When it comes to Historical and Cultural Heritage, various segments of society create a different image. What is Historical and Cultural Heritage? What are the points of convergence between the academic conception of this object and the legislative definition? What is the educational potential of historical heritage? The unease that questions like these give rise to permeated the research that resulted in this work. A contextualised reading of research such as that carried out in this work addresses the issues surrounding the field of discourse from an academic perspective. On the other hand, it raises political-administrative responsibilities. Between possible answers and still unsolvable questions, the reflection, based on the concreteness of the examples given, is a port of passage while treading a path that is being built synchronously and observing the socio-cultural transformations of this millennium's threshold.

This book explores in detail the Pt(NH3)2(C6H11O6)2 complex, a novel derivative of cisplatin, focusing on its analysis by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS). Cisplatin, a well-established chemotherapeutic agent, targets the DNA of cancer cells to hinder their proliferation. The Pt(NH3)2(C6H11O6)2 complex is distinguished by the replacement of cisplatin's chlorine atoms with glucose molecules, a modification potentially decisive for its biological efficacy. This book aims to examine the structure and reactivity of CisDD/glucose, highlighting its anticancer potential and the implications of its unique structure.

Serological tests for HIV and HCV are based on the detection of antibodies present in the donor's blood. This is what is known as the immunological window, a period in which, even if infected, the individual's serology is negative. The aim was to carry out a comparative study with a critical analysis of the screening methodologies for HIV and HCV testing in donors at the Hematology and Hemotherapy Center of the State of Piauí - HEMOPI. The comparison between the methodologies showed that although the agreement between the HIV tests was 99.7% and that between the HCV tests was 99.8%, the two methodologies are complementary, since the Kappa coefficients were 0.25 (fair) and 0.50 (moderate) respectively. In this way, it can be inferred that, as there are still no serological tests on the world market with 100% sensitivity and specificity, an alternative proposed to guarantee transfusion safety is the association between complementary methodologies, as is currently suggested by the Ministry of Health, through Health Surveillance.Keywords: Hemotherapy, HIV, HCV, Serology, NAT test.

This book brings together general information on photovoltaic systems, the constitution and effect of photovoltaic cells and their operating principle, as well as the design and modeling of a photovoltaic system and the operating principle of each of the elements that make up the photovoltaic cell, the static converter and the MPPT controller, along with their characteristics.

Leadership Coaching: - A strategy for success?At a time when the quality of being, and of being together, is becoming a major growth and sustainability issue for all organizations and human communities. It provides all those who have to manage a support relationship (with individuals, teams or organizations) - coaches, managers, trainers, educators, executives - with original, relevant concepts and tools to help people transform and build themselves. Fully-assumed freedom and responsibility are the common thread running through this process of meaning-generating alliance.The contents of this book should be of interest to coaches in training or in practice. They will find in it as many points of support for "theorizing their practice" and "practicing their theory". Whether therapists, trainers, teachers, coaches, social workers or consultants, we hope that all those whose job it is to support others will also find food for thought in the contents of this book.

Dealing with unruly teenagers is a challenge for parents. A transitional stage in an individual's life, characterized by hormonal, emotional and cognitive changes. During this period, adolescents seek independence and autonomy, which manifests as rebelliousness, defiance of authority and disruptive behaviors. However, understanding and addressing these behaviors effectively can lay the foundation for a stronger relationship and a healthy transition into adulthood.Adolescent rebelliousness should be recognized as a search for identity and self-determination. Adolescents are trying to define themselves and establish their place in the world, resulting in a range of seemingly challenging behaviors. Instead of reacting with frustration or anger, it is critical to practice empathy and see things from their perspective.One strategy for dealing with rebellious teens is to encourage open and respectful communication. Establish an environment in which teens feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and feelings without fear of excessive judgment or punishment and facilitate mutual understanding. Active listening.

These days, debates about the role of schools and language teaching and learning are subjects that intrigue teachers, book designers and, in particular, parents. In language teaching in general, and French as a foreign language in particular, innovations and methodologies are constantly invading the teaching field. For the most part, they are the product of demands external to the language. This has been the case since the emergence of the audio-oral method (in the USA in the 1940s) up to the present day, with the skills-based approach. Thus, for more than half a century, innovation has been the priority in language teaching. It is important to recognise that considerable efforts have been made in pedagogical discourse and that the aim of these didactic and methodological trends is to improve the quality of teaching.

