This publication shows Flaubert's interest in Greece Flaubert brought to Greece a personal mythology, whose interests and even structure needed Greece The pilgrimage to Greece was a quest for something relatively personal Flaubert seeking a homeland meant splendid things, contrasting with the greyness of the landscape of the French provinces. He wanted to bring Greece back to life, he had to restore it to himself and his readers, his experience of Greece in books and places and his language to express it would do the trick.

The work, the result of a master's degree research project, deals with the teaching of writing in the handouts of the Cecierj Foundation/Cederj Consortium Social Pre-Vestibular. The dialogical conception of language from the Bakhtinian circle is the foundation used to reflect on linguistic education. The aim of the work is to analyse the corpus, through didactic texts and activities that propose them, in order to observe the vision of language, genre of discourse and written production - and the effectiveness of teaching dissertative-argumentative texts; as well as to discuss the history, organization and working conditions of teachers in the pre-university entrance exam. The results point to the incidence of language understood as structure, since the text is seen as textual materiality unrelated to discursive aspects. Conceptions of language and text fluctuate, as does the deficient composition of the "entrance exam dissertation" written production tasks. The teachers are called "tutors", hired without labor rights, even though they work in person and at a distance. In this sense, the investigations focus on linguistic issues in the handouts, as well as problematizing the situation to which teachers are subjected in the PVS.

Vitamin B1 has the molecular formula C12H17N4OS. It is a metabolic precursor of thiamine pyrophosphate, the form activated in the liver, which enables carbohydrates to be converted into energy and ensures proper functioning of the nervous and muscular systems. Synthesized by bacteria, plants and fungi, it is involved in energy metabolism, mood regulation, heart failure and muscle pain. Vitamin B2 is required for the synthesis of flavin adenine dinucleotide and flavin mononucleotide. It is most often isolated from milk as lactoflavin, from eggs as ovoflavin and from liver as hepatoflavin. It is effective against fatigue, supports the nervous system, helps maintain red blood cells and is involved in iron metabolism. It is also involved in keratin synthesis.

Since the emergence of the new coronavirus, the covid-19 pandemic has caused over 140 million cases and three million deaths worldwide.Many fundamental questions remain as to the effectiveness of vaccines against COVID-19 in real-life situations, which can only be answered by vaccine efficacy studies conducted after their introduction.This document is a synthesis of numerous references on the immunological aspects of SARS-COV-2 infection and vaccination.

For most women, breast cancer and its frequent amputation encourage the development of negative consequences for their body image and, consequently, their sexuality. The breast is closely related to female identity, maturity, sexuality and motherhood, so the impact of mastectomy on women seems to be evident, and challenges emerge for perioperative nursing. With this in mind, we have produced this book, the main aim of which is to integrate and analyse data from studies carried out, contributing to a better understanding of the current situation and promoting the increasing quality of the care provided. The results of the studies show that body image impairment is directly related to the experience of sexuality, and that the more mutilating the surgery, the greater the body image impairment. In this context, nursing interventions, particularly of an informative nature, are extremely important as they facilitate adaptive processes.

This study was carried out as part of the Production Engineering project of the COPPE/UFRJ postgraduate program, under the Environmental Management research line. As a case study, we looked at a small imperial topaz mine located in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, which was being inspected by the State Environmental Agency, with the risk of its possible closure. A partnership agreement was signed between the company and the Mining Engineering Department of the School of Mines at the Federal University of Ouro Preto, in order to implement the model proposed here. The result was acceptance of the proposed measures by the Environmental Agency, which renewed the company's operating license.

Today, artificial intelligence encompasses a wide variety of subfields. These range from areas of general purpose, learning and perception, to more specific ones such as speech recognition, playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, writing poetry and diagnosing diseases. Artificial intelligence synthesizes and automates tasks that are in principle intellectual and is therefore potentially relevant to any field of human intellectual activities. In this sense, it is a genuinely universal field. Artificial intelligence is a new form of problem solving, including expert systems, robot handling and control, and processors, which attempts to integrate knowledge into such systems, in other words, an intelligent system capable of writing its own program. An expert system defined as a programming structure capable of storing and using knowledge about a given area that translates into its ability to learn. Similarly, AI can be considered as the ability of machines to use algorithms, learning from data.

