Published: July 2022

Introduction: The psychological impact of experiencing the pandemic of COVID-19 on the general population is not yet fully evidenced. The same occurs when analyzing the issue in specific audiences, such as adolescents. Goals: This study aimed to identify self-care behaviors and feelings of Brazilian adolescents during one of the moments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This is a qualitative study with the participation of nine adolescents from a public school. The data were collected using the diary technique. Diaries prepared by the researchers were filled out individually by the adolescents for 30 days. The data were treated descriptively and according to the assumptions of thematic analysis. Results: Two themes were constructed in the data analysis: 1) Understanding of self-care and mental health; 2) Experiences of self-care. Participants were found to have a good understanding of mental health and the need to adopt self-care behaviors during the COVID-19 pandemic. Journal entries revealed practices of physical activity, balanced and healthy eating, as well as seeking specialized support or from friends. Negative, but also positive feelings and aspects were mentioned by the participants as related to the pandemic moment. From the records, it was verified that stress control measures, eating habits, virtual communication and moments of reflection were care measures to control the negative feelings or experiences during the data collection period. Conclusions: The results obtained reveal that the methodology used – journaling technique – allowed the participants to record their routine and, at the same time, reflect on the moment they were experiencing. These aspects are important in that the pandemic had not yet been overcome at the time of data collection and few studies had verified the behaviors and feelings of adolescents.

Since the 1990s, there has been a significant increase in the Homeless Population (PSR) in the centers of large Brazilian cities. Main Goal: To understand the experiences of the elderly living on the streets about the main facts that marked their lives. Methods: This is a qualitative study in the modality of life history carried out from the report of elderly people living on the streets in a medium-sized city in the interior of São Paulo. Results: Eight elderly people were interviewed, seven males and one female. It was identified in relation to the age group that all the elderly interviewed were in their sixties, one being 62 years old; two 64-year-olds; two aged 65; one 67-year-old and two 68-year-old. From the narratives of the homeless elderly, it was possible to observe an existence of intense suffering that began in childhood. It was possible to capture essentially that their stories were marked by suffering, losses, rejection and mistreatment, absence of affective bonds, lack of family support, in addition to being permeated by the use of illicit drugs, abusive use of alcohol, incarceration, hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital and informal work. Conclusion: It appears the need to reduce the vulnerabilities to which they are exposed, as well as guarantee them a dignified life with future expectations through intersectoral public programs and policies in the health area, social assistance, housing, work and education, in order to combat exclusion processes and meet the real needs of this population.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: This research paper discusses the practice of psychotherapy using technological devices. Known as online psychotherapy, the possibility for psychologists to provide aid through cell phones and computers mediated by the Internet is an alternative method that has existed for many years, thanks to the accelerated advances of technology worldwide. With the emergence of COVID-19 pandemic and considering the recommended guidelines by the WHO, online psychotherapy emerged as a viable alternative for psychologists and psychotherapists, making it possible for professionals to adapt their work to continue the objective of mobilizing subjective senses. Goals: Based on González Rey’s Theory of Subjectivity, this research aimed to inquire into the use of technological devices to carry out online psychotherapy sessions and its implications for future practices of psychologists and psychotherapists. Methods: Based on the foundations of Qualitative Epistemology and using the constructive-interpretative method, virtual meetings were held through Google Meet. The meetings were recorded and transcribed to gather information and build hypotheses and raise several considerations on the difficulties in changing working habits, on the need to overcome the challenges imposed by these changes, and the commitment to the profession and the patient. Results: The research has shown that online psychotherapy is an efficient way to help improve patients' mental health, but it still faces challenges, such as: adapting ways of working, overcoming prejudices, and adhering to the virtual environment. Conclusions: Online psychotherapy, with advantages and disadvantages presented in this paper, is still a process that is being subjectivized. Despite its relevance under the pandemic, the modality requires further elaboration and methodological inquiries for its use in other atypical situations.

