Based on the comparison of technogenic civilization and traditional society, the article argues that the desire for change is a major feature of technogenic civilization. The latter tends to focus on the practice of writing and data recording. At the same time, the new European scientific knowledge, a key element of the technogenic civilization, emerged not only as the practice of mathematized experimental research of nature, but also as the practice of fixing new data and results and disseminating them among scientists. Management practitioners also actively use data capture. The active introduction of digital technologies has contributed to progress in all areas of public life. The analysis of these processes leads to the conclusion that they pose at least two fundamental challenges to the technogenic civilization associated with new methods of recording and processing data. First, the formation of a person's digital footprint raises the question of the specifics of her or his identity in the digital world and its connection with corporeality, and creates new existential challenges. Secondly, the ever-growing array of data and their active inclusion in the scientific turnover results in a huge number of data processing techniques and technologies. On their basis, research practices are constructed that focus on the search for correlations, rather than the formation of “bold hypotheses” that allow describing the world in a new way.

Abstract Background It is almost impossible to think about a non-digital world today. digital technologies have changed our life style and they have also affected many domains including health domain. We are all aware that paper-based hospitals have changed a lot to be paper-less. Then a new term was born which is “smart hospital” and studies have been conducted in this field, so this study was designed to conduct a comprehensive review about smart hospitals. Methods 741 studies were identified using unique keywords through searching in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Embase and Scopus databases. Overall, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria (647 based on abstract title and 33 after reading full text) and removing duplicates (43), 18 studies were included in this review. Results Geographically, most of the articles were from Asia (50%). The highest number of publications were observed in 2012. A multidisciplinary team were involved in 77% of the researches and 61.12% of them were conducted in more than one research center. The majority of articles have been published in Q1 quality journals (33.34%) and high-income countries accounted for the largest percentage (66.67) of publishing smart hospital related articles. 27.78% of the studies were aimed at patient care, which had the highest percentage. Among the technologies used, RFID was the most and 66.67% of the articles came from researches about the implementation of a smart hospital. Conclusions it should be noted that development or implementation of a smart device in a hospital should not be considered as implementing a smart hospital, while many studies have used the term smart hospital in their study. Many Asian researchers have used the term “smart hospital” in their articles, but on the other hand, most of related articles published in Q1 journals were from America and Europe. Also, it was also observed that most studies focused on the two concepts including resource management and patient care.

Evolution of professional language reveals advances in geophysics: researchers enthusiastically describe new methods of surveying, data processing techniques, and objects of their study. Geophysicists publish their cutting-edge research in the proceedings of international conferences to share their achievements with the world. Tracking changes in the professional language allows one to identify trends and current state of science. Here, we explain our text analysis of the last 30 annual conferences organized by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG). These conferences are among the largest geophysical gatherings worldwide. We split the 21,864 SEG articles into 52 million words and phrases, and analyze changes in their usage frequency over time. For example, we find that in 2019, the phrase “neural network” was used more often than “field data.” The word “shale” became less commonly used, but the term “unconventional” grew in frequency. An analysis of conference materials and metadata allows one to identify trends in a specific field of knowledge and predict its development in the near future.

Our knowledge is constantly shifting from analog literacies to digital literacies, industrial literacies to information societies, paper literacies to screen literacies, and mono-modal literacies to multimodal literacies for which digital technology and/or digital culture has become a dynamic and evolving force. Concerning the literacy shifts whether we realize or not, we are invariably encountering digital technologies and are explicitly and/or implicitly embracing such knowledge shift in almost all across the world without any exception. This knowledge shift demonstrates that digital literacy has become an inescapable component of our daily life in the context of the 21st century's digital world. In this chapter, I will discuss affordances of cloud/digital pedagogies such as what teaching, learning, and writing are in digital context, how digital, cloud, or crowd pedagogy currently became an inescapable element, and why instructors from any global communities (should) welcome this pedagogical shift in academic spaces. Additionally, this chapter stresses on how instructors can engage students in the cloud environment, how students can share a complex set of linguistic and cultural narratives, and how students can collaborate and cooperate to create their realities in the context of the 21st century's networked classrooms.

New Generation

The article deals with the problem of interaction between generations in the emerging digital age. With the introduction of digital technologies into everyday life, qualitatively new conditions for the existence of society are formed, what affects the interaction of generations. Based on the following classification of generations – the “book” generation, the “TV” generation, the “Internet” generation – which have different value attitudes, specific ways of organizing work, communication, forming value ideas and priorities, different ways of experiencing life in general, the authors explore the characteristic features of a new generation. These include the problem of freedom and transparency of existence in the world of gadgets. The article also discusses the problem of communication in the presence of an intermediary – a gadget that sets its own rules of social interaction, including short communications aimed at achieving fractional, rapid goals, what leads to the situativeness of human existence in the digital world. The next problem that follows from the previous one is the problem of personality and its self-determination, which is expressed in the presence of polyidentities. The fourth characteristic feature is a specific way of getting information. The turn-of-the-century generation is also characterized by the absence of a “big hero” and the absence of a “big goal” that people of previous generations aspired to. As a way to achieve intergenerational consensus, we propose the formation of a multi-figurative culture in which all the generations which we have identified participate equally.

