Проведено аналіз основних досліджень успішних проектів з ліквідації паперу, виявлені найбільш вагомі причини використання паперу та шляхи їх оптимізації. Проведено дослідження правових і законодавчих аспектів в Україні з використання електронного документообігу. Розглянуто і проаналізовані найбільш поширені види документів, які зустрічаються на підприємстві. Виявлено відділи, які друкують найбільшу кількість паперу в офісі методом статистичного збору даних і їх обробкою. Опрацьовано законодавчу базу України щодо впровадження електронного документообігу. Виявлено бар'єри, які не дозволяють українським підприємствам повністю перейти на безпаперову модель обробки і зберігання інформації на електронних і цифрових носіях. На прикладі бухгалтерських книг з історією про зміни в зарплаті співробітників компанії виявлено, що дані книги не можуть бути оцифровані, оскільки витрати часу на розпізнавання тексту занадто великі, що представляє собою неефективний підхід до оптимізації використання паперу в офісі, при цьому оптимізуючи кілька одних процесів від ручних модифікацій, тим самим додаючи роботи іншому персоналу, або витрачаючи кошти на послуги аутсорсингової компанії. Проведено аналіз відділів офісу підприємства і кількості паперу, яка друкується в кожному відділі. Ознайомлення із заходами, які ведуться на підприємстві для зменшення кількості паперу. Розроблено рекомендації щодо подолання бар'єрів на шляху зменшення використання паперу та шляхи оптимізації використання паперових носіїв інформації. Запропонована оптимізація процесу інвентаризації основних засобів шляхом застосування електронного коду для сканування цифровим носієм і швидким отриманням інформації про всі основні засоби в реєстрі. Розраховано кількісне вираження від впровадження можливих заходів і економія для підприємства. ; The analysis of the main studies of successful projects on the elimination of paper was carried out, the most significant rea sons for using paper and ways to optimize them were identified. The study of legal and legislative aspects in Ukraine on the use of electronic document management. Considered and analyzed the most common types of documents that are found in the enterprise. Identified departments that print the greatest amount of paper in the office by the method of statistical data collection and processing. The legislative base of Ukraine on the introduction of el ectronic document circulation was processed. Barriers that do not allow Ukrainian enterprises to fully switch to a paperless model of processing and storing information on electronic and digital media have been identified. On the example of books with a history of changes in the salaries of company employees, it was found that these books cannot be digitized, because the time spent on recognizing text is too large, which represents an inefficient approach to optimizing the use of paper in the office, while optimizing several processes from manual modifications, thereby adding work to other personnel, or spending money on the services of an outsourcing company. The analysis of the departments of the office of the enterprise and the amount of paper that is printed in each department. Acquaintance with measures that are conducted at the enterprise to reduce the amount of paper. Recommendations for overcoming barriers to reducing paper use and ways to optimize the use of paper media have been developed. The proposed optimization of the process of inventory of fixed assets using the method of introducing an electronic code for scanning with digital media and quickly obtaining information about all fixed assets in the registry. Calculated quantitative expression from the introduction of possible measures and savings for the enterprise.

Purpose
Although research analyzing the consequences of salesperson social media use in driving sales behaviors and performance outcomes has proliferated in the recent past, there are significant research gaps in the domain. Grounded in task-technology fit theory, this paper aims to propose a conceptual framework that integrates between previously disjointed areas of research and analyzes the relationships between salesperson social media use, brand awareness, creativity, manager empowerment and company performance.


Design/methodology/approach
Survey responses were collected from a multi-industry sample of 158 business-to-business salespeople. Structural relationships were tested using partial least squares structural equation modeling.


Findings
The analysis shows that salesperson social media use positively affects brand awareness. The relationship between social media and brand awareness is magnified with the increase in salesperson creativity. Findings also show that manager empowerment increases salesperson creativity. Finally, brand awareness positively affects company performance.


Practical implications
Sales organizations should focus on developing digital strategies, especially focusing on salesperson social media use to enhance company's brand awareness, which in turn increases company performance. Moreover, sales managers should also follow empowering leader behaviors to enhance creativity.


