The concept of digital transformation (DT) has revolutionized different facets of society including institutions of learning, where it has continued to influence teaching, learning and research. Over time and with the continued technological advancements in biological science disciplines, it has become clear that the increased convergence between these disciplines and digital systems application will become more apparent. For example, the advent and application of next-generation sequencing (NGS), machine learning (ML), artificial intelligence (AI) and other automated biological processes have afforded unique huge data sets with high societal impact. As such, digitalization of the bioeconomy remains necessary. The digitalization of the biosciences has birthed emerging concepts like "digital biology", "engineered biology" and "bio-revolution" and involve computer-centered biosciences. These are built around the integration of scientific data, modeling at several levels, as well as networked science. Nonetheless, it is still plagued by information derivation policies and technicality issues. Although, digital biology has seen a major boost in recent years with the emergence of new and updated digital biology databases and platforms for advanced computational modelling, and connection and visualization of bio-data at a molecular level, more efforts are needed from governmental stakeholders (policy makers), industry and academia to enhance the impact of computational automation and digital transformation in bioscience activities. Hence, a steady upscale in digitalization of the biosciences would ensure bioprocess development, increase teaching, research efficiency and productivity, birth more innovative future applications for various industries, and thereby impact several aspects of life. This article presents how selected biological science disciplines have been digitally transformed through data analytics and how the concept could be further explored in advancing teaching, learning and research.

Resumen: Cuando las empresas comprenden las variables que impulsan la satisfacción de los clientes, pueden establecer mejores puntos de referencia y perfeccionar sus estrategias. En la actualidad, existe un crecimiento exponencial de las compras de ropa de moda a través de plataformas digitales. Esta investigación evalúa si la orientación a la moda rápida y a la moda lenta, la conciencia ambiental y las experiencias del producto, emocional y con el sitio web inciden sobre la satisfacción con la compra en línea. Además, se analiza la importancia y el rendimiento de las experiencias sobre la satisfacción. Las técnicas estadísticas utilizadas son un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales basados en mínimos cuadrados parciales y una matriz de importancia-desempeño. El diseño de investigación fue cuantitativo, explicativo y transversal, desarrollado en la frontera norte de México y aplicado a 539 compradores de ropa en plataformas web o aplicaciones digitales. Los resultados evidencian que solo la orientación a la moda lenta influye sobre la conciencia ambiental, a diferencia de la orientación a la moda rápida que no tiene efecto en ella, la conciencia ambiental tiene un impacto positivo sobre los tres tipos de experiencia y éstos inciden favorablemente sobre la satisfacción con la compra de ropa en línea. La matriz importancia-desempeño evidenció que la experiencia con el sitio web/app es el factor más relevante para la satisfacción en línea. En conclusión, la satisfacción con la compra en línea depende en gran medida de la experiencia con el sitio web.

Abstract: Companies that understand which variables drive customer satisfaction can establish stronger metrics and refine their strategies. Currently, there is an exponential growth in fashion shopping through digital platforms. Our research assesses if fast fashion and slow fashion orientation, environmental awareness, and product, emotional, and website experiences have an effect on satisfaction with online shopping. Moreover, the importance and performance of experiences on satisfaction is analyzed. Statistical techniques used are a structural equation model based on partial least squares and an importance-performance matrix. The research design was quantitative, explanatory, and cross-sectional, conducted in the northern border of Mexico and applied to 539 clothing shoppers on web platforms or digital applications. The results show that only the slow fashion orientation influences environmental awareness, unlike the fast fashion orientation that does not have an effect on it, environmental awareness has a positive impact on the three types of experience, and they favorably impact satisfaction with the purchase of clothing online. The importance-performance matrix revealed that the website/app experience is the most relevant factor for online satisfaction. In conclusion, satisfaction with online shopping is highly dependent on the website experience.

