In the context of primary education, students aged 11–12 years old begin to integrate digital devices and online behaviours that are more common and widespread at the secondary level. The objective of this study is to understand the factors that determine the initial digital ecosystem of students, and to evaluate the risks that these students face at a certain threshold age. The 356 participants in the sample completed a questionnaire designed ad hoc based on the findings of other studies with the same aim. The identified correlations and the regression equations obtained indicate, fundamentally, that two out of every three students who own a smartphone use it to communicate with family and friends. Furthermore, the use of mobile phones encourages young people to join and participate in social networks at an early age. The study also reveals that at this age, students use social networks mainly for the consumption of audiovisual content and not so much to share personal information of a critical nature. Finally, students in this particular age group are considered at a threshold age because they begin using smartphones regularly, making autonomous decisions without sufficient supervision regarding digital risks, thus becoming part of the Frontier Collective.

To foster the sustainable development of culture, particularly focusing on the preservation of cultural heritage, encompassing relics, intangible cultural heritage, and historical sites, China has launched a strategy for the digitalization of culture, with the goal of establishing a holistic national big data framework for cultural resources. To improve the efficiency of collaborative supply of cultural resource big data among various parties and to further advance the sustainable development of culture, this research has created a cooperative model that includes cultural institutions, a cultural resource big data service platform, and government participation. Our research findings, based on prospect theory and evolutionary game theory combined with Chinese practice, are presented below. (1) Various factors, including the coefficient of digital infrastructure empowerment, access charges for digital infrastructure, government penalties, and the probability of data leakage, have varying effects on the system in different states. (2) Once the industry has developed, the government can increase the impact of digital infrastructure empowerment to create stronger incentives, rather than relying solely on rewards or penalties. (3) When the value level of cultural resource big data is high, the benefit distribution coefficient does not affect the system evolution results. Finally, we offer practical insights for the government, cultural organizations, and cultural resource big data service platforms based on our research results. Our research offers Chinese insights for global cultural sustainable development. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The younger generations are exerting a profound influence on the future of the media. The current crisis of reputation facing traditional media is compelling those involved in the creation, production, and distribution of content to rethink the logic underpinning these processes. The consumption of entertainment and information via smartphones is becoming increasingly concentrated in screen devices and social platforms. In light of the particularities of a convergence of media and the characteristics of the digital sphere of users, it is necessary to investigate the information consumption habits and preferences of young university students towards conventional and digital media platforms, as well as social networks within the digital sphere. The objective of this research was to ascertain the news consumption habits of young university students in the context of the new digital landscape, characterised by the pervasiveness of connectivity and the ascendency of smartphones as the primary gateway to the internet. A survey of 1300 students was conducted in October 2023 to investigate their adoption, use, and consumption of traditional and digital media, as well as the devices they use and the importance of podcasts. The results, viewed through the lens of a specific ecosystem, such as that of Colombia, challenge prevailing stereotypes and suggest that younger generations continue to value traditional journalistic brands, potentially due to familial influence. The majority of content is accessed through screen devices and social media platforms. Despite the existence of prejudices, young people supplement their musical preferences with informational content and leisure and entertainment products. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose: With the growing complexity of organizational environments in both the private and public sectors, the need for inter-organizational cooperation has become increasingly important. Consequently, in recent decades, the concept of an ecosystem has been introduced to facilitate connections between organizations across various fields of management science. With the rapid development of Industry 4.0, various ecosystem combinations—such as innovation ecosystems and entrepreneurship ecosystems—have emerged. Among these, digital ecosystems represent a newer and rapidly evolving field that has garnered significant attention from researchers in recent years. The purpose of this study is to conduct a scientometric analysis and visualize a map of the knowledge structure, co-authorship network, and thematic clusters related to digital ecosystems within the field of management, as indexed in the Web of Science database.Methodology: This research is an applied study that employs common techniques in scientometrics, specifically co-occurrence analysis methods. To obtain the primary data, the keyword "digital ecosystem" was searched in the Web of Science database for the years 2000 to 2023. A total of 4,496 articles published in this database were analyzed as the statistical population. The data were analyzed using VOS Viewer and BibExcel software to extract the knowledge map and co-occurrence network. In this research, the authors' fields and indexers' keywords were utilized for synonym analysis. After retrieving the records, a total of 14,140 keywords were obtained from the 4,496 examined records for co-occurrence analysis. Of these, 1,173 frequent words, identified based on Bradford's law with a frequency of 5 or higher, were selected for co-word analysis.Findings: 14,140 keywords were identified in this analysis, with 1,173 instances exhibiting the same timing in the co-occurrence analysis of five words. The results of this six-cluster analysis indicate that the most recent emerging topics in 2021 are associated with a range of innovative information technologies, intelligent relationships, entrepreneurial ecosystems, digitalization, digital servitization, ecosystem architecture, and their impacts. The co-occurrence of the keywords shows the highest frequency in research related to the digital ecosystem from a management perspective.

