Abstract By the year of two thousand and nineteen, the private medical service industry growth was concentrated in the border cities of the Sonora state due to the large number of foreign patients and around six hundred thousand Sonora residents or descendants living in the state of Arizona (López, 2019). Hermosillo stands out among the border municipalities, thanks to its internationally certified private hospital infrastructure. However, the absence of post-operative-care as well as external services promoters in Mexico and internationally, combined with a fragmented value chain, have slowed down the growth of the medical industry in the capital (López, 2019). Our society is still in the first stages of digitalization therefore a universally accepted concept of digital economy has yet to be established. There's a gap between the available tools and the implementation in order to optimize the value chain and the customer experience. The current document contextualizes the private medical service industry in Hermosillo, Sonora within the digital economy through documentary research on digital resources, in the matters of politics, economics, social and technological context. In addition, the health crisis forced the digitalization of the commercialization processes in order to accomplish established objectives, thereby positioning the medical service industry as a participant in the digital economy.

Resumen Para el año dos mil diecinueve el crecimiento de la industria médica privada se daba más en las ciudades fronterizas del estado de sonora debido a la afluencia de pacientes extranjeros y unos seiscientos mil sonorenses o descendientes radicados en el estado de Arizona (López, 2019). Hermosillo destaca de los municipios fronterizos, gracias a la infraestructura privada hospitalaria certificada internacionalmente. Sin embargo, la ausencia de servicio postoperatorio al igual que agentes externos promotores de los servicios en el extranjero como en la república mexicana y una desconexión en la cadena de valor, han frenado el crecimiento de la industria médica en la capital (López, 2019). El concepto de economía digital no cuenta con una definición ampliamente aceptada, debido a que la sociedad se encuentra en las primeras etapas de digitalización. Existe una brecha entre las herramientas y su instrumentación para eficientar la cadena de valor y la experiencia del cliente. El presente documento contextualiza la industria privada de servicios médicos de Hermosillo, Sonora en la economía digital mediante una investigación documental de recursos digitales, esto en materia política, económica, social y tecnológica. Aunado a lo anterior la crisis sanitaria forzó a la digitalización de los procesos comerciales para lograr los objetivos planteados, por lo que la industria médica se convirtió en un actor de la economía digital.

Resumen: Las Reservas Ecológicas, son la base primordial para la subsistencia de la biodiversidad, desempeñan funciones cruciales para el mantenimiento de los ecosistemas, especialmente, en la preservación de los servicios ecosistémicos de regulación del clima y suministro de agua. Determinar la capacidad de acumulación del COS en tres ecosistemas de la Reserva Ecológica Arenillas (REAR) y la influencia que tienen con los factores de profundidad y el tipo de suelo, fue el objetivo de la investigación. Se partió de la hipótesis que dichos factores ejercen un efecto sobre las propiedades físicas-químicas del suelo, provocando la variabilidad del carbono. Se establecieron 14 unidades de muestreo para los tres ecosistemas; 1) Intervenido, 2) Bosque deciduo y 3) Bosque arbustal deciduo, se extrajo de cada unidad dos muestras de suelo a profundidades de (0-10 y 10-30 cm), dando un total de 28 muestras. Los resultados revelaron diferencias significativas entre los tres tipos de ecosistemas, permitiendo afirmar que, en la REAR, el contenido de COS es mayor en el ecosistema de Bosque deciduo, que en los denominados Bosque arbustal deciduo y la zona Intervenida. Así mismo, los suelos del tipo Alfisol y Entisol en el Bosque deciduo presentaron la mayor capacidad de almacenamiento de COS, siendo la capa superficial la de mayor acumulación en los tres ecosistemas. Se concluyó que las bajas precipitaciones, el aumento de la temperatura y la esporádica vegetación producida por actividades antrópicas, afectan el almacenamiento de COS, limitando la prestación de servicios ecosistémicos relacionados con la captura de carbono edáfico.

