IMMONDICES (FULU), A VERY POWERFUL ANTI-EROSIVE IN THE BADIADINGI DISTRICT OF SELEMBAOThe study focused on the analysis of materials and gully restoration methods at the various erosive sites in the Badiadingi district. It also analyzed the origins, transport methods and composition of the materials. Both biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes were found.VAGRANT CURRENTS IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE PIGEON DISTRICT IN THE NGALIEMA COMMUNEDisconnecting primary and secondary neutral grounds in an environment has often led to a reduction or elimination of stray currents, while re-establishing the connections has caused problems to reappear.Under certain circumstances, alternating currents can be life-threatening, and so far it has been difficult to obtain regulatory texts on stray currents at any level of government. Only a few US states recognize the harmful effects of stray currents.

The purpose of this sociolinguistic research work is to observe the behaviour of the dull alveolar fricative phoneme /s/ in different variables such as age, sex, occupation, social class and level of schooling in the city of Tegucigalpa. A descriptive-sociolinguistic correlational study of the inhabitants of Tegucigalpa, including the different socio-cultural strata. Thus, a spontaneous interview was applied in which the time was consulted with the aim of listening for the phoneme at the end of words such as two, three, six and ten, with preference given to the word three. The user's linguistic attitudes are reflected in the sociolinguistic variation of a phoneme that presents five allophonic realisations in the Spanish spoken in Tegucigalpa, and these variations show that heterogeneity is inherent to language in a society that offers multiple occupations with actors who know how to modify their attitude.

The present work consists of a descriptive, retrospective and linear study carried out in the intensive care unit of the "Gral. Calixto García" University Hospital of patients diagnosed with potentially fatal asthma over a period of four years. The general objective of this study was to characterise mechanical ventilation in these patients. In this study, the place of intubation and initiation of mechanical ventilation, the type of ventilation applied to these patients, the most frequent asthma pattern, the use or not of sedation and sedation/relaxation, the most frequent complications and the isolated germs are fundamentally presented.

Tourism in Bamoun Country: 1985-2010" is the theme of this analysis. Bamoun country is a spatial entity founded in 1394 by Nshare Yen, the very first king of the Bamoun dynasty. It is located in the highlands of West Cameroon and is today known as the Noun department, according to the administrative division. With its many cultural, heritage and historical treasures, this area is one of Cameroon's most popular tourist destinations. The construction of the sumptuous palace in 1917 by the most famous king of the Njoya dynasty, the 17th king, aroused the curiosity of the national and international community to travel to the Bamoun kingdom. The implementation of decree no. 85/1172 of August 24, 1985, clarifying the status of the National Administration in charge of tourism, as well as the renovation of the palace and the upgrading of Bamoun art through the creation of a museum, have accelerated tourism in this locality.This study analyzes the likely contribution of tourism to local development in the Noun department.

This book is part of improving ideal indoor conditions and providing an optimal level of comfort for staff working in the administrative building housing the Planning, Environment and Gender divisions, woman, family and child of the P.M.K.O site located 8 km from MBUJIMAYI on the MBUJIMAYI ¿ MIABI axis, in the commune of BIPEMBA. It concerns the air conditioning of the building's offices using the variable refrigerant flow (DRV) system. This work consists of determining the thermal balance of 15 offices and a meeting room.To do this, we first determined the different thermal inputs of the building in order to choose the DRV air conditioning system. Subsequently, we first quantified the building's electricity requirement, then we used the most unfavorable sunshine of the year to be certain of being able to cover the load requirements during the year by sizing a photovoltaic installation. which will ensure the operation of the DRV air conditioning system and all of the building's electrical equipment.

The decisive role that teachers must play to ensure the educational inclusion of students with special educational needs is currently recognized. However, it is also widely accepted that most of the time teachers have not been prepared to respond to quality education for all students with a positive attitude. This constitutes an enormous challenge for primary education institutions. For this reason we have taken into account the application of a group of methods, which allow us to find the main potentialities and needs in the investigated problematic. Based on these considerations, this text offers a group of actions that make up a methodological strategy conceived with the objective of modifying the attitudes of Primary Education teachers in the municipality of Camajuaní. It works for the achievement of good inclusive practices from the specialized attention required by the education of schoolchildren with special educational needs. The effectiveness of the strategy was demonstrated and its generalization to the rest of the school teachers was recommended.

