Deconstructing Digital Transformation: A Multidimensional Analysis of Digital Literacy’s Role in Shaping Human Capital and Driving Organizational Success
Authors: Meena G , Santhanalakshmi K. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive investigation into the multifaceted relationship between digital literacy, human capital development, and organizational performance in the context of digital transformation. Through a rigorous mixed-methodology approach combining quantitative surveys and real-time digital usage tracking, we analyzed data from 250 employees across 23 organizations spanning multiple sectors (technology 26.5%, finance 16.7%, healthcare 13.6%). The research employs structural equation modeling and demonstrates robust interrelationships between variables (correlations ranging r=0.689 to 0.817), with digital literacy and employee commitment exhibiting the strongest correlation (r=0.817). Statistical analysis reveals that human capital significantly mediates the relationship between employee factors and organizational performance, explaining 72.3% of performance variance (R&sup2;=0.723). All constructs demonstrated strong reliability (Cronbach’s α: 0.739-0.787) and convergent validity (AVE>0.5). Multiple regression analysis identified attitude (β=0.218) and human capital (β=0.184) as primary performance predictors, while frugal innovation showed significant influence (β=0.172, p<0.001). The study found that 69.1% of participants utilize digital tools multiple times daily, with 44.4% at intermediate digital literacy levels. Path analysis confirmed significant positive relationships (p<0.001) across all variables, with attitude demonstrating the highest direct effect on organizational performance (0.525). The research extends human capital theory by empirically validating digital competencies’ role in organizational success and identifies a critical digital literacy divide impacting performance outcomes. In work environments (48.1% hybrid, 42% on-site, 9.9% remote), findings demonstrate the universal importance of digital competencies across different operational models. These results have substantial implications for management practices, organizational strategy, and human resource development in the digital era, particularly in fostering comprehensive digital skill development programs and addressing organizational digital divides.

Abstract
The study’s central theme is sustainability practice. It aims to measure the impact of sustainability practices on market performance. The study is quantitative, and data was obtained through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale. Different firms, such as manufacturing, non-manufacturing, and service support, run the survey by sharing the data (n=200). Data were analysed through Smart PLS version 4.1.0.0, employing a structural equation model (SEM) technique to measure the impact of exogenous variables. All three variables (Employee engagement in sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and environmental concern) positively and significantly impact sustainability practice. Thus, the study’s central finding is that sustainability practice positively influences the market performance of the firms, and the association is also significant. Companies that adopt sustainable practices can differentiate themselves in the market, potentially improving their competitiveness. Companies can exploit the notion that sustainability is a highly efficient technique for stimulating growth. Integrating sustainable principles can lead to long-lasting economic advantages. The novelty of this work is that it considers sustainability practices to determine the impact on market performance. Future work can be conducted on the specification of market performance, such as sales growth, return on investment (ROI), return on assets (ROA), and earnings per share (EPS).

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Rapid urbanization in developing countries has significant implications for local climate and environmental conditions. This study examines land use/land cover (LULC) changes and their impact on land surface temperature (LST) in Patna, India from 1988 to 2022 using Landsat imagery and geospatial techniques. Rapid urbanization in developing cities can significantly alter local climate, but the dynamics in Patna were not well understood. Using supervised classification and thermal band analysis, the research quantified LULC transformations and LST changes over 34 years. Results show dramatic urban expansion, with built-up area increasing from 38 % to 80 % of the total area, while vegetation cover decreased from 44 % to just 7 %. These changes corresponded with an overall increase in LST, with maximum temperatures rising by 1.06°C and minimum temperatures by 6°C. Strong correlations were found between LST and spectral indices like NDVI (negative) and NDBI (positive). The study reveals accelerated urban growth and temperature increases, especially after 2005, highlighting the need for sustainable urban planning strategies to mitigate heat island effects and improve thermal comfort in Patna. This research provides valuable baseline data for understanding urbanization impacts on local climate in rapidly growing Indian cities.