Non-muscle-invasive bladder tumours (NMIBTs) are tumours with an unpredictable course. Endoscopic and histological prognostic factors have been identified, but remain insufficient, leading us to propose new molecular prognostic factors. 40 TVNIM were collected over a 6-year period (2008-2013), and immunohistochemical studies were carried out on E-cadherin, an intercellular adhesion molecule, and ¿-cathenin, a molecule associated with E-cadherin. An inverse correlation between E-cadherin on the one hand, and stage (p=0.001), grade (p=0.0000000), recurrence (p=0.0000000), progression (p=0.01), SSR (p=0.00000001) and PFS (p=0.01) on the other, was detected. There was also a correlation between beta-cathenin and stage (p=0.05), grade (p=0.02) and recurrence (p=0.02).The negativity of these two antibodies would make it possible to "screen" high-risk NMVTs, which could benefit from closer monitoring and/or more aggressive treatment.

This document is a collection of lecture notes from the "Distributed Software Engineering" module taught to students in the Computer Engineering stream at ENIS (Ecole Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Sfax, Tunisia). It presents the main concepts of the OMG CORBA standard. In the first part, the actual course notes are given. It consists of seven chapters covering the essential notions surrounding CORBA technology. In the second part, a set of tutorials is given. These consist of four tutorials of increasing complexity, applying the various concepts covered in the lecture section.

This book seeks to discuss perceptions of Afro-Brazilian religions, more specifically candomblé and umbanda, in Diamantina (MG) in the 1940s. It also proposes to investigate the relationship between these religions and their practitioners and the adherents of other religions present in the city. Using the press, especially the local newspapers Voz de Diamantina and A Estrela Polar, it was possible to reconstruct part of the trajectories of the Afro-Brazilian religions and their adherents, highlighting the importance of these religious practices for their participants, as well as for the preservation of the memory and culture of the local black population. This study also highlights important aspects of social relations in Diamantin, such as religious and cultural conflicts and disputes over religious hegemony in the city.

In this dissertation, we analyze Cândido de Figueiredo's linguistic thinking, which was often rigorous and normative in its descriptive approach to different grammatical phenomena. The first, between Cândido de Figueiredo and Paulino de Brito, deals with the placement of clitic pronouns, from a comparative perspective between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese; the second, between Cândido de Figueiredo and Heráclito Graça, covers issues of morphology and syntax, again within a normative framework, which points to certain innovative uses in the literary writing of Brazilian authors as errors. Our aim is to examine Cândido de Figueiredo's speeches and place them in the historical, social and cultural context of his time, so as to enable a more accurate assessment of his conservative ideas.

Law 54 of 1990 recognised property rights for heterosexual couples who lived together without being married. Subsequently, there were other forms of cohabitation between same-sex couples, who claimed their rights; the Court in Ruling T-911/ 2009, ordered in their favour the application of regulations in the sense of equity, with regard to property rights, then, in SU214/2016, the same body granted them the right to marry. Currently, there is a new alternative for family life, such as the formation of 'group families' represented in triads or quadriads, composed of homosexual or heterosexual persons, giving rise to legal consequences of a patrimonial and cultural nature that the Colombian legal system is not able to contemplate. The aim of this work is to formulate legal tools that allow for the recognition of the right to enter into civil marriages for group families, composed of heterosexual or homosexual persons, where the purpose is to receive protection of their rights.

Technical advances in radiological and endoscopic imaging have transformed medicine over the last seven decades. Because of its remarkable accessibility, the digestive tract has benefited fully from the endoscopic approach. There is an upper digestive tract and a lower digestive tract. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosing the upper gastrointestinal tract above the TREITZ angle. It is a method of visual exploration of the upper digestive tract through an optical tube fitted with a lighting system called an endoscope or fiberscope. This examination enables direct exploration of the mucosa of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum, in order to detect abnormalities and take samples. It is both diagnostic and therapeutic. It is performed through the natural tract, or through an incision that allows it to penetrate certain body cavities. Depending on the technique used, the procedure is performed under local or general anesthesia.

