We are witnessing how new technologies are radically changing the design of organizations, the way in which they produce and manage both their objectives and their strategies, and -above all- how digital transformation impacts the people who are part of it. Even today in our country, many organizations think that digitalizing is having a presence on social networks, a web page or venturing into cases of success in corporate social intranet. Others begin to invest a large part of their budget in training their teams and adapting them to the digital age. But given this current scenario, do we know exactly what the digital transformation of organizations means? It is necessary? Implying? Is there a roadmap to follow that leads to the success of this process? How are organizations that have been born 100% digital from their business conception to the way of producing services through the use of platforms? What role does the organizational culture play in this scenario? The challenge of the digital transformation of businesses and organizations, which is part of the paradigm of the industrial revolution 4.0, is happening here and now in all types of organizations, whether are they private, public or third sector. The challenge to take into account in this process is to identify the digital competences that each worker must face in order to accompany these changes and not be left out of it. In this sense, the present work seeks to analyze the main characteristics of the current technological advances that make up the digital transformation of organizations and how they must be accompanied by a digital culture and skills that allow their successful development. In order to approach this project, we will carry out an exploratory research, collecting data from the sector of new actors in the world of work such as employment platforms in its various areas (gastronomy, delivery, transportation, recreation, domestic service, etc) and an analysis of the main technological changes that impact on the digital transformation of organizations in Argentina.

The digital transformation entails the inclusion and development of agile methodologies that allow adapting the way of working to the conditions of the project, achieving flexibility to the specific circumstances of the environment by working collaboratively. The extrapolation of Scrum to education pursues a purely practical and experiential learning, with the aim of achieving the full development of its autonomy, abilities and skills. Consequently, the objective pursued by this article is to highlight the different topics that are considered when working with Scrum and presenting one example of the application of agile methodologies in the classroom eduScrum.

<abstract> <p>No therapeutic drug has been able to completely eradicate HIV-infection so far, even after decades of research. A major challenge in HIV drug development is its immense diversity. NK cells are well-known for their anti-viral and anti-tumor functions. Since recently, NK cells have gained interest of researchers as they have paved the way for novel approaches in controlling HIV-infection supported by promising results observed in cancer immunotherapy trials. Here we report an anti-DNP CAR-NK cell approach introduced by Lim et al. capable of recognizing 2,4-dinitrophenyl tagged to anti-gp160 antibodies, which seemingly provides an effective solution to counteract HIV variability.</p> </abstract>

Challenges for data storage during drug development have become increasingly complex as the pharmaceutical industry expands in an environment that requires on-demand availability of data and resources for users across the globe. While the efficiency and relative low cost of cloud services have become increasingly attractive, hesitancy toward the use of cloud services has decreased and there has been a significant shift toward real-world implementation. Within GxP laboratories, the considerations for cloud storage of data include data integrity and security, as well as access control and usage for users around the globe. In this review, challenges and considerations when using cloud storage options for the storage of laboratory-based GxP data are discussed and best practices are defined.

A proposition for digital transformation of global groups into efficient enterprises is introduced. At the heart of the proposition is a transformational practice aimed at creating a customer-focused, data-driven global culture in any customer-serving company. The digital age has added a level of complexity to the way we acquire and serve customers. Doing a good job in the traditional channels is not enough anymore. Online is increasingly becoming the channel of choice with the two main customer-interaction paradigms: sell and service. And building a great customer experience is probably the most essential factor of success for both functions.