Abstract
Globally growing human activity has had an enormous effect on natural ecosystems and the services they provide. Estimating the effects of land use and land cover (LULC) on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is crucial for determining how land use changes affect human well-being. To ensure long-term sustainability of the ecosystems, considering the trade-offs and synergies between ecosystem services, tracking changes in ecosystem services, and implementing effective land use planning and conservation strategies, we can ensure the long-term sustainability. This study aimed to find out how ESV in the Borkena watershed of the Awash basin was impacted by LULC changes during the last three decades (1993–2023). The study quantifies the spatiotemporal variation of ESV of the Borkena watershed in relation with LULC changes. Six LULC types were identified using supervised image classification following maximum likelihood method in ArcGIS 10.8 environment. The ESV was estimated following benefit transfer methods based on the coefficients published by Costanza and his team in 2014. The results demonstrated that between 1993 and 2023, there was a continuous increase in the amount of land under cultivation and built-up area, as well as a decrease in the amount of forest and shrub land. The study shown that the significant expansion of cultivated land and built-up area and decreasing of forest and shrub land cover during 1993-2023 periods, has reduced the total ESV from US$ 640.74 in 1993 to US $603.52 in 2003 and US $607.05 in 2013 and US $625.45 in 2023. It is urgently necessary to take action to improve the sustainability of ecosystem service value at the landscape level with proper land management methods in light of the decline in both the total and individual ESV in the study area and period. The results of this study could be useful to raise public awareness of the state of ESV, landscape management and support policy-making processes.

Published: December 2024

Abstract
Thermal environment and land use status are the two controlling factors for determining the ecological health of any urban area. The study aims to investigates the stability of the relationship between land surface temperature with normalized difference built-up index in Hyderabad City, India using eight Landsat 8 data of the summer season in 2023. The study applies Pearson’s method for determining the correlation coefficient of this relationship. The results represent a consistent nature of land surface temperature and normalized difference built-up index values in this summer season as the range of the mean (0.08 for normalized difference built-up index and 6.78 oC for land surface temperature) and standard deviation (0.02 for normalized difference built-up index and 0.79 for land surface temperature) values of land surface temperature and normalized difference built-up index are significantly low. Land surface temperature and normalized difference built-up index values are very stable (correlation coefficient = > 0.63 for eight land surface temperature images and correlation coefficient = > 0.50 for eight normalized difference built-up index images). Moreover, normalized difference built-up index also built a stable strong positive relationship (average correlation coefficient =0.64) with land surface temperature. The summer season affects the vegetation life of the city and influences the relationship between land surface temperature and normalized difference built-up index. Built-up surface leads to an increase in the value of land surface temperature and also regulates the values of normalized difference built-up index. The study is useful for stable urban environmental planning.

Abstract
Introduction: The mortality rate of hemodialysis patients is extremely high and it is significantly affected by vascular access dysfunction. Our research aimed to determine predictive parameters of arteriovenous fistula functioning and survival in a one-year follow-up period.
Methods: The research was organized as a prospective, one-year study, which included 120 dialysis patients who were followed for one year. We recorded the demographic and gender structure, clinical parameters, and laboratory findings significant for the survival and functioning of arteriovenous fistulas. Laboratory findings are presented as the mean values of the analysis at the beginning and the end of the one-year control period.
Results: Univariable regression analysis confirmed the predictive significance of anastomosis positioning, type of vascular access, length of hemodialysis treatment, hemoglobin, Kt/V index values, and creatinine concentration for one-year survival, but multivariable regression analysis confirmed predictive significance only for length of treatment. Univariable regression analysis revealed significant predictors of vascular access function for the length of hemodialysis treatment, diastolic blood pressure, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin, creation of an arteriovenous fistula by a nephrologist, starting hemodialysis with a fistula and not with a central venous catheter, multivariable regression analysis confirmed predictive significance for the length of dialysis treatment and creation of an arteriovenous fistula by a nephrologist.
Conclusion: A prognostically important parameter for the one-year survival of a patient on hemodialysis is the length of dialysis treatment. In contrast, predictive parameters for the functioning of an arteriovenous fistula are the length of dialysis and the creation of a fistula by a nephrologist.
Analog and Digital Poetry in the Context of Time
Authors: Sinelnikova L. N. 
Published: December 2024

