Resumen: Se trata de estudiar, en una primera aproximación, el impacto del cambio en el modo de producción como consecuencia de la telemática y el uso del aprendizaje de las máquinas y la inteligencia artificial en muchas de las aplicaciones y procesos repetitivos en los sistemas sociales de producción y distribución de bienes. Se utilizó el método del construccionismo sistémico, que, en definitiva, parte de la base de que los datos no son datos, sino construcciones con supuestos teóricos inevitables, y de que la lengua es el sistema en el que se construyen los lenguajes que son un límite general para obtener y comunicar información en la sociedad. Esto conduce a una teoría de las acciones algo diferente de las de Parsons y Luhmann, que lleva al concepto de praxemas, y a todo un nuevo análisis de la sociedad y su derecho.

Abstract: The aim is to study, in a first approximation, the impact of the change in the production mode as a result of telematics and the use of machine learning and artificial intelligence in many of the applications and repetitive processes in social systems of production and distribution of goods. The method of systemic constructionism was used, which, in short, assumes that data are not data - they are constructions with unassailable theoretical assumptions and that language is the system in which the general limit languages are constructed to obtain and communicate information in society. This leads to a theory of actions somewhat different from those of Parsons and Luhmann - leading to the concept of praxemas, and to a whole new analysis of society and its law.

Abstract: The shape of cities has historically been the expression of complex processes of material and energy differentiation. Like any open and self-regulating system, it needs to evolve by exchanging flows of information and matter with its environment based on non-linear interactions made up of hierarchies and complementarities necessary for its adaptation. In order to establish causality with the phenomenon of socio-spatial fragmentation, structural inequality has been analyzed as a stratifying factor of spatialities in urban space. The dialectical hermeneutic method has allowed the modeling of concepts from information theory and thermodynamics to explain the interaction logic of the operating subsystems and their consequences in the hybrid structuring of urban space. The identification of cycles and morphogenetic causality in the production of spatialities forms a theoretical-conceptual contribution to the study of urban dynamics when spatial proximity coexists with social distance as a norm.

Resumen: La forma de las ciudades ha sido históricamente la expresión de complejos procesos de diferenciación material y energética. Como todo sistema abierto y autorregulador, necesita evolucionar intercambiando flujos de información y materia con su entorno a partir de interacciones no lineales conformadas por jerarquías y complementariedades necesarias para su adaptación. Con el fin de establecer una causalidad con el fenómeno de la fragmentación socio- espacial, se ha analizado la desigualdad estructural como factor estratificador de las espacialidades en el espacio urbano. El método hermenéutico dialéctico ha permitido modelar conceptos de la teoría de la información y la termodinámica para explicar las lógicas de interacción de los (sub)sistemas operantes y sus consecuencias en la estructuración híbrida del espacio urbano. La identificación de ciclos y patrones morfogenéticos repetidos de manera sistémica en la producción de espacialidades conforma un aporte teórico- conceptual para el estudio de las dinámicas urbanas cuando conviven como una norma, la proximidad espacial con la distancia social.

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to analyze the effects of digital transformation in the accounting and financial sector in Ecuador. To achieve this objective, three specific objectives were established, which were: to identify the changes that digital transformation has generated in accounting and financial processes in Ecuadorian companies from various industrial sectors, to analyze the perceptions of accountants and financiers about the adoption of digital technologies in their daily tasks and how it affects their work performance, and evaluate the effectiveness of the technological solutions implemented in the accounting and financial sector in Ecuador, in terms of efficiency, cost reduction and improvement in decision making. To carry out this research, a non-experimental cross-sectional research design was used and a questionnaire was applied to 150 accountants and financiers from different companies in Ecuador. The results of the research indicate that digital transformation has had a positive impact on the accounting and financial sector in Ecuador, since it has allowed greater efficiency in processes, cost reduction, and improved decision-making. Likewise, accountants and financiers perceive that the adoption of digital technologies in their daily tasks has improved their work performance and has allowed them to focus on more strategic tasks. Regarding the technological solutions implemented in the accounting and financial sector, it was found that the most used are accounting and finance software, business resource management systems and document management systems. These solutions have proven to be effective in improving processes and reducing costs.

Abstract: The aim of this work is to put forward a methodology to evaluate the oscillatory stability of a power electric system (PES) analyzing the low-frequency oscillatory modes (LFOM) through the processing of synchrophasor measurements Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) of ambient data. The proposed methodology, based on spectral and pseudo-energy analyses and on parametric methods of Canonical Correlation Analysis and Yule-Walker, estimates the LFOM, whose frequency and damping characteristics provide critical information to PES operators to carry out preventive or emergency control actions. The proposed methodology was applied to synthetic measurements for its tuning and to characterize its range and accuracy, and to PMU records of the Ecuadorian power transmission system, successfully identifying the 0.4 Hz inter-area mode of the Ecuador-Colombia interconnection. The contributions of this work are aimed at evaluating the oscillatory stability of the PES through automatic computational tool that processes PMU signals of ambient type data.

