The study of the Political Process, Insurgency and Memory of the Apra in Ayacucho involves events that gave rise to a whole political culture and were constructed in memories that were subsequently transmitted from generation to generation among the militants of the Peruvian Aprista Political Party, endowed with a greater sense, they are also frameworks that give meaning to the concrete memories constructed by the apristas, things in which one or more generations feel that they have lived through great processes that have changed their destiny. On the other hand, these events of the insurgency, the persecutions and imprisonments suffered basically during the dictatorial governments are at the same time symbolic social references because they incite the new apristas to identify with it, which is why it has a symbolic tradition in the aprista culture of Ayacucho.

The work is devoted to an independent multidimensional problem related to the detection, investigation and prevention of cattle theft. A comprehensive study from the standpoint of the theory of criminal procedure, forensics, operational-investigative activity and other sciences. The activity of investigation and inquiry bodies on realization of interaction in disclosure of crimes of mercenary orientation in rural areas is considered, many aspects of which need further theoretical illumination and enrichment with practical experience. The monograph is designed for undergraduate students, masters and doctoral students of law schools, practitioners of law enforcement agencies, and can also be used in the educational process of higher educational institutions of legal profile.

Defying conventional approaches to external growth, symbiotic acquisitions open up a new era in innovation and value creation. This type of external growth, far from simply bringing together similar assets (cost synergies), relies on the unprecedented combination of complementary resources to create joint innovation.These acquisitions are therefore bold, innovative responses to emerging market challenges. They require a profound rethinking of the partners' strategic paradigms, paving the way for the acquisition of new skills and the redefinition of business models.However, navigating the waters of symbiosis is not without its challenges. Intense tensions can emerge, oscillating between strategic control and functional autonomy, the exploitation of existing resources and the exploration of new territories.This book guides you through the complex maze of symbiotic acquisitions, shedding light on their intentions, challenges and disruptive potential in an ever-changing business world.

This work is part of a general project that includes the study of algal dynamics in lenitic systems in the province of La Pampa. The objective was to know and categorize the phycoflora of Laguna Ea. Ansín, belonging to the Luan Lauquen system (Dpto. Capital). Biological, physical-chemical and seasonal environmental samplings were carried out between May and December 2011. Of the total number of species recorded, the Chlorophyceae class showed the highest specific richness with 86 taxa, followed by Cyanophyceae (32), Bacillariophyceae (23), Euglenophyceae (12) and Chrysophyceae (1). The degree of phycological community similarity throughout the sampling period ranged from 41.5 ¿ 47%. The results of the Nygaard indices applied qualify the lagoon as eutrophic, typical of the Pampean region, characterized by alkaline pH and low salinity waters. The saprophytic status of the basin (S= 2.32) established from the bioecology of the organisms classifies it within the ¿-mesosaprobic range of moderately polluted waters.

In what ways do teachers alternate between different art languages to teach the European Avant-garde? How can teachers use technology to help them learn about the European Avant-garde? Faced with any of these questions, I try to understand how teachers use the European Avant-garde in their art classes and how they relate to the present day. From this, I reflect on my pedagogical practice as a future art teacher who must continually seek continuing education.

Ma del Socorro Martinez. This project describes some basic areas of a laboratory, as well as routine studies that are performed on patients who come to request clinical service. These activities of the Laboratory are proper of the Pharmaceutical Chemist Biologist to report the results of the analyses performed that are of valuable utility for the prevention, diagnosis, support to the treatment and follow-up of diseases.

In this work, we seek to understand, from the theoretical-methodological perspective of Discourse Analysis, the imaginary formation and the subjectivities produced by it in the discursiveness of the Portuguese Language community on Facebook. In the material we analysed, we identified three predominantly functioning imaginaries: the "Imaginary of linguistic correctness" affiliated with the memory of colonisation, signifying the fluid Brazilian language as wrong, flawed, while the imaginary language of normative grammar is signified as the correct language. The "Linguistic imaginary of Lusophony", also affiliated with the discourses of colonisation, signifying the Portuguese language as one and the Brazilian language as a flawed copy of the language of Portugal. The "Imaginary of globalisation" is affiliated by meaning to the discourses of colonisation and the discourses of linguistic decolonisation. These imaginaries constitute the imaginary formation that shapes meanings in the Portuguese language community, producing subjectivities split by the functioning, in the form of contradiction, of the discursive memory of colonisation and the discursive memory of decolonisation.