The aim of this work is to assess the Brazilian state's compliance with the judgement of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights in the case of Gomes Lund et al. It found that the Inter-American System for the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights was inaugurated in 1948 with the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man and became an important mechanism for realising human rights on the continent in 1979, with the establishment of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. In 2010, the Court found that Brazil had violated human rights recognised in the Pact of San José de Costa Rica. These violations occurred when the Brazilian state used excessive force to carry out a series of military activities aimed at eliminating an armed resistance movement to the government regime, which was being organised on the banks of the Araguaia River. It was noted that the sentence condemning the Brazilian state listed 12 reparation measures and that, despite the state's efforts, only four of these measures were fully complied with. Thus, it was concluded that the Brazilian state had partially complied with the sentence.

Born in 1826, Francisco Paulo de Almeida was the son of a slave and had his name erased from history. What are the reasons for the silence surrounding the life of this man with no real assets, in a period and space considered restricted and slave-like, who began life as a goldsmith, was a muleteer, belonged to the coffee oligarchy and owned several farms in the Paraíba valley, owned the Yellow Palace in Petrópolis and lived in Catete. He rose to nobility with the title of Baron of Guaraciaba and was a friend of Princess Isabel? Questions such as: What power relations were established by and for blacks who managed to occupy posts, titles and positions seen as "proper" to whites? What were the implications of holding the title of baronet in 19th century Brazil? What were the benefits and their implications? What were the specificities of being black and a baron in Brazil in the second half of the 19th century? What do these considerations reveal about that time, its customs and social relations? Finally, what did it mean for a black man to be part of this political and social high street?

Previously dominated by a few monthly magazines, journalism specializing in automobiles has been invaded by the agility of the internet and by several professionals working in other areas - not just journalists, but also engineers, pilots and even simple car enthusiasts without any academic preparation for the practice of journalism. Based on the theories of Zygmunt Bauman on liquid modernity and Anthony Giddens on expert systems, the author traces a profile of journalism since its inception, goes through the internet revolution, analyzes the automobile as a symbol of capitalism, observes the difficult transition from print to online journalism, reveals various facets of Automotive Journalism and ends by identifying changes in the social role of journalists. As the automobile has become an object of desire, undergoing constant updates, Automotive Journalism has had to rush to adapt. But this process has no deadline.

In this thesis, we describe the main contributions of our research activities. These activities fall within the theme of software architectures in an embedded distributed real-time context (TR2E). Four main contributions are described: dynamic reconfiguration, fault tolerance, multi-objective optimization and formal verification of TR2E systems. All these contributions are based on architecture description languages (ADLs) as the main modelling pillar. This is due to the very powerful expressive power of ADLs, which enable the global architecture of a system to be described before using model transformation and code generation techniques to carry out the various actions relating to each of the contributions. We make extensive use of these techniques to maximize automation and reduce the amount of code written by hand by the developer.

Rubem Alves once said that the birth of thought is like the birth of a child: it all begins with an act of love. It is with this in mind that we present this book, the fruit of many hands, many sleepless nights and a lot of planning. This book was conceived on the occasion of the first year of operation of ProGest - the Pregnancy Care Extension Programme, no longer as an extension project, but as an Extension Programme! In the next few lines, dear reader, you will be invited to explore the origins of Extension in Brazil, through its consolidation at our Federal University of Cariri (UFCA), located in the interior of the state of Ceará, Brazil, and ending with the creation of the Programme! We have prepared, in accessible and cohesive language, a compilation of our activities based on the most refined state of the art in Gynaecology and Obstetrics, hoping to be useful to those who leaf through these pages.In any case, enjoy your reading and may it be as pleasurable as it was to make. ProGest 2016 Team.

