The integration of Artificial Intelligence in the field of art raises questions about its creative capacity, its influence on the essence and appreciation of art, as well as the role of the artist. This research conducts a systematic review of the literature to address these questions with a focus on music and to understand the state of the art. Currently, there are AIs that have the ability to generate compositions autonomously, raising the question of whether the perception of originality and beauty changes when a machine creates. By simulating cognitive processes, AI provides insights into the manifestation of human creativity. However, human creativity is unique, influenced by emotions and experiences. In contrast, machines rely on replicating pre-existing patterns, but with the right guidance, they can enhance human creativity. Even so, they require constant calibration, relying on human criteria to judge their output. The convergence of technology and creativity has led to debates about ethics and copyright of works. It is crucial that technology be at the service of the human being, underlining the urgency of establishing a firm ethical framework in our digital age. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the main problems of our time is the paradox of the hyperconnected society. The vast and verbose information that arrives through multiple channels is increasingly endless. The space to interact and develop communication is almost infinite thanks to technological advancement. In this context, the ways of narrating / telling have been transformed, from the texts of one direction and one reading path, to those of several simultaneous, interactive paths ... in which many languages and signs converge. Accordingly, the processes of interpretation involve and require very different capacities. From the communicative competence to speak, listen, read and write to the audiovisual, informational, digital, media, hypermedia, transmedia competence Storytellers on social networks have revolutionized communication and stories causing important changes in the forms of production, reception and understanding of citizenship. Profiles emerge that drag followers and become icons and models. The stories are produced and consumed in such a way that the roles of narrator and recipient are hybridized in co-creation, and in the figure of the prosumer. The media noise caused by permanent connection and public exposure is questioned. Given this, it is necessary to advocate the literacy necessary to manage the plurality of stories that follow and overlap in the battle for like. Developing media competence can be the key to narrative in the transmedia context of intelligent communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to demonstrate the importance of the use of technological media in relation to the lexicon quality of secondary school students. The research breaks with previous research profiles and lexicon is given a meaning where morphology, phonology and semantics converge. The study first characterized the situation of the students regarding their lexicon, use and attitude towards technology, and the calculation of their correlation, where it was discovered that certainly students who use technology and have a high attitude towards technology manage to develop better its lexicon quality. High correlation is found between them using the Rho-test of Spearman. The research provides evidence on how the formation of a quality lexicon was determined by the use of technological media.

The aim of this work is to identify the new possibilities of contents and technologies of digital books as communication and informational tools of last generation within the ICT. In addition, the position and receptivity of the new formats within the university publishing world in Colombia is evidenced. The process begins with a historical-contextual analysis for the comprehension of the book and the impact of the electronic format, passing through proactive methods to approach real approximations from the characteristics of the contents, typology of devices, specifications and developments for the screen-mediated reading to the hermeneutic reading of the different sources selected for the process: Interviews and conversations with editors, producers, designers and university publishing funds. From the instruments, surveys were designed for 25 editorial groups and 9 unstructured interviews with production companies and an in-depth interview model for university librarians. It is clarified that these instruments are part of a macro research, which also reviewed the role of the electronic book in the Colombian commercial sector, accompanied by 1,500 surveys throughout the country.

The article titled "The era of the centaur: Latin American bioethics and José Alberto Mainetti (1938-2022)" highlights the importance of selective thinking in prospective and anticipatory bioethics. It mentions the need to reconcile the perspectives and languages of the two cultures, humanistic and scientific, as well as to consider the creative dimensions of art and the ways in which social changes are received. The article also addresses current technological challenges and the importance of considering the context and circumstances in the use of technologies. It emphasizes the convergence between infotechnologies and biotechnologies and mentions José Alberto Mainetti as a precursor of bioethical discourse in Latin America. His legacy is characterized by the integration of perspectives and ideas and the necessary harmony for the convergence between these technologies. [Extracted from the article]

The analysis of the appropriation of technologies involves considering several facets or moments of a complex process. This article, derived from a broader research, focuses on the analysis of the advertising strategies of major mobile telephone operators in Argentina, since appropriation is understood as a process in which there are certain learnings by users and it is assumed that media texts converge in them, although not in an exclusive way. In order to carry out this investigation, a corpus of television spots was established for the main mobile telephony operators in Argentina, in the period 1989-2015. Sample was made up of a total of 258 pieces that were subjected to an analysis of thematic content. The analysis was carried out using a matrix delimited from theoretical criteria. In the present work are exposed the results of the analysis of the variables related to the type of use and its purpose. From the perspective that sustains this work, the analysis of the imaginaries put into circulation by the advertising is a useful way to better understand, and to dimension more accurately, the process of appropriation of this technology.

Discussion on convergence, represented in a variety of academic fields related to communication, has not included production and consumption of content, notwithstanding the relative abundance of references to convergence in Peruvian business and government papers. This is addressed by drafting a definition of convergence analyzing its specific manifestation, trying to generalize how it affects the viability of media industries and the definition of communication policy. Models of convergence are analyzed and an interpretation that helps to understand convergence as a social and cultural phenomenon is proposed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we present some results from our research on technological media convergence and everyday life. The results suggest that new changes would be happening on the space-temporal dimension of daily experience on people and in the way in which those give stability, structure and meaning to the intersubjective world, as a consequence of uses, appropriations and meanings about smartphones. We propose the concept of enriched everyday life or hyper everyday life in order to explain what we consider one of the principal transformations in daily life to people in the contemporary world related to the incorporation of smartphones.

This paper presents the advances of one of the lines of work of the research project "Social communication of science. Challenges and Perspectives in the convergence of languages " (School of Social Communication, Universidad Nacional de Rosario). This work will focus on the link-up between videogames and the model of social communication of science, considered as a relationship that allows the appropriation of science and a process that transforms passive receivers into well informed, active citizens, leading to a democratization of science. Videogames conceived as new media, a concept coined by Lev Manovich, allow the construction and appropriation of meaning by users through the simulation of different situations. They therefore propose a player / viewer that is not reduced to a passive guider of the plot, but rather is an active participant who reflects and appropriates of the game, transforming, adapting and manipulating it. The same properties can be seen in the model of social communication of science, centered in an active citizen who appropriates scientific discourse and problematizes science, this is, someone who is no longer an amateur, as Lafuente puts it, but a 'Tecnocidano' instead.

This article presents both the development and the application of a hybrid meta-heuristic algorithm, Particle Swarm Optimization + Simplex (PSO+SX), and seeks to evaluate its performance in the solution of heat transfer problems shown by electronic circuits. More specifically, the minimum entropy generation criterion for the design of micro-channels was used. In order to check the validity of the algorithm, this work used data from recent literature, where deterministic algorithms were implemented. It was possible to reproduce the results with a lowered computational cost (through simpler programming,) which allows the designer to focus on the heat problem instead of the numerical solution. The proposed method is better than Lagrange multipliers since it does not require starting conditions near the global minima to ensure convergence and precision, thus making it a feasible technique for real-life problems.