Abstract: Ecological Reserves are the primary basis for the subsistence of biodiversity, they play crucial roles in the maintenance of ecosystems, especially in the preservation of ecosystem services of climate regulation and water supply. The objective of the research was to determine the accumulation capacity of COS in three ecosystems of the Arenillas Ecological Reserve (REAR) and the influence of depth factors and soil type. It was hypothesized that these factors exert an effect on the physical-chemical properties of the soil, causing carbon variability. Fourteen sampling units were established for the three ecosystems; 1) Intervened, 2) Deciduous Forest and 3) Deciduous shrub forest, two soil samples were extracted from each unit at depths of (0-10 and 10-30 cm), giving a total of 28 samples. The results revealed significant differences between the three types of ecosystems, allowing us to affirm that, in the REAR, the COS content is higher in the deciduous forest ecosystem than in the deciduous shrub forest and the Intermediate zone. Likewise, Alfisol and Entisol soils in the deciduous forest had the highest COS storage capacity, being the surface layer the one with the highest accumulation in the three ecosystems. It was concluded that low precipitation, increased temperature and sporadic vegetation produced by anthropic activities affect COS storage, limiting the provision of ecosystem services related to soil carbon sequestration.

Abstract Digital Welfare State in Ecuador: Citizen Datafication and Machine Learning in the Construction and Management of Poverty In the era of digital governance, the increasing use of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in social protection systems has emerged as a prominent concern. The state's efforts to promote citizen datafication and the implementation of AI for managing and providing social services and benefits are guided by principles of neutrality, objectivity, and technological efficiency. Nevertheless, these technologies can not only improve the effectiveness of social benefits allocation, but also have the potential of controlling, monitoring, sanctioning, and excluding beneficiaries. In light of the prevailing techno-optimism evident in the design of contemporary social policy, particularly with regard to its allocation mechanisms, this study draws upon insights from Science, Technology, and Society Studies to shed light on how data systems and AI technologies transform the notion of poverty and impact the definition of beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries. This approach focuses on unraveling the political dimension of data systems and AI technologies that are emerging as mediators in the relationship between the state and citizens. Through the case study of Ecuador's Social Registry, the aim is to enrich the critical examination of digital welfare states in the Latin American region, analyzing their implications for society and their potential to produce or exacerbate inequality and exclusion; challenging deterministic views of technological change and public policy design.

Resumen En la era de la gobernanza digital, la utilización creciente de datos y tecnologías de Big Data e Inteligencia Artificial (IA) en los sistemas de protección social se ha convertido en un asunto relevante. Los esfuerzos del Estado por impulsar la datificación ciudadana y la implementación de la IA para la gestión y provisión de servicios y beneficios sociales están vehiculizados por las ideas de neutralidad, objetividad y eficiencia tecnológica. No obstante, estas tecnologías no solo pueden mejorar la efectividad en la asignación de beneficios sociales; sino que también tienen el potencial de controlar, monitorear, sancionar y excluir a los beneficiarios. Ante el tecno-optimismo que marca el diseño de la política social contemporánea, específicamente sus mecanismos de asignación, este trabajo apuesta por los Estudios de la Ciencia, Tecnología y Sociedad para dar luz sobre cómo los sistemas de datos y las técnicas de IA transforman la noción de pobreza e impactan en la definición de beneficiarios y no beneficiarios. Este enfoque se centra en desentrañar la dimensión política -de la politics- de los sistemas de datos y las tecnologías de la IA que comienzan a mediar la relación entre el Estado y los ciudadanos. A través del estudio del caso ecuatoriano del Registro Social, el objetivo recae en nutrir el examen crítico de los Estados de Bienestar Digital en la región latinoamericana, analizando sus implicaciones en la sociedad y su potencial para producir o amplificar desigualdad y exclusión; desafiando las visiones deterministas del cambio tecnológico y del diseño de políticas públicas.

