A Comparative Analysis of Government Policies to Promote Energy Efficiency in the US, China, and India
Authors: Revinova Svetlana , Gomonov Konstantin
Published: January 2023

This article provides a comparative analysis of Energy efficiency policies in the US, China, and India. During the analysis, all policies were divided into 4 main groups: administrative, economic, production/industrial, and information policies. The study found that energy efficiency policies in the US, China, and India are positively associated with reduced energy intensity. The primary role of the state is to form common goals, adopt legislative and regulatory frameworks, implement state programs, and develop financial support mechanisms for the fulfilment of tasks. This confirms our analysis. The share of administrative policies in the US and China was 76%, and India 60%. In our view, strengthening energy efficiency information policies can play an important role in achieving the goals. The results of the study showed that China is now pursuing a more centralized policy, although the examples of the United States and India show that measures taken in individual states have great potential. In our opinion, the complementarity of the policies pursued will provide a synergistic effect and allow countries to achieve their energy efficiency goals.

The objective of this study is to develop a model for forecasting energy consumption and to increase the effectiveness of Thailand's sustainable development policy based on energy consumption by using the best model, the Path Analysis-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity Model (Path-GARCH model). To improve the effectiveness of sustainability policies, the researcher has envisioned the final energy consumption over a 20-year period (AD 2023–2022) by defining a new scenario policy. Comparing the performance of the Path-GARCH model to other previous models, the Path-GARCH model was found to have the lowest mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) values. In addition, the study found that energy consumption continued to rise to 125,055 ktoe by 2042, with a growth rate of 115.05% between 2042 and 2023, which exceeded the carrying capacity limit of 90,000 ktoe. When a new scenario policy is implemented, however, the final energy consumption continues to rise to 74,091 ktoe (2042). Consequently, defining a new scenario policy is a crucial development guideline for enhancing the effectiveness of Thailand's sustainable development policy.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate India's long-run equilibrium relationship between carbon emissions, financial development, energy consumption, urbanization and trade openness from 1960 to 2020. The analysis of the sources of carbon emissions by taking into account the role that financial growth and trade openness plays and using data from a single country is the most significant contribution that we have made to the existing body of research on Indian studies, using an updated dataset and methodology. According to the findings, there is evidence of long-term relationship between trade openness, financial development, urbanization, energy consumption and carbon emissions. Given that each of the variables has a positive association with the carbon emissions; this indicates that each of the variables contributes to environmental degradation, since they emit a significant amount of CO2 into the atmosphere, in the context of India over the time period of the study that was observed. According to the data presented, the functioning of the financial system ought to incorporate an awareness of its impact on the surrounding environment. The findings of this study could be of tremendous significance for those responsible for formulating policies and making decisions in the area of energy in India, particularly those that contribute to the reduction of carbon emissions while maintaining environmental integrity

The lack of a proper system for the use of energy resources is a nationwide problem in Ukraine. Payment for the consumed services for energy carriers mainly formed according to “consumption rates”, which can significantly ex-ceed the actually received amount of services and leads to an unjustified in-crease in the cost of energy resources. All this requires a search for new tools to stimulate energy intensity, effective accounting of the total volume of ener-gy consumption and the introduction of the best foreign experience in the field of energy saving in Ukraine. The analysis of energy consumption in the coun-try made it possible to identify the existing problems that subsist in the energy sphere today and provided an opportunity to propose ways to eliminate imbal-ances. The proposed methodology makes it possible to build models for estab-lishing the relationship between energy intensity and final energy consump-tion in Ukraine. Evaluation of foreign European experience makes it possible to implement the most necessary reforms and measures in domestic practice to improve the sphere of energy consumption.

