During the coronavirus disease-19 pandemic, Fukushima marked the 10th anniversary of its nuclear disaster of 2011. And although pandemic scientists around the world used technological surveillance to predict risks, the experiences from the Fukushima health crisis call into question such technological solutionism. The Japanese government and electronic companies had placed nuclear workers under intensive health surveillance for decades, but the health data rarely helped workers to protect themselves. Rather, the government has often used the data to decline workers' claims for medical compensation. I call this contradictory consequence of data Protective Abandonment, the systematic disposal of people through the promise of protection. Data are collected through surveillance, for the purpose of risk management, but the information ends up protecting only the existing political economic systems. Crucially, data collection disguises protection and hides the unequal distribution of care. I argue that protective abandonment may become a common experience in today's data-driven societies.

Through the consultation and analysis of epidemiological data from Mexico collected during the years 2015-2021, the present study shows that the COVID-19 pandemic affected the registration of new cases of non-communicable diseases in recent years, causing a setback in the healthcare system efforts to maintain an epidemiological surveillance of diseases that impact the quality of life of Mexicans, as well as the country’s economy. Epidemiological surveillance is a fundamental practice for monitoring and controlling diseases that affect the world’s population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The past two decades saw a growing attention to the role of design for the geography of education and simultaneously shifted architectural attention towards the understanding of different forms of pedagogy. Yet, careful empirical engagements with the material architecture of contemporary school buildings and the experiences they mediate are still scarce or missing. Focussing on how mechanisms of control are imagined and practiced in the design and use of school buildings, this article fleshes out a picture of the performative spatial machinery of schools. It will do so drawing on designers' accounts, plans and visions for a Building Schools for the Future (BSF) building in Liverpool, UK and on accounts of the experiences of different school dwellers. Overcoming the dualist understanding of education as an activity that happens in objective frames of learning (the static architecture of the schools) or the subjective interpretations of users (the perception of teachers and students), we trace specific practices of 'dwelling' in the school building and identify architectural and designerly techniques for modulating control. Instead of dissipating or reducing control, or merely re-producing the classic forms of power, this versatile and porous type of architecture, we argue, multiplies and diversifies the forms of 'polycentric' control exercised through various intersecting lines of sight and sound.

This paper works towards a social geography of eating disorders through the lens of the coronavirus pandemic in the UK. Through an empirical engagement with experience-centred knowledge, I couple nine in-depth interviews with autoethnographic material, drawing out the spatial (real and virtual) and temporal (habit, routine, anticipation, non-linearity) dimensions of eating disorder experience, management and recovery; highlighting principally how pandemic lockdown conditions intensified space-time, mind/body and social relations across various micro-domestic and macro-governmental scales. I engage 'lightly' with Foucauldian concepts of disciplinary and biopolitical power to draw out broad-brush themes around matters of containment, control and surveillance; taking feminist inspiration to think through Foucault critically as I explore a nexus of gendered pandemic power relations. In doing so, I contribute towards new feminist understandings of the disciplinary gaze, emphasizing the ongoingness of surveillance through both physical body-checking and what I term psychological 'guising'. Through such (in)voluntary disordered bodily practices, and an engagement with the feminist mind/body dualism, I emphasize the complexity of EDs as embodied mental illnesses, further complicating feminist understandings of control. I close by discussing the ethical-methodological importance of 'empathy' while emphasizing the overall imperative of critical qualitative inquiry for socio-cultural geographies and beyond.

Introduction: Colorectal cancer is the third most prevalent cancer among both men and women with 80% of patients having localized disease enabling curative treatments. Given the low recurrence rate in early-stage disease, there is a growing interest in reviewing follow-up protocols. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency and timing of recurrence in early-stage colon cancer, as well as recurrence patterns. Methods: The data from all patients with colon adenocarcinoma consecutively treated with surgery at the Instituto Português de Oncologia do Porto, EPE, between January 2013 and December 2016, were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of 1,372 patients with colon cancer were submitted to surgery during the study period. From this group, 51.4% (n = 705) were early-stage colon cancers. Regarding the pathological stage, 3.5% were stage 0, 37.4% were stage I and 59.1% were stage II. The overall recurrence rate was 6.7%. When considering the group of patients without risk factors, the recurrence rate was 5.6%. The majority of recurrences occurred in the first 3 years of follow-up. The recurrence was diagnosed in the majority of patients through carcinoembryonic antigen elevation, followed by imaging exams. The presence of one or more risk factors (high nuclear grade, vascular invasion, extramural venous invasion, and perineural invasion) showed a statistically significant association with recurrence rate. Conclusion: The recurrence rate was low in early-stage colon cancer, with the majority of recurrences occurring in the first 3 years. Our study results show that surveillance should be tailored according to individual risk factors.

