The article examines the essence and basic approaches to the interpretation of the concept of "digital rhetoric" in modern times, which is characterized by an extremely close combination of real and digital worlds. It is proposed to highlight another new stage - digital rhetoric, along with such generally accepted stages of rhetoric development as classical rhetoric and neorhetoric. The need to single out such the stage is explained by the general trends of changing communicative practice today.

Throughout this paper, the main interest is in describing the use and practice of socialnetworking by Colombian migrants and its influence on the relation with, and the construction of a discourse about, Colombian conflict and social reality. In addressing the problematization of cyberspace and its virtuality as a space, an account is given of the singularities, political concerns, and personal expectations of two Colombian migrants living in Berlin. This leads to an analysis of the influence of virtuality in the construction of political and social discourses and of practices abroad. The discussion of the authenticity and "realness" of the virtual world and virtual relationships invokes the supposed opposition between virtual space as abstract, and the real world as the tangible and real one. However the notions of virtuality and reality are not necessarily opposed. According to Augé (1995), a place is defined as relational, historical and concerned with identity. Borrmann (2013) concludes in her study that cyberspace cannot be understood as an abstract place, meant to exist only "while we are sitting in front of the computer" (64). From this reasoning, several questions guide this paper: If the cyberspace is a tangible one, how do migrants—those people who supposedly live in between territories—relate to virtuality? How are these virtual spaces and places constructed from the singularities of Colombian migrants in Berlin? How do they relate to the actuality overseas, in their home countries?

This article is aimed at evaluation of regional digital inequality in BRICS countries. Using the data for 2014-2018 on internet usage and access to fixed broadband author calculates inequality ratios, including coefficient of variation and Theil index. Also author analyzes rural/urban differences and their dynamics. On the base of this calculations author shows decrease of regional inequality in all five countries. Further analysis is devoted to national digitalization strategies, which are aimed at development of remote areas and bridging digital divide. Author shows that there are measures in each strategy aimed at bridging digital divide on all three levels (infrastructure, usage and results). In a final part of the article author suggests directions for cooperation in BRICS, including exchange of best practices in realization of national strategies, composition of best practices in integrated measures aimed at development of remote areas and joint financing using opportunities provided by the New Development Bank.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the current state of digitization in the field of veterinary medicine in the Republic Macedonia and its development tendencies. Digital technologies have enormous potential in advancing the technology in the field of veterinary medicine. Technological advances greatly help to improve the quality of life, not only of humans but also of animals. If in the past paper was the only way to store information, today, with the application of modern information digital technologies, already in our country we can talk about the processes of digitalization through program network connection of the Food and Veterinary Agency (FVA) and veterinary companies, which means keeping records without papers. In fact, one of the major benefits of digital transformations in veterinary practice is the digitization of medical records, that is, everything related to productive animals and pets raised by farmers and individuals. In R.N. Macedonia, all veterinary companies use the IT application of the Food and Veterinary Agency, the socalled Information system, in which the data is entered by the licensed veterinary companies regarding the number, health and welfare of the animals. Based on the obtained data, the Government and the line ministry of Agriculture, Water Economy and Forestry use them to develop strategies for the development of livestock which is a target area of veterinary medicine. Keywords: FVA, Veterinary societies, digitalization, veterinary practice.

Digitalization is not only a new research subject for political science, but a transformative force for the discipline in terms of teaching and learning as well as research methods and publishing. This volume provides the first account of the influence of digitalization on the discipline of political science including contributions from 20 different countries. It presents a regional stocktaking of the challenges and opportunities of digitalization in most world regions. The digital transformation is an example of technological change that will have massive implications for politics and society. It involves a sweeping set of changes that many have likened to the Industrial Revolution. The digital revolution has generated extraordinary opportunities for political scientists, but it also raises serious questions about politics, issues like privacy, regulatory oversight, international conflicts and democracy. Many of these problems are old, but digitalization has magnified their difficulties and importance. The ambivalence of digitalization not only includes multiple aspects for political processes, for communication and for interaction in the political realm, but likewise for our discipline. Digitalization is both a research subject as well as a transformative force for our discipline in terms of teaching and learning, research methods, data collection and management, but also influencing publishing and consultancy.