In contemporary conditions, the role of youth in the labour market is increasing. Economic growth depends on the extent to which it is possible to preserve and enhance the intellectual capital of young people. Consequently, young individuals are the basis of the workforce in the future, and the development of our state depends on the formation of favorable work conditions for their engagement. Nowadays, youth play a pivotal role in shaping the political, economic, scientific, technical, industrial and social fabric of society. Therefore, fostering patriotic work attitudes among young people to ensure their effective transition from school to work is a primary aim for the economic and social security of the state, as well as maintaining stable socio-economic dynamics in the future. The purpose of the study is to develop theoretical and methodological approaches for establishing a digital ecosystem within the youth labour market. It involves a comparative assessment of youth employment in the Republic of Belarus and the regional labour market (specifically, Vitebsk region). Additionally, the study outlines requirements for data processing, classification and visualization within the digital ecosystem of the youth labour market in the region. The object of the study is the youth labour market in the Vitebsk region. The subject of the study encompasses the socioeconomic relations that emerge during youth employment, ensuring its effectiveness. The article argues for the necessity of creating a digital ecosystem of the youth labour market and proposes its own definition. Theoretical approaches to the analysis of the youth labour market, which serves as the methodological basis for creating its digital ecosystem, have been studied and summarized. Furthermore, an analysis of key indicators related to the youth labour market in the Vitebsk region was carried out, comparing it with the youth labour market in the Republic of Belarus. Notably, the study highlights the factors influencing demand in the youth labour market of the Vitebsk region. Finally, basic principles for data processing and visualization within the digital ecosystem of the youth labour market in the region have been developed.

The emergence and active development of digital ecosystems defines a new object of management study, integrating knowledge management, innovation management, operations management, supply chain management and organizational change. In conditions of competition and market barriers, economic entities actively use digital ecosystems as a key success factor. Digital ecosystems themselves are a special, complex management object whose properties change as they go through various stages of their life cycle. At the same time, the life cycles of digital ecosystems are influenced by the objects and subjects functioning in their contour and the economic systems associated with them. Based on the observation of economic systems and the influence of various factors on them, the authors determined the stages of the life cycle of digital ecosystems. Based on the study of the specifics of the behavior of digital ecosystems at the stages of their life cycles, the authors made conclusions about the most significant features of their management.

This study explores the relationship between digital access, protection, and adoption in supporting technological entrepreneurship within national digital ecosystems. The study utilised PROCESS regression analysis on the Global Entrepreneurship Development Institute (GEDI)'s Digital Development Economy (DPE) Index 2020 dataset to examine selected digital factors' direct and indirect effects on entrepreneurial activity across 116 countries. While the relationship between digital access, adoption, protection, and technological entrepreneurship has been established in previous research, this study provides global evidence to reinforce this connection. However, digital protection did not significantly moderate the effect of digital access. Notably, digital adoption emerged as a significant mediator, influencing the impacts of both access and protection on entrepreneurial outcomes. This study emphasises the importance of understanding the complex relationships between digital factors in cultivating a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, offering valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to stimulate technological innovation and economic growth.

Relevance. Development of digital ecosystems has accelerated significantly over the past three to five years, driven by global economic, social, and technological changes. Digital platforms took the lead in sales and capitalization in areas such as advertising, entertainment, trade, communications, information technology and significantly changed the financial and tourism sectors. However, the scientific literature lacks an economic analysis of the leading digital ecosystems, presenting only a description of their business models, which does not fully allows noting the key peaks of economic activity and compare the level of success. Aim. To review theoretical approaches to the management of digital ecosystems and conduct a comparative analysis of owners of leading digital ecosystems on affordable economic indicators. Methods. Methodological basis of the study is the concept of economic ecosystems and management theory. We use in the article the methods of structural-logical and comparative analysis. We analyze the Fortune 500 and Interbrand databases. Results. We considered scientific publications on the theme of digital ecosystems management with allocation of levels and objects, underling the owner role, and provides analysis of the main economic indicators of the world leading digital ecosystems in b2c and b2b-segments. Our results allowed identifying the leaders on several indicators, including the brand value. The assessment across several parameters identified Apple as a business model demonstrating better results in the digital ecosystem category. With comparable sales, Amazon, Google, Alibaba, and Meta (An organization banned in Russia whose activities are recognized as extremist) products lag in both capitalization and brand value. B2b ecosystems are less profitable than b2c, but tend to grow more steadily. We examined the need for a deeper assessment of each digital ecosystem at the level of its owner, platform, and participants.

