This article explores the ethical considerations surrounding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in academia. General ethical principles for AI in this field are established, such as transparency, fairness, accountability, privacy, and academic integrity. For AI-assisted education, the importance of accessibility, non-discrimination, and critical evaluation of results is emphasized. It is recommended that AI be used to complement and not replace traditional teaching. Regarding the scope of research, emphasis is placed on the need to ensure the quality and veracity of the data used, as well as transparency in methods and results. The possible biases and risks of AI in research must be considered. The article concludes that the responsible adoption of AI in academia requires critical reflection on its ethical implications. The creation of context-specific ethical frameworks and the involvement of diverse stakeholders in decision-making are recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, the procedure to obtain the mathematical model for a 2 KW DBI (Dual Buck Inverter) converter, which can be used in renewable energy applications, is described. In the same way, the operation modes of this inverter are described with the respective equations that model its behavior for each one of them and, with the activation signals of the MOSFETs present in the inverter, the switched model is created. The linearization procedure of the model at one operating point is shown, simulation results are recorded in Matlab®/Simulink™ using PID controller, making changes in both load and input DC voltage levels for the proposed model and for the inverter circuit, thus making use of discrete elements. The total harmonic distortion in the output voltage signal is less than 0.73%, complying with the IEEE 519 standard.} [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As technology continues to advance and integrate into our lives in ever more profound ways, it is critical to promote digital responsibility among individuals. Ethics in technology refers to the moral principles and values that should guide the development and use of technology. Promoting digital responsibility involves teaching people to use technology ethically and consciously. This involves fostering respect for online privacy and security, as well as an understanding of the risks and challenges associated with technology, such as cyberbullying and misinformation. Digital responsibility also involves encouraging responsible use of technology, avoiding addictive or harmful behaviors. This involves educating individuals about the appropriate balance between online and offline time, as well as fostering empathy and respect in online interactions. To promote digital responsibility, it is essential to integrate ethics and technology education into school curricula and vocational training. Governments, educational institutions and technology companies have an important role to play in promoting digital responsibility by implementing appropriate policies and educational programs.

Kangaroo-Mother Care (KMC) is a follow-up program for premature infants with comorbidities such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The objective was to characterize patients with BPD and describe their nutritional, neurological, and respiratory outcomes in a KMC. A retrospective cohort study of the KMC in a University Hospital between 2015-2018. Included patients with BPD and excluded major malformations. Nutritional, neurological, and respiratory outcomes were evaluated at 40 weeks, 6, and 12 months of corrected-age using scales recommended in Colombia. A descriptive analysis was carried out, the variables were compared according to the severity of BPD. The changes in the outcomes in patients with complete follow-up were evaluated. 490 patients were admitted in four years, 50 with BPD (10,2%); 58% with moderate-BPD, none with severe BPD. 46% were born at <29 weeks of gestationalage, 96% had low socioeconomic status and 90% and 90% of these submitted to mechanical ventilation. In the follow-up, height-for-age remained at risk at 6 and 12 months. 98% had abnormal Amiel-Tisson test. Around 75% had respiratory symptoms between 6 and 12 months and 33% had at least one hospital readmission. Patients with BPD in KMC have alterations in height-for-age, neurodevelopment, and respiratory system when complete the follow-up. Strategies for integrating KMC into the health system should be strengthened. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The beginning of COVID-19 had an impact on the entire world population. In the university context, a special situation arose; for students, university attendance constituted a formative reference complementary to that of their own family. Social interaction and learning associated with this type of environment quickly suffered a disruption marked by confinement and physical isolation. The new conditions of socialization infer a new perception and, therefore, a new way of seeing reality. This situation, which has extended for almost three years, has collided with traditional learning styles, appealing to self-management and selfregulation of the educational process, but also to resilience in the face of damage to health and a redefinition of the way of relating to other people, especially in a time of socialization associated with university youth.

BACKGROUND: Psoriasis can be an early manifestation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or be present at all stages of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). OBJECTIVE: To describe the demographic, clinical, dermatological, and histopathological characteristics of four patients with comorbidity of psoriasis and the infection with the HIV-AIDS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective case series. From 1976 to 2016, 1473 records from the Laboratorio de Dermatopatología at Universidad de Antioquia in Medellin, Colombia, were cases of psoriasis. Four cases were diagnosed in patients infected with HIV/AIDS. Medical records and histological plaques were reviewed. RESULTS: The cases were men, aged 27 to 48 years (mean 35.25 ± 8.99). Three of them had moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris and AIDS, three received highly active antiretroviral therapy, and showed a CD4+ T-cell count below 200 cells/µL. Skin biopsies displayed hyaline thickening of the wall of the small blood vessels, prominent endothelium, hypertrophic nerve fillets, and perivascular and perineural edemas. These findings are particular for the concomitance psoriasis-HIV/AIDS. CONCLUSIONS: All patients were adult men, and the psoriasis vulgaris occurred in a severe phase of the disease caused by the HIV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New languages, from immersion technology to which today's society has voluntarily submitted, need to be analyzed from the perspectives generated by new ways of relating. So it is not unusual to find several networks simultaneously connected in a common space; the criteria taken into account to include or invite partners to these common spaces, and that should respond to the tastes and interests of all, do not always result as it ought to be. The work of building relationships through online communication tools makes it possible to create networks, not only to build relationships, but to generate new knowledge through them. Networking experiences that identify efforts to create a peaceful society require specific attention and care so the construction achieved leaves out the vices that threaten the durability that everyone desires in their interpersonal relationships.

This paper presents the results of a research project for developing Rusty Roads, a videogame that simulates line follower robots in tridimensional, competitive environments. During the software development process, it was necessary to define the key physical factors that could affect the performance of the robot. A real robot was considered to define real parameters for the simulation, and to define discrete equations for simulating the robot in the Unity framework, comparing their accuracy with that of continuous, exact equations specifically developed for this study. This paper presents the process for obtaining and testing those equations, which were the foundations for the successful development of the simulation layer of the videogame and allowed the subsequent creation of its 3D visualization component.

Colombia is the most diverse Neotropical country of Gesneriaceae. Nevertheless, there are gaps in knowledge of the distribution patterns and ecology of this family because of their taxonomic complexity. A list of the Gesneriaceae of the Quindío department with data for habitat and altitudinal distribution is presented in this paper. The herbarium collections of the Herbario Nacional Colombiano (COL) and the Herbario de la Universidad del Quindío (HUQ) were reviewed and fieldwork was carried out between 2009 and 2014 in 70 localities of Quindío. Forty three species and 11 genera were found, with a larger representation of Columnea, Besleria and Kohleria genera; nine species were new records for the Quindío; three were endemic and five species are new to science. The greatest richness was found in the montane forest between 1800 and 2400 masl, mainly in forested areas and streams. The results of this work constitute a baseline to conduct research in ecology, conservation and ornamental potential of Gesneriaceae occurring in Quindío. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Optical recognition of handwritten numbers was worked by different methods, with satisfactory results. In this paper, we propose fuzzy systems with genetic algorithms, specifically memetic, to do this task. Results with this method are compared with neuronal network of semi-supervised learning, where we was used networks with radial base functions (RBF). To make the comparison, is possible observed that this kind of neuronal network offers advantages regarding error rates and time-to-results of the recognition system, compared with methods based in fuzzy systems.