Effective communication among healthcare professionals while sharing clinical information is crucial to ensure the safety of care. Adverse events occur as a result of communication failures. Goals: To understand nurses' perception of the handover in an emergency service, taking into account the continuity of health care. Methods: A qualitative, exploratory study, developed in a medical-surgical emergency department in the northern region of Portugal. Use of a non-probabilistic convenience sampling consisting of 14 nurses, including general and specialist nurses, with minimum experience of a year in the emergency service. Data were collected between April and June 2021 through a semi-structured interview. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis, with mixed categorization. Data analysis has been done according to Bardin's assumptions and was aided by the MAXQDA 2020 Analytics Pro software. Results: Five categories were evidenced - "security of the transition of care", "continuity of health care", "valorization of autonomy", "formative role of the transition of care”, "confidentiality of information” – which integrate the theme "importance of the transition of health care". Conclusions: The main conclusions are: i) the transition of care in the emergency service is influenced by the patients’ influx; (ii) the information handed over is crucial in order to determine priorities and the continuity of care; iii) regarding the information to be transmitted, the biomedical model is still dominant; iv) the transition of care should assume a formative role within the nursing team; and v) the confidentiality of clinical information is a challenge to healthcare professionals.

Introduction: Due to its importance for the teaching-learning process, nursing supervision during clinical teaching cannot be undervalued, even in a complex situation such as that of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, due to the risk of compromising the students' socialisation, teaching and assessment process, hindering the integration of theory into practice. Goal: to understand whether the participation in extracurricular activities, which involve a partnership between the nursing school and the hospital, promotes the integration of nursing students in the services where clinical training takes place. Methods: qualitative study. The participants were 13 nurses involved in a project of knowledge transfer to the clinic, in the last semester of their degree. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews between December 2020 and April 2021. Content analysis of the findings was supported by software. Study approved by an Ethics Committee. Results: The following categories emerged: Integration and participation; Motivation; Collaborative work; and Belonging. The feeling of belonging emerges progressively with the integration, opportunities for participation and collaborative work with the clinicians around a goal that is common to all - the knowledge translation project taking place in the service. Conclusions: the existence of an extracurricular activity, with the involvement of researchers, teachers, clinicians and students and with objectives common to all, facilitates integration, increases participation in the service, generates learning opportunities, both in the project and in clinical teaching, allows collaborative work, motivates the student, creates a sense of success and makes them feel they belong to the service.

Introduction: The critical environment and the routine within these units are comprised of factors that can impair the maintenance of cognition. Accordingly, interventions guided towards cognitive stimulation in the Intensive Care Units become a priority and the nursing team stands out in the execution of these interventions, once it is the category that has the greatest participation in the care of the elderly patient. Objective: To identify nursing care aimed at cognitive stimulation of elderly people in intensive care. Method: Qualitative study carried out in two intensive care units of a hospital in Salvador-Bahia-Brazil, between December 2019 an February 2020. The collection took place in two phases: medical records of elderly people hospitalized in one of the units, focus group with the nursing team of both units. Bardin analysis was used. Results: Six categories were identified, 1) nursing care related to mechanical restraint due to agitation and risk of falling; 2) family related nursing care; 3) nursing care for self-care; 4) nursing care for communication and orientation regarding time and space; 5) nursing care for sleep and rest; and 6) nursing care in pain management. Conclusion: The nursing team performs actions to stimulate cognition, but in a punctual way, from spontaneous and individual motivations, little recorded in medical records. It is important to develop educational strategies and develop protocols to improve care practice in Intensive Care Units related to the cognitive stimulation of the elderly.