Resumen: El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una metodología para evaluar la estabilidad oscilatoria de un sistema eléctrico de potencia (SEP) mediante el análisis de los modos oscilatorios de baja frecuencia (MOBF) a través del procesamiento de mediciones sincrofasoriales (Phasor Measurement Units PMU) de datos tipo ambiente. La metodología propuesta, basada en los análisis espectral y de pseudoenergía y en los métodos paramétricos de Análisis de Correlación Canónica y de Yule - Walker, estima los MOBF, cuyas características de frecuencia y amortiguamiento brindan información crítica a los operadores del SEP para adoptar acciones de control preventivo o de emergencia. La metodología propuesta fue aplicada a mediciones sintéticas para su sintonización y caracterizar su alcance y precisión, y a registros PMU del sistema de transmisión de energía de Ecuador logrando identificar satisfactoriamente el modo interárea de 0,4 Hz propio de la interconexión Ecuador-Colombia. Las contribuciones de este trabajo están encaminadas a evaluar la estabilidad oscilatoria de los SEP a través de una herramienta computacional automática que procese señales PMU de datos tipo ambiente.

Abstract: Smart Grids have revolutionized the electricity industry by enabling more efficient control and monitoring of the electricity supply, with a key component being smart meters (SM). These collect information on demand, energy, and harmonic distortion, among others, which must be stored and managed efficiently in a metering data management system (MDMS). The MDMS must ensure that a complete set of data is obtained for use in algorithms to ensure the reliability and quality of the power supply. To address the challenge of management the big data generated by SM, short, medium, and long-term measurement forecasting techniques have been proposed, highlighting the use of artificial intelligence such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Deep Learning (DL) methods due to their ability to adapt to different input and output variables with various time horizons. In addition, the influence of the diversity of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the update time and data storage in the MDMS is highlighted. In this sense, this work aims to identify which ANN or DL architecture(s) could be more suitable for enterprise, survey, or research applications, demonstrating favorable performance metrics in different scenarios of sampling frequency and typical data update times in Smart Grids. This is relevant due to the need for MDMS to perform multivariate and multi-pass predictions in the short term to complete the information until the information is available or updated.

Resumen: Las Redes Eléctricas Inteligentes de Distribución (REID) han revolucionado la industria eléctrica al permitir un control y monitoreo más eficiente del suministro eléctrico, con un componente clave siendo los medidores inteligentes (SM). Estos recopilan información sobre la demanda, energía, distorsión armónica, entre otros, que deben ser almacenados y gestionados eficientemente en un sistema de gestión de datos de medición (MDMS). El MDMS debe garantizar la obtención de un conjunto completo de datos para su uso en algoritmos que aseguren la confiabilidad y calidad del suministro eléctrico. Para abordar el desafío de gestionar la gran cantidad de datos generados por los SM, se han propuesto diferentes técnicas de predicción de mediciones a corto, mediano y largo plazo, destacando el uso de inteligencia artificial como las Redes Neuronales Artificiales (ANN) y métodos de Aprendizaje Profundo (DL) debido a su capacidad de adaptación a diferentes variables de entrada y salida con diversos horizontes temporales. Además, se destaca la influencia de la diversidad de Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) en el tiempo de actualización y almacenamiento de datos en un MDMS. En este sentido, este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar qué arquitectura o arquitecturas de ANN o DL podrían ser más adecuadas para aplicaciones en empresas, estudios o investigaciones, demostrando métricas de rendimiento favorables en diferentes escenarios de frecuencia de muestreo y tiempos de actualización de datos típicos en un REID. Esto es relevante debido a la necesidad del MDMS de realizar predicciones multivariables y multipaso a corto plazo para completar la información, hasta que la misma esté disponible o se actualice.

Abstract The mental health for workers in healthcare was affected by the overload derived from care for COVID-19 patients. It is recognized that there was no knowledge about the disease or labor systems prepared to deal with the pandemic. Mental health problems among of a group of eight nursing workers (6 women and 2 men) employed at a state health institution was addressed through a mutual help group created as an emotional support network. The information co-created by the group across 10 sessions was analyzed through narratives using a relativistic approach, with the thematic axes of emotional discomfort in the face of uncertainties and aggressions; need to be and moral dilemmas; courage to overcome institutional disorganization; emotional overload and the recovery of strategies and resources. The implications of the process narrated by the group resulted in an effective strategy for improving the mental health of the participants and the need to have virtual services to cope with needs or circumstances such as those triggered by a pandemic as well as the strength of the group process are discussed.

