RESUMEN Esta investigación presenta un esquema de trabajo para determinar la subsidencia del terreno mediante el uso de imágenes satelitales SENTINEL-1 y el procesamiento con el software SNAP. Se describen los pasos necesarios para obtener los desplazamientos del terreno, desde la descarga de las imágenes en las plataformas Copernicus y Alaska hasta la exportación final de los resultados en formatos que faciliten su interpretación. Como caso de estudio se analizó la carretera San Antonio-San Vicente, en Manabí (Ecuador), donde se evidenciaba la posibilidad de subsidencia en la infraestructura vial y las edificaciones circundantes. Mediante el esquema propuesto se obtuvieron valores de desplazamiento para el período 2017-2024 y los resultados se presentaron mediante herramientas gráficas que facilitan el análisis interdisciplinario y la toma de decisiones oportunas. Los desplazamientos registrados alcanzaron valores de hasta 29 cm que provocaron grietas en la estructura de la vía. Estos resultados sugieren la existencia de un proceso de subsidencia en la zona de estudio, lo que fue corroborado mediante inspecciones visuales en varios tramos de la carretera, y enfatizan la importancia del monitoreo satelital para la detección temprana y la gestión del riesgo geológico en infraestructuras.

ABSTRACT This research presents a scheme for determining ground subsidence using satellite images SENTINEL-1 and processing with SNAP software. Necessary steps for obtaining ground displacements are described, from the download of images in the Copernicus and Alaska platforms to the final export of results in formats that allow an easy interpretation. The San Antonio-San Vicente road, in Manabí (Ecuador) was analyzed as a case study, where the possibility of subsidence in the road infrastructure and surrounding buildings was evident. Displacement values were obtained for 2017-2024 period, using the proposed technological scheme, and graphical tools allowed presenting results that facilitate interdisciplinary analysis and timely decision making. The recorded displacements reached values up to 29 cm, causing cracks in the road structure. These results suggest the existence of a subsidence process in the study area, which is corroborated by visual inspections in several sections of the road, highlighting the importance of satellite monitoring for early detection and management of geological risk in infrastructures.

ABSTRACT Introduction: In the last two decades, several Da Vinci robotic platforms have been released in the market, revolutionizing the field of robotic-assisted surgery (1, 2). The system has seen numerous modifications, with several Da Vinci® robotic models being introduced, each featuring ongoing technological advancements in ergonomics, instrumentation, high-definition imaging, EndoWrist™ technology, and single-port surgery capabilities (3, 4). Building on this, the new generation Da Vinci 5 robot promises significant hardware and software improvements, with the potential for enhanced operative performance (2, 5). In this video, we will illustrate several technical advancements of the Da Vinci 5. Material and methods: We performed a video compilation comparing the Da Vinci 5 and Da Vinci Xi during radical prostatectomy. The video will highlight the technical modifications of the new platform, showcasing the advancements and improvements in the Da Vinci 5 system. Additionally, this video will illustrate key aspects of the surgery, including anterior bladder neck access, lateral bladder dissection from the prostate, posterior prostate dissection and anastomosis. Surgical technique: We performed our RARP technique with our standard approach in all patients (6–8). With this new platform, we maintained our conventional technique without any modifications or adaptions from the trocar placement until anastomosis. The beginning of the case is performed as usual, we first identify the anterior bladder neck and then complete its dissection with Maryland and Scissors. Then, we proceed to the posterior bladder neck dissection, seminal vesicles control and nerve-sparing. In sequence, we control the prostate arterial pedicles with hem-o-lok clips and then we perform the apical dissection until dividing the urethra. Finally, we perform the hemostasis, posterior reconstruction (Rocco's technique) and anastomosis with barbed suture. Results: The Da Vinci 5 features several key upgrades. The first part of our video described the console, patient cart, and energy tower modifications. The console has been ergonomically redesigned for a flat neck posture to decrease muscle fatigue, and the handgrip now includes a rubber surface for better grip (9). The patient cart, similar to the previous generation, has updated helm interfaces and integrated commands with the console and vision tower. In sequence, we described the instrument modifications and the step-by-step technique showing the DV5 and DV-Xi. Force feedback instruments provide three degrees of tactile feedback, enhancing tissue manipulation. A new security system ensures instruments can only be inserted when clear of tissues and obstructions, reducing the risk of errors. Another modification regards the ability to switch instruments and camera. Conclusion: While using and evaluating the DV5 in more than 100 cases, we noticed some improvements in the ergonomics and digital interface. The intraoperative performance was similar among the platforms and all procedures were performed without intraoperative complications or problems with the system. However, we are still evaluating the long-term outcomes and potential clinical advantages provided by this new platform.