Introduction: Learning clinical judgment in initial nursing training is essential for nursing practice. Clinical judgment integrates previous clinical experiences, knowledge and skills development from multiple learning modalities. As a clinical context with varied situations, clinical teaching provides opportunities for the development of clinical judgment that is indispensable for decision-making in the care process. The pandemic lead to changes in nursing education, among them, the limitation of students' access to clinical teaching places. Likely causing some interference in the learning of clinical judgment. Goals: To describe the importance of learning clinical judgment in clinical teaching and to identify the factors that interfere with this learning, during a pandemic. Methods: A qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive study, whose data collection strategy was an online focus group with 6 students in the last clinical teaching of the Degree in Nursing. Data analysis was performed by content analysis according to Bardin using webQDA® software. Results: The “Essence for Action” category, with 15 registration units, emerged as the most valued in the “Contributions of Clinical Judgment Learning to Clinical Teaching” dimension. The category “Learning Environments”, with 23 recording units, was the most valued in the “Factors that Interfere with Clinical Judgment Learning” dimension. Conclusions: Clinical judgment is considered by nursing student as fundamental for individualized nursing intervention. It appears that the context in which the student's clinical experience took place had a great impact on the learning of clinical judgment, with the pandemic being considered a challenging factor in the context of learning.

Introduction: Despite advances in health services in providing prevention technologies, the incidence of HIV in the Brazilian population continues to increase, especially in males. In view of this finding, it is possible to observe the difficulty that these people face in their daily lives in relation to treatment and support networks. Thus, this research started from the following question: “What are the experiences and meanings of being diagnosed and living with HIV and the implications for everyday life?” Objectives: To understand the feelings of men living with HIV. Method: Qualitative research, carried out through semi-structured interviews with 35 men who are monitored at a Specialized Assistance Service for HIV/AIDS in the interior of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The contents of the interviews were submitted to content analysis, in the thematic mode. Results: The analysis made it possible to emerge three themes related to feelings, namely, fear, guilt and loneliness. Conclusion: The serological condition brought the need to deal with different situations, and the reorganization of this phase leads to a change in the meaning of life. It was identified as a learned knowledge that HIV has no face, thus, the relaxation of protection measures are practices that should not occur, although they are neglected. Health education was considered a powerful strategy to expand knowledge for disease prevention and health promotion, especially with regard to the transmission of HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. In this sense, the importance of bonding and welcoming health professionals was highlighted.

EHealth technologies contribute to strengthening parental care practices for premature babies, involving issues related to feeding, swallowing, orofacial motricity, hearing and language. Despite the large amount of information and applications available, there are considerable variations in the quality, usability and credibility of these resources. Goals: Conduct an integrative review on eHealth technologies aimed at parents for premature babies´ care. Methods: Research was made on important databases (Capes, EBSCO, BVS, PubMed, Scholar and Scielo), seeking publications from 2011 to 2021, in Portuguese and English, aligned with the guiding questions to investigate the use of eHealth technologies to promote health education focused on the care of premature babies and health promotion strategies and resources aimed at the parents and families of these babies. Eight articles were selected in the first stage of the review and another 11 in the second stage, totaling 19 scientific productions. Results: After reading, a qualitative analysis (content analysis in thematic modality) was held and the following themes emerged: eHealth technologies as tools for communication and education in maternal and child health, strategies for care and health promotion of parents and premature babies based on eHealth technologies, and the need for evaluation and validation for the use of eHealth technologies in maternal and child health. Interventions with eHealth technologies in maternal and child health have been gaining ground in studies that suggest that this type of intervention is important and of increasing clinical and scientific relevance, with ample possibility of application at different levels of care. However, such tools require studies that evaluate the applicability, advantages and limitations. Conclusions: Properly validated eHealth technologies can be used to assist parents in health promotion and care for the premature baby after hospital discharge, contributing to the transformation of health systems and the solvability of practices.

The high rates of cesarean sections in Brazil have generated risks for the binomial when performed indiscriminately and without clinical indication. Objective: To identify the reasons that led pregnant women and parturients to opt for cesarean section according to the literature. Methods: This is an integrative review. Inclusion criteria for: articles were those that answer the research question, published in Portuguese or Spanish, between 2010 and 2020, fully available online. Exclusion criteria were systematic or integrative review and others types of publication such as theses, dissertations, memorial and manuals. The databases that were used: The Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) Latin American and Caribbean Literature on Health Sciences (LILACS) and the Nursing Database (BDENF). Results: The reasons that led pregnant women's and parturients to opt for cesarean were: advanced maternal age; cultural patterns such as beliefs, customs and reproduction of family experiences; fear of feeling pain in labor; the influence of the media; higher socioeconomic level; higher education and prenatal care and delivery performed in the private sector. Futhermore, cesarean section is seen by women as a safe choice. The women’s passivity and lack of autonomy in front of the doctor; the fear of changing the body and the process of sexuality; the continuous follow up of the doctor during parturition and the ease of scheduling were also reasons given for the cesarean section. Conclusion: Given these reasons, it’s suggested that health education in a problematizing perspective promoted by about the different types of delivery, will subsidize the choice of women, rescuing their leading role in this process.