ABSTRACT This study focuses on evaluating the numerous secondary effects, such as mass wasting and soil liquefaction, caused by the Mw 6.5 earthquake that occurred on January 18, 2021, in the province of San Juan, Argentina. The epicenter was located on the eastern flank of the Las Osamentas range. Although it caused significant damage to buildings and cultivated areas, there were no fatalities. The aim is to identify and describe these secondary effects and determine the seismic intensity of the event using the INQUA's (International Union for Quaternary Research) 2007 ESI (Environmental Seismic Intensity) scale. Field assessments were conducted shortly after the earthquake, documenting liquefaction and mass wasting structures through direct observations, digital photographs, GPS (Global Positioning System) localization, and data inventory, among other methods. This procedure validates a protocol for future applications in estimating seismic intensities for sparsely populated areas. Additionally, the study seeks to confirm the scientific and cultural importance of these ephemeral structures as assets that could be protected, therefore contributing to regional development.

RESUMEN Este estudio presenta una evaluación de los numerosos efectos secundarios, como la remoción en masa y la licuación de suelos, producidos por el terremoto de Mw 6,5 que tuvo lugar el 18 de enero de 2021 en la provincia de San Juan, Argentina. El epicentro se ubicó en el flanco oriental del cordón de Las Osamentas. Aunque el evento causó daños significativos en edificios y áreas cultivadas, no hubo víctimas fatales. El objetivo es identificar y describir estos efectos secundarios, así como determinar la intensidad sísmica utilizando la escala ESI (Environmental Seismic Intensity) 2007 del INQUA (International Union for Quaternary Research). Las evaluaciones de campo se realizaron poco después del sismo, y se documentaron las estructuras de licuación y remoción en masa a través de observaciones directas, fotografías digitales, localización con GPS (Global Positioning System) y confección de un inventario, entre otros métodos. Este procedimiento permite validar un protocolo para futuras aplicaciones en la estimación de intensidades sísmicas para áreas escasamente pobladas. Adicionalmente, se busca confirmar la importancia científica y cultural de estas efímeras estructuras como activos que podrían protegerse y así contribuir al desarrollo regional.

Resumen La moderna Sociedad del Conocimiento percibe una innovadora característica basada en manejar los contenidos curriculares, potenciando el pensamiento lógico matemático por medio de plataformas y aplicaciones digitales. El objetivo del presente trabajo se centraliza en analizar estrategias didácticas aplicadas por docentes para potenciar las habilidades matemáticas en los estudiantes del nivel de Bachillerato General Unificado dentro de la Unidad Educativa “Eidan Abel Erique Cercado” del cantón San Vicente. El aspecto metodológico se basó en el enfoque mixto, empleando como instrumento primordial una prueba pedagógica que mide las destrezas del pensamiento numérico, así como los indicios de una entrevista semi estructurada y los aportes de docentes del área de matemáticas como participantes dentro de un grupo focal. Se comprobó la predisposición para un trabajo orientado bajo la plataforma Khan Academy, necesaria para beneficiar las habilidades del pensamiento numérico poco perfeccionadas en el estudiante. Finalmente, se denotaron aquellas estrategias empleadas por los docentes las cuales no afirman una estimulación consistente para potenciar las habilidades numéricas, demostradas bajo un nivel poco aceptable en el afianzamiento de la resolución de problemas con enfoque matemático en los estudiantes.

Abstract The modern knowledge society perceives an innovative characteristic based on managing curricular contents, promoting mathematical logical thinking through digital platforms and applications, the purpose of this work is focused on determining the existing perception with the use of the Khan Academy platform in the mathematical skills and how teachers focus didactic strategies to enhance mathematical skills in students of the Unified General Baccalaureate level within the "Eidan Abel Erique Cercado" Educational Unit of the San Vicente canton. The methodological aspect was based on the paradigm of the mixed approach, using as a primary instrument a pedagogical test that measures the skills of numerical thinking, as well as the indications of a semi-structured interview and the contributions of teachers in the area of mathematics as participants within a focus group. The predisposition for a work oriented under the Khan Academy platform, necessary to benefit the slightly improved numerical thinking skills in the student, was verified. Finally, those strategies used by teachers were denoted which do not affirm a perennial stimulation to enhance numerical skills, demonstrated under an unacceptable level in the consolidation of problem solving with a mathematical approach in students.

