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.

En un contexto marcado por la vigilancia digital y el tratamiento de los datos personales como un bien, es fundamental abordar los temas relacionados con la privacidad de los individuos. En este sentido, los bibliotecarios tienen la responsabilidad de desarrollar la alfabetización en privacidad en los entornos académicos. El objetivo general de la investigación fue presentar un panorama del contenido sobre alfabetización en privacidad desarrollado a partir de una muestra de universidades de todo el mundo, utilizando los métodos bibliográfico y documental. La investigación bibliográfica reveló la discusión y la orientación de las instituciones bibliotecarias con respecto a la alfabetización en privacidad. En la investigación documental, con una muestra de las 10 mejores universidades de cada continente, se identificaron 66 contenidos relacionados con la alfabetización en privacidad, presentando al continente africano como el más representativo en la oferta de contenidos. En la categorización de los contenidos, se identificó que el pensamiento crítico está más presente en los enfoques, mientras que solo cinco de los contenidos totales incluían las tres categorías: pensamiento crítico, tecnosolucionista y legislativo en sus enfoques. Se sugiere para futuros trabajos el desarrollo de prácticas en alfabetización en privacidad aplicadas en bibliotecas universitarias, abordando los tres temas mencionados, y la búsqueda de alianzas con áreas que abordan el tema en las propias instituciones.

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.

A leishmaniose visceral (LV) é uma doença causada pelo protozoário Leishmania infantum, sendo considerado o cão (Canis familiaris) como principal reservatório da doença no meio urbano. A doença é endêmica no estado do Piauí e há uma tendência crescente em algumas regiões do estado. A detecção de novas áreas com ocorrência de LV canina é o marco para iniciar a investigação, vigilância e monitoramento epidemiológico. Objetivou-se avaliar a soroprevalência de Leishmania infantum em cães do município de Domingos Mourão, Piauí, e relatar os sinais clínicos sugestivos da doença. Foram coletadas amostras de sangue para obtenção de soro de 231 cães, das quais 174 da zona rural e 57 da zona urbana, tendo sido todos os animais submetidos à avaliação clínica para registro dos sinais clínicos sugestivos de leishmaniose canina. As amostras de soro foram submetidas ao Teste Rápido Dual Path Platform (TR DPP®, Biomanguinhos) para triagem e posteriormente as amostras foram submetidas ao ensaio imunoenzimático (ELISA®, Biomanguinhos). Os sinais clínicos mais comumente observados foram onicogrifose (93,10%), aumento dos linfonodos poplíteos (75,86%) e emagrecimento (27,58%). Das amostras analisadas, 12,56% (29/231) foram reagentes, 82,68% (191/231) não reagentes e 4,76% (11/231) indeterminadas. Na zona urbana, 12,28% (7/57) foram reagentes, 85,97% (49/57) não reagentes e 1,75% (1/57) indeterminadas. Na zona rural, 12,64% (22/174) foram reagentes, 81,61% (142/174) não reagentes e 5,75% (10/174) indeterminadas, confirmando a presença de anticorpos anti-Leishmania infantum circulantes em cães no município através do método ELISA e alertando para implementação de ações de vigilância e controle, no sentido de evitar a dispersão da doença e a ocorrência de casos humanos.

Oreochromis spp., conocida como tilapia, es un recurso hidrobiológico destacado por su facilidad de cultivo. En el Perú, es una de las especies más producidas, especialmente en regiones como San Martín. La bioseguridad en la acuicultura es clave para reducir el ingreso de patógenos, ya que minimiza infecciones y enfermedades en los cultivos. A partir de información pública, se solicitó al Organismo Nacional de Sanidad Pesquera (Sanipes) las encuestas epidemiológicas relacionadas con la tilapia. Entre las recomendaciones derivadas del estudio se incluyen: 1) fortalecer la capacitación en bioseguridad para los productores de tilapia, 2) crear una herramienta digital para emitir alertas tempranas a la autoridad sanitaria, 3) establecer incentivos para el cumplimiento de los protocolos, y 4) fortalecer la implementación de protocolos sanitarios y mejorar la vigilancia epidemiológica en los centros de producción a través de un análisis de riesgo.

