Os Sintomas Osteomusculares relacionados ao trabalho em profissionais de Enfermagem tem sido objeto de diversas discussões. Este estudo objetivou identificar Sintomas Osteomusculares em trabalhadores de Enfermagem que atuam em uma Unidade de Terapia Intensiva de um Hospital Federal do Estado do Rio de Janeiro e discutir os aspectos ergonômicos com ênfase na saúde do trabalhador. Os dados foram obtidos através de um questionário estruturado com perguntas de dados sociodemográficos, laborais, presença de sintomas osteomusculares e do censo de ergonomia modificado aplicados aos profissionais de enfermagem que atuavam na Unidade de Terapia Intensiva do Hospital. A high prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms was identified among the workers, and the most commonly reported body regions were the lower back, neck and upper back. Most participants stated that they perceive a relationship between the symptoms reported and their current work. In this perspective, the importance of implementing health policies aimed at the nursing workers who work in Intensive Care Units is observed.

The present work analyses in detail Newton's concepts of "absolute" space, time and motion, as well as presenting a description of the method used in the elaboration of Newtonian Physics, more precisely, in the confection of the Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. It is also argued that these concepts of "absolute" space, time and motion would have as origin the controversy between Cartesians and Newtonians about the fundamentals of Natural Philosophy. Finally, it is shown that these concepts came to serve as a basis for the Newtonian definition of forces and laws of motion.

To date, the sphere of family relations is considered sufficiently developed and quite an extensive amount of information on this issue has been accumulated. This book in addition to revealing the theoretical basis is a study on 125 respondents to test the relationship preferred motives for marriage, as well as the criteria that people focus on when choosing a spouse to satisfaction in marriage, family cohesion and adaptation of the family in the future. The methods which were used in the research, including the author's method diagnosing the history of creation of a family, choice of the marital partner, as well as adaptation of I. S. Golod's questionnaire supplemented with N. A. Kamneva, V. I. Gassiev and A. S. Lisutina's classification of the preferred motives, are also described in detail. At the same time in creating a questionnaire many specific features were taken into account, taking into account our region: the specifics of family creation, namely marriage matchmaking, parents' participation in the organization of the wedding process, etc.

It was implanted three of the five senses, utilization, ordination and cleanness. After the implantation of the program it was obtained notorious and significant results in the environment, in relation to the organization, with a better use of the time, reduction of rework, and a considerable increase of productivity.

Traditionally, educational assessments are used to classify students as able or not, creating a cycle of aversion to assessment that leads to discrimination, denial and exclusion. The formative trajectory memorials are an important resource in the teaching-learning process because they reveal themselves as sources of knowledge and limitations, stories, representations and re-significations. This study was conducted with undergraduate students in Biological Sciences and is based on the methodological use of memorialistic accounts for the composition of assessment instruments in order to clarify the following question: are the formative trajectory memorials a tool for learning assessment? Creating a memorial is not an easy task, however, it can be revealing. To relive memories is to make conscious the choices and the paths followed, facilitating the self-discovery and the awareness about the personal and professional formation. The teacher who deeply knows his student can make use of this knowledge to prepare better assessments, being aware of the trajectory of each student can provide assessments their true formative, procedural and contextualized character.

This academic work takes a critical look at the theme of the environment in all its spheres. It understands the man inserted in the environment as an active participant of the various processes that act in his environment. This participation in his environment triggers a series of socio-environmental problems resulting from his economic activities. Large business ventures, due to the fact that they use large areas for their facilities or the massive use of natural resources, generate environmental, social and economic impacts in the region where they are installed. The Environmental Management System is responsible for managing these impacts, as well as minimizing them, not only by following laws and norms, but also by understanding the problems caused by their activities, assuming an attitude of socio-environmental responsibility towards all the social actors that somehow interact in their ways of working and economic gains. The Companhia Docas do Pará carries out port activities in the state of Pará and understands the great environmental and social sphere of which it is part in the socio-environmental context with a political and educational focus in the realization of socio-environmental projects.