Introduction: Mobility is a basic action practiced during the execution of general nursing care during hospitalization, however, when it comes to elderly people, this action is usually controversial because it constitutes a risk for falls. Objective: To apprehend the structure of the social representations of the nursing team regarding the mobility of the hospitalized elderly person. Methods: This is exploratory descriptive research with a qualitative approach, based on the principles of the Theory of Social Representations, with a focus on the structural approach. The social group studied was composed of 100 professionals from the nursing team who work in units dedicated to the care of the elderly at a university hospital in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Data collection took place in two moments, through the free word association and unstructured interview techniques. The free word association data were processed by the EVOC software, which determined the structure of the social representation through the four-place table. Content analysis was used for the interviews. The discussion involved the entire research corpus. Results: In the table, considering the frequency and the average order of evocations, the terms “fall, bedridden and care” composed the central nucleus. From the analyses of interviews, three thematic categories emerged: Mobility care involving risks, mobility care, aimed at maintaining independence/autonomy and care to deal with barriers to mobility. For the nursing team investigated, the social representation of mobility is associated with ambulation, with limited movements in the face of the risk of falling, which stimulates autonomy and independence. Conclusion: The structure of the Social Representations on the mobility of the hospitalized elderly person is anchored in everyday situations of the professional practice of the investigated group, evidencing conflicts between promoting prevention/recovery of incapacity through hospitalization and avoiding other health damages due to the risk of falls.

Introduction The homeless population (PSR) is characterized by being a heterogeneous group without a permanent home that spends the night in public places or temporary shelters. In the last decades, this population has been increasing gradually, making it urgent to create public policies aimed at this segment. In this sense, the theorical-methodological guidelines used in scientific productions about PSR are questioned.; Goals; This article aims to analyze the existing scientific production about programs and projects developed with the homeless population. Methods Based on a systematic literature review carried out in the Scientifict Electronic Library Online (Scielo), Virtual Health Library (BVS) and Latin American and Caribbeand Health Sciences (LIilacs) databases, using of booleand descriptors and operators: homeless population AND project. Results Based on the analysis of the 10 selected articles, the results were organized and presented in three categories: social assistance, helath care and public policy management. Conclusions. Thus, there was a tendency to emphasize the need for welfare policies and health care for this population, including trans people and pregnant women. Intersectoriality was, markedly, the strategy indicated as a necessary political guideline for the planning of programs and projects aimed at PSR. The results of this study indicate, therefore, the need to increase scientific production about this population, as well as the creation of intersectoral public policies that go beyond welfare actions, aiming to promote the health and quality of life of these citizes.

Objective: To analyze the social representations of nursing professionals residing in Brazil about the Covid-19 pandemic in the context of mental health. Method: qualitative study with 719 professionals from five geographic regions, using a virtual form. The software IRaMuTeQ®? was used to prepare the empirical material and Thematic Content Analysis, and interpretation in the light of the theoretical framework of Social Representations. Results: Nursing Technicians (20%), Nurses (47.2%), Midwives (0.5%), Professor-Research Nurses (15%), Graduate Nurses (13.4%), Specializing Nurses (13.4%) participated. 3.7%). The SR of nursing professionals are elaborated in the sphere of the precarious work process and in the naturalized experiences of the social construction of the profession, before and in the pandemic context, they are photographs of the reality of a category taken as a machine of a gear and not constituted of subjects of rights. A reality is revealed that has subtracted the possibility of them projecting plans for the future and opens space for the production of mental illness. It is essential to broaden the debate on the daily challenges of the profession so that it is possible to enhance the value of its work, which is avant-garde and its essentiality in health systems, which Nursing cannot ignore. Final Considerations: It was possible to understand that nursing professionals residing in Brazil had been performing their work in a precarious way before the Covid-19 pandemic, and in their practices did not produce major questions. With the pandemic and the risk of contamination, professionals began to look more closely at professional practice and were afraid of naturalized and simplified experiences in the face of not using personal protective equipment. Therefore, they understood that taking care of the other also implies taking care of themselves. This study also reveals that professionals need to re-signify the social construction of the profession and constitute a class consciousness in the face of the mode of production in which they are inserted.