Este texto trata do ecossistema de privacidade e proteção de dados brasileiro. Debate a necessidade de ponderação de direitos fundamentais por parte do Estado quando do emprego de tecnologia, notadamente algoritmos em que são empregadas técnicas de aprendizado de máquina, em vigilância para execução de políticas relacionadas à segurança pública. Por fim, analisa os riscos e desafios relacionadas ao uso de algoritmos de forma inclusiva e não discriminatória.

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.

Este artículo busca analizar la actuación de la agencia Forensic Architecture y comprender cómo la arquitectura puede ser una herramienta importante para la lectura de los eventos contemporáneos, y cómo esta práctica se inserta en el territorio latinoamericano. Para lograrlo, se presenta el marco teórico desde el cual el grupo se forma, respaldado por la tesis del nevoeiro (‘niebla’) de Guilherme Wisnik y la cuestión de la verdad, la imagen y la vigilancia en la contemporaneidad. A través de un análisis teórico y estudio de casos, se busca definir la arquitectura forense como una metodología capaz de navegar a través de la niebla contemporánea y tener una acción efectiva mediante la creación de una nueva epistemología que conecta diversas áreas de conocimiento para combatir la violencia de Estado. Finalmente, se examinan los nuevos lenguajes de la arquitectura forense en América Latina, con la apertura de nuevas agencias que sitúan la práctica desde otras necesidades y perspectivas.

In this article we will analyze the historical conditions of the processes of subjectivity in Neiva during its foundation in the seventeenth century based on colonial discourses in whose games of truth they were constituted. The objective is to examine how these games of truth were shaped through which the subjects related to knowledge, what rules controlled this game and how they functioned in it. This implies that understanding modernity traversed by coloniality requires a critical analysis of the different regimes that have historically operated within it. That is to say, to think of a set of norms or rules that, imbricated with discourses and practices of subjectivation, have functioned in history in different ways in an attempt to unify the differences of the subjects under the same paradigm.

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.

Collaboration is a widely employed strategy for addressing "wicked" policy problems. While scholars have long recognized that the organizational composition of collaborative forums can have a dramatic impact on the efficacy and equity of associated forum outputs, little is known about whether such composition impacts the manner in which everyday citizens perceive forum processes and/or participating organizations. In this article, we bridge and extend concepts from the collaborative governance and representative bureaucracy literatures, arguing that when forums attract sufficient membership from organizations that citizens perceive as reflective of their own or their community's interests—what we refer to as "forum representation"—those citizens will have more positive perceptions toward all participating organizations. Conversely, failing to achieve sufficient representation can result in degraded perceptions. While there are theoretically multiple ways to increase forum representation, we focus on one potential pathway: the inclusion of civil society organizations in policy‐making processes. Empirically, we assess whether heightened representation of civil society groups within a specific collaborative policing forum impacts citizens' perceptions of the main participating agency—the police department—finding that greater knowledge of this highly representative forum results in positive spillover effects.

A presente pesquisa visa analisar se a legislação vigente trata do emprego de drones voltados para a utilização na segurança pública, e se este uso indiscriminado pode ferir a privacidade e intimidade dos cidadãos enquanto direitos fundamentais da personalidade. Assim, busca-se desvendar a utilização desta ferramenta nas mãos do poder estatal, investigando as regulamentações existentes e avaliar o impacto dessas tecnologias nos direitos individuais. Procurou-se demonstrar que a vida privada se encontra ameaçada pelo uso dessa tecnologia no dia-a-dia das polícias em suas atividades de prevenção de crimes em nome de um “bem maior”, que é a coletividade. Para o êxito desta foi utilizada a metodologia hipotético-dedutiva por meio do método teórico-bibliográfico, com coletas de dados realizados em sites de busca acadêmica, bibliotecas, legislações vigentes e revistas científicas que abordam a temática. Os resultados obtidos circulam na violação dos direitos da personalidade diante da privacidade e intimidade, a qual é ultrajada com o uso indiscriminado de tecnologias de grande alcance e de difícil limitação de um filtro de vigilância, na qual em nome da coletividade fere-se a esfera mais individual da vida humana.

