Can we say we live in a post-digital condition? It depends. This paper sets out to distinguish between the current mass digital culture and an authentic post-digital culture. If we mean “post-digital” as the full internalization and awareness of the result of the so-called digital revolution, then it is necessary a philosophical work to discuss related problems, identify the causes and propose solutions. An authentic philosophy of digital will, however, have to start from a clarification of the terms and basic objects of its investigation. Here media theory is inserted as an analytical tool: the purpose of this essay is to outline a road map for a good media theory that interfaces with questions of definition of digital, also in light of the notions of space, time, and matter. As will be seen, the description given here for a “good media theory” does, in fact, coincide with an already existing – and inserted in the contemporary debate – school. In conclusion we will try to delineate the field of philosophical inquiry opened by the clarification brought by the previous analysis, and to suggest a general framework within which philosophy will have to move in order to finally reach the authentic post-digital condition.

Museums are progressively using ICT to reinforce cultural and heritage tourism. Museums are vital in transmitting cultural values, propagating traditions, and linking current generations to their heritage. ICT has recently gained prominence for its ability to stimulate creative approaches. The use of ICT in museum operations is widespread, particularly in the areas of presentation and preservation. Museums, according to previous research, use a range of ICT tools to enhance the visitor experience (VX) through modernizing their exhibits and object interpretation. The purpose of this paper is to gain a better understanding of the VX as well as to evaluate the visitors' standpoint on ICT in museums. The research was applied to the Sharjah Museum of Islamic Civilization. Two primary approaches were used, which include qualitative data such as literature reviews and interviews, as well as quantitative data as the main ways that employ questionnaires. Findings indicate that integrating technological tools can enrich the VX in museums by allowing for the usage of a variety of digital media types.

Since the first edition of this reference was published 25 years ago much has taken place in the polygraph field, progress which has continued in the decade since the last edition of the Terminology Reference. The transition from analog to digital polygraph is now complete, the polygraph profession has accomplished the shift from authority-based practices to those that are evidence-based, concepts and terms adopted by the polygraph field are substantially more mainstream, new credibility assessment technologies have appeared while others have disappeared, and much to the surprise of critics and detractors, predictions of the demise of the polygraph have proven to be premature. In this fourth edition of the Terminology Reference for the Science of Psychophysiological Detection of Deception we strived to capture these changes. We have updated the references, added new terms, removed others, and included images for some terms to help readers understand them better. We hope readers appreciate these updates. And finally, we sadly report the passing of our friend, colleague and contributor to previous editions of this work, Shirley Sturm in 2020. Shirley was one of the greats in the polygraph field. She was the first woman President of the American Polygraph Association, a teacher, a coveted mentor, and a fiercely independent thinker. We and the rest of the polygraph field will miss Shirley, her sense of humor, her passion for polygraph, her concern for her fellow practitioners, her commitment to the field. There was always only one Shirley Sturm and we were fortunate to have known her. Because of her lasting contribution to our shared field of endeavor we dedicate this edition of the Terminology Reference to Shirley Sturm.

In the early 20th century the function of poetic imagery was given international attention through the Imagist movement in London and, ever since, many poets have self-consciously employed and exploited imagist techniques. At the same time poets and visual artists have frequently explored connections between each other’s works considering, as Art Berman writes, that “the visual can provide direct and even prelinguistic knowledge since the psyche presumably has operations that precede or take logical precedence over […] language” (49). Interart comparisons suggest that poetry and the visual arts can be talked about as if “work in one medium […] were operating in another” (Dayan 3). However, it is often unclear what it might mean to describe a work of visual art as “poetic” or a poem as “visual.” This paper explores these ideas with reference to Paul Hetherington’s and Anita Fitton’s practice-led research project, Spectral Resemblances. The project is investigating some of the ways in which written poetry and still visual imagery may convey related meanings. It asks whether meaningful connections between poetic and visual imagery are at best “spectral” and elusive. It explores how the juxtapositioning of complementary works in these different media may allow resonances to play back and forth in the conceptual spaces between them.

