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 El derecho debe ir adaptándose a los cambios sociales que se producen a lo largo de la historia y, en este contexto, los derechos humanos poseen un carácter evolutivo y dinámico que permite avanzar en su reconocimiento, en atención a los valores o ideales del entorno social en el que nos encontramos, marcado por la globalización y el uso de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC). Este escenario motiva el reconocimiento de una cuarta generación de derechos humanos, digna de protección internacional. El propósito de esta investigación es presentar una breve revisión de las generaciones de los derechos humanos, conectadas con el momento histórico en el que se han desarrollado, con acento en el nacimiento de la cuarta generación. La nueva era digital ha provocado cambios sustanciales en nuestra forma de trabajar, de adquirir bienes y servicios, de relacionarnos y, en definitiva, de vivir. Este cambio social sin precedentes nos obliga a reflexionar sobre el sentido de la relación entre el desarrollo tecnológico y el ser humano. El enfoque de la investigación es cualitativo, con un método reflexivo y crítico, mediante la revisión y el análisis documental de normas y doctrina, para analizar los riesgos que enfrentamos y los ámbitos en los que esa transformación ha sido más relevante. Por último, se describen acciones normativas europeas, para orientar la respuesta jurídica necesaria, que posibilite aprovechar todo el potencial tecnológico que se despliega ante nosotros, sin menoscabo en la protección de los derechos humanos. La investigación pudo constatar que debe proponerse una adecuación del ordenamiento jurídico para asegurar la efectividad de tales derechos.

Abstract The law must adapt to the social changes that have occurred throughout history. In this regard, human rights have an evolutionary and dynamic nature that allows progress in their recognition in response to the values or ideals of the social context in which we are immersed, marked by globalization and the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT). This scenario motivates the recognition of a fourth generation of human rights that is worthy of international protection. This research aims to present a brief review of the generations of human rights connected to the historical moment when they were established, emphasizing the birth of the fourth generation resulting from the technological revolution we are witnessing. The new digital era has caused substantial changes in our way of working, acquiring goods and services, relating to each other, and, ultimately, living. This unprecedented social change forces us to reflect on the meaning of the relationship between technological development and human beings. The research approach is qualitative, with a reflective and critical method. A documentary review and analysis of norms and doctrine allowed us to discuss the risks we face and the areas where this transformation has been most relevant. Finally, various European regulatory actions are described to guide the necessary legal response, taking advantage of all the technological potential unfolding before us without affecting the protection of human rights. The study confirmed that an adaptation of the legal system must be proposed to ensure the effectiveness of such rights.

Abstract In recent years, the South Korean philosopher living in Germany, Byung-Chul Han, has been setting new paths for philosophical reflection using the theoretical potential that arises from the understanding of the new social, political and economic realities that mark this era of neoliberal evolution and of technological development in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Thus, topics such as the transformation of biopolitics into psycho-politics become a very relevant point for the analysis of current societies and their drifts. With this background of thought, this article aims to delve into Han’s arguments, exploring the crucial role that emotions play in societies of performance, fatigue and lack of democracy, resorting to the metaphor of the “hamster wheel” as an image evocative of the dynamics of current societies. In this way, an innovative perspective of the complexity of the 21st Century is presented by delving into certain nuances of Han’s thought in connection with the palpable reality of the emotions that act as the fuel that propels each individual in their own “existential wheel”. This articulation with emotional experiences contributes significantly to contemporary discussions about human nature in contexts of technological innovation.

Resumen En los últimos años, el filósofo surcoreano radicado en Alemania, Byung-Chul Han, viene marcando nuevos derroteros para la reflexión filosófica usando el potencial teórico que surge de la comprensión de las nuevas realidades sociales, políticas y económicas, que marcan esta época de evolución neoliberal y de desarrollo tecnológico, en el contexto de la cuarta Revolución Industrial. Así, temas como la transformación de la biopolítica en psicopolítica se convierten en un punto muy relevante para el análisis de las sociedades actuales y sus derivas. Con este trasfondo de pensamiento, el presente artículo tiene por objetivo sumergirse en las argumentaciones de Han, explorando el papel crucial que desempeñan las emociones en las sociedades del rendimiento, del cansancio y de la infocracia, acudiendo a la metáfora de la “rueda del hámster” como imagen evocadora de las dinámicas de las sociedades actuales. De esta forma, se presenta una perspectiva innovadora de la complejidad del siglo XXI, al adentrarnos en determinados matices del pensamiento de Han, en conexión con la realidad palpable de las emociones, que actúan como el combustible que impulsa a cada individuo en su propia “rueda existencial”. Esta articulación con las experiencias emocionales contribuye de manera significativa a las discusiones contemporáneas acerca de la naturaleza humana en contextos de innovación tecnológica.

