The Lonarte Extension Program, part of the State University of Londrina, has been working for six years on the reuse of post-consumer PVC banners through products manufactured by women's groups associated with the Municipal Solidarity Economy Program, generating employment and income. Additionally, the program promotes environmental education initiatives through lectures and workshops aimed at ten-year-old children. Within this context, the present study seeks to understand how the knowledge network established within the program generates social innovation. Thus, the research aims to analyze the different types of knowledge present in the network — with particular emphasis on tacit knowledge — as well as the information flows among actors and the implementation of innovations, to identify possible changes capable of strengthening cooperation and expanding innovative processes. Methodologically, this is a qualitative and exploratory study, based on bibliographic research, documentary analysis, and a case study approach. The analysis indicates that the social innovation achieved by the project results from the interactions among multiple actors and their diverse forms of knowledge, demonstrating the importance of knowledge exchange in achieving innovative and territorialized solutions.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.

This paper investigates the challenges of digital transformation in small municipalities, focusing on the case of Candói, Brazil. The research aims to diagnose the sociotechnical and institutional bottlenecks that hinder interoperability among municipal secretariats, which often lead to information silos and operational inefficiency. Using a qualitative approach, the study examines how the fragmentation of administrative systems perpetuates a "vicious cycle of ambiguity," hindering the effective implementation of digital governance. The methodology involves the development of a Situational Diagnostic Report and a Digital Governance Guidelines Guide, intended to assist managers in streamlining administrative processes. Preliminary results indicate that overcoming organizational stagnation requires a transition from mere bureaucratic digitization to a strategic focus on system interoperability and process simplification. The study concludes that innovation in processes, when aligned with the directives of Law No. 14.129/2021, acts as an essential infrastructure for public value, promoting equity in service access and administrative efficiency. This research provides a practical framework for small municipalities to improve their digital maturity and institutional trust.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.

Advances in digital infrastructures and the increasing incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) systems into different spheres of social life have produced significant transformations in the ways knowledge is accessed, produced, validated, and used. In environments characterized by hyperconnectivity and intense algorithmic mediation, processes of knowing are increasingly constituted by complex socio-technical systems in which individuals, algorithms, digital platforms, institutions, and informational infrastructures interact. In this context, responsibility for knowledge processes can no longer be attributed exclusively to individuals, requiring approaches that take into account its distributed nature. This paper aims to contribute to a broader understanding of epistemic responsibilities in contexts mediated by AI technologies by articulating the concepts of epistemic responsibility, distributed epistemic responsibility, and infraethics. Methodologically, the study adopts a qualitative, theoretical-reflective approach grounded in a critical review of interdisciplinary literature drawn from the Philosophy of Information, Information Ethics, social epistemology, and AI studies. The discussion highlights that the promotion of epistemically responsible practices depends not only on individuals' cognitive capacities but also on the structural, institutional, and technological conditions that shape informational environments. It is concluded that the articulation between epistemic responsibility and infraethics provides a relevant framework for understanding the ethical and epistemological challenges of contemporary processes of knowing mediated by artificial intelligence systems.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.

This article proposes a brief inquiry, aimed at understanding and discussing what the notion of finality, following the development of the concept by the philosopher Gérard Lebrun, might contribute to understanding the division between ancient and modern ethics as historically addressed by Michel Foucault. It does so through interpretive research on articles by two contemporary authors in the theoretical field of Information Science, Rafael Capurro and Luciano Floridi. Furthermore, it considers how an understanding of finality may, in turn, establish a theoretical division within these authors, improving our understanding of their philosophical foundations. We believe it has been possible to contextualize, in light of the specific concept adopted, a relationship in which the integration of phenomenological concepts by Capurro and skeptical concepts by Floridi denotes the authors' choices within ethical divisions internalized in both periods (ancient and modern), with Capurro's balance leaning toward the polis and Floridi's toward the forum.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.

This artifact contains the datasets, scripts, and analysis notebooks used in our study of Cookiecutter template testing. It includes the collected Cookiecutter templates, the scripts used for processing and testing, and the notebooks used to analyze and summarize the experimental results. The artifact contents are organized as follows: Cookiecutter_templates_script.ipynbA Jupyter notebook collects Cookiecutter templates and performs initial dataset analysis. It provides statistics about the collected repositories, including programming language distribution, Cookiecutter variable types, and other dataset characteristics. process_all_templates.pyA script used to execute the proposed five-stage testing pipeline on the complete collection of target Cookiecutter templates. analysis.ipynbA Jupyter notebook analyzes the experimental results and extracts insights from the study, including detected errors, hook-related information, retired combinatorial test cases, and other findings. cookiecutter_templates_workspace.zipThe raw dataset containing the 1,304 collected Cookiecutter template repositories used in our study. cookiecutter_templates_workspace_*.zipThe resulting datasets after applying the testing pipeline to the collected Cookiecutter template repositories. The datasets contain the processed template repositories together with the generated testing results. Two types of algorithm runs are provided: Unranked runs: cookiecutter_templates_workspace_M*.zip, where M denotes the size (cap) of the configuration space explored by the run, ranging from M1 to M10000 configurations. For example, cookiecutter_templates_workspace_M1000.zip corresponds to an unranked run with a configuration space of 1,000 combinations. Randomized runs with fixed seeds: cookiecutter_templates_workspace_M*_R_S*.zip, where M denotes the size (cap) of the configuration space and S denotes the random seed used for selecting configurations. The provided randomized runs use seeds 7 and 42. For example, cookiecutter_templates_workspace_M1000_R_S7.zip corresponds to a run with 1,000 configurations using random seed 7, while cookiecutter_templates_workspace_M100_R_S42.zip corresponds to a run with 100 configurations using random seed 42. The filename convention is: M<N> → unranked run with a configuration space of N combinationsM<N>_R_S<K> → randomized run with a configuration space of N combinations using random seed K. This artifact enables replication of the dataset collection, testing process, and analysis presented in the associated paper.

