Understanding the value of an entrepreneur and their importance in society is one of the main factors we explain in this work. We have created a business plan to demonstrate its viability, but as well as demonstrating it, we are also presenting the business step by step, methods of organisation, planning and control so that the best actions are always taken with as few mistakes as possible. The business plan consists of setting up a company that will commercialise products produced using 3D printing, a kind of 3D printing company, where prototypes and parts will be developed for other companies, thus saving time and money, with the aim of providing customers with ease and savings in their business. It's a market that has yet to be explored, but it's already being used in research at universities. The commercialisation of 3D printing is an innovative venture and fits in perfectly with contemporary market needs, so the studies carried out show that it is a viable business.

Lipid profile reference values differ in different groups of people according to age, race, gender, dietary habits, among others. This book discusses the determination of lipid profile reference values in schoolchildren living in the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico through a cross-sectional descriptive design. 289 schoolchildren from the metropolitan area of Guadalajara were evaluated and their lipid profile was determined by spectrophotometry. A clinical history, anthropometric measurements and determination of serum values of total cholesterol, triglycerides, C-HDL of peripheral venous blood were performed.

Free markets in Brazil are a traditional place where people meet, exchange knowledge, have fun and sell a wide variety of food products on a large scale. However, these products have qualities that are questioned by consumers, since the hygiene and sanitary conditions of the places of sale and the measures used by market traders are often precarious and outdated, a fact that threatens consumer food safety. In addition, there is a lack of instructions and supervision from the competent bodies to help these workers handle their products properly. In view of this reality, this work highlights a survey carried out at the open market in the municipality of Pereiro-Ce, focusing on the whole issue surrounding the hygiene and health conditions of leafy vegetables sold at the open market in that town.

This book deals with the problem of homicide in Angola and some of its psychological, legal-penal, criminological, victimological and sociodemographic characteristics. The aim of this research was to explore the variables described above by means of prisoner testimonies. Another purpose, achieved with study 2, was to ascertain the presence or absence of levels of aggression in these fellow citizens. In order to achieve our objectives, we used an ex post facto cross-sectional study of an applied and explanatory nature.

Chromoblastomycosis is a slow-progressing, granulomatous, suppurative fungal infection caused by the traumatic inoculation of melanised fungi into subcutaneous and transcutaneous tissues, leading to morbidity and work inactivity. The most clinically isolated agents are the species F. pedrosoi, C. carrioni, followed by P. verrucosa, E. dermatitidis and R. aquaspersa. It has a worldwide distribution and prevalence in underdeveloped regions of the world, where compulsory reporting of cases is non-existent. In Brazil, it is prevalent in the Amazon region, where Pará leads the country in cases of the disease. In the clinical analyses laboratory of the clinical mycology reference hospital Hospital Universitário Lauro Wanderley (HULW/EBSERH), Paraíba, Brazil, various diagnoses of the disease are found, and there has been one scientifically described case report to date. The aim of this study was to review the literature on the subject with an emphasis on updating data on the clinical, taxonomic, laboratory, epidemiological and therapeutic aspects of cases of chromoblastomycosis in Brazil and worldwide.

It will be time that will grant or cast back the testimonies that for more than three generations have allowed the natives of Chimalhuacán Atenco to sustain themselves as a depository group of legends and traditions of their region; legends and traditions, based on which they support their permanence as custodians of the history that only when narrated by them acquires veracity. A documentary investigation allowed us to establish that it was approximately during the last decade of the XIX century and the dawn of the XX century when the group of neighbors of Chimalhuacán Atenco named themselves or called themselves natives of the region, presuming that the ancestral origin of their surname allowed them to trace their lineage back to the XVI century, so that the right to call themselves natives was granted to them by generational means.

This book is a compilation of scientific articles already published on the subject, as well as materials produced by undergraduate nursing students during their internship activities in Primary Health Care services in the city of São Paulo. The purpose of this collection is to present the issue of domestic gender-based violence as a problem for the health sector and the responsibility of health professionals within the scope of Primary Health Care.

The aim of the book is to verify the constitutionality of the application of the Incident for the Resolution of Repetitive Demands (IRDR) within the scope of the special civil courts, as well as to identify the practical problems of applying the institute in the courts. These questions are extremely important, given that the introduction of this institute into Brazilian procedural law comes with the promise of speed and justice for mass claims. On the other hand, the proposal comes up against some resistance, since its standardisation, when confronted with the constitutional text and the current structure of Brazilian justice, exposes a series of problems - both practical and doctrinal - that simply cannot be ignored by the operator or legal scholar.