Born from a melancholy and a despair, the ethical stage of Søren Kierkegaard is the highest degree of the existence. Intermediate of the aesthetic and religious stages, it represents the alternative to which the individual is exposed who becomes aware of himself. The reflection on the existence deepens and tends the man towards a knowledge of oneself in order to find a truth which is clean to him. Closely linked to the notion of subjectivity, the ethical sphere challenges the individual in his relationship with the world and pushes him to rethink his social relationships and his means of communication. In this book, Nadine Sarah digs into a reflection on this ethical stage by analyzing its different explanations, by proposing a visual representation of it, but also by putting it in relation with the life choices of this great Danish thinker. By keeping all interpretations in uncertainty, Nadine Sarah respects throughout this book, the distance with the subjectivity of each.

This book brings reflections on some works of artists who address the issue of women's bodies at different moments in the history of art, taking as a common thread contemporary art as an educational vehicle to combat the degradation of the image of women, the role of women's bodies in the history of art until today, the situation in which these bodies are involved, how they are shown and how they are camouflaged.

In this small but very significant book, you will find 101 problems of indefinite integrals solved step by step, explained by means of formulas and mathematical properties applicable to each type of exercise.The types of indefinite integrals described in this work are those corresponding to the topics of unit two of the Integral Calculus course of the engineering programs of the Technological Institutes belonging to the Tecnológico Nacional de México (TecNM). In addition, you will find simple integrals that will increase the degree of difficulty until reaching the integration methods.

This work aims to highlight the poetic writing of The History of China in the novels of Shan Sa, a French-speaking Chinese author who uses the French language as a vehicle for her roots. It is a question of identifying and proposing an interpretative reading of all the constant writing techniques based on the criterion of recurrence in the diegetic universe proposed by the novelist with the aim of bringing out the different manifestations of Chinese History that characterize her novel writing, which springs from a poetic that is undeniably relative to Chinese History.

The thoracic paravertebral block is a technique of locoregional anesthesia that is indicated for postoperative analgesia in breast and thoracic surgery. It is an effective and safe technique when performed by an experienced team and under ultrasound guidance.The aim of this book is to make known the importance of this technique, to encourage its learning and its mastery by health professionals.

Malaria is a parasitic disease caused by the development and multiplication in humans of hematozoa of the genus Plasmodium. It remains the main cause of blood transfusion and mortality in children under 5 years old in Africa.A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted among malaria patients under 5 years old admitted to the Pediatric Department of the General Referral Hospital of Bandundu city during the period from January to December 2018.The results approved the frequency of malaria anemia in malaria patients under 5 years old in the general hospital of reference of Bandundu was 65% and children whose age oscillated between 7 to 59 months were the most concerned.This survey allowed us to elucidate the epidemiological aspects of malaria anemia in malaria-affected children in Bandundu City, Kwilu Province and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This book aims to contribute to the understanding of the importance of human capital development, highlighting its advantages for obtaining significant results in reaching the goals established in its analytical planning, reducing staff turnover and obtaining profit. As an innovative potential, it is essential that companies incorporate it into their Strategic Management of Human Resources and administrative practices to act competitively in current and future scenarios. For the company to keep rising and develop a competitive base in the market, it needs to pay attention mainly to its internal resources, that is, human capital, to build an important survival strategy thus creating a tip for obtaining the success of the organization. It highlights the importance of people for the company and that their performance depends on them, which enables it to remain more balanced and structured in the market, ensuring that at the end of the process the desired success is obtained and new goals can be set, by the confidence and capacity that its human capital can exercise for their own benefit and on behalf of the organization.

The managerial practices in our Health Care Facilities call upon managers and lawyers to examine not only the actuality of legal texts but also the impact that health legislation could have on hospital management. The health legislation has necessarily an influence, whether positive or negative, on a health facility whether it is public or private and whatever its size and mission. A study conducted at the Yaoundé University Hospital allowed us to analyze the influence that health legislation can have on the management of a health facility in general and that of the University Hospital in particular. This was a qualitative study during which 12 people responded to our interview on the different themes of our work. The data were collected using a semi-directive interview guide and a non-participant observation grid. They showed the existence of texts, although they need to be updated, applied by managers lacking competence. The need to update the legal texts applicable in the health field and a profound reform of the hospital system emerged.

