Authors: Nurmansyah Ridwan , Nurmayasari Eva
Published: December 2020

Anxiety is a feeling of frustration, being threatened, apprehension, tension, and worry. Anxiety plays role in affecting especially low proficiency level students in learning English particularly speaking skill. This research is aimed to find out factors that cause low proficiency level students’ anxiety during speaking English. This research is designed using descriptive qualitative which involved 10 low speaking proficiency students’ at English Department Program Faculty of Teachers Training and Education in a private university in Bogor as participants. The data were gathered through questionnaire and interview. The result shows there are 7 factors that lead low proficiency level students to anxiety during speaking English. Lack of vocabulary takes first place admitted by 52.6% respondents, followed by lack of preparation stated by 50.5% respondent in second place. Third place sit by fear of making mistakes confessed by 49.7% of respondents. Fourth, there are 49.6% of respondents who felt anxious because of their low English proficiency. Fear of being attention is another factor causing 49.6% of respondent anxious. Lack of practice makes 48.5% respondents feeling anxious in speaking. And the last is the students’ inability to express ideas resulting 45.0% of respondents anxious because they do not know what to say. The finding also shows that the strategy mostly employed by the low proficiency level students to cope with their anxiety in speaking is having better preparation.

“Why I Left BuzzFeed”: Alienation, YouTube, and Creative Labour in the Digital Age
Authors: Yang Victoria
Published: December 2020

Digital media companies on YouTube, exemplified by BuzzFeed, reinforce the perception of employment in the creative industries as an ideal opportunity for young millennials to make money “doing what they love.” In 2016, dozens of videos made by former BuzzFeed employees announcing their departures from the company went viral, challenging this view and granting the public unprecedented insight into the company's labour practices. BuzzFeed thus serves as a valuable case study for digital labour in the contemporary creative industries during a time when formal companies, individual creators, and unpaid users compete for viewership on the platform. This research paper reveals and critically engages with the tradeoffs that creative workers face when negotiating the benefits of working for a company, versus “going independent.” Using Marx’s theory of alienation to analyze “Why I Left BuzzFeed” videos, this paper argues that the option for professional creative workers to become independent creators on YouTube represents a shift towards the ideal of “non-alienated labour.” This article concludes by examining how, despite this shift, independent creative workers are still subsumed under capital.
Narrative Crossroads in Ecuadorian Fieldwork
Authors: Verdad Universidad , Abad Matías , Ullauri Narcisa , Carr Anne
Published: December 2020

The qualitative researcher is often described as a bricoleur who prepares a representation from multiple fragments of documentation yet, always involved in one way or another paying attention to situatedness and its neglected possibilities and temporalities in the web of everyday research life. At this narrative crossroads, fieldwork practices constitute ethnographic concepts composed of both separation and connection and are thus worlding tools that enable political thought and practice beyond the onto-epistemic limits of modern knowledge. In revisiting our fieldwork narratives from the paramo of the Southern Andes and the beach of the Pacific Coast of Ecuador, we begin to explore the neglected epistemic potential from the hands-on agencies of the practical and material consequences of our thinking.

El investigador cualitativo se describe a menudo como un bricoleur que prepara una representación a partir de múltiples fragmentos de documentación, pero siempre, de una forma u otra, prestando atención a la situacionalidad y sus posibilidades y temporalidades desatendidas en la red de la vida cotidiana de la investigación. En esta encrucijada narrativa, las prácticas de trabajo de campo constituyen conceptos etnográficos compuestos tanto de separación como de conexión y, por lo tanto, son herramientas de mundo que permiten el pensamiento y la práctica políticos más allá de los límites onto-epistémicos del conocimiento moderno. Al revisar nuestras narrativas de trabajo de campo del páramo de los Andes del Sur y la playa de la Costa Pacífica de Ecuador, comenzamos a explorar el potencial epistémico desatendido de las agencias prácticas de las consecuencias reales y materiales de nuestro pensamiento.
Narrativa política y de género. La política no se narra en femenino
Authors: Guerrero-Bacuilima Ximena , Avila Caroline
Published: December 2020