Already a metropolis, Salvador, Brazil's first capital, developed by leaps and bounds. The city's voracious development was due to a number of historical events, which caused the city to prosper economically for several years. The huge urban sprawl that continues to this day has increased the degradation and fragmentation of natural resources. The capital of Bahia is currently facing major socio-environmental challenges as a result of disorganised progress over the years. In Salvador, as in most Brazilian capitals, the balance between city development and nature conservation is insipient and continually misaligned, devastating green areas and rivers, for example. Rivers deserve special attention because they are the source of the most indispensable resource for maintaining life: water. Rio de Janeiro's rivers are feeling the intense impacts of urban pressure, including the capital's largest river, the Rio Camarajipe, which is waiting for the support of its people. In order to show the benefits of river revitalisation, this paper takes the Camarajipe as an example and proposes interventions with an emphasis on sustainable sanitation.

One of today's biggest challenges has been to reduce the alarming rates of sedentary lifestyles. Adherence to regular physical activity is a very promising subject in exercise and sports science worldwide. This book is made up of two undergraduate course completion papers (TCC) in physical education from the Estácio de Sá University, which set out to investigate and discuss issues related to motivation for the practice of physical activity by the elderly in open or closed environments, as well as the practice of beach tennis by people of different age groups, respectively. It is hoped that it will contribute not only to reflections on the art of exercise prescription in the day-to-day life of physical education professionals, but will also serve to guide and inspire new CBT students.

The genetic variability of 30 individuals of Stevia rebaudiana [Bertoni] from the germplasm collection of INTA EEA Cerro Azul (Instituto Nacional de Tecnología Agropecuaria, Estación Experimental Cerro Azul) was determined by applying Inter Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSR) molecular markers. From the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) analysis, two clusters were defined that group the individuals by their genetic distances calculated according to the DICE index, obtaining a similarity that is in the range of 0.57 to 0.89. With the molecular data provided, targeted crosses could be projected for future genetic improvement programs of the species, without compromising the diversity found in this collection.

This research work refers to the evaluation of teaching performance, which was carried out in a real situation based on the interests of those involved in the educational community that is the object of our study.

The high incidence of severe and profound hearing loss, the increase in life expectancy, hearing loss detection programs, the dissemination of the benefits of cochlear implants and the improvements in social coverage, generated an increase in the number of cochlear implant users and encouraged the creation of teams of professionals specialized in this field. On the other hand, the constant technological advances achieved by the manufacturers of implantable hearing devices demand a permanent updating by professionals. That is why the idea of creating this book arose, which is intended for those audiologists who are starting or are in their first years of programming. It aims to share audiological information on the current management of Cochlear R cochlear implants in order to maximize the quality of the information provided and promote the use of the devices. The different parameters, measurements and modifications to create and optimize a programming MAP are described.

The central idea of this work is to analyse the relationship between Public Spending and Economic Growth in Mozambique between 2001 and 2013, using econometric tests. Although there are various types of spending, the focus was on spending on education, defence and national security, which was chosen because education is the basis of society and because of the levels of illiteracy that the country still has, and spending on defence and national security because of the high value it is usually given in relation to other key sectors of the national economy.

This book develops a hydrological model of the upper and lower watersheds of the communities of the municipality of Vinto, where the following methodology was followed: definition of the spatial and temporal domain, creation and development of the model, calibration of the hydrological model, creation of future scenarios, evaluation of the data output. The WEAP (Water Evaluation And Planning System) tool was used for the study, generating and identifying options for decision-makers on the allocation of water for irrigation in the most vulnerable communities, allowing to prioritize their demands and to be attended with other projects of municipal or departmental competence.

Textile concrete (TC) is a composite made of fine-grained hydraulic concrete structured with a non-metallic material, which can be alkali-resistant glass fibre, carbon or aramid. This composite has a number of advantages over conventional reinforced concrete, one of which is that there is no need for an extra concrete cover to protect the steel, which saves on the mass of the component materials and reduces the weight of the final piece, with a direct impact on transport and labour costs. Considering that this material is prominent in the current market and that Brazil has an embryonic level of research on the subject, this work aims to adapt methodologies used in the production of textile concrete to the Brazilian reality, with the aim of demonstrating that Brazil is capable of carrying out new studies and even producing the new composite from materials present in the country.