Originality/value
The authors amalgamate salesperson social media use literature and branding literature by proposing salesperson social media use's positive effects on brand awareness. This study also expands the knowledge by exploring the moderating effect of individual-level variables such as salesperson creativity on driving the effects of salesperson social media use.

Recent research has documented the relationship between the promotion of 'ideal', 'fit' bodies in social media, body image and associated body concerns and conditions. This article expands this scholarship, focusing specifically on gender, body dissatisfaction and social media. Thus far, body disaffection has mostly been understood through a psychological framing, as a pathology residing within an individual and strongly associated with poor body image because of internalizing media images. In this paper, drawing on feminist new materialism, I offer a framing of body disaffection as a relational phenomenon. The paper draws on a mixed method study in England, with over 1000 young people examining their experiences with a range of digital health technologies. I focus specifically on their engagement with social media, to explore the relationship between ideal images and body concerns. Far from being a simple process of internalization of negative perceptions or image one has of their body, disaffection is formed through the body via a complex process of entanglement with social media and other elements. I outline how disaffection materialises as part of an assemblage of elements, including discourses, humans, bodies, digital objects and platforms. The paper reveals how entanglements with social media can generate powerful affects such as shame, pleasure and belonging along gendered lines, which may have significant implications for young people's relationships with their bodies. I analyse how social media events focused on the 'transformation' of bodies generate powerful affects, which open or limit capacities for what 'boys' or 'girls' bodies might become in deeply gendered and sometimes harmful ways.

PurposeThis qualitative study sought to explore how Iranian English language professors used social media network Telegram in their classes and what possibilities and constraints they experienced with regard to classroom interactions and university education, and how they rethought the use of social media network Telegram.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through written reflective exercises and semi-structured interviews. Furthermore, data were analyzed based on three moments of critical hermeneutics: a moment of social-historical analysis, a moment of formal analysis and a moment of interpretation-reinterpretation.FindingsThe analysis of the data led to four themes: a dialogic classroom, the critical awareness of power-relations, the critical reflection on the experiences of the classroom and digital inequality. In fact, the participants pointed out that using social media network Telegram could lead to the persuasive discourse and multiplicity of voices as opportunities for sharing knowledge and distributing powers.Originality/valueIndeed, the present study addressed the learning processes resulted from using social media network Telegram rather than the product and outcome that were mainly addressed by the previous studies by considering three levels of descriptions, which included micro-level of the learner and teacher interaction, meso-level of the processes of educational institutions and macro-level of wider cultural and societal contexts.

Abstract Witnessing is crucial to public engagement with war, but the remote violence of drones presents distinct challenges: its victims are largely invisible to Western publics; operations are cloaked in secrecy; and promises of precision targeting, accurate surveillance, and legal monitoring obscure the brutalities of the system. With so many barriers to witnessing, remote warfare tends to remain on the periphery of political debate and has not occasioned widespread resistance. Yet the means for witnessing drone warfare exist; the question is how they might be leveraged to make remote war more accessible and contestable. This article analyses the high-profile drone strike that killed 10 civilians in Kabul on 29 August 2021 to consider the limits and possibilities of witnessing drone strikes, alongside the database of conflict monitor Airwars and the aesthetic practice of the research agency Forensic Architecture. It argues that witnessing drone strikes requires assembling new conceptual techniques with long-standing practices of media witnessing and human rights testimony. It is not a manual or primer but rather maps four critical, analytical, and ethico-political trajectories demanded by the problem of how to witness a drone strike: lived experiences, violent mediations, infrastructural scales, and aesthetics.

