A pandemia causada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2 (2019) evidenciou as desigualdades educacionais do país, criando desafios aos profissionais da educação, aos estudantes e aos familiares. Essa nova atmosfera refletiu no fazer docente e na prática cotidiana das inúmeras escolas do país, que com o avanço intenso da doença logo trataram de procurar meios e métodos para garantir o contato mínimo com os estudantes. Esse cenário de fragilidade desencadeou muitas preocupações sobre a relação escola-estudante. Diante disso, algumas questões surgiram: O que dizem os alunos? Como estão recebendo os conteúdos? Como se dá o acesso as aulas on-line? Situada a problemática, este artigo pretende apresentar algumas metodologias utilizadas com alunos do ensino fundamental II e do ensino médio, que visaram criar uma proximidade entre a escola, o professor e o aluno. Trata-se, portanto, de reflexões acerca de uma pedagogia das sensibilidades, que para além dos conteúdos oficiais presentes no currículo, considera as experiências e vivências dos estudantes.

Durante a pandemia da COVID-19, o ensino remoto ganhou força por todo o mundo devido a necessidade desencadeada pelo isolamento social, medida mais eficaz para combater o vírus. Com isso, professores e alunos precisaram se adaptar rapidamente para continuidade das aulas e atividades acadêmicas de forma on-line, sem preparo prévio. Nessa perspectiva, o presente artigo tem como objetivo realizar uma comparação de dados relacionados ao impacto do home office durante a pandemia na saúde mental de professores, com o intuito de reforçar a importância do cuidado e tratamento desses profissionais. Os achados estão relacionados ao aumento da carga horária de trabalho, da ansiedade e do estresse, além da falta de recursos suficientes. Assim, conclui-se a necessidade de acompanhamento psicológico para os docentes nas escolas de todo o Brasil, além de um treinamento especializado para o uso de tecnologias no meio educacional.

This study examines how virtual reality images are used in contemporary theatre. Modern technologies get into various areas of life including the theatrical environment. Therefore, the study of the role of virtual reality in contemporary theatre is crucial for the qualitative understanding of the tendencies in development of the contemporary theatre scene in the context of the development of contemporary art. This determines the relevance of this study and subsequent academic research in this field as well. The purpose of this study is to assess the degree of influence of modern technologies on creating virtual reality in the development of theatrical art. The leading approach for this study is a combination of a systematic study of the main trends in the creation of virtual reality within the framework of the development of modern technologies and the logical construction of conclusions retrieved from the results of this study. The main results obtained in this study are supposed to be the identification of the main areas for creating virtual reality in the activities of contemporary theatres and changes in the work of theatre groups during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prospects for subsequent academic research in this field are determined by the increasing usage of modern technologies for creating virtual reality within the framework of the modern development of theatrical culture and the need for a deep study of this factor as the one that defines the prospects for the technological development of the contemporary theatre scene. The practical significance of this study lies in the possibility of using its results obtained to assess the role and place of modern technologies for creating virtual reality in contemporary theatre.

COVID-19 has affected everyone's wellbeing. This study aims to identify the main risk and protective factors in relation to COVID-19 and personal wellbeing. Besides racial and ethnic disparities relating to COVID-19, we are interested to see if different work conditions and professions, family status and relations, experience with COVID-19 among other factors affect people's wellbeing during the last year (09.2021-until data collection) of COVID-19. The chosen time period is since September 2021, especially that since that time, schools were reopened and most workplaces went back to in person. Studies covering the negative effects of COVID-19 have identifying factors that affected people's wellbeing. This study aims to examine if these factors are still persistent, especially that most schools and workplaces are going back to in persons. The implications of this study will guide interventions to facilitate a more positive "new normal" times as COVID-19 still persists.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has seen unprecedented state border closures and a proliferation of novel restrictions on human mobility both within and between states. This article examines the human rights implications for refugees and asylum seekers of one COVID-19 response measure within and beyond Australia: namely, the adoption of COVID-19 vaccination passport systems. We argue that the use of COVID-19 passport systems in 2021 intensified and entrenched the growing inequalities between states and people in the vaccine-rich Global North and vaccine-deprived Global South as well as between citizens and non-citizens within particular states. Using the concepts of ‘mobility injustice’ and ‘immunoprivilege’, we explore how COVID-19 passport systems created particular additional barriers for refugees to access asylum, to exercise their right to mobility and to realise their right to health. We thus call for ongoing vigilance against the potential for COVID-19 passport systems to be redeployed in future times of global pandemics or emergencies to the detriment of refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented people, both in Australia and globally, even while being touted as a means of protecting populations, opening international travel and granting greater freedoms.

This study aims to determine the implementation, constraints, efforts to overcome obstacles, and the result audit quality when using the alternative procedures for auditing local government financial report (LKPD) which is conducted by The Representative of Audit Board Indonesia in North Sulawesi Province (BPK of North Sulawesi) in the Covid 19 Pandemic Era.This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The data was collected through interviews and documentation studies. The results showed that The Representative of Audit Board Indonesia in North Sulawesi Province had implemented alternative procedures for auditing local government financial report by preparing adequate regulations and policies. Improving the competence of the auditor through training, workshops, socialization, dissemination, knowledge transfer forum, compiling Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), and making messenger group. In addition, preparing an audit program that accommodates alternative procedures in accordance with existing regulations, developing audit strategies and alternative procedures through the utilization of the Internal Government Supervisory Apparatus (APIP), utilizing information technology, and tiered reviews. Problem that faced in implementing alternative procedures are the lack of local government commitment in preparing a stable internet network, supporting devices, personnel in related office, the number of competent APIP teams as needed. Lack experience auditor does not have the same knowledge about the details of steps and supporting documents. These issues can be overcome through increasing local government commitment, the number competence APIP team as needed, and the competence of new auditor of Audit Board Indonesia.The quality of audit results in the era of the Covid 19 pandemic has fulfilled the requirement with indicators of quality control and quality assurance achievements, the achievement of the auditee satisfaction index for LKPD examinations, the achievement of timely submission of LKPD audit report (LHP LKPD), and the achievement of the percentage of lawsuits against LHP won by the Audit Board of Indonesia

Since activation policies prove their inefficiency in solving existent socio economic problems, especially after the pandemic crisis of COVID-19, alternative policies other than Active Labour Market Policies (ALMPs) have appeared on the agenda of the EU. This research traces the reasons of the ineffectiveness of activation by highlighting the perception of the beneficiaries of the ALMPs. This article builds on the fieldwork implemented in a member state (Spain) and candidate country (Turkey) of the EU through 78 semi-structured individual interviews with the participants of vocational trainings for unemployed people. Results show that the beneficiaries in both countries are aware of the fact that the activation process does not provide a solution for their socio-economic problems and they desire a decent job, rather than training.