Although little developed in educational institutions, the PCNEM is a reference on the aims of education. Referring to secondary education as the final stage of basic education, the LDB states that this level of education should be geared towards preparation for work and training for citizenship. Thus, the pedagogical practices developed should prioritise both basic preparation for work and training for citizenship. However, this form of teaching is still not common in Brazilian schools. In this sense, this work deepens the debate on education for citizenship, especially in the teaching of chemistry. The study was based on observation of teaching practice and student participation in classes, as well as questionnaires for both. In this way, the students' perception of the teachers' pedagogical practice was analysed, as well as how this is carried out during lessons at two public institutions in the Picos region, and the possible relationship between science and citizenship education. It can be seen that schools play a fundamental role in this process; however, some factors that contribute to this process not being realised are still identified.

The tick(Rhipicephalus(Boophilus) microplus, is considered a very serious problem in livestock farming in Mexico, since it causes serious health problems in cattle and other domestic species that produce food. On the other hand, it also causes economic losses in production. Due to its poor sanitary management, it creates resistance to acaricides, which is why it is of utmost importance to carry out an adequate management. On the other hand, with respect to aquaculture management in this case, freshwater fish such as tilapia, is a species that is very popular in production, since it is very efficient in the conversion of the food it consumes, more than other species; in addition, its meat is rich in omegas-3. This documents that tilapia are very efficient organisms in their conversion. To mention other management aspects, the results of an estrus synchronization protocol in Bos indicus cattle are presented. The purpose of this protocol is to obtain better results in cattle reproduction, together with the quality of the forage consumed in grazing systems in the humid tropics of Mexico.

This text narrates the history of how relational art was born in Latin America and specifically marks its development in Ecuador, considering several theoretical proposals of the great critics. It makes a kind of counterposition to the great narratives and leaves a set of relationships between their positions to answer the question posed above: the historically relational art.

The reader of the 21st century must be an integral reader, a complete reader. He must be a classic reader, a digital reader, a reader of images (knowing how to read an album book, a picture book, an animated book, a comic book, a painting, a photograph, a short film, a movie, an advertisement and a storytelling), a reader of the world (reading the media: press, radio, television and Internet), as it happens in the current issue of emigration, reading the other human being (reading people, so that there is a real dialogue) and reading himself (to know who he is and to know his identity). To read in the 21st century is to relate, the more connections one can establish, the better reader one is. It is also necessary to know how to read Nature, Life, Read the City. "READ TO LIVE" (Flaubert). That is the proposal made in this book. It is also a game, that the reader plays with the author, that the READER BE A CREATOR.

Agricultural production in arid and semi-arid regions is limited due to the scarcity of water, and new alternatives have emerged to ensure the sustainability of production. This work therefore aims to monitor the viability, for the semi-arid region, of agricultural production units using grey water from a community laundry in the Ribeira district of Cabaceiras, PB. The research was carried out on the premises of the Public Laundry of the Ribeira District, in the municipality of Cabaceiras, PB. It was found that at 23 days after planting (DAP), 80% of the electrical conductivity (EC) readings were between 1.36 dS.m-1 and 2.05 dS.m-1, while at 43 DAP it was 1.17 dS.m-1 in all the units, due to the dilution of salts by rainwater during this period. The pH of the water sample from the well that supplies the public laundry was 8.2, compared to the values of the raw grey water and of the 4 readings, the lowest pH value found was 6.06 for the raw grey water (before it entered the units or tanks), characterising the pH as acidic and in the readings observed at 83 DAP it was found that the pH varied from 7.05 to 7.36.

This work was developed with the aim of analysing how music influences individuals. And how today music has been used to propagate sexist concepts that trivialise and vulgarise the role of women and proclaim prejudiced and disrespectful ideas, diminishing the role of women and their social importance. This encourages violence and the idealisation of a distorted image of gender. A bibliographical review of the subject was carried out and young people of both sexes aged between eighteen and twenty-five were interviewed. A number of excerpts were chosen from today's popular music, and a study was carried out on the messages presented in the songs and how these messages resonate in society. The research used an analytical-behavioural and psychoanalytical framework, on the basis that these are the most commonly recognised and used approaches in the field of psychology. Through these frameworks, a correlation was established between the two approaches through music, which proved to be widely present and relevant in these theories.

The electrocardiogram (ECG) is an integral part of the cardiology patient's physical examination. Nurses must be skilled in performing and interpreting the most severe and frequent tracings. Our study is a prospective multicentric descriptive survey carried out in 3 cardiology departments in Greater Tunis, including 40 nurses, with the aim of assessing their knowledge of the rules for performing ECGs and interpreting the most frequent and severe tracings. In practical terms, the results showed incompetence in performing ECGs, particularly with regard to calibration. No ECG abnormality was perfectly detected by the nurses: 97.5%, 75%, 60% between incomplete and incorrect answers for bradycardia, atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation respectively.We tried to propose solutions to improve the nurses' cognitive level by drawing up a memorization sheet. Nurses must periodically self-train, and continuous professional development is necessary to optimize their knowledge.

