The research focuses on the sustainable design of cultural services, specifically for outdoor exhibitions, which provide an accessible and free alternative to traditional cultural services. The study compares the sustainability aspects of three different design alternatives for exhibition supports. The first uses changeable printed vinyls, the second involves backlit exhibitions with content printed on stretched textiles, and the third transforms the displays into urban furniture during content changes. The complete life cycle of the three services was analyzed, and environmental, economic, and social sustainability dimensions were quantitatively evaluated using global warming potential, execution costs, and labor time indicators. The study aims to integrate sustainability into service system design, presenting cases that illustrate methods for evaluating sustainability in cultural service proposals, with results indicating that different alternatives can be selected based on the applied criteria reflecting the importance of each sustainability dimension.

On Friday, while President Javier Milei was traveling to Mar del Plata to celebrate the New Year, his government formalized Argentina's resignation from the BRICS bloc, which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

The Day of the Innocents, celebrated on December 28th in Latin America and Spain, has shifted from its tragic and dramatic origins to a day of jokes and humor. The date references the biblical massacre of children under two years old by King Herod the Great, as recounted in the Book of Matthew. The term 'innocent' relates to the innocence of the children killed by Herod. The transition from tragedy to humor is not entirely clear, but anthropologist Gustavo Ludueña suggests it may have merged with the 'Feast of Fools,' a carnival-like celebration with irreverent festivities, which took place around the same time. The content was originally published in RED/ACCIÓN and republished as part of the 'Human Journalism' program, a partnership for quality journalism between RÍO NEGRO and RED/ACCIÓN.
