Labour relations have been hit deeply by information and communication technologies (ICT). A wide bibliography has described this impact on all the working conditions and in all the circumstances that surround subordinate work. However, less attention has been devoted to the realm of trade union activity, representation, participation and involvement rights, collective bargaining and industrial action. All that huge field has to be re-thought from the point of view of the technological footprint as well. It is a discussion about strategies and adaptation to the current ways of information and communication. Consequently, a problem of adaptation of labour relations players to those channels. This paper tries to answer briefly to some of those questions taking the Spanish system as an example when necessary. Spanish legislation and case-law are described and criticized as long it is necessary for the overall discussion but taking into consideration the globalized literature on this subject. Las relaciones laborales han sido fuertemente afectadas por las TIC. Una amplia bibliografía ha descrito este impacto en todas las condiciones de trabajo y en todas las circunstancias que rodean el trabajo subordinado. Sin embargo, se ha prestado menos atención al ámbito de la actividad sindical, de los derechos de representación, participación e implicación, negociación colectiva y conflicto. Todo este vasto campo también debe ser reinterpretado desde el punto de vista de la huella tecnológica. Es, antes que nada, un debate sobre estrategias y sobre adaptación de los canales actuales de información y comunicación y, en consecuencia, un problema de adaptación de los actores de las relaciones laborales a esos cauces. Este artículo pretende responder brevemente a algunas de esas cuestiones, tomando como ejemplo el sistema español. Se describen y critican la legislación y la jurisprudencia españolas, pero se toma en consideración la literatura global sobre el tema.

The article is devoted to the problem of bullying and anti-bullying policy in school institutions. The problem of bullying, from a scientific point of view, began to be studied at the end of the 20th century. Today, this issue is covered in all laws and programs related to ensuring a safe educational environment for participants in the educational process. Bullying, as a social and pedagogical problem, has been actively studied since the beginning of the development of information and communication technologies, which contributed to the rapid dissemination of not only verbal, but also media information: photo and video facts about manifestations of bullying between children. The article presents the results of the research "Unicef", "La Strada-Ukraine", which indicate the prevalence of the phenomenon of bullying among children. The essence of the concept of "bullying" is revealed, as well as categories that are close in meaning: "violence", "aggression", "bullying", "bullying", "conflict". The structural components of the roles of the bullying process are described: initiators or offenders, helpers of offenders, defenders of the victim, victims and observers. The article provides data on anti-bulging programs in foreign countries and focuses on the problem of anti-bulging policy in educational institutions of our country. Three main approaches that make up the anti-bullying policy of schools are analyzed: disciplinary, restorative and an integrated approach, which is implemented using two directions: managerial and educational. The directions of anti-bullying policy at school are presented, namely managerial and educational. The managerial direction is organized and implemented by the head of the educational institution. The constituent components of activities in this area are an analysis of the current situation in an educational institution, the development of an official position of the institution regarding bullying and informing all participants in the educational process about it, the development of rules of conduct for all participants in the educational process and informing about them, defining the responsibilities and responsibilities of participants educational process in relation to the rules of safe behavior in an educational institution, instructing employees, students and parents. Whereas the educational direction is characterized by informing, explaining, developing the skills of tolerance and non-violent communication of all participants in the educational process.

in the modern world, the problems of improving vocal pedagogy and methodological developments in the field of training future singers and vocal teachers should be considered not only from the point of view of the traditional classical school of singing described in the works of famous scientists, but also together with new information and communication technologies that have already firmly entered various fields of pedagogy and mass culture. It will be a mistake to oppose the fundamental vocal teaching methodology, which gives new generations of students a solid basis for the formation of vocal competencies, new pedagogical approaches in the field of hearing development using modern information and digital technologies. The task of modern methodist scientists is to combine classics and modernity, traditions and innovations in order to form new competencies among vocalist students, future performers and teachers.

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.”

The purpose of this paper is to offer some critical comments about the collected articles, by introducing a point of view inspired by cultural psychology concerning information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) research issues. This conception of ICTs highlights three fundamental aspects: the role of artifacts in mediating action that are culturally meaningful; the agency of people, and thus their responsibility as social actors; and the need for highly contextualized analysis. In the article, I will read these three points through the lenses of cultural psychology.

This article describes how the new Spanish legislation for Primary and Secondary School deals with media education. Taking the basic skills as a starting point, legislative texts are analysed focusing on two axes: first, the view of technologies and media as simple learning tools versus the critical work carried out with them; and secondly, the attention paid to traditional media versus the domination of Information and Communication Technologies. Este artículo recoge un análisis de la presencia de la educación en comunicación en la Ley Orgánica de Educación y en sus correspondientes Decretos de Enseñanzas Mínimas. Partiendo del estudio de las competencias básicas propuestas en la ley, el artículo disecciona estos textos legislativos atendiendo a dos ejes de análisis: el uso instrumental de las tecnologías frente al trabajo crítico realizado con ellas y la atención ofrecida a los medios convencionales frente a la preponderancia de las nuevas tecnologías.

The article considers the possibilities of using information and computer technologies in historical research in Central Asia. Today, when there are discussions among Asian historians about a differentiated approach to the study of history and a desire to preserve the traditional directions of historical science that were laid down in the last century, there is an urgent need to use an interdisciplinary approach. The development of historical geoinformatics at the present stage can be identified that is continuously associated with the level of informatization of society, when information and communication technologies have become an integral part of everyday life, a change in the theory and methodology of historical science. Revolutionary changes in the theoretical development of an understanding of the essence of historical processes naturally led to a change in the methodology of history. The problem of information and computer technologies efficiency, in particular geoinformation, in scientific historical research, from a theoretical and methodological point of view is being posed and solved. Since the mid-1990s, the main emphasis has been shifted to the use of multimedia tools and methods and the use of global communications - the Internet. For the preservation, presentation of cultural heritage is an urgent task, the solution of which in a century of rapidly developing information and communication technologies is impossible without the use of new information technology.

RESUMEN: El presente artículo tiene como objeto de estudio la viabilidad del teletrabajo como una alternativa ante las situaciones globales de salud que vivimos. Caracterizado por la deslocalización del trabajo y el uso de tecnologías de la información y comunicación, la adaptación de este modelo de trabajo supone la posibilidad de alcanzar ventajas para todas las partes integrantes de la relación de trabajo y para la sociedad en general, desde la productividad y la flexibilidad laboral a la motivación y la satisfacción. Sin embargo, presenta retos importantes en materia de seguridad laboral y salud ocupacional que deben resolverse. En términos generales, el cómo se ha encarado la temática regulatoria y normativa no ha ido más allá de la extensión de disposiciones legislativas existentes de trabajo a domicilio hacia el teletrabajo, dejando vacíos temáticos en cuanto a relaciones sindicales, a riesgos domésticos y laborales en el hogar y a costos vinculados a la tecnología.Palabras clave: Teletrabajo, Tecnologías, Flexibilidad, Seguridad. ABSTRACT: The purpose of this article is the feasibility of telework as an alternative to the global situations we live in. Characterized by the relocation of work and the use of information and communication technologies, the adaptation of this working model implies the possibility of achieving advantages for all the integral parts of the working relationship and for society at large, from productivity and work flexibility to motivation and satisfaction. However, it presents significant occupational safety and occupational health challenges that need to be addressed. Overall, how the regulatory and regulatory issues have been addressed has not gone beyond the extension of existing home-working legislative provisions towards telework, leaving thematic gaps in trade union relations, domestic and labour risks at home and technology-related costs.Keywords: Telework, Technologies, Flexibility, Security.