Published: January 2023

Today's discussion centers on whether cryptocurrencies may be used to pay for products and services in developed and underdeveloped nations. The role of cryptocurrencies as investment and speculative trading vehicles is also expanding. The cryptocurrency bitcoin serves as an illustration of such use. The first cryptocurrency to develop value without initially satisfying requirements and carrying any type of collateral in the form of traditional currencies is bitcoin. The analysis of the variables influencing the price of bitcoin is one of the most hotly debated subjects in the financial literature. The purpose of this study is to look into the connection between the price of natural gas and crude oil and the cryptocurrency Bitcoin. In this study, the effect of Brent oil, crude oil and natural gas prices on Bitcoin was examined. For the data containing the weekly time series for the period 05.01.2020-26.12.2021, FMOLS and DOLS tests were conducted, which show the coefficient of cointegration, causality and relationship. According to the findings of the study, according to the FMOLS test, 1% Bitcoin in brent oil price increases 0.000176% (probability values according to DOLS do not confirm the effect). Likewise, when we look at crude oil, according to FMOLS test, 1% Bitcoin in crude oil price increases 0.000180% (the probability values according to DOLS do not confirm the effect). When we look at the changes in the Bitcoin price, according to the DOLS test, a 1% increase in the Bitcoin price increases the Brent oil by 77.86132% (the probability values according to FMOLS do not confirm the effect).
Environmental Disclosure and Efficiency Performance of Energy Company: Case Study of Indonesia
Authors: Kusmayadi Dedi , Firmansyah Irman
Published: January 2023

This study aims to investigate the efficiency performance of energy companies, especially the environmental disclosure variable as the energy companies' responsibility to the environment, especially in achieving the SDGs. In addition, several other factors were also tested to determine their effect on the level of efficiency. The study was conducted on 42 energy companies in Indonesia for the period 2018 to 2021. Efficiency analysis uses Data Envelopment Analysis with input and output variables from each financial report. Meanwhile, STATA software was used to analyze the regression. The results show that the efficiency level of gas and oil companies is more optimal than other companies. However, coal companies are better at predicting the level of efficiency. This is in line with the huge energy potential in Indonesia that comes from coal. Another finding is that although environmental disclosure has not succeeded in increasing efficiency performance, it can moderate the relationship between size and efficiency level.
Regional Estimates of Residential Electricity Demand in Brazil
Authors: Carrasco-Gutierrez Carlos Enrique , Ehrl Philipp
Published: January 2023

Understanding consumers' short- and long-run response to electricity prices is essential for efficient market regulations, supplier planning decisions, and evaluation of policies for the economic development of the country. This work estimates the determinants of residential electricity demand for Brazil and for each of its five geographic regions, North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast and South in a cointegration setup. The demand model accounts for the electricity prices, personal income, production and price of appliances, and climatic conditions, all of which show pronounced regional disparities. The data confirm that price and income elasticities are inelastic, both in the short- and long-run. Regional disaggregation yields the insight that price elasticities are insignificant in the North, Southeast and South, both in the short- and long-run. For the country as a whole, the short-term price effect is insignificant as well. This novel result casts doubt on recently implemented and future price-based policy measures that are necessary to reduce electricity consumption in a system that is frequently close to its maximum capacity. Brazil’s dependency on increasingly scarce rainfall and the rising electricity demand due to income increases require effective responses, however.
Prospects and Barriers for Renewable Microgeneration in India
Authors: Lazanyuk Inna , Ratner Svetlana , Matyushok Vladimir
Published: January 2023

Today, India is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases with fast growing energy demand. The fact that India has no nationwide energy system due to natural causes such as impassable forests, mountainous areas, and considerable distances, makes the development of microgeneration based on renewable energy is a promising direction for this country from technical, economical, and environmental points of view. The present paper aims at analyzing barriers for developing the microgeneration based on the most advanced renewable energy technologies (photovoltaics and small wind) in India. Our results demonstrate that for many territories in India, microgeneration is not just a supplementary way to provide electricity to the local population, but also the only way. Therefore, higher technical requirements are imposed, particularly the need for parallel development of microgrid management and energy storage technologies. This creates additional technical, infrastructural, and financial barriers to development and reduces the role of an individual consumer (prosumer). Due to the low importance of individual consumers, companies selling and servicing micro-generating equipment are more focused on the B2B sells format, manifested in the strategy of their representation on the Internet.

