If Digitalization

AbstractTechnology has always had an impact on the world of work. This chapter compares the transformation of our societies during the Industrial Revolution with potential transformations that digitalization may bring about today. If digitalization is truly disruptive, more may be at stake than job losses in some sectors and job gains in others. Identifying several key features of digitalization, this chapter sketches a future of work in which not jobs but work itself stands in the center of economic activity. Such a development could open a pathway to more humanistic, more democratic, and more sustainable societies but would require rethinking entirely how we organize and reward work on a societal level.

Future work in the digital work requires ethical frameworks and Collective Intelligence to develop systems where humans and machines collaborate to come up with solutions promoting the Sustainable Development Goals. Many of the risk for future jobs can be mitigated if digitalization is driven from the lens of humancentered digital technology. However, this requires urgent changes in many processes and trends.

If Digitalization

Abstract The article displays the results of comparing the digitalization process in agrarian and industrial production. The objects of study are the companies of the eighty-two Russian regions. The information was obtained from open-access resources of the Russian State Statistics Bureau. The research aims at revealing the differentiation and the specific interconnection of digital transformation in agriculture and industrial production at the regional level. The observations prove the idea that the digitalization path and tempo depend on the unique regional conditions and the accumulated level of scientific and innovative potential. A controversy is revealed in the methodology of evaluating the digital maturity rate which was proposed by the Russian regulators for assessments at the federal and regional scale. The methodology implies equal weights of significance attributed to various sectors when measuring the regional level of digital transformation. Consequently, the socioeconomic context of the diverse regional systems is treated as a barrier to digitalization and an obstacle to intensive development. At the same time, it is a question of open discussion if digitalization of such peculiar sectors as agriculture and industrial production should be measured with similar methods.

A GPS radio frequency (RF) front-end based on discrete components is designed and implemented in this paper. Research on the structures of RF front-ends for GPS receivers, and an intermediate frequency (IF) digitalization front-end is expounded in details. Analyze the design considerations of filter bandwidth, sampling frequency, quantization bits, and automatic gain control, which would effect on the whole performance of RF front-end. Then, appropriate discrete components are selected, and a low IF RF front-end hardware platform with orthogonal structure is implemented. Test results indicate that the hardware platform combined with base-band module could effectively complete signals acquisition.

The Covid-19 crisis has added importance to contact-free transactions and maximum digitalization in every aspect of life. However, vast sections of societies in almost every country are not having access to modern information & communication technology. This has resulted in a phenomenon known as the Digital Divide. Various socio-economic factors contribute to widening of this divide. If digitalization has to succeed faster, we need to bridge this gap as fast as possible. All stakeholders of ICT need to pool their resources and eff orts to help in bridging the digital divide, by enhancing digital literacy and making it more aff ordable. This Paper is based on the speech delivered in the International online conference «New Digital Reality: Science and Education, Law, Security, Economics and Finance» held on July 6–10, 2020.

Abstract Situated within the debate that has taken place in the recent years on how Digital Humanities can break down barriers between countries of the Global North and South (Intersectionality in Digital Humanities Conference, 2016), and how materials in minority langauges can have presence in the network for the generation of new knowledge (Thieberger, 2017; Rodríguez-Ortega and Cruces Rodríguez, 2018), the objective of this article is to explain how (and if) digitalization and Digital Humanities can facilitate research in the Philippines, as well as make it visible, and how this can be facilitated by cooperation projects, citing the example of the project Philperiodicals, carried out by the University of Antwerp and the University of the Philippies. What opportunities and difficulties were encountered upon proposing a project with such characteristics? What problems (ethical, at times) do we encounter when subsidizing projects in the South from the North? We shall address these questions based on the current status of digitalization and Digital Humanities in the country. Lastly, we offer a series of good practices concluded from debates and experiences from the project Philperiodicals, in the hopes that our previous difficulties and discussions may be of use for the development of similar projects in what has been called the Global South.

Purpose – to reveal prerequisites of technology-enabled banking development in Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine; to identify if digitalization was a beneficial factor in households deposits-raising during the COVID-19. Research methodology is twofold: analysis of digitalization index based on World Bank data as a premise of tech-nology-enabled banks development; beta-coefficient analysis and descriptive statistics – for digitalization influence assessment. Findings – digitalization index analysis showed that Lithuania has a more generous benefit in terms of digitalization. Poland and Ukraine follow with a slight gap. Traditional banks of analyzed countries are acting towards digitalization but at different paces. There are both digital and neobanks in Lithuania and Poland, while in Ukraine only digital banks. Analysis of Ukrainian banks deposits highlighted the fact that digital banks were in some cases more preferable for households, especially during a pandemic. Research limitations – lack of data: common digitalization indexes could not be calculated for Ukraine; differences in countries’ banking data: content and structuring criteria. Practical implications – the results could be important for policy recommendations to tackle the blind spots of banking digitalization. Originality/Value – suggested digitalization index could be utilized as a universal. Due to DESI limitations, common for EU countries, we were to create our own index and compare results with calculated by European Commission DESI values. While DESI is calculated using some specific survey data, the proposed index is using standardized data of World Bank; the results of digital and traditional banks deposits comparison could be useful for further study.