Resumen La salud mental del personal sanitario quedó afectada ante la sobrecarga derivada de la atención a pacientes por COVID-19. Se entiende que no había conocimientos sobre la enfermedad ni sistemas laborales preparados para atender la pandemia. La problemática de salud mental de un grupo de 8 profesionales de enfermería (6 mujeres y 2 hombres), laborando en una institución de salud estatal, fue atendida a través de un grupo de ayuda mutua creado como dispositivo de contención emocional. Se analiza la información co-creada por el proceso grupal de 10 sesiones a través de las narrativas desde un enfoque relativista, con los ejes temáticos del malestar emocional ante las incertidumbres y las agresiones; el deber ser y las disyuntivas morales; el coraje impulsor ante la desorganización institucional, la sobrecarga emocional y la recuperación de estrategias y recursos. Se discuten las implicaciones del proceso narrado por el grupo constituido como una estrategia efectiva para la mejora en la salud mental de los participantes y la necesidad de tener dispositivos virtuales ante necesidades o circunstancias como las detonadas por una pandemia, así como la fortaleza del proceso grupal.

Abstract The Comayagua Valley in Honduras, located at coordinates 14˚38’44.73” N and 87˚38’04.90” W, stands out for its altitude of 630 meters above sea level and its dimensions of 52 km in length by 15 km in width, covering an area of 535 km². Despite its economic and connectivity importance, there is a lack of studies addressing its territorial and geomorphological unity and a characterization of its current territorial morphology. The objective of the research is to identify and analyze the shape and natural physical elements that define the Comayagua Valley. To achieve this, Geographic Information Systems tools were used to analyze river layouts, create a digital elevation model, and generate topographic profiles. The main results of this analysis reveal the natural physical elements that shape the valley, which are of vital geo-historical importance for understanding the processes of occupation and land use in the valley.

Abstract Introduction: Chacón-Monge et al. (2024) sought to test the accuracy of DNA barcoding for species identification in Pacific Central American shallow water echinoderms. They used cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) sequences derived from new material collected as part of the BioMar-ACG project in Costa Rica. Using their set of 348 echinoderm sequences, they compared species identification results from two online platforms: the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank using the nucleotide Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLASTn), and the Barcode of Life Data Systems (BOLD) Identification Engine. Objective: The present article is a response to their results and conclusions. Methods: We reinterpreted the results from the authors’ Appendix 2 to enable an objective comparison between the BOLD Identification Engine and BLASTn in GenBank. Results: While the authors found that both platforms were limited by the number of reference sequences available in their respective databases, they concluded that GenBank outperformed BOLD for identification; however, we identify several methodological flaws in their analysis. These include pseudoreplication amongst query sequences, contaminated sequences stemming from sampling errors, and a lack of standardization when interpreting results from the two platforms. Their assessment of the BOLD Identification Engine was also limited by improper selection of a reference database. Conclusion: Addressing these errors, we reinterpret their results and demonstrate that there is no difference in performance between the two platforms.

Resumen Introducción: Chacón-Monge et al. (2024) intentaron probar la precisión de los códigos de barras de ADN para identificar especies de equinodermos de aguas poco profundas del Pacífico Centroamericano. Para ello, utilizaron secuencias de citocromo c oxidasa I (COI) provenientes de material recolectado recientemente como parte del proyecto BioMar-ACG en Costa Rica. Utilizando 348 secuencias de equinodermos, compararon los resultados de identificación de especies de dos plataformas en línea: GenBank del Centro Nacional de Información Biotecnológica (NCBI) empleando la herramienta de búsqueda de alineación local básica de nucleótidos (BLASTn) y la herramienta de identificación del Sistema de Datos del Código de Barras de la Vida (BOLD). Objetivo: El presente artículo es una respuesta a sus resultados y conclusiones. Métodos: Reinterpretamos los resultados presentados por los autores en Apéndice 2 para comparar objetivamente el sistema de identificación de BOLD y el de BLASTn en GenBank. Resultados: Si bien los autores encontraron que ambas plataformas estaban limitadas por la cantidad de secuencias de referencia disponibles en sus bases de datos, concluyeron que GenBank superó a BOLD en la identificación de especies; sin embargo, notamos varias fallas metodológicas en su análisis. Estas incluyeron la pseudorreplicación entre las secuencias consultadas, el uso de secuencias contaminadas derivadas de errores de muestreo y falta de estandarización al interpretar los resultados de las dos plataformas. Su evaluación del sistema de identificación de BOLD se vio limitada por la selección inadecuada de una base de datos de referencia. Conclusión: Teniendo en cuenta estos errores, reinterpretamos sus resultados y demostramos que no existe una diferencia significativa en el rendimiento de ambas plataformas.