Organisations need to adopt AI successfully and responsibly. AI's technical capabilities make AI powerful. However, the implementation of AI in organisations is not limited to the technical elements and requires a more holistic approach. An AI implementation within an organisation is a sociotechnical system, with the interplay between social and technical components. Considering the sociotechnical nature of AI in organisations, the following research question arises: From a sociotechnical perspective, how can an organisation increase adoption of AI as part of its quest to become more data-driven? In light of the research question, we propose to create a sociotechnical artificial intelligence adoption framework with a target audience of both academics and practitioners. This study follows a design science research approach, constituting various iterative cycles. The study is conducted at an automotive manufacturer's IT Hub based in South Africa and has the aim to gain concrete, contextual, in-depth knowledge about a specific real-world organisation. To achieve this, focus groups serve as the primary research method. As the organisation at which the study took place is seen as a global leader in industrial digital transformation, the experience can help researchers and other organisations understand how an organisation can increase the adoption of AI.

Abstract This exploratory study presents the main results from the analysis of the tracking of mobile application use by 342 young adults (18-30 years old) in Portugal considering the gendered power relations that may be reflected in those uses. The results indicate that Social Media and Messaging apps are predominant, while the tracking of the self categories (Health and Well-being, Fitness and Self-tracking) are the least used (with greater weight in privileged socioeconomic classes). Although there are more women than men using these apps, thus preserving gendered structures, these digital platforms may also be conceived as venues for the growth of male self-tracking and self-care.

Resumo Este estudo exploratório apresenta os principais resultados da análise do rastreio (tracking) do uso de aplicações móveis por 342 jovens adultos/as (18-30 anos) em Portugal, considerando as relações de poder com base no género que podem ser refletidas nas suas utilizações. Os resultados indicam que as apps de Redes Sociais e Mensageiros são predominantes, sendo que as categorias de auto-rastreio (Saúde e Bem-estar, Fitness e Self-tracking) são as de menor uso (tendo maior peso em classes socioeconómicas favorecidas). Ainda que existam mais mulheres do que homens a utilizar essas apps, mantendo-se as estruturas genderizadas, estas plataformas digitais também poderão ser concebidas como espaços para o crescimento do auto-rastreio e do autocuidado masculino.

Abstract The graphic representation of archaeological objects serves as a valuable source of knowledge about the past, contributing to heritage conservation and communication. With the emergence of new technologies in the early 21st century, digitalization techniques for creating 3D models have seen increased usage in various aspects of archaeological practice in Argentina, particularly in public communication. This paper examines the diverse applications of digital photogrammetry in archaeological communication within Buenos Aires. Approaching the subject from a perspective of digital public archaeology, we analyze the virtual spaces where institutional projects convey their work. Additionally, through the use of questionnaires, we delve deeper into select cases to comprehend the decision-making processes and achieved outcomes. Within the same analytical framework, and as a preliminary step towards outlining a future agenda, we discuss the experiences of the 3D Collections project by Arqueología en Cruce (Department of Humanities, UNS) and the Área de Arqueología y Antropología (AyA) in Necochea.

Resumen Desde los inicios de la disciplina, la representación gráfica de bienes arqueológicos resulta una fuente de conocimiento del pasado y un soporte para la conservación y comunicación del patrimonio. Con la llegada de las nuevas tecnologías a principios del siglo XXI, las técnicas de digitalización para generar modelos 3D son cada vez más utilizadas en la Arqueología argentina, especialmente en la comunicación pública. En este trabajo evaluamos los usos que tienen algunas de ellas en la comunicación de la Arqueología bonaerense. Para ello, desde una visión de la Arqueología Pública Digital, analizaremos los espacios virtuales donde los proyectos institucionales difunden sus trabajos. Asimismo, mediante cuestionarios, profundizaremos en algunos de los casos relevados para entender las decisiones tomadas en el proceso y los resultados alcanzados. Bajo estas mismas categorías de análisis, y buscando esbozar una propuesta de agenda futura, abordaremos de forma preliminar la experiencia del proyecto Colecciones 3D del Programa Arqueología en cruce (Departamento de Humanidades, UNS) y del Área de Arqueología y Antropología Necochea (AyA).