Amidst the scenario of digital surveillance and the treatment of personal data as a commodity, it is essential to raise issues related to the individuals' privacy, being a librarian's attribution to develop Privacy Literacy in academic environments. The general objective of the research is to present a panorama of content on Privacy Literacy developed from a sample of universities around the world, using the bibliographic and documental methods. From the bibliographic research it was found the discussion and orientation of library institutions regarding Privacy Literacy. In the documentary research with a sample of the 10 best positioned universities from each continent, 66 contents related to Privacy Literacy were identified, presenting the continent of Africa as the most representative in the content offerings. In the categorization of the contents it was identified that "Critical Thinking" is more present in the approaches, while only 5 of the total contents had the three categories, "Critical Thinking", "Technosolutionist" and "Legislative", in their approaches. It is suggested for future work the development of practices in Privacy Literacy applied in university libraries addressing the three topics, and the search for partnerships with areas that address the topic in the institutions themselves.

The EU Cyber Security Agency (carrying the acronym ENISA from its original name) is the main agency for the EU’s cyber security programme. ENISA was initially created as an advisory body rather than as a monitoring agency and its unique approach reflects the EU’s shift towards a more regulatory approach to cyber security problem-solving. This study explores the role of ENISA in governance and presents the complex concept of observational memory “observation” from a critical perspective. ENISA’s monitoring approach has allowed it to become a new form of management, with a model reminiscent of vision. This perspective has had a significant impact on the development of the EU cyber security regime and has challenged the traditional understanding of ENISA as an advisory body on cyber security issues. As the Agency debates the balance between government and regulation, it continues to re-evaluate its role in the evolving cyber security landscape, forcing reflection on its success and events that shed light on cyber security issues. SOBRE LA LEGISLACIÓN, LA LABOR Y EL FUNCIONAMIENTO DE LA AGENCIA DE LA UE PARA LA CIBERSEGURIDAD La Agencia de Ciberseguridad de la UE (conocida por su acrónimo en inglés, ENISA) es la principal agencia del programa de ciberseguridad de la Unión Europea (en adelante, UE). ENISA se creó inicialmente como un organismo asesor más que como una agencia de supervisión y su enfoque único refleja el cambio de la UE hacia un enfoque más regulatorio para la resolución de problemas de ciberseguridad. Este estudio explora el papel de ENISA en la gobernanza y presenta el concepto complejo de la memoria observacional “observación” desde una perspectiva crítica. El enfoque de supervisión de la ENISA le ha permitido convertirse en un nuevo modelo de gestión que recuerda a la visión. Esta perspectiva ha tenido un impacto significativo en el desarrollo del régimen de ciberseguridad de la UE y ha desafiado la comprensión tradicional de ENISA como un organismo asesor sobre cuestiones de ciberseguridad. Mientras la Agencia debate el equilibrio entre gobierno y regulación, continúa reevaluando su papel en el cambiante panorama de la ciberseguridad, lo que obliga a reflexionar sobre su éxito y los eventos que arrojan luz sobre las cuestiones de ciberseguridad. SUR LA LÉGISLATION, LE TRAVAIL ET LE FONCTIONNEMENT DE L’AGENCE DE L’UE POUR LA CYBERSÉCURITÉ L’Agence européenne de cybersécurité (connue sous son acronyme en anglais, ENISA) est l’agence chef de file du programme de cybersécurité de l’UE. L’ENISA a été initialement créée comme un organisme consultatif plutôt que comme une agence de surveillance et son approche unique reflète l’évolution de l’UE vers une approche plus réglementaire pour résoudre les problèmes de cybersécurité. Cette étude explore le rôle de l’ENISA dans la gouvernance et présente le concept complexe d’“observation” de la mémoire observationnelle dans une perspective critique. L’approche de surveillance de l’ENISA lui a permis de devenir un nouveau modèle de gestion qui rappelle la vision. Cette perspective a eu un impact significatif sur le développement du régime de cybersécurité de l’UE et a remis en question la conception traditionnelle de l’ENISA en tant qu’organisme consultatif sur les questions de cybersécurité. Alors que l’Agence débat de l’équilibre entre gouvernance et réglementation, elle continue de réévaluer son rôle dans le paysage changeant de la cybersécurité, obligeant à réfléchir à son succès et aux événements qui mettent en lumière les enjeux de cybersécurité.