The article provides a review of the monograph Poetry in the digital age. In the artistic world of Valery Dudarev by M. A. Dudareva, D. A. Aripova and V. V. Nikitina (Moscow; St. Petersburg: Centre of Humanitarian Initiatives, 2024. – 116 p.). The researchers analyzed V. Dudarev’s poetics in cultural and philological aspects with an emphasis on the apophatic (transcendental, thanatological) properties of the organization of poetic texts. The book consists of an introduction, three collectively authored chapters, Natural Philosophy of Valery Dudarev, Dialogues with the Other, and Reverse Perspective, and a conclusion. Together they present an existing and eye-opening read on Russian poetry, with some poems analyzed through various lenses in several chapters of the book. The ontological and hermeneutic approach provided a deep insight into the worldview, and particularly the poetics of V. Dudarev. To answer the questions stated in the introduction, the authors developed a system of terms interdisciplinary in nature in order to describe the poetics both from rational and intuitive perspectives. Valery Dudarev is a great Russian poet, and his works reflect and preserve the Russian cultural code. One of the major topics and sources of inspiration for the poet was Russian countryside, represented through villages, gardens, country roads, wells, chapels, etc. In the first chapter, the authors of the monograph show their readers the semantic reserves of V. Dudarev’s natural philosophy, manifested in the inseparability of the natural and the sacred. Concepts such as earth, sky, water, fire, air, wood, and Motherland are the basis of Dudarev’s poems. Through the presence in the natural world, V. Dudarev’s lyrical hero establishes semantic connections at deep level and forms new types of interdependence between the phenomenal (contemplative) and the noumenal (cognizable). The second chapter reveals that the features of Valery Dudarev’s dialogical self are determined through an existential reading of plot and figurative-linguistic connections with Pushkin, Lermontov, Mandelstam, Samoilov and many other poets. As a result, the apophatic reserve of Russian poetry was shown on significant empirical material. In the third chapter, the apophatic reserve of the analog poetry of the pre-digital era was presented using the example of vast empirical material. The authors of the monograph draw attention to the risks associated with digital poetry, in which a metaphysical view of the world is lost. On reading Poetry in the Digital Age, one not only gets to know Valery Dudarev as a poet and thinker, but also develops curiosity to learn more about his works and Russian poetry in general.
Tosaka Jun: Problems of Space and Time in the Philosophy of Everydayness
Authors: Karelova L. B. 
Published: December 2024

The article is focused on the analysis of the theory of space and time by the Japanese neoMarxist philosopher Tosaka Jun. Tosaka was one of the first in his country to act as a critic of Western philosophy, whilst also being a follower of one of its directions. The relevance of studying this cultural phenomenon lies in the possibility of supplementing knowledge about Asian philosophies in the context of the ongoing pivot to the East. The empirical basis of the research was a series of Tosaka’s essays written in 1920-30s focused on the problems of space and time, as well as his monograph “Japanese Ideology.” The main methods used in the article were the methods of comparative analysis, discourse analysis, and (based on the analysis of concepts and terms) the techniques of logical and semantic reconstruction of the system of ideas associated with a particular problem. The author sets the goal of investigating the content and features of the interpretation of space and time in Japanese thought of the 20th century using the example of Tosaka’s philosophy in the context of discussing the role of everydayness as an epistemological basis for philosophical teachings. In this regard, the task of identifying the original solutions and approaches of the Japanese thinker was realized, allowing us to consider his legacy a significant part of the historical and cultural process, as well as to understand the significance of his philosophical ideas in modern discussions. Another important task of the study was to determine the paths of transfer and transformation of ideas, in particular, the refraction and critical rethinking of Western concepts in the Japanese intellectual space. As a result, for the first time in scientific literature, a detailed reconstruction of the problems of space and time, based on the entire body of Tosaka’s works is presented. The conclusion is substantiated that by introducing a number of concepts (everyday space, historical time, character, configuration, relevance, etc.) and rejecting traditional Marxist ideas about the linearity of time and the value approach to history, the Japanese philosopher rethought the Marxist philosophy of history from the position of his theory of everyday life and common sense, creating an original model of unequal cycles formed from within the historical whole and possessing internal completeness, and, thus, presented history as a non-linear and uneven process that has not only a temporal but also a spatial dimension.
Hanseatic City-States as actors of Proto-Paradiplomacy: Cultural Integrators of Economics, Politics and Law
Authors: Lebedeva O. V. , Bessonova M. M. 
Published: December 2024