A growing body of literature suggests that the platformization of the public sphere is eroding the public debate, thus potentially leading to the fragmentation of the public sphere. While there exists mounting evidences supporting this perspective there also exists a substantial body of literature that suggests otherwise. Within this realm of mixed evidence, studies on climate change visibility play a prominent role, presenting findings that both weaken and reinforce the fragmentation hypothesis. To investigate this matter in a context conducive for a fragmented public sphere, we collected a longitudinal (2014-2022) and cross-platform (Instagram, Facebook and Twitter) dataset (n=794.281) and correlated it with a secondary database on the press coverage of climate change in Brazil (n=3.490). Our analysis reveals a robust positive correlation between these datasets, indicating that the Brazilian public sphere retains the capacity to interconnect various arenas of visibility. We argue that this finding is particularly significant, given that it emanates from a case characterized by circumstances favoring a high degree of public sphere fragmentation. Consequently, our discovery lends support to a less pessimistic assessment of the influence of platformization on political communication within the deliberative system.

ABSTRACT The present study analyzes the impact of administrative silence on university academic processes and its implications for institutional governance. The objective is to identify and prioritize the factors contributing to this phenomenon using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Employing a mixed-methods approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with experts in university management, and a documentary analysis of regulations was carried out. The results reveal that delays in administration negatively affect educational quality, the motivation of students and faculty, and institutional planning. The lack of qualified personnel and the overload of administrative work are highlighted as primary causes of inefficacy in responses, generating distrust in the academic community and evidencing weaknesses in governance. Organizational and technological factors were identified as the most critical, with interdepartmental coordination and the lack of efficient digital platforms as significant obstacles. Improving university governance requires the modernization of administrative systems, simplification of processes, and strengthening of internal communication. These actions will help reduce the impact of administrative silence and ensure more effective and transparent management in higher education institutions.

ABSTRACT Purpose: We reported, as a referral center in prostate cancer, our perspectives and experience performing Telesurgery using robotic surgery and 5G network. Material and methods: We described and illustrated the Telesurgery applications and outcomes to treat a patient with prostate cancer located 1300 kilometers away from the surgeon (Beijing-Harbin) in China. We used the Edge Medical Robot (MP1000) in November 2023 in a 71-year-old patient with Gleason 6 (ISUP 1) in 8 cores from 13, PSA of 14 ng/dL, and clinical stage cT2a. MRI described a PIRADS 5 nodule on the left peripheral zone at the base, and 20gr prostate. We described details about the connection between centers, perioperative outcomes, and our perspectives as a referral center in prostate cancer. Results: We had no delays, or problems with network connection between the centers. The procedure was performed in 60 minutes, with no intra- or postoperative complications. Estimated blood loss was 100 mL. The patient was ambulating soon after anesthesia recovery. Final pathology described a Gleason 6 (ISUP 1) involving the left base and left seminal vesicle, negative surgical margins, and no lymph node involvement (pT3bN0). The patient was continent soon after catheter removal (7 days). Conclusion: As technological progress introduced novel robotic platforms and high-speed networks, the concept of Telesurgery became a tangible reality while 5G technology solved latency and transmission concerns. However, with these advancements, ethical considerations and regulatory frameworks should underline the importance of transparency and patient safety with responsible innovation in the field.