Este estudio analiza la presencia de la mujer en política a partir de la regulación electoral, las acciones de participación afirmativa y los resultados en los últimos procesos electorales en Ecuador. Este diagnóstico permite identificar cómo la violencia política, particularmente en la narrativa de género, pone de manifiesto el odio y la confrontación hacia quienes ejercen su derecho de participación política, sólo por su condición de mujer. Para ilustrar este análisis, se revisa el caso “Quiero ser prefecta” con un spot que usa la narrativa de género en la propuesta comunicacional de la candidatura de María Cecilia Alvarado a la Prefectura de la provincia del Azuay. La evidencia muestra que, a pesar de utilizar una narrativa de género con el rol de intermediación de madre y mujer, fue víctima de violencia política por su condición de mujer antes, durante y después de su participación electoral. Se concluye con algunas recomendaciones que permitan reafirmar la participación y el liderazgo político de las mujeres, tanto con acción afirmativa, educación y empoderamiento femenino así como con estrategias de comunicación política.
A note on the exponential Diophantine equation (A^2n)^x+(B^2n)^y=((A^2+B^2)n)^z

Let A, B be positive integers such that min{A,B}>1, gcd(A,B) = 1 and 2|B. In this paper, using an upper bound for solutions of ternary purely exponential Diophantine equations due to R. Scott and R. Styer, we prove that, for any positive integer n, if A >B3/8, then the equation (A2 n)x + (B2 n)y = ((A2 + B2)n)z has no positive integer solutions (x,y,z) with x > z > y; if B>A3/6, then it has no solutions (x,y,z) with y>z>x. Thus, combining the above conclusion with some existing results, we can deduce that, for any positive integer n, if B ≡ 2 (mod 4) and A >B3/8, then this equation has only the positive integer solution (x,y,z)=(1,1,1).
The minimally displaced set of an irreducible automorphism is locally finite
Authors:   Dipartimento di Matematica, University of Bologna, Francaviglia Stefano , Martino Armando ,   Mathematical Sciences, University of Southampton, Syrigos Dionysios ,   Mathematical Sciences, University of Southampton
Published: December 2020

We prove that the minimally displaced set of a relatively irreducible automorphism of a free splitting, situated in a deformation space, is uniformly locally finite. The minimally displaced set coincides with the train track points for an irreducible automorphism. We develop the theory in a general setting of deformation spaces of free products, having in mind the study of the action of reducible automorphisms of a free group on the simplicial bordification of Outer Space. For instance, a reducible automorphism will have invariant free factors, act on the corresponding stratum of the bordification, and in that deformation space it may be irreducible (sometimes this is referred as relative irreducibility).

In this paper we study geometric concepts in a general cubic structure. The well-known relationships on the cubic curve motivate us to introduce new concepts into a general cubic structure. We will define the concept of the tangential of a point in a general cubic structure and we will study tangentials of higher-order. The characterization of this concept will be also given by means of the associated totally symmetric quasigroup. We will introduce the concept of associated and corresponding points in a cubic structure, and discuss the number of mutually different corresponding points. The properties of the introduced geometric concepts will be investigated in a general cubic structure.

If we view the field of complex numbers as a 2-dimensional commutative real algebra, we can consider the differential equation z'=az2+bz+c as a particular case of 𝓐- Riccati equations z'=a · (z · z)+b · z+c where 𝓐=( ℝn,·) is a commutative, possibly nonassociative algebra, a,b,c∈𝓐 and z:I → 𝓐 is defined on some nontrivial real interval. In the case 𝓐=ℂ, the nature of (at most two) critical points can be described using purely algebraic conditions involving involution * of ℂ. In the present paper we study the critical points of 𝓛(π)- Riccati equations, where 𝓛(π) is the limit case of the so-called family of planar Lyapunov algebras, which characterize 2-dimensional homogeneous systems of quadratic ODEs with stable origin. The number of possible critical points is 1, 3 or ∞, depending on coefficients. The nature of critical points is also completely described. Finally, simultaneous stability of the origin is considered for homogeneous quadratic part corresponding to algebras 𝓛(θ).