The current popularity of both radio and television services in the United Kingdom which are run on a not-for-profit basis, be they operated by the BBC or to a much lesser extent by the state-owned Channel 4, attests to the strength of public service broadcasting there. Largely – as this article seeks to explain – the strengths of the BBC and the influence of the public service ethos even in the way mainstream private-sector broadcasting, especially television, is regulated, can be attributed to the importance placed upon public service media right from the 1920s. Even in this pluralistic, multi-platform, age of media proliferation, the effects can be seen of the early establishment of clear objectives and standards for the sector by its founders, which have been largely maintained by their successors. There have been many pressures on the BBC and its supporters in public life to cede territory to the commercial sector, but although change has in some respects been inevitable, the corporation’s funding model and constitution have served the population well in bolstering the BBC against such attacks on its ability to function as an important bulwark of quality broadcasting and freedom of expression in democratic society. This is not merely a matter of territory, though, of spectrum allocation and the distribution of resources. It is also about public perceptions of the BBC and its output, the trust it enjoys among its audiences and the resultant brand loyalty upon which it ultimately depends and which is firmly rooted in quality and inclusiveness. This public sector ethos has, however, almost inevitably been weakened since the 1920s, as increasingly strident voices have lobbied for greater opportunities for the private sector to generate as much profit as possible from broadcasting have gained greater traction at certain critical points in the history of broadcasting, as is now also the case in 2016.

The Analog-Digital Distinction Fails to Explain the Perception-Thought Distinction: An Alternative Account of the Format of Mental Representation

The format of mental representation is the way information is organized in the mind. The discussion surrounding the format of representation addresses the problem of what representational primitives are and the rules of information processing.In philosophy, the discussion is dominated by the distinction between analog and digital representational systems. It is thought that this distinction can bring us closer to an understanding of the nature of perceptual and discursive representations. I argue that the analog-digital distinction cannot meet that expectation. The analog-digital distinction is neither sufficient nor necessary to explain the distinction between perceptual and discursive representations (and perception and thinking, respectively). I propose an alternative interpretation of the concept of representational format which provides us a better understanding of the difference between iconic and discursive representations. I explain the differences between formats of representations in terms of differences in information processing. I demonstrate, how this alternative interpretation of the concept of the representational format can explain the constraints put on the contents of representational systems.

The paper compares how two theorists of media arts, Mark B. N. Hansen and Laura U. Marks, interpret the relation of Deleuze’s time-image to corporeality. Both argue that some novel types of images - in film and media art - engage the body in new and also more intensive ways than traditional cinema did. While they remain committed to Bergson’s theory of perception, their works offer different readings of how the Bergsonian concepts of Deleuze’s film philosophy can be applied to new media: on the one hand, to the non-signifying, affective properties of Hansen’s digital image in contemporary media arts, and on the other, to Marks’s - in the last instance, memory-signifying - haptic image, which she discussed initially in connection with video art and experimental film. In New Philosophy for New Media (2004), Hansen asserts that “Deleuze’s neo-Bergsonist account of the cinema carries out the progressive disembodying of the [body]”, which “reaches its culmination in […] what he calls the ‘time-image,’” and calls for “a rehabilitation of Bergson’s embodied concept of affection.” While Marks also offers some criticism on Deleuze, she suggests that his “theory of timeimage cinema permits a discussion of the multisensory quality of cinema,” and undertakes to examine “how the body may be involved in the inauguration of time-image cinema.” Besides arguing that both tendencies are present in Deleuze to varying degrees, I attempt to contextualize the divergences in their lines of thought by looking at the types of media and selection of works they examine, as well as the possible theoretical commitments that might guide these selective strategies

From blogs to crowdfunding, YouTube to LinkedIn, online photo-sharing sites to open-source community-based software projects, the social web has been a meaningful player in the development of archaeological practice for two decades now. Yet despite its myriad applications, it is still often appreciated as little more than a tool for communication, rather than a paradigm-shifting system that also shapes the questions we ask in our research, the nature and spread of our data, and the state of skill and expertise in the profession. We see this failure to critically engage with its dimensions as one of the most profound challenges confronting archaeology today. The social web is bound up in relations of power, control, freedom, labour and exploitation, with consequences that portend real instability for the cultural sector and for social welfare overall. Only a handful of archaeologists, however, are seriously debating these matters, which suggests the discipline is setting itself up to be swept away by our unreflective investment in the cognitive capitalist enterprise that marks much current web-based work. Here we review the state of play of the archaeological social web, and reflect on various conscientious activities aimed both at challenging practitioners’ current online interactions, and at otherwise situating the discipline as a more informed innovator with the social web’s possibilities.

