(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-08-04) GRANHEN, Yana Wanzeller; PEDROSO, Janari da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4096274367867186; http://orcid.org/0000-0001-7602-834X; MAGALHÃES, Celina Maria Colino; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1695449937472051
The context of the global pandemic of COVID-19 emerged the vulnerability of the elderly public from the psychological consequences under the analysis of the Life Span perspective, which understands the developmental trajectory in a continuous, contextual, multidimensional, and multidirectional way concerning genetic-biological and sociocultural influences. The study aimed to investigate the association between socio-demographic factors and symptoms of psychological distress in the elderly during the pandemic context of COVID-19. The research has an exploratory nature and was carried out with a sample of 289 elderly Brazilians, aged over 60 years, recruited through the snowball technique, by virtual means (social networks and e-mail). The results obtained indicated a sample mostly female, with schooling ranging from 13 to 18 years old, Christian-Catholic religion, cohabiting with adult members, family income higher than 1,200 reais and occupation of the retirement type. The most frequent symptoms of psychological discomfort were restlessness, insomnia, muscle tension, and the urge to cry in males, family income between 900 and 1.200 reais, and house size smaller than 50 m²; on the other hand, there was no significant relation between religion, family structure, and the number of persons per family. We conclude that there was a significant association between socio-demographic and psychological factors, which indicates that the elderly focus on emotional type coping strategies, being anxiety symptoms the most prominent which suggests a perception about the loss of control about the future and physical vulnerability facing a stressful context.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-06-13) SOUZA, Jamily Silva; CASTRO, Nádile Juliane Costa de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2532971599666350; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7675-5106
Introduction: Nursing is present on several campuses of the Federal Institutes of Education (IFE), at the service of the academic community; they work mainly in health promotion and in advising teaching, research and extension activities. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, several control and prevention measures were adopted, also affecting educational institutions such as IFE that reorganized their academic and administrative activities in the remote system, also affecting nurses who work in these institutions, with essential actions to guarantee of the health and safety of the school community and have their importance highlighted in the context of the pandemic. Objective: To analyze the performance of nurses in IFE in the North of Brazil in a pre and post Covid-19 pandemic view, considering the regional Amazonic specificities. Methodology: descriptive research with a qualitative approach carried out with nurses who work in community care at the 7 IFE in the 7 States of the North Region of Brazil. Data collection took place between October 2022 and January 2023 with semi-structured interviews following a script divided into two axes: 1) Characterization of the professional profile of the nurses targeted by the research; and 2) The performance of nurses in the pre- and post-pandemic context within their campuses. Data were processed using the IRAMUTEQ software and submitted to content analysis. Result: 20 nurses from 5 Institutes were interviewed. Most of the participants were female, aged between 28 and 37 years and specialists. Most had between 4 and 7 years of service in the institution. The data organized at Iramuteq pointed five classes, later presented in four categories: The Work place and Training, Work before the Covid-19 Pandemic, Work during the Covid-19 pandemic and Current work perspectives. Final considerations: Nurses in the IFE work mainly in health education, in addition to carrying out nursing procedures and advising on student care; during the pandemic, most of these activities were adapted to the remote model and new ones emerged as support in the institution's planning to combat Covid-19. Some difficulties that already existed were aggravated by the pandemic, such as deficiencies in infrastructure and means of communication, due to factors such as management problems and the peculiarities of the region. Nursing work gained recognition in the pandemic but needs to be further studied and regulated when it comes to performance in educational institutions such as IFE.

