Gaspard Théodore Mollien, Auguste Le Moyne, Élisée Reclus, Charles Saffray et Pierre d’Espagnat ont visité le territoire de l’actuelle Colombie au cours du xixe siècle. Les regards de ces voyageurs se sont posés avec insistance sur la nature fertile et exubérante du pays dans des perspectives différentes, suivant les buts de leurs voyages et leurs intérêts particuliers. Leurs récits témoignent ainsi d’une oscillation entre l’invitation au dévelop…
Las regulaciones de la calidad en la Educación Superior en Chile y su contribución al aseguramiento y mejoramiento de la calidad en la experiencia de una universidad estatal
El impacto de las regulaciones de la calidad en la Educación Superior no siempre se sustenta en evidencia objetiva. Este estudio analiza la incidencia de dichas regulaciones en el aseguramiento y mejoramiento de la calidad en universidades, a partir de los resultados de acreditación institucional de una universidad estatal chilena que incrementó linealmente su período de acreditación y que mostró paralelamente significativos cambios en indicadore…
Do Precipitation and Temperature Influence Perceptions of Urban Cleanliness
This study explores the correlation between weather and the perception of urban cleanliness across the 47 largest cities in Spain. Utilizing survey data conducted by the national Consumers and Users Organization (OCU) in 2015, 2019, and 2023 to assess cleanliness perceptions, we analyze potential associations with precipitation and temperature recorded by weather stations of the Spanish Meteorological Agency. Additionally, we consider computed va…
A semi-empirical risk panel to monitor epidemics
Introduction Bronchiolitis, mostly caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), and influenza among other respiratory infections, lead to seasonal saturation at healthcare centers in temperate areas. There is no gold standard to characterize the stages of epidemics, nor the risk of respiratory infections growing. We aimed to define a set of indicators to assess the risk level of respiratory viral epidemics, based on both incidence and their short…
Mathematical modeling of Sars-CoV-2 variant substitutions in European countries
Background Countries across Europe have faced similar evolutions of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern, including the Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variants. Materials and methods We used data from GISAID and applied a robust, automated mathematical substitution model to study the dynamics of COVID-19 variants in Europe over a period of more than 2 years, from late 2020 to early 2023. This model identifies variant substitution patterns and distinguishes …
Evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Tool and a Universal Low-Cost Robotized Microscope for the Automated Diagnosis of Malaria
The gold standard diagnosis for malaria is the microscopic visualization of blood smears to identify Plasmodium parasites, although it is an expert-dependent technique and could trigger diagnostic errors. Artificial intelligence (AI) tools based on digital image analysis were postulated as a suitable supportive alternative for automated malaria diagnosis. A diagnostic evaluation of the iMAGING AI-based system was conducted in the reference labora…

Risk Diagrams Based on Primary Care Electronic Medical Records and Linked Real-Time PCR Data to Monitor Local Covid-19 Outbreaks During the Summer 2020
Monitoring transmission is a prerequisite for containing COVID-19. We report on effective potential growth (EPG) as a novel measure for the early identification of local outbreaks based on primary care electronic medical records (EMR) and PCR-confirmed cases. Secondly, we studied whether increasing EPG precedes local hospital and intensive care (ICU) admissions and mortality. Population-based cohort including all Catalan citizens' PCR tests, hosp…
Monitoring and Analysis of Covid-19 Pandemic
The current worldwide pandemic produced by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed the paradigm of mathematical epidemiology due to the high number of unknowns of this new disease. Thus, the empirical approach has emerged as a robust tool to analyze the actual situation carried by the countries and also allows us to predict the incoming scenarios. In this paper, we propose three empirical indexes to estimate the state of the pandemic. The…
AI Ethics for Sustainable Development Goals
We live in an era where problems are global in scale (e.g., climate change) and solutions must also be coordinated on a global scale in the international context. The 2030 agenda for sustainable development goals (SDGs) was ratified in 2015 as a continuation of the millennium development goals (MDGs). In this sense, the SDGs, as MDGs were in their day, are a global mechanism that urges governments to coordinate to address global problems. At the …

Reconstruction of Caprine Management and Landscape Use Through Dental Microwear Analysis
This paper presents the results of a pilot study using dental microwear analysis on 23 sheep and goat teeth dated to the 6th century BC from the Iron Age site of El Turó Font de la Canya (Barcelona, Spain). This study aimed to reconstruct livestock management practices and landscape use. The dental microwear pattern indicates that sheep and goats could have been grazing in the same area where vegetation was composed of shrubs, bushes and non-gram…
A Return to the Philosophy of Praxis
I review The Philosophy of Praxis by Andrew Feenberg, firstly, presenting a critical yet sympathetic summary of Feenberg’s argument, developed via Marx, Lukács and Marcuse. Despite sharing Adorno’s and Marcuse’s dismissal of proletarian revolution, he finds aspects of Marx and particularly Lukács compelling. Upon this synthesis he builds his own philosophy. Secondly, I argue that Feenberg’s treatment of Lukács’s 1920s work is unparalleled and may…

Analysis of seasonal mobility of sheep in Iron Age Catalonia (north-eastern Spain) based on strontium and oxygen isotope analysis from tooth enamel
Embodying Autonomy in a Home Telecare Service
increasing ageing population. 2 Telecare, actually, has now turned into a technical solution broad enough to manage many different kinds of problems, from health problems to social problems, and is adaptable enough to take into account individual and very contextual necessities (see Koch, 2006), enabling elderly people to maintain their independent lifestyle as long as possible (see Milligan et al., 2006). Despite a wide variety of contexts of ap…
Analysis of seasonal mobility of sheep in Iron Age Catalonia (north-eastern Spain) based on strontium and oxygen isotope analysis from tooth enamel
Installing Telecare, Installing Users
This article reports on ethnographic research into the practical and ethical consequences of the implementation and use of telecare devices for older people living at home in Spain and the United Kingdom. Telecare services are said to allow the maintenance of their users' autonomy through connectedness, relieving the isolation from which many older people suffer amid rising demands for care. However, engaging with Science and Technology Studies (…
Dwelling the Telecare Home
Home has become a newly fostered place for care giving in what might be called an aging in place paradigm. As a result, thinking about how the home's spatialities are configured and how they might transform caring has become an important issue for the social sciences. This article is a contribution to this line of thought and looks at being-at-home from a non-anthropocentric point of view. By focusing on the telecare cases of an ongoing ethnograp…
On Inscriptions and Ex-Inscriptions
In this paper we explore from a topological perspective how immediate care is enacted in a home telecare service and critically discuss how immediacy is defined. One approach is to conceive immediate care delivering as dependant on how disciplined the home telecare service inscriptions are and therefore on how uneventful and smooth the assistance is. However, this paper aims to put forward a more complex explanation by pointing out that immediate…

Recovering Georg Lukács
I review Georg Lukács Reconsidered and Georg Lukács: The Fundamental Dissonance of Existence from a Lukácsian point of view, informed by a close reading of his works from the 1920s. The essays in these books, despite their heterogeneity, contribute towards revivifying Lukácsian Marxism, both philosophically and literarily. Specifically, many of the contributors criticise Honneth’s appropriation of the theory of reification, rejecting readings of …
