestic product (GDP). The research used groupings of economic activities that directly influence the development of the digital economy. Using the data of regression models, the coefficients of GDP elasticity from the development of the studied sectors were calculated and used to forecast GDP under the development influence of the studied sectors while maintaining the existing trends. The dynamics of the e-commerce market development in Ukraine, the dynamics of production volumes of products (services) of the main types of economic activities in the field of digital transformation of the economy in Ukraine, the dynamics of financial results of enterprises in the information and telecommunications sector in Ukraine, the dynamics of capital investments in the field of information and communications of Ukraine, the dynamics of foreign investment in the development of the type of economic activity “information and telecommunications” in Ukraine, the dynamics of the development of the main areas of digitalization of the Ukrainian economy in 2010-2018 and the dynamics of GDP in actual prices were revealed. A correlation and regression analysis of the impact of the main indicators of the digital technologies sectors development on Ukraine's GDP is also carried out. The forecast extrapolation trend of production growth volumes of products and services in the information sector of Ukraine was built. A forecast of GDP growth in Ukraine has been constructed, taking into account the processes of digitalization of the economy in accordance with certain trends. The forecast dynamics of changes in GDP under the influence of the IT sector development until 2023 was also illustrated. It was found that Ukraine lags significantly behind most developed countries in terms of the level of industrial production development of information and communication technologies and equipment, Ukraine is completely import-dependent in this area. It has been proved that stimulating the development of information and communication technologies has significant prospects for activating digitalization processes in all spheres of the economy and society and increasing GDP.

Resumen: El número de personas con obesidad ha crecido a nivel mundial desde 105 millones de personas en 1975 hasta 640 en 2016, y esta cifra no para de aumentar. Si las tendencias actuales no cambian, un 20% de la población mundial será obesa para el año 2025. A pesar de que existen regiones en el mundo en las que la pobreza y la hambruna matan a decenas de miles de personas cada día, en los países desarrollados y emergentes el crecimiento económico ha traído consigo más y más comida, pero sobre todo, muchas calorías poco saludables y estilos de vida más sedentarios. Los gobiernos, incapaces de detener esta epidemia sanitaria, tendrán que prepararse para unos costes médicos cada vez mayores. Ante esta situación, es evidente la necesidad de proponer nuevas políticas que permitan frenar el aumento de la obesidad en la población, para así evitar que se produzca una epidemia de severa obesidad. En este artículo resaltaremos aquellas políticas que incluyen tecnologías que permitan asegurar la saludabilidad de los productos alimentarios que se ingieren, que propongan programas mejorados de entrenamiento para la salud, aumenten el nivel de autoeficacia, autorregulación y motivación para cambiar el comportamiento alimentario del usuario.Palabras clave: Obesidad, Prevención, Tecnologías de la información y las comunicaciones, Aplicaciones móviles Abstract: The number of people suffering obesity has grown at world level from 105 millions in 1975 until 640 in 2016, and this number is still increasing. If this trend does not change, it is estimated that the 20% of the world population will be obesity by 2025. Although there are several regions in the world where the poverty and the famine is killing to thousands of people every day, in the developed countries the economical growing has derived in more and more food, but above all, in a lot of unhealthy food and more sedentary lifestyles. The Goverments are not able to stop this health epidemic, so they have to be ready to cope with very high medical costs associated to this problem. Due to this situation, it is evident the requirement to propose new policy measures to stop the obesity in the population, and avoid an epidemic of severe and global obesity. In this paper it is described some of the technological measures whose aim is to monitor and ensure the good quality of food, and propose different training programs for the health, increasing their effectiveness through the self-regulation and the encourage of people to change their nutritional behaviour.

This qualitative study was carried out in two public schools located in the city of São Paulo, SP, Brazil, and involved two primary school science teachers (one from each school). Its objective was to discuss the relevance of continuing education of Science teachers with the emphasis on the use of ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) in their teaching practice, the challenges faced by the insertion of these technological resources in the school environment, and improvements in school facilities. These aspects guide the need for training that prepares the teacher to deal with this type of situation. Data collection was done through the application of two interviews, at different moments of the research. These results were presented at an international event, Enseñanza de las Ciencias 2017, and we were able to observe the difference of realities between the science education in developed countries and noted the relevance of discussing this topic in the context of science teaching in Brazil.   Keywords: Teaching practice; Challenges in Science Education; Information and Communication Technologies.

The spread of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has been recognized worldwide. ICTs are broadly perceived as tools facilitating economic growth and development, especially in backward countries. They are easy and cheap to adopt, require minimum skills for effective use, and bring opportunities for disadvantaged societies. They enable education, knowledge dissemination and sharing, and processing and storing of all kinds of information. The existence of causal relationships between technology diffusion and general economy performance is highly probable. This chapter seeks empirical evidence in existing quantitative links between the process of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) adoption and dynamics of economic growth and development in Latin American countries. The authors consider ICTs diffusion patterns in Latin American countries, approximating the diffusion process by S-shaped curves. Afterwards, they aim to detect if there is any quantitative relationship between ICTs adoption dynamics and economic growth and development, and they estimate to what extend ICTs contribute to economic growth and development. The authors hypothesize on existing statistically significant and strong links between the two. They use panel data for Latin American economies from the years 1990-2011. All necessary data are derived from World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Database 2012 (16th edition) and World Development Indicators 2012.