The aim of this errata is to claim that [2, Theorem 4.5] is not true. This mistake was pointed to us by W. J. Charatonik. In the false "proof" of [2, Theorem 4.5] the authors argue by a false note mentioned by Bing that every continuum which is both arc-like and circle-like is indecomposable [1, p. 121]. A counterexample to Bing's note as well as to [2, Theorem 4.5] is given by two bucket-handle continua joined by their end-points. Another counterexample is described in [3, Examples].

Published: December 2020

La situación económica actual que afrontan los gobiernos autónomos descentralizados, les impide apuntar hacia el diseño y aplicación de modelos de retribución más competitivos que permitan la satisfacción laboral de sus funcionarios. El objetivo de esta investigación fue analizar como inciden las compensaciones salariales en la satisfacción laboral de los funcionarios de los Gobiernos Autónomos Descentralizados Parroquiales Rurales cantón Ambato.  El diseño metodológico es de tipo descriptivo con un enfoque cualitativo, no experimental y transversal. Para el análisis de las compensaciones salariales se aplicó un test psicométrico denominado Escala de Bienestar Salarial y para medir la satisfacción laboral el instrumento Escala de Satisfacción Laboral SL-SPC. Los cuestionarios fueron aplicados a 90 servidores públicos de las 18 parroquias rurales de la ciudad. De acuerdo con los resultados, se determinó que las compensaciones salariales y la satisfacción laboral son dos variables que afectan directamente al desempeño de los funcionarios, así como también a sus sentimientos de realización personal y profesional. Ambas se consideran como un punto clave para que las personas se sientan motivadas y aporten con su mayor esfuerzo en el desempeño de sus funciones asignadas, brindando un mejor servicio y asistencia oportuna. Por lo que, en conclusión, estos hallazgos son importantes para que los altos mandos contemplen el diseño de estrategias que favorezcan las compensaciones salariales y por ende la satisfacción laboral sea favorable en las instituciones. Todo ello, debe estar alineado a lo dispuesto por el Ministerio del Trabajo en cuanto a remuneraciones y escalas salariales para servidores públicos.

La presente investigación tiene como objetivo proponer una herramienta metodología que permita el cálculo crediticio de perdidas esperadas, a través del uso del método simple, dotando a las microempresas un instrumento de análisis de información que permita a la Dirección realizar una eficiente planificación financiera. El estudio es de corte transversal tomando información de fuentes secundarias internas, dentro del periodo de tiempo del año 2019. El método instaurado en el caso se compone de un enfoque cualitativo, en primera instancia, se analiza los datos de naturaleza primaria y secundaria para generar una construcción acorde del marco teórico; con este razonamiento se seleccionó una ficha de entrevista aplicada a los encargados del área contable. Los hallazgos investigativos demuestran que el sector automotriz está conformado por micronegocios que en su mayoría no cuentan con una correcta planificación; el grado de aplicación y conocimiento de la NIIF 9 es carente, debido a que no existe una medición y evaluación precisa de las pérdidas crediticias, que son otorgadas mediante una línea de créditos a la cartera de clientes. La propuesta metodológica se adaptó a la industria de venta de repuestos automotrices, además pretende ser un soporte para la mejora sistemática en el rendimiento contable y financiero del departamento de cobranzas.

