THE BACKSTAGE OF A STUDY DURING THE PANDEMIC: a trioethnography about collaborative dialogues

This paper arises from the authors' interest in understanding the creative dialogues established behind the scenes of a broader research study they are part of. This was a qualitative research involving researchers (PIBIC, university professors, and graduate students) from three countries -Brazil, Canada and England, who were focusing on digital culture in educational communities in Stricto Sensu Graduate programs. The methodological approach of this article starts from a trioethnographic perspective. This academic writing style is more , personalized and conversational. From the emerging data, we explored 3 (three) moments in particular: criticality, neoliberalism, and COVID-19 in the teaching reality and its implications for the development of this research;the role of linguistic competence and translation in the problematization of what we consider to be democratic and collaborative practices;and the (intercultural) renegotiation of research development. These moments are interpreted by the authors from their practices and experiences which are juxtaposed in this article to reflect the complexity of doing research from this dialogic and collaborative perspective in a pandemic context. The dialogues in this article deepen emerging discussions from a critical-reflexive perspective, bringing to light perceptions, views, feelings and implications of personal, affective, professional and academic-scientific interrelationships in the context of the development of this research. We understand, from the data produced in a rigorous but inconclusive way, that our analytical perspectives are loaded by different conceptions, contexts and life stories, and have approximations and distances which enrich this investigation process.

Helping hands: Measuring the impact of a large threat intelligence sharing community

We tracked the largest volunteer security information sharing community known to date: the COVID-19 Cyber Threat Coalition, with over 4,000 members. This enabled us to address long-standing questions on threat information sharing. First, does collaboration at scale lead to better coverage? And second, does making threat data freely available improve the ability of defenders to act? We found that the CTC mostly aggregated existing industry sources of threat information. User-submitted domains often did not make it to the CTC's blocklist as a result of the high threshold posed by its automated quality assurance using VirusTotal. Although this ensured a low false positive rate, it also caused the focus of the blocklist to drift away from domains related to COVID-19 (1.4%-3.6%) to more generic abuse, such as phishing, for which established mitigation mechanisms already exist. However, in the slice of data that was related to COVID-19, we found promising evidence of the added value of a community like the CTC: just 25.1% of these domains were known to existing abuse detection infrastructures at time of listing, as compared to 58.4% of domains on the overall blocklist. From the unique experiment that the CTC represented, we draw three lessons for future threat data sharing initiatives.

The therapeutic itineraries of vulnerable populations at Covid-19: a scoping review

With the objective of investigate the therapeutic itineraries followed for search the health care by the brazilian population in a situation of social vulnerability during the covid-19 pandemic, a scope review was carried out from July to September 2021, as proposed by the Joanna Briggs Institute, in the BVS, PubMed, EMBASE, Scielo, PsycInfo, Scopus and Web of Science databases within the 2020 and 2021 clippings. 11 articles were analyzed and divided into three categories: strategies care of population;health offerings;difficulties in accessing healthcare. Results explained gaps and potentialities existing on therapeutic itineraries in the search for health care for populations in a situation of social vulnerability and how these aspects became more evident in this pandemic period. There was a movement of this vulnerable populations to overcome the daily difficulties that determine the unfavorable conditions for health care. Copyright © 2022, Fundacao UNI Botucatu/UNESP.

COVID-19: Reflections on the Crisis, Transformation, and Interactive Processes Under Development

With a global extent, the pandemic of the new coronavirus and the resulting measures to contain the contagion imposed immediate changes in the routine of people and societies. In view of this historical event, the first part of this theoretical study discussed its relationship with the concept of crisis, while circumscribing human development processes, mobilizing reorganizations in life trajectories. In the second part, the intensification of the use of digital tools to support communication during social isolation was highlighted, particularly reflecting on new interactive arrangements and inter-corporeal experiences. The paper reflects on the proximal processes in the new interactive and contextual configurations through the bioecological theory of human development and, based on concepts of the enactive theory, discusses possible implications of the new perceptual fields and the production of meanings with the repositioning of the body and new modes of engagement. The study highlights that the changes, events, relationships, and effects that we are experiencing (trans)form our forms of sociability and bases of psyche. © 2020, The Author(s).