Abstract: This paper presents a bibliometric analysis based on research studies published between 2010 and 2022 to address the question: How are the contents of natural sciences teaching organized, and what are their theoretical and methodological foundations? The search was conducted in the SciELO, Dialnet, Scopus, ProQuest, and Google Scholar databases using the following keywords: teaching and learning sequences, teaching sequence, learning sequence, didactic proposal, teaching proposal, didactic strategy, didactic unit, didactic sequence, classroom experience, classroom project, didactic system, and natural sciences (biology, physics, chemistry, astronomy, and geology). A total of 85 articles were found and analyzed according to three categories: 1) general characteristics of the articles, 2) the nature of the proposed experiences, and 3) mediating elements in the construction. The study established that the most commonly implemented content organization systems are "teaching and learning sequence," "didactic sequence," and "didactic unit." It was also observed that teachers are increasingly considering the contexts and realities of students in both content and strategies. Additionally, important elements were identified for teachers when designing content organization, including the history of sciences, cognitive-linguistic skills, new information technologies, and evaluation

Abstract This article reflects on Brazilian civil monitoring initiatives that address public transparency, situating them within the broader phenomenon of civil monitoring that has emerged in recent decades and its implications for the media system. Descriptively, it analyses how these initiatives, discursively anchored in defence of the public interest and the demand for transparency, disclose (or do not) their own formative and operational elements, a hypothesis referred to as “dual transparency”. To this end, the article provides a theoretical overview of public transparency within democratic systems, with a particular focus on the Brazilian context. It explores civil monitoring and the challenges faced by initiatives in establishing legitimacy, as well as their interactions with the media system. It then analyses six contemporary Brazilian initiatives on the subject, based on a review of their websites for discourses on four categories: (a) origin, (b) team, (c) funding, and (d) partnerships. The article reveals that these initiatives apply the concept of “dual transparency” inadequately and inconsistently, reflecting their inherent monitoring nature. Specifically, they often fail to disclose information about their sources of funding and expenditures, resulting in opaque systems where private interests may be concealed.

Resumo O artigo reflete sobre iniciativas de vigilância civil brasileiras que versam sobre a transparência pública, entendendo-as como parte de um fenômeno de democracia monitória conformado nas últimas décadas com implicações para o sistema político e midiático. De caráter descritivo, desenvolve uma análise acerca de como essas iniciativas, ancoradas discursivamente na defesa do interesse público e na cobrança por transparência, dão (ou não) visibilidade para os seus próprios elementos formativos e operacionais, em uma hipótese nomeada de “dupla transparência”. Para tanto, o artigo desenvolve uma recuperação teórica sobre a transparência pública no sistema democrático e no caso brasileiro, aborda a democracia monitória e a vigilância civil, pensando nos desafios das iniciativas na construção de sua legitimidade, assim como suas interfaces com o sistema midiático. Em seguida, são analisadas seis iniciativas brasileiras contemporâneas sobre o tema, a partir de uma busca em seus websites acerca de discursos sobre quatro categorias: (a) origem, (b) equipe, (c) financiamento, e (d) parcerias. Como resultado, o artigo constata que as iniciativas em questão aplicam de forma deficitária e variada, de acordo com sua própria natureza de monitoramento, a ideia de “dupla transparência”, falhando, especialmente, em apresentar informações sobre suas fontes de financiamento e gastos, construindo sistemas opacos nos quais interesses privados podem ser escondidos.

The Call for the STI Conference held in September 2024, in Berlin, argues that there is a variety of processes of openness among different communities and stakeholders which pose questions about the interaction of openness and closedness. It stimulates the participants to ask how much closedness is embedded in openness and vice versa and how to measure these intertwined phenomena. This keynote has been framed in these basic concerns and intends to advance towards the intersection with inclusiveness, considering that openness is necessary but not sufficient to achieve a more equitable and effective scholarly communication globally. In the convergence of field approach and structural heterogeneity, we build a conceptual framework to assess the combinations observed in the space of open science, and the stakeholders that represent forces towards inclusiveness or exclusiveness. Exploring the main indicators of inclusive openness, 7 cartographies are proposed for a global mapping and the discussion of the main issues at stake towards a just transition to open science: 1) a comparison between the distribution by country of repositories of published output and primary data repositories, 2) a mapping of the Current Information systems (CRIS) and their different developments at the national and institutional level, 3) a cartography of persistent identifiers of digital resources comparing DOI and ARK, 4) a cartography of persistent identifiers for  active researchers (ORCID) by country and its weak representation of the national research communities, 5) a comparison of the coverage of identifiers of research organizations (ROR) with a national database of organizations, 6) a cartography of indexed journals with no-fee for publishing or reading and 7) a mapping of multilingualism in scholarly publishing, by platform. Finally, some study cases are discussed to show examples of the limited inclusiveness of the current state of open infrastructures and publishing platforms.