The Existence of Positive Solutions of Singular Initial-Value Problem for Second Order Differential Equations-2
Authors: ASLANOV Afgan
Published: December 2020

We consider the singular initial value problem for the second order differential equation. We interested in the existence of positive solutions and proved an easily applicable theorem on the existence of positive solutions to initial-value problems for second-order nonlinear singular differential equations. The previously established result on the existence of positive solution by Agarwal and O'Regan is not easy for the applications due to very complex definition of a new function and their properties in the statement of their theorem. We used the Lebesgue dominated convergence theorem and the Schauder--Tychonoff theorem in the proof of the main result. The main result can be easily applied for the singular and regular type of problems.
Caiçara: a lepra nos destinos femininos

Published: December 2020

O presente artigo refere-se à história da lepra no Brasil observada a partir de um filme brasileiro de 1950, período áureo do isolamento dos leprosos no país e no mundo. A história de uma época flagrada numa peça artística-cultural produzida para o entretenimento, onde se desvela comportamentos e mentalidades que levaram ao exílio sanitário dos leprosos no Brasil. Para compreender tanto o filme quanto o seu enredo procurou-se articular e combinar as recentes pesquisas sobre a lepra no Brasil e no mundo aos estudos feministas, com o objetivo de esclarecer a personagem central que se trata de uma jovem, filha de leprosos isolados, e atingida diretamente pelo flagelo que assolou sua família. A pesquisa objetivou então compreender a história da lepra por uma fonte até então subutilizada pelos historiadores e demais estudiosos do assunto. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, exploratória, bibliográfica e documental realizada em fontes primárias e secundárias, além do próprio filme, que procurou articular a história da lepra as pesquisas sobre feminismo.  Concluiu-se que a lepra durante a maior parte do século XX infundia um medo coletivo incompatível com sua real periculosidade, porém, compreensível a luz da sua longa história de discriminação alimentada por preconceitos religiosos e culturais desde o mundo antigo. Enfim, uma época em que a lepra se revestia de medos e tabus compreensíveis apenas sob a luz de sua longa história. Uma época em que a atual hanseníase ainda não existia, pois estava em gestação.

Published: December 2020

A inserção das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) na escola, trouxe grandes desafios para os professores pois estes veem a sua utilização em sala de aula como uma dificuldade. A utilização de meios visuais, comunicativos, dinâmicos e inovadores, por outro lado, tem despertado o interesse dos alunos pelas aulas de Ciências e consequentemente contribuindo com a construção do conhecimento. Nesta perspectiva, este trabalho visou discutir a relação das TICs no ambiente escolar e se a utilização desses recursos melhora o ensino nas aulas de Ciências promovendo uma aprendizagem significativa. A coleta de dados foi realizada em um curso de formação continuada, onde 62 professores de Ciências responderam um questionário sobre a utilização das TICs em suas aulas. Dentre os aspectos citados pelos professores, a formação para o uso das tecnologias e a falta de equipamentos em boas condições são os principais empecilhos que tem dificultado a utilização das TICs em suas aulas. Apesar de ser uma metodologia bem aceita pelos alunos e professores, ainda falta incentivo, suporte e infraestrutura para que possa ser utilizada largamente e, assim, contribua com a construção do conhecimento científico na Educação Básica.

Allelopathic effects of Parthenium hysterophorus were studied on seed germination and seedling growth of Triticum aestivum, Oryza sativa, Glycine max and Cajanus cajan. The shade dried leaves of Parthenium hysterophorus were soaked in distilled water for 24 hours at room temperature to obtain aqueous extract and sterilized seeds were treated with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% concentration of P. hysterophorus leaves aqueous extract. The germinated seeds were counted every day to observe mean germination time. It has been found that significant time is taken to germinate with increasing concentration. It
has been also observed that germination percentage, root length, shoot length and seedling vigour value were reduced at >2% as compared to control. The 10 % aqueous extract showed the maximum inhibitory effect on seedling growth. In the present
investigation, the leaves aqueous extract of P. hysterophorus had strong inhibiting effects on seed germination and seedling growth. It is necessary to keep this weed under check at the emerging stage at agro crop field so that crop growth constraint may be avoided
GAMBUT LESTARI : AWARENESS SOLUTIONS FOR THE CRISIS OF PEATLAND
Authors: Eltofani Alya Lihan , Ishaq Fauzan , Wijaya Rani Melani Aldina
Published: December 2020

