La situación socio-sanitaria ocasionada por la COVID-19 ha implicado la clausura de los centros educativos forzando a la población escolar a continuar su proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de forma virtual. Esta situación ha puesto en evidencia la brecha digital existente entre los escolares, una realidad que ha aflorado en toda su magnitud para convertirse en objeto y tema de debate en el ámbito periodístico. Este trabajo tiene por objetivo describir el alcance de la brecha digital en el ámbito educativo y sus consecuencias, así como las posibles soluciones a corto y largo plazo. La metodología elegida es de carácter cualitativo apoyada en el análisis de contenido, en la que se exploran y revisan publicaciones de prensa generalista española en el primer mes de confinamiento, tanto de ámbito nacional como autonómico. Los resultados muestran que la prensa aborda el desequilibrio y desigualdad social respecto al acceso a la información y las dificultades consecuentes para acceder a la modalidad online, se observa un claro interés por la brecha digital, principalmente de acceso a internet, como una más de las dificultades en entornos socio-económicos vulnerables para acceder a la educación en igualdad de condiciones. Como conclusión cabe destacar que la pandemia, a través de la prensa generalista, ha incrementado la visibilidad de una situación ya existente: la desigualdad digital. Una desigualdad que favorece la exclusión en una sociedad que se muestra eminentemente tecnológica. The socio-sanitary situation caused by COVID-19 has implied the closure of educational centers, forcing the school population to continue their teaching-learning process virtually. This situation has highlighted the existing digital divide between schoolchildren, a reality that has emerged in all its magnitude to become an object and topic of debate in the journalistic field. This work aims to describe the scope of the digital divide in education and its consequences, as well as possible solutions in the short and long term. The chosen methodology is of a qualitative nature supported by content analysis, in which general Spanish press publications are explored and reviewed in the first month of confinement, both nationally and regionally. The results show that the press addresses the social imbalance and inequality regarding access to information and the consequent difficulties in accessing the online modality, there is a clear interest in the digital divide, mainly internet access, as one more of the Difficulties in vulnerable socio-economic environments to access education under equal conditions. In conclusion, it should be noted that the pandemic, through the generalist press, has increased the visibility of an already existing situation: digital inequality, which favors exclusion in a society that is eminently technological

Complicated Nature

The economy of Southeast Asia has been in relatively good shape in spite of the instability of the world monetary system, trade deficits, and the worldwide oil crisis. There are promising factors for economic growth, opportunities for employment, and possibilities of rising income. But Asian development presents short-and long-term problems of a very complicated nature. One of the most serious problems is inflation and its impact on the social and political programs of individual countries. At the same time, there are severe shortages of basic commodities, such as oil and food. My own country, Japan, is among those affected.

This chapter will explore the human dimension of the digital divide. It argues that existing digital divide research takes primarily a socio-economic perspective and that few studies have considered the social, psychological or cultural barriers that may contribute to digital inequality within community. This chapter will discuss an ongoing research project that explores the psychological factors that contribute to the digital divide. Using the Social Cognitive Theory, the research examines the Internet self-efficacy of Internet users and non-users in Brisbane, Australia and San Jose, California, USA. Developing a psychological perspective of the digital divide will expand current understanding of a phenomenon that has far reaching social and economic implications. It will allow a more precise understanding of what is and who represents the digital divide in community. Organisations who are involved in bridging the digital divide will be better placed to develop strategies and programs that can more effectively narrow the gap between ICT “haves” and “have-nots”.

Grantmaking Foundations

This article explores how Canadian philanthropic foundations with social justice mandates responded to the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by loosening restrictions for grantees; collaborating on new initiatives; elevating grassroots knowledge; and balancing short- and long-term priorities. This response, however, revealed a series of tensions in the dominant pre-COVID-19 philanthropic model—specifically, as a mechanism to address the social, econ- omic, and ecological crises that predate COVID-19. The early pandemic response of grantmaking foundations can there- fore serve as a model for what a more democratic, agile, collaborative, and justice-oriented philanthropic sector can look like. RÉSUMÉ Cet article examine la réponse de fondations philanthropiques canadiennes aux enjeux de justice sociale pendant la pandémie de COVID-19. Elles l’ont fait en assouplissant les exigences exigées aux donataires; en collaborant autour de nouvelles initiatives; en priorisant l’expertise des communautés; et en équilibrant les priorités à long et à court terme. Cette réponse révèle les tensions inhérentes au modèle classique de l’action philanthropique, particulièrement dans les façons de répondre aux crises sociales, économiques et écologiques. La réponse actuelle fournit des bases solides pour repenser le modèle d’action du secteur philanthropique subventionnaire afin qu’il soit plus démocratique, plus collaboratif et plus axé sur la justice.

Long Term Consequences

Postpartum depression remains a significant healthcare priority due to the social and family consequences. Research has shown that both mothers and fathers experience significant psychological changes during pregnancy and postnatally, including depressive disorders. Underdiagnosed in most cases, the short and long-term consequences involve infant and child development, family’s life and social disruption. Because this pathology may lead to deviation from behavioural and social norms, we want to emphasize that timely and appropriate diagnostic can improve the effectiveness of treatments and avoid complications.This may contribute to optimal social, emotional and behavioural child development that may occur consecutively to family members” emotional and psychological manifestations.

