Authors: GEDİK BAL Nur , SAVAS Perihan
Published: October 2022

Thanks to technological advances, migration, and globalization, English has become the language of internationalization. Therefore, many schools prioritized learning English to ensure and sustain international communication. However, in order to communicate well with individuals all around the world, bestowing English language learners with intercultural competence is also required in the teaching and learning of English. In Türkiye, one of the countries that host many immigrants, the experiences of foreign language teachers regarding intercultural issues might provide many insights into intercultural language learning and teaching. Therefore, this study aimed to expose EFL state schoolteachers’ perceptions and practices regarding intercultural language teaching and having foreign students in their classrooms. The methods that teachers adopted to promote intercultural competence in their classes were also explored. The semi-structured interviews were carried out with 30 English language teachers in middle and high schools in Türkiye. For data analysis, the computer program MAXQDA was benefited to categorize the codes and reveal the common themes. The findings revealed certain teacher practices that might contribute to students’ intercultural competence development and challenges experienced during that process. It can be concluded that teachers are in need of professional guidance and resources to further develop their learners’ intercultural competence.
Цифровые следы населения как источник данных о миграционных потоках в российской Арктике
Authors: Смирнов Андрей Владимирович
Published: October 2022

Благодаря цифровизации экономики и общественной жизни расширяются возможности изучения населения с использованием цифровых следов – информации, которая накапливается в цифровой среде. В статье с помощью цифровых следов исследуется миграция населения российской Арктики – огромного макрорегиона, который на протяжении последних десятилетий испытывает значительный отток населения. Обобщен опыт применения цифровых следов в демографических исследованиях, названы их преимущества и ограничения. Для изучения населения российской Арктики использовали данные нескольких цифровых платформ. Анализ профилей пользователей социальной сети «ВКонтакте» позволил изучить миграционное движение, а данные сервиса по продаже билетов Туту.ру дали сведения об авиационных и железнодорожных перемещениях. С применением методов сетевого анализа изучены миграционные и транспортные потоки в российской Арктике на муниципальном уровне, выявлены хабы и кластеры в сетях перемещений. Определены особенности миграционных и транспортных сетей Арктики: низкая плотность, большие расстояния между узлами, высокая относительная подвижность при малом числе перемещений в абсолютном выражении, высокий удельный вес хабов в миграционном обмене. Миграционные потоки классифицированы по направлениям перемещений и типам муниципальных образований. Показано, что связность арктических территорий остается низкой, а положительный миграционный баланс имеют в основном региональные столицы, либо города за пределами Арктики. Полученные результаты позволят улучшить понимание миграционных процессов на Севере и в Арктике, повысить качество демографических прогнозов благодаря более точному моделированию миграционных потоков.

Published: October 2022

The most important preventive health services for the individuals, one of the fundamental steps in protection and promotion of public health, is immunization. Vaccination has many benefits for both public health and socioeconomic aspects. Vaccines rank at the top of the most important breakthroughs in public health in the twentieth century. Currently, humanity is afflicted with a new pandemic. Today, humanity is in trouble with a new pandemic. There is no medication known to cure COVID-19 completely. It is currently treated symptomatically. Besides the social struggle such as social isolation, hygiene, mask, distancing, our sole weapon is vaccination and herd immunity. In countries succeeding in vaccinating against Covid-19 in the world, the rates of infection, need for intensive care and hospitalization and death toll are decreased with increases in vaccination rates above a certain level. However, recently, anti-vaccine attitudes, discourses and behaviors have started to constitute the agenda. It is vital to be vaccinated to protect the population from vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. Therefore, vaccine hesitancy, anti-vaccine and infodemic must be combated.
Study on the Nonlinear Effect of Manufacturing Agglomeration by Carbon Emissions : Application of Semi-parametric Spatial Autoregressive Model
Authors:   Korean Academy Of International Commerce, Inc., Wu Zhen , Kim Hyun-Chung
Published: October 2022