Peatland  reserves one-third of the world's carbon storage. In 1 year it is evaluated that the peatland absorbs and contains 22.5 - 43.5 gigatonnes of carbon, which is proportionate to the outflows of 17-33 billion cars. Looking back on 2015, more than 50% or 2 million hectares of peatlands were burned down causing 220 trillion rupiah loss, victims suffering from respiratory diseases, disconnection of transportation networks and threats to biodiversity. The aim of this paper is to know the strategies used to increase awareness of peatlands and these discoveries appearing the sort of data and information that required prioritization to educate and advance such awareness. The method used for this paper is divided into two for the project planning and data collection instrument. For the data collection instrument, we used the data from third parties. The project planning that we conclude are including gambutlestari.com, pilot, share information, training & education, signing the petition, and donation. Our project planning is encouraging the participation of people to increase the preventive action towards peatlands damage and indirectly fixed the peatlands damage that previously happened. In conclusion, it is a developed system to create the discussion for an educational training program. Hence, each party can embrace in communicating and advancing awareness on the peatland issue. Achieving our goal to be able to increase awareness of peatlands in Indonesia, we provide a one-stop service  called “Push-Sustainable Peatlands” which can be accessed easily by everyone.
SPATIAL MODELING OF THE THREAT OF DAMAGE TO THE PEATLAND ECOSYSTEM IN THE MAINLAND OF BENGKALIS REGENCY, RIAU PROVINCE

Peatlands are the stretch of ecosystem landscape with unique characteristics, both physically, chemically, and biodiversity. Anthropogenic activities in peatland use and disasters pose a threat to the preservation of the peatland ecosystem, which has impacts toward abiotic to the element of biodiversity (biotic). The purpose of this research is to model how the threat of the peatland ecosystem by using spatial data modeling. The method in this research using cloud-based GIS data analysis from Google earth engine, modeling distance parameter to variable modeling of interaction among landscapes on the peatland, and weight sum the value over raster-based spatial layer to determinate the thereat in the peatland ecosystem. The results of this study found zones where hot spots often occur. Modeling with euclidean distance to all modeling variables (except temperature) gives a clear effect on how the threats from each landscape interact with each other. We found that the threat of peatland damage in the high threat class dominates the plantation area reaching 30.9% of the total peatland area, whereas the forest landscape only has a high threat with a percentage of 1.9% and a low threat which the ecosystem is stable and natural reaching over 34.7 %. From this model, we succeeded in bringing up the idea to determine the priority area for policies where need to be done in handling the protection of peatland ecosystems, especially in plantations where the highest percentage of the ecosystem threat is in the high level with integrated peatland management.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PRESIDENTIAL INSTRUCTION (INPRES) NO. 5/2019 IN ERADICATING THE PEATLAND FIRES IN THE KALIMANTAN REGION
Authors: Geyasra Syahrir Roni , Septiana Widiaputri Renate , Reysha Wacanno Sathya
Published: December 2020

The forest and peat permit moratorium is a policy aimed at improving and perfecting the ongoing management of forests and peatlands. The policy also aims to continue efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. This moratorium policy for forest and peat permits was created during the reign of former President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono in 2011 and is extended every two years. In 2019, the policy was ordered as permanent moratorium by President Joko Widodo and formulated in Presidential Instruction No. 5/2019. Since the implementation of the moratorium, there has been a decrease in the rate of deforestation of forests and peatlands in Indonesia. However, forest and land fires still occur, especially in the Kalimantan region. Even in 2019, significant forest and peatland fires have occurred in Kalimantan since a similar incident in 2015. The hotspots of these fires are scattered in various provinces in Kalimantan, disrupting public health due to the thick smoke generated. This study is analyzed using the Theory of Policy Implementation by George C. Edward III. Through policy research, this research is examined qualitatively to analyze the effectiveness of the implementation of Presidential Instruction No. 5/2019 on the phenomenon of peatland fires in the Kalimantan region. The results of this study indicate that there are still weaknesses in implementing Presidential Instruction No. 5/2019 so that it is said to be less effective in eradicating forest and peatland governance.