L’objectif de cet article est de donner un aperçu des défis posés par les marchés de la numérisation et des données à la politique de la concurrence et à son application à l’ère des grandes données. En se concentrant sur l’évaluation de l’échange d’information dans l’environnement numérique, les facteurs de risque traditionnels sont analysés et on fait valoir que de nouveaux facteurs de risque peuvent être identifiés. Le texte donne un aperçu de la jurisprudence hongroise récente en la matière afin d’examiner le rôle de l’échange d’informations dans un environnement de données qui offre une quantité accrue d’informations actualisées et pertinentes sur le marché à analyser. En outre, l’article résume les mesures d’application de la loi prises pour relever les défis posés par les plateformes en ligne, dont les interfaces utilisateur appliquent de nouvelles approches et pratiques qui peuvent influencer directement le comportement des consommateurs. La conséquence en est que l’argumentation économique et informatique peut affecter la nature des procédures et certains phénomènes nouveaux, comme le rôle des intermédiaires secondaires, l’intégration des segments de marché en ligne et hors ligne ouvrant de nouveaux domaines d’évaluation.

The aim of the paper is to present an insight into the challenges raised by digitalized and data-driven markets to competition policy and enforcement in the Big Data era. Focusing on the assessment of information exchange in the digitalized environment, traditional risk factors are analyized and it is argued that new risk factors can be identified. The paper provides an overview of relevant recent Hungarian case-law to examine the role of information exchange, taking place in a data environment that offers an increased amount of up-to-date and relevant market information for analysis. Further, the paper summarizes the enforcement responses to the demandside challenges raised by online platforms, user interfaces applying new approaches and practices that can directly influence consumer behavior. The consequence is drawn that the extended economic and IT-related argumentation may affect the nature of proceedings and some new phenomena, as the role of secondary intermediaries, integration of online and offline market segments open new fields for assessment.

Мета роботи: Метою будь-яких змін в державних адміністраціях є покращення їх системи управління для надання кращих послуг громадянам-користувачам. В такий спосіб політики захищають свої політичні плани. Однак ефективність цифрової трансформації державних послуг не обмежується лише оприлюдненням законів, а характеризується також їх впливом на задоволеність користувачів державного управління та його сприйняття державним агентом і громадянином. Метою цієї статті є проаналізувати вплив цифрової трансформації на задоволеність користувачів державного управління, зокрема податкового адміністрування. Дизайн / Метод / Підхід дослідження: Це емпіричне дослідження з кількісним підходом із використанням анкети, яку розповсюдили серед 107 платників податків. Ми проаналізували дані за допомогою методу структурних рівнянь із програмним забезпеченням SmartPls, щоб вивчити зв’язок між п’ятьма підзмінними цифрової трансформації та задоволеністю користувачів. Оригінальність / Цінність дослідження: Результати показують значний позитивний зв’язок між трьома підзмінними цифрової трансформації та задоволеністю користувачів: відчутною простотою використання, сприйнятою корисністю та дизайном веб-сайту. Обмеження досліджень / Майбутні дослідження: Крім того, державні адміністрації повинні бути в курсі сучасних тенденцій цифровізації послуг.