This book is aimed at all those interested in exploring new methods for diagnosing adrenal insufficiency, particularly in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Adrenal insufficiency is a complex medical condition that requires accurate diagnosis for effective treatment. Current diagnostic methods, while useful, have certain limitations. This book presents a promising new method for diagnosing adrenal insufficiency, involving the use of 61Cobalt-labeled eplerenone and MRI.In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, this method could prove particularly useful, as the virus can affect blood pressure regulation and potentially cause conditions such as hypertension or hypotension.We hope this book will be a valuable resource for those seeking to improve the diagnosis and treatment of adrenal insufficiency.

In the search for solutions against various pathologies, researchers use several approaches including the study of animal self-medication. In this book, we present the nutritional and therapeutic potential of plant species belonging to around thirty botanical families consumed by Mandrills in the Lékédi Park and the indigenous human populations of Bakoumba. Specifically, we present the phytochemical and pharmacodynamic properties, ethnobotanical and ecological uses of plants used by the two populations of primates (human and non-human) as well as their energy contributions.Given the diversity of molecules, it follows that zoopharmacognosy or the study of the self-medication behavior of animals in general would be a new source of discovery of biologically active molecules that could constitute a source of therapeutic and nutritional knowledge for alternative medicine. efficient.This futuristic approach to research applicable in Dietetics and Medicine also makes it possible to enrich the ethological knowledge of animals and increase animal well-being.

The management of distal tibial fractures is a challenge for surgeons. We report the results of our experience with minimally invasive osteosynthesis of these fractures using the latest generation of Synthes® locking screw plates. This was a prospective study of 13 patients. All were closed fractures associated with a distal fibular fracture. Osteosynthesis was performed on a reduced fracture using traction on an orthopaedic table or an external fixator. All fibular fractures were osteosynthesised. Primary osteosynthesis of these fibular fractures was performed in 61.53% of cases. Osteosynthesis is feasible if reduction criteria are met before synthesis. No complications were observed apart from 2 malunion fractures, with no functional consequences, which occurred at the beginning of our experience. Patients were satisfied in 84.61% of cases and returned to work. Minimally invasive osteosynthesis using a plate with locked screws ensures sufficient and rapid autonomy with fewer complications.

This work looks at the Institutional Foster Care Services for Children and Adolescents (SAICAs), especially at those who remain outside the home: the family members. Thus, anchored in Institutional Discourse Analysis, the work focuses above all on the relationship between the family and SAICA. Starting from the legal text and the historical production trajectory of these practices, it seeks to think about the expectations and institutional places that constitute them. In relation to the discourse of family members, it points out the encounters and disagreements that mark this relationship. These appear between the different institutional actors, marking places and displacing established positions, and the question is at stake: who is legitimately responsible for these children and adolescents? In the midst of this tension, it is possible to delineate a certain family designed at the interface with foster care, as well as a certain SAICA recognized in the discourse. This path invites us to (re)think the practices of institutional foster care and what places we attribute to the family and the service. And in this way, perhaps we can foster more powerful encounters between children, adolescents, family members and professionals in shelters and other settings.

Obtaining acceleration data for the Northeast of Brazil was not possible until recently. With the installation of RSISNE (Petrobras/UFRN/FUNPEC), this panorama has changed. It is now possible to acquire accelerometry data for the entire region. This work made use of these types of seismological records in order to obtain an equation that models how acceleration decays with distance, both in the vertical and horizontal components for the southern part of the Borborema Province. Secondly, it is also part of the objectives to establish relationships between acceleration and magnitude for the region. It was possible to establish an attenuation equation for the state of Pernambuco. While, for the state of Alagoas, it was possible to obtain a relationship between magnitude and acceleration for two new epicentral areas in the region.

The awakening of civil society and the active participation of citizens in the process of social development are remarkable phenomena in our current history, which has helped to solidify democratic practices and processes, where citizens start to act, monitor and take initiatives through channels that are open to them in the public sphere. It is essential for public administration to be able to effectively guarantee popular participation and social control in public activities in Brazil. Through participation in public management, citizens can intervene in administrative decision-making, guiding the Administration to adopt measures that really serve the public interest and, at the same time, exercise control over the actions of the State, demanding that public managers account for their actions. In this context, the Ombudsman's Office represents a channel for serving citizens, a kind of invitation for society to participate in the administrative life of public entities, offering criticism or praise, through which the Public Administration can build a feedback system to improve the course of its actions.