Introduction In an increasingly multicultural world, when interacting with immigrant women, the obstetric nurse seeks to develop intercultural mediation strategies for a culturally competent care Goals To understand the meaning attributed by obstetric nurses to intercultural mediation practices during interaction with migrant pregnant women; Methods Qualitative study, using the phenomenological-hermeneutic method, with phenomenological interviews as data collection instrument. Ten nurses working in the delivery room of a hospital in Greater Lisbon agreed to participate in the study. Qualitative data analysis was used, supported by Nvivo12. This study is part of the project Intercultural Mediators in Health Care Units - MEIOS - Intercultural Mediation and Health Outcomes, developed by the Higher Education Network in Intercultural Mediation, promoted by the High Commission for Migrations, authorized by the CNPD and the Ethics Committee of the Institution where the study was conducted; Results Three categories emerged: Strategies used by the obstetric nurse to become an intercultural mediator" with emphasis on: consolidate cultural knowledge; the category Practices of the intercultural mediator as perceived by obstetric nurses with emphasis on: building bridges between professionals and immigrant women, enabling the obstetric nurse to provide better care, knowing the immigrant woman's culture, enabling the obstetric nurse to understand the immigrant woman's needs, and helping immigrant women to understand the care provided; and, finally, the category Difficulties recognized by the obstetric nurse to become an intercultural mediator with emphasis on the lack of training in relation to cultural diversity and immigration Conclusions. Nurses recognize the importance of the functions of an intercultural mediator in the maternity ward. However, they encounter difficulties in establishing the interaction, which leads them to adopt intercultural mediation strategies to promote culturally congruent care, and better understanding of the immigrant women's needs which will be reflected in higher quality of care, health and well-being.

Research in the Humanities is a field that has been gaining relevance in recent years. However, their production and impact levels are still low. In this sense, this article aims to analyze three categories that correspond to the motivations and competencies of the researcher in Humanities, the strategies for promoting research and publication in the Humanities, and the impact of publications in this area of knowledge. The qualitative approach was used through content analysis. A non-probabilistic sampling of international Humanities expert researchers was carried out. In this study participated seventeen professors from 13 institutions of higher-level education. The webQDA software was used for data analysis. The main results concerning the motivations show that the most relevant for the respondents are disseminating their research (20,59%). Regarding the competencies of the researcher, 33,33% indicated that they do possess these competencies and have a genuine interest in their object of study. Concerning the promotion of research, 30% highlighted that the university offers monetary incentives for publication and different seedbeds to encourage its academics' research. About the impact of the publications, 24% of the researchers pointed out that the natural sciences impose the criteria; and, finally, 76,47% indicated that the H index or the number of citations of a scientific article is not appropriate to assess the impact in the area of the Humanities. In conclusion, these results suggest that Humanities researchers need their scientific and academic production to be evaluated using criteria different from those generally used in science and technology according to the characteristics and nature of their field of study.
The defeat of the left in Ecuador in the extractivism-ecology cleavage
Authors:   Universidad Complutense de Madrid, España, Sánchez Álvaro Ramón
Published: July 2022

