Abstract Digitalization is a largely ongoing process, affecting the sustainability of social, economic and administrative systems all countries. Our work focuses on public sector specifically university system. We explore challenge digital change its contribution to transparency anti‐corruption policies, with look opportunities risks associated adoption approaches. Using content analysis tool, we investigate efforts Italian universities in transformation their ability integrate digitalization strategies. Findings reveal that most these institutions are actively addressing digitalization, but few them consider it as strategy strengthen transparency, even fewer assess risk deriving from technologies. On basis our results, an appropriate benchmarking/benchlearning process would bring advantages dissemination best practices

Background The rapidly increasing role of the internet in obtaining basic services poses challenges, especially for older adults’ capabilities getting they need. Research on predictors use and digital competence is relevant given that people are living longer than before, age profile many societies changing rapidly. Objective We aimed to examine associations objective measures physical cognitive impairment with nonuse low among adults. Methods A longitudinal population-based design was used combined data from performance tests self-rated questionnaires. Data were gathered 2017 2020 1426 adults aged between 70 100 years Finland. Logistic regression analyses associations. Results Those who had poor near (odds ratio [OR] 1.90, 95% CI 1.36-2.66) or distant vision (OR 1.81, 1.21-2.71), restricted failed abduction upper arms 1.28-2.85), results word list memory 3.77, 2.65-5.36) delayed recall 2.12, 1.48-3.02) greater odds their counterparts.

The advancement of digital technologies has become a transformative driver economic development. Digitalisation is central to the global economy, enhances productivity, drives innovation, and promotes inclusive growth. Despite this potential, South Africa faces persistent challenges such as skills shortages, unemployment, poverty, socioeconomic inequality. This study investigates role digitalisation in advancing complexity, human capital development, gross national income Africa. A index, constructed through Principal Component Analysis, ARDL models, Granger causality analysis, provides insights into short- long-term impacts causal relationship. findings reveal that education significantly enhance development long run, with infrastructure also driving immediate gains. For model, pose short-term pressures due expenditures, while institutional quality plays an important sustaining income. Economic complexity benefits positively from over term, though stress governance infrastructure. Causality analysis further shows interconnectedness these variables, income, reinforcing digitalisation. results call for policies align developmental priorities sustainability. Investments infrastructure, accessible education, frameworks are critical building skilled labour force enhancing maintaining financial stability.

Abstract Background Well-functioning primary health care (PHC) systems are needed to meet the challenges of aging populations and increasing needs. However, “medical deserts”, areas with poor accessibility availability PHC services, remain a significant issue throughout Europe, contributing regional inequalities. Identifying location these is crucial for effective policymaking improving outcomes. Our aim was locate underserved in Finland by developing medical desert index. In addition, we examined impact telehealth, needs, multiple funding sources on index analyzed its association key quality indicators. Methods The calculated using routinely collected municipality-level consultation data from 2022 adjusted population needs (availability) average travel time nearest center (accessibility). Telehealth occupational healthcare consultations were included separately. Standardized values mapped categorized descriptive analysis, compared indicators utilization, availability, satisfaction, continuity correlation analysis. Results displayed clear patterns deserts, primarily rural northern eastern Finland. Approximately 13% Finnish resided defined as standard score -0.5 or lower. inclusion telehealth appeared improve especially some areas. Better indicated through index, significantly correlated lower proportion acute consultations, fewer hospital days, among clients aged 65 years older. Conclusions We able identify deserts utilizing novel methodology distinct previous indicators, thus providing important considerations future research inequalities services. findings demonstrated potential services mitigating though appropriateness groups remains unclear. call policy addressing service provision