RESUMO Este artigo discute as imbricações do contexto tecnológico contemporâneo com o consumo e a comunicação publicitária no cenário brasileiro. Para isso, partimos de uma revisão teórica sobre a expansão acelerada da tecnologia digital, que, se, por um lado, trouxe, inicialmente, promessas democráticas e inclusivas, com o amplo acesso e compartilhamento de informações; por outro, ao longo do tempo, provocou efeitos nocivos, sobretudo em âmbito social, político e ideológico. O consumo insere-se nessa discussão de forma central, já que a posse e a manipulação de dados e algoritmos ocorrem por poucas e poderosas empresas privadas globais, que têm seu modelo econômico baseado na publicidade. Finalmente, apresentaremos ações mercadológicas que exemplificam a posição periférica dos consumidores-cidadãos do país neste debate.

Este trabalho oferece um panorama sobre tendências, benefícios e limitações a respeito do potencial emprego de tecnologias de reconhecimento biométrico comportamental como incremento do combate ao crime, seja em relação as atividades delitivas mediadas por tecnologia da informação, seja no monitoramento de pessoas em ambientes públicos e privados. A título de marco teórico (lugar da fala) considera-se a “Criminologia Crítica” por ser a ciência que procura explicar a operacionalidade e as reais funções do sistema penal, o que pode oferecer elementos para balizar o emprego de tecnologias de informação no campo. Realizado a partir de revisão bibliográfica, o trabalho encontra-se estruturado em três unidades. A primeira explora aspectos a respeito da corporeidade como dimensão expressiva da personalidade individual. Na segunda parte abordam-se aspectos técnicos gerais sobre a biometria comportamental. Por fim, a terceira unidade propõe reflexões a respeito do emprego dessa tecnologia para fins de vigilância no sistema penal.

¿Por qué es la animación una estética tan pivotal en el entorno epistémico actual y cuándo comenzaron los espectadores a aceptar la veracidad de la animación, a pesar de no parecerse en nada al fotorrealismo ni a nada que uno pudiera presenciar directamente? Este artículo explora las razones tecnoculturales del auge de la no ficción animada en los últimos 15 años. El artículo cubre la relación de la no ficción animada con las tecnologías de producción de imágenes y la manipulación de imágenes; cultura documental y de vigilancia; la era de la información y los big data; visión artificial, percepción artificial e inteligencia artificial; y finalmente, la virtualización de la cultura.

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.

Este artículo reflexiona críticamente sobre el uso de cámaras de red como tecnologías de vigilancia en el contexto de las actuales sociedades de control. El análisis se desarrolla a través de la práctica de observación y recopilación de imágenes provenientes de dispositivos de vigilancia que se transmiten en línea de forma desprotegida. Si estas cámaras no se aseguran debidamente, pueden ser vistas e incluso operadas en forma remota por cualquier persona o robot que esté conectado a Internet. De allí que sus transmisiones puedan ser objeto de usos no previstos e intervenciones anónimas de diversa índole. El trabajo dialoga con estudios clásicos y contemporáneos sobre el tema e indaga el funcionamiento técnico de estos dispositivos, su relación con las prácticas de vigilancia y los discursos de seguridad contemporáneos, su exposición en Internet y el potencial político derivado de los riesgos que promueve su vulnerabilidad.

Antecedentes: El dengue es una arbovirosis de alta prevalencia, con gran impacto epidemiológico, social y económico a nivel mundial. En Cali, esta enfermedad presenta un comportamiento asincrónico. El Corregimiento La Buitrera, área rural de Cali, notifica regularmente casos de dengue, sin embargo, durante 2022 un incremento inusual de casos que conllevó a la Secretaría Distrital de Salud de Cali a realizar acciones articuladas para contener el brote. Objetivo: Describir las acciones de manejo integral que permitieron contener un brote de dengue en el contexto de pandemia COVID-19. Métodos: Se realizó revisión activa de la notificación de casos de dengue, dengue grave y muerte por dengue en SIVIGILA. Se evaluó y acompañó la gestión realizada en cinco instituciones donde fueron atendidos usuarios del Corregimiento y se ejecutaron actividades de manejo integrado del vector. Resultados: Se detectaron 16 casos de dengue en el Corregimiento La Buitrera. El porcentaje de casos de dengue notificados para 2022 (2.58%) superó los porcentajes de años epidémicos (2016 y 2020) en Santiago de Cali. 47.75% de los casos correspondieron a DENV-2. 15.9% de las viviendas y 25% de las concentraciones humanas inspeccionadas tuvieron al menos un criadero de Aedes. aegypti. La principal dificultad en las IPS evaluadas fue la adherencia a las guías y protocolos de manejo en enfermedades trasmitidas por vectores. Conclusión: Las acciones articuladas y oportunas de la Secretaría de Salud Pública Distrital influyeron notablemente en la contención del brote, lo cual puede servir de modelo frente a futuras situaciones epidemiológicas.

