The article presents an interview with Dr. María José Frápolli, a philosopher and professor of logic and philosophy of science. Dr. Frápolli reflects on her career and her interest in understanding what kind of animal we are and how different philosophical positions help us understand ourselves. She also talks about her commitment to the cause of female philosophers and how the ethical evolution of feminisms is influencing the development of philosophy. The article highlights the importance of Dr. Frápolli's academic production in the fields of logic and semantics research. In this interview, Dr. María José Frápolli discusses the distinction between logic and calculations, stating that calculations are instruments for representing and evaluating inferences. She points out that classical logic calculations derive from Frege's proposal in Conceptography and are designed for the foundation of arithmetic. Additionally, she mentions that non-classical logics arise due to the need to represent inferences in different areas of discourse and that each proposal of non-classical logic can vary according to its purposes of representation and evaluation. Finally, she comments that it is possible to classify existing logics in different ways, but she does not see scientific or philosophical advantages in doing so. She also highlights Susan Haack's distinction between extensions and divergent logics, considering it intuitive and showing the complexity of inferential relationships between propositions. In this interview, Dr. María José Frápolli talks about the changes in research objectives in logic from the early 20th century to the present. She mentions that there has been a greater interest in representing semantic features of natural language and pragmatic aspects. She also highlights the development of computer theory and artificial intelligence. Regarding logical pluralism, Dr. Frápolli mentions that she would not bet on any particular calculation and that each one has its own presuppositions and purposes. Additionally, she points out that logic has not been very useful as an applied discipline in other scientific areas. The text presents an interview with Dr. María José Frápolli about the application of logic in different disciplines. It is mentioned that fuzzy logics and computer theory are exceptions in their application. Dr. Frápolli mentions that logic has a promising field of application in proof theory, computing, and artificial intelligence. The general usefulness of logic in the current world is also discussed, and its role in the development of critical thinking and reasoning is highlighted. As for branches of logic with promising applications, those related to programming languages and artificial intelligence are mentioned as the most prominent. [Extracted from the article]

Introduction: The platform economy has invaded social relations in every way. Products of the information revolution, artificial intelligence and big data, the platforms constitute a sign of the times that crosses and deepens the set of pre-existing mercantile relations while commodifying a series of activities that, until their arrival, were outside to data extractive logic. The consequences of this irruption for the world of work are multiple and profound. Objectives: Here we propose to analyze the control practices and working conditions at UBER, the company that constitutes a paradigm of the new work management logics through digital platforms. Methodology: The study is qualitative in nature, based on ten in-depth interviews with UBER drivers during the years 2019 and 2020, in which, among other dimensions, working conditions, control mechanisms and meanings of work were investigated. Likewise, periodic monitoring of two driver and passenger forums was carried out. Results: Throughout the writing, a multiplicity of daily practices developed by the Uber company to influence the behavior and control the activity of drivers is observed. The platform's capacity to algorithmically manage work in a massive and personalized way is verified, with significant effects on working conditions. Conclusions: The study concludes that, far from the situation of autonomy proposed from business narratives, uberized work supposes significant degrees of dependency, control and exploitation of the workforce. Likewise, it is observed that the irruption of the platforms supposes a new stage in the deepening and extension of the relative vulnerability of work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

After the global crisis of the recording industry, popular music has had to rethink itself to avoid perishing. Its alliance with transmedia business and—narrative—logic has been part of that transformation. Music video remains necessary for the multilateral and transmedia music promotion. Through these formats, users create and share content concerning the artist’s visual universe, making it viral and results exponentially. This supposes the first form of expansion of music video in its transformation into the logic of digital ecology in a post-television era. However, the music video has another aspect of growth with its extension through the visual album where each music track corresponds with a visual track; it uses mechanisms that unify the messages or references, for example, as repetitive visual motifs (thematic motifs, similar images, locations, or characters). The visual album allows another way of promoting record works: before, they were sold through two/three singles; now, an attempt is made to extend the life span of records, generating consolidated worlds of meaning. This imaginary is achieved with unity and diversity through rhetorical figures of repetition or quotes from other cultural texts, composing storytelling for music personae. Projects such as Beyoncé’s three visual albums (Beyoncé, 2013; Lemonade, 2016, and Black is King, 2020), Dirty Computer by Janelle Monaé, and El mal querer by Rosalía are examples of a new form of music albums, where the musical artist is resignified with these resources for a new concept of body and performance.