Resumo No presente artigo a intensificação do uso de tecnologias para a estruturação e implementação de políticas sociais ganha centralidade. Nesta direção, os manuscritos estão organizados de maneira a apresentar, num primeiro momento, alguns pressupostos teóricos sobre o conceito de tecnologia que subsidiam a análise apresentada na sequência e que diz respeito aos processos da chamada transformação digital no Brasil, considerada uma estratégia nacional no contexto da “modernização” do Estado. Com vistas a dar maior concretude à análise, numa seção distinta, toma-se como referência empírica a problematização da mediação de recursos tecnológicos para o acesso às políticas de previdência e de assistência social brasileiras, cujas propostas têm alterado completamente as formas de atendimento à população usuária dos serviços nestas áreas e os processos de trabalho dos que atuam nestas políticas. Trata-se de uma síntese baseada em estudos que vêm sendo realizados no âmbito de uma pesquisa que aborda a relação entre tecnologia e política social, implementada por um conjunto de pesquisadores de três universidades públicas federais brasileiras.

Abstract This article examines the growing use of technologies in the structuring and implementation of social policies. In this sense, the manuscripts are structured to present, initially, some theoretical assumptions about the concept of technology that underpin the subsequent analysis. This analysis focuses on the processes of the so-called digital transformation in Brazil, which is considered a national strategy within the context of the "modernization" of the State. In order to provide a more concrete basis for analysis, a separate section is dedicated to the problematization of the mediation of technological resources for access to Brazilian social security and social assistance policies, which serves as an empirical reference. The proposals have fundamentally transformed the manner in which services are provided to the user population and the work processes of those engaged in these policies. This synthesis is based on studies conducted as part of a research project examining the relationship between technology and social policy. The research was carried out by a group of researchers from three Brazilian federal public universities.

RESUMEN La brecha digital hace referencia a la forma de exclusión social que afecta el uso de la tecnología e impacta en mayor medida a los pueblos originarios. En Oaxaca, por su alta densidad de población indígena, se observa un continuum histórico de desigualdad que se expresa en la pobreza, la marginación, la baja escolaridad y el bajo poder adquisitivo, barreras para el acceso a las tecnologías digitales. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los factores sociodemográficos, económicos, culturales y geográficos que inciden en el acceso a Internet por parte de la población indígena, así como una revisión de las políticas de inclusión digital emprendidas para la reducción de la brecha digital. Tal abordaje supuso el uso del modelo estadístico probit, utilizando datos del Censo de población y vivienda 2020. Las estadísticas arrojaron que la educación, el poder adquisitivo, el acceso a servicios básicos y el hecho de residir en lugares de mayor concentración poblacional son condicionantes para fomentar el acceso a Internet. Asimismo, se vislumbró la necesidad de diseñar y aplicar políticas digitales con la participación de los tres niveles gubernamentales (federal, estatal y municipal) y agentes sociales locales, bajo un marco del reconocimiento de la diversidad cultural; políticas que vayan más allá de lo instrumental y que promuevan la inversión pública-privada en telecomunicaciones, además de seguir avanzando en mejorar el bienestar de la población indígena.

ABSTRACT The digital divide refers to the form of social exclusion that affects the use of technology and has a greater impact on indigenous peoples. In Oaxaca, due to its high density of indigenous population, there is a historical continuum of inequality that is expressed in poverty, marginalisation, low schooling and low purchasing power, which are barriers to access to digital technologies. The aim of this paper is to analyse the socio-demographic, economic, cultural and geographic factors that affect access to the Internet by the indigenous population, as well as a review of the digital inclusion policies undertaken to reduce the digital divide. This approach involved the use of the probit statistical model, using data from the 2020 Population and Housing Census. The statistics showed that education, purchasing power, access to basic services and residing in places with a higher population concentration are conditioning factors for promoting access to the Internet. Likewise, the need to design and implement digital policies with the participation of the three levels of government (federal, state and municipal) and local social agents, within a framework of recognition of cultural diversity; policies that go beyond the instrumental and that promote public-private investment in telecommunications, in addition to continuing to make progress in improving the well-being of the indigenous population.