In Spain, specialist outpatient care traditionally relied on in-person consultations at public hospitals, leading to long wait times and limited clinical analysis in appointment assignments. However, the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) has transformed patient care, creating a seamless healthcare ecosystem. At the Allergy Department, we aimed to share our experience in transitioning form a traditional linear model of patient flow across different healthcare levels to the implementation of a digital ecosystem. By telemedicine, we can prioritize individuals based on clinical relevance, promptly and efficiently addressing potentially life-threatening conditions such as severe uncontrolled asthma or hymenoptera venom anaphylaxis. Furthermore, our adoption of telephone consultations has markedly reduced the need for in-person hospital visits, while issues with unstable patients are swiftly addressed via WhatsApp. This innovative approach not only enhances efficiency but also facilitates the dissemination of personalized medical information through various channels, contributing to public awareness and education, particularly regarding allergies. Concerns related to confidentiality, data privacy, and the necessity for informed consent must thoroughly be addressed. Also, to ensure the success of ICT integration, it is imperative to focus on the quality of educational information, its efficient dissemination, and anticipate potential unforeseen consequences. Sharing experiences across diverse health frameworks and medical specialties becomes crucial in refining these processes, drawing insights from the collective experiences of others. This collaborative effort aims to contribute to the ongoing development of a more effective and sustainable healthcare system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, digital platforms in agriculture went through a phase of acquisitions and consolidation, where big players like agrochemical companies (Agrichems) and agricultural equipment manufacturers (OEMs) worked on expanding their technology stacks to build strategic portfolios of digital service offerings. To operate farm equipment efficiently, a combination of platforms and technologies is often needed, leading to the emergence of digital Agri-ecosystems. With the rising implementation of IoT technology, digital Agri-ecosystems enable multi-layer digital services and break down established categories (cloud-based and embedded). Content providers and developers creating those digital services face three options: aggregated cloud APIs (application programming interfaces), engineering service providers with proprietary technology stacks, and dedicated IoT ecosystems offering agnostic end-to-end workflows for development and deployment (first known example: NEVONEX). It is not yet fully understood how using an end-to-end IoT ecosystem changes developer requirements in comparison to existing solutions. Therefore, in this study, an example of a multi-layer digital service is developed and tested. Expert interviews (n = 21) explore relevant developer experiences and requirements. A consecutive survey (n = 30; NEVONEX developer conference) validates the findings. Results show that IoT- ecosystems speed up development and deployment cycles, save resources, and improve interoperability in operations. Engineering service providers remain very important players. Partner management, communication, abstraction of interfaces, testing infrastructure, and early end-user input are required by developers. In conclusion, IoT- ecosystems are beneficial for multi-layer digital service development; however, to fully satisfy developers and content providers, adjustments to platform functionalities and better testing opportunities on real farms are needed.

ESA's Design 2 produces cross-cutting initiative includes digitalisation, process automation, interoperability, and harnessing smart embedded sensors to achieve a seamless data cycle (SDC). The SDC in digital engineering covers requirements and design, production, assembly, integration, and testing as well as in-flight operations including recycling. Nevertheless, central data and legal challenges lie in the joint research addressed Europe-wide (geo-return) and the partner network constraints covering agency, large system integrator (LSI), research and development (R&D), and high-tech SME interests. Either way, a legal enabler for digitization of the European space business can be seen in ESA's strict compliance policy with regard to the acceptance of their general terms and conditions. In fact, it is reasonable to assume that ESA declares data to be a common deliverable in the future and that the contractors accept this too. However, there are technical challenges like portability, interoperability, interconnectivity, and the need for a federated infrastructure, while all these aspects have to be solved across company and national borders. The European Gaia-X project tackles the aforementioned challenges while targeting an open, transparent, and secure digital ecosystem in which data are stored, processed, and used while retaining data sovereignty. This paper deepens these framework conditions, addresses them from the perspective of real space applications, and presents key opportunities and challenges at the implementation level. Moreover, it shows how the seamless data cycle contributes to increase freedom of design, improve overall performance, and reduce cost and lead time from concept to manufacturing while creating new high-performance space products.
