The P2P & Innovation Journal comes to its fifth year  recognized as a space  to discuss    Collaborative  and solidarity economies,  the production of the commons,  the sustainability development, the  recognition  of the other and differences, and innovation, in addition to an  Information Science agenda that goes from literacy to fraudulent news, through the organization of Knowledge  and  information Management.

The common trait in the journal are critical approaches  and  the propositions of going beyond that  established in  epistemic, cultural, economic  and social terms. The journal seeks the daring of the authors, to offer to the readers original and instigating articles. Every issue  of the journal we want to provide  material for  the actions and  dreams of each and every  reader.

This academic initiative faces, like all Brazilians, the offensive of religious fundamentalism,  the denial  of science and  culture,  the  violence  of State agents,  A  Economic agenda of deregulation and privatization, environmental degradation and destruction,  contempt for the poor and different. It is the  denial of a modernity still under construction.

In this scenario it is important to repeat platitudes, to rationally reconstruct the  distorted and threatened public sphere. The Brazilian state is secular,  science is an effective way to produce and validate knowledge,  culture distinguishes us from barbarism,  the State has  duties on behalf of the Society of protection of the vulnerable and the promotion of good Being,  Global warming is the result of human action  and  every human being has an inherent dignity.

This issue of the journal opens with the article "Innovation and Information Science in Brazil: Analysis of the publications of ENANCIB  and Brapci between 2006 and 2016", by Juliana Fachin, Úrsula Blattmann and William Barbosa Vianna. This is an exploratory and descriptive study with the objective to know the scenario of scientific publications on innovation, constituting a sample of 121 documents.

The   authors ' sample  shows that most of the research analyzed work with  information for decision-making, Management for innovation  and  mapping studies on  Innovation. Thus, they conclude  that the research  is directed to the object information as a source in the innovative process. The applications of  this are incipient.

Luciana Reusing  and Marcos Wachowicz  present "The Agnotology  in the process of knowledge in biotechnology".  In this article  the authors  bring  an important reflection for the sciences of Nature and the social sciences, in addressing the process of ignorance or doubt induced by the manipulation of data and scientific information To establish a social process of mistrust "agnotology", constituting the counterpoint to "epistemological" knowledge.

The methodology applied to delimit the state of the art is the bibliographic research, in order to provide a better  approach to the theme. The expected result is to demonstrate that biotechnology is a science laden with values and myths, distant from  positivist neutrality, capable of promoting a biological and social reconfiguration through scientific knowledge.

"Criteria for the certification of products in the regulation of the Inmetro"i is the article by  Roberta de Freitas Chamusca,  Danielle Assafin Vieira Souza Silva,  Cristiane Mascarenhas da Silva Sampaio  and  Raphael Carlos Santos Machado. The National Institute of Metrology, Quality and technology (INMETRO) systematically uses the conformity assessment in its regulations. In the certification of products, processes and services, there are seven types of schemes possible.

Based on the bibliographic review, the authors  invested how to select the appropriate scheme in the certification. A systematic decision support was elaborated, based on the variables related to the product, production process, production sector, market and distribution channel.  This system  potentially promotes the improvement of the regulatory quality of Inmetro and the increase in transparency, besides constituting a useful tool for other actors  who own certification schemes.

Alzira Karla Araújo da Silva and collaborators present the article "Standardization as an extensionist practice: Experiences in the project 'Uncomplicated TCC'". The university extension is an action that disseminates knowledge in the community and promotes  interlocution between theory and practice. The Uncomplicated TCC is an extension project of the Department of Information Science of the Federal University of Paraíba.

The article is presented from an account of the activities  of  team preparation, marketing in networks and social media and workshops ministed in the second edition of the project in 2018.   This experience of success is shared in the field of extension and normalization, as well as contributor to  situate  normalization in the field of Bibliotheconomia.

"The incentive to read in basic education from PNBE"  is the  article by  Darlaine Pereira Bomfim das Mercês, Barbara Coelho Neves  and  Marcea Andrade Sales. The authors  problematize  the  National School Library Program (PNBE)  as an educational public policy of access to the book in basic education.