Purpose : This study examined the non-linear effect of manufacturing clusters on carbon emissions using the semi-parametric spatial autoregressive model. Research design, data and methodology : This study calculated the manufacturing specialization and diversification agglomeration index according to the region in Korea for 17 regions and 25 manufacturing fields in Korea from 2013 to 2019. Considering the impact of manufacturing agglomeration on carbon emissions, the non-linear effect of manufacturing agglomeration on carbon emissions was examined using a semi-parametric model for the effect of manufacturing agglomeration on carbon emissions. In addition, considering the spatial fluidity of carbon emissions and policy imitation of neighboring regions, this study constructed a semi-parametric spatial autoregressive model considering the spatial interactions between individuals. Results : An analysis of the carbon emission reduction effect according to the manufacturing cluster type showed that, the effect of a specialized cluster on carbon emission was an N-shaped structure. In the early stages of specialization integration, the action of promoting carbon emission is weakened as the level of integration increases and gradually suppresses carbon emission. The effect of the diversification of the manufacturing industry on carbon emissions was found to be a distinct inverted U-shaped structure. In the early stages of diversification and integration, carbon emissions increased strongly, and carbon emissions were gradually suppressed as the level of integration increased, Diversification agglomeration in the manufacturing industry had a greater effect on suppressing carbon emissions than specialization agglomeration. Conclusions : Attention should be paid to the relationship between the expansion of production scale and carbon emission in large and relatively mature manufacturing specialization clusters. The expansion of the production scale mat weaken the eco friendly effect of technological progress. In the early stages of diversification and agglomeration in the manufacturing industry, attention should be paid to improving resource use efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. While diversifying the agglomeration areas, it is necessary to promote the rational use of existing resources by improving public infrastructure within the industrial complex. Comprehensively, policies should be set to maintain the functions of various related industries, enhance the energy efficiency, and lower carbon intensity through process improvement.

Competencia minera: Los mecanismos competitivos de adjudicación de áreas mineras en América Latina y el Caribe
Authors: Gutiérrez Marta , Sucre Carlos G.
Published: October 2022

Esta nota hace una revisión sistemática de los mecanismos competitivos de adjudicación de áreas geográficas con potencial minero a ser exploradas y/o explotadas que usan países de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) donde la industria minera tiene una alta importancia en su economía y desarrollo. La competencia en la asignación de áreas mineras es una práctica relativamente nueva para la industria tanto en ALC como en otras latitudes. Tradicionalmente, la práctica de la industria minera ha sido asignar estas áreas mediante el principio de primero en el tiempo, primero en el derecho es decir: el primer interesado en solicitar una concesión o título minero de exploración y/o explotación a la autoridad competente es a quien se le otorga, si cumple con los requisitos mínimos exigidos por las normas vigentes y aplicables. Algunos países en ALC han empezado a desarrollar esquemas para asignar los derechos de exploración y/o explotación basados en competencia entre varios actores interesados y criterios de capacidad de éstos para desarrollar un depósito minero, sin privilegiar necesariamente a aquel que realice la solicitud del derecho con mayor prontitud. Esta investigación repasó todos los esquemas de asignación de áreas mineras en vigor en ALC y encontró que en Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, México y Perú se utilizan actualmente modalidades competitivas en coexistencia con la tradicional primero en el tiempo, primero en el derecho . Esta nota hace entonces una revisión y evaluación comparativa, detallada y esquemática de los modos de asignación competitiva que se usan en estos países. Encontramos que aún parece temprano para decir si la competencia en la asignación de áreas para exploración y/o explotación minera reemplazará al modo tradicional. En cambio, pareciera que la decisión de gobernanza minera emergente en los países de ALC es la de la coexistencia de ambos modos, en atención a la dotación y conocimiento de los depósitos minerales de su territorio, así como a las capacidades institucionales, financieras y técnicas particulares de cada uno de ellos para identificarlos, explorarlos y aprovecharlos.
Guía para periodistas: sobre cambio climático 2022
Authors:   Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo
Published: October 2022