This research stems from our current thesis work, entitled: "Proximity of dwellings in areas unfit for habitation and exposure to health risks through occupation of low-lying areas and mountain slopes in Yaoundé". Using a psychometric approach to natural hazards, this research aims to show that social (contextual) and psychological factors (linked to the quality of risk perception) contribute to people's exposure to health risks in the lowlands and on the mountain slopes of Yaoundé. The vulnerability of populations living in precarious settlements (in the lowlands and on mountain slopes) to certain diseases and natural disasters can be observed through environmental degradation, the under-equipment of these settlements and the weakness of the means of protection against natural hazards in place. The socio-economic and socio-demographic context, the preference given to individual housing in the African urban context, and inoperative urban policies all contribute to their exposure to health risks through occupation of the lowlands and mountain slopes.

"Taxes are very old human inventions whose purpose is to support government structures and guarantee the provision of public goods" (DAMICO 2008 p.3). Based on this assumption, the general aim of this research is to assess export incentives by analysing the tax instruments used by the states of Espírito Santo and Santa Catarina for commercial exporters and trading companies. Have the import subsidies provided by the states of Espírito Santo - the port of Vitória - and Santa Catarina - the port of Itajaí - to commercial exporters and trading companies contributed to boosting exports? To answer this question, the impact of subsidies on exports in 2011 by commercial exporting and trading companies based in these two states was analysed. The research is exploratory and documentary in nature, ex post facto, and begins with a bibliographical analysis of the subject and then statistical data on exports from the federal units under observation. The database used in this research are sources available on the MDIC website.

This study evaluated the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic properties of hydroalcoholic extracts and fractions of Ixora coccinea L. The hydroalcoholic extracts were obtained by maceration of Ixora coccinea flowers, and the fractions by liquid/liquid partition. Chemical characterization was performed by high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS). Assays were carried out to evaluate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic activity. The Effective Concentration - EC 50 was quantified to classify the potential of the chemical and biological activities evaluated. By HPLC/MS, catechol was quantified as the major component of the hydroalcoholic extract (59.50%). In the antioxidant assay, all the EC50 ranged between 6.45 and 87.15 ppm, classifying all the observed concentrations as very active. For the anti-inflammatory assay, the EC50 ranged from 32.27 to 198.06 ppm. For the anti-arthritic assay, the EC50 ranged from 10.76 to 66.02 ppm.

This work seeks to describe the importance exercised by the playful to assist the teaching to the student and facilitate the resolution of problems in the teaching of mathematics.Seeking to favor the teaching of mathematics so that it is more dynamic and motivating, in the same way that we have the interaction promoted by the games, counting on interaction with the environment and its objects and the relationship established with the students. With the games being used as pedagogical resources we will have a structuring of reasoning, important to solve mathematical problems, consolidating the teaching favored by the playful and facilitating the interaction between the teacher and the students.In this way, the teacher can plan their classes with motivating and enjoyable features, favoring productive teaching, in addition to involving students in the teaching environment, this being an active participatory subject in educational dynamism, facilitating the process of acquisition and production of knowledge.

The evaluation of the IFNMG Campus Almenara portal was based on the recommendations of the federal government's Usability Primer. This study identified the main difficulties encountered by the institution's students with regard to the use and functionalities of the portal. Based on the guidelines discussed in the aforementioned booklet, it was possible, through an exploratory study of the site, to identify problems and possible difficulties encountered by students when accessing the portal. In order to ascertain these difficulties, a questionnaire was administered to clarify the students' perception of their familiarity with and access to technology. The evaluation of the portal against the information obtained was able to identify the difficulties experienced by IFNMG students in relation to the use and organisation of the site in terms of the concept of usability discussed in the booklet.

NAFLD is a major cause of liver disease worldwide, currently becoming the 1st cause of chronic liver disease and the 3rd cause of liver transplantation in the USA.The management of this pathology, supported by pathophysiological data, relies largely on the identification of lifestyle habits and inadequate diet in order to propose the necessary corrections. Thus, the aim of our study was to describe dietary and lifestyle habits in patients with NAFLD.

"Every text is constructed as a mosaic of quotations, every text is the absorption and transformation of another text" (KRISTEVA, 1974a, p.64 apud SILVA, 2003, p.214). "[...] there is no discourse that does not relate to others. In other words, meanings are the result of relationships: a discourse points to others that support it, as well as to future sayings. [...] A saying is related to other realised, imagined or possible sayings." (ORLANDI, 2010, p. 39).