Purpose: The objective of any change in public administrations is to improve their management system to provide a better service to the citizen user. This is how policy makers defend their political agendas. However, the effectiveness of the digital transformation of public services is not limited to the promulgation of laws but to their impact on the satisfaction of users of public administration and its perception by the public agent and the citizen. The objective of this article is to analyze the impact of digital transformation on the satisfaction of users of public administration, and more particularly of tax administration. Design / Method / Approach: This is an empirical study with a quantitative approach using a questionnaire administered to 107 taxpayers. We analyzed data through the structural equation method with SmartPls software to study the relationship between five sub-variables of digital transformation and user satisfaction. Originality / Value: The results show a significantly positive relationship between three sub-variables of digital transformation and user satisfaction: perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and website design. Research Limitations / Future Research: In addition, public administrations need to stay abreast of current trends in service digitalization. The success of the digitization of the administration is conditioned by the commitment and involvement of all stakeholders. This is with the view to providing quality services in real-time, thus meeting users' expectations.

The human condition is now a digital condition, a "digitization of the whole". The digital environment represents a challenge on multiple levels for the Church; it is therefore essential to deepen the knowledge of its dynamics and its significance from an anthropological and ethical point of view. It is also necessary to reread the Bible keeping in mind the completely new perimeters in which we find ourselves in the digital condition and to re-evaluate how much technology continuously crosses biblical data, enriching it and thus allowing us today to reread it carefully. With these premises, the contribution proposes the figure of the anthronome. Anthronomy and the anthronome have the aim of putting the human as a norm, of bringing the human and humanity into the digital condition.

Das Ziel des Beitrags ist, das Phänomen der Digitalisierung von ursprünglich analogischen Zeichen zu diskutieren. Die Diskussion fokussiert zwei Arten von Zeichen, die (nach der Distinktion von Goodman) analogisch sind. Die einen sind Bilder und die anderen – Texte, betrachtet, in Bezug auf die textlinguistische Konzeptualisierung der Sprache, als primäre sprachliche Zeichen. Das Beispiel eines polnischen Nachrichtenportals bestätigt die These, das die spezifische mosaikartige Struktur die inhärenten Merkmale der darin enthaltenen Zeichen beeinflussen kann. Das typographische Schema ist dabei wichtiger als der semantische Inhalt, der auf solche Art und Weise präsentiert wird, die die Perzeptionsfähigkeiten eines durchschnittlichen Empfängers überfordert. Dadurch wird die Bedeutung der Bilder und Texte in der Regel auf die binäre (digitale) Relation ihrer Anwesenheit oder Abwesenheit im vorprogrammierten Schema beschränkt.

The aim of the article is to discuss the phenomenon of digitalisation of the originally analogical signs. The discussion focusses on two types of signs, which may be considered as analogical (based on the distinction by Goodman). One of them are pictures and the other one – texts, treated, according to the textlinguistic conceptualisation of the language, as the primary language signs. The example from a Polish news website confirms the thesis that the specific mosaic structure may exert a considerable influence on the inherent features of the signs, which they contain. The typographic scheme of the mosaic becomes superior to the semantic content, which is presented in a way exceeding the perceptual capabilities of an average receiver. Thus, the meaning of pictures and texts is generally restrained to the binary (digital) relation of their presence or absence in the preprogrammed schema.

This article explores the extant artefacts of Vlastislav Hofman's design process for Karel Hillar's 1926 production of Hamlet. Virtual reconstructive practice has been used to explore Hofman's intentions and process in the development of his visual ideas. This exploration, supported by an analysis of Hofman's critical texts, provides insights into Hofman's developing visual ideas, both in respect of this production and in respect of his wider approach and attitudes to stage space, which might be broadly termed 'Cubist' or 'Expressionist'. A comparison of two distinct scenic styles in this production suggests that Hofman was developing a functional (or in Bourriard's terms, relational) approach to aesthetics which acknowledged the productive role of the audience and invited modes of viewing in which the choice of aesthetic constituted an invitation to dialogue. In this way, we see Hofman developing a scenography that not only 'means' but also invites a discussion of that meaning.