STRICT LIABILITY: A SOLUTION TO HOLD PEATLAND DESTROYERS ACCOUNTABLE
Authors: Novendra Bayu , Wiryadi Kania Jennifer
Published: December 2020

In 2019, burned forests and peatlands reached 328 thousand hectares. The World Bank estimates that total loss from this event reached 5.2 billion USD. At least, until September 2019, there were 900,000 residents who experienced respiratory health problems and hundreds of schools in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore had to stop teaching and learning activities due to the haze. One of the factors that ‘fertilizes’ problems for destruction of forests and peatlands that continue to grow is difficulty to account the perpetrator. This paper will attempt to answer and solve these problems with the concept of strict liability. This research will answer two problems, how can the concept of strict liability solve the issues for peatland law enforcement? And how does the application of strict liability rules compare with Netherlands and United States? The government has pursued a moratorium policy. Starting from Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 10 year 2011 and extended by Inpres No. 6 year 2013 also Inpres No. 8 year 2015. However, this policy is considered unsatisfactory because there are still forestry and plantation permits issued by the government and massive forest and land burning. Therefore, there needs a solution from a repressive approach to provide a deterrent effect on forest fire perpetrators. Strict liability concept means that the defendant will still be responsible even though his activities were lawful and carried out carefully. Furthermore, strict liability is an accountability that not only eliminates elements of subjective error, but also objectively. Some countries have practiced strict liability, namely the Netherlands and the United States.

Susceptibility to Severe PWSCC (primary water stress corrosion cracking) of LTMA (low temperature mill anneal) Alloy 600
Authors: Kim Sung Soo , Yeob Jung Jong , Kim Young Suk
Published: December 2020

It has been proposed that a primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) in pressurized water reactor (PWR) is governed by a lattice contraction due to a short range ordering reaction in Alloy 600. This leads researcher to think that the kinetics of lattice contraction may control a susceptibility of PWSCC in Alloy 600. A lattice variation with ordering treatment at 400 oC was systematically investigated using high resolution neutron diffraction(HRPD) in high temperature mill anneal (HTMA), low temperature mill anneal (LTMA), and sensitized (SEN) Alloy 600. The results showed that ordering treatment caused an isotropic lattice contraction due to short range ordering (SRO) reaction. The lattice contractions of (111) plane are saturated to be 0.04% in 4 to 1500 hours at 400 oC according to prior treatment condition. The lattice contraction in the magnitude of 0.03% of (111) plane in LTMA Alloy 600 is faster by 8 times and 66 times than that of SEN and HTMA, respectively. This fact may explain why the LTMA is most susceptible to PWSCC through of kinetics of lattice contraction in Alloy 600. Thus, it is possible to conclude that the susceptibility of Alloy 600 to PWSCC is governed by the kinetics of (111) lattice contraction.
Reconstruction and Size Prediction of Prior Austenite Grain Boundary (PAGB) using Artificial Neural Networks

