Nesse sentido, o objeto do estudo envereda-se pelas teias discursivas de sujeitos que circulam pelos espaços físicos e virtuais da cidade de Picos, ambicionando com isso produzir uma história do tempo presente, referenciada por autores tais como Félix Guattari, Suely Rolnik, Donna Haraway, Massimo Canevacci e Stuart Hall. Apresentam-se como sujeitos a serem pesquisados aqueles que arrogam para si a nomeação de nerds, fazendo levantamento de dados orais.

The term sharing economy is used in specialized literature to identify how the Internet, smartphones, and applications are changing the global economic dynamic. This article presents documentary research focused on private sharing applications that have emerged in recent decades, intending to contribute to the improvement of local public management. Descriptive data analysis and regression were used to characterize the local governments' adherence to new technologies and to identify how these new technologies affect the fiscal performance of municipalities measured by the FIRJAN Fiscal Management Index. The results obtained show that shared economy Apps can contribute in different ways, with emphasis on greater cooperation and coordination within and between local governments, reduction in the underutilization of assets, greater access and improvement in the quality of public services, and greater interaction and citizen participation in public decisions. The estimated regression shows that the use of new communication technologies contributes to improving the municipalities' fiscal performance. However, these technologies are little used and should be encouraged in local public administrations. ; El término economía compartida se utiliza en la literatura especializada para identificar cómo la Internet, los smartphones y las aplicaciones están cambiando la dinámica económica mundial. Este artículo presenta una investigación documental realizada para identificar las aplicaciones de compartición que surgieron en las últimas décadas y cómo están contribuyendo a la mejora de la gestión pública local. Se utilizó el análisis descriptivo de datos y la regresión para caracterizar la adhesión a las nuevas tecnologías por parte de los gobiernos locales y para identificar cómo afectan el desempeño fiscal de los municipios, medido a partir del Índice FIRJAN de Gestión Fiscal (IFGF). Los resultados obtenidos muestran que las aplicaciones de economía compartida pueden contribuir de diferentes formas, con énfasis en: mayor cooperación y coordinación dentro y entre los gobiernos locales, reducción de la subutilización de activos, mayor acceso y mejora en la calidad de los servicios públicos y mayor interacción y participación ciudadana en las decisiones públicas. La regresión estimada muestra que el uso de nuevas tecnologías de la comunicación contribuye a mejorar el desempeño fiscal de los municipios. Sin embargo, estas tecnologías rara vez se utilizan y se necesitan iniciativas para fomentar el uso de aplicaciones de compartición en las gestiones públicas locales. ; O termo economia compartilhada é empregado na literatura especializada para identificar a forma como a internet, os smartphones e os aplicativos estão modificando a dinâmica econômica mundial.

Utilizou-se a análise descritiva dos dados e uma regressão para caracterizar a adesão às novas tecnologias pelos governos locais e para identificar o modo como afetam o desempenho fiscal dos municípios, mensurado a partir do Índice FIRJAN de Gestão Fiscal (IFGF). Os resultados obtidos mostram que os aplicativos de economia compartilhada podem contribuir de diferentes formas, com destaque para: a maior cooperação e coordenação intra e entre governos locais, redução na subutilização de ativos, maior acesso e melhoria na qualidade dos serviços públicos, e maior interação e participação dos cidadãos nas decisões públicas. A regressão estimada mostra que o emprego das novas tecnologias de comunicação contribui para a melhoria no desempenho fiscal dos municípios. Contudo, essas tecnologias são pouco utilizadas, sendo necessárias iniciativas que estimulem a utilização de aplicativos de compartilhamento nas gestões públicas locais.

The author proposes, in the six essays of this her brand-new book, a reflection on the status of image in the contemporary world. Since the emergence of photography, and after cinema, the universe of technical images did not know a process of transformation as radical as that of our time. Images have become the main interfaces of daily mediation, occupying communication, affective relationships, infrastructure, surveillance aesthetics and body scan systems in the city. Speaking of image policies, she argues that images are, in addition to the transmission of ideas and languages, the very field of political tensions and disputes of today. Beiguelman associates the invention and massive distribution of smartphones with a new surveillance regime, no longer instituted by the state, but the result of the systematic capture of personal data, deliberately offered by users to social media platforms the datasphere. The countless production of images in the feeds and stories of social networks, surveillance cameras and official records configure, according to her, a new aesthetic of surveillance. Digital image, selfies, memes, image aging apps, Waze and Google Maps, deep fakes videos, body scanning, the internet of things, facial recognition machines, artificial intelligence, gable protest projections in cities, digital censorship, all these novelties from the contemporary world are analyzed by Giselle Beiguelman to describe (and even guide the reader to recognize in the world around him/her) the role of the image in social relations today

Background: While Brazilian governmental initiatives focused on home broadband Internet access, availability of computers for students in schools has been drastically reduced since 2010. Furthermore, schools usually prohibits mobile Internet access in its premises, contrarily to the migration of students' access to smartphones. Objectives: This study investigates the impact of the increasing home and mobile Internet access on the existing educational inequalities. Design: This study made use of quantitative, locally statistical research to investigate the reproduction or closing of existing educational digital divide across already contrasting Brazilian regions. Setting and Participants: Child or adolescent from 9 to 17 years of age and their guardians, interviewed by CETIC.br. Data collection and analysis: Data was obtained from the CETIC.br data portal and the Google Trends webpage. Data were analysed by means of local geostatistical measures of spatial autocorrelation and inequality, as well as bivariate choropleth maps. Results: Our results suggest that the Brazilian school system is failing to cultivate in their students the more productive use of Internet access and therefore contributing to the widening of the existing second-level digital divide between regions and social classes. Conclusions: This digital divide was critically exacerbated by the arrival of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the suspension of presential classes.Brazilian policymakers should concentrate efforts and resources in addressing this large-scale second-level digital divide, possibly by equipping educators and students with the knowledge and skills towards the educational, productive and responsible use of the Internet, as well as allowing mobile Internet access in school premises.

Introduction: the public health crisis caused by COVID-19, a disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, has imposed physical threats and psychological suffering on both infected patients and individuals who experience social isolation and various governmental restrictions, leading to the appearance of symptoms like anxiety, depression, as well as insomnia, stress, and changes in biological rhythm. In face of this stressful scenario, interventions based on mindfulness (MBIs) have proved to be potentially adequate tools in reducing psychological suffering and generating well-being in the general population. Objective: to describe the effects of mindfulness-based interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted on the effects of mindfulness intervention in times of COVID-19. The articles were searched in four databases (Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, and Science direct) and the PRISMA protocol was used to conduct this review. In total, fourteen articles were included in the study. Results: the use of mindfulness techniques in the population with impaired mental health because of the COVID-19 pandemic proved to be beneficial, with improvement in emotional stress scores and reduction in anxiety symptoms, through formal mindfulness meditation practices such as mindful breathing, body scanning, and application of the mindfulness-based stress reduction strategy (MBSR). Strategies were also applied through smartphone applications that had the objective of promoting the increase of mindfulness and the development of the acceptance without judgment of the traumatic experiences already lived, in addition to an integrated intervention on the internet with the use of mindfulness, the training of respiratory relaxation, refuge skills and Butterfly Hug Method. Conclusion: with the pandemic going through, still with high mortality, continuity of social isolation, and, consequently, intensification of psychic suffering in the population and health professionals, interventions based on mindfulness ...
