Macroeconomic Stability

Acceleration of technological and institutional development results in reduced lags between innovations and their installation in the economy and society, which modifies long-wave patterns (but doesn't cancel them). In this regard, the question arises on the possibility of a "Russian economic miracle" on a new financial and digital basis. This is a question about ecosystems (digital platforms — a relatively recent complex financial and production innovation), the prototypes of which, however, have already been in history. Historical studies of protoecosystems and modern ecosystems, addressed by the author, allow us to answer the question: “ecosystem” (convergent) technologies are a factor undermining macroeconomic stability in the interests of a narrow circle of global and local players and (or) a mechanism for changing technological and institutional patterns (?!).

AbstractDuring the coronavirus global pandemic crisis, we have received information from authentic and inauthentic sources. Fake news, continuous rumors, and prejudiced opinions from digital platforms and social media have the capacity to disrupt social harmony, to stall personal development, and to undermine trust on all levels of human interaction. Despite the wide plurality of perspectives, the diversity of contents, the variety of voices, and the many often-conflicting reasons for publishing, our interactions with information on digital devices are progressively shaping such situations and affecting decisions on all levels. We look at the limitations of existing designs and guidelines in the current paradigm, and we ask to what extent researchers and developers can focus and contribute, through their innovations, to the reduction of uncertainty and cases of misdirection, how they can mitigate tensions between information and humans, and how they can contribute to the maintenance and enhancement of worthy human values. Human-engaged computing (HEC) calls for innate user capacities to be enhanced rather than displaced by digital technologies so that the human factor in interactions is fully exploited and truly efficient symbiotic relationships between humans and devices can be achieved. Under the framework of HEC, we propose 12 research agendas from the theoretical, principled, and practical aspects, in order to develop future synergized interactions between humans and information. The present crisis presents us with a good opportunity to reflect on the need to empower humans in relation to the tools they use and to consider the next paradigm shift for designing information interaction.

Cyberbullying is the usage of computerized transmission to threaten an individual, typically by forwarding messages of an intimidating or menacing nature. Digital devices and electronic media have been a boon for humanity but have also resulted in the disadvantages of various cybercrimes, of which cyberbullying is the most prominent and one of the fastest growing. Cyberbullying in teens and adolescents has been proved to be a reason for various mental disorders, alterations in behaviour, and abuse. Bullying on digital platforms is one of the major issues of concern today. It is vital to keep a check on oneself to prevent cyberbullying and restrain its consequences.

This article examines the development of Afghanistan’s Environment Law to explore the politics of institutional change in a conflict-affected context. Environment was catapulted to prominence in 2002 when it was included in the agenda for reconstruction under the new transitional government. Subsequent efforts to reconstitute Afghanistan’s environmental institutions culminated in the Environment Law written by the United Nations Environment Programme and other international actors, with input from the Government of Afghanistan. The Environment Law was crafted as a model of best practice, intended to modernize Afghanistan’s legislative foundation. However, it experienced significant content drift during the ratification process. As a result, the Environment Law produced institutions that differed in important ways from those initially proposed. Capitalizing on changes made during ratification, I analyze how actors across governance scales interact to translate development models from international to domestic policy spaces. I draw on both structure- and agent-oriented explanations to argue that changes to the Environment Law reflect attempts to increase structural complementarity between global and local systems of governance and cross-scalar contests over authority in the post/conflict landscape. The data suggest that interactions between domestic and international domains provided an opportunity to challenge institutional meaning and content. Ultimately, exploring how global models are incorporated within local contexts provides explanatory power for understanding institutional development. This is important in conflict studies, where the expansion of security theory to include issues like environment has provided new opportunities for strategic intervention by international actors in managing global conflict and its aftermath.

RESUMO Este artigo percorre várias das discussões do professor Rafael Capurro, filósofo uruguaio, residente na Alemanha, a respeito do surgimento de uma ontologia digital na América Latina, e as problemáticas que isso gera na ausência de pesquisa que permita entender o que está acontecendo e quais podem ser seus custos a partir da perspectiva da construção de uma ação moral. O diálogo e o conflito entre a esfera global e local, a percepção de neutralidade a respeito dos dispositivos digitais, a carga paradigmática das tecnologias e ciências que vasculham o desenvolvimento informático, as patologias associadas ao ser digital e os problemas éticos que ele induz são os temas que este documento discute, baseado na obra do professor Capurro.Palavras-chave: Ação Moral; Ontologia Digital; América Latina; Rafael Capurro; TIC.ABSTRACT This article covers some of the discussions proposed by Rafael Capurro, the Uruguayan philosopher resident in Germany, about the emergence of a digital ontology in Latin America, and the problems it generates in the absence of research that allows understanding what is happening, and what may be its costs from the perspective of building moral action. The dialogue and conflict between the global and local spheres, the perception of neutrality with respect to digital devices, the paradigmatic weight of technologies and sciences that search computer developments, the pathologies associated with digital being, and the ethical problems it induces are the topics that this document discusses based on professor Capurro’s work.Keywords: Moral Action; Digital Ontology; Latin America; Rafael Capurro, ICT.

Remote Workers

This paper focuses on how remote workers experienced their job and everyday life during the Italian lockdown imposed by the national government to contain the spread of COVID-19. Specifically, this contribution focuses on the interdependence of work and everyday life, and the role of digital devices and online platforms during the home-confinement period, and it explores the consequences of social distancing measures on remote workers and on their working and personal conditions. The study draws from 20 in-depth semi-structured interviews with remote workers, i.e., individuals which could work from home through digital technologies during the national lockdown. Results highlight that during the lockdown, some participants attempted to cope with the unprecedented triumph of technologically mediated work, others described remote work as liberating and attractive, as it avoids commuting and allow people to organize their activities autonomously, without constraints of space and time. However, their initial enthusiasm decreased after a few weeks of domestic confinement. The experience of remote workers that emerges is a “fractured” one, which appears as a characteristic feature of forced and continuous remote work. Indeed, the coronavirus crisis has accentuated the infrastructural role of digital platforms and intensified the ‘deep mediatization’ of social life and labour, thereby normalizing transmedia work and the ‘extension of already media saturated working conditions’.

The purpose of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive overview of the changing needs of PhD or FPM program. The focus of its overview will extend to an exploration of the needs and demands of modern PhD or FPM programs. One of the first dimensions of this exploration is the nature of Generation Y students pursuing their PhD or FPM programs. One of the first insights this chapter offers is that this generation merges their knowledge requirements, consumption patterns, and social interactions. This merging happens in the context of digital devices and platforms for Generation Y. This merging is inclusive of their educational requirements. When they wish to pursue their educational goals, they seek the same criteria that they evaluate their either requirements on. These criteria are functionality, ease of access and aesthetics. Going on, the denizens of Generation Y seek to contribute as much on digital platforms as much as they receive. In the context of PhD or FPM programs, the students of Generation Y prefer to communicate with other users, experts, and influencers.

Using a projective Riccati equation, several types of solutions of the (2+1)-dimensional generalized Broer-Kaup system are obtained, including multiple soliton solutions, periodic soliton solutions and Weierstrass function solutions. From these, two sets of wave packets are expressed as rational functions of elliptic functions. Especially, peculiar wave patterns that are localized in one direction but periodic in the other direction arise by taking the long wave length limit in one spatial variable. Also exponentially localized wave patterns, which differ from the known dromions, are obtained by taking the long wave length limit in both spatial variables. The interactions of two dromions with inelastic and elastic behaviors are presented