The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between COVID-19 and ergonomic risks at the Customs Office, Tarapoto, 2020. A non-experimental study, with a correlational design, the population and sample consisted of 39 collaborators, the technique used was the survey and the instrument was the questionnaire. The result, according to the correlation coefficient of 0.837 which, according to the established parameters, determined the relationship between variables, there was a positive and high relationship, with a degree of significance (bilateral) of 0.000 which, being less than the expected alpha (Sig. < 0.05) we proceeded to accept the research hypothesis, concluding that: employees are not prepared to confront this pandemic, causing them to put the entire institution at ergonomic risk; that is, the greater the fear of COVID-19, the greater the ergonomic risk.

La cerámica es un sólido inorgánico no metálico, formado por compuestos metálicos o no metálicos que se han formado y luego calentado a altas temperaturas. Generalmente son materiales duros, resistentes a la corrosión y quebradizos. El término cerámica deriva de la palabra griega keramikos que significa alfarería. Está relacionado con la antigua lengua indoeuropea y significa calor. Los materiales cerámicos generalmente se producen utilizando arcilla y otros minerales terrestres o polvos procesados químicamente. Las cerámicas pueden ser de naturaleza cristalina y son compuestos de componentes metálicos y no metálicos como aluminio y oxígeno (aluminio), silicona y nitrógeno (nitruro de silicio) y silicona y carbono (carburo de silicio). El carácter especial de los materiales cerámicos da lugar a muchas aplicaciones en ingeniería de materiales, ingeniería eléctrica, ingeniería química y mecánica. Como la cerámica es resistente al calor, se puede utilizar para muchas tareas para las que materiales como el metal y los polímeros no son adecuados.

The aim of this study is to identify the different types of pressure exerted by lowland farmers in the Ziama Biosphere Reserve. A structured survey was carried out among lowland farmers to identify the causes of human pressure. Linear transects 1km long were also used to record the types of anthropogenic degradation around the lowlands. The study showed that 0.5 to 2 ha of lowlands are granted to the population, and a head of household is responsible for 1 to 15 people. Then, 8 types of anthropogenic degradation were recorded, of which logging is the most dominant, with 82 plant species destroyed, 44 of which are on the IUCN list. This study constitutes a database for the management of protected areas, which would contribute to the mitigation of pressures on forest ecosystems.

It is a fact that high school classrooms are full of passive and uninvolved students, whose main objective is not to learn and train for life. This lack of motivation and lack of stimuli is becoming of increasing interest to teachers, who are currently immersed in a constant search for innovative methods to respond to the problems that have arisen.The following innovative proposal aims to improve the levels of motivation and participation of students in a secondary school in Seville in response to the low interest shown by students in high schools, in general, and in the subject of physical education, in particular.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, regardless of the country's economic status. We studied 50 patients admitted to the Bragança Medical-Surgical Emergency Service of the Nordeste Local Health Unit who were diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction in 2015 and 2016, with the aim of describing the circadian rhythm of acute myocardial infarction. Of the 50 patients studied, 52 per cent were male and the most common age group was 80 to 89 years old (38 per cent), with an average age of 79.64 years, ranging from 41 to 101 years old. The predominant cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes. The onset of acute myocardial infarction symptoms occurred mostly between 6 and 12 hours. The average time of onset was 10 hours and 1 minute. On average, the patients in this study took 4 hours and 22 minutes between symptom onset and admission to the emergency department. The mortality rate for the patients studied was 34 per cent.

This book addresses the concept of solar protection of buildings in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. We start from the assertion that high radiation has a significant impact on conductivity through the constructive elements of buildings, determining pronounced thermal gains through opaque and glazed surfaces, the latter being more critical due to their characteristic of thermal impermeability to the return of the heat gained.

