Digital posthumous communication systems are those that allow users to create messages that will only be sent to the intended recipients after their deaths. In these systems users have to express their wishes through configuration settings which will only take effect in the future, when the user is no longer available. In this paper, we propose a methodology that allows us to analyze posthumous communication systems and focuses on users’ decisions and how users can understand their future impact at the moment when they are making such decisions. To do so, we have combined the Semiotic Inspection Method (SIM) with the Configuration for Interaction Anticipation Challenges and recommendations on volitional aspects in digital legacy systems. Such analytical lenses were used to inspect three digital posthumous communication systems: If I Die, Se Eu Morrer Primeiro and Dead Man's Switch. The result of our analysis is a thorough account of the decisions designers have made available to users, as well as how they convey what the impact of these decisions will be when they come into effect. Our discussion of these systems and of the challenges identified contributes to the research and development of digital legacy systems in general. The methodology described is a relevant contribution to research on digital legacy and on digital posthumous communication, and also supports the consolidation of the challenges and recommendations used in this analysis.

An increased expansion of renewable resources and biodiesel is observed and prognosed, since fossile energy resources are about to run out. Hungary achieved outstanding sunflower years in the recent years in worldwide comparison. In the future, the feedstock of biodiesel production can also be rape besides sunflower.According to the concept of harmonious development, the balance between nature, society, economy and human environments is represented by their mutual presumptive character. Research and development need to be aligned into this system. Our aim was to examine the advantages anddisadvantages of biodiesel production in different environments, using a model to do so. In order to maintain the harmony, the existing resources have to be managed properly, taking the correlations of the system into consideration. Targeted technological developments are necessary, similarly to the improvement of energy safety and efficiency.

Research Expenditure

Considering the economic performance as a target for companies in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors, the main aim of this paper is to assess the impact of investment and research expenditure on the turnover and production of the Romanian firms in these domains. A panel data approach is applied and the main results suggested that actual and previous investment did not generate an increase in the production and turnover of the companies in the period 2005-2016. However, the increase in the number of researchers and in the research expenditure slowly stimulated the production and turnover. All in all, we can state that the investment in chemical and pharmaceutical sectors are still not sustainable in Romania and the future policies of the companies should be focus more on research and development activities.

The Impact

This paper investigates the impact of knowledge based information systems (KBIS) on commercial organisations. A questionnaire and interview format was used to gather information from eleven commercial organisations developing KBIS. Three prime areas were considered, namely knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation, and KBIS development methodologies. For each of these areas, the normative position as expressed in the literature is presented and then compared to the survey findings. Problems involved in the development of KBIS are mentioned as well as developers’ perceptions of the future directions for KBIS within their organisations. Additional information on each organisation is presented in an Appendix in order to provide a richer picture and background to the study. The main preliminary findings are that KBIS have made an impact on organisations in Australia who are willing to make a considerable investment of resources in this new venture. While most organisations are treating this technology as research and development, they believe that the technology will be absorbed into their mainstream information systems in the future. These systems are seen as providing a competitive edge to those organisations willing to make the investment.

The Indian tourism industry has reached a great scale over the years. With the over-increasing internet penetration, more travellers are booking online travel in India. However, the world and in particular the tourism industry has seen an unprecedented shutdown due to Covid-19 affecting 2020 due to the absence of a universal vaccination at the moment. It is important to understand the current scenario of Indian travel patterns prior to the impact of Corona Virus and the factors which will be influencing the decision-making process of Indian Travellers in the future. Hence, this paper attempts to study and decode the decision-making process of Indian Travellers through extensive review of contemporary academic literature on post-pandemic tourism emerging with COVID-19 crisis. This study area is important because it addresses a pressing problem of comprehending the post pandemic travel and the research outcome suggests practical solutions to overcome the critical barriers arising out of Covid-19 for Indian Travellers and learn to practice a new way of travelling in the future.

Do So

In a globalised world, an assumption prevails that the nation has somehow lost its power to regulate our lives, being undermined by other forces, either top-down through the impact of global capitalism or bottom-up through migrations, transnational religious, ethnic or social movement communities or other transversal politics. A related idea is that ‘culture’ is now irrevocably hybridised and border-zoned, that we no longer live in a world of discrete, located, identifiable and historically grounded cultures but in some unstable and for-the-moment insterstitiality, a sort of cultural interlanguage that sits outside well-mapped structures of power. Yet, just as the nation and the boundaries it sets around culture are being conceptually chased from our maps of the world, they come galloping back to reassert themselves. They do so politically, economically, legally, symbolically. Amidst all the noise of our transnationalisms, hybridities and interstitialities, the idea of what it is to be ‘Australian’ or ‘French’ or ‘Filipino’ or ‘Asian’ reaffirms itself, in mental geographies and constructed histories, as our ‘imagined community’ (to use Benedict Anderson’s famous term [Anderson 1983]), or indeed, ‘imagined Other’, even if it is an imagined ‘Other’ that we would somehow wish to incorporate into our newly hybridised Self. Using the notion of transcultural mappings, the articles in this special issue investigate this apparent paradox. They look at how the Self and Other have been mapped through imagined links between geography, history and cultural location. They interrogate the tension between the persistence of mappings of the world based on discrete national or cultural identities on one hand, and, on the other hand, the push to move beyond these carefully guarded borders and problematise precise notions of identity and belonging.

The Impact

The purpose of this article is to provide the basic model of Hofstede and Grays’ cultural values that relates the Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Gray‘s accounting value. This article reviews some studies that prove the model and develop the research in the future. There are some evidences that link the Hofstede’s cultural values studies with the auditor’s judgment and decisions by developing a framework that categorizes the auditor’s judgments and decisions are most likely influenced by cross-cultural differences. The categories include risk assessment, risk decisions and ethical judgments. Understanding the impact of cultural factors on the practice of accounting and financial disclosure is important to achieve the harmonization of international accounting. Deep understanding about how the local values may affect the accounting practices and their impacts on the financial disclosure are important to ensure the international comparability of financial reporting. Gray’s framework (1988) expects how the culture may affect accounting practices at the national level. One area of the future studies will examine the impact of cultural dimensions to the values of accounting, auditing and decision making.