The article analyzes the educational policy of the New Mexican School (NEM) and the different interpretations it has generated. It emphasizes that educational policy goes beyond the implementation of normative documents and focuses on the complex process that goes beyond institutional and legal dimensions. Stephen Ball's work on the policy cycle is mentioned, and it is argued that educational policies are textual interventions in practice that seek to generate changes in the daily life of schools. It is mentioned that the NEM is the product of a constitutional reform of partisan agreement and that it maintains some continuity with the Educational Reform of 2013. The text analyzes the Educational Reform of 2019 in Mexico, highlighting that the intellectual production of this reform was carried out by educational experts and representatives of civil organizations linked to opposition parties. It is mentioned that the initiative of the opposition parties had more influence on the constitutional changes than the president's proposal. In addition, some normative controversies are discussed, such as the change in the concept of educational quality to excellence and the treatment of standardized tests. It is also mentioned that the new educational law was enacted in January 2019 and that there was inter-party agreement for its creation. The document mentions that the results of the PISA and PLANEA tests are strategic parameters for evaluating the fulfillment of educational objectives in Mexico. Despite the criticisms, the importance of these tests as mechanisms for producing information is recognized. The PISA test was carried out in the country with an application window from April 27 to May 31, and the results will be released this year. In addition, a strategic change in educational bureaucracy is mentioned with the departure of Esteban Moctezuma and the arrival of Delfina Gómez as head of the SEP. On the other hand, the article talks about the New Curricular Framework 2022 and its progressive and radical proposal, which has received criticism and accusations from conservative sectors. Despite financial and structural limitations, the Framework presents relevant elements in the approach to official knowledge in education. The article discusses the implementation of the Common Curricular Framework (MCC) in the Mexican teaching profession. Although there is still some confusion about its implementation, Indigenous Education teachers have received the proposal with pleasure and have organized themselves to make it operational for the benefit of the communities where they work. Educational policy entails a discourse that generates "truth" and "knowledge" and defines what can be said and thought in the educational field. The New Mexican School (NEM) has been proposed as an example of educational change and has permeated different layers of the educational system thanks to a dissemination campaign by the Federal Government. President AMLO has played a fundamental role in consolidating the discursive power of the NEM and has managed to maintain consensus among the different formations of the national teaching profession. In addition, the NEM seeks to overcome neoliberalism in education and revalue the teaching profession. The article analyzes the educational regulations of the 4T in Mexico and how criticism of neoliberalism has permeated the educational field. The figure of the official Arriaga and his rhetoric in favor of a different education that responds to the interests of the communities is highlighted. Although a discursive framework that criticizes neoliberalism has been constructed, neoliberal practices still persist in education. In addition, the revaluation of the teaching profession by the current government is mentioned, although concerns about union democracy and the labor regime of teachers persist. The influence of managerial logics in the digital transformation of education is also noted. The article analyzes the advance of Google culture in the educational field in Mexico and how this has led to [Extracted from the article]

Introduction: The text departs from a theoretical review in order to distinguish two specific dynamics involving the use of commercial tools by activists on the one hand, and the development of autonomous technologies driven by social movements themselves on the other. Objectives: The aim of this article is to define various logics of digital activism by engaging critically with several scholar contributions that, generally through a historical analysis, allow us to establish theoretical distinctions and recognize differentiated logics of action when it comes to determining how social movements actually use digital technology. In the paper, critical engagement with the literature is examined against our empirical findings to challenge pre-existing assumptions, as well as evolutionary approaches sometimes observed in some of these contributions. The text also makes a point of transcending closed historical stages. Conclusions: The article’s conclusions point towards a multidimensionality of factors (pragmatic-utilitarian, strategic-tactical and ideological/identity-related) regulating the ways in which social movement leverage technology.

Technological transformations and, especially, the accelerated process of digitalization have changed the profiles and production routines of the media. At the same time, universities have had to adapt their journalism curricula to new training needs. This paper analyzes the evolution of the technical-digital training of the journalism degree in Spain over the last two decades through a comparative study of three stages: before, during, and after the adaptation to the EHEA (2000-2010-2020). The research brings together, as valuable reference material, the curricular offerings of 112 programs and 242 subjects that show the educational evolution of the digital environment over the last 20 years, with a longitudinal and epistemological approach. The trends identified by this diagnostic work confirm, among other aspects, how the design of journalism curricula has evolved at a slow and asynchronous pace in digital training until the last decade and with disparate speeds between universities. Added to this is the conformation of a highly varied epistemological heritage that, beyond the specific names of the subjects, denotes a progressive commitment to digital and multimedia teaching, combining generic hybrid knowledge with more specialized training in terms of languages and formats.

The present as a philosophical category, expresses a behavioral character, which is assumed as an attitude (ethos) towards a digital world. This "ethos" configures a relationship between the human and the machine, builds bridges of opening (apertûs) that consolidates units of existential possibility through practices that manifest, not a digitization, but a digitiza-tion, that is, a praxis particular and unique that, in the digital framework, intends to intentionally understand the existential field of the human being in digital logics. This digitaliza-tion as a practice configures "the present" that in the digital framework constitutes a rationality, a kind of capacity that human beings have to analyze through a mental exercise the existential reality of themselves and of your environment.

Digital electronic circuits design requires that both exercises and practices be integrated to teaching processes. Most practices are executed over local areas, as specialized laboratory classrooms; however, online education has been strengthened and currently is possible to experiment from remote locations. Some main contributions about online laboratories made by research groups were described in this work; these were focused on digital electronic systems. A developed software tool to remote programming of digital logic functions was described too, which supports the Digital Systems teaching. This tool was designed for local or net-working, and allows users to interact with a tool set for configuring a Cyclone II Field-Programmable-Gate-Array on a DE2-70 development board.