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic pathology on the rise. Because of the physical and psychological symptoms suffered by its sufferers, it represents a major health problem, since it has repercussions on both their social and professional quality of life, with a direct impact on the business economy and health. Objective: To study the problems posed by FM in the day-to-day lives of workers, in order to identify the factors that facilitate and those that hinder their ability to maintain their professional activities, and thus their personal development and/or socio-professional reintegration. Methodology: We conducted a qualitative study using semi-structured interviews with a sample of eleven women diagnosed with FM and working in different companies. Results: Symptom management and recognition of one's limitations are mentioned by our participants as levers for maintaining professional activity. On the other hand, the pathology itself hinders the continuation of work. In addition, work demands and social support influence job retention in our population.

The need to guide the family of a girl with Down syndrome, 9 years old, to achieve the development of her basic motor skills is the problem that gave rise to the present research, carried out with the methodology of the case study of this family. The general objective is to propose a system of family-oriented workshops for the development of basic motor skills in a girl with Down syndrome. The criterion of the integral approach of the methods and techniques of scientific research was assumed, using methods from the theoretical level such as: the historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, structural systemic and modeling, from the empirical level: case study, document analysis, observation, interview, survey and socialization workshops with specialists. A system of workshops is proposed with a structure of three subsystems that include workshops, in correspondence with the processes of diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation, with two structural moments: the moment of cognitive debate and the moment of practical demonstrative activity and socialization.

Coaching in the field of school coexistence seeks to develop the potential of students and teachers to improve their performance and treatment. It focuses on increasing self-awareness, discovering the current situation and exploring possibilities for improvement. Through a process of action-reflection-action-reflection, coaching seeks to strengthen listening and communication skills, and facilitate change to reach the maximum potential for improvement. It uses questioning as the basis of its work and promotes a culture of positive coexistence in the educational community. The participation of all members of the community in activities to improve coexistence is fundamental, promoting student collaboration and the transmission of skills that foster positive coexistence in the school.

The proliferation of regional agreements on the African continent has so far proved unsatisfactory. The process of economic integration, seen as an imperative for development, is struggling to take root on the continent, due to a number of anomalies. Overlapping regional economic communities do not benefit the continent. Central Africa, which is home to two regional economic communities, ECCAS and CEMAC, is no exception, as the cohabitation of these two regional communities is not conducive to the development of the regional integration process. If they are to reap the full benefits of regional economic integration, Central African countries would do well to see the rationalization of regional economic communities as a way out of this sluggish state of the integration process. This rationalization will be achieved through mergers and absorptions, on the one hand, and task-sharing, on the other, in order to bring the Central African zone out of this state of somnolence with regard to intra-community trade and the free movement of people.

Peptidases are enzymes capable of cleaving peptide bonds from other proteins. These enzymes have a wide range of applications, from the food industry to leather and skin processing and drug formulations. Peptidases have also been used in the dairy industry to produce cheese. The coagulation of milk caseins is the main step in the production of rennet-type cheeses. Due to restrictions on the consumption of foods that use animal rennet for reasons of dietary habits (vegetarianism) or for religious reasons (Judaism and Islam), the search for alternative coagulating enzymes to chymosin has intensified, so important research has been carried out in order to find an option among plant peptidases for the development of cheeses with sensory characteristics that are pleasing to the general dairy consumer public.

The participatory approach requires active listening to local people and the patience to progress at a reasonable pace to encourage local players to learn. The right balance must be struck between the race to achieve objectives through commitments to donors (or development partners) and the long-term objective of improving the capacity of the local players for whom the actions are developed, which will make it easier to sustain the gains made. It is a means of building the capacity of local players so that they can constantly play their part in the local development process. The better local players understand their roles, responsibilities and the challenges of developing their community, the more they will become involved.

The idea behind the book is to analyze the potential of in-service training, carried out through the special action project, in line with the school's political pedagogical project, in the collective hours provided for in the special full day of training. We present categories of analysis based on Freire's concept of permanent education. The constitution of the group as well as the construction of knowledge, adult teacher learning and the construction of autonomy towards authorship are all present in this work.