Objective. Estimate the Zika prevalence in a dengueendemic municipality in Mexico, after the outbreak of 2015 to 2017. Materials and methods. Three serosurveys were conducted in Tapachula, Chiapas, in September 2018, March 2019 and November 2019. A commercial ZIKV and DENV anti-NS1 IgG ELISA were used to estimate each prevalence, their performance and adjustment of the cut-off value were compared with an in-house DENVs and ZIKV anti-EDIII IgG ELISA and the microneutralization test. Results. The anti-NS1 ZIKV titers decreased over time, causing that Zika prevalence decreased from 78.02 to 45.22%, while anti-NS1 DENV titers increased, and the prevalence remained above 95% over a two-year period. Conclusion. Optimal Zikaprevalence estimates can be obtained in a two-years period after outbreaks in dengue-endemic areas. The extension of the Zika outbreak is significantly higher than previously reported in Tapachula, highlighting the underreport of cases based on the routine flavivirus surveillance system in Mexico.

This article sets out to decipher some of the keys to the relationship between citizens and the new Francoist state in a territory of apparent unconditional adherence, like it was Valladolid. Following the German Alltagsgeschichte, hunger, the high cost of living and the political situation, influenced people's search for their own space outside the official discourse. The effective repression and the network of social support existing in a territory considered "afecto", did not invalidate the existence of a wide range of nuances in the attitudes of the so-called "ordinary people".

Why is animation such a central aesthetic in today's epistemic environment and when did viewers begin to accept animation's veracity, despite looking nothing like photorealism or anything one would witness directly? This article explores the techno-cultural reasons for the rise of animated non-fiction in the last 15 years. The article covers animated non-fiction's relation to image production technologies and image manipulation; documentary and surveillance culture; the information age and big data; machine vision, machine perception and AI; and finally, the virtualization of culture.

Aujeszky's Disease (AD) is a highly infectious swine disease caused by Suid herpesvirus 1 (SuHV 1). The present study evaluated the biosafety of commercial swine farms and carried out the first serological survey for Aujeszky's Disease in Espírito Santo State, Brazil. A total of 55 farms in 27 municipalities of the state were selected, where 416 swine serum samples were collected to be submitted to serological diagnosis for AD. Finally, a survey was carried out using a questionnaire to obtain information on the biosecurity of the farms. The results by the ELISA technique indicated the absence of antibodies for AD. Regarding the biosecurity of the farms, 56.4% of the farms did not meet the requirement of internal isolation, 67.3% did not have changing rooms, 72.7% did not provide specific clothing for employees and visitors, 85.5% did not require visitors bathe to access the sheds and only 10.9% of the farms controlled the flow of visitors and vehicles accessing the property. Another noteworthy factor is that only 25.5% of the farms had an area to quarantine replacement animals and 69.1% had an access ramp located close to the animal pens. With the results, it was concluded that there is a need to improve biosecurity measures on commercial farms in the state of Espírito Santo and that there was no presence of Aujeszky's Disease in the evaluated animals.

In an era where Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become crucial in military surveillance and operations, the need for real-time and accurate UAV recognition is increasingly critical. The widespread use of UAVs presents various security threats, requiring systems that can differentiate between UAVs and benign objects, such as birds. This study conducts a comparative analysis of advanced machine learning models to address the challenge of aerial classification in diverse environmental conditions without system redesign. Large datasets were used to train and validate models, including Neural Networks, Support Vector Machines, ensemble methods, and Random Forest Gradient Boosting Machines. These models were evaluated based on accuracy and computational efficiency, key factors for real-time application. The results indicate that Neural Networks provide the best performance, demonstrating high accuracy in distinguishing UAVs from birds. The findings emphasize that Neural Networks have significant potential to enhance operational security and improve the allocation of defense resources. Overall, this research highlights the effectiveness of machine learning in real time UAV recognition and advocates for the integration of Neural Networks into military defense systems to strengthen decision-making and security operations. Regular updates to these models are recommended to keep pace with advancements in UAV technology, including more agile and stealthier designs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The growing cancer burden particularly among less developed countries requires local data to plan and evaluate cancer control measures. This article describes the development of a population-based cancer registry network (PBCRN) in Mexico that took place between 2017 and 2020 and present related data. The PBCRN, led by the National Cancer Institute (Incan), included nine registries representing 11.3% of the Mexican population. Definitions, coding, and operative processes were based on international standards. All cities were visited to set up local structure; personnel were hired by Incan and trained in basic cancer registration in Merida. A specific software was developed. Regular virtual meetings took place for data verification and quality control. Data collection included institutions of the public and private health system. Personnel included 34 registrars, nine local leaders, and 12 staff members at the Incan. A total of 13 517 cases were recorded between 2017-2020, 64% percent of them were among females. Breast cancer was the more frequent malignancy (23.3%), followed by digestive organs with (18.4%) and female genital cancers (13.5%). Childhood (0-14 years) and adolescents cancer represented 4.4% of the total new cancer cases. The network was suspended in 2020. The present effort lacked sustainability and data were only partial. However, the experience provides valuable insights to be considered for the renewed cancer registration efforts that are currently ongoing in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Millions of individuals in the United States without a computer or broadband at their residence must rely on public libraries for their Internet access. Drawing on a rich data set of interviews and participant observation at three public libraries, we explore how individuals navigate these complex settings and how they profoundly shape their digital lives and experiences, one we characterize as digital home-lessness. In this article, we identify three themes that characterize the relationship between library computer use and digital home-lessness: lifeline encompasses the diverse set of activities that require computer and broadband access; negotiating access focuses on usability, privacy, and security disadvantages among these users; and risky business concentrates on the multiplicities of insecure Internet and computing practices exacerbated by low technological capital. Our findings push forward literature on the digital divide by illuminating how the experience of digital home-lessness limits social inclusion and reproduces socioeconomic inequality.

