The traditional tourism model has changed with the appearance of new technologies. The traditional marketing tools used by Travel Agencies are disappearing, giving way to improved methods of marketing to promote tourism products which are based on the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Buying habits have changed due to the fast development of the Internet in the last 10 years. With Web 1.0, websites were static and not very interactive but now Web 2.0 allows content creation and on -line communication between users as creators and consumers of information. In recent years, tourism companies have begun to create direct marketing channels with the client to avoid dealing with intermediaries, to improve efficiency and to reduce costs. This allowed users to book a trip or a tourism service by themselves through the network and at a significantly lower price. Advice previously found in Travel Agencies is now provided by users who have used the service and whose experience brings an unique and different point of view. This whole phenomenon has forced Travel Agencies into the background because now the tourist is more experienced, more informed and familiar with these new tools born from the Web 2.0. Although interaction between the customer and the travel agent generates added value, many traditional Travel Agencies have closed their businesses and could disappear as they are known today. However, many possibilities could be opened to them if they adapt to the current market, an environment which encourages the use of new technologies from Web 2.0 to Social Networks to keep and attract new customers.

Technological factor is mainly underestimated in the literature on institutions and organizations. Although organizational studies and information technology are disciplines dedicated respectively to studying socio-political and technical aspects of organizing, cross-fertilization among such fields has remained quite limited. Only rarely the variable of technology has been interpreted as a crucial element for explaining institutional uniformity. From a more general point of view, changing technical factors have been considered “relatively unimportant sources of organizational change in a mature organizational field” (Yang, 2003, p. 433). Only after the spread of the information and communication technologies (ICTs), a good number of studies has started to consider the relationships among information technology and organizational structure (Guthrie, 1999). Neo-institutional analysis on the use of information technology was mostly directed at showing how the embeddedness of organizational actors “in cognitive, cultural, social, and institutional structures influences the design, perceptions, and uses of the Internet and related [information technology]” (Fountain, 2001, p. 88). Therefore, it can been argued that most of the literature on this field concerns the way in which technology represents a social construct, because it shows that any technological application is strongly influenced by social aspects, such as cognitive frames, political culture, local traditions and so forth. Yet, a few contributions have been dedicated until now to investigate how institutions change through the introduction of new technologies. Although technological innovation is said to be the source of variation in a given institutional context, as “new technology offers new possibilities for solving problems [and] new practices arise when innovative organizations take advantage of its novel benefits” (Leblebici, 1991, p. 335), little attention is focused on technological variables. Despite such disregard, in the following article some examples of the strategic use of information and communication technologies will be included, with specific reference to pressures exerted by ICTs for producing “institutional isomorphism.”

IntroductionThere are enormous expectations for e-health solutions to support high quality healthcare services, with accessibility, and effectiveness as key goals. E-health encompasses a wide range of information and communication technologies applied to health care, and focuses on combining clinical activity, technical development, and political requirements. Hence, e-health solutions must be evaluated in relation to the desired goals, to justify the high costs of such solutions.MethodsHealth technology assessment (HTA) aims to produce rational decisions for purchasing new technologies and evaluating healthcare investments, like drugs and medical equipment, by measuring added value in relation to clinical effectiveness, safety, and cost effectiveness. It is desired to also apply HTA assessment on large scale e-health solutions, but traditional quantitative HTA methodology may not be applicable to complex e-health systems developed and implemented as ongoing processes over years. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses of these processes risk being outdated when published, therefore action research designed to work with complex, large scale programs may be a more suitable approach.ResultsIn the project, we followed the development of a new process-oriented electronic patient record system (EPR) in northern Norway. Part of the process was structuring clinical data to be used in electronic forms within the system. This was the first time a health region structured the clinical data and designed the forms; receiving feedback alongside the process was very important. The goal was to use structured forms as a basis for reusing EPR data within and between systems, and to enable clinical decision support.DiscussionAfter designing a prototype of a structured form, we wrote an assessment report focusing on designing a methodology for such development, which stakeholders to include, and how to divide the work between the health region and the system vendor. The answers to such questions will have both practical and economic consequences for designing the next phase of the process.

