Improving judicial activity in the context of the formation on the information society involves automation in the commission of certain actions of judges and the court apparatus. The successful implementation of automation in judicial activity requires the identification, planning and design of processes in courts. The article discusses the concept, types and levels of development of processes, as well as explores the possibilities of introducing and advantages of the process approach in judicial activity and substantiates the hypothesis about the possibility of introducing a process approach in relation to judicial activity by identifying and identifying the same type of constantly repeated actions committed by judges and the court apparatus and designing «processes» for these actions. The author comes to the conclusion about the significant potential of the process approach in increasing the efficiency of judicial activity.

Broadband is seen as a key infrastructure for developing the information society. For this reason many Governments are actively engaged in stimulating investments in broadband infrastructures and use of broadband services. This chapter compares a wide range of broadband strategies in the most successful markets for broadband. This is done through analysis of national policies in three European countries—Denmark, Sweden, and Germany—and the U.S., Japan, and South Korea. We concluded that successful implementation of broadband depends on the kind of policy measures to be taken at the national level. Many countries have provided active support for stimulating diffusion of broadband and national variants of this type of policies in different countries are important for an explanation of national differences in adoption of broadband.

The article substantiates the relevance and expediency of studying the specifics of urban planning of typologically differentiated forms of urban settlement in the Scandinavian countries, the results of project detailing and / or subject implementation of which are considered by the world community to be the standards of urban formation. It is shown that the basis for preserving and maintaining the long-established "Nordic" urban planning style, inherent in the urban culture of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and potentiating the "reference" of design models and/or spaces and habitats, is the purposeful regulation and optimization by the criterion of sustainable development of relevant interactions of all components of the sphere of urban planning: paradigm, institutional, regulatory, urban-typological, technological, organizational, etc. The results of studying the process of formation and development of the system of urban planning and design in the Kingdom of Sweden – the undisputed leader of urban development in Scandinavia: the specifics of its functioning due to national urban planning traditions are characterized, and modern trends of its transformation are identified, predetermined by pan-European innovations and regional innovations in the field of spatial organization of the population's living environment. The results of the research can serve as an analog basis for improving the system of urban planning of systemic forms of urbanization in our country and, thus, contribute to the successful implementation of the spatial development Strategy of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2025. The results of the survey are of particular practical significance for the geostrategic territories of Russia that have historically been integrated with the "Circum-Baltic area" and are now part of the borders of the Baltic belt.

Research on architectural technology for health care has rapidly increased in recent years; however, little research has been conducted on the use of virtual reality for simulating impairment. This exploratory research maps the experiences of people with impairments in the often-overlooked corridors and waiting rooms of an emergency department. It questions whether the experience of an impairment can be usefully simulated for empathetic design. While using participatory processes to develop a virtual reality simulation of waiting areas, this research applies three representative impairments and then surveys 30 architectural designers to find the emotional responses of the unimpaired to the design intervention. While this research is preliminary, it is particularly valuable for the comprehension of proposed designs during the early planning and design phases, without costly and time-consuming use of full participatory processes. It finds there is significant potential for the use of virtual reality as a technology to simulate the experiences of these spaces by individuals with impairment, enabling empathetic design, and offers direction for future research.

The structure and content of the development strategy of the information society in the Russian Federation shows compliance with the generally accepted approach in the world, including the Seoul Declaration and the results of a survey of OECD countries. However, this strategy has drawbacks, namely: the consequences of the development of digital technology (and the information society as a whole) on the structure and level of employment of the population have not been determined; the issues of the existing technological lag of individual sectors of the economy and social sphere and the ways to eliminate it have not been worked out; the problems of regional differentiation of the level of readiness for implementation and the potential for using the capabilities of the digital economy have not been studied. These important questions are fraught with threats to the successful implementation of the strategy, as they form the basis for the implementation of the negative consequences of globalization of the economy, including increasing the dependence of local economic entities on transnational corporations, widening the gap in the socio-economic development of individual regions and the living standards of individual strata of the population. Insufficient attention is currently being paid to the classification of the effects of digitalization on the functioning of the regional economy and the appropriate response by local authorities and businesses. Based on the foregoing, it is proposed to consider the possibility of introducing elements of the digital economy in the field of agriculture and food production, that is, the transition to the so-called "digital agriculture".