From a rights-based approach, understanding that the State is the main guarantor for the realisation of the human right to food by providing food security, the Plurinational State would be strengthening the vision of food sovereignty, understanding that, as part of the consolidation of its struggle against neoliberalism, the primordial networks of the traditional peasant economy should be prioritised. Through their recognition and the implementation of public policies, a new community paradigm could be consolidated, translated into a model built on the vindication of the practices of the indigenous and peasant peoples it represents. Along these lines, the aim of this paper is to show how, from the philosophical vision of sumaj qamaña, the Bolivian state implements public policies that ensure food security with sovereignty by promoting traditional forms of food production or by incorporating policies and plans to improve the means of production, with the aim of promoting peasant family farming.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of low-power laser therapy (LLLT) on nociceptive behavior and neuronal activity of the trigeminal nucleus after unilateral disc injury of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in rats. Forty rats were used. Surgical access was made to the TMJ under general anesthesia. The animals were divided into 4 groups (n=10): Group 1: Surgical lesion of the articular disc and LLLT; Group 2: Sham - operated and LLLT; Group 3: Surgical lesion of the articular disc; Group 4, Naive: control without articular lesion or LLLT. Ten sessions of LLLT were carried out using a GaAs laser with a wavelength of 904 nm and an energy density of 6J/cm2. The development of neuropathic symptoms was assessed using the Von Frey test. Trigeminal ganglion samples were prepared for determination of protein expression of substance P (SP), transient receptor potential vanilloid subtype-1 (TRPV-1) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Statistical analysis was performed (p

The new configuration of the role of hospitals, from the perspective of building health care networks, has implications for the work of nurses in managerial positions in terms of their administrative, care and teaching actions/decisions. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to identify the aspects that facilitate and hinder the work of nurses in managerial positions in a public emergency hospital in the interior of São Paulo. To this end, a descriptive study was carried out with a quantitative approach to qualitative data, using the Critical Incident Technique to survey perceptions and attitudes towards the object of investigation. The study was carried out in a public, tertiary-level teaching hospital in the northeast of the state of São Paulo.

The study of the relationships that individuals maintain with each other has always been at the centre of the concerns of the most diverse areas of knowledge. Due to the plurality and multiplicity of approaches adopted as legitimate references for the production of knowledge about group processes, this study is a theoretical review centred on a specific model called: Operative Groups. Every operative group presupposes learning and learning, from the perspective of operative groups, is synonymous with change. In this way, it can be concluded that the study of a model for working in groups centred on principles of change is particularly appropriate in the face of the challenges and demands of the many different groups to which we belong today.

The aim of this work is to identify and discuss the particularities and difficulties of the process of creating and managing Environmental Protection Areas, a category of Conservation Unit established by Law 9.985/00 (SNUC). To this end, it sought to discuss the process of making the Maracanã APA effective, and the possible consequences caused in the unit, contributing to the greater viability of the APA as an instrument of Environmental Policy.

This book brings together scientific articles and essays, both published and unpublished, by different authors with different backgrounds and perspectives, all of whom are trying to understand education in some way. The aim of the book is to create a dialogue through the collection of works with current and relevant themes in the scientific scenario, so that the reader can come into contact with convergent and divergent conceptions and theories.

Going before a civil court to have a contract for the sale of real estate belonging to another person annulled on the basis of article 276 CCC L III, is a path that is not recommended by case law (courts and tribunals) and doctrine (lawyers, researchers).Indeed, the aforementioned provision only concerns movable property, but to have such a contract annulled, what is the path that case law and doctrine advise?Moreover, a victim would no longer be able to go before a civil judge to cancel a certificate of registration that has been in force for two years. In other words, the certificate of registration has become unassailable, but the question remains: how do you cancel a certificate of registration that is more than two years old and tainted by irregularity?the nine chapters that make up this manual revolve around these two questions.above all, this work enriches Congolese legal doctrine with a high-quality scientific work from a school of excellence in Congolese civil law. This précis de droit civil congolais des biens is an invaluable working tool that will enable professionals to better orient themselves.

The Gilbués Desertification Centre, located in the state of Piauí, covers at least fifteen municipalities, seven of which (Gilbués, Riacho Frio, São Gonçalo do Gurguéia, Monte Alegre do Piauí, Redenção do Gurguéia, Corrente and Barreiras do Piauí) are degraded by more than 45%. The aim of the study was to identify the economic dynamics and verify the economic and social indicators in the Gilbués-PI Desertification Centre. Information was obtained from the database of the National Semi-Arid Institute (INSA), the Ministry of Science and Technology (MCTI), the Brazilian Semi-Arid Information and Knowledge Management System (SIGSAB) and the database of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the IBGE Automatic Retrieval System (SIDRA), with a focus on rural dynamics.

