"Digital Health Diplomacy" in Global Digital Health? A call for critique and discourse.

Actualizing the vision of Global Digital Health is a central issue on the Global Health Diplomacy agenda. The COVID-reinforced need for accelerated digital health progress will require political structures and processes to build a foundation for Global Digital Health. Simultaneously, Global Health Diplomacy uses digital technologies in its enactment. Both phenomena have driven interest in the term "Digital Health Diplomacy." A review of the literature revealed 2 emerging but distinct definitions that have been published very recently, each with its associated discourse and practice. This multiplicity of ideas demonstrates the myriad ways in which global digital and political systems are becoming increasingly entangled. Untangling these, this paper proposes and discusses 3 dimensions of Digital Health Diplomacy: "Diplomacy for digital health," "Digital health for diplomacy," and "Digital health in diplomacy." It calls upon digital health professionals, diplomats, political and social scientists, epidemiologists, and clinicians to discuss, critique, and advance this emerging domain.

Digital Cooperation as a Promising Way to Improve the Financial Results of Enterprises

The paper argues that digital cooperation is a promising way to improve the financial results of enterprises and to develop recommendations for crisis management of enterprises in the Russian regions in 2021 to obtain the profits lost in 2020. To reflect and consider the difference between regions with different levels and rates of socio-economic development, this study is conducted on the samples of four types of regions created based on the statistics of digitalization, cooperation, and financial results of enterprises in 2020. In regions of each type, the study finds a regression dependence of the balanced financial performance of enterprises on the level of digitalization and the number of business clusters (as an indicator of the level of cooperation in entrepreneurship). Thus, the paper confirms the hypothesis that the profits lost in 2020 (business losses due to the pandemic) can be extracted in all Russian regions through the development of digital cooperation, which allows to define it as a promising way to improve the financial results of enterprises. For this purpose, the authors propose applied recommendations for regions with profound differences. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