The requirements to the quality of higher education in Ukraine and in the world are rising. This means that the quality of strategic management of HEIs is a guarantee of successful implementation of the state reform of higher education in Ukraine. In this conditions, there is no doubt that the adjustment of the universities’ strategies is inevitable if they are going to adapt to new challenges. The article is devoted to the evaluation from the process approach of the management of effectiveness of the university's strategy as a project-oriented organization. the matrix "competitive position / growth trend" for the universities of the Kharkiv region in 2017 was constructed. A comparative assessment of the activities of universities of the Kharkiv region in 2017 has been carried out for three components: quality of scientific and pedagogical potential; quality of training; international recognition. The paper investigates the hypothesis of a connection between the position in the official rating of universities and the quality of its strategic plan. The data of the Consolidated rating of Ukrainian universities and the rating of CEDOS for 2015-1017 are used. Correlation connection with time lag between these indicators is proved. The rank correlation increases with the increase of the time lag (in this paper the range of the time lag {0; 1; 2} was investigated, due to the availability of empirical data). The research evaluated the degree of correlation of the observed phenomena (the content of the strategic plan and the university’s position in the rating) by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient. The colligation of the studied factors was assessed applying the Chaddock’s scale.  The results of the correlation analysis of the relationship between the group of indicators "The main management processes of the university" and the group of calculated indicators in the structure of the indicator "Content of the strategic plan" confirmed the correctness of the using the rating methodology by the CEDOS Center. The authors conclude that the management of an organization such as a university is advantageously carried out from the standpoint of the process approach

The Government

Japan is set to move forward to developing a broadband and ubiquitous network society as envisioned under the concept of an advanced information society. And the successful implementation of e-government in Japan will serve as the foundation to achieving this goal. How does e-government affect the government itself, the business sector and the citizens? According to a 2005 user survey by the Institute of E-Government, the two main benefits of e-government are improved accessibility to information and transaction, and greater accountability from the government. To administer e-government in the country, the role of public sector and computerizations in various government agencies were taken into consideration. However, if computerization is limited to central government, this is of limited benefit to citizens. Thus, for communication between citizens and government, there is a need to go mainly through local government, not the central government directly. There is also a need to refer to e-municipality or e-local government, considering it of equal importance to e-government. It is also important to take into account issues against some aspects of an information society, but being overly anxious about them causes obstacles to promoting e-government. These issues include information security problems, lack of unified management of agencies and the risk of socio-economic digital divide. As such, one of the problems that every country has to face in promoting e-government is the legal system, embedded in every democratic government. Computerization and informatization of the government is, in one respect, an effective administrative and fiscal reform, but requires legal mandates. Thus, reforms in the legal system, including regulation system, are inevitably called for.

The benefits of using digital storytelling are well documented in the literature. Whether and how these advantages can be extended to digital story-writing, especially for young learners, remains underexplored. Recent advancement in technology has the potential of streamlining the stages of planning and revising in a process approach to second language writing. The present study examined how English teachers in two Hong Kong primary schools adopted a process approach to teach digital story-writing. They planned eight writing lessons for 10 Primary 3–4 classes. Students were taught to use Google Slides to write their stories on iPads and complete a recording in small groups, which were then published on an online platform. Findings from focus-group interviews, lesson observations and student writings revealed that students were highly engaged in the lessons, and their writings also had fewer grammatical mistakes. However, they rarely engaged in meaningful dialogues during group work, whilst some teachers also expressed concerns about time constraints and their own readiness to use digital story-writing, which may hinder successful implementation of this innovative approach in classroom settings. Implications of how digital story-writing can be effectively deployed on young learners are discussed.
