The Humanities are marginalised in today’s ranking of scholarly disciplines. This is partially due to their poorly monetisable subject matter, as well as the fact that their methodology is firmly rooted in the industrial era. The digital revolution provided the humanities with new technologies. However, the same newly available statistical methods that enable generalisation of a large bulk of materials and management of accurate data are fraught with serious limitations. Despite their ostensible novelty, the new methods cannot solve the epistemological problems of humanist learning; instead, they merely help its further adaptation to the inductive logic of scientific positivism, typical of the industrial era. This means that, given their digital nature (i. e., association with the digital era), they fail to generate a new ontology for the humanities. The value of new technologies is mainly determined by our ability to use them in an unconventional way. In order to preserve the subject matter of the humanities in its entirety, one should learn about the potential as well as limitations of digital methods and devise a positive strategy of their application.

The introduction of the computer into the educational process is a fact. The educational use of new technologies creates a new, more appealing and enjoyable learning environment. The introduction of new technologies into school differentiates the role of the professor by giving him/her a guiding character in a process of experiential approach to knowledge. In the present paper a proposal for the teaching of the chemistry module “Simple Colloids” is presented, with the contribution of video recorded educational experiments. Complete experiments on the subject of “Simple Colloids” and their properties are presented, aiming at familiarizing students with this theory.

Points Of View

The rules of deductive logic are inculcated throughout our intellectual education. They are universally accepted. They provide firm standards of judgement for many aspects of academic study, research, and of our daily work. It is from some points of view perhaps a matter of regret—and from others of challenge–that their scope is not all-embracing, and that a wide range of problems, both of practical affairs and of intellectual inquiry, is beyond their jurisdiction. These problems, of which the subject-matter of this essay is one, involve the process known as induction, or inductive logic. Rules, standards of judgement, do exist in this field, but few have won universal acceptance and many are the subject of vigorous philosophical dispute.

Purpose of the paper: The digital revolution is producing several economic and societal changes. The tourism sector, which is characterized by products with high information content and intangible value, is one of the main industries involved in these changes on both the supply side and the demand side. This paper examines how digital technologies impact tourists’ consumption experiences throughout the entire customer travel journey (planning, booking, experiencing, and sharing), with a special focus on millennials. Methodology: On an empirical level, this research study aimed to describe the tourism-related buying and consumption behaviors of a sample of approximately 700 Italian consumers. Results: The results of this empirical study highlighted that new technologies are used in all stages of the digital customer journey. Most of the respondents were experts in travel planning through digital technologies. The smartphone is mainly used by younger millennials, while the computer is mainly used by older millennials. With respect to social media, millennials prefer Instagram and Facebook for sharing content during and after trips. Research limitations: This research study focused on the center of Italy, and the sample was not representative. Another limitation of this study was that the sample was made up of students, who do not have secure jobs and mainly depend on their parents’ incomes. Practical implications: The practical implications that emerged from this study specifically related to attracting and retaining tourists and increasing their overall customer experience. Originality of the paper: This study contributes to deepen the knowledge of millennials’ behaviors as tourists

The Subject

The article focuses on whether it is possible to use new technologies such as distributed ledger technology (DLT) in shareholder ledger maintenance systems. The article uses Estonia as an example to describe the shortcomings of shareholder ledger maintenance regulation and possible suggestions for reform and applies the principle of technology-neutrality to the subject matter to assess whether the regulation allows the adoption of new technologies, such as DLT, in ledger maintenance. The aim of the principle of technology-neutrality is to secure that the regulator does not create regulation that prefers any particular technology and discriminates against other technologies. Any regulation that is built around a pre-existing technology could suffer from preferring the use of that particular technology and consequently hinder innovation. In the article it is examined whether the ledger maintenance models used in Estonia are benefitting or suffering from the non-existence of technology-neutral technical standards for ledger maintenance and whether the differentiation of treatment of shareholder  ledger administrators is justified on the basis of the principle of technology-neutrality.

Tax administrations around the world face a new era of digital evolution. Tax policy is one of the most important policies of each country, so the time of new digital challenges cannot be ignored. Tax administrations have a huge amount of information that needs to be safe, confidential and disposed of in accordance with regulations and prescribed procedures. In addition to collecting tax revenues, one of the tasks of the tax administration is to serve taxpayers. In digital era, they try to ease the administrative burden on taxpayers using new technologies. New technologies are also used for the purpose of preventing tax frauds and determining the risk of taxpayers. What kinds of new technologies will be used by tax administrations depends on their estimate, but cannot be overlooked if they want to be efficient in their work. Tax legislation is also faced with new challenges such as the occurrence of crypto currency. The subject of this article is the emphasis on the possibilities of applying new technologies in tax administrations, the relationship between tax legislation and technology, the possibilities of digitization and the consideration of crypto currency issues.

The Subject

The subject matter of this paper belongs to multidisciplinary field consisted primary of urbanism and a part of it – urban design, as well as architecture and other fields, like aesthetics, psychology and economy, which supplement certain standpoints. Urban skyline of cities or large parts of the cities, as urban macro-images, are considered in relation to the nature of their origin – self-generated or being effect of the plan, through phenomenon of visual experience and application of new technologies on facades. The question is which ratio of creativity and planned regulation is optimal in the process of creating visually concur- rent urban skylines. If planned solution of total macro-image is done well, the answer is: all regulations should be kept and creativity has no limits. In other cases, it is necessary to establish flexible scope of regulations, so that single elements of urban skyline could be realized in balance between limitations and desired result. Santrauka Šio straipsnio tema priklauso daugiadiscipliniam laukui, iš esmės sudarytam iš urbanizmo ir urbanistinio dizaino kaip jo dalies, o taip pat iš architektūros ir kitų sričių, tokių kaip estetika, psichologija ir ekonomika, papildančių pagrindinius šio tyrimo atskaitos taškus. Miestų ar didžiųjų jų dalių panorama kaip makro urbanistiniai vaizdai čia tiriami santykyje su jų kilme ir pobūdžiu – iškilę patys savaime ar kaip planavimo rezultatas, kaip vizualiosios patirties fenomenas ar naujų fasado technologijų taikymas. Keliamas klausimas, koks kūrybiškumo ir planuojamo reguliatyvumo santykis yra optimalus, kuriant vizualiąsias miesto panoramas? Jei visa apimančio makrovaizdo suplanuotas sprendimas yra teisingas, tai atsakymas peršasi būtent toks: gali būti taikomas bet koks reguliatyvumas, o kūrybiškumas yra beribis. Visais kitais atvejais būtina steigti lanksčius reguliatyvumus, kad paskiri miesto panoramos elementai galėtų būti realizuoti apribojimų ir siekiamo rezultato, nepažeidžiant šios pusiausvyros.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.