Resumen: Son innumerables las investigaciones que se han realizado en el mundo sobre los efectos y beneficios de las nuevas tecnologías versus población y la ciudad digital en sus análisis y conclusiones consideran que existe una nueva problemática en el mundo a la que se le denominó “brecha digital”. Sin embargo, no se han realizado investigaciones acerca del efecto que tienen las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación TICS sobre el tejido asociativo inmigrante de Argelia, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Mali, Marruecos, Rumania y Senegal en España. El objetivo principal de esta investigación es determinar la incidencia de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en el tejido asociativo inmigrante en España, así como conocer el uso de éstas en el quehacer cotidiano de las asociaciones y sus implicaciones para las mismas, partiendo de una metodología no experimental, comparativa, descriptiva y de etnografía virtual. En sus conclusiones queda claro que la brecha digital afecta las asociaciones a partir de la diferenciación entre las que tienen acceso a internet, los conocimientos para el acceso y cuentan con contenidos de calidad, de las asociaciones que no.   Palabras clave: Tecnologías de la información, Redes Sociales, Migración.   Abstract: Countless researches have been done in the world on the effects and benefits of the new technologies of information and communication ICT versus population and the digital city in its analysis and conclusions consider that there is a new problematic in the world called "digital divide". However, there are not conducted researches about the effects that ICT has had on the immigrant associations network of Algeria, Bulgaria, Colombia, Ecuador, Mali, Morocco, Romania, and Senegal in Spain. The main objective of this article is to analyze the impact of new information and communication technologies on the immigrant network in Spain, as well as knowing the use of them in the daily work and their implications for them based, starting from a non-experimental, comparative, descriptive and virtual ethnography methodology. In its conclusions is clear that the digital divide affects these associations from the differentiation between those with internet access, the skills to access and the quality on the contents, from those without internet access   Key words: Information Technologies, Social Networks, Migration.

This paper examines what happens when young learners in a primary school in Hong Kong start from learning about information and communication technologies (ICTs) to learning with and through ICTs. The authors focus on how students used learning technologies when an H1N1 outbreak closed the school for three weeks and teachers were required to use ICTs to initiate at-home learning. This gave the researchers an opportunity to assess the capacity of young students using Web 2.0 technologies to support learning and the impact that these tools have on teacher views and practice. Data includes interviews with teachers and examples of students’ work. Findings demonstrate how confident and comfortable young learners are with new technologies, raising questions about prevailing assumptions that young students have the capacity to easily use the existing school-based learning management system and Web 2.0 applications. The authors provide evidence that students can effectively engage with ICTs and demonstrate very high levels of skills. However, students did not do so automatically, and required assessment tasks were often key drivers for initiating student engagement and learning.

         El conocimiento proporciona a los profesionales de la salud  el poder de mejorar los sistemas de salud,  tiene beneficios evidentes que realmente podrían marcar la diferencia en la vida de las personas, algo evidente en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI). En el ámbito de la medicina crítica siempre estamos ante situaciones en las que es necesario pensar rápido con el objetivo de procesar la información clínica y la obtenida mediante la tecnología disponible, con el fin de instaurar un tratamiento y evaluar su eficacia.  La gestión del conocimiento   (GC) es la clave para el cuidado del paciente en estas situaciones difíciles, por lo que tendremos que planificar y utilizar  el conocimiento disponible: la investigación básica, la tecnología y la experiencia clínica. Así la GC ayuda a mejorar los objetivos de la organización: mejora la atención por patologías y permite generar la información necesaria para una mejora en la atención de estos pacientes. Implica una visión organizativa en el que las personas cooperan llevando a cabo procesos de atención basados en la evidencia, eficacia y eficiencia. Es por ello importante una buena gestión del talento (capital humano) con el empuje de los nuevos profesionales y su combinación con los profesionales seniors que aportan la experiencia y los valores en la práctica clínica (1). Así, la gestión del conocimiento es una estrategia que convierte los valores intelectuales de las organizaciones en una mejora de la productividad, valor añadido e incremento de la competitividad. Por lo tanto, la gestión del conocimiento  consiste en la producción, distribución, almacenamiento, evaluación, transferencia y en la propia gestión practica de ese conocimiento.                       Los principales motores de la GC en cuidados intensivos, consiste en  estructurar el conocimiento clínico (CC) por patologías, promover y formar el conocimiento en tecnología (CT) para el diagnóstico a pie de cama y el soporte de órganos;  y el conocimiento global de la  organización (CG): con la obtención de datos con las tecnologías de la información y comunicación (TIC), la calidad asistencial y la seguridad del paciente. A continuación expongo desde  un punto de vista clínico de cómo debe ser estructurada la GC dentro de una UCI, así como las áreas que deben ser implementadas en el futuro. ABSTRACT Knowledge provides health professionals the power to improve health systems, has obvious benefits that could really make a difference in people's lives, something evident in an intensive care unit (ICU). In the field of critical medicine we are always faced with situations in which it is necessary to think quickly with the aim of processing the clinical information and the information obtained through the available technology, in order to establish a treatment and evaluate its effectiveness. Management of knowledge (MK) is the key to patient care in these difficult situations, so we will have to plan and use the available knowledge: basic research, technology and clinical experience. In this way, the CG helps to improve the organization's objectives: it improves the care for pathologies and allows generating the necessary information for an improvement in the care of these patients. It implies an organizational vision in which people cooperate carrying out care processes based on evidence, efficacy and efficiency. Therefore, good talent management (human capital) is important with the push of new professionals and its combination with senior professionals who bring experience and values in cllinical practice. Thus, knowledge management is a strategy that converts the intellectual values of organizations into an improvement in productivity, added value and increased competitiveness. Therefore, knowledge management consists of the production, distribution, storage, evaluation, transfer and in the practical management of that knowledge. The main drivers of in intensive care, is to structure the clinical knowledge (CK) for pathologies, promote and train in technology knowledge (TK) for diagnosis at bedside andorgan support; and the global knowledge of the organization (GK): with the obtaining of data with the information and communication technologies(ICT), the welfare quality and the security of the patient. Below I discuss from a clinical point of view how the CK should be structured within an ICU, as well as the areas that should be implemented in the future.