This work is the result of an analysis of the textbooks used in our Portuguese and History primary and secondary school classrooms, with the aim of discovering the profile and place reserved for black people in their content. There is a great lack of information about Afro-descendant culture in Brazil and its contributions to shaping the identity of the Brazilian people. The injustice of not publicising the legacy brought by native Africans, who were forcibly inserted into a strange and distant land and had to adapt and establish their roots on Brazilian soil, is visible. The culture they brought was incorporated into customs, such as dance, cuisine, music, religion, the language itself and a host of other elements. All of this constitutes the cultural wealth that Afro-descendants brought with them and, in a way, imposed on our culture, contributing in a big way to the formation of our identity.

This work consisted of mapping the environmental fragility of the municipality of Ubatuba/SP by cross-referencing data on land use and occupation, pedology and slope, generated through the digital terrain elevation model. The entire process was carried out using digital GIS, where the data was correlated using GIS processing software, in order to improve the reliability of the data generated.

This text is the result of reflections provided by PIBIC (UFSC) in 2015 and 2016. It analyses Kant's concept of evil and how it has impacted other philosophies. Some commentators support the possibility of this concept being able to solve contemporary problems. For example, Hannah Arendt analyses the case of Eichmann in Jerusalem, influenced by Kant's concept of evil. In this book, we will also analyse Claudia Card's reflections on the concept of evil.

The product of a two-year research project stemming from a master's degree in Education (UERJ), this work takes cinema as an object of scientific research by looking for schools in western films. Anchored in a theoretical foundation that includes Gilles Deleuze, Walter Benjamim and Boaventura de Sousa Santos, the methodology of research into/with everyday life, the history of the United States and cinema, the book sets out to show the importance of cinema beyond entertainment.

This paper describes the trajectory, of life and thought, of Carl Gustav Jung. Antonella Valeria Cobianco establishes a comparison with the highlights of Jung's biography, which are then translated into figures of thought. Indeed, in Jung, life and work are not disjointed, but are in continuous relation: the analyst made his life a work and his work a life. The biographical and theoretical planes work together and hybridize continuously.

This work is situated in the area of Computer-Assisted Composition, CAC. More specifically, in the generation of pre-compositional material at a symbolic level. Our use and appropriation of this technological resource was, however, influenced by the philosophy of Vilém Flusser, especially his work Black Box Philosophy. The aims of this research were both to contribute (via Flusser) to the debate on the current compositional environment, and to use the computational resource that is notably characteristic of this environment to solve a problem of organizing pitches and ordering musical events. The treatment given to pitch space in post-tonal music favors, in its generality and abstraction, more analytical than practical approaches. In this way, we introduced the concept of the Table of Interval Differences, TDI, as a photograph of the interval relationships in a temporal sequence that incorporates both intervals between successive events and intervals between non-adjacent events, in a way taking up a proposal by Ernest Ansermet (1987).

The debates on the implementation of teacher career plans represent education workers' search for professional development in aspects such as entry procedures, working hours, planning hours, progression, promotion and working conditions. In Minas Gerais, the new guidelines for valuing teachers, with the creation of a career plan for education workers and an increase in remuneration based on funding (FUNDEF/FUNDEB), took place in the same context as the policy of fiscal adjustment and shrinking of the state advocated by the program called Management Shock. The competition between these two elements meant a dispute between projects on the issue of valorization, with the public administration on one side and the teaching professionals on the other. This work studies the impacts of this competition on education funding in Minas Gerais, in terms of the valorization of teachers in the state's public basic education network. With this analysis, we hope to contribute to the field of Educational Public Policy, as well as filling in some of the gaps in the public funding structure of the state's education network.

Head and neck cancer, as well as its treatment, cause major aesthetic and basic function changes for the patient, and can cause alterations in Quality of Life, Body Image and Self-Esteem. The general aim of this study was to assess Quality of Life, Body Image and Self-Esteem in patients with sequelae following treatment for head and neck cancer in the municipality of Natal-RN who were candidates for prosthetic rehabilitation. This was a cross-sectional study. Data was collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the University of Washington Assessment Questionnaire, the Body Investment Scale, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. The sample consisted of 10 patients (6 men and 4 women), aged between 35 and 82.