Rationale: There is an underestimation of the significance of lipemia as an indicator of health problem in individuals who come to donate blood. Objectives: To estimate the prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and to measure their association with the presence of lipemia in blood donors. Methods: Descriptive observational analytical case-control study (33 and 66 respectively) carried out in the Provincial Blood Bank of Cienfuegos, from March to October 2015. Cases were identified as positive in the predonation lipemia test and controls, with negative test. The following variables were considered: eligible and ineligible donors, lipemia, age, sex, smoking, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, abdominal waist, body mass index, triglycerides, total cholesterol and its fractions. Results: Lipemia represented 30.6% of the causes of rejection in blood donors. The main risk factors found were increased HDL cholesterol, obesity, hypertriglyceridemia, smoking and arterial hypertension.Conclusions: Donors with lipemia have unfavorable cardiometabolic profile.

The subject of raising children has been much researched over the last few decades, and among the issues involved is parenting styles. In the early stages of childhood, children always need someone to support them. Most of the time, this support and teaching is passed on by parents or carers, and this set of attitudes adopted by parents is called parenting style. Parental style is defined by the combination of attitudes of discipline and emotional support in relationships with children. The study of parenting styles makes it possible to investigate the relationship between parents and children and avoids the risk of misinterpretations regarding associations between isolated aspects of parental coexistence. The study focused on national scientific production on parenting styles, constituting an exploratory and descriptive literature review. They were subdivided into 10 categories. These were Adolescence, Scales and measures in the different theories of parenting styles, Violence, Pathologies, Professional Indecision, School Context, Social Skills, Parenting Practices, Positive Coping Strategies and Family Configuration.

This book analyses the differences in quality perception, satisfaction and multitasking behaviour of virtual consumers from generations X, Y and Z in relation to digital technologies. It shows that there are differences between the generations in terms of both perceived quality and e-commerce experiences, and that these differences are also evident in relation to digital technologies. Scales were applied to measure each of the constructs analysed, making it possible to have a reliable assessment in order to reach important conclusions in the context proposed.

Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes loss of autonomy and memory in people who suffer from it. Due to the increase of cases of this disease and the lack of accuracy of diagnostic tools, new tools capable of reducing this problem are being developed.The main objective is to implement a three-dimensional convolutional neural network model with AlexNet3D type base structure to obtain the prediction of a possible diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) from the analysis of magnetic resonance images, using as an early stage the mild cognitive impairment syndrome (MCI).This project will provide an explanation of each proposed phase, which were divided into database selection, feature selection, data processing, model development for training and validation, and finally, results obtained from the prediction tests.

The aesthetic success of any prosthetic restoration depends on the right choice of shape, color and surface finish. Reproducing the optical properties of a natural tooth, to ensure biomimicry, is a real aesthetic challenge, given the subjectivity of the visual choice. The choice of shade guide must be well thought-out, respecting an effective protocol and taking into account the three dimensions of color: brightness, saturation and tooth shade. In order to standardize this step and improve its reliability, assistance tools and objective color measurement instruments have been developed. The aim of this paper is to define the physiology of color perception and review the optical properties of teeth. The second part explains the classic color measurement protocol. The last part focuses on the contribution of digital technology during this stage.

It is accepted that the principle of integral protection is one of the most fundamental, but we cannot say that it has more influence than the other principles regulated by the Statute of the Child and Adolescent. The fact that it is so important is due to the fact that it is at the beginning of the legislation. With the spread of the ECA, children and adolescents have been introduced to the community in need of specialised care. The Doctrine of Integral Protection, which originated in the Convention, guides the reception of children and adolescents. It is therefore imperative that the state and society, through actions aimed at devising public policies, put in place local reception flowcharts provided by governmental or non-governmental organisations. It is well known that children and adolescents are subjects of rights and duties. However, in order to guarantee these rights, the procedures for implementing the child and adolescent care policy are laid down in a specific statute, through governmental and non-governmental actions by the Union, the States, the Federal District and the Municipalities.

