ABSTRACT
Anxiety at pathological levels has grown a lot around the world, so verifying its correlation with human resilience (which is an innate personality trait) during the quarantine due to the covid-19 pandemic was the target of this study. For this, a Human Resilience scale and an Anxiety scale (STAI) were used. For methodological purposes, this research has a descriptive quantitative approach of the Survey type. This research was carried out in the state of Rio Grande do Norte with individuals in quarantine for at least 8 days. Regarding data collection, the investigation took place in a virtual way, through the Google Docs. This data was analyzed using SPSS (R) software, Version 20 for Windows (R). The tests performed consisted of Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Multiple Linear Regression. The results show that the level of human resilience did not imply a lower level of anxiety in individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic, so that the findings are in opposition to those existing in the literature. In conclusion, the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting events were able to raise high levels of anxiety in even the most resilient individuals.
ABSTRACT
This research aims to analyze the degree of resilience of individual microentrepreneurs who work in the beauty industry in a city in Rio Grande do Norte during the COVID-19 pandemic. For methodological purposes, this study has a descriptive character of a quantitative nature. Virtual interviews were conducted through the WhatsApp app, in compliance with the recommendation of social isolation (WHO, 2020), with ten micro-entrepreneurs in the beauty industry in the city of Mossoro-RN. To understand the reports obtained, we used the technique of Analysis of Nuclei of Sense (ANS), adapted by Mendes (2007). As for the results of the data, new categories emerged associated with the dimensions of human resilience proposed by Perim et al. (2015). Based on the reports presented, in general, the interviewees showed low levels of human resilience. Thus, the study has managerial relevance when considering and analyzing this construct as a personality trait necessary to face moments of crisis and organizational competitiveness. In addition, there is the academic relevance of the research, since there were no studies on resilience of micro-entrepreneurs in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this a research gap.
ABSTRACT
This reflection study is exploratory and descriptive. As a objective, we sought to verify elements that make it possible to assess the credibility of the information available on the Web. To meet the proposed objective, a literature review was applied in order to identify publications that deal with the topics: fake news, Post-truth, Infodemia, Misinformation, Checking and Credibility of information. It is concluded that the fact-checking method was considered valid in the content accreditation, since it starts from checking the entire informational context, going through validation steps, which allows the transparency of the method and the sources checked. Due to a large amount of information available on the internet, the practice of content checking has become necessary for the verification and certification of publications, relevant to the public interest, combating fake news and the movement of infodemia, and disinformation in today's society. © 2020 Escuela Interamericana de Bibliotecologia.
