The form and nature of family communication in Algeria are influenced by a range of factors, such as globalization, modernization, the technological revolution, Western influence, changes in women's roles within the context of modernity and tradition, and various other elements. These factors vary based on the unique nature, size, customs, traditions, values, cultural level, role, status, and environment of each family. Considering modern changes, how do university students perceive and represent family communication? By examining the nature and models of family communication, this study aims to provide insights into the experiences of university students. The sample included 35 participants, / students from the Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences at the University Centre of Maghnia. Conducting an interview without specific constraints, which encompassed multiple questions related to family communication. The study revealed that students mostly use phone calls and social networks to communicate with their families, usually several times a week, and the common topics were studies and personal life. Despite the distance, most students felt close to their parents. Moreover, students’ experiences with digital communication and its effect on family relationships differed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many industrial enterprises are forced to deal with the challenges caused by the need for innovative and technological development of the economy, considering modern trends and directions for implementing changes in all spheres of life. This is caused by a change in technological structures, which exacerbates the need to modernize industry and the economy. The main goal of the article is to substantiate the conceptual foundations of the modernization of the Russian economy in the context of technological and social transformation caused by the transition to a new technological order. To achieve the goal, the following tasks were solved: 1) a comparative analysis of the modernization term was carried out; 2) the main concepts of modernization development are grouped and the most fully reflecting this process is highlighted - a complex concept; 3) the classification of the main types of modernization was carried out and the need for its technological component was substantiated; 4) a model for the formation of technological modernization has been developed. The study was carried out using methods of comparative, structural-functional, scientometric and statistical analyzes, systemic and integrated approaches. The bases for the formation of technological modernization of industrial enterprises in the form of an appropriate model are formulated. The carried out substantive analysis showed that at present, in connection with the transition of many countries to a new technological mode, domestic industrial enterprises need to carry out technological modernization in order to increase their strategic technological competitiveness.

In the current global economic environment, competition is becoming acute and complex, and rapid technological changes are shortening product lifecycles and the capacity of a company to generate new goods and services, or to improve them and distribute them as quickly as possible to markets. Changes of technological nature have been so rapid lately that one can talk of a new technological revolution if we take into account the waves of technological development which are based on the spectacular progresses in informatics, telecommunications, robotics, fiber optics, fine chemical products and in aerospatial industry.

World economy is experiencing some important transformations, mainly due to the rapid evolution of the informational and communication technologies. In the last years, new technologies flooded the production processes. They have allowed the improvement of the processing and use of the economic information and the general accelaration of the economic flows. The technological revolution is presented in all its trade forms, either the wholesale trade or the retail trade. The technical progress interferes with the economic activity through the re-engineering of the production lines, the revolution in the field of building materials and store, shopping center, malls and industrial hall building, the considerably shorter time period these are being built and they become available for the commercial activity, the revolution in the field of supply, merchandise storage and manipulation, the appearance of different types of intelligent machineries and equipment, merchandise storage software improving the way the client is served at the counter. The industrial revolution determines a reorganization of the economic activity, a resetting of the trade economic activity by directing the trader towards the client using new commercial techniques and strategies.

For ten years, the State develops its support for research in nanoscience and nanotechnology. Nanotechnology in fact represent a major economic issue for companies. Their applications include multiple sectors. This new technological revolution, however, requires to consider its dangers, particularly on human health and the environment. It is especially urgent attention to the risks they may cause to the health and safety of workers handling these materials. There is currently no specific regulations, French or European, to protect the employees being in such an environment. Many studies, however, state real risks to human health, it is therefore necessary to accelerate the implementation of measures protecting workers without waiting for confirmation of the toxicity or safety of those materials.

At various stages according to times, travel narratives fall within an epistemological process and aim at mirroring (more or less) distant worlds. Otherness is displayed, albeit at the expense of a kind of voyeurism. The article intends to consider the transformations of the protean genre formed by travel narratives after World War II and to scrutinize their metamorphosis in contemporary literature, at a time when 'nomadism' seems to be a key concept, renewing romantic Wanderung. To what extent was this versatile genre able to cope with various aesthetic and ideological turns and adjust to the artistic and especially to the technological revolutions of the last decades?

We are currently living in a time of "technological revolution", marked by accelerated transformation of modes of production and an increase of global productivity. There are four principal aspects to the technological revolution: 1) information technology; 2) biotechnology; 3) space research; and 4) new forms of energy production. Any study of contemporary capitalism must integrate an analysis of technological changes and their impacts if it is to be of value. The technological revolution is still an integral part of capitalist structures however, and in particular is used to reinforce the imperialist dimension of the current world economic system.