Published: December 2020

To automatically reconstruct the prior austenite grains from as-quenched martensitic structure, we applied a deep learning algorithm to recognize the prior austenite grains boundaries hidden in the martensitic matrix. The FC-DenseNet architecture based on FCN (fully convolutional networks) was used to train the martensite and ground truth label of the prior austenite grain boundaries. The original martensite structures and prior austenite grain boundaries were prepared using different chemical etching solutions. The initial PAGS detection rate was as low as 37.1%, which is not suitable for quantifying the basic properties of the microstructure such as grain size or grain boundary area. By changing the weight factor of the neural net loss function and increasing the size of the data set, the detection rate was improved up to 56.1%. However, even when the detection rate reached 50% or more, the quality of the reconstructed PAGS was not comparable to the analytically calculated results based on EBSD measurements and crystallographic orientation relationships. The prior austenite grain size data sets were obtained from martensite samples via the FCDenseNet method, and had a linear correlation with the mechanical properties measured in the same samples. In order to improve the accuracy of the detection rate using neural networks, it is necessary to increase the number of neural networks and data sets.
Manufacturing CuxZn1-xS Photocatalysts and Their Solar H2 Production Characteristics with Varying Cu Content
Authors: Kahng Soojin , Kim Jung Hyeun
Published: December 2020

Solar water splitting is an attractive method for producing hydrogen from renewable natural resources, and heterostructure photocatalysts have been widely investigated for photocatalytic applications. Hetero-component photocatalysts can reduce the charge recombination process by improving electron utilization, and are considered promising candidates for solar water splitting. Amongst various heterostructure systems, combinations of copper and zinc have been advantageous for constructing efficient band potential energy systems. In this work, CuxZn1-xS composite photocatalysts were solvothermally prepared with various copper contents. The morphology of the CuxZn1-xS photocatalysts was examined using scanning electron microscopy, and the crystalline structures were established with an X-ray diffractometer. Atomic analyses of the surface components of the photocatalysts were performed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy were also used to examine the efficiency of the photocatalysts’ light responses. Brunauer Emmett Teller analyses were employed to characterize the surface area and pore volume of the photocatalysts. Among the various CuxZn1-xS compositions, the highest H2 production rate was determined to be 1122 µmol g-1 h-1 from the Cu0.03Zn0.97S photocatalyst. This highest H2 production rate is strongly related to the observed efficient light absorption, and its influence on charge generation. The improvement is mainly attributed to the optimized charge separation and utilization, high visible light absorption, and high surface area of the photocatalyst.

The article deals with the economic crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in Brazil, and how Brazilians were surprised by the fact, which clearly affected the financial condition of part of the population. The objective here is to present the relationship and influence of the social and cultural symptoms of the pandemic as catalysts for changes in the financial conduct of the population. The methodology used was the use of data collected digitally from the research made by Xpeed, made available by the Locomotive Institute. It justifies conducting a study like this, the oscillation of the Brazilian's financial conduct, which has been widely reported in the media during social isolation. The partial results show that, although financial knowledge is limited, 90% of Brazilians said they were interested in learning more about investments and financial education. The main bibliographic contribution used derives from the referenced material, taken from the InfoMoney website.
Kompetenta flickor med förmågor

Den här studien analyserar tolv barnböcker som är tänkta att upplysa både barn och vuxna om barns erfarenheter av att ha en neuropsykiatrisk diagnos eller att vara högkänslig. Utifrån en poststrukturalistisk ansats och problematisering av några barndomssociologiska begrepp, undersöks här subjektsformering av känsliga flickor och funktionsvarierade barndomar. I böckerna är funktionsvariationer främst gestaltade som förmågor. Samtidigt handlar berättelserna om hur man ska hantera de utmaningar som barnens socialt problematiska beteenden och lidanden medför. Barn förstås både som kompetenta och sårbara aktörer – subjekt i varande och blivande. Analysen visar att ett idealt medborgerligt barnsubjekt produceras i böckerna. Denna typ av kompetenta och medgörliga barnfigur deltar i de beslut som fattas kring hennes kropp och liv. Hon uppvisar ett självreflexivt förhållningssätt och en positiv inställning till de insatser som ofta åtföljer en diagnos, som att bekänna den och engagera sig i terapi. Genom identifikationsprocessen blir flickorna subjekt som hanterar sina beteenden och känslor på diagnosens premisser och därigenom omdefinierar sig själva.