Published: January 2023

Since the start of this century, much attention has been given to economic growth and environmental changes and their effects on human beings. The present study has developed a comprehensive model to discuss the nexus between economic growth, environmental degradation, and public health. Furthermore, renewable energy consumption and public health spending are used as moderators to make the model more inclusive. The time series data from 1972 to 2020 has been used, and a regression path modeling tool SPPS-PROCESS Model 29, has been applied to carry out the results. The results showed a positive and significant effect of economic growth on environmental degradation, while renewable energy consumption reduces environmental degradation. Furthermore, environmental degradation is negatively affecting the health status in Pakistan. The results of the total effects showed that economic growth positively contributes to public health with a low coefficient. The indirect conditional impact of economic growth on human health through the mediating role of environmental degradation becomes positive from negative in the long run due to renewable energy and public spending on health. Based on the result, some policies are suggested in the last section of this study.

This study investigates the influence of oil export and political issues on Iraq's stock exchange using various Ordinary Least Square regression models. The empirical results show that the model's effect is not similar based on the explanatory variables included, such as the Covid-19 outbreak, financial crisis, parliament elections, and ISIS emergence are not significant. In contrast, the internal conflict, oil export, and oil prices are substantial effects on the index of the Iraq stock exchange from (2004 to 2021); researchers in the literature have neglected this market due to its novel establishment after (2003). Moreover, the market capitalization still considers very small compared to the regional financial markets. The study contributes to the existing knowledge because most studies on stock market determinants consider political, economic, democratic, or governmental factors. In contrast, here, most elements included using new measurements, such as the internal conflict by cutting off the financial share of the Kurdistan region from the central state budget. Finally, the analysis incorporates the conclusions with straightforward suggestions that policymakers can use, government, investors, and supervisors to control the stock market risk.

Published: January 2023

In this study the environmental problems in the large-scale project called "Ecology of the Angaro-Yenisei region" are addressed. A description of various approaches to assess the program of conservation and restoration of the Yenisei as the basis of the ecological potential of the Angaro-Yenisei region is presented. A justification is given for taking into account the uncertainty in such an assessment. The present study suggests three stages of assessment for different levels, macro-, meso- and microlevel. The estimates of the previous assessment level are the initial information for the lower level, which allows a gradually reduction of the degree of uncertainty. At the first stage, the goals of the program were developed and ranked by expert assessment methods. The second stage consisted in analyzing the National Project called "Ecology of Russia," composed of 11 interconnected federal projects. A mathematical model of the problem of optimal project management in conditions of uncertainty is presented. At the third stage, a hybrid model of assessing a large ecological project from the logical-descriptive model created at the first stage and the mathematical model of stage 2 is considered. Similar models, in the creation of which the authors took part, were used in the assessment of large-scale railway projects. More specifically, with the help of one of them, an analysis of the development of the Asian part of the Russian Federation was carried out by the Siberian branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In conclusion, the need of the use of mathematical methods at various stages of assessing large-scale environmental projects from their initiation to implementation is justified

The positive steps taken since the beginning of the 2000s have brought Kazakhstan's economy ahead of its peers. Making this economic growth sustainable depends on the correct determination of the interaction between economic instruments. Therefore, we aim to determine the relationship between the returns of oil and energy companies traded on the Kazakhstan Stock Exchange (KASE) and the returns of the KASE index, exchange rate, and selected international energy indices. The data were analyzed using the VAR method. Our analysis showed that the two-period lagged value of the KZTO variable, the one-period lagged return of the KASE index in the KZAP variable, the two-period lagged return of the dollar exchange rate and the two-period lagged return of the KZAP in the KEGC variable have positive effects. On the other hand, one-period lagged return of the FTSE CNBC Asia 100 Oil & Gas index, one-period, and two-period lagged return of the ruble return, and one-period lagged return of the Dow Jones Islamic Markets Oil & Gas index were found to have negative effects.

This study measures impact of geopolitical crisis concerning Russia Ukraine War with reference to Sustainable development Goal 8. The researchers have analyzed the variables such as Indian stock market performance, MCX crude oil and Indian GDP Indices to calculate the linear interdependencies among crude oil, Indian stock market performance and Gross Domestic Product using monthly data from January 2016 to May 2022 using a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model. Time series stationarity is checked using Augmented Dickey-Fuller test. The time series used for the analysis are MCX iCOMDEX crude oil Index, Nifty 50 Index, and GDP Index. Correlation is measured using the Granger Causality Test and VAR model.  The outcome demonstrates that the lagged values of the Nifty and crude oil prices indexes are very effectively used to explain the GDP Index. Granger’s Causation Matrix shows that past value of NIFTY Index causes change in GDP Index similarly past value of Nifty Index causes change in MCX Crude oil Index, whereas MCX crude oil does not cause much change in GDP Index. Further research could be done using a detailed time series for a longer period to find any impact of crude oil prices on GDP.