Geração 60+ na internet : relações tecnológicas, tensões e produção de sentidos na pandemia de Covid-19
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-02-14) SIMÕES, Camila de Andrade; CUNHA, Elaide Martins da; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3778190981135428; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7723-7055
The study is interested in the relationships of people aged 60 or over with everyday technologies, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. The reference years (2020 and 2021) are marked by a health crisis experienced worldwide, of undulating administration, with regard to Nation-States and, also, internally. In Brazil, physical distancing measures and hygiene guidelines have become a central issue and, in this context, digital communication technologies have taken on a previously unseen centrality. When considering groups of people who may have shown more evident distancing from connected screens, the research focuses on the experience of the elderly, as a starting point. This qualitative research departs from a communicational context to encompass the phenomenon of expanded social doing. Some of the theoretical fronts activated during the argument are in the field of aging (chronological and social), identities (generations), material culture, and power relations, starting from a set of meanings produced by the interlocutors of the research. As collection methods, the digital form and focus groups were used. With that, the Thematic Analysis (TA) showed a path of interest, with the necessary flexibility, in the search for speech patterns, paths of meanings, and senses produced by the investigated. To help with the task, the Iramuteq software was used on the fronts of statistical analyses, similarity, descending hierarchical classification, and presentation of word clouds. By opening up the range of findings, the initial concern about the heterogeneity of the experiences of older people is reinforced. Life, health, economic, and family conditions, for instance, will directly influence the so-called independence (more connected to physical issues) and the desired autonomy (decision-making; self-government). The main screen used was the cell phone to talk to family and friends. Among those who maintained active professional relationships during the verified period, it was possible to perceive a smaller field of friction. In general, the meanings that emerged from these relationships are paradoxical – they contain, roughly speaking, positive and negative points – and translated into technologies seen as access, a door to new learning and possibilities, at the same time as a set of spaces of danger, insecurity, and mystery, especially among those who used the term fear to refer to digital experiences.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-02-16) CRUZ, Jamison da Silva Vera; MERLIN, Bruno; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7336467549495208; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7327-9960; REIS, Rodrigo Quites; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9839778710074372; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3657-4175
Software development has great positive impacts on the economy and management of several companies from different segments. There are several studies that show that the advancement of information technology (IT) in recent years has allowed companies to perform operations that were previously unimaginable. Currently, there are several examples of companies that use IT to obtain cost reductions and/or generate competitive advantage. However, the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and the global change in the health scenario has changed the way we work, affecting various socioeconomic areas around the world. When undergoing changes in consumption patterns, it is necessary for companies and entrepreneurs to think about modifying and adapting strategies, in order to seek ways to meet new market demands. The objective of the work presented here was to analyze the impacts that the Covid-19 Pandemic brought to the daily lives of professionals from micro, small and medium-sized software development companies (MSEs) in the state of Pará, identifying how they adapted to the new reality and what are the legacies left by the crisis.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2023-12-22) PENA, Luana de Nazaré Pinto; BUENO, Michele Escoura; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3126701924384242
Networked spaces have shaped new dynamics of sociability, enabling the intertwining of different historical-social contexts, a multiplicity of groups, organizations and subjects with different profiles of action and social and political mobilization, which have reached new heights from the contexts driven by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. It was in this scenario that capoerista paraense Sabrina Silva used Facebook lives to spread the female capoerista movement in Pará. In view of the above, this study aimed to analyze how the internet became a locus of political action for women capoeiristas during the pandemic in 2020, based on the case study of Sabrina Silva's Lives. To carry out the analysis, we adopted digital ethnography as a method, which is an adaptation of ethnographic analysis for the study of online cultures, aiming to explore and expand the possibilities through the constant use of digital networks, posting the material collected. With regard to the theoretical framework, we selected, among others, authors who work on issues related to capoeira, such as Nestor Capoeira (1999), Letícia Reis (2000) and Luiz Augusto Leal (2005); authors who discuss social movement relations today, such as Manuel Castells (2014) and Maria da Gloria Gohn (2011); authors who debate issues of gender, race and class, for example Anne McClintock (1995) and Kimberlé Crenshaw (2002); and theorists who discuss the digital ethnography , namely Beatriz Lins, Carolina Parreiras and Eliane Freitas (2020). As a result, it was found that social media was appropriated by women during a period when physical meetings were suspended, in order to spread a struggle so important to the construction of Brazilian culture, thus highlighting the power relations present in capoeira and its possibilities for expanding discussions on the subject and giving it more visibility.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2022-11-25) ALMEIDA, Jamilla de Nazaré de Oliveira; SOUZA FILHO, Erasmo Borges de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5387951750537371; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4092-7973
Thisresearch aimsto look into the educational experience of the CommunityRadio of the Municipality of Primavera-Pará as a didactic-pedagogical tool for the dissemination of educational contents in Science, contributing to the integral formation of 4th and 5th year students during the Covid-19 pandemic. We approach the characteristics, themes and educational curriculum of the municipality as strategies and source of educational information on the contents of the referred discipline. Based on interviews with teachers, parents and students about radio and its role as a broadcaster of teaching and learning in this pandemic period, we sought to analyze the social context, marks, impacts and characteristics of this remote education. The main theoretical and methodological framework provides a brief review of the use of radio for education. We see the importance of radio for the Amazon, as well as for the Primavera community, even in a time of effervescence on the internet and social networks, with an emphasis on the relationship established between listeners and speaker teachers/students. The qualitative analysis also showed us that the school public is the one that most participates in the broadcasts, as well as the public of parents and teachers from other cities are also present, making us have new subsidies for the analysis of the current research context.

The coronavirus pandemic deeply changed people relationships and routines around the world. The impossibility of going out and meet friends and family through social distancing and self-quarantine, recommended by principal sanitary authorities, has been causing deeply impacts and consequences still impossible to be concluded. At this pandemic period, many sectors have been affected, as social distancing was required through the whole world. A particular event, which is this research main object, has gained broad debate not just on media, but also on online social media: the Brazilian High School National Exam (ENEM) application. Came about, then, the online social movement #adiaENEM, whose objective was to postpone the exam application that was scheduled to November 2020 and got transferred to January 2021. Given this context, the main objective of this study is to analyze the online social movement #adiaENEM on Twitter during COVID-19 pandemic period. This research proposes reflection about the pandemic and online manifestation through twitter social media, about the test postpone on northern region of Brazil. This study theoretical basis is on the understanding of online social movements (CASTELLS. RECUERO) and power relations (FOUCAULT. SCOTT) constructed through inequalities, daily resistance, transversal struggles, and the subject autonomy (MIGUEL). Proposing a methodological approach by netnography (KOZINETS) arranged in two moments, a content analysis and a network analysis. To analyze the speech content (BARDIN) produced by the social movement the software IRAMUTEQ has been used, allowing the investigation through the tweet corpus that mentioned the northern region, your states, and capitals. Five types of analysis were carried out (lexicographical, factorial correspondence, hierarchical descending classification, similarity, and word cloud). The network analysis (RECUERO) was carried out by graph analytics generated by VOSviewer, seeking to list the main stakeholders mentioned on #adiaENEM national movement. After those analyses a comparative study was executed (FACHIN) between the two movement moments in May 2020 and January 2021. It was concluded then, that the two tides of the movement differ on argumentation and network structure, as the central point of 2020 tide was the social and structure inequalities between the applicants, and in 2021 the central point was the coronavirus pandemic, and the health risk with the exam application.

O vírus neoliberal no Brasil e a polêmica com Giorgio Agamben
(Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, 2020-07) MARTINS, Ricardo Evandro Santos
I explore the concepts of field and state of exception and try to show how Giorgio Agamben, on the one hand, is coherent with his work, besides being right in the diagnosis of the present, but, on the other hand, exaggerates the distrust of the real mortality of Coronavirus and, also, how this position of the Italian philosopher does not serve the Brazilian experience, especially regarding the problem of an apparent agreement of the Minister Araújo with the president, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, with his alert for the state of permanent exception.