Con el presente artículo, pretendemos dar a conocer el conflicto y los retos tanto policiales como procesales, para hacer frente a un variado e innovador tipo de delincuencia que atenta constantemente «desde el lado oscuro de la red» a los Derechos Fundamentales de nuestros ciudadanos, pero que de manera especial, en los años que llevamos de crisis1 económica, se ha incrementado sustancialmente. Para ello, hemos realizado un estudio técnico informático y procesal penal2, de los fenómenos afectados. Nuestro estudio que se basa fundamentalmente en la experiencia profesional adquirida durante los años precedentes, en contacto con los distintos fenómenos analizados, se sustenta no solo en la investigación sobre fenomenología, sino que además, se sirve de las posturas de quienes, en las áreas tratadas, son especialistas en la materia. Todo ello, para mostrar un trabajo que pretende una exposición específica para el modelo que afecta al código penal español3, siendo conscientes que el estudio no se limita a los conceptos y términos desarrollados, porque para un mayor alcance de la fenomenología analizada, hubiera hecho falta relacionarlo con otros modelos internacionales, al trascender este tipo de delitos y crímenes, las fronteras de los Estados. No obstante, este estudio se concreta por motivos de espacio y objetivos, a la extensión que presentamos. Este artículo tiene tres partes bien diferenciadas. En primer lugar introduce y diferencia una serie de términos relacionados con el fenómeno del ciberdelito y la seguridad cibernética. En segundo lugar, se lleva a cabo un desarrollo desde un punto de vista técnico informático, para tratar la problemática emergente que supone una serie de fenómenos, para los que no existe una concienciación social precisa en nuestra sociedad y que exige una respuesta inmediata y coordinada de todos, para que se adopten las medidas necesarias, no solo por los fans de las redes sociales, sino también por cualquier ciudadano de a pie que use las nuevas tecnologías para usos personales: buscar empleo, llevar a cabo transferencias u operaciones por la web, etc; dado que existe un alarmante crecimiento del modus operandi del ciberdelincuente en el 2012. En tercer lugar, analizamos cuales pueden ser los métodos más eficaces desde el punto de vista jurídico penal4, para combatir y frenar estos ilícitos cibernéticos5. Finalizaremos nuestro estudio, con unas conclusiones.With this article, we aim to raise awareness of the conflict and the challenges both police procedural, to address a varied and innovative type of crime that threatens constantly «from the dark side of the network» fundamental rights of our citizens, but especially so in the years we have economic crisis, has increased substantially. To do this, we studied computer technician and criminal procedure of the phenomena involved. Our study is based primarily on the experience gained during the previous years, in contact with the various phenomena analyzed, is based not just on research on phenomenology, but also uses the positions of those in the treated areas are specialists in the field. All this, to show work that seeks a specific exposure to the model affects the Spanish penal code, be aware that the study is not limited to developed concepts and terms, because for a greater range of phenomenology analyzed, would have needed relate with other international models, to transcend these offenses and crimes, the State boundaries. However, this study is specific for space reasons and objectives, to the extent that we present. This article has three distinct parts. First introduced and unlike a number of terms related to the phenomenon of cybercrime and cybersecurity. Second, it performs a development from a technical standpoint computer, to treat emergent problems involving a series of phenomena, for which there is no precise social awareness in our society and that requires immediate and coordinated response of all, to adopt the necessary measures, not only for fans of social networking, but also for any ordinary citizen to use new technologies for personal: find a job, perform transfers or transactions the web, etc., since there is an alarming growth of cyber criminal modus operandi in 2012. Third, we analyze what may be the most effective from the point of view of criminal law to combat and stop these illegal cyber. Finally we study with conclusions.

The constant development of information and communication technologies (ICT) has led to numerous social and economic changes. In this article, we aimed to identify the framework of use of new technologies in the process of customer value management from the perspective of sustainable development in the context of the concept of the engaged customer. The research objective involves an empirical verification of the forms of customer engagement from the point of view of the utilisation of ICT. To discover and explore the patterns that follow, research based on quantitative methods was carried out. The study was conducted with a sample of 1134 individual respondents from Poland, which is one of the biggest and fastest growing e-market in Europe. The findings prove that in the process of customer value management, informal communication, both offline and online plays a critical role. From the perspective of business practice, a company should stimulate customer engagement by making use of the online environment, thus gaining greater control over the entire process of co-creation of value for both customers and itself. Taking advantage of ICT in the process of customer value management is highly relevant and much desired during the time of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.