Based on the critical stance of citizens towards urban planning, growing attention has been directed towards new forms of citizen participation. A key expectation is that advanced digital technologies will reconnect citizens and decision makers and enhance trust in planning. However, empirical evidence suggests participation by itself does not foster trust, and many scholars refer to a general weakness of these initiatives to deliver the expected outcomes. Considering that trust is reciprocal, this article will switch focus and concentrate on planners' attitudes towards citizens. Do urban planners generally think that citizens are trustworthy? Even though studies show that public officials are more trusting than people in general, it is possible that they do not trust citizens when interacting with government. However, empirical evidence is scarce. While there is plenty of research on citizens' trust in government, public officials trust in citizens has received little scholarly attention. To address this gap, we will draw on a survey targeted to a representative sample of public managers in Swedish local government (N = 1430). First, urban planners will be compared with other public officials when it comes to their level of trust toward citizens' ability, integrity and benevolence. In order to understand variations in trust, a set of institutional factors will thereafter be tested, along with more commonly used individual factors. In light of the empirical findings, the final section of the article returns to the idea of e-participation as a trust-building strategy. What would make planners trust the citizens in participatory urban planning?

This research explores the transformation of landscape in contemporary visual culture, where aesthetics dialogues intensively with the political and social, through an intercultural perspective between the United states, Italy and France. Rather than from an exclusively artistic or geographic point of view – moving beyond the outdated thesis of a "landscape death" as developed in the 1980s – the landscape is considered as a notion and a media object in circulation, a potential medium for the creation of national and cultural visual identities, of the imaginaries and the sense of places. Firstly, we situate the contemporary photographic landscape in its relation to some Euro-American artistic traditions and cinematographic practices, addressing and developing underlying questions of intericonicity and crossed gazes. Secondly, we investigate the role of contemporary landscape photography within the strategies of visualization and planning of territories and environments, in other words in its documentary function for geographical, architectural or urban projects, which are often materialized by exhibitions. Thirdly, we observe the transformation of the landscape according to the evolution of digital media. Indeed, starting from Web 2.0 we see a new hybridization between artistic, institutional and amateur images which circulate on the same networks and a fracturing of the ontological barrier between fixed and moving images. The geo-localization and the articulation of images to geographic information systems, as well as the miniaturization of mobile devices, contribute to the constitution of a new scopic system which no longer respects the visual conventions of the traditional landscape « view » and of the central perspective. ; Cette recherche explore la transformation du paysage dans la culture visuelle contemporaine, dans une perspective interculturelle entre États-Unis, Italie et France, et sous une acception où l'esthétique dialogue étroitement avec le politique et le social. Contre la thèse dépassée d'une « mort du paysage » comme développée dans les années 1980, et plutôt que d'un seul point de vue artistique ou géographique, le paysage est considéré comme une notion et un objet médiatique en circulation, un moyen pour la création des identités visuelles culturelles et nationales, des imaginaires et des sens des lieux. Un premier axe situe le paysage photographique contemporain dans sa relation à des traditions artistiques et des pratiques cinématographiques euro-américaines, avec les questions sous-jacentes d'intericonicité et de regards croisés. Un second axe examine le rôle de la photographie de paysage contemporaine dans les outils et les stratégies de visualisation et d'aménagement des territoires et des environnements, donc sa fonction documentaire pour des recherches et projets géographiques, architecturaux ou urbanistiques, souvent matérialisés par des expositions. Un troisième axe observe les transformations du paysage au gré de l'évolution des médias numériques. Le « tournant web » permet en effet une nouvelle hybridation entre images artistiques, institutionnelles et amateurs qui circulent toutes sur les mêmes réseaux, et une fracturation de la barrière ontologique entre images fixes et mobiles. La géolocalisation, l'articulation des images à des systèmes d'information géographique et la miniaturisation des dispositifs mobiles contribuent à la constitution d'un nouveau système scopique qui ne respecte plus les conventions visuelles de la « vue » paysagère traditionnelle et de la perspective centrale.