Poverty and climate change are the main global challenges of the 21st century and also two interconnected problems. In the second half of the 20th century, new cleavages appeared, such as feminism, multiculturalism, and environmentalism, along with the social class division. The climate crisis creates the developmentalism-environmentalism dimension, which overlaps the classic distinction between left and right, and can be represented in a double ideological axis. The political debate between development and sustainability has advanced in Latin America with respect to other places due to its dependence on extractivism and its biodiversity. The impacts of extractivism have led to the appearance of two criticisms considered to be leftist but with different economic and political strategies and incompatible in many aspects: neo-extractivism and post-extractivism. In the Latin American context at the beginning of the 21st century, the relationship between neo-extractivism and eco-indigenism is complex. The conditions of possibility for the breakup of the progressive bloc are developing throughout the region, but they are especially intense in Ecuador. The division has become visible in the 2021 presidential election, in which the left-wing sweeps in the first round but surprisingly loses in the second one, showing that Ecuador’s politics are incomprehensible without adding the extractivism – post-extractivism dimension. The double ideological axis is an analysis method adaptable to the political systems of more and more countries. In addition, it is not a static tool, but its positions can be altered by political events such as the articulation of a right-wing environmentalism in Ecuador and in some European countries.
Validation/Ratification of the COVID-19 post-pandemic teaching process in higher education through the usage of the SEEQ survey.
Authors:   Universidad de Extremadura, España, Abelaira Triana Arias , Izquierdo Violeta Hidalgo
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the teaching-learning process at all different levels of education, as well as it has changed people's lives around the world. Introduction: We have carried out this research with students of Information and Security, a subject taught in two university degrees at Extremadura University. For that purpose, we have used and analysed the data collected from the academic year 2012-13 to the current year 2021-22. Purposes: By using the validated SEEQ survey, our goal will be to prove whether there has been a significant change in the teaching-learning process since the COVID-19 pandemic in higher education, in particular in the field of Computer and Telematics Engineering. Methodology: A statistical analysis of the results of the SEEQ survey was carried out employing the SPSS programme. For this, all the data collected have been divided into two large groups, one called pre-pandemic (with the data related to the year 2019-20) and the other one called post-pandemic (with the data corresponding to the two subsequent years). Results: The statistical analysis of the data requires the usage of non-parametric tests since the conditions of normality are not met in the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilks tests. Consequently, we have applied the Mann-Whitney U methodology, wherein in all cases, the result obtained retains the null hypothesis, which indicates that the changes are not significant. Conclusions: The general conclusion of this research is that, if the average of all categories of the SEEQ survey continues to increase, this change is not statistically significant. It is also very important to underline that the mean of all categories is above the mean on the Likert scale; in fact, the vast majority are around 4 points out of 5, which is a very positive result.

Authors: Montezano Lana
Published: July 2022

Introduction. For the public sector to be innovative, it is necessary to have professionals with the skills to innovate and generate improvements in the provision of public services. Therefore, it is necessary to define and develop such competences in public servants using research techniques that generate quality and consistent results. Goals. Define the competences necessary for professionals working with innovation in the Brazilian public sector, based on data triangulation as a way to generate a more complete and consistent list from different sources of information. Methods. A descriptive, cross-sectional research with a mixed approach was carried out, the qualitative one with analysis of seven documents, 27 interviews and three focus groups with 14 participants in total, and the qualitative approach with the application of an electronic questionnaire with 674 participants to define and validate the necessary skills with triangulation of data. Data were subjected to thematic content analysis and descriptive and multivariate statistics. Results. 32 competencies to innovate were defined, all of which were identified in interviews, 25 in focus groups and 20 in documental research. All competencies had averages greater than 7, indicating the perception that they are necessary to innovate in the public sector, in addition to having factor loadings greater than 0.80, indicating the excellent quality of the items and internal consistency of 0.990, corroborating the quality of the data. generated by qualitative research. Conclusions. The use of triangulation allowed a more complete list and higher quality in the definition of competences for innovation, considering the advantages of the different collection techniques used, contributing to a greater validity of the results.

