Título: Comentario a "El idioma analítico de John Wilkins" de Jorge Luis Borges (1952) desde la perspectiva de la inteligencia artificial Autor: Preziosa, María Marta Resumen: Comentario ensayístico que indaga una posible analogía entre el lenguaje de la inteligencia artificial (IA) y “El idioma analítico de John Wilkins” de J. L. Borges. La analogía se establece alrededor de las pretensiones del lenguaje sugeridas por Borges y por algunos de los creadores de la IA.

Título: Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in academic management: an alternative personalist approach Autor: Hoevel, Carlos Resumen: This article examines the implications of new public management (NPM) reforms on higher education, challenging the reliance on extrinsic motivations that dominate current university management practices, as shaped by Human Capital and Rational Choice theories. The adoption of NPM emphasizes efficiency and measurable results, which, while appealing, risk undermining the intrinsic value of teaching and research. The article argues that these frameworks provide a limited understanding of human motivation, ultimately leading to unintended negative consequences for academic environments. In response, the author proposes an alternative management framework grounded in the Ethical Personalist approach, which prioritizes holistic development and intrinsic motivations in university governance. By drawing on the tradition of Personalist philosophy, the article contends that a more comprehensive view of human action, which balances extrinsic and intrinsic motivations, can foster a healthier academic culture. The proposed framework aims to offer practical recommendations for university leaders and policymakers, encouraging a shift towards governance models that genuinely enhance educational quality and community engagement. This is the first comprehensive articulation of an Ethical Personalist approach to academic management, seeking to revitalize and enrich higher education practices amidst ongoing critiques of NPM’s efficacy.

Título: Has the Beyond-GDP Agenda Made its Way into Policy discourses? Evidence from the Legislative Branch in Canada and the United States Autor: Aromí, José Daniel; Mitchell, Ann Elizabeth; Mitra, Sophie Resumen: Since the 1950s, GDP has been the most widely used measure of societal progress for countries around the world. Yet GDP is essentially a measure of current market production and does not capture the wellbeing of households, how growth is distributed, nor the negative effects of growth on the environment and wellbeing of future generations. An expanding literature on the Beyond-GDP agenda has proposed many alternative indicators and measurement systems. Yet, there is little quantitative evidence on whether this agenda is used in policy. This paper assesses the extent to which the Beyond-GDP agenda has made its way into legislative debates in the United States and Canada by estimating word frequency indices of Beyond-GDP keywords overall and by topic (cross-cutting, environmental, social) in the full corpus of legislative debate transcripts during 1996–2023. Keywords were selected based on a literature review and tested through validation exercises. The results show that while Beyond-GDP keywords are increasingly used in legislative debates in both countries, the frequency of usage began at a higher level and rose more in Canada than in the United States. A large language model is also used to assess whether the statements containing selected keywords are consistent with the Beyond-GDP agenda. The results based on a modified index, which incorporates these assessments, are unchanged. Overall, the findings suggest that the Beyond-GDP Agenda has not been uniformly embraced in policy discourses across countries. The relatively low frequency of Beyond-GDP keywords found in the US suggests that the recent call for a renewed political commitment to the Beyond-GDP agenda by the United Nations (2023) is warranted at least in some countries.

Título: Effects of climate change on physical inactivity: a panel data study across 156 countries from 2000 to 2022 Autor: García Witulski, Christian Martín; Rabassa, Mariano Javier; Melo, Oscar; Helo Sarmiento, Juliana Resumen: Physical inactivity represents a major global health challenge. Recent findings indicate that approximately one-third of the global adult population does not adhere to WHO guidelines,1 which stipulate a minimum of 150 min of moderate intensity or 75 min of vigorous intensity physical activity on a weekly basis.2 Physical inactivity is one of the leading modifiable risk factors for non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and is responsible for an estimated 5% of all adult deaths,3 drives US$54 billion in annual direct health-care costs, and generates a further $14 billion in productivity losses.4 Without decisive action, the global prevalence of physical inactivity could rise, threatening the WHO target of a 15% relative reduction by 2030.