The subject of this research is the CEJA and the commitment of professionals to ensure that students remain in the institution. It was carried out through bibliographical studies on the subject of the EJA, documents and legislation such as: the Federal Constitution of 1988 which establishes the right to education for young people and adults where in its article 208 it states that it is the duty of the state to guarantee education at the compulsory and free fundamental levels including for those who did not have access to it at the proper age i.e. comtemplating the subjects of the EJA who once did not have this possibility, and which also gained a special article in the Law of Guidelines and bases of National Education (Law nº 9394/1996) where it says in art. 47 that youth and adult education is aimed at those who have not had access to or continued their studies in primary and secondary education at the appropriate age. The research is characterised as descriptive and qualitative, using questionnaires that were distributed to EJA teachers in order to find out about the practices developed and the efforts made to ensure that these students remain in the school environment.

The main objective of this dissertation is to analyze the effect of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on job creation for women in the ECOWAS region. More specifically, we first studied the effect of cell phone subscriptions on women's employment in ECOWAS, and then measured the effect of Internet use on women's employment in the zone. To do this, we used a panel model with a system GMM estimation method for a sample of 15 ECOWAS countries over the period from 2008 to 2018. The empirical results show that cell phone subscriptions and internet use favor women's employment in ECOWAS. This implies that the rise of mobile telephony over the past decade has favored female job creation in the zone. We then delineated a frontier in terms of the number of cell phone subscriptions, and found that the effect of cell phone subscription is not significant above the frontier (6022421.627), but is significant below it.

A good physical education professional must not only know the basic content taught in their degree course, but also be able to critically analyse it, thus recognising its application to their field. In general, biostatistics is little associated with physical education, not only by society, but also by the students themselves, leading us to the following question: is biostatistics really important and is it used in the areas of physical education? In view of this problematisation, this study aims to verify whether biostatistics is used in relevant articles in the field of physical education, thus seeking to understand the importance or otherwise of learning biostatistics at undergraduate level for physical education students. In order to meet this objective, we asked the professors of the physical education department at the Federal University of the Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM) for 10 relevant articles in their field that were not bibliographical reviews, and carried out a documentary analysis in order to gather information on the use or non-use of biostatistics in these documents.

This book presents an e-commerce technology proposal to bring barbecue supplies retailers and consumers closer together in the municipality of Almenara-MG. Surveys were carried out among the population to understand their shopping needs and their acceptance of a technological tool that would provide this dynamism, as well as in the city's butcher shops, with the aim of understanding the trade and documenting demands. From this, a project development plan was drawn up, including strategies, system functionalities, technologies and development methods to achieve this result. Using the AndroidStudio, NetBeans and MySQL tools, a server was built containing the system's business rules, a database that met the demands found and an application for Android smartphones whose main purpose is to provide a search and comparison of prices in butcher's shops. After testing and implementation, the app is expected to increase competitiveness between establishments and provide consumers with a quicker and more convenient way of negotiating.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor. Chemoembolization, although a palliative treatment for HCC, has a place in many indications and could be proposed as a treatment preceding liver transplantation. The aim of this study was to detail the technical characteristics of chemoembolization and its complications, and to evaluate efficacy criteria and post-treatment follow-up modalities.

In this paper I want to unravel the real concept of meaning for both Coseriu and Ortega y Gasset. I want to know the concept of meaning created by the speaker in the linguistic act in statu nascendi. Coseriu studies language and therefore meaning in three moments: when the individual speaker creates the language and therefore the meaning, the sense; when the individual speaker uses his previous knowledge to create the sense in the linguistic act, the virtual and potential meaning; and the already realized meaning that belongs to the abstract language, the historical meaning or the meaning of a particular language. Ortega y Gasset studies what he calls the saying within the linguistic act and the etymology within the abstract language. Both meaning and saying reveal the verbal behavior of the individual speaker in the idiomatic context (Coseriu) which includes the concept of the way of thinking and the implicit concept of the way of being of things (Ortega y Gasset).

Fashion was born during the Renaissance, when people began to wear clothes not only as a form of protection or political or religious symbolism, but also as a way of differentiating themselves from others. At that time, with the rise of the bourgeoisie, the latter sought to copy the costumes of the nobility in order to integrate into that social stratum, while the nobility sought ways to differentiate themselves from the lower class. At this point began the cycle of invention and copying that characterises fashion to this day. The need to identify with specific people led to the creation of styles, which aim both to express oneself and to fit into a group that one admires. The steampunk style derives from the science fiction subgenre of steampunk, which began in literature in 1987. The purpose of steampunk is to create stories set in the 19th century, focusing on the steam technology developed during the Industrial Revolution, generally in the Victorian era (1837-1901), when this technology reached its peak. The style has spread and today involves many different areas, especially in the arts and design.