Stemming from the theory of paradiplomacy, the study investigates the topic of external contacts of quasi-states of the Hanseatic League as a special type of cultural and diplomatic activity. The relevance of this study is associated with the need for a more comprehensive description of the behavioral dynamics of such structures both today and in retrospect. The study attempts to identify the roots of the modern cultural phenomenon of paradiplomacy. To reach this goal it was necessary, firstly, to systematize modern theoretical approaches to paradiplomacy; secondly, to apply a theoretical framework to studying paradiplomacy on the example of the Hanseatic League; and thirdly, to find the correspondences and inconsistencies between this framework and the economic, political and legal practices of the Hanseatic League. The research materials are both theoretical works on paradiplomacy and historical documents concerning the activities of the Hanseatic League. It has been revealed that even though paradiplomacy is traditionally dated back to the globalization of the 1970s, some elements of paradiplomacy can be observed as early as in the Middle Ages. As a result of the study, it has been shown that external contacts of quasi-state formations of the Hanseatic League may be considered as prototypical paradiplomacy: the cities of the Hanseatic League were guided by the common Lübeck Law, which regulated, in particular, the external relations of the Hansa members and outlined the framework of proto-diplomatic cooperation; common economic interests pushed the Hanseatic cities to cooperate with the urban entities of Norway, England and Rus'. Based on the theory of the Canadian political scientist A. Lecourt, the authors conclude that all three levels of paradiplomatic activity were present in the Hansa. To substantiate the conclusion, it was proved that the first (economic) level is represented by actual economic interaction that underlay the existence of the Hanseatic League, as shown by the example of the connections between German cities and Novgorod. The second (cultural) level of paradiplomacy with cultural interaction as a strategy to increase the influence of city-states is represented by the so-called Hanseatic fairs. The third (political) level includes the provision by Lübeck of a fleet for the transport of the army of the Teutonic Order, land and sea military campaigns and the conclusion of the Stralsund Peace Treaty. The authors analyze the Hanseatic League office system in the context of the antennas theory of paradiplomatic interaction by J. Ciesielska-Kilkowska and T. Kamiński. At the same time, it demonstrates the limitations of the theoretical approaches used in relation to medieval city-states.

ОПРЕДЕЛЕНИЕ СТАЦИОНАРНОГО ТЕМПЕРАТУРНОГО ПОЛЯ СФЕРОИДА ПРИ ГРАНИЧНЫХ УСЛОВИЯХ ПЕРВОГО РОДА
Authors: КАНАРЕЙКИН А И. 
Published: December 2024

Статья посвящена вопросам стационарной теплопроводности в шаре при граничных условиях первого рода. Сначала в работе определялось поле в шаре, когда часть его поверхности, соответствующая заданному шаровому сегменту, остаётся при заданной температуре, а другая часть имеет противоположное значение температуры. При нахождении решения используется метод разложения в ряд, содержащий полиномы Лежандра. Результирующие формулы получены в сферической системе координат. На основании полученного решения был рассмотрен случай срезанного вытянутого сфероида, когда поверхность вращения поддерживается при заданной температуре, а плоскость среза имеет температуру, равную нулю. Также в работе был рассмотрен частный случай для срезанного сжатого сфероида.
The article is devoted to the issues of stationary thermal conductivity in a sphere under boundary conditions of the first kind. At first, the field in the ball was determined when a part of its surface corresponding to a given ball segment remains at a given temperature, and the other part has the opposite temperature value. When finding a solution, the method of decomposition into a series containing Legendre polynomials is used. The resulting formulas are obtained in a spherical coordinate system. Based on the obtained solution, the case of a cut elongated spheroid was considered, when the surface of rotation is maintained at a given temperature, and the plane of the slice has a temperature equal to zero. The paper also considered a special case for a cutoff compressed spheroid.