The research  was conducted with documents,  Observation and bibliography. Field research was conducted at a state public school located in Salvador. In  2016 the research subjects were the students of the last year of high school,  when reading wheels were held inside the library  with whom they had habit of reading. And in 2018  the reading wheels were developed with students from the first year of high school, in the classroom, in order to enable new experiences of reading practice in the world, from the programmatic contents of Sociology.

The article " Design Thinking in Libraries: Evidence from literature",  is a production of  Raquel Alexandre de Lira,  Carlos Eduardo Pereira Carpes,  Guillermo Davila  and  Gregorio Varvakis. The authors note that thes libraries need to  give fast answers to increase the  visibility of the services offered to their users. Facing the environmental changes  in the information Society, libraries seek tools to cope with these scenarios and design thinking can be an alternative.

The authors ' research aims to analyzing the application of design thinking in libraries. Theyv made a literature review. The results indicate that design thinking is a tool  for the adequacy or implementation of services, and can be  used  by librarians and Library managers.

The work "Description of semantic relations for application in KOS:  Use of the Applied Semantic Thesaurus (THESA)", by  Rene Faustino Gabriel Junior  and  Rita do Carmo Ferreira laipelt aims to develop a model of semantic Metacategories for application in KOS. It seeks specifically to identify typologies of semantic relations classified as associative relationships for application in the software Thesa-Thesaurus applied semantic.

In the current context the research interface of information Retrieval systems (SRI), with its different possibilities of search, play an intermediary role between the user and the documentary collection. Thus, it is necessary  that these systems be designed  to  facilitate the retrieval of information. One of the ways is to invest in the semantic relations of the Knowledge Organization Systems (SOCs). The  inclusion of  identified semantic metacategories make it possible to observe and describe their functioning in different fields of knowledge.

The authors believe that the consolidation of the research results enables the development of semantically strengthened thesauri, in a natural transposition between theory and practice. The  use of Thesa  can  offer  the possibility to establish dictionaries of synonyms between different domains and themes, as well as generate inferences with bases in other tesauros, facilitating the operationalization with the use of Artificial Intelligence.

Clóvis Dorigon and Irme Salete Bonamigo  present the article "Social Constructivism and theory of actor-Network: A comparative analysis between research Methods in sociology of science and innovation”. This  article  discusses  the relationship between science, technology and society, based on the theoretical-methodological approaches of  constructivism Social Research and actor-Network theory.

The authors focus in the differences and their implications of the use  of the two  methods  of research. The Social constructivism allows to realize that there is no technological determinism, because the development of different technologies goes through an intense process of social negotiation and that there is, a priori, a single or the best way. The  theory of the actor-network allows to tangentiate the dichotomy society/nature, because it assumes that the social world and the natural world must be treated in a symmetrical way, by the composition of sociotechnical networks.

Roselene de Lima Breda writes "The social and its technologies: semantic slippage and operative translations  of the index of social vulnerability in transnational partnerships between NGOs in Brazil". The  article is part of the debate on the emergence and expansion of the model of transnational partnerships between organizations aimed at overcoming poverty in Brazil, since the years 1990.

The author Works with The mobilization of the social vulnerability index as a grid of intelligibility of multiscalar processes In the partnerships established between NGOs  financiers  and partners.  The author makes  documentary research centered on texts and norms that direct the NGO funding  and  ethnográfic research  in the National Office of the NGO funding in Belo Horizonte/MG  and at the headquarters of a  partner NGO in Cariri cearense. In this way, mechanisms of mediation and translation are unveiled to the use of the Social vulnerability index.

"The Codes of business ethics from the perspective of coherence and cohesion: a study in the light of the Sarbanes-Oxley law"  is the article by  Emiliano Carlos Serpa Castor, Ana Carolina de gouvêa Dantas Motta, Adriano Rosa da Silva,  Juliano Melades Vianello. The authors affirm that being the value or premise of an organization, business ethics comes to ensure both the survival and the reputation of a company, whether public or private. And, as it is supposed, its good results.

The authors  seek to study the codes of ethics from the point of view of coherence and cohesion, in the light of the term accountability, having as reference the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX). Thus, the morally correct form with which companies interact with their surroundings reveals the conductive thread of this work, particularized in the five Brazilian companies with the best performances on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), in  First semester of  2016.