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. Este artículo analiza las relaciones intersubjetivas entre clientes y trabajadoras en dos plataformas digitales de trabajo doméstico en Bogotá, Colombia. Inspirado por los estudios sociales de ciencia y tecnología feministas, el texto explora cómo se configuran mecanismos de control, auditoría y subordinación sobre las trabajadoras, en los que los clientes son actores centrales en tanto establecen las condiciones del desempeño de su labor. La literatura sobre trabajo digital se ha concentrado en el análisis de los sistemas y mecanismos tecnológicos de intermediación y las formas de administración algorítmica diseñados para geolocalizar, monitorear y calificar a las trabajadoras domésticas. Sin embargo, poco se ha dicho sobre las relaciones que se tejen con los clientes y la forma como se configuran el proceso de trabajo y las tecnologías involucradas. Mediante un conjunto de más de treinta entrevistas a profundidad con trabajadoras y clientes, se analizan estas relaciones en tres áreas: (i) la expectativa de los clientes de mecanicidad del trabajo; (ii) el uso de los sistemas de calificación; y (iii) el trabajo doméstico como trabajo afectivo. El artículo concluye con reflexiones sobre la doble subordinación a la que se ven expuestas las trabajadoras con los intermediarios digitales de servicio doméstico y sobre la importancia de pensar tecnologías justas que tengan en cuenta la experiencia y las opiniones de las trabajadoras.

Abstract. This article explores the intersubjective relationships between clients and workers on two digital domestic work platforms in Bogotá, Colombia. Drawing on feminist social studies of science and technology, it investigates the control, auditing, and subordination mechanisms affecting workers, with clients playing a key role in setting performance conditions. While much of the literature on digital labor focuses on technological intermediation and algorithmic management-used to track, monitor, and rate domestic workers-this article looks at the relationships with clients and how these shape the work process and technologies involved. Based on over thirty in-depth interviews with workers and clients, the study examines three areas: (i) clients’ expectations of mechanical efficiency; (ii) the use of rating systems; and (iii) domestic work as emotional labor. The article concludes by reflecting on the dual subordination experienced by workers due to digital service intermediaries and emphasizes the need for fair technologies that consider workers’ experiences and perspectives.

Resumo. Neste artigo, analisam-se as relações intersubjetivas entre clientes e trabalhadoras em duas plataformas digitais de trabalho doméstico em Bogotá, Colômbia. Inspirado nos estudos de ciência e tecnologia feministas, no texto, explora-se como são configurados sobre as trabalhadoras os mecanismos de controle, auditoria e subordinação, em que os clientes são atores centrais ao estabelecerem as condições para a realização do trabalho. A literatura sobre o trabalho digital tem se concentrado na análise de sistemas e mecanismos tecnológicos de intermediação e formas de gerenciamento algorítmico projetados para geolocalizar, monitorar e avaliar as trabalhadoras domésticas. Entretanto, pouco se tem dito sobre as relações que são tecidas com os clientes e como o processo de trabalho e as tecnologias envolvidas são configurados. Por meio de um conjunto de mais de 30 entrevistas em profundidade com trabalhadoras e clientes, essas relações são analisadas em três áreas: (i) as expectativas dos clientes quanto à mecanicidade do trabalho; (ii) o uso de sistemas de qualificação; e (iii) o trabalho doméstico como trabalho afetivo. O artigo conclui com reflexões sobre a dupla subordinação a que as trabalhadoras estão expostas com os intermediários de serviços domésticos digitais e sobre a importância de se pensar em tecnologias justas que levem em conta a experiência e as opiniões das trabalhadoras.

This article explores the challenges posed by the digital revolution and its influence on the education system. Enthusiasm among digital natives for departing from traditional teaching methods in favour of digital tools to enhance higher education learning is evident. Employing document analysis, this research extracts valuable insights. The selection of published materials pertinent to migration is achieved through purposive and convenience sampling. The Technology Acceptance Model emerged as the suitable framework, highlighting that user perception of technology's user-friendliness and utility predicts their attitude towards adopting digital tools. The study's outcomes predominantly favour the facilitation of the process of learning. The effectiveness of a variety of technological tools including blogs, discussion forums, announcements and videos, which encourage engagement and enhance learning process overall, is highlighted by constructive feedback. Considering these findings, the study proposes that higher education institutions cultivate a professional migration identity by embracing platforms like Moodle.