RESUMO A brecha digital refere-se à forma de exclusão social que afeta o uso da tecnologia e impacta em maior medida os povos indígenas. Em Oaxaca, devido à sua alta densidade de população indígena, observa-se um continuum histórico de desigualdade que se expressa na pobreza, na marginalização, na baixa escolaridade e no baixo poder de compra, barreiras ao acesso às tecnologias digitais. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar os fatores sociodemográficos, econômicos, culturais e geográficos que afetam o acesso à Internet da população indígena, bem como uma revisão das políticas de inclusão digital empreendidas para reduzir a brecha digital. Esta abordagem envolveu o uso do modelo estatístico probit, utilizando dados do Censo Demográfico e Habitacional de 2020. As estatísticas mostraram que a escolaridade, o poder de compra, o acesso a serviços básicos e o fato de residir em locais com maior concentração populacional são fatores condicionantes para promover o acesso à internet. Da mesma forma, percebeu-se a necessidade de desenhar e aplicar políticas digitais com a participação dos três níveis de governo (federal, estadual e municipal) e dos agentes sociais locais, num quadro de reconhecimento da diversidade cultural; políticas que vão além do instrumental e promovam o investimento público-privado em telecomunicações, além de continuar avançando na melhoria do bem-estar da população indígena.

Abstract This article presents a systematic literature review on the reuse of electric vehicle batteries (EVB) for second-life applications in power systems. The end-oflife of these batteries represents a major environmental problem due to their composition and materials. The study aims to analyze the reuse of EVBs as a sustainable alternative for the environment. Additionally, it seeks to provide complementary services to facilitate the incorporation of intermittent unconventional renewable generation into the electrical grid. Through an exhaustive search of scientific publications indexed in prestigious digital catalogs and their subsequent systematic treatment, a selected group of 49 scientific articles published between 2018 and 2023 have been found in which the different opportunities, benefits and limitations of second-life energy storage systems oriented to boost a circular economy have been identified. The study concludes that, although the reuse of batteries has not yet been fully addressed or implemented due to existing challenges in terms of technology, costs, and regulations, it is of utmost importance to delve deeper into its analysis to improve efficiency and reduce the environmental impacts associated with the manufacturing, use, and disposal of such batteries.

A través de una búsqueda exhaustiva de publicaciones científicas indexadas en catálogos digitales prestigiosos y de su posterior tratamiento sistemático, se ha llegado a un número selecto de 49 artículos científicos publicados entre 2018 y 2023. En ellos ha sido posible identificar las diferentes oportunidades, beneficios y limitaciones de los sistemas de almacenamiento de energía de segunda vida orientadas a impulsar una economía circular. El estudio concluye que, si bien la reutilización de baterías no está plenamente tratada ni implementada, debido a que aún enfrenta desafíos en términos de tecnología, costos y regulaciones, es de gran importancia profundizar su análisis para mejorar la eficiencia y disminuir los impactos ambientales que provocan su fabricación, uso y desecho.

Abstract This systemic review article constitutes an analysis of the change in performances that university professors have had to face in their teaching work before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, highlighting the importance of the training and development of teaching skills. Therefore, the objective is to identify the teaching competencies that university professors must develop in their new teaching role to respond to the challenges in the post-COVID stage. Remembering that university professors abruptly transitioned from the traditional educational model to a completely online one, having to reconfigure their face-to-face educational practice to a virtual education format derived from the COVID-19 health contingency, the methodology used was the one suggested by authors who have carried out systemic reviews, in such a way that search techniques and criteria, inclusion criteria and process for data analysis, as well as an internal screening protocol, were used. The results obtained are the bibliometric features of an analyzed literature, and a proposal where the basic, disciplinary, pedagogical, and digital competencies are classified and essential for the new teaching role in the Post-COVID stage. Finally, we conclude by analyzing the implications of the changes in the performances of university professors during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the challenges they will have to face to respond to the new demands for educational services in a post-COVID stage seeking at all times to continue empowering their academic work, regardless of the educational modality

