Applying KMoS-SSA as a knowledge management strategy and systemic approach for conceptualizing solutions
No full textThe cognitive era represents a transformation in which knowledge and intelligence, both human and artificial, drive innovation and development processes. In this context, cognitive ecosystems enable the integration of data, advanced technologies, and human skills for intelligent decision-making. These ecosystems define the domains in which decisions are made, and actions are taken to address problematic situations. However, conceptualizing and designing solutions for these complex ecosystems is challenging due to the multiplicity of factors, ambiguity, dynamism of the environment, and the vastly quantity of tacit knowledge. This article describes the application of the KMoS-SSA methodological framework to two real cases with characteristics of informally structured complex domains. The strategy is designed to guide the conceptualization and specification of solutions using knowledge management and systemic thinking. The objective of the article is to show how, through the KMoS-SSA methodological strategic framework, two significantly different challenging situations were able to develop desirable, viable, and effective solution proposals that addressed the needs of both domains
Self-applied artificial intelligence models for law compliance generation of digital works
No full textOne of the most important technological developments in the history of humanity is artificial intelligence. The evolution of this branch of computer science has led to the development of devices capable of replicating human cognitive processes related to a particular area of knowledge, which has allowed their adoption in various industries. In this sense, one of the most important applications of this technology is the creation of new material for the artistic sector. This represented a particularly complex environment for the regulatory framework specifically copyright. This research addresses this scenario from a novel perspective: while providing these devices with the ability to adapt their operation according to the legal status of the works to be processed, this approach complements their operation with elements contained in the digital scenario. For the above, a hypothetical-deductive and systemic-structural-functional methodology is used, which allows analyzing the role of technology, its impact from a socio-technological perspective and its adoption as a platform for the regulation of digital environments. Finally, a proposal will be presented where intelligent devices have the ability to adapt their operation according to the legal status of the operation to be carried out
¿Qué son las terapias térmicas y cuál es su efecto sobre las células cancerígenas?
No full textLas terapias térmicas son tratamientos médicos que emplean frío o calor para el tratamiento de padecimientos presentes en el cuerpo humano. En oncología, se utilizan diferentes fuentes externas de calor para generar un incremento de temperatura en el tumor y producir diferentes efectos biológicos que provocan la muerte de las células cancerígenas. Estas fuentes de calor externas producen un incremento de temperatura en el cuerpo de manera regional o local, dependiendo del tamaño del tumor a tratar. Las terapias térmicas se clasifican de acuerdo con la temperatura alcanzada en la región de tratamiento o tumor, como: crioterapia, hipertermia y ablación térmica. La crioterapia consiste en lograr temperaturas por debajo de los - 20°C, temperatura a la cual se empiezan a formar cristales intracelulares que ocasionan la necrosis del tejido. Por otro lado, la hipertermia busca alcanzar temperaturas entre 41°C- 45°C en el tumor, ocasionando muerte celular dependiendo de la duración del tratamiento. Además, aumenta la efectividad de la quimioterapia y la radioterapia al sensibilizar las células cancerosas, aumentando el flujo sanguíneo en la región tratada, mejorando la entrega de oxígeno y medicamentos al tumor. En cambio, la ablación térmica produce muerte celular inmediata en el tumor al alcanzar temperaturas entre 60°C-100°C en segundos. Entre sus ventajas se encuentran que es mínimamente invasiva, requiere menor tiempo de recuperación, precisión y focalización de la inducción del calor, así como el hecho de que es un tratamiento localizado que minimiza el daño a tejidos sanos circundantes. Sin embargo, si no se tiene un control adecuado, se pueden causar quemaduras en tejidos sanos circundantes al tumor. Es necesario hacer notar que en este trabajo nos referiremos particularmente a las terapias basadas en el incremento de temperatura
Gender and the city. Mobility of care in Ciudad Juárez
No full textThis research was conducted in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and addresses the mobility of care, an issue that directly involves the female gender and its relationship with urban space. The diverse and multiple trips that women make, without being paid, are mostly related to the care of their dependents such as family members, people with chronic degenerative diseases, people with disabilities, the elderly, among others. It discusses how women develop skills and abilities to dedicate time and effort to care for themselves and their dependents, which involves managing personal resources for the benefit of others. This article uses the results of a study conducted in 2019, in which an Origin-Destination Survey (ODS) was applied to a representative sample covering the entire city. Gender-related variables were considered to analyze daily mobility patterns at macro and micro levels. The categories of analysis included: household, sociodemographic characteristics, travel motives, means of transportation, and physical frictions. The results showed that women in this city experience daily hypermobility characterized by a greater number of trips, times, distances, costs, and accompaniment compared to men. In conclusion, the importance of women’s movements in this border region is evident, highlighting the need for more research in this area as well as the development of programs to redesign transportation and policies that guarantee inclusive mobility and a better quality of life, especially for women and vulnerable populations
Universal accessibility through design experience and participation in Tangamanga I Park, San Luis Potosí, Mexico
No full textSince 1970 significant progress has been made on the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWD) in public spaces, allowing them to lead an integrated life within the community and close to nature. Global environmental and social regulatory frameworks have adopted universal design as a foundation. While Mexican regulations also embrace it, barriers in the built and natural environments continue to challenge PWD’s equal access to public spaces. The main goal of this study is to identify and understand, through participatory design methods, the access levels to nature that the Tangamanga I Park offers to everyone, but specially to PWD. This article presents the research results and the participatory process evaluation undertaken in collaboration with a PWD organization and design students and academics. Within the collaboration, a workshop was held where individuals with diverse abilities identified inclusion challenges in Tangamanga I Park. Findings show that the park, located in San Luis Potosí and Mexico’s second-largest, presents multiple accessibility barriers for people with disabilities, particularly related to signage, infrastructure, and services. Visually impaired individuals expressed that the park is not prepared for them, and mothers of children with intellectual disabilities reported discrimination. This study highlights the importance of including PWD’s in enjoying green spaces, teaching inclusion in design fields, and valuing participatory processes to foster knowledge exchange
