Functional Transformations

Services constitute the most significant economic sector in contemporary economies and their  rank is still growing. The development of services and innovative production as factor of converting  the economy of małopolskie voivodeship acts in a diversified way, both in structural and spatial terms.  Some particular groups of activities are marked by the highest pace of growth. They are the services of  modern character, performing an important role in the process of economic transformation. The main  aim of the study was to characterize the essential changes in the spatial structure of chosen services  in małopolskie voivodeship as well as to determine the direction of the inflow of companies into the  urban region of Cracow, according to the zones of development. The results indicate that the structure  of chosen services in the center-peripheries of małopolskie voivodeship is undergoing transformations  and there are some correlations between their development. In particular cases the activities are remote  from the demand for them (e.g. consulting firms), which is directly connected with the use of new  technologies. Cracow undergoes reallocation of services and industry which is characteristic for the  functional transformations of big cities.

National Settlement System

The research presented in this article focuses on the urban region of Novosibirsk, which is one of the most industrialized part of Siberia and the Asian part of Russian Federation. To show relationships between the city as the core of the region and its peripheral area a case study analysing territorial units within the southern settlement belt along the Novosibirsk–Cherepanovo regional railway line over a distance of approx. 100 km. This belt was chosen because of the continuity of the settlement and due to the presence of different functional types of edge towns. The adopted system, from the core to the area of weakening direct links to Novosibirsk, helped to define the directional profile of the urban region as relating to the demographic and economic characteristics. The research was based on two methods of determining the functions of cities in the national settlement system: a research programme concerning the genesis of functional development and a research programme of specialised functions, the purpose of which is to determine the economic base (exogenous functions) of territorial units. The presented results have shown general tendencies in the transformations of the Novosibirsk urban region’s spatial structure, both in long-term perspective (the generic view of function development) and under contemporary circumstances related to the economic transformation of Russia.

Open Strategy

This chapter examines the development of open strategy practices from the late 1990s. Open strategy involves greater transparency about strategy to internal and external audiences, and greater inclusion for internal and external stakeholders. The contemporary rise of open strategy is supported by three exogenous forces: the dissolving of organizational boundaries internally and externally, a newly democratic working culture, and new technologies, especially social media. Nevertheless, open strategy’s development still involves two kinds of arduous and fallible institutional work: ‘rule-making’ and ‘resource-organizing’. As examples of the first, Gary Hamel’s Strategos Consulting promoted new kinds of democratic strategy norms, while corporates such as IBM developed internal openness through its jams. Under the second, new consulting firms were created such as Global Business Network, while established corporations such as Barclays Bank, Nokia, and Shell had to organize new kinds of participative strategy process.

Ethiopia’s stellar growth performance, guided by amicable development planning, has created a common and shared agenda for economic transformation that has fostered better social outcomes in poverty, universal education, child health, and combating AIDS. This chapter attempts to explore the interest and fascination surrounding the Ethiopian development path, beginning with a consideration of the policy innovations that underpin the experience. It identifies the similarities that connect lessons from three disparate sectoral perspectives—industrialization, social protection/food security, and the success story of Ethiopian Airlines—underlining the pivotal role of coherence, ambition, and innovation in Ethiopia’s development trajectory. Central to these characteristics is the notion that structural transformation is an aggregate of socio-economic sector successes and its potential replicability by other African countries.

New Industrialization

The article attempts to identify the key parameters of new industrialization, scientifically substantiate the place of such components as digitalization, cooperation, and the role of the public sector in economic transformation. An attempt is made to formulate the main theses of the concept of phase, which makes it possible to establish not only the divisibility of the process of new industrialization, but also to identify the main economic characteristics in the form of dominants, determinants and patterns for each phase of neoindustrial transformations. It is noted that, in most of the existing studies, new industrialization itself acts as one of the phases of economic development, along with such phases as industrialization, deindustrialization and reindustrialization. Each of these phases has a corresponding time interval and corresponding key parameters that allow identifying the main processes and results of passing the phase. Moreover, each of these phases also obeys the laws of phase behavior and, accordingly, can be divided into certain phases. The article considers new industrialization as a fourphase process. In view of the fact that new industrialization is a process that includes both the goals of modernization and the goals of innovative development, and thus assumes that there is a lag behind the basic technological development of the potential of the industry, the first phase of the process is the initiation of new industrialization, which implies a control effect on the process. Increasing the productivity of capital and labor in the system of new industrialization presupposes the active use of new technologies and knowledge, the increasing of efficiency through the widespread involvement of technological innovations in the economic circulation, as well as structural changes and the use of new combinations of resources. Digitalization at the initial stage of new industrialization can be viewed as a digital transformation, which leads to the formation of a new technological basis for production. At the stage of the full deployment of new industrialization, digitalization is a determinant that ensures the effective development of neoindustrial transformations. At the initial stage of new industrialization, the form of ownership of industrial resources is considered as a key dominant. The author concludes that key parameters such as digitalization, cooperation and the form of ownership at various phases of new industrialization can act as both determining and influencing factors, and under certain conditions become process patterns.