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. Platforms include zoom, video conferencing, TEAMS, and WhatsApp may be the first to undergo the transfer process. This strategic approach is recommended to effectively address technological hurdles, ultimately enhancing, and sustaining online teaching and learning practices.

ABSTRACT Digital culture constitutes a set of practices, customs and forms of social interaction that are carried out from the resources of digital technologies such as the internet (Borges, 2019). Digital culture has transformed the forms of communication, jobs and artistic expressions. In the culture sector, this technological revolution has opened up endless opportunities for local artists, allowing them to transcend borders and bring their art to global audiences. However, not all nations have the same technological advances, nor development of skills for the use of ICT by their artists and people related to the culture sector. At present, nations such as Cuba, Dominica, Martinique and Haiti are working together in order to develop a training and professional education program in Digital Culture adapted to the characteristics of the Caribbean region. This program is called the “CL.AU.DI.A. - Antillean Digital Culture: Young artists are trained and promote digital culture in the Caribbean”. This paper aims to describe the CL.AU.DI.A project and its contribution to the internationalization of the training of artists in digital culture issues in the Caribbean region. In the paper, the management of the project is exposed in eight steps from its design to the future actions to be developed with it.

Abstract Along with the rapid development of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, digital manufacturing, artificial intelligence, the Internet and other emerging fields marked by digitalization and intelligence are experiencing widespread penetration, cross-integration and constantly emerged crossover innovation. New technology development is a process of continuous increase of resource heterogeneity characterized by high fuzziness and uncertainty. However, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the development of emerging technologies only by the innovative resources and capabilities of the enterprises themselves. The limitation of innovation resources urges emerging technology enterprises to actively or passively exchange various innovation resources with other innovation subjects across organizational, technological or industry boundaries, and promotes the rapid rise of crossover innovation networks of emerging technologies, which has become an important way for emerging technology enterprises to avoid innovation risks and improve innovation efficiency. To explore the crossover innovation network of emerging technologies and its evolution path, this paper uses social network analysis to build the IPC co-occurrence network, patentee cooperative innovation network and patent citation network by stages by taking the invention patent data of self-driving car technology from 2006 to 2020 as samples, analyzes the subject cooperation, knowledge flow and technology convergence in the process of crossover innovation, explores the evolution process of crossover innovation network of emerging technologies and its characteristics in each stage, and then draws relevant enlightenment. transformation manufacturing penetration crossintegration cross integration uncertainty However themselves organizational boundaries efficiency path cooccurrence co occurrence selfdriving self driving 200 202 samples cooperation stage enlightenment 20 2

Abstract Technological advances have been developing in an accelerated way and algorithms are fundamental in this structure, contributing to its social formatting. From this context, the objective of this paper was to seek subsidies that boost reflections on the social implications of mathematics in the algorithm society, as well as on the social role of Mathematics Education in this scenario. The research is based on the perspective of Critical Mathematics Education and on the relationship between Science, Technology and Society, especially in the Civilizing Equation. Qualitative research was developed through propositional theoretical reflections and the data are presented in the parameters of Discursive Textual Analysis. Through online questionnaires, aimed at two social spheres, it was investigated what level of information individuals have about mathematical modulation and its possible social impacts. It is concluded that there is a lack of discussions about the imbrication between technology and mathematics as a basic tool in the construction of social models. Thus, it is proposed for the field of Mathematical Education an approximation with the Civilizing Equation. structure formatting context society scenario Science Society Equation Analysis questionnaires spheres impacts models Thus

Integrating the Coding & Robotics (C) subject in South African schools signifies the nation's commitment to Fourth Industrial Revolution preparedness. However, challenges like inadequate teacher preparation and limited technological infrastructure must be addressed to ensure equity. Although Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) may not address the infrastructural deficiencies directly, in this scoping review we examine its potential to complement existing resources and support teachers in delivering C instruction. Following Arksey and O'Malley's framework, we conducted a systematic literature search in numerous databases, followed by a screening procedure: 10 of the 61 eligible papers satisfied the inclusion criteria. Our findings reveal that GenAI can optimise C teacher development through personalised learning, content generation, feedback on teaching methods, and fostering collaboration with other teachers. Despite its potential, issues including equity, ethical concerns, technological fluency gaps, and overreliance on GenAI tools, must be navigated to enhance equitable C instruction and prepare learners for the digital era.