Desde hace décadas, los periodistas ambientales trabajan para aumentar la visibilidad de la crisis climática que enfrentamos. Ya lo hacían cuando el tema todavía no llegaba a las portadas de los medios, las empresas no tenían áreas de sostenibilidad en sus organigramas y las figuras políticas no se pronunciaban al respecto. No sólo abrieron camino en la sociedad, sino dentro de las propias salas de redacción. No lo hicieron solos, sino dando voz a fuentes solventes como la comunidad científica y las ONG que trabajan en el área. Hoy, la conciencia ante la amenaza que supone el cambio climático se encuentra más extendida, y los medios de comunicación le dan espacio en sus programaciones, páginas web y redes sociales. Sin embargo, los periodistas que lo cubren siguen enfrentando viejos y nuevos desafíos. Su labor se transforma a la par del periodismo: los formatos tradicionales ceden ante nuevas maneras de conectar con las audiencias, como los contenidos creados para redes sociales y con un marcado componente visual. Y las audiencias, a su vez, se ven abrumadas por la urgencia y el pesimismo de las noticias sobre la crisis climática o, en el otro extremo, desconfían de la información ante la avalancha de las "fake news". En este escenario, los periodistas de América Latina y el Caribe cumplen más que nunca un rol cívico fundamental. Aprenden e interpretan el conocimiento que produce la ciencia para volverlo accesible. Cubren negociaciones técnicas para que la ciudadanía pueda ser partícipe del proceso de toma de decisiones de la política pública regional e internacional. Experimentan con los formatos para encontrar maneras innovadoras de conectarse con sus audiencias. E invitan a la acción para que todos seamos protagonistas de la que quizás sea la transformación de este siglo: la descarbonización de nuestras economías.

Authors:   Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, Department of Allied Medical Sciences, Jordan University of Science and Technology, Irbid 22110, Jordan, Haddad Mera F.
Published: October 2022

AIM: To investigate knowledge, risk perception, and attitude towards corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and infection control measures among optometrists in Jordan.
METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was distributed through social media platforms to optometrists registered with the Jordanian syndicate and Jordanian association of optics. Information on participants’ socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge of clinical features of COVID-19, risk assessment and infection control measures for preventing disease transmission were collected.
RESULTS: A total of 135 optometrists (80 females and 55 males) with a mean age of 32±10y responded to the survey. Most optometrists were aware of COVID-19 symptoms, modes of transmission and measures for preventing COVID-19 and transmission in the ophthalmic setup. However, more than half of the optometrists did not receive any training about protection or infection control by their employers at their work place. Social media was the most common source of information on COVID-19 (76%). Most optometrists (85.2%) thought that the virus could be detected in tears, and 45.9% thought that red eye is a symptom of COVID-19.
CONCLUSION: Optometrists in Jordan are aware of the clinical features and preventive measures related to COVID-19 infection. However, training on infection control is lacking and needs to be improved. Guidelines by international professional optometric associations should be promoted through regional and national associations to all registered optometrists and access to peer review. Journals should be encouraged to ensure that the knowledge about the pandemic is up to date and accurate.