One of Dazed's Best Non-Fiction Books of 2023 The first book to explore how our cities gentrify by becoming social media influencers--and why it works. Cities, like the people that live in them, are subject to the attention economy. In The City Authentic, author David A. Banks shows how cities are transforming themselves to appeal to modern desires for authentic urban living through the attention-grabbing tactics of social media influencers and reality-TV stars. Blending insightful analysis with pop culture, this engaging study of New York State's Capital Region is an accessible glimpse into the social phenomena that influence contemporary cities. The rising economic fortunes of cities in the Rust Belt, Banks argues, are due in part to the markers of its previous decay--which translate into signs of urban authenticity on the internet. The City Authentic unpacks the odd connection between digital media and derelict buildings, the consequences of how we think about industry and place, and the political processes that have enabled a new paradigm in urban planning. Mixing urban sociology with media and cultural studies, Banks offers a lively account of how urban life and development are changing in the twenty-first century.

In theory, the multiple platforms and transnational nature of digital media, along with a related proliferation of diverse forms of content, make it easier for children's right to access socially and culturally beneficial information and material to be realised, as required by Article 17 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Drawing on data collected during research on children's screen content in the Arab world, combined with scrutiny of documents collated by the Committee on the Rights of the Child, which monitors compliance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child, this article explores how three Arab countries, Egypt, Morocco and the United Arab Emirates, presented their efforts to implement Article 17 as part of their periodic reporting on their overall performance in putting the Convention on the Rights of the Child into effect. It uncovers tensions over the relationship between provision, participation and protection in relation to media, reveals that Article 17 is liable to get less attention than it deserves in contexts where governments keep a tight grip on media and that, by appearing to give it a lower priority, all parties neglect the interdependence of human rights in relation to media and children.

The United States Supreme Court famously labeled copyright "the engine of free expression" because it provides a vital economic incentive for much of the literature, commentary, music, art, and film that makes up our public discourse. Yet today's greatly expanded copyright law often does the opposite—it can be used to quash news reporting, political commentary, church dissent, historical scholarship, cultural critique, and artistic expression. In Copyright's Paradox, Neil Weinstock Netanel explores the tensions between copyright law and free speech concerns, revealing how copyright law can impose unacceptable burdens on speech. Netanel provides concrete illustrations of how copyright often prevents speakers from effectively conveying their message, tracing this conflict across both traditional and digital media and considering current controversies such as the YouTube and MySpace copyright infringement cases, Hip-hop music and digital sampling, and the Google Book Search litigation. The author juxtaposes the dramatic expansion of copyright holders' proprietary control against the individual's newly found ability to digitally cut, paste, edit, remix, and distribute sound recordings, movies, TV programs, graphics, and texts the world over. He tests whether, in light of these developments and others, copyright still serves as a vital engine of free expression and he assesses how copyright does--and does not--burden speech. Taking First Amendment values as his lodestar, Netanel argues that copyright should be limited to how it can best promote robust debate and expressive diversity, and he presents a blueprint for how that can be accomplished. Copyright and free speech will always stand in some tension. But, as Netanel demonstrates, there are ways in which copyright can continue to serve as an engine of free expression while leaving ample room for speakers to build on copyrighted works to convey their message, express their personal commitments, and fashion new art.

Se analiza el uso y apropiación de los medios digitales por parte del movimiento No + AFP. El foco está situado en las prácticas videoactivistas y las estrategias de comunicación, organización y acción colectiva. Mediante una metodología cualitativa (análisis de contenido) se analiza: (1) la estrategia política; (2) los actores y (3) los lugares centrales de los vídeos. La conclusión principal es que el videoactivismo fue clave para apoyar la actividad offline del movimiento. Los vídeos se utilizaron fundamentalmente con fines propagandísticos e informativos y se convirtieron en un desafío contra la producción mediática hegemónica en Chile; los protagonistas fueron ciudadanos contra las grandes corporaciones, los medios y el gobierno; y el emplazamiento preferido fue la calle, lugar tradicional de la protestas. ; This paper analyzes the use and appropriation of digital media by the Chilean social movement No + AFP. Specifically, the spotlight is placed on the movement's digital video activism practices and its communication activity; organizational and collective action strategies mediated by new information and communication technologies. A qualitative (content analysis) methodology was developed to analyze the movement's most relevant videos regarding three aspects: (1) political strategy; (2) actors, and (3) the locations in which videos were filmed. The main conclusion is that video activism was central to supporting the movement's offline strategy. The videos were basically used for propaganda and informational purposes and became a challenge against hegemonic media production in Chile; the main actors were citizens opposing the corporate, the hegemonic media and the government; and the streets, the traditional protest setting, were the preferred location.