Functional Relevance

Humans are uniquely cooperative and form crucial short- and long-term social bonds between individuals that ultimately shape human societies. The need for such intense cooperation may have provided a particularly powerful selection pressure on the emotional and communicative behaviours regulating cooperative processes, such as guilt. Guilt is a social, other-oriented moral emotion that promotes relationship repair and pro-sociality. For example, people can be more lenient towards wrongdoers who display guilt than towards those who do not. Here, we examined the social consequences of guilt in a novel experimental setting with pairs of friends differing in relationship quality. Pairs of participants took part in a cooperative game with a mutual goal. We then induced guilt in one of the participants and informed the other participant of their partner's wrongdoing. We examined the outcome using a dictator game to see how they split a joint reward. We found that guilty people were motivated to repair wrongdoing regardless of friendship. Observing guilt in others led to a punishment effect and a victim of wrongdoing punished close friends who appeared guilty more so than acquaintances. We suggest, therefore, that guilt has a stronger function between close friends as the costs of relationship breakdown are greater. Relationship context, therefore, is crucial to the functional relevance of moral emotions.

Diante do exposto, o objetivo desse artigo é analisar as estratégias econômicas adotadas pelos empresários brasileiros até a retomada da abertura do comércio e circulação de pessoas pelo país. O presente artigo é uma pesquisa bibliográfica, está organizada em três capítulos e é de natureza qualitativa, baseando-se em documental e coleta de dados secundários. A economia brasileira gradativamente vinha melhorando em seus indicadores econômicos e sociais, porém longe de ter estrutura capaz de suportar um impacto tão grande como é o caso do isolamento social vivenciado do pelos brasileiros. Esse novo cenário econômico mostra o processo sobre as estratégias mais eficientes, as quais atuam envolvendo inovação, desenvolvimento e maior canal de vendas eficientes, isso impulsiona um ciclo que segura os consumidores tenham um fluxo financeiro que garanta continuarem atuando até o período pós-pandemia do Covid-19. Conclui-se que após pandemia é esperado que os veículos de comercialização se consolidem e assim os pequenos empresários possam ter acesso a grandes mercados e a obtenção de novos clientes. O uso das estratégias como e-marketplace e omnichannel vem colaborar com a notoriedade ao conceito de negócio, acelerando o retorno do crescimento econômico brasileiro e todos têm a ganhar com isso. ABSTRACT Humanity faces a new caused by the Coronavirus, the government is forced to take several long-term protective measures in pandemic order to reduce contagion, the quarantine regime was applied to control the population in their homes. Given the above, the objective of this article is to analyze the economic strategies adopted by Brazilian business people until the resumption of the opening of trade and circulation of people across the country. This article is a bibliographic research, organized in three chapters and is of a qualitative nature, based on documentary and secondary data collection. The Brazilian economy was gradually improving in its economic and social indicators, but far from having a structure capable of withstanding such an impact as is the case of the social isolation experienced by Brazilians. This new economic scenario shows the process on the most efficient strategies, which work involving innovation, development and a greater efficient sales channel, this drives a cycle that ensures consumers have a financial flow that ensures they continue to act until the post-pandemic period of the Covid-19.

AbstractMaritime cultural heritage is made up of finite and nonrenewable cultural resources including coastal or submerged prehistoric and indigenous archaeological sites and landscapes, historic waterfront structures, the remnants of seagoing vessels, and the maritime traditions and lifeways of the past and present. To date, evaluative tools used to assess the social and economic “value” of this heritage are extremely limited, the lack of which often results in the loss of maritime cultural resources and unrealized socioeconomic opportunities. Market and nonmarket valuations, derived from ecological economics and ecosystem assessments, are viable techniques that may be integrated into existing U.S. environmental and historic preservation regulatory procedures to support resource significance determinations. In doing so, decision-making regarding maritime cultural heritage can include assessments of the short- and long-term trade-offs of human actions, and can examine the socioeconomic costs and benefits of heritage conservation projects.

The Impact

Welcome to this, the first issue of the International Modern Perspectives on Academia and Community Today (IMPACT) Journal. In creating this Journal and producing this first issue we have proven that multidisciplinary working is possible. Moreover, we have shown that as academics, we have the power to challenge the norms and work in innovative ways within the contexts of our institutions. Thinking and working in innovative ways reflects on our practices as we reimagine our work and role in working with the community. Through the creation of a multidisciplinary Journal, we intend to provide a platform that will not only host approaches used in various disciplines but will also act as a merging point by putting forward perspectives from the communities alongside academic work. In doing so, we hope to promote new forms of dialogue, which have the potential to generate new research directions, and help cement the notion that academia and community are intertwined rather than separate entities within the social relations. The purpose of academic practice is to serve the needs of the community as both members of the community and academics who adopt an advocacy standpoint. Therefore, we hope that through the collaborative working practices underpinning this initiative we can achieve our aim to promote community involvement and engagement and meaningful contribution in the short and long term.