Published: October 2022

AIM: To investigate the effects of micro-injection of botulinum toxin A (BTXA) on acute acquired comitant esotropia (AACE).
METHODS: A total of 33 AACE patients who underwent BTXA micro-injection at Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from September 1st, 2019 to July 1st, 2021 were retrospective analyzed. Esotropia, eye alignment, stereopsis, and complications were examined at baseline (except complications), 1wk, 1, 3, and 6mo after injection.
RESULTS: The average angle of deviation before injection was (+20.24±6.80)Δ at near and (+24.76±6.43)Δ at distance, while (+5.15±5.85)Δ at near and (+7.30±6.17)Δ at distance 6mo after treatment (P<0.05). Six months after injection, the stereopsis of patients had improved. The number of patients having no stereopsis (>800 seconds of arc) decreased from 11 to 3. The number of patients having peripheral stereopsis (300-800 seconds of arc), macular stereopsis (70-200 seconds of arc) and central concave stereopsis (≤60 seconds of arc) increased from 10 to 11, 10 to 12, and 2 to 7, respectively. At the follow-ups at 1wk, 1, 3, and 6mo after injection, success rates were 96.97%, 96.97%, 93.94% and 87.88%, respectively. One week after injection, two patients (6.07%) showed subconjunctival hemorrhage; three patients (9.09%) showed limited eye movement and one patient (3.03%) showed mild vertical strabismus. All the symptoms disappeared by the final follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Micro-injection of BTXA can reduce diplopia and improve binocular vision function of AACE patients. Furthermore, the operation is relatively safe with few complications, making it an ideal treatment modality for AACE.

Measuring Regional Innovation Efficiency in China using a Dynamic Network DEA Model
Authors: Wang Qian , Zhang Qinqin
Published: October 2022

With the explosive growth in R&D investments and patent applications in recent decades, has China truly achieved improved innovation quality? To answer this question, it is necessary to correctly estimate China’s innovation efficiency. However, when measuring innovation efficiency, the dynamic and network features of the innovation process are seldom considered simultaneously. Therefore, this paper employs the method of dynamic network data envelopment analysis to estimate the overall, period, and sub-stage innovation efficiency of China’s 30 provinces between 2012 and 2016. We conclude that: (1) There is a regional imbalance in the overall scores, for example, developed provinces are more efficient than less developed areas. (2) The period and sub-stage values are not high in each period and represent a gap among the various provinces. (3) For most provinces, scores in the R&D stage are higher than those in the commercialization phase, indicating an uneven distribution of the innovation structure. Accordingly, policymakers should focus on innovation efficiency indicators, encourage innovation according to local conditions, and facilitate the long-run enhancement of both R&D and commercialization.

Authors: Pratiwi Renny Amalia , Nurmaini Siti , Rini Dian Palupi
Published: October 2022

Melanoma causes the majority of skin cancer deaths. The population level of melanoma has increased over the past 30 years. It kills around 9.320 people in the US every year. Melanoma can often be found early, when it is most likely to be cured. Medical diagnoses using digital imaging with machine learning methods have become popular because of their ability to recognize patterns in digital images. Image diagnosis accuracy allows disease cured at an early stage. This paper proposes a simulation that can be used for early detection of skin cancer that can help dermatologists to distinguish melanomas from other pigmented lesions on the skin. Some researchers have developed a system using machine learning algorithms used to classify skin lesions from dermoscopy images of human skin. In this study, we proposed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to our model. CNN is very efficient for image processing because feature extractors can be optimized, applied to each feature image position. The results of skin lesion classification of benign nevi and melanoma based on CNN models produces high accuracy (area under the receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) is 92.59 %, sensitivity is 89.47%, specificity is 100.0%, precision is 100 % and F1 score is 94.44 %).

Authors: Oktarina Yurni , Dewi Tresna , Risma Pola
Published: October 2022

The current pandemic situation insists that people find a way to create a physical distance, limiting the number of people in a closed room. The human need for commuting has led to the idea of an automatic transport system that can transport people and goods without the assistance of a driver. This idea can lead to a new "normal" and reduced cost of manufacturing in the industry. The paper discussed the concept of an automatic transport system using a weight sensor. An automatic vehicle is designed to transport loads of different packages and be allocated automatically based on the weight of the package. The system is designed to be as simple as possible to increase the scope for implementation.