Energy scarcity is the core drain for the South Asian economies. However, there is a lack of studies in relation to the capital structure determinants in the context of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Thus, this study is an attempt to explore the capital structure determinants of energy sector firms which are operating in the four large economies of the SAARC region that are Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. In this context, a total of 34 energy sector firms’ Panel Data is entailed over the period of 2007-2020. The six key capital structure determinants, namely asset tangibility, current ratio, return on equity, non-debt tax shield, annual gross domestic product are examined in relation to debt to total asset ratio. Deploying Panel Data Static models and Dynamic model via Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the outcomes reveal that asset tangibility and current ratio are the most prominent determinants among all others. The significant role of profitability and tangibility through different estimators directly infers the relevance of Dynamic Trade-Off theory. The findings provide new ways for policy makers to construct parallel strategies which not only help out in overcoming the energy scarcity issues but also enhance regional level integration.
The Significance of FDI Inflow and Renewable Energy Consumption in Mitigating Environmental Degradation in Somalia
Authors: Warsame Zakarie Abdi
Published: January 2023

This study explores the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), renewable energy, gross capital formation, population growth, gross domestic product (GDP), and the square of GDP on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Somalia between 1990 and 2019. To investigate the short- and long-run elasticity of environmental degradation and the other variables, the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is employed. In Somalia, the long-run coefficients of the ARDL model indicate that renewable energy contributes negatively to environmental degradation. At the same time, domestic investment and population growth undermine the quality of the environment. Furthermore, the FMOLS results validate the existence of EKC in Somalia. The Granger causality test is also applied to investigate the causal relationship between the variables. Despite this, there was no evidence that FDI and renewable energy are causally related to environmental degradation. Based on our empirical assessment, the Somali government should encourage foreign direct investment, especially in technology-intensive and environmentally friendly industries, and pay increased attention to the improvement and consumption of renewable energy sources.

Indonesia is struggling with utmost pressure to restrict carbon emissions as it is included in those emerging economies who are recognized as highest carbon emitters. Nevertheless, the Indonesian government is showing remarkable effort to reduce the emissions and set a planned goal to achieve low carbon economy. However, the major reliance on fossil fuels to maintain economic growth is creating obstacles for country. To explore that what tools could be helpful in the scenario to support country’s goal. The study intends to measure the role green finance, innovation, agriculture finance and sustainable economic development in gauging carbon intensity. The paper used two indicators to measure sustainable economic development; GDP per capita and renewable energy consumption. The panel data is used in the study which is extracted from 30 provinces of Indonesia in the time span of 2006-2020. The study used OLS fixed effect model and quantile regression technique to assess the relationship between explained variable and explanatory variables. Findings echo that with the increase in economic growth, carbon intensity also starts increasing. However, green finance, innovation, agriculture finance and renewable energy are significant tools to reduce the emissions. Furthermore, confirmation of findings was done through quantile regression analysis. The paper presents several implications as well on the basis of empirical evidence which are of great help for country.

Published: January 2023

This paper is devoted to analyzing the processes that took place in the energy sector of Iran for the period from 2004 to 2021. It is emphasized that for the sustainable development of the country's economy, a reliable, long-term, and economically acceptable supply of various types of energy in their optimal combination is necessary. Despite the territory of Iran having an extremely high potential for the development of non-traditional energy, the analysis shows that the development of the Iranian economy is mainly based on oil revenues. In the context of the growing crisis in the global economy, an increase in demand for oil and oil products, oil accents in energy diplomacy began to intensify, which allows us to speak about the actualization of the problems of developing the oil and gas sector of Iran and shifting the focus towards traditional energy sources. Nevertheless, to achieve sustainable development, along with the possession of a resource base, the availability of modern equipment and technologies, and dominance in the market for products that foreign partners are interested in acquiring are necessary. It is concluded that Iran is vulnerable to geo-economic risks in the current conditions of the development of the world economy.