Productivity And Competitiveness

The modern world space has long gone beyond the construction of the information society, because digital technologies are absorbing more and more areas of public life, radically changing the forms and methods of their implementation. Therefore, most countries in the world focus on development in the direction of building a "digital economy", using all possible competitive advantages from its implementation. Ukraine is trying to keep up with the development of information technology in various areas of both public sector governance and public life. Some achievements have been made, but the systemic and synergistic effect on the development of the country has not been achieved, despite the significant potential of domestic IT professionals, who are among the top five IT outsourcers in the world. In my opinion, the very use of digitalization in the field of governance in the public sector can be the first impetus for digital transformations for the development of Ukraine's competitive economy. Therefore, they need -analysis of theoretical and practical approaches to a detailed study of the features of digitalization in the public sector of Ukraine during its digital transformation and the development of proposals for their implementation, which was the topic of my research. The word "digitalization" has entered our vocabulary so imperceptibly, but quite thoroughly, that in 2019 it was even recognized as the word of the year. Although the very definition of the concept is still debated not only in the domestic scientific field, but also abroad. The Dictionary of Modern Ukrainian Language and Slang "Myslovo" explains this neologism as a transliteration of the English "digitalization", which means changes in all spheres of public life related to the use of digital technologies, and is a manifestation of the global digital revolution. In my opinion, I agree with my colleagues that the development of digital transformations in the system of public sector management and administration is a potential example for the whole country, which in general also provides significant benefits for private companies - increased productivity and competitiveness, as well as for people. - acquisition of new knowledge and skills, choice of work and expansion of opportunities.

Chronic Anxiety

The paper considers the alarmism inherent in humanity regarding changes caused by the entry into life of achievements of scientific and technological progress. It is noted that all opponents of progress use the fruits of his previous achievements, but at the same time express fears about newly emerging innova­tions, since they cause discomfort, bringing to the world something unusual, in relation to which tradition has not yet constituted. It is quite expected that similar phobias are also caused by the development of digital technologies – fears about the digital degradation of youth, fear of artificial intelligence, etc. In the digital world, however, there is another reason for the rejection of progress. This is the pace of the emergence and invasion of a novelty into the space of human exis­tence. Whereas in previous eras, adaptation to innovations passed through sev­eral generations, today radical transformations of the technological and, as a re­sult, socioeconomic infrastructure occur many times in the course of one human life. A qualitative leap in the speed of socio-technological development and the problems generated by the new temporality of the digital world in the conditions of a sharp narrowing of the horizon of foresight form chronic anxiety, which is based on doubts about the future, the correctness of the chosen life path and even the consistency of ideas about the meaning of life and human destination, gained in the process of modern upbringing and education.

The Relationship

Published in tandem in 2013, Franco Moretti’s two most recent books continue his on-going project to develop radical new methods of literary history and to propose new formulations and frameworks for understanding the relationship between form and history and form and ideology. Bringing together the series of essays through which he developed his concept of distant reading, his collection of the same name argues for a ‘falsifiable criticism’ grounded in the data now available through digital technologies and for the concept of a ‘world literature’ that it is the task of comparatists to theorise. His book on the bourgeois – characterised by Moretti as a project of an entirely different nature – finds in the minutiae of language the construction of a bourgeois culture in which the figure of the bourgeois himself ultimately disappears. Contra Moretti, the review contends that these books are deeply interrelated and that the limits of Moretti’s method are to be found specifically in the issues of scale raised by reading these two works in dialectical relationship to each other. In particular, while Moretti importantly forces us to confront in world literature what Fredric Jameson refers to as the ‘scandal of multiplicity’, his method is unable, in the end, to account for a reading of the world in literature in which both the empirical fact of a dead history and the allegorical possibility of another history already in the making can be found.

Encryption Method

The widespread of internet allover the world, in addition to the increasing of the huge number of users that they exchanged important information over it highlights the need for a new methods to protect these important information from intruders' corruption or modification. This paper suggests a new method that ensures that the texts of a given document cannot be modified by the intruders. This method mainly consists of mixture of three steps. The first step which barrows some concepts of "Quran" security system to detect some type of change(s) occur in a given text. Where a key of each paragraph in the text is extracted from a group of letters in that paragraph which occur as multiply of a given prime number. This step cannot detect the changes in the reordering letters or words of the paragraph and text without changing the letters themselves. So, the next step uses one of the error detection methods which is named Hamming Codes to find out the locations of the change in the received text. After that; at the third step, RSA as a primary encryption method has been used to encrypt the keys extracted to the first step and second step in order to prevent the intruders to break down the security of the method.