Abstract The development of technological devices and virtual environments applied to communication has changed the means of access to knowledge. In this context, the role of images is updated within the framework of a hypervisual world. Thereby, Archeology has ventured into the use of visual and interactive resources in order to democratize science and bring cultural heritage closer to society. Based on the development of innovative strategies that integrate new technologies and digital/virtual visual resources, our aim is to contribute to archaeological practice development. Consequently, we propose to articulate different theoretical conceptions by a visual and interactive communicational strategy and its practical applications through vivential communicational devices, the mobile ArqueoLab-UBA and the metaverse Spatial IO, with the aim to generate a digital integrated repository. In this way, the bond between society and cultural heritage can be strengthened based on the use of virtual environments and a variety of visual resources.

Resumen El desarrollo de herramientas tecnológicas y entornos virtuales aplicados a la comunicación de la ciencia, han transformado los medios de acceso al conocimiento. En este contexto, el rol de las imágenes se renueva en el marco de un mundo hipervisual. La arqueología ha incursionado en el empleo de recursos visuales e interactivos con el fin de democratizar la ciencia y acercar el patrimonio cultural a la sociedad. En este sentido, el objetivo es contribuir a la práctica arqueológica a partir del desarrollo de estrategias innovadoras que integren las nuevas tecnologías y los recursos visuales digitales y virtuales. Para ello, proponemos la comunicación visual interactiva como estrategia que articula diferentes concepciones teóricas y su puesta en práctica a través de la aplicación de dispositivos comunicacionales vivenciales, el ArqueoLab-UBA móvil y el metaverso Spatial IO, con el objetivo de generar el repositorio digital integral ArqueoLab-UBA. De esta manera, a través del uso de entornos virtuales y distintos recursos visuales se logra fortalecer el vínculo entre la sociedad y el patrimonio cultural.

Abstract This article examines technological postpandemic trends in Mexico, using the technologies recorded in patent and utility model applications filed with the Mexican Institute of Industrial Property (IMPI). We found that the number of applications decreased by more than 50% in 2020 and 2021 compared to 2018. On the other hand, technologies related to COVID-19 significantly increased in 2020-2021 compared to 2018, but not digital technologies. Interestingly, we found that approximately 90% of utility models have only Mexican inventors and applicants, while in patents, this percentage is halved. This finding suggests that minor inventions related to products or industrial tools are being developed locally, but inventions requiring more significant novelty, including not only objects but also substances or processes, are only half Mexican.

Resumen Este artículo estudia las tendencias tecnológicas en México en el periodo posterior a la pandemia, utilizando las tecnologías registradas en las solicitudes de las patentes y modelos de utilidad del Instituto Mexicano de la Propiedad Industrial (IMPI). Se encontró que el número de solicitudes disminuyó en más del 50% en 2020 y en 2021, respecto a 2018. Por su parte, las tecnologías relacionadas con el COVID-19 aumentaron significativamente en 2020-2021 respecto a 2018, pero no así las de tecnologías digitales. De manera interesante, aproximadamente el 90% de los modelos de utilidad tienen únicamente inventores y solicitantes mexicanos, mientras que en las patentes este porcentaje se reduce a la mitad. Ello indicaría que las invenciones menores de productos o herramientas industriales están siendo desarrollados localmente, pero las invenciones que requieren mayor novedad y que incluyen no sólo objetos, sino también substancias o procesos, sólo la mitad son mexicanas.