Suicide is a complex phenomenon that has attracted attention throughout the times of humanity. Since ancient times, its history has been approached in a general way. Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek and Roman civilizations already considered it the product of a melancholic state of mind. Virtually all religions agree in their rejection as a means of ending life. The common basis for this rejection is that it is God who gives life and He is the only one capable of taking it away. Most writers agree when considering it as the result of an act resulting from a distressing situation.
Carrying out this study is justified since it is a topic that draws attention worldwide, due to the increase in the registration of cases, becoming a Public Health problem. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2020, 1.53 million people will die from suicide, one death every twenty seconds, and the number of attempts will be between ten and twenty times higher. Due to its seriousness, it requires our attention, although unfortunately, the large number of psychoeducational programs that exist for its prevention and control is not an easy task.
With this work, we intend to understand its current reach in the young population and make known to what extent Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Neurocommunication with appropriate content on social networks could be applied to the management of Public Relations, to help alleviate, to a large extent, the envisaged attempts on the population concerned.
Artificial Intelligence can be used to take advantage of real-time data to help us make more optimized and informed decisions. The advances made today in the field of advanced analytical techniques and statistical algorithms, to identify and obtain a better evaluation of what may happen in the future, processing data to identify patterns of behavior, managing with the media of communication, the issues derived from strategic consulting, academic research, can bring in various ways, great benefits in their application to Public Relations. This will increase the capacities that add value and can be considered as a prevention tool.
New ways of acting that increase the efficiency between the sender and the receiver are necessary, through the contributions of neuroscience and the techniques of Public Relations so that their actions are more effective when the messages are directed towards reward systems of the brain. The new discipline of Neurocommunication as a meeting point between neurosciences and communication, tries to know the brain processes to carry out better strategies, in this case, of Public Relations, that allow decision-making in the adoption behaviour in various situations. In-depth knowledge of the processes of the human brain as a decision system in which individuals interpret their realities, depends on the way each subject decodes it, since there is a connection between how we act and the brain system. All this makes us foresee that its application in the field of Public Relations will be essential to mitigate the reality, in this case studied, in the affected groups.

La preservación digital se define como el conjunto de prácticas de naturaleza política, estratégica y acciones concretas, destinadas a asegurar el acceso a los objetos digitales a largo plazo. El desarrollo de los repositorios institucionales, el crecimiento de sus contenidos y el reconocimiento de que la actividad institucional se canaliza, cada vez más, en soporte digital, obliga a los repositorios a acompañar su desarrollo con actividades destinadas a la preservación. En este trabajo se presentan el estándar 14721 (OAIS), los metadatos PREMIS y las directrices para la preservación, en conjunto con el esquema METS, para finalmente, explorar los metadatos en esquemas muy utilizados en la tarea normal de un repositorio (MODS, DC) y señalar los que resultan útiles a los fines de la preservación, proponiendo su reutilización. Un segundo objetivo práctico es mostrar qué herramientas de preservación ofrece el desarrollo DSpace que sustenta al repositorio SeDiCI - UNLP. ; Digital preservation is defined as a set of political and strategic practices and concrete actions deployed to ensure long term access to digital objects. The development of institutional repositories, growth of their content and awareness that institutional activity is increasingly channeled through digital media require the deployment of preservation activities to sustain the evolution of repositories. This work presents ISO standard 14721 (OAIS), PREMIS metadata and guidelines for preservation, along with the METS schema to finally explWore metadata in widely-used repository-related schema (MODS, DC) and point out those useful for preservation purposes, proposing their reuse. A second practical purpose is to show the preservation tools offered by the DSpace development which supports the SeDiCI - UNLP repository. ; Servicio de Difusión de la Creación Intelectual (SEDICI)
