Virtual internships became a necessity for many businesses during the spring and summer of 2020 due to government regulations concerning the COVID-19 epidemic. The use of virtual internships, however, has been rising even before the pandemic. This paper shares the available literature on the use and design of virtual internships to invite academic research into their effectiveness in comparison to the traditional internships whose benefits are already well documented. The paper will be of use to enterprises, educational institutions, and researchers in the area of experiential learning.

One of the most relevant and widely discussed trends in the financial sector is the development of a new payment technology – central bank digital currency (CBDC). CBDC is central bank-issued digital money denominated in the national unit of account, and it represents a liability of the central bank. It differs from electronic reserves (which cannot currently be accessed by individuals), physical cash, cryptocurrencies and other private digital tokens. Central banks around the world have been researching the concept and design of CBDC for several years and their work continues apace amid the COVID‑19 pandemic. This general trend encompasses large differences across jurisdictions and types of economies. Each country should make its own choice of the CBDC design, taking into account its particular circumstances. Over the last years, the share of central banks actively engaging in some form of CBDC work has increased significantly. Central banks are moving from conceptual research of CBDC to experimentation and pilot projects. CBDC projects differ starkly across countries, both in their motivations and their economic and technical design. Rising number of central banks are considering retail CBDC rather than wholesale, and "hybrid" or "intermediated" operational architectures where the CBDC is a direct claim on the central bank, but the private sector manages customer-facing activity. The paper reviews the recent advances in CBCD projects, and the experience of the countries in more advanced stages of CBCD engagement, namely the particularly advanced CBDC Chinese project of the e-yuan of the People's Bank of China and Swedish e-krona project of Sveriges Riksbank.

In the media age, such fundamental concepts as "subject", "power", "sign", "meaning", on which the picture of the modern world was built, underwent dramatic changes. The election process in our country has shown how the post-modern sociology has become relevant agents of the modern political process. Television, the media are becoming a genuine space of human habitation, which requires new principles of orientation. In this case, the traditional means of orientation in space and time disappear. In the world of mass media, the linear sequence is canceled, the dialectic polarity is canceled, the opposition of the subject and the object is canceled. Any event, action, value, social institution, falling into the scope of a system in which there is no linear sequence, undergoes a certain deformation. This also applies to the authorities, which no longer belong to the order of the legislative and supervisory authority, but rather to the order of tactility and switching. We need to understand what is happening with the public space of politics and social, how the dissolution of television in life, as well as the dissolution of life in television happens, how in the space of the media the power is disorganized, turns into a simulation of power, losing touch with goals and objectives and dooming yourself to produce power effects. The sphere of simulation is contained in the media, in the field of communication. It is necessary to start studying this area from the most important, from the theory of signs. The process of creating value and value correlates with the process of signification. In particular, the subject of modern political economy is not a commodity and not a sign, but their indissoluble unity in which they are destroyed as particular definitions, but not as a form. Any attempt to overcome the political economy of the sign, relying on one of its components, is doomed to reproduce the arbitrariness of the sign. Therefore, a symbolic semantic operation should come to replace the sign.