Published: October 2022

The physical and chemical characteristics (salinity, temperature, pH) in algae mats of hypersaline Sivash Bay (Crimea) were studied. They were formed in the coastal waters of the bay and influence alive community condition. A significant tendence of the pH increase in the direction of shore-clear water was noted. This represents an improvement of oxygen conditions in the said direction. Heterotrophic and denitrifying bacteria had been isolated ubiquitously. The presence of a significant negative correlation between pH of th e water and the number of heterotrophic bacteria was noted. A slight negative correlation between pH of the water and the number of denitrifying bacteria was determined. Thus, there was a tendency for the inhibition of these bacteria groups’ growth by high pH. Salinity, in the range of its change (60.8–94.5 ‰), hadn’t a significant effect on the abundance of the studied groups of bacteria. In the detected range of temperature (23 –32 ˚С), it was impossible to assert the presence of a close relationship betwe en these parameters. In algal mats, there was a community of poor diversity. The macrocomponents were represented by Artemia salina (Linnaeus, 1758) and larvae of Chironomidae sp. Salinity in the studied range of values hadn’t affected the abundance and biomass of the components of the macrozoocommunity significantly. At the same time, a positive effect of changes in water pH on the abundance and biomass of A. salina was noted. This phenomenon for the larvae of Chironomidae sp. not fixed.
MATHEMATICAL MODEL OF EQUILIBRIUM OF THE COLUMN OF COMPRESSIBLE ATMOSPHERE. PART 1: STATIONARY SOLUTION FOR TEMPERATURE
Authors: Radionoff Anatoliy A.
Published: October 2022

An analytical model of mathematical physics, which is implemented for an unbounded column of compressible atmosphere, is discussed. For the column, there are two equilibrium conditions, which are written in the form of a system of aerodynamic equations. The first condition is the classical condition of hydrostatic, which is derived from the equations of motion. The second one is derived from the continuity equation and arises due to temporal variations of air density. Two boundary conditions are selected near the solid surface: one is the magnitude of temperature and second condition is the magnitude of its vertical gradient. This allows us to consider the column without any restrictive conditions at some upper boundary. The analytical solution for adiabatic temperature can contain a sharp minimum at some height, above which the temperature rises with altitude. Herewith the temperature profile depends on the altitude linearly near the surface. The physical interpretation of the solutions based on the data of experimental measurements in the Earth's atmosphere is discussed. The analytical solution can be used to describe adiabatic atmospheric column, which is important for some applications. The research results improve understanding of processes in atmosphere and can be used for scientific and educational purposes.
Regarding marxism
Authors: Panasiuk Ryszard
Published: October 2022

My paper refers to Leszek Kołakowski’s Main Currents of Marxism: Its Origin, Growth, and Dissolution (Oxford: Clarendon Press 1987). Kołakowski’s intention was to write a textbook on the history of Marxism based on his lectures but his book is much more than that. It is a philosophical treatise in which Marx’s doctrine of mankind and the program of its liberation are critically analysed and reinterpreted. The core of Marx’s philosophy is the idea of man and the belief that the real existence of humans is not identical with their essence. Kołakowski shows that this belief is rooted in mythological thinking, the Platonic tradition, and in the Christian thought. A moral that follows from Kołakowski’s critical analysis of Marx’s doctrine is that man has never lived in a paradise and yet he perceives himself as banished thereof; that he will never enter a paradise and yet he cannot live without the faith that this is somehow possible. Therefore, what he should do is to have a minimum of common sense and skepticism related to it, for they would protect him against the traps laid by false prophets repeatedly asserting that they know the means to construct the paradise today or at least tomorrow.

Do Budgeting Practices Affect Saving Behaviour among Small Scale Entreneurs in Kenya? Evidence from Kisumu Central Constituency
Authors: Sarah Komen Chepchirchir , Mule Robert Kisavi
Published: October 2022