"The impact of information technology in public administration : A systematic review", is the article by  Júlio César Santos Silva, Daniel Barbosa Procópio  and  José André Villas bôas Mello. The authors  present  A systematic review of the literature regarding planned interventions and evaluated in the implementation of information technology in the public administration  in the Scielo database, Web of Science, SciVerse Scopus and Medline/PubMed in the period from 2012 to 2019.

The authors affirm that the research evidences a substantial lack of integration between the systems and that information technology is able to help public management to reduce the gaps in the monitoring of the execution of services and projects, facilitating the transparency of public spending and policies aimed at society.

"Precarization of work: Analysis on the working conditions of the military polices n the state of Pará"  is the article presents by  Rogério Velasco Oliveira Gama, Luciana Rodrigues Ferreira, Mauro Martwig Coutinho  and  Plinio Victor Cardoso Moreira. The authors investigate the working conditions of the military police of the state of Pará, relating with concepts of precarization of the work.

The authors depart from the concept of precarization in new forms of functional or organizational easing, to discuss the working conditions of the military police under their perception. A qualitative exploratory study was made, with techniques of documentary research and questionnaire  applied  to  military firefighters  and a fluvial sea group between  2017 and 2018.

The authors draw the socioeconomic profile of the sample, as well as identify  that the state of Pará needs  values  the  public servant. They conclude that the government needs to  allocate  re-courses for the effectivities of  police activities,which identiare  high rates of precarization .

Hericley Serejo Santos,  Elias Santos Serejo  and Luã  Caldas de Oliveira  offer us the article  "Portraits of the Amazonian experience: contribution of the educomunicative practice in the improvement of representation of the Marajoara reality ". The authors  affirm that the education is one of the ways to reduce inequality in access to information and communication technologies.

 

The authors present  the educative practice as an alternative to develop languages that digital devices promote, such as photography. They  seek to understand how this approach contributed to improve the capture of images by students from the Federal Institute of Pará  in Marajó, and to transform the critical look into  the space in which they are inserted, from the conducting a photography workshop.

The authors consider that  familiarity with the  use of  technological resources does not guarantee the theoretical mastery of the functioning and potentiality available,  and  that Educomunicação can Contribute to this gap being filled, enabling the achievement of better results in the pursuit of a citizen and emancipatory education.

Eliezer Pires da Silva and Diogo Baptista Pereira present the article "A country without memory?:  The danger for future researchers with the non - custody of information from the Brazilian government's virtual social networks". The  article  wants to provoke the debate on the need to think of a public policy for preserving the content posted online by federal agencies in virtual social networks. The authors   have the  risks  that  can  be  caused by the future researcher, in view of the increasing use   of  social networks by the  Brazilian government.

"Transitions in the image of Brazil in Portugal conveed by the press:  A study on the articles published in Portuguese illustrated magazines  (1834-1922)  is the work of  Ana Suely Pinho Lopes  and  Jorge Pedro Sousa. An analysis of the  transition in the image of Brazil conveed by the press based on the study of the articles produced by Portuguese illustrated magazines (1834-1922) was performed.

The authors claim to identify a transition  against  the analyzed subjects. They consider that  the study allows to identify the relevant points that draw attention to Brazil in that period  and the importance that was given to each of them, considering the level of relevance by theme approached.

This issue of the journal closes with the article "Sap for the civilizational leap: the place of the networks in the search for the ancestor and the community", by Célio Turino. The author states that  the challenge is to connect the contemporary networks to the ancestor and  the community, recreating meanings from networks of affections, desires and wills.

Turino considers that we need to establish macro networks, integrating collectives of community cultures with collectives of technological innovation, artistic and confrontation with the dominant system, as well as, connects these macro networks of diversity with environments of reflection, research and academic and scientific research. Of this connection, powerful processes of social transformation can emerge.

The Research Group on Collaborative economies and P2P production  in Brazil of IBICT expects, with this issue of the P2P & Innovation Journal, to be  contributing to the pluralist discussion of emerging and instigating themes.  We connect with multiple observation networks, speeches, reflections  and themes. We want to present criticism, paths and  exits.