Published: January 2023

Examining urbanisation and tourism from the perspective of global Sustainable Development Goals is essential for achievinga balance between environmental protection and economic growth in the world's most polluted nations. Moreover, most polluted countries pay more attention to the nature of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows to achieve a sustainableenvironment. This study intends to explore the impacts of FDI, tourism, urbanization, and economic growth on carbon dioxide emissions using panel data for the top ten most polluted nations for the period from 2000 to 2019. To guide empirical testing,the panel unit root tests LLC and IPS are used. The outcomes of LLC and IPS advise FM-OLS application on how to accomplish the goals. The findings provide proof of how FDI and other factors affect carbon emissions (CE). Particularly, renewable energy consumption (REC) has a detrimental but minor effect on CE. For the panel of developing nations, FDI had a favourable and significant effect on CE along with economic growth, tourism, and urbanization. The expansion of cities isalso harming nature and ecological footprints. These findings are alarming as all factors cause CE under consideration thatleads to the deterioration of the environment. Therefore, more environmental rules should be put into place to reduce CE, draw in clean FDI, and encourage quality-oriented investment in selected nations. Second, it is important to ensure the deployment of green technology and the upgrading of urbanized structures. The government can take several actions against the use of polluting goods and vehicles in urban areas, and any polluting industries should also be outlawed in such residential areas.

Published: January 2023

Grain drying is currently still using the traditional method of drying with solar thermal. One of the obstacles to rice production in Indonesia is the problem of the grain drying process. So far, Indonesian farmers still carry out traditional drying, only relying on the solar thermal to dry their grain, so that during the rainy season they will troubled in the drying process. Therefore, a trainer for a grain dryer machine with a small capacity is made so that it can be controlled by PLC and monitored using SCADA. The test results obtained that the weight of the grain before the 1000 gram test was tested with a drying time of 90 minutes, for the water content before drying was 18% after entering the drying process for 90 minutes, the weight of the grain became 927 grams and the water content after drying was 12.5%. At every 10 minutes the average weight loss of grain after the drying process is 5.9 grams and water content is 0.5%.

Published: January 2023

Currently, there are many small business outlets that have opened branches in many places. With the spread of outlets that are far apart, it becomes a problem for the owner to be in a certain place on a display board that is installed at a height in each of his outlets. Display boards that are commonly used as promotional media and usually show product prices/interesting information are running text boards. In some studies there are those who make ESP as an access point, so that it can only be accessed within the range of the access point. So it cannot be accessed remotely. To facilitate this information, in this study, we designed an internet-based mobile text information system using the ESP32 Microcontroller and the Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol, as well as a display board (DMD LED Panel P10). By using an android-based mobile device that is owned by almost everyone and then equipped with the MQTT application, it is hoped that information will no longer be constrained by distance and the absence of a computer device, as well as the limited number of computer operators.

However, it is undeniable that the truck-based method of transporting goods often attracts controversies, such as over-loading and products containing hazardous chemicals. This makes the need for automation of loading goods to trucks so that intentional or unintentional errors such as overloading and damage caused when an accident occurs in the process of loading chemical goods can be minimized. Of the four stages proposed in the automation process, namely (1) Trucks enter the cargo loading area, (2) Measurement of the volume or capacity of the vessel, (3) Calculation of the ideal arrangement of products on the vessel, and (4) The process of loading goods using a robotic devices. This article contains the design process for measuring the volume or capacity of the vessel. The measurement process is carried out using a plus (+) laser module and the steps taken in the measurement process are scanning the vessel that is highlighted using the laser module at several angles using a camera and calculating the length, width, and height of the body using trigonometric formulas. With the automation of loading goods, it is hoped that human intervention in the loading and unloading process can be eliminated so that errors that may occur can be minimized.

The article is devoted to special educational needs and difficulties of Asperger syndrome (AS) students. Asperger syndrome is more and more often diagnosed in Poland. As a consequence, the number of such students in Polish schools is growing. However, the problem is that teachers are not taught how to work and deal with Asperger syndrome and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) students. The aim of the article is to shortly characterise ASD and AS, show the areas of ASD and AS students’ difficulties and give some simple hints of how to behave, what to do and what to avoid in the classroom where these students are present.