This is a piece of writing that may cause some unease. On the other hand, it is an opportunity for reflection. The central objective is to propose a discussion of the fat body from the perspective of Geography, addressing issues related to the fat body, analyzing, and reflecting on the various spaces and how they end up disciplining our bodies. They might operate through the lens of health, the media, or cyberspace as a whole. This article dedicates to revealing the problems of these spaces and how they end up affecting the daily lives of fat bodies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The characterization of Zika outbreaks is of great importance to determine the individual and collective risk factors involved in their occurrence and is the basis for the development of effective strategies for surveillance, prevention and control of Zika transmission. Objective: To describe epidemiologically the main characteristics of the first epidemic outbreak of Zika recorded in Panama, in the Guna Yala region. Materials and methods: A descriptive and retrospective study of the first Zika outbreak that occurred between 27 November 2015 and 22 January 2016 in Guna Yala, Panama, was designed and conducted. Results: A total of 68 serum samples were collected from suspected patients, 38 samples were positive by PCR for Zika in the Guna Yala Comarca, Ustupo registered the highest number of cases (n = 29, 76.3%), (n = 43; 86%) of the cases were younger than 59 years, (n = 37; 74%) of the cases were economically active population (14 to 65 years of age) and (n = 30; 60%) of the cases were female. Conclusion: This study has shown the ease with which arboviral diseases such as Zika can be introduced, spread and have an impact on the public health of the population, the health system and become established in the regions where these health events occur. Further studies strengthened epidemiological surveillance and consideration of risk factors are needed to ensure the sustainability of health interventions and to reduce the social and economic impact of this arbovirosis.

This article delves into the everyday dynamics of colonial rule to outline a novel way of understanding colonized–colonizer interactions. It conceives colonial management as a social field in which both the colonized and colonizers negotiate and exchange resources, despite their decidedly unequal positions within a racial hierarchy. Drawing their example from the West Bank, the authors argue that a Palestinian economic elite has proactively participated in the co-production of the colonial management of spatial mobility, a central component of Israeli colonial rule. The study employs interviews and document analysis to investigate how the nexus between Palestine's commercial-logistical needs and Israel's security complex induced large-scale Palestinian producers to exert agency and reorder commercial mobility. The authors describe and explain the evolution of a 'Door-to-Door' logistical arrangement, in which large-scale Palestinian traders participate in extending Israeli's system of spatial control in exchange for facilitating logistical mobility. This horizontal social encounter that entails pay-offs is conditioned, but not fully determined, by vertical relations of domination and subordination. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of canines is recurrent in both public security and private security services. In Colombia, the certification of canines for private security use is carried out by the National Police. This article shows the behaviour of variables of specialty, sex and breed of 1,949 dogs owned by 56 private security companies that underwent the certification process by the National Police during the last quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. The study is a descriptive analysis of the administrative records of the School of Guides and Canine Training, belonging to the Police Education Directorate, according to the Evaluation Form for Canine Certification of Private Security and Surveillance Companies. Thus, according to the specialty, 36% of the dogs are used for controlled defense, 41.5% for explosives detection and 22.5% for narcotics detection; as regards sex, 63.2% are males and 36.8% are females; and with respect to breed, 26.6% are Labrador retrievers, 20% are Rottweilers, 18.8% are Golden Retrievers, 18% are German Shepherds and 13.6% are Belgian Malinois Shepherds. Thus, private security organisations include among their services the use of canines and to meet the demand they have selected certain breeds to perform in scenarios that represent vulnerability to security on account of criminal manifestations.