Abstract: In this article, we analyze the approaches of digital media regarding the socio-sanitary needs and de-mands of communities residing in rural, remote, and neglected areas of Santiago del Estero, Argentina. Employing a qualitative design and a theoretical perspective that links health communication with critical health thinking, we build a corpus of 27 news articles published between 2016 and 2023, which we classi-fy into three dimensions and analyze their content. The results allow us to identify actions of resistance and organization in the absence of institutional socio-sanitary responses, particularly in response to the health effects of pesticide exposure and disciplines related to sexual and (non) reproductive health. We conclude that the construction of journalistic narratives reflects processes of subalternization, resistance, and disputes of meanings regarding the positions of different social actors. Through these records, we highlight how the media bring socio-sanitary issues of vulnerable communities to the forefront of public awareness

Resumo: No presente artigo, analisamos as abordagens dos meios de comunicação digital sobre as necessidades e demandas sociossanitárias das comunidades que residem em áreas rurais, remotas e negligenciadas de Santiago del Estero, Argentina. A partir de um desenho qualitativo e uma perspectiva teórica que vincula a comunicação em saúde e o pensamento crítico em saúde, construímos um corpus de 27 notícias publicadas entre 2016 e 2023, que classificamos em três dimensões e analisamos o conteúdo. Os resultados permitem identificar ações de resistência e organização diante da ausência de respostas institucionais sociossanitárias, especialmente diante dos efeitos à saúde da exposição a pesticidas e dos disciplinamentos relacionados à saúde sexual e (não) reprodutiva. Concluímos que a construção de narrativas jornalísticas reflete processos de subalternização e resistência e disputas de significados em relação às posições de diferentes atores sociais. A partir desses registros, damos visibilidade aos modos em que os meios de comunicação colocam em pauta problemas sociossanitários de comunidades vulneráveis

ABSTRACT The modern system of higher education is subject to significant transformation under the influence of digital technologies and their deep penetration into the educational process. The teaching staff of higher education today is subject to significant requirements in terms of digital literacy and skills in the development and application of information systems in the educational process and the methodological development of the educational process organized on their basis.This article focuses on the work of teachers in the digital environment. An important problem is the issue of teachers' adaptation to the dynamically changing digital environment, taking into account the requirements to the level of competence due to the specifics of the digital environment and the already existing level of digital literacy of the teacher. It is noted that in a modern university the teacher is a multifunctional subject performing teaching, methodological, research and administrative tasks, the solution of which is often associated with working in the digital environment of an educational organization. The article presents the results of the study of the digital maturity of an educational organization as a set of organized processes and interrelations between the subjects of the educational process in the totality of technical and technological digital space of the university.The authors proposed a model of "digital maturity of an educational organization", which allows to determine the level of digital development and directions of digital transformation. The method of digital development assessment is proposed, taking into account the digital environment of teachers within the framework of educational, methodological, administrative, research activities.

RESUMEN El sistema moderno de educación superior está sujeto a una transformación significativa bajo la influencia de las tecnologías digitales y su profunda penetración en el proceso educativo. Hoy en día, el personal docente de la enseñanza superior está sujeto a requisitos significativos en términos de alfabetización digital y competencias en el desarrollo y la aplicación de sistemas de información en el proceso educativo y el desarrollo metodológico del proceso educativo organizado sobre su base. Este artículo se centra en el trabajo de los profesores en el entorno digital. Un problema importante es la cuestión de la adaptación de los profesores al entorno digital que cambia dinámicamente, teniendo en cuenta los requisitos al nivel de competencia debido a las especificidades del entorno digital y el nivel ya existente de alfabetización digital del profesor. Se señala que en una universidad moderna el profesor es un sujeto multifuncional que desempeña tareas docentes, metodológicas, de investigación y administrativas, cuya solución suele estar asociada al trabajo en el entorno digital de una organización educativa. El artículo presenta los resultados del estudio de la madurez digital de una organización educativa como conjunto de procesos organizados e interrelaciones entre los sujetos del proceso educativo en la totalidad del espacio digital técnico y tecnológico de la universidad. Los autores propusieron un modelo de "madurez digital de una organización educativa", que permite determinar el nivel de desarrollo digital y las direcciones de la transformación digital. Se propone el método de evaluación del desarrollo digital, teniendo en cuenta el entorno digital de los profesores en el marco de las actividades educativas, metodológicas, administrativas, de investigación.