The Theory of Constraints (TOC) is a recent theory that emerged with the aim of managing the constraints that limit a system's capacity. Parallel to TOC is the drum-lung-rope method (TPC), which is directly related to the exploitation of the constraint (drum) through the use of lungs and synchronisation between the productive links (rope). In this context, the following study aims to apply the TPC method in an automotive industry. To develop the application, the company's layout, the logical structure of the product (engine A) and the production route were illustrated; then the capacity of the machines at each station was calculated, the constraint identified and the type and size of the lung defined. As a result, machine 1 (M01) at station 1 (E1) was identified as the line constraint (drum) and a 5-engine dispatch buffer was defined to cover line stops.

When we look at the teaching process that our children and adolescents go through, we can see how much each one needs an individualised approach. In group coexistence, the social apparently submerges the individual, but it is precisely in this context of social relations that the individual contributes what is peculiar to them. The constant question then arises of how to provide the means for students to feel stimulated in this learning process.

Instrumental fracture in endodontics is a complication that hinders the success of endodontic treatment. Several treatment options may be available to the practitioner. Management of instrumental fracture should be based on a thorough understanding of the success rates of each treatment option.The management of instrumental fractures ranges from a conservative orthograde approach represented essentially by removal or bypass, to a more radical and invasive surgical approach such as apical resection or root amputation, which should be indicated only as a last resort.A wide range of removal kits are available, including tube extractors, and some practitioners even use homemade techniques using H-files or syringe needles. However, when properly mastered, the use of ultrasound has proved to be the safest and most effective method for instrument removal. The aim of this paper is to detail the management of instrument fractures in endodontics.

Analysing the school's main objectives and the role it plays in the lives of adolescents during secondary school, this study proposes the need for education in emotions, given that stress and suicide rates are increasingly high in the fifteen to twenty-four age group. To support this work, bibliographical research was carried out with authors who are references in positive psychology, as well as in the field of education, including Maria Montessori, Edgar Morin, Ilona Boniwell and Martin Seligman. A qualitative-quantitative sample survey was also carried out, using a questionnaire applied to secondary school teachers from four Brazilian schools, with the aim of understanding the position and understanding of these educational actors on the subject.

Since the appearance of human beings' interest in expressing their feelings and emotions through art, there has always been a constant search for new materials, tools and procedures on the part of the artist in order to carry out his work as a creator. Throughout the twentieth century, we have had the opportunity to see how techniques as common in painting as the famous oil, acrylic or gouache, and in drawing such as charcoal, pastel or graphite, among many others, have been consolidated. But in 1937, especially by Wolfgang Paalen, a rare pictorial procedure never seen before in the history of art was discovered, called Fumage, a technique based on the black staining produced by the soot from the smoke of a flame on any surface. I have focused this work on it, through my own work and the research carried out over the last two years through pure experimentation.

This publication consists of an investigation into some of the practices of historical memory carried out in Chile through Art in Public Space. To this end, it develops a conceptual and historical analysis that goes from the "Commemorative Statuary" typical of the new American republics of the early nineteenth century, to the "Memorial Monuments" developed during the post-dictatorship democratic governments of the early twenty-first century. This analysis focuses on two case studies in reference to the capacity of this type of production to generate "Historical Memory", allowing us to reflect in particular on the location of each of these pieces in the public framework and their repercussions at the socio-political, urban design and identity levels. The study pieces "Un lugar en la Memoria-Paine" and "Mujeres en la Memoria", from Santiago.

The university institution requires teachers with knowledge and skills in their professional training, but education for peace is also indispensable, with a view to social transformation, especially in an environment with notable levels of violence, such as contemporary Venezuela. For this reason, the peace education programme is offered to teachers at the Universidad Nacional Experimental del Táchira. The programme proposes objectives, strategies and contents to facilitate and promote learning; it is based on theoretical references on education for peace, such as the culture of peace and violence and conflict. It raises the axiological implications, by means of the experiential pedagogical approach, through the socio-affective methodology and the non-violent conflict model. With the execution of this contribution, it is hoped that the teaching staff will appropriate guidelines or elements that will guide their behaviour as university teachers towards the construction of a culture of peace.