The digital transformation of society has given rise to two opposing currents in their interpretation of the relationship between technology and democracy. On the one hand, companies and institutions gather and process increasing amounts of information on citizens to optimise decision-making. On the other, civil society finds in digital technologies a tool for power monitoring and citizen complaint. In this article we analyse these two approaches, which draw from different democratic traditions and pursue distinct objectives, which we call surveillance democracy and monitory democracy. We do so by paying attention to both their procedural dimension, relating to the characteristics and limitations of the processes and methods proposed, and their substantive dimension, concerning their principles and theoretical foundations. Finally, we put forward proposals aimed at moving towards a fair technological development that contributes to strengthening and deepening democratic systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The capitalist accumulation requires technological revolution, legal regulation of the workforce, territorialized habits, commodification of nature and life, sociotechnical fluidity of territories and places in the socio-spatial division of labor and control of the individual and society. In this article, the objective is to observe the political geography of neoliberal accumulation by spoliation of corporations Big Tech through the surveillance of life experience for the purpose of grabbing personal and collective data. The methodology is based on the rescue of bibliography about the techno-informational revolution in times of neoliberalism and social networks. The conclusion reached is the use of social networks as a sociotechnical-informational instrument to control individuals through faith in progress and in voluntary servitude for the Big Tech capital accumulation schemes through the spoliation of life experience in cyberspace.

This article examines the interactions between the public and private sectors in the process of increasingly endowing the Brazilian penal system with security technologies in the wake of a series of prison rebellions led by the "criminal group" Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC). By discussing the discourses and rationales mobilized by politicians, legislators and businessmen within the scope of the Congressional Inquiry of the prison system established in 2008, the article shows that the growing presence of private capital into the Brazilian criminal justice system activates the technical and discursive connections between cost-effective surveillance and violent repression as the main strategies for prison management in the country.

This article aims to analyze how the idea of the panopticon thought by Jeremy Bentham (2008) is present in today's society. The intention is to evaluate how the Brazilian legal system has protected the right to informative self-determination in the face of new forms of panoptism. For this, the hypothetical-deductive method and the bibliographical methodology were used, carried out by researching articles, books and legislation on the subject, collected from databases, especially EBSCOhost. At the end of the research, it was found that the protection and effectiveness of informative self-determination needs a specific treatment beyond the sphere of protection of the right to privacy and intimacy, from which it is concluded that it should be recognized as a right of personality.

Objective. Systematize the experience and identify challenges and lessons learned in the implementation of an initiative for integrated serosurveillance of communicable diseases using a multiplex bead assay in countries of the Americas. Methods. Documents produced in the initiative were compiled and reviewed. These included concept notes, internal working papers, regional meetings reports, and survey protocols from the three participating countries (Mexico, Paraguay, and Brazil) and two additional countries (Guyana and Guatemala) where serology for several communicable diseases was included in neglected tropical diseases surveys. Information was extracted and summarized to describe the experience and the most relevant challenges and lessons learned. Results. Implementing integrated serosurveys requires interprogrammatic and interdisciplinary work teams for the design of survey protocols to respond to key programmatic questions aligned to the needs of the countries. Valid laboratory results are critical and rely on the standardized installment and roll-out of laboratory techniques. Field teams require adequate training and supervision to properly implement survey procedures. The analysis and interpretation of serosurveys results should be antigen-specific, contextualizing the responses for each disease, and triangulated with programmatic and epidemiological data for making decisions tailored to specific population socioeconomic and ecologic contexts. Conclusions. Integrated serosurveillance as a complementary tool for functional epidemiological surveillance systems is feasible to use and key components should be considered: political engagement, technical engagement, and integrated planning. Aspects such as designing the protocol, selecting target populations and diseases, laboratory capacities, anticipating the capacities to analyze and interpret complex data, and how to use it are key.

The study of the theoretical foundations allows delving into the processes associated with assistance in progressive care. The objective of this research is to analyze the theoretical references for the design of a surveillance system for adverse events in intensive care units. For this purpose, a bibliographic review was carried out, from the referent, advanced for its time, by Florence Nightingale; going through the theoretical assumptions of Madeleine Leininger; to the connection with Reason's Swiss Cheese model and Ludwig Von Bertalanffy's general systems theory. The integration of these theories was of great value for the approach of a scientifically based surveillance system, applicable with a view to achieving other products that are later supported in practice.