The aim of this study was to analyse different batches of saved soya seeds produced in the northern region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The aim was to identify the physical, physiological and sanitary qualities of these seeds. Currently, the seeds saved by producers do not have a standard to be followed and used, as the areas are chosen based on the judgement that they are the best, making it possible to store them in bags or sacks in the post-harvest period, without the necessary mapping. What should be taken into account is that these seeds should, as a rule, be stored with the right moisture content, free from mechanical damage and weed seeds, and with all the necessary field treatment that a supervised seed field or sowing centre has. Saved soya bean seeds do not have the minimum stability needed to be safe for sowing, nor do they have the physical, physiological and sanitary quality to be considered a future problem for producers.

This Diploma thesis was based on the need of the Incoming Agency AMISTUR CUBA S.A., belonging to the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples, to project strategic actions related to Promotional Communication in order to position itself internationally as a leading incoming agency specialized in Sociopolitical Tourism. In accordance with the fact that this type of tourism, which pursues the loyalty of friends to the island and the satisfaction of interaction needs with the Cuban Social System, concerns communication modes different from other types of tourism, the research was focused on the realization of a diagnosis of the Management of the Promotional Communication of the receptive during the period 2010-2013, addressed to Tour Operators, Travel Agencies and Friendship Associations, who constitute its main clients. Basically based on theoretical-methodological conceptions in this regard and the application of empirical methods such as observation, in-depth interviews and surveys to the target public, it allowed proposing a set of recommendations, as a premise for the improvement of the management of the travel agency's Promotional Communication.

Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide, and in recent years there has been a worrying increase in its incidence in the pediatric population. It is currently accepted that the increase in the prevalence of childhood obesity is due to an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure, but there are a percentage of cases derived from the existence of underlying genetic, endocrinological or syndromic alterations that must be taken into account, since they grow as the pathophysiological knowledge of obesity increases. Metabolic programming, the role that environment and nutrition play during critical periods of development, is known to play a very important role in the development of obesity. The rationale for this book is to assess the prevalence of hypertension in children with obesity and to obtain sufficient data to formulate a recommendation regarding the performance of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring in patients with obesity.

The revision of the Uniform Act on the Harmonization of General Commercial Law on December 15, 2010 added a new legal vehicle: that of the entrepreneur. This new legal status formalizes the exercise of informal activities by independent professionals, and broadens the framework of economic activity under the law of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA), by simplifying the formalities for access to the status of entrepreneur compared with that of trader, from registration to declaration, it allows, under this new status, the exercise of civil, commercial, craft and agricultural professional activities. Despite its promise of success, the new status of entrepreneur can, in some respects, be seen as an unfinished reform, ineffective in the Democratic Republic of Congo, particularly from the point of view of legal certainty on the one hand, and on the other, the question of the non-substitution of the status of entrepreneur for that of small businessman. In this work, I examine directly the causes and consequences of the ineffectiveness of the entrepreneur.

Heavy metal poisoning is a serious public health problem and mainly affects populations near mining centers. The objective of this study was to quantify the concentrations of Mercury(Hg), Lead(Pb) and Arsenic(As) in urine samples of children and adolescents working in Cerro el Toro in the mining community of Shiracmaca, Huamachuco, Peru.

The main objective of this work is to know, analyze, diagnose and based on this analysis and diagnosis, plan functional and successful strategies for an industrial company. It is important for any type of company to know where it is positioned today, and to have full knowledge of where they want to go, which is why a proposal for mission and vision was developed, structured as established in the various supporting literature and thus be able to define the short and long term objectives. The internal strengths and weaknesses were analyzed, which are the activities that the organization can control and that perform very well or very poorly. The external factors that affect the activities and performance of the company were analyzed through the company's direct competitors. To conclude the work, a strategic formulation proposal was made to make decisions based on objective information.

With the exponential advance of internet use, a virtual environment has emerged where people can interact, share ideas, form communities and use social networks. These platforms not only allow everyday interactions, but have also become spaces for socialization and integration for fans of audiovisual productions. In this context, transmedia, which uses various platforms to expand narratives, finds powerful tools to strengthen its strategies. The aim of exploring the significance of this theme is to highlight its importance and, above all, to demonstrate how social media can be used to develop stories, collaborating with the objectives set when choosing this theme. National and international examples will be presented of audiovisual productions that have made use of social media to involve the public, creating broad, engaging narratives that have maintained their relevance before, during and after their premieres.