The concept of mediation in language teaching and learning, which has been functioning for more than 20 years in glottodidactic discourse, was only clarified in 2018 with the publication of the Companion volume to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which has not yet been translated into Polish. This article is devoted to the ‘mediating communication’, which is part of the mediation activities defined in the companion volume to the CEFR. The first part of the article is devoted to theoretical considerations on the mediation and mediating communication in foreign language teaching, while the second part presents examples of specific exercises aimed at improving the competences in the mediating communication, which were identified as a result of the analysis of eighteen textbooks for French language teaching for secondary schools.

The Piedras Bola Natural Protected Area (ANPPB) is located to the southwest of the municipality of Ahualulco del Mercado andnorth of Ameca in the state of Jalisco. It is part of a mountain system known as Sierra del Águila. The vegetation of this area ismade up mainly of oak forest, oak-pine forest, forest tropical deciduous, and secondary vegetation. Collections of fungal specimenswere obtained during the rainy season in the months of June to October between 2011 and 2018, carrying out 17 explorations. Thematerial is deposited in the fungal collection of the herbarium IBUG. The macro and micromorphological study was carried outwith conventional mycological techniques and the use of specialized bibliography to identify of the species. A total of 692specimens were collected, and 349 of them were identified as species which corresponds to 130 determinate taxa, 116Basidiomycota, and 14 Ascomycota. The type of vegetation with the greatest richness of fungi was the oak forest (91), while thetropical deciduous forest had the lowest number of taxa (12). This work constitutes the first study of mycobiota in the Piedras BolaNatural Protected Area (ANPPB), which facilitates the recognition of the diversity of fungal species observed.

Given the growing importance of the fishing and aquaculture sector (in 2021 the activity generated approximately 300,000 directjobs and 2 million indirect jobs) and the high demand for fish and shellfish, the value network was identified (The value networkallows analyzing to the economic and non-economic actors that participate) of the merchants of the sea market of Zapopan, Jalisco,whose purpose was to identify the leading company, as well as carry out an analysis of the parts of the network, recognize themembers and roles of each one of her. The methodological process consisted of in-depth interviews with important actors withinthe network, as well as the application of the mystery shopper technique within the sea market and self-service stores, in order toobtain information, data, which were later, captured, processed and analyzed. The results indicate the existence of an interesting andcomplex regional and national articulation, due to the number of intermediaries (at least four and up to seven) that touch the productand that have a utility. Eight types of well-defined local clients and from 14 states of the country were determined and classified.The national supply such as sea fishermen, riverside fishermen, estuary fishermen, fish farmers, etc... provide gutted, scaleless andfrozen fish or shellfish. For its part, the international supply supplies seafood or fish fillets, nuguets, in boxes or marquetas by kilos,with a quality certificate, traceability, prepared with some fine herbs or styles and vacuum packed, whose origin is: Vietnam, China,Indonesia. Finally, the degree of duplicity that international suppliers have (for the seafood market and self-service stores) must beconsidered, since in a decade the roles can be reversed and they are left out of the market.

The educational process has experienced impact in its face-to-face modality with the creation of new virtual scenarios supported by technologiesand the way of conducting activities has changed. To adapt to current needs, educational institutions must become more flexible and developways to integrate information and communication technologies (ITs) in training processes, knowledge acquisition and skill development in thefield of education. Within the tools is any device that has internet and at the same time provides information available anywhere and at any time,facilitating communication. The applications must guarantee the quality of the teaching practices carried out by the teacher. The objective of thestudy was to know the use of ITs in the application of activities and the development of skills in students of the Animal Health and WelfareManagement Competition I of Veterinary Medicine. The data obtained show that 100% of the students use technological tools with the Internetto carry out their online activities, homework, practices and integrating projects. However, there are times when they cannot enter due to lack ofinternet connection. 2% mention that not having the internet makes learning difficult. The use of ITs and their application helped thedevelopment of skills, performance and increased self-learning in students enrolled in the subject. The use of technology guarantees interactivework between work teams and at the same time as a means of communication. The platforms also use learning tools as a means of support and arepository of activities. There are disadvantages such as not having enough time, not having internet or data, so teachers must be flexible andprovide help, solve problems and look for alternatives that do not interfere with academic performance.
