The impact of new digital technologies creates challenges for the digital transformation process in company sustainability areas. The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of contribution of digital-transformation-enabling technologies to company sustainability areas of three pulp and paper manufacturing companies in Brazil and relate it to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through a systematic literature review based on the PRISMA method, we sought to assess the key concepts of sustainability and the implementation of digital transformation (DT) through its enabling digital technologies. A field study was conducted in three Brazilian pulp and paper companies to assess the degree of contribution. They are leading companies in the paper and cellulose industry in Brazil. The results obtained indicate that the companies in this sample are still in a growth process regarding the use of digital technologies in their sustainability areas. Only one digital technology, cloud computing, appears relevant in one of the companies studied, which differs from the theoretical framework presented by the literature. To achieve the SDGs goals, countries, especially emerging ones, need to develop their technologies and their business and improve the results that relate to sustainability. The research method applied in this study can be replicated to other companies where the impact of digital transformation technologies on company sustainability is critical.

Innovation has been the transforming tool of precision agriculture as a response to population growth and the demand for more food with quality, less waste, food security, and sustainable management of environmental resources. The challenges are to increase the productivity of cultivated areas, both for current and future areas, to manage the use of potable water, scarce in many regions, to keep the soil fertile, and to reduce waste through reuse, optimization, resource sharing, and operational and strategic management based on accurate information of planting, harvesting, and management of environmental conditions, which are also objectives of the Circular Economy. Therefore, using Industry 4.0 technologies in agriculture becomes fundamental to facing such challenges. This paper presents a systematic literature review on Industry 4.0 technologies adopted in agriculture for sustainable development, considering environmental, economic, and social benefits. The research pointed to the use of IoT in irrigation control systems by sending automatic commands, monitoring soil and weather conditions, in the use of machinery with some automation features and in cloud data storage systems, and with the use of Big Data analytical tools, with access by mobile devices, these uses contribute to operational and strategic decision making in the management of planting and harvesting. However, the literature review did not find a technological architecture for Integrated Services in Agriculture 4.0. Thus, this paper proposes a Service Architecture that enables the promotion of a Circular Economy in Agriculture 4.0. The contribution of this article to the theory is in the expansion of knowledge of the use of technologies in Agriculture 4.0. In terms of practice, this article provides an Integrated Service Architecture so that new products can be developed for Agriculture 4.0 and thus contribute to society in reducing food insecurity, generating environmental, economic, and social benefits, and promoting the Circular Economy in Agriculture 4.0.

The increasing impact of digital technologies on society is marked by rapid and disruptive changes, including more efficient and modern processes, and is pushing companies to adopt digital solutions. However, companies have limited options, and can rarely avoid being affected by the speed and challenges introduced by digital technologies. Researchers have observed that, despite the advantages they bring, the cybersecurity risks associated with these technologies are not fully apparent. In this context, the present study aims to uncover the risks associated with using digital transformation technologies, which may lead to outcomes that fall short of initial expectations. As the research methodology, a systematic literature review was conducted involving a search for scientific articles in bibliographic databases in order to identify, organize, and classify these risks. This review offered visibility into the risks companies face when adopting digital technologies and provided a framework that highlights the most relevant risks. IT specialists validated these risks through a consistent questionnaire followed by application of the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient applied, aligning our systematic literature review with market realities regarding the risks that companies are exposed to when using digital technologies. As a contribution to both industry and academia, this work offers a framework that can support companies in their digital transformation journey by helping them to recognize and manage the cybersecurity risks associated with digital technologies. Future studies could expand on this framework by developing a model for risk prioritization and mitigation.

The research explored the relationship between the Treaty of Westphalia's principles of national sovereignty and non-intervention and Cyber warfare in the modern era, using the Russian-Ukrainian war as a case study. Through a literature review, the study examined how these principles are evolving in today's boundary-less digital world. An in-depth analysis of incidents between Russia and Ukraine from January 2020 to January 2022 revealed that both countries experienced significant cyber attacks. However, there was no evidence linking Ukraine to any incidents against Russia, and no surge in incidents was observed prior to the events in Ukraine in February 2022. The study concluded that digital incidents appears did not significantly impact the Treaty of Westphalia's principles, suggesting that these principles remain robust in the face of cyber challenges.

O ensino a distância (EaD) vem em um crescimento expressivo, no qual é muito comum o emprego de Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA), bem como a utilização de equipamentos pessoais de informática, como telefones celulares pelos alunos, os quais possuem câmeras frontais que possibilitam a identificação do usuário. Contudo, em um AVA é difícil observar a atenção e a satisfação do aluno em relação ao conteúdo a ele apresentado, diferentemente do que ocorre no ensino presencial. A literatura mostra que o aluno deve apresentar emoções que possam ser evidenciadas, através de sua face e reconhecidas por meio de técnicas computacionais eficientes. Neste trabalho é apresentado uma abordagem computacional, com aplicação da Inteligência Artificial, capaz de detectar a face e os olhos do aluno, além de determinar seu estado de atenção durante a utilização de um objeto de aprendizagem a ele apresentado durante sua jornada em um AVA, com uso de um computador em ambiente Windows. Os experimentos realizados no âmbito da pesquisa em tecnologias educacionais indicam que a integração de mecanismos simples de design instrucional, como ajustes na interface ou o uso de recursos digitais alternativos, pode apoiar a tomada de decisões pedagógicas e promover melhorias na qualidade das experiências de aprendizagem em ambientes AVA.

This research aims to identify the current state of literature on the implications that Artificial Intelligence Governance (AIG) has on organizational Knowledge Governance (KGov) in the era of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI). The combination of AIG, Gen AI, and KGov is a relatively new field, especially with the use of Gen AI, which brings new ethical and transparency challenges that need to be governed due to their influence on decision-making within organizations. The methodology involved an in-depth theoretical exploration through bibliographic research and analysis on the topics of governance, knowledge, or Knowledge Management (KM), and artificial intelligence in organizations. The results discuss the exponential growth of Gen AI today and highlight an urgent need for the development of governance processes and frameworks that can keep pace with this growth of new knowledge impacting organizations. The research presents an integrated view of governance and its relationships that will support companies in managing their knowledge, identifying gaps in these relationships that affect the utilization of knowledge generated by Gen AI, which is crucial for public and business acceptance.