Este artigo explora sucintamente o conceito de panoptismo de Michel Foucault e analisa os efeitos positivos e negativos da vigilância constante. As ideias de Foucault sobre a vigilância como mecanismo disciplinador e os efeitos psicológicos da sensação de estar sendo observado. Destaca-se que a vigilância constante pode gerar obediência, autovigilância, estresse, ansiedade e sensação de opressão. Aborda-se o uso controverso de câmeras no tráfico de drogas e a implementação de câmeras nos uniformes das Polícias Militares do Brasil, considerando os benefícios, preocupações éticas e de privacidade. O objetivo é contribuir para o debate sobre o panoptismo, a vigilância constante e as políticas públicas de segurança e proteção dos direitos individuais.

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo analizar la vigilancia colonial y su relación con el desarrollo policial. Para realizar este propósito se reconstruye la polisemia conceptual de la noción de policía y se relaciona con la introducción de los alcaldes de barrio en Santafé de Bogotá en 1774. Con base en un análisis amplio de fuentes primarias, se diferencia policía como concepto, práctica e incipiente institución (Policía). Solo con esta claridad se trazan sus diferentes articulaciones en las prácticas de vigilancia en la vida cotidiana en Santafé. El trabajo señala la importancia de historizar la policía en los siglos XVII, XVIII y el umbral del siglo XIX y describe el surgimiento de una cultura de la vigilancia policial fundada en la construcción del enemigo, la interiorización de las normas, la sectorización del espacio urbano, la investigación del crimen, la captura de sospechosos y el apoyo en la administración de justicia. Con este resultado, esta investigación invita a reflexionar sobre los alcaldes de barrio, en medio de diacronías, como una futura herencia colonial en cuerpo de la Policía moderna como garante de privilegios sistémicos.

En 2022 el sitio Aristegui Noticias publicó una nota sobre el espionaje que realizaba el gobierno de México a través de la red Pegasus. En la investigación, Sebastián Barragán mencionaba que el malware espía era utilizado para atacar a personajes considerados un peligro para el estado mexicano. Si bien esta nota periodística mostraba la situación actual del Estado mexicano en materia de vigilancia, surgen algunas preguntas: ¿los gobiernos del siglo pasado llevaron a cabo tácticas de espionaje? ¿Quiénes fueron considerados los enemigos a perseguir? En este sentido, Enemigos fueron todos: vigilancia y persecución política en el México posrevolucionario (1924-1946) del historiador mexicano César Valdez viene a esclarecer, desde una mirada histórica, el papel que la vigilancia y el espionaje tuvieron en el período posterior a la Revolución.

Resumo Este artigo objetiva explicar, a partir do caso empírico do policiamento a protestos em Porto Alegre durante a Copa do Mundo de 2014, como a incorporação de novas tecnologias de informação e comunicação (TIC) compõe e/ou transforma as táticas policiais de vigilância à ação coletiva. Metodologicamente são utilizadas como fontes entrevistas com agentes policiais e um banco de notícias sobre a cobertura dos protestos à época. Os resultados apontam que o uso de TIC envolve o Centro Integrado de Comando e Controle, o imageamento aéreo, o monitoramento das ruas e o monitoramento das redes sociais, tendendo a produzir o policiamento antecipatório e a ampliação seletiva da visibilidade sobre os manifestantes. A combinação das táticas de vigilância com o controle espacial configura um modelo de incapacitação estratégica do protesto, embora sejam identificadas limitações institucionais na operacionalização das TIC.

