Art works as an instrument of expression and intervention for promoting health and quality of life, covering the most diverse languages. C. G. Jung, an influential Swiss psychiatrist (analytical psychology), stated in 1920 that art is the purest expression for the demonstration of the unconscious of each one. Therefore, based on the psychological concept of "Art Therapy," the main idea of the ARTErapia Extension Project was to establish a network for carrying out activities that involved creativity in different aspects of art. The multidisciplinary team included professors and researchers that contributed with activities different from those they usually develop, in addition to psychology professionals, artists, photographers, and students, among others, who, in joint, felt the need to collaborate in some way during the isolation period of the pandemic. The activities included traditional and digital arts developed with digital web conferencing tools. The total audience reached by the project was 428 people aged between 18 and 55 years. Half of the participants were university students, and the rest were community members. There were 19 events, including photography, psychology, labor market, drawing; music; woodcut; painting, and ceramics. Greater participation was observed for events about drawing and photography. The events were accomplished, with the participation of the university public, as well as the general public, interested in dialoguing, learning, or improving their knowledge about something new, thus collaborating to provide best mental health conditions and bringing the university closer to the community, in addition to promoting free information and training.

This study analyzes the different tones used by the participants in earnings conference calls and the influence on the generation of abnormal stock returns. This study fills the research gap of the segregation of tone analysis by type of analyst and corporate administratives during earnings conference calls. The sample covered the period from 2010 to 2017, totaling 1165 earnings conference calls transcripts from 44 Brazilian companies listed in B3 - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão. The main finding is that the transcribed tone and words based on the Loughran & McDonald (2011) dictionary, have significant predictive power over stock market reactions after earnings conference calls.

Objective: To describe the experience of building the E-book on COVID-19 for the general public. Methods: A descriptive study, of the experience report type resulting from the actions of the Study Group and Research in Health of the Person in Critical Conditions consisted of the academic commitment on the effects of SARS-CoV-2, which causes Pandemic. All the stages of the construction of the E-book, were elaborated by the authors, including the presented illustrations. Virtual meetings were held to discuss the topic, followed by the construction of the material. Results: promoting the transfer of knowledge on the theme, in a simple and accessible way. Published by the publisher of the Federal Nursing Council, Brasília-DF. The E-book contains a total of fifty-seven pages. Conclusion: the construction of this educational material was a form of health education, taking guidelines that are easy to understand and access. Information through didactic materials helps the population to prepare for this confrontation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is perceived as the worst modern-times pandemic. This entirely new health situation entailed a new challenge to the education system. To our knowledge, the impact of alternative teaching methods derived from the social distancing imposed by COVID-19 on university student perception in teacher education has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to analyse an educative experience developed in a Faculty of Teaching from March 2020 to July 2020 in order to overcome the challenge imposed by COVID-19. A qualitative approach was used for data collection and analysis using four information sources: (a) The final written documents developed by the working groups (b) The online oral presentation of their work (c) The semi-structured interviews conducted through videoconferencing during the lockdown and, (d) The focus groups meetings. We have identified 8 major categories. Our results show that: (a) students find videoconferences are a tool that offsets the issues of social distancing; (b) intrinsic motivation is essential to overcome the perceived barriers; (c) the move to a virtual environment allowed students to deepen their methodological skills; (d) students now see themselves more competent regarding academic information research; e) the constant interaction among group members and the teacher is a key element to achieve a positive experience during social isolation; (f) new logistic and operational dynamics for cooperative working were constructed as a result of using videoconferences. We highlighted the barriers and facilitators perceived by students during the implementation of a tutorial action during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This study describes a teaching intervention carried out in the field of telecollaboration on a university-level course. Two main goals were set for this didactic innovation, which was carried out through an Interinstitutional Teaching Project: firstly, to increase the time of exposure to the foreign language (English/Spanish) and secondly, to raise cultural awareness among British and Spanish university students. The qualitative method has been applied in order to describe the participation and involvement of the learners. This case study firstly describes telecollaboration and the research that has recently been carried out in this field. Secondly, it presents the three phases of the project: action plan, development and evaluation. Thirdly, participants’ perceptions (both positive and negative) are described. Students’ comments are analyzed mainly in terms of linguistic, cultural or other general features expressed by participants. Finally, this case study includes a conclusion in which planning strategies and task design are emphasized, since both have brought about a successful experience for university students.

The continuing improvements in the worldwide access to the Internet are rapidly improving the ability forinternational collaborative eLearning. The University of Kansas (KU) and University of Costa Rica (UCR) aredeveloping eLearning strategies designed to establish meaningful and sustained relationships. We are investigating:1) how to use technology and pedagogy to enrich social interaction and learning, 2) strategies and technologies forengaging students in collaborating on issues of mutual interest, 3) understanding how the quality of relationships canimprove learning, 4) institutional issues and barriers related to implementing coursework, certifications and academicprograms across international institutions. Our analysis indicates that student collaborate more when they can meetin live teleconferencing as opposed to relying solely of asynchronous email or threaded discussions for collaborativeproject. Participantsreported that strategies that scaffold activities by beginning with clearly stated problems andachievable common goals, such as locating and ranking relevant web resources, contribute to richer collaborations. El crecimiento continuo del acceso a la Internet, a nivel mundial, está mejorando rápidamente el aprendizaje internacional colaborativo en línea. La Universidad de Kansas (KU) y la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR) están desarrollando estrategias de aprendizaje en línea para establecer relaciones significativas. El equipo está investigando: (1) la integración de la tecnología y la pedagogía de enseñanza para enriquecer la interacción social y el aprendizaje, (2) la integración de estrategias y tecnologías para incorporar a los estudiantes en actividades de colaboración acerca de temas de interés común, (3) entender cómo la calidad de la relaciones sociales pueden mejorar el aprendizaje, y (4) los eventos y barreras internacionales relacionadas con la implementación de los cursos académicos, certificaciones y programas entre instituciones internacionales. Nuestro análisis indica que los estudiantes colaboran más activamente cuando tienen encuentros reales en teleconferencias y no simplemente con la interacción asíncrona o discusiones en línea para los proyectos colaborativos. Los participantes reportan que las estrategias, que facilitan las actividades iniciando con problemas claramente establecidos y con objetivos alcanzables, tales como localizar y priorizar los recursos mas importantes de la Internet, contribuyen a enriquecer las colaboraciones.
