glocal

The term GLOCAL that appeared only thirty years ago and was taken by us as the theme of this issue, is internally contradictory. The global, relating to the globe as a whole, looks like the opposite to the local, partial. Our paradoxical time, however, fills the term with actual meaning. Humanity is united in a common information space, and none of the corners of the Earth can ignore universal human processes and trends anymore. Globality threatens to erase all local differences, unify and average everything and everyone. Against this background, there is an escalating struggle for vivid and unique local national, cultural and ethnic identities, which can be compared with a tree breaking through the asphalt... The pandemic, which has gripped the world, divides people strictly and sets up many borders and walls. But it also unites them, demonstrating the widest range of local options for responding to a deadly threat.The articles from the theoretical section of this issue are devoted to the analysis of the concept of "glocality".

Virtual exhibition as a means of implementing cultural function of the library

This article examines the transformation of cultural function of the libraries of pedagogical universities, considering challenges and changes in the digital educational environment. Leaning on the modern scientific research on creation and content arrangement of web resources, the author analyzes the libraries of 37 pedagogical universities nationwide, as well as interrelation between cultural function and thematic headings. The object of this research is the description of peculiarities of implementing cultural function of the library in the common information space of an educational institution. The subject of this research is the virtual book exhibitions as an instrument of promoting publishing projects and a synthesis of traditional and innovative ways of conveying information to the readers. The main conclusions are as follows: in implementation of cultural function, the university library pursues the goal development of spiritual and moral personality traits. The libraries make a considerable contribution to the becoming and socialization of an individual by preserving and augmenting cultural wealth of literary sources. The implementation of cultural function should take into account the abundance and availability of information in modern world. The stylistics of messages and sources does not always correspond to generally accepted norms and morals. The libraries also aim to draw interest to cultural environment and develop the in skills of working with literary sources among the readers, as well as form a deliberate cultural assessment of the surrounding reality.

Digitalization features of integration associations (on the example of the EU and the EAEU)

The article provides and analyzes the theoretical foundations and practices of digitalization of integration associations on the example of the European Union and the Eurasian Economic Union. Studying the program documents on digitalization (digital agendas), the authors identified the features and risks of the digital transformation of various integration associations. The article describes the digitalization of integration associations as a concept and logic of interaction between citizens, business entities, industry structures, government bodies of countries participating in an integration association in a common information space. These ideas are expressed in the form of explicit algorithms, specifications, and standards unified for each participating country and implemented in the form of integrated information systems of B2B, B2G, G2G formats with a single coordination and monitoring center.

Options for creating data storages in a common information space taking into account information security

Possible options for creating data storages in a common information space are substantiated. The results of a comparative assessment of the proposed options for creating data storages are presented. They are based on considering the criteria of information security — confidentiality, integrity and availability,. Based on the results of the comparative as-sessment, a modular model for creating data storages was identified as the most preferable in a common information space.

The Use of the Blockchain Technology and Digital Watermarking to Provide Data Authenticity on a Mining Enterprise

Prompt development of information technology has made an essential impact on many industries. There appeared a concept “Industry 4.0” symbolizing the fourth industrial revolution. The given concept is closely connected with such promising technologies as the Internet of Things, blockchain, fog computing, Big Data. In the present research, the sphere of the mining industry is examined. We discuss the possibility to increase the efficiency of mining enterprises at the expense of the development of common information space based on modern digital technologies. We analyze security problems at the level of data flow between the participants of the production process on a mining enterprise. We define the problem of providing the reliability of data on the production course on mining enterprise in the conditions of the possible connection loss between the control center and separate technological units. We offer a new approach to the solution of the given problems, based on the technology of blockchain and digital watermarking. The computing experiment is conducted presenting a possibility to implement the offered approaches on common models of microcontrollers.

Hyperalignment: Modeling shared information encoded in idiosyncratic cortical topographies

Information that is shared across brains is encoded in idiosyncratic fine-scale functional topographies. Hyperalignment captures shared information by projecting pattern vectors for neural responses and connectivities into a common, high-dimensional information space, rather than by aligning topographies in a canonical anatomical space. Individual transformation matrices project information from individual anatomical spaces into the common model information space, preserving the geometry of pairwise dissimilarities between pattern vectors, and model cortical topography as mixtures of overlapping, individual-specific topographic basis functions, rather than as contiguous functional areas. The fundamental property of brain function that is preserved across brains is information content, rather than the functional properties of local features that support that content. In this Perspective, we present the conceptual framework that motivates hyperalignment, its computational underpinnings for joint modeling of a common information space and idiosyncratic cortical topographies, and discuss implications for understanding the structure of cortical functional architecture.