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.

For a long period of time, what is termed scientific knowledge and discoveries have constantly ignored the existence of indigenous practices and knowledge. Until recently, indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) were not acknowledged when it comes to responding to the ailing world. IKS includes information created inside inborn social orders, autonomous of, and earlier to, the appearance of the cutting-edge logical information framework. It can relate to issues such as conserving nature, food production, forestry development and medicine, to mention a few. The purpose of the article is to discuss the importance of the integration of IKS and culture into climate change adaptation. This article makes the case that scientific interventions among the impoverished in rural developing nations are viewed as foreign and are thus not accepted by the local populace. Consequently, the scientific approach by development experts, and the complex nature of climate change and its understanding, has had no impact on people's adaptation in rural areas, where most of the people still rely on IKS to survive. This theoretical article focuses on the implications of IKS for climate change adaptation. The question the article intends to answer is, with the advent of climate change in recent years, how are rural communities coping with its impact? How is the scientific understanding of climate change with its complexities filtering down to the indigenous communities' coping and adaptation activities? The article's conclusion demystifies the notion that the impact of climate change might be mitigated, and repair achieved solely by scientifically developed measures against it. The article intends to contribute towards building knowledge that acknowledges the importance of different sources of interventions towards addressing climate change. It is important for the current and future professoriate to look beyond the conventional understanding of dealing with challenges such as climate change that the world is facing.

ABSTRACT. Using satellite sensor data for studying sea surface temperature (SST) provides advantages over in situ information, such as obtaining data from large areas and remote access regions in short periods. However, differences between the SST values recorded in situ and those by satellite sensors are due to the intrinsic nature of both methods and meteorological factors. The present study aims to search the difference between SST values from in situ and satellite sensor data of 1×1 km resolution (type L4) from the Group of High-Resolution Sea Surface Temperature (GHRSST) for an annual cycle in a socio-ecological critical area known as the Gulf of Ulloa (GU). The linear regression, linear spline regression, and logic models showed an overestimated SST by satellites compared to in situ data, particularly at temperatures below 20°C. The overestimation can be attributed to the oceanic-atmospheric variations, which are consequences of upwelling and the time lag between the data record morning by in situ and night by satellite sensors. This finding may be relevant in decision-making for marine resource management and conservation in the GU. The information may help to seek the sustainability of this social-environmental system.

Abstract: This article presents a case study, based on the social systems theory, about how the communicative process influences the configuration of labor expectations upon graduation from the university in two groups of engineering students of the Electronics and Mechatronics careers of the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. The methodology, which has an explanatory scope, has a quantitative approach, and makes use of a survey technique and functional method in order to carry out a comparative analysis of the degree of informational interdependencies between the educational, economic and family systems. The results highlight that continuous school paths are possible with economic support from the family and that the work experiences, which consist of communicative situations that influence the type and degree of resonance of the information to condense, are predominantly work alternatives oriented to the automotive industry and activities linked with the design of system. In addition, few intentions for business entrepreneurship and graduate studies can be observed.

Resumen: Este artículo presenta un estudio de caso, basado en la teoría de sistemas sociales, sobre la influencia del proceso comunicativo en la configuración de las expectativas laborales al egresar de la universidad en dos grupos de estudiantes de ingeniería de las carreras de Electrónica y Mecatrónica de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla. La metodología tiene un alcance explicativo, utiliza un enfoque cuantitativo y, para realizar un análisis comparativo del grado de las interdependencias informativas entre los sistemas educativo, económico y familiar, se usaron la técnica de la encuesta y el método funcional. Los hallazgos resaltan trayectorias escolares continuas con apoyo económico de la familia y experiencias laborales, las cuales consisten en situaciones comunicativas que influyen en el tipo y grado de resonancia de la información para condensar, predominantemente, alternativas de trabajo orientadas a la industria automotriz y actividades en diseño de sistemas. Además, hay pocas intenciones de emprendimiento de negocios y estudios de posgrado.