The relevance of the article is that effective work on the protection of children and adolescents requires coordinated cooperation between the executive authorities, public institutions of education, health, social protection, as well as public organizations working to prevent negative phenomena in adolescence. Today, the issue of improving the efficiency of central and local executive bodies, guardianship and care bodies aimed at prevention of social orphanhood, development of comprehensive social services for children deprived of parental care and families with children in difficult life circumstances remains relevant, introduction of new technologies of social work with such children and families. The mechanism of interaction of executive bodies with public organizations engaged in the field of protection of children's rights is insufficiently effective. The purpose of the article is to, based on the analysis of the achievements of legal science, the provisions of domestic law and law enforcement practice, to identify and investigate problematic issues regarding the administrative and legal regulation of the interaction of the subjects of combating social orphanhood. The article outlines the problematic issues and features of the administrative and legal regulation of the interaction of the subjects of combating social orphanhood. The system of measures for child protection in Ukraine is determined; the order of interaction of the subjects of the system of social services; interaction of entities implementing measures in the field of prevention and counteraction to domestic violence; social prevention measures in the family, children and youth environment; basic principles of state policy on social protection of orphans and children deprived of parental care, as well as persons from among them; the order of registration of children who are in difficult life circumstances. It is concluded that despite significant successes on the part of the state in the face of authorized executive bodies and local governments to prevent and combat social orphanhood, it should be emphasized that the state social policy, the implementation of which largely depends on the interaction of these bodies, should be aimed at strengthening the social protection of families in the context of socio-economic transformation of Ukrainian society.

Dynamic Alignment

AbstractAdvancing Industry 4.0 concepts by mapping the product of the automotive industry on the spectrum of Cyber Physical Systems, we immediately recognise the convoluted processes involved in the design of new generation vehicles. New technologies developed around the communication core (IoT) enable novel interactions with data. Our framework employs previously untapped data from vehicles in the field for intelligent vehicle health management and knowledge integration into design. Firstly, the concept of an inter-disciplinary artefact is introduced to support the dynamic alignment of disparate functions, so that cyber variables change when physical variables change. Secondly, the axiomatic categorisation (AC) framework simulates functional transformations from artefact to artefact, to monitor and control automotive systems rather than components. Herein, an artefact is defined as a triad of the physical and engineered component, the information processing entity, and communication devices at their interface. Variable changes are modelled using AC, in conjunction with the artefacts, to aggregate functional transformations within the conceptual boundary of a physical system of systems.

Abstract Among many other peculiarities of the Book of Ezekiel, the numerous movements and spatial terms mentioned in it stand out. Using the cultural-anthropological concept that underlies rites of passage and related transitional phenomena (A. van Gennep, V. Turner) some of them can be taken as elements of a transitional process. Therefore, the spatial structure in Ezek. 20 and in the overall layout of the Book of Ezekiel is used to illustrate that the Babylonian exile is a necessary liminal phase of the transition from Israel’s status as an apostate people to a new status given by JHWH.

One of new technologies that has gained popularity within a few years is blockchain. Blockchain technology offers distinct advantages over database technology as it provides for thrustless recording of transaction data without relying on an existing intermediary.African countries need technological innovations, such as blockchain, to achieve economic development and converge to the level of other countries. These technological innovations can indeed turn the poor infrastructure of African countries from a weakness into a resource. The continent can be a laboratory where testing and validating new concepts and technologies.The purpose of the paper is to analyse spread, problems, and potential of blockchain in African countries. Moreover, the paper presents policy recommendations as how countries could incorporate the technology towards achieving their economic transformation agenda.The results indicate that this disruptive technology will be essential for African countries in the next few years and the legal and regulatory mechanisms will have to operate in many ways. In order to accommodate this, domestic and regional legislations and institutions would have to undergo some changes to handle blockchain becoming a certainty.