Dengue is one of the most important arboviruses transmitted to humans through the bite of infected mosquitoes. The spread of the dengue virus is influenced by the socio-environmental conditions of a given place, which facilitate the dispersal of its main vector, Aedes Aegypti. In this context, the author seeks to analyze the spread of dengue cases through the use of statistics, geoprocessing and on-site analysis of the areas with the highest records of this disease, in order to mitigate the occurrence of dengue and provide a better quality of life for the population of João Pessoa, Cabedelo and Bayeux. It is important to note that the book is of great importance for public health management, as it uses as a methodological tool the combination of numerical results and cartographic representations that can be used to analyze various types of illness - in addition to dengue - as long as they are georeferenced in geographic space. This book is therefore aimed at professionals and students of Geography, Public Health and related areas who are interested in mitigating pathogens such as dengue.

Objective: To report our experience of the surgical management of thoracic endometriosis. Materials and methods This was a retrospective and prospective study which lasted 18 years (January 1994-December 2012) and included 19 patients with an average age of 32 years (19 to 49 years) operated on for thoracic endometriosis. There were 12 cases of catamenial pneumothorax, 6 cases of catamenial haemothorax and 1 case of pulmonary nodule. The patients were all nulliparous with a history of dysmenorrhoea except the one with the pulmonary nodule, 2 patients had confirmed pelvic endometriosis. Standard chest X-rays were performed systematically, bronchial fibroscopy 2 times, thoracic CT scans 6 times, and thoracoabdominal ultrasound 1 time. The lesions were located on the right in 17 cases, on the left in 1 case and bilaterally in 1 case. Results. The patients were operated on during (7 cases) or just after (11 cases) menstruation by posterolateral thoracotomy. 4 patients underwent preoperative pleural drainage for massive effusions. Plaques of diaphragmatic endometriosis were observed in 16 cases.

On a very broad level, this work sought to articulate a connection between the theme of the human and cultural reality of the sertão with the long literary period in which Guimarães Rosa wrote the short stories of Sagarana, at a time when the modernization of Brazil, a country in many ways still archaic, was being sought. The aesthetic novelties developed by the writer in the backlands led literary regionalism to be recognized by the academy after its publication in 1946. What's more, due to Rosa's autonomous approach, regionalism has a place in the literary consciousness of the intellectual milieu, focused on the man and the cultural values of the population of the region addressed. The concept of regional literature is recognized and valued as an integral and representative index of Brazilian literature. With nature as his witness, Guimarães Rosa creates in Calango Frito an image long sought after in Brazilian literature, a synthesis of historical, aesthetic and social reality - an image of Brazilianness.

With the interconnection between the disciplines of Anthropology, Economics and Sociology, we addressed the contribution that the social and economic sciences can make to the valorization of the industry, in order to create jobs and thus contribute to the eradication of poverty. We concluded that all the efforts made to rehabilitate the sugar industry have led to the flourishing of the Marromeu district. On the other hand, it is essential to highlight the development strategies adopted in the country, by characterizing the Mozambican economic system itself, economic evolution, as well as the investment framework and the development of the private sector. The work addresses issues related to the concept of development in its various stages, where we sought to establish its historical evolution and the case study, on "The importance of the Marromeu sugar factory complex - Sofala province in Mozambique - in socio-economic development for the community", where the various trajectories of the sugar factory and the current situation of the district in social terms are presented.

Social and democratic participation in contexts of powerful and sometimes violent domination is the main issue addressed in this book. It arose from academic research that for two years followed the functioning of the Rural Territories located in the state of Alagoas, in northeastern Brazil, established in 2003. In this sense, we sought to investigate how public deliberation was crossed by local political relations and vice versa, promoting a reflection on the clashes between the proposal for participation and the reality marked by social hierarchies. The data produced was analyzed in the light of Boltanski's pragmatic sociology and his concept of justification, as well as the concept of patronage, in order to identify a tradition of "demanding silence and resignation" around politics. At the same time, this structure is mediated and re-signified by the individuals involved in the debate, who seek, in the fissures of the structure, to build a space for vocalizations, establishing strategies for overcoming inequalities. We hope that this book will contribute to the debate on contemporary political participation.