World Bank Development Indicators' most recent data reveals that the nation's Gross Domestic Savings as a proportion of gross domestic product(GDP) was 11.09 percent in 2017, 11.64 percent in 2018, 11.25 percent in 2019 and 12.83 percent in 2020. This shows that the country’s domestic savings is increasing but relatively low. As a result of this the country presents a significant development challenge. Individuals need to learn the basic knowledge of financial areas so that people may make knowledgeable financial decisions about how to earn, spend, save, manage, and invest their money. The purpose of this study was to answer if budgeting practices has an effect on saving behavior among small scale entrepreneurs in Kenya. The study's particular objectives were to; establish the influence of monitoring spending, financial planning and tracking spending pattern on saving behavior among small entrepreneurs. The study was guided by Life Cycle Theory and Financial Literacy Theory. Correlational research design was employed in the study. The target population comprised of 914 registered small entrepreneurs in Kisumu town central constituency who have been in business for at least 2 years. The study adopted Yamane sampling technique and obtained 278 respondents. Open-ended and closed-ended structured questionnaires were employed to gather primary data. To test reliability of the questionnaire, the study piloted 28 respondents who were excluded in the final study. The study then used Cronbach’s Alpha to test reliability. The results showed that budgeting practices (α=0.828) and budgeting practices (α=0.870) all had a strong alpha value of above 0.7 which indicates that the instrument is reliable. The study findings revealed that; monitoring spending was significant (β= .376; p=.000˂ 0.05) that is an increase of 1 unit in monitoring spending causes an increase of .376 units in saving behavior, financial planning was significant (β= .333, p=.000˂0.05) that is an increase of 1 unit in financial planning causes an increase of .333 units in saving behavior and tracking spending pattern was also significant (β= .179, p= .000˂0.05) that is an increase of 1 unit in monitoring spending terms causes an increase of .179 units in saving behavior. There was a strong positive and significant association between budgeting and saving behavior thus rejecting the null hypothesis. The study concludes that budgeting practices enhances saving behaviour of small entrepreneurs in Kenya and recommends that small scale entrepreneurs should practice all aspects of budgeting which includes monitoring spending, financial planning and tracking spending pattern should be among small scale entrepreneurs in Kenya. This will enable them to compare what they have spent with regard to what they had planned thereby helping them improve their saving behavior.

Authors: Freed Danielle
Published: October 2022

The issue of flooding in Nigerian cities is relatively poorly documented, despite the significant economic damage and the loss of life it results in each year. The lack of a consistent set of data for informing policy and programming is a well-recognised challenge. Recognising the value of access to a reliable evidence base, colleagues at the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Nigeria office collaborated with the K4D team in drafting a desk review that outlined a deeper understanding of the impact, risk factors and associated management and mitigation factors to urban flooding in Nigeria. Evidence indicates that the report has proved a successful instrument in both providing a foundation for evidence-based action, as well as serving as a tool in which to engage and inspire a wide range of stakeholders.
Inclusive Participatory Research Through PhotoVoice: A Study on WASH and Nutrition in Afar, Ethiopia
Authors: Kelln Jocelyn , Richter Line , Fostvedt-Mills Christine
Published: October 2022

Designing effective interventions requires the inclusion and buy-in of beneficiary communities; however, because of constraints and context, fully participatory research can be challenging. The Afar people of northern Ethiopia live in what can be considered the very definition of 'challenging contexts'. Largely nomadic pastoralists, they navigate a harsh and unforgiving landscape, often having to travel great distances for water. In 2020, FMC undertook a qualitative research study investigating the attitudes and practices of target communities in Afar relating to nutrition and WASH. Using PhotoVoice and community action planning methods, the project sought to ensure that all community members, particularly those most marginalised (women, those with low literacy and little formal schooling), were heard and felt like they had a stake in the research process. This SLH Learning Paper shares the most important findings, discusses the advantages and the challenges of using these methods, and speaks to the potential for their application in other challenging contexts.
Colaboração científica