W artykule podjęte zostały rozważania nad ogólną charakterystyką zasobów znajdujących się w różnorodnych archiwach Webu. Zrozumienie problemu postawionego w tytule wydaje się być kluczowe dla refleksji nad tym nowym rodzajem źródeł oraz wykorzystaniem ich w późniejszych badaniach. Użytkownik chcący zagłębić się w dawną Sieć musi wiedzieć, co przechowują tego rodzaju cyfrowe repozytoria i jaki jest charakter tych zbiorów. Problem ten został przedstawiony na dwóch płaszczyznach, które wynikają z dwóch etapów archiwizacji Webu – selekcji i gromadzenia. Pierwszy aspekt – teoretyczny zależy przede wszystkim od gromadzenia zasobów metodą harvestingu, czyli z wykorzystaniem crawlerów. Ich możliwości oraz ograniczenia przekładają się na to, co zostanie zarchiwizowane i jaka będzie tego postać. Należy odnotować fakt, iż prowadzi to do pewnego przekształcenia zasobów Sieci, a więc po zarchiwizowaniu nie będą już one dokładnie tym, czym były wcześniej. Drugi aspekt – praktyczny jest efektem selekcji, a więc wszystkich decyzji podejmowanych przez pracowników archiwum przed rozpoczęciem gromadzenia. Zaliczyć można do nich m.in. określenie celu i zakresu archiwizacji oraz wybór strategii pozwalających je realizować. W tekście przedstawione zostały dwie podstawowe metody – archiwizacja masowa oraz selektywna. Znaczącym utrudnieniem dla użytkowników archiwów Webu jest brak informacji dotyczący stosowanych kryteriów selekcji lub logów crawlera. Zasoby dawnej Sieci mogą stanowić pewnego rodzaju zagadkę, ponieważ nie zawsze można wskazać, co się w nich znalazło, a co nie, i jaka była tego przyczyna.

The article contemplates general characteristics of holdings of various Web archives. Understanding the problem formed in the title seems to be crucial for reflections on this new type of sources and using it research. A user aiming at familiarizing with the old Web must know what is stored in this type of digital repositories and what characterizes these holdings. The problem was presented on two levels, related to two stages of archiving – selection and acquisition. The first aspect, of theoretical character, depends mostly on gathering sources using the method of harvesting (with crawlers). Their capabilities and limitations result in what will be archived and in what form. It must be noted, that this can lead to a certain deformation of Web sources, thus after archiving they will not be exactly what they were before. The second aspect, of practical character, is an effect of selection, i.e. all decisions made by archives’ employees before the process of gathering starts. These decisions comprise of, among others, specifying the aim and scope of archiving and choosing strategies to accomplish them. The text presents two basic strategies – mass archiving and selective archiving. An important obstacle for Web archives users is lack of information about selection criteria or crawlers’ logs. Holdings of the old Web can be a kind of mystery, because not always one can describe, what is in them and what is not, and what is the reason for this state.

W niniejszym artykule skupiamy się na wskazaniu specyfiki transformacji cyfrowej w sektorze publicznym. Celem publikacji jest przestawienie głównych mechanizmów wynikających z wprowadzania innowacji cyfrowych, zmieniających funkcjonowanie sektora publicznego. Wychodzimy od omówienia technologicznych uwarunkowań transformacji cyfrowej, krótko charakteryzujemy zastosowania komputerów i internetu w administracji publicznej skutkujące rozwojem e-usług i administracji. Główną część artykułu poświęcamy omówieniu specyfiki wdrożeń nowych technologii cyfrowych w administracji publicznej, skupiając się głównie na technologiach sztucznej inteligencji i blockchaina. Stawiamy tezę, że wpływ innowacyjnych technologii cyfrowych na standardy funkcjonowania i strukturę administracji publicznej należy analizować przez pryzmat powiązanych ze sobą, a charakterystycznych dla gospodarki cyfrowej mechanizmów datafikacji i platformizacji. Przyjęta metodologia, która bazuje na analizie literatury oraz analizie wdrożeń nowych technologii w administracji publicznej w państwach UE, wskazuje na wciąż pilotażowy, wyrywkowy i nietransformacyjny charakter tych wdrożeń, częściowo wynikający z braku ugruntowanych metodologii do badania i oceny dojrzałości transformacji cyfrowej sektora publicznego.

