Abstract
The aim of this article is to show how autoethnography is a useful and revealing research methodology that should be encouraged in academia, especially in higher education. With objectivity, autoethnography, which is a relatively new approach, may be a path toward deeper cultural discussions that are so important in everyday life. Moreover, autoethnography leads to important reflexive and critical observations made by students. Autoethnography is a readily accessible, low-cost methodology and thus very appealing to students and younger researchers. With this article, the author exemplifies autoethnographic accounts and narrates three different stories that occurred while trekking with three different trekking guides in Patagonia (El Chaltén), Argentina. Argentinian culture, in South America, is the focus. Researchers need to be careful of misleading statements in the literature, such as that in Argentina modesty is apparently not tolerated. We found that two of our guides and leaders – Mariano and Liz – both had modest (and pleasant) demeanors. Hence, we conclude that it is important to maintain an open mind and resist categorizing people. This is a vital point of cultural studies that is often not taken seriously. Cultures are made up of individuals and thus many differences can be found in the midst of an attempted standardization, and the desire to put everyone in the same “basket”. © 2020 by the author.

Abstract
According to the literature students have difficulty in publishing academic autoethnographic stories, and it is our objective to provide advice in order to change this. Autoethnography is a qualitative research approach which is self-reflective and which seeks to address social issues with which the author comes into contact. This study is about the experience of the authors and one personal experience in the study focuses on a holiday trip to Australia, in 2017, and on certain events that warranted documenting during that trip, including events that took place with locals. Another (very different) personal experience involves the reflections of a concert violinist and his teachings. How may one avoid injury in violin players right from the outset of the learning process? What is the role of the equipment used? An objective of the study is to get major research publications to view autoethnography with different eyes. Brainstorming sessions were held in Master's degree and PhD classes on research methodology to help shed light on this issue and the results show that students are interested in autoethnography and do consider it a worthwhile academic research endeavor. An alternative of course is to do traditional research, as one set of reviewers for a journal stated to the lead author, involving questionnaires and interviews and focus groups. What is argued, however, is that an enriching personal experience is worth communicating and understanding, in depth, and in more theoretical terms, if it is seen to benefit communities at large and if lessons may be learned. Academia may have some trouble in making autoethnography a mainstream method, as some authors have stated. Looking at events as an outsider, from our own “cultural window”, from a different context, and narrating what one observes to be different, is essential if one wants to publish worthwhile autoethnographic research accounts. Autoethnography questions cultural assumptions, behaviours and values. Note that specific target audiences should be considered as what is normal in one environment may not be in the next, and here lies the power of autoethnography - in its being able to capture the difference.

Abstract
In today’s world, technology is an indispensable part of our daily life. More and more products are produced to satisfy the needs of a growing population and the Internet is creating new services every day. However, to be able to keep up with the growing demand, new technologies needed to be invented to increase the pace of production and to lower costs. Automating tasks was the solution and for many years machines did repetitive tasks, replaced people and created new and better jobs to substitute the old ones. Nowadays automation is reaching incredible levels and it is not creating enough jobs to replace the old ones. Will unemployment increase in the upcoming years or will humanity be able to adapt to a different job market? Our study focuses on the types of unemployment caused by automation and on the possible solutions that society needs to implement. The research also points out how people from different social classes face the changing job market and how all can benefit from it. A new form of governance of society may be needed, in view of previous failed forms including fascism, communism, and, more recently, liberalism. In the future there will be fewer and fewer jobs that cannot be replaced by a robot. With this, the probability of mass unemployment is very high. An ideology promoting a Universal Basic Income could be a solution to combat the massive unemployment that automation may cause in the future, especially in medium-skilled jobs. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.

Abstract
A big concern in seeking to understand the evolution of the future of jobs and the demand for skills with the increase of automation is shown by the wide range of existing literature regarding the subject. This study gathers relevant information about the topics of: automation, the future of employment, advantages and disadvantages of technological changes, changes in the range of skills and if people are ready for the future changes or not. Firstly, the authors give an overview on the main topics that will be discussed later on in the article and construct a theoretical framework based on the current literature. Secondly, the methodology is presented namely the field work involving 21 interviews. After that, the interview results are analyzed, discussed and compared with what was shown in the literature review. The results revealed that people in general are not aware of the impact that automation will have on their working environment. Additionally, the authors concluded that existing education systems should be reformulated since the portfolio of skills will change in the future. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Fake news, fabricated stories, rumours, misleading headlines (the so-called clickbaits) are nothing new. The difference of the current context is how fast and wide they spread online, mainly through social network websites, reaching sometimes millions of users. Recently, this problem gained visibility due to its influence on political systems, especially electoral processes and political polarization. The current study addresses these matters, studying how users interact with news in social media platforms, with a deeper insight concerning Facebook and Twitter. The findings not only provide evidence of the importance of social networks as gateways for news, but our data also shows that consumer trust in news is worryingly low, combined with high levels of concern about false news stories. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
This paper evaluates the success of an innovative web platform created in 2011 by the Institute for Financing Agriculture and Fisheries (IFAP) named "IFAP Private Account" in which the farmer was registered and accessed their data, their history of correspondence with the Institute, checking the forms they had already submitted as well inspections carried out in the field or administratively. In 2011 the ordinance 86/2011 was published that dictated new procedures by the Institute of Financing of Agriculture and Fisheries, I.P. (IFAP) as the institution allocated the managing of the EAGF (European Agricultural Guarantee Fund) and the EAFRD (European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development). Gradually, the functionalities included in this platform increased the possibility for farmers to submit application forms in their own private accounts. Later, in 2014, IFAP released an APP for Android and iOS smartphones where the beneficiary has access to his or her private account in a faster and more convenient way. For the enabling framework of the target audience of the study it was imperative to do a literature review to carry out an economic and social analysis of the sector and the population living in rural areas and manual labour and agricultural entrepreneurs. Therefore, to understand and characterize IFAP's target public (farmers/beneficiaries) as well as the wherewithal and knowledge they have to access their own private account in an autonomous way, quantifying and characterizing the type of access was a priority. Headquartered in low-density areas, agricultural entrepreneurs present unique opportunities for innovation and differentiation and, at the same time, experience several barriers to growth. Some of these barriers are mentioned in the article in order to raise awareness of the difficulties presented by farmers and inhabitants of rural and peripheral areas. Thus, surveys were directed to farmers and technicians in grassroots entities (associations and cooperatives) in order to understand whether users carry out access to the reserved area autonomously or if they need assistance from others in doing so.