Diferentes tipos de colaboração (formal e informal) são requeridos na atividade científica das diversas disciplinas e áreas. Por meio de indicadores cientométricos, analisaram-se, de forma mais abrangente, práticas colaborativas (coautorias e subautorias) contemporâneas nas publicações de dois importantes periódicos brasileiros indexados na SciELO, um das Ciências Biológicas e outro das Ciências Humanas, ao longo do período de 2010-2019. Os dados sobre coautoria foram coletados através dos artigos assinados por mais de um autor e sobre subautoria através dos textos de agradecimentos (por apoio material e/ou intelectual) inseridos pelos autores nas publicações. O corpus é constituído por 1.100 artigos, 758 da Acta Botanica Brasilica e 342 da Revista de Sociologia e Política. Verificou-se que, o contexto de comunicação científica (nacionalidade do periódico e da base de dados indexadora) não tem influência direta nas práticas colaborativas, mas sim a orientação da pesquisa realizada em cada uma das disciplinas e áreas. Altos percentuais de coautorias e subautorias (apoio financeiro e técnico/instrumental) identificados na Acta Botanica Brasilica evidenciam a necessidade de diferentes tipos de colaboração (formal e informal) nas áreas experimentais. Os altos percentuais de agradecimentos por apoio conceitual/peer interactive communication identificados na Revista de Sociologia e Política, cujos índices de coautoria são mais baixos do que os índices de autoria única, revelam a importância da colaboração de subautoria dos colégios invisíveis. Conclui que, a inclusão de bases de dados como a SciELO em pesquisas cientométricas é relevante para mapear, desde outro ângulo e, de forma mais abrangente, tipos de colaboração (autorais e não-autorais) na ciência.
arquivos como agentes de memória
Authors: Medeiros Roberta Pinto
Published: October 2022

A proposta deste artigo é discutir os relatórios de atividades anuais do Movimento de Justiça e Direitos Humanos, do período entre 1979 a 2015, a partir da análise de conteúdo de Laurence Bardin. Consequentemente, essa proposta converteu-se em duas frentes de exploração, sendo que a primeira consistiu de uma análise de conteúdo dos relatórios, o que correspondeu às seguintes categorias analíticas: defesas em prol dos Direitos Humanos; atividades condicionadas a Movimentos Sociais (exceto as de defesa em prol dos Direitos Humanos); e promoção e campanhas. Essa primeira análise resultou no enfoque das atividades do Movimento, ou seja, evidenciou seu papel na luta pelos direitos humanos. A segunda parte da análise correspondeu exatamente ao propósito da pesquisa, ou seja, relacionar o papel dos arquivos de movimentos sociais no Brasil, no caso do Movimento, com a memória e os arquivos. Portanto, essa documentação presente no acervo do Movimento faz desse lugar uma ferramenta social e uma fonte de dados e de resguardo da verdade por documentos que têm o caráter de testemunho e de prova de que aqueles fatos ocorreram. Além de ser um instrumento social, o arquivo do Movimento é um lugar que mantém em exercício a memória, evitando que se torne ausente e, consequentemente, se torne esquecimento.

Questiona-se se campanhas brasileiras de crowdfunding para bibliotecas comunitárias objetivam somente o sustento e a manutenção dessas instituições. Tem-se como objetivo evidenciar as demandas para bibliotecas comunitárias em campanhas de crowdfunding na Região Sudeste do Brasil. Empregou-se o método de pesquisa Análise de Conteúdo concomitantemente ao desenvolvimento de uma análise lexicográfica por meio da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente, testando-se hipóteses por meio do teste qui-quadrado. Constatou-se que as campanhas objetivam, além do sustento e da manutenção das bibliotecas comunitárias, o desenvolvimento social local, o incremento da infraestrutura da biblioteca, o acesso aos bens culturais e às atividades educacionais pela população, assim como a manutenção dos projetos sociais de amplo impacto local na Região Sudeste do Brasil. Sugere-se a proposição de uma política pública para bibliotecas comunitárias como caminho para a sua autonomia financeira. Concluiu-se que membros da comunidade podem estruturar ações lógicas que culminem, primeiramente, na ampliação da discussão acerca das políticas públicas para as bibliotecas comunitárias, assim como na consecução de metas para materializar um produto documental oriundo dos debates.
