Digital transformation is imperative for gaining and sustaining a firm's competitive advantage. Hence, understanding the dynamics of technology evolution becomes salient for both scholars and practitioners. This chapter aims to provide a complementary perspective to the field of innovation by mapping and visualizing the patterns of digital transformation at the industry level with a particular focus on the role of technology convergence. The authors tracked 20 years of the technology of the U.S. communications industry in order to investigate how digital transformation has shaped the industry technological structure, which are the technological gaps and potential future technology trends. The results show a deep transformation of the industry with many interconnections between technology domains and a high degree of overlap between technology areas.

Little is known about the role of conflict management in explaining the victim–offender overlap. This article assesses the victim–offender overlap for adults (18-32) in intimate and nonintimate relationships, covering their relationship with their partner and with friends and acquaintances/strangers. Controlling for conceptually important variables, we explore whether different conflict management styles are associated with a respondent being in the victim-only, offender-only, both, or neither group (separately for verbal aggression, physical abuse for intimate and nonintimate relationships, and sexual abuse for intimate relationships). Data are from a nationally representative panel of U.S. households ( N = 2,284 respondents of whom 871 women and 690 men report being in an intimate partnership). We observed a high degree of overlap between victimization and offending across our abuse measures. We found a range of modestly consistent set of risk factors, for example, conflict management styles and self-control, for the victim–offender overlap for partner and nonpartner abuse experiences.

This technical note leverages on the 2015 FSAP which concluded that the United States (U.S.) had a high degree of compliance with the Basel Core Principles (BCPs). The FSAP reviewed the progress achieved in addressing the main weaknesses previously identified and the main supervisory and regulatory developments since then. The key focus are the steps taken by the U.S. authorities in recent years to recalibrate and further tailor the banking regulatory and supervisory framework and the role of stress tests in the supervision process. The FSAP team has not covered the impact of COVID-19 outbreak on banks supervision and has not discussed with authorities the related policy response. The FSAP recommendations are meant to be considered once the impact of the pandemic on the economy and the banking sector becomes clearer.

Процессы цифровой трансформации, достигая глобальных масштабов развития и распространения, не только затрагивают коммуникационные технологии, но и оказывают преобразовательное воздействие на все сферы социально-правового взаимодействия. Так, киберпространственные механизмы являются частью современного электронного документооборота. Электронная цифровая подпись в настоящее время представляет собой широко распространенный продукт цифрового развития общества. До настоящего периода времени принято было считать, что она обладает характеристиками высокой степени правовой надежности и безопасности. Авторы статьи, анализируя практику правонарушений в сфере применения электронной цифровой подписи, ставят под сомнение данный довод. Отмечая слабые стороны механизма подтверждения правомочным лицом авторства при помощи криптографически преобразованного путем электронного шифрования реквизита документа, они предлагают возможные пути разрешения существующих на современном этапе вопросов данной области социально-правового взаимодействия: обязательного присутствия лица, либо лично, либо он-лайн, с видеофиксацией и его идентификацией. The processes of digital transformation, reaching global scales of development and dissemination affect not only communication technologies, but also have a transformative impact on all spheres of social and legal interaction. Thus, cyberspace mechanisms are part of the modern electronic document flow. Electronic digital signature is currently a widespread product of digital development of society. Until now, it has been generally assumed that it has the characteristics of a high degree of legal reliability and security. The authors of the article, analyzing the practice of offenses in the field of electronic digital signature, question this argument. Noting the weaknesses of the mechanism for confirming authorship by an authorized person with the help of cryptographically-converted by electronic encryption of the document details, they suggest possible ways to resolve existing issues in this area of social and legal interaction at the present stage. Mandatory presence of the person, either in person or online, with video recording and identification.

Increased concern regarding water quality impacts from combined sewer overflows (CSOs) in the U.S. and elsewhere has emphasized the role of computermodeling in analyzing CSO impacts and in planning abatement measures. These measures often involve the construction of very large and costly facilities, and computer simulation during plan development is essential to cost-effective facility sizing. An effective approach to CSO system modeling focuses on detailed hydraulic simulation of the interceptor sewers in conjunction with continuous simulation of the combined sewer system to characterize CSOs and explore storage-treatment tradeoffs in planning abatement facilities. Recent advances in microcomputer hardware and software have made possible a number of new techniques which facilitate the use of computer models in CSO abatement planning.

SYNOPSIS Starting in 1995, the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) transformed a bureaucratic healthcare system into a performance-driven, patient-focused integrated healthcare network. The VHA's experience may offer lessons for private and public sector providers as the U.S. explores alternative healthcare delivery systems and payment methods. Similar patient-focused integrated systems are one of the hallmarks of the latest U.S. attempt to improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare delivery. The use of performance incentives to promote cooperation and innovation is also central to both the VHA and the U.S. reform. This study reviews the VHA's experience with an eye to identifying issues and potential research avenues for accounting researchers interested in the role of accounting information for control, coordination, and organizational change.