Abstract The healthcare context is undergoing a significant transformation, facing a series of complex and unprecedented challenges. This transformation is triggered by accessibility constraints to healthcare services, increased expectations from patients and sing financial burdens. Rather than being seen as unsolvable obstacles, these challenges can be perceived as powerful stimuli, encouraging the search for innovative and creative solutions, especially in a context where new digital technologies applicable to healthcare are emerging. In the context of this article, which shares a transformative vision of healthcare provision, we describe a pilot program developed for the Heart Failure ambulatory of the Internal Medicine Department at the Braga Local Health Unit (ULS-Braga). This proposal encompasses not only treatment, but also proactive health promotion, based on an approach that incorporates cutting-edge digital technology. The overall aim is to significantly expand the scope of outpatient services and provide innovative home care, bringing it closer to the specific needs of (healthy and sick) individuals.

Resumo O contexto da prestação de cuidados de saúde está a sofrer uma transformação significativa, enfrentando uma série de desafios complexos e sem precedentes. Esta transformação relaciona-se com preocupações prementes relacionadas com a acessibilidade aos serviços de saúde, a adaptação às expectativas dos doentes em constante evolução e aos crescentes encargos financeiros. Em vez de serem vistos como obstáculos intransponíveis, esses desafios podem ser percebidos como estímulos poderosos, estimulando a procura de soluções inovadoras e criativas, sobretudo num contexto onde existem novas tecnologias digitais com aplicabilidade à prestação de cuidados de saúde. No contexto deste artigo, que partilha uma visão transformadora da prestação de cuidados de saúde, descreve-se a proposta piloto desenvolvida para a consulta de Insufi-ciência Cardíaca do serviço de Medicina Interna, na Unidade Local de Saúde de Braga (ULS-Braga). Esta proposta engloba não só o tratamento, mas também a promoção proativa da saúde, assente numa abordagem que incorpora tecnologia digital de ponta. O objetivo global é expandir significativamente o alcance dos serviços de ambulatório e prestar cuidados domiciliares inovadores, aproximando-os mais das necessidades específicas das pessoas (saudáveis e com doença).

SIGNIFICANCE: Social media data are essential for studying human behaviour and understanding potential systemic risks. Social media platforms have, however, begun to remove access to these data. In response, other countries and regions have implemented legislation that compels platforms to provide researchers with data access. In South Africa, we have lagged behind the Global North when it comes to using platform data in our research and, given the recent access restrictions, we risk being left behind. In this Commentary, I call attention to this critical issue and initiate a conversation about access to social media data in South Africa.

Abstract: The significant advancements in technology over the past few decades have given rise to a relatively straightforward array of Internet applications based on open source software. These applications and services aim to enhance online collaboration for a broad audience, particularly through social networking sites. These platforms have transformed the dynamics of online interaction and information exchange, with millions of users regularly engaging and sharing various digital content. Users express their thoughts and opinions on diverse topics, contributing valuable insights for personal, academic, and commercial purposes. However, the sheer volume and rapid generation of this data present a challenge for decision-makers and the underlying technologies to extract meaningful insights. To leverage the data derived from social networks, researchers have focused on assisting companies in comprehending how to conduct competitive analyses and convert this data into actionable knowledge. This paper offers a comprehensive literature review on data warehouse approaches derived from social networks. We commence by introducing fundamental concepts of data warehousing and social networks, followed by the presentation of three categories of data warehouse approaches, along with an overview of the most notable existing works within each category. Subsequently, we conduct a comparative analysis of these existing works.