Abstract: Measles is a highly contagious acute viral infection and remains one of the most important vaccine-preventable diseases worldwide. Despite the availability of an effective and safe vaccine, measles outbreaks continue to occur in different regions, especially where vaccination coverage is insufficient. The resurgence of measles in recent years has been associated with gaps in routine immunization, missed vaccination opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic, migration, vaccine hesitancy, unequal access to health-care services, and the accumulation of susceptible individuals in certain communities. The purpose of this article is to analyze the epidemiological characteristics of measles, the role of vaccination coverage in controlling transmission, and the major factors contributing to the re-emergence of the disease. The study is based on a review of scientific literature and international public health recommendations. The findings indicate that maintaining high two-dose vaccination coverage, strengthening epidemiological surveillance, identifying unvaccinated individuals, improving public awareness, and ensuring timely outbreak response are essential for controlling measles. Sustained immunization efforts and strong public health systems are necessary to prevent future outbreaks and reduce measles-related complications and mortality.

This study analyzes the invisibility of ethical competence in the labor market for information professionals based on findings from a master's dissertation on competencies required for Library Science professionals to act as information and knowledge managers. The objective is to understand why a competence recognized as a priority by specialists is rarely made explicit in recruitment advertisements. The research adopts an exploratory and qualitative approach based on documentary analysis of job advertisements, validation conducted with 132 specialists, and interpretation of the findings through the lenses of Information Ethics and Infoethics. The results indicate that ethical competence is part of the set of competencies considered essential for the performance of librarians as information and knowledge managers, although technical and operational competencies are more frequently highlighted in labor market demands. From the perspective of Information Ethics, this scenario suggests both the possibility that ethics is perceived as an implicit professional attribute and the tendency to prioritize instrumental competencies in results-oriented organizational environments. It is concluded that ethical competence represents a relevant element for information governance, particularly in the face of challenges related to digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and information responsibility.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.

 The article examines the lexical-semantic and axiological mechanisms underlying the renaming of individuals in the Islamic anthroponymic tradition as reflected in Uzbek religious and historical sources. The study focuses on anthroponymic material represented in Alikhontura Soghuniy’s Tarikhi Muhammadiy and Nosiruddin Rabghuzi’s Qissasi Rabghuzi. Particular attention is paid to cases in which names carrying negative, conflict-related, socially undesirable, or pre-Islamic semantic associations were replaced by names expressing positive ethical, spiritual, and social values. The research employs lexical-semantic, etymological, contextual, and linguocultural methods. The analysis demonstrates that renaming should not be interpreted merely as a formal substitution of one proper name for another. It constitutes a process of semantic and axiological reorientation in which the evaluative content of an anthroponym is deliberately transformed. Examples such as Harb → Salom, Osiyya → Jamila, Qolil → Kasir, Hazn → Sahl, and Jamra → Salima reveal recurrent semantic movements from conflict to peace, disobedience to positive personal evaluation, deficiency to abundance, sorrow to ease, and destructive imagery to well-being. The findings show that personal names in Islamic anthroponymy function simultaneously as nominative, evaluative, pragmatic, and linguocultural units. Renaming therefore represents a linguistic mechanism through which social identity, ethical norms, and religious values become interconnected.

The expansion of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) demands a structural reconfiguration of Instructional Design (ID). This paper presents the theoretical-methodological architecture and materiality of the AGE Model (Analysis, Generation, Evolution), a native framework designed to govern the symbiosis between algorithmic traction and human cognitive authority. The necessity of the method stems from the urgency to shield the instructional pipeline against superficiality and cognitive overload through Transversal Structural Assets. These assets align the process with solid andragogic and didactic foundations. Methodologically, an applied action research approach with a qualitative and quantitative mix is adopted. To validate the framework, empirical results from its six-month application within a corporate Content Factory are analyzed. The results show a 45% reduction in technical production time compared to traditional models. It is concluded that the structural materiality of the method is indispensable for ensuring didactic intentionality and human governance in contemporary corporate education.Conference abstract published in the proceedings of TOI2026 — XII Congresso Internacional em Tecnologia e Organização da Informação.
