The Relationship

Within the digital humanities, social network analysis - using digital technologies to examine the relationship between people, places and things - has explored a wide range of digital communication formats, from emails to tweets. This has been made possible because of the large amount of online digital data and has spawned many new techniques specifically aimed at analysing very large datasets, often termed Big Data. The quantity of data resulting from digital communication is enormous, and therefore a tempting source of raw material. However, there is also a long tradition of non-digital communication, letter-writing, which shares many of the formal characteristics of digital formats and also constitutes a huge body of data.

Digital transformation is inevitable, regardless of the personal attitude of people to this issue. Researchers distinguish between organizational transformation using digital technologies (identity enhancement) and digital transformation (creating a new identity). In other words, digital technologies can become a tool for non-systemic transformations of existing structures, but thanks to understanding their nature, one can find ourselves in a situation of evolution of the structures themselves and, accordingly, the daily life of a person and social practices. The article proposes the concept of the digital ecosystem of the university as an instrument of digital transformation, which contributes to the development of the digital transformation methodology and can be used as the basis for the digital maturity index of the university and the development of a calculation formula. The research findings may be of interest to policymakers in charge of digital transformation policy at universities. The article reveals that in scientific periodicals the term "ecosystem" is interpreted in three semantic clusters: business ecosystem; innovative ecosystems; digital ecosystems. In this study, the concept of an ecosystem is interpreted in the context of digital transformation in relation to the digital environment of the university. The digital ecosystem is an instrumental concept, i.e. a means of digital transformation that reconstructs the environment and identity of the university. The digital ecosystem as a means of digital transformation, formulated by the author of the article, structurally contains the following elements: digital environment, which includes information and technical infrastructure; interaction participants (stakeholders); system of connections between participants; involvement of participants; the functions of the university reflected in the figure; idea and values, including regarding digital technologies; digital productivity and adequacy (implementation of digital solutions used by participants to maintain the ecosystem). A digital university is not only about having a network architecture or a digitally packaged educational product. It is also about the participants, their engagement, values and digital productivity. It should be borne in mind that if digital data is a raw material for the digital economy, then digital productivity becomes an important element of human digital activity.

Rosy Pictures is a body of photographic work that considers the relationship between medium, material, and process in the formation of human memory. Found family slide archives,Kodachrome slides depicting landscapes, interior and exterior spaces, travel, gardens, and family portraiture are combined, layered, and re-photographed using light to form new spaces that rest somewhere between reality and fiction. Combining both analogue and digital technologies, material function is questioned in a culture dominated by moving image screens, and ephemeral digital data. In this way, the outdated Kodachrome slide object becomes an immaterial trace of its material existence, and a catalyst for exploring how photography frames the past within the present.

Educational Information

A number of topical problems of higher education caused by the processes of its digitalization are discussed, including the problems of university online teaching of chemistry and other chemical disciplines. The problem of incorrect use of educational information by students from the Internet is due to the excessive dependence of students on digital technologies and their insufficiently critical attitude to online educational information. The related problem of replacing systematic knowledge with superficial and incomplete information from sources of digital communication requires an immediate solution. The specifics of online teaching also cause special psychological problems of the relationship between the teacher and students. The problem of incomplete adequacy of electronic media used in the educational process and the related problem of insufficient technical support of online technologies are also serious. Possible ways and means of solving these problems are considered.

AbstractRedshift surveys constitute one of the prime tools of observational cosmology. Imaging surveys of the whole sky are now available at a wide range of wavelengths, and provide a basis for the new generation of massive redshift surveys currently in progress. The very large datasets produced by these surveys call for new and sophisticated approaches to the analysis of large-scale structure and the galaxy population. These issues, and some preliminary results from the new redshift surveys, were discussed at the second Coral Sea Cosmology Conference, held at Dunk Island on 24–28 August 1999. This is a summary of the conference; the full conference proceedings are on the WWW at http://www.mso.anu.edu.au/DunkIsland/Proceedings.

The Relationship

The globalised digital media ecosystem can be characterised as both dynamic and disruptive. Developments in digital technologies relate closely to emerging social practices. In turn these are influencing, and are influenced by, the political economy of professional media and user-generated content, and the introduction of political and institutional governance and policies. Together this wider context provides opportunities and challenges for science communication practitioners and researchers. The globalised digital media ecosystem allows for, but does not guarantee, that a wider range of range of contributors can participate in storytelling about the sciences. At the same time, new tools are emerging that facilitate novel ways of representing digital data. As a result, researchers are reconceptualising ideas about the relationship between practices of production, content and consumption. In this paper I briefly explore whether storytelling about the sciences is becoming more distributed and participatory, shifting from communication to conversation and confrontation.

Supply Side Factors

The role of monetary factor in generating inflationary processes in Russia has stimulated various debates in social and scientific circles for a relatively long time. The authors show that identification of the specificity of relationship between money and inflation requires a complex approach based on statistical modeling and involving a wide range of indicators relevant for the price changes in the economy. As a result a model of inflation for Russia implying the decomposition of inflation dynamics into demand-side and supply-side factors is suggested. The main conclusion drawn is that during the recent years the volume of inflationary pressures in the Russian economy has been determined by the deviation of money supply from money demand, rather than by money supply alone. At the same time, monetary factor has a long-run spread over time impact on inflation.

The Relationship

This chapter focuses on sex/uality in the context of so-called new media and, specifically, digital discourse: technologically mediated linguistic or communicative practices, and mediatized representations of these practices. To help think through the relationship among sex, discourse, and (new) media, the discussion focuses on sexting and two instances of sexting “scandals” in the news. Against this backdrop, the chapter sets out four persistent binaries that typically shape public and academic writing about sex/uality and especially digital sex/uality: new-old, mediation-mediatization, private/real-public/fake, and personal-political. These either-or approaches are problematic, because they no longer account for the practical realities and lived experiences of both sex and media. Scholars interested in digital sex/uality are advised to adopt a “both-and” approach in which media (i.e., digital technologies and The Media) both create pleasurable, potentially liberating opportunities to use our bodies (sexually or otherwise) and simultaneously thwart us, shame us, or shut us down. In this sense, there is nothing that is really “new” after all.