It is the school the one that has the task to form feelings of love towards its own in the pupils. Geography is a discipline that favors the development of the patriotic feeling, because to know well accidents, facts and outstanding geographical objects of the native country, produces in the individual such a sensation, that when being remembered in any circumstance and place, it contributes to strengthen and to maintain the love towards its land. To study in depth its geography, the nature in which it lives, is a firm path to form the love towards the homeland, because on the base of solid knowledge about the native land, values, feelings of friendship and solidarity are developed. The study of the locality is particularly important because it constitutes a guiding principle in the teaching of Geography, it has its antecedents in the subjects The World We Live In in the first cycle, Natural Sciences in fifth and sixth grade, Geography also in its basic cycle, stimulates the interest of the students towards nature and society, contributes to the ideological, political, ethical and aesthetic development, aspects that influence the formation of the student's personality.

This memoir paints the picture of an African SME in the construction and public works sector, struggling to manage its business: unpaid government bills, banks with excess liquidity refusing to lend, widespread corruption, opaque corporate governance and shareholders impatient to get their shares back. In this climate, the need for an upgrading plan becomes obvious. This plan defines a strategy, based on a diagnosis. The plan then sets out the activities to be carried out within a reasonable timescale, for a resolution plan based on convincing hypotheses and strategic choices structured according to the verification of these hypotheses. In this way, performance is steered by a Research and Development unit, which does not yet exist in many structures. This unit defines the probable phase of decline and readjusts according to environmental factors and the target market. This upgrading plan therefore defines the optimum strategy for the company in difficulty, based on an objective diagnosis, and then proposes an exit plan to resolve the situation.

In children, rhinitis, which is common in asthma, may be associated with poor asthma control. The aim of our study was to investigate the prevalence of rhinitis in asthmatic children and its relationship with asthma control.This prospective study involved 113 asthmatic children followed over 12 months. The mean age was 8.5 years and the gender-ratio was 1.09. Allergic rhinitis was associated with asthma in 48% of cases, mild in 25%, moderate to severe in 24%, intermittent in 44% and persistent in 66%. Asthma control was good (47%), fair (25%) and poor (27%). Significant factors in asthma non-control were association with severe AR, allergen exposure, poor compliance, lack of education, etc. Sinusitis, allergic conjunctivitis and atopic dermatitis were significantly more frequent when asthma was associated with rhinitis. The combination of asthma and rhinitis reduces asthma control and increases other manifestations of atopy. A multidisciplinary approach involving paediatricians and ENT specialists is therefore essential.

This book introduces the reader to prototyping, i.e. the manufacture of prototypes, more specifically prototyping by material removal. A prototype can be considered a virtual or physical study object used in the recursive design process, the aim of which is to provide feedback on a qualitative or quantitative characteristic that you want to evaluate before making a decision on the final product. The use of prototypes is increasingly present in the daily lives of companies developing some kind of product, due to the wide range of options for materials, tools and machines. However, the whole logic behind prototyping machines is not revealed by developers and manufacturers. In this way, this book fulfills a didactic role in presenting prototyping scholars and those who see the need to build a prototype of their product with a prototype manufacturing method: how to extract information from 3D models, generate intelligible codes for manufacturing machines and all the strategy involved in generating the tool path of a computer numerical control (CNC) machine.

Biotechnology is an extensive and complex area, crossed by multiple approaches or points of view. In particular, Molecular Biotechnology is a subject taken simultaneously by students of Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry and Pharmacy. It is a subject that seeks to familiarise students with the techniques and fundamentals of biotechnology, providing them with a vision of the processes of genetic engineering and molecular biology applied in biotechnology. One of the complexities encountered in the teaching of the subject is that students develop their reports and practical work in isolation, without exploiting the possibility of collaborating or developing the analysis of their productions jointly with their peers from other degree courses.The Educational Intervention project deals with the development of formal instances of interdisciplinary group work among students of the subject Molecular Biotechnology (National University of Misiones). The proposed group learning device focuses on the application in the curricular space of an interdisciplinary group work for the integration of knowledge in biotechnology that is accredited as a final integrative work.

Since the stabilisation of the Brazilian currency and the growing appreciation of money, consumer goods have had a quantitative impact on the population, influenced by expansive monetary policies and easy consumption and credit. The aim of this study is to identify the mechanisms and operationalisation of monetary policies over the period 1995-2015, understanding the role that money and other variables play on economic agents and thus understanding how the market works by checking whether there is a correlation between money supply and economic growth.

This study will analyse the optional vote for voters aged over 16 and under 18, with the aim of thoroughly analysing art. 14, § 1, II, c, of the Federal Constitution. However, this analysis is not restricted to the aforementioned legislation, but also to highlight the precepts of infra-constitutional legislation, namely our Penal Code, more specifically art. 27, since it is through this that criminal unimputability is described, and also art. 107 of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (ECA).