Este capítulo del libro Racismo algorítmico: inteligência artificial e discriminação nas redes digitais (Racismo algorítmico: inteligencia artificial y discriminación en redes digitales), publicado por el autor en 2022, demuestra el racismo codificado en la inteligencia artificial. Aborda la violencia material y simbólica, a menudo letal, infligida a personas y poblaciones negras y pobres mediante el despliegue de sistemas predictivos construidos y retroalimentados a partir de conjuntos de datos que reflejan una historia de explotación y segregación. Comienza con un panorama histórico de la normalización de la hipervigilancia y el control violento sobre poblaciones racializadas en Estados Unidos y Brasil. Luego muestra la continuidad de ese control por parte de los sistemas de clasificación algorítmicos contemporáneos, como el reconocimiento facial, la vigilancia predictiva y las puntuaciones de riesgo en seguridad y salud. Alineados con las narrativas oficiales de armonía racial y la justificación meritocrática de la política daltónica, sus desarrolladores, las empresas privadas e instituciones públicas que los emplean los consideran neutrales e ignoran insidiosamente sus prejuicios.

Resumo Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a crescente inserção de espaços de lazer em ambientes de trabalho. Parte-se da hipótese de que esses espaços constituem uma forma de apropriação, por parte do empregador, do tempo de não trabalho de seus empregados. As referências conceituais vêm, principalmente, das noções de “Sociedade disciplinar” (Foucault), com a ideia de corpos dóceis conformados pela vigilância, e de “Sociedade de desempenho” (Han), mostrando como a vivência nesses espaços de exploração do tempo livre dos empregados pode ser facilmente confundida com uma experiência de liberdade. Conclui-se assinalando a participação ativa do trabalhador na sua própria exploração e apontando a necessidade de discutir as implicações psicossociais advindas dessa prática em franca expansão no capitalismo contemporâneo.

El Internet de las Cosas (IoT) desempeña un papel importante en la agricultura porque proporciona beneficios para el desarrollo de cultivos y mejora de producción. Como existen diversos artículos que muestran su utilidad, la finalidad de este trabajo es analizarlos sistemáticamente para extraer datos sobre sistemas IoT enfocados en monitorizar cultivos agrícolas. Como parte del protocolo de revisión se plantearon cuatro preguntas direccionadas a conocer más sobre la manera en que se realiza el monitoreo, los componentes empleados, las funcionalidades y los datos recolectados. Utilizando cuatro de las bases de datos populares del área, se seleccionaron 41 artículos. De la extracción de datos se pudo conocer la utilización de dispositivos IoT con cierta preferencia hacia las aplicaciones móviles y una tendencia a emplear componentes como: ESP8266, YL-69, DTH-1 y Arduino. Además, entre las funcionalidades identificadas están el monitoreo del suelo, del crecimiento y rendimiento del cultivo, de la invasión de animales, el riego automático, entre otras. Por último, se encontraron varias decenas de tipos de datos que recolectan los dispositivos como parámetros ambientales y características del suelo. Todos estos datos ayudan en la caracterización de los sistemas IoT de interés y pueden servir de base para desarrollar otros.

La utilización de caninos es habitual tanto en la seguridad pública como en el servicio de vigilancia privada. En Colombia, la Policía Nacional certifica a los caninos para que puedan ser utilizados para la seguridad privada. El presente artículo muestra cuál es el comportamiento de las variables de especialidad, sexo y raza de 1949 perros certificados, pertenecientes a 56 empresas de la seguridad privada y que pasaron por el proceso de certificación por parte de la Policía Nacional durante el último trimestre de 2022 y primero de 2023. El estudio es un análisis descriptivo de los registros administrativos de la Escuela de Guías y Adiestramiento Canino, perteneciente a la Dirección de Educación Policial, según el Formato de Evaluación para Certificación Caninos a Empresas de Vigilancia y Seguridad Privada. De tal forma, según la especialidad, el 36% de los perros se emplean para la defensa controlada, el 41.5% para la detección de explosivos y el 22.5% para la detección de narcóticos. En cuanto al sexo, el 63.2% son machos y el 36.8% hembras; y respecto a la raza, el 26.6% son labrador retriever, el 20% rottweiler, el 18.8% golden retriever, el 18% pastor alemán y el 13.6% pastores belgas malinois. De esta manera, las organizaciones de vigilancia privada incluyen entre sus servicios el uso de caninos y para satisfacer la demanda han seleccionado ciertas razas para desempeñarse en escenarios que representan vulnerabilidad a la seguridad por cuenta de las manifestaciones delictivas.

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.