In this article we focus on identifying the specificity of digital transformation within the public sector. The aim of the article is to present the main mechanisms resulting from the introduction of digital innovations that have changed the functioning of the public sector. Starting from a discussion on the technological requirements of digital transformation, we briefly characterise the use of computers and the Internet in public administration, resulting in the development of e-services and administration. The main part of the article is devoted to discussing the specificity of the implementation of the new digital technologies in public administration, focusing mainly on artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies. Our thesis is that the impact of innovative digital technologies on the operation standards and structure of public administration should be analysed through the prism of interrelated mechanisms of datafication and platformisation, characteristic for the digital economy. The adopted methodology, which is based on an analysis of the subject literature and an analysis of new technology implementations in public administration in EU countries, indicates the pilot, random and non-transformational nature of these implementations, partly due to the lack of well-established methodologies to study and assess the maturity of digital transformation within the public sector.

Matematyka, która ponownie stała się obowiązkowym przedmiotem podczas egzaminu dojrzałości jest zdawana między innymi przez uczniów z niepełnosprawnością wzroku. Naczelna Izba Kontroli w opracowaniu z 2012 roku stwierdziła, że 45% polskich szkół nie posiada odpowiednich pomocy edukacyjnych dla uczniów z niepełnosprawnościami. Stąd należało przyjrzeć się, czy dostępne są jakiekolwiek opcje pomocy dydaktycznych, z których mogą skorzystać nauczyciele i uczniowie. Co więcej, aby istniejące informatyczne pomoce dydaktyczne były skuteczne muszą one odpowiadać najefektywniejszej technice pracy ucznia. Dostępne rozwiązania zwykle składają się z różnych metod dostępu - od wzrokowej, słuchowej, po dotykową i wibrująco-dotykową. Autor także przedstawia zalety i wady tradycyjnych oraz informatycznych pomocy dydaktycznych oraz opinie nauczycieli odnośnie dostępnych rozwiązań do nauki matematyki.

Mathematics as a mandatory subject for maturaexams needs to be taken by all high school students, including those with visual impairments. Naczelna Izba Kontroli (or Supreme Audit Office) reported in 2012 that 45% of Polish schools had inadequate learning material for learners with disabilities. It seemed prudent to investigate whether teachers and students have options to choose from. Furthermore the author implies that for any existing digital learning aids to be effective, the best format should be established. Available solutions usually have a combination of input and output methods ranging from visual, auditory to tactile or vibro-tactile systems. The author also discusses advantages and disadvantages of traditional versus digital learning aids and teachers' views of available accessible math instructional solutions.

Największe badanie startupów branży cyfrowej w Polsce od 2015 r. wykonuje fundacja Startup Poland we współpracy z naukowcami z Politechniki Warszawskiej. Badania takie nie są łatwe do zrealizowania ze względu na niejednorodność definicji podstawowych pojęć, w tym definicji startupu. W artykule przedstawiono zestawienie przykładowych badań tego typu, wykonywanych na świecie i wskazano główne różnice, jakie między nimi występują. Na podstawie danych otrzymanych w ramach badań fundacji, przeprowadzono analizę segmentacyjną i porównawczą polskich startupów, której wyniki zaprezentowano w artykule. Zidentyfikowano sześć głównych cech różnicujących poszczególne segmenty, wśród których na szczególną uwagę zasługuje fakt produkowania przez startupy hardware’u oraz prowadzenie współpracy z nauką.

The largest study of the digital industry in Poland has been run since 2015 by the Startup Poland Foundation in cooperation with the researchers from the Warsaw University of Technology. Such studies are not easy to carry out because of the heterogeneity of the definitions of basic concepts, including the definition of a startup. This article presents a comparison of examples of this type of study carried out worldwide and identifies the main differences between them. On the basis of the data obtained from the Foundation’s research, a segmentation and comparative analysis of Polish startups was carried out, the results of which are presented in this article. Six main differentiating features of the defined segments were identified, of which the production of hardware by startups and cooperation with academia were of particular interest.