As a literary research and considering that there are few investigations that contemplate the study of the difficulties related to the reading deficit in higher education, it is necessary to investigate the subject, in order to favor the understanding of the difficulties that people with reading deficits experience in the university context. As a research method, qualitative research was carried out, in which an integrative review of the literature was developed, in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) databases, using the descriptors prejudice and reading deficit in university students. Thirty-three articles were located and after critical evaluation and verification of the previously established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 28 articles were selected and analyzed. Thus, the conclusions corroborate that, among the several difficulties that can be reverberated in the life of the subject with learning difficulties in the field of reading, the process of social exclusion and the due impact of the one aimed at prejudice can further enhance the conduct of the learning process with respective delays, thereby, assuming that the body and/or intellectual condition of these subjects is something that assumes and/or defines them as less capable than the rest of the general population.

The challenge that academies face in qualitative analysis, development and provision of organized information produced from BIG DATA systems, which is useful for citizen analysis of speeches, messages, dialogues and news geolocated in contexts, is discussed. of pandemic serves to document the feminist marches of March 8 and the women's strike of March 9 of the years 2020, 2021 and 2022, years that marked a before, during and after confinement by COVID-19. This paper shows in a preliminary way, a novel methodological support from which people interested in comprehensive approaches from the social sciences and humanities start their own debate. The discussion, study and analysis of the interactions that we exchange on the network is an issue that has been postponed for more than a decade, and it has been promoted that the work of producing and analyzing high volumes of data does not correspond to qualitative analysis and it is argued that they are exclusive techniques of info-technique in which textual information and trends, themes and hashtags are represented. Today we know that is not so. That the studies of discourse, text and multimedia comprehension also correspond to the field of qualitative methods for which we have the task of being protagonists of issues, initiatives, claims, fears, complaints and struggles around human rights and hacktivism inside and outside the network. Doing so leads us to delve into the most innovative processes and analyzes that have emerged in recent years where we need to take a leap in scale where the great acceleration of the Technocene-Anthropocene debates in the networks the validity of a new "algorithmic governance" associated to the availability of massive data or BIG DATA.

The discussion on innovation ecosystem has been intensifying over the last 15 years and, considering that public services play an essential role for the management of innovation, an approach in which public organizations occupy a central place presents an opportunity for theoretical and empirical advancement in the theme. Using a qualitative and comparative approach, the objective of this article is to characterize the actors involved in the innovation ecosystem in the public sector. To achieve this goal, 224 awarded innovation experiences in the public sector in Brazil and Spain, from 2007 to 2018, were used as the object of content analysis. By applying three principles related to scientific rigor of research - validity, reliability and replicability - the results present a database with a longitudinal description of the phenomenon that consolidates empirical evidence that classifies the actors related to innovation ecosystems in the Brazilian and Spanish public sector. In addition, the data analyzed revealed ecosystems with an endogenous characteristic, as well as variables that translate key elements for public innovation. Furthermore, the analysis provided a repository of information conferred to managers and policy makers, who aim to increase the performance of innovation projects in the public sector.

Fiber is one of the essential nutrients for broiler chickens. This meta-analysis was carried out to investigate the impacts of fiber fraction ratio on broiler chickens growth performance, digestive characteristics, and nutritional digestibility. The database was compiled from 15 publications reports on the addition of fiber sources in broilers feed. To analyze the effect of acid detergent fiber (ADF) / neutral detergent fiber (NDF) ratio, the mixed model technique was utilized, with ADF/NDF ratio in the feed as a fixed effect and the experiment as a random effect. The ADF/NDF ratio in the feed had no effect on average daily gain, average daily feed intake, and feed per gain ratio in this research. Moreover, a decrease in ADF/NDF ratio in broiler chicken feed increased the relative weight of the gizzard. The relative weight and length of the small intestine and cecum were not affected by the ADF/NDF ratio in the feed. The ADF/NDF ratio in feed enhanced ileal digestibility and total tract apparent retention of most nutrients. The ADF/NDF ratio in the feed had no effect on the jejunal morphology. The minimum ADF/NDF ratio of 0.37 in the feed led to the maximum growth performance, digestive tract development, and optimal nutrient digestibility. In conclusion, controlling the ratio of fiber fraction in broiler chickens feed can improve broiler performance in the non-antibiotic growth promoters era.