This study, whose subject is ''Teaching practices of sciences and technologies in elementary school: Case of electricity in CM2 class'' consists in improving the teaching practices in use in the teaching of electricity in CM2 class. To this end, it postulates that teaching practices in science and technology have a negative impact on the learning of electricity in CM2. To verify this assumption, an interview was conducted (using an interview guide) with 10 teachers randomly selected from the three pedagogical sectors of the Abengourou district. The results show that the years of professional experience of the teachers interviewed cannot be a factor in improving teaching practices during electricity class sessions. The teaching practices as well as the quality of learning in science and technology are functions of the availability or not of didactic materials. Thus, according to the results, in the absence of teaching materials, all teachers proceed in the same way. They resort to theory and not to practice.

Here, we present our numerical results of ZrxSi1-xO2 solid solutions (with x= 0-1) to predict new hypothetical tetragonal compounds of the Zircon family. We used the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method based on DFT density functional theory in the GGA approximation as implemented in the WIEN2k code to study the structural and optoelectronic properties of the named compounds. First, we studied the properties of the compound ZrSiO4, where the obtained results are compared to several theoretical and experimental investigations. Secondly, we have predicted new hypothetical compounds for the ZrSi3O8 and Zr3SiO8 family that crystallize in the I41/amd space group. In any case, the chemical stability of the studied alloys has been verified with both the enthalpy of formation and the cohesive energy. Moreover, the phonon dispersion results also indicated this aspect. The electronic properties reveal a strong p-d covalent hybridization between Zr and O. The Zr3SiO8 compound exhibits a wide indirect band gap.

Sexual violence against women is one of the macabre scourges in the areas affected by the repeated wars of liberation in Eastern DR Congo in general and in the Mwenga Territory in particular. According to estimates, 70% of the victims of sexual violence were women. Once raped, women find it difficult to stay in their homes because they are traumatised, affected by sexually transmitted diseases, abandoned or simply rejected by their husbands who fear being infected by diseases6 . In fact, these women find themselves isolated and no longer have access to their crop fields in order to meet some of their needs. The efforts made by structures such as ARSF would not only contribute to the involvement of everyone but also and above all to the reintegration of the victims into the community. After listening, counselling and medical care, it is necessary for them to find out how they can live or how they can be independent. So, at all costs, these victims need to be reintegrated economically.

The work addresses some elements of Portuguese immigration in Foz do Iguaçu in the period 1957 to 2016. It explores the memories and trajectories of experiences of two Portuguese immigrants in Foz do Iguaçu, in order to highlight how the memories touched upon in the interviews narrate the city and their group of belonging. As a result, the study (re)constructs some details of the trajectories, the daily life, the material life of the interviewees and the group of Portuguese immigrants in Foz do Iguaçu.

By constitutionalizing territorial decentralization, the Cameroonian constituent of January 18, 1996 profoundly transformed the Cameroonian administrative landscape, followed by the legislator of July 22, 2004. As a result of these different reforms, the local administrative landscape has been enriched by new bodies that are in fact actors of decentralization. Among these, we can cite the syndicate of municipalities. Although this last body has not been sufficiently studied, it should be noted that it is an actor that complements the action of the communes. The syndicate of communes is nothing more than a public inter-municipal establishment intended to ensure inter-municipal cooperation and solidarity. This is what makes it a major organ of Cameroonian decentralization.

Based on my master's thesis, this book discusses the relationship between different knowledges in the school curriculum, analyzing a municipal school in Rio de Janeiro, where Capoeira workshops were held as part of the Mais Educação Program. I sought to point out possible readings which take into account contemporary demands for identity and difference, as well as contributions from social discourse theorizing, from Cultural and Post-Colonial Studies, and from historiographical, anthropological and pedagogical studies on Capoeira. The text reveals that the hegemonic, modern/colonial discourse - which sets apart "black knowledge" and "black culture" in the curriculum - has not proved to be absolute or without tension. I highlight the protagonism and the anti-racist educational role played by teachers and masters of black cultural traditions. In the school analyzed, two black angoleiros capoeiristas, Mestre Cláudio and Treinel Ludmila, challenge the racism so present in Brazilian education and society and provide, to the different subjects in the school, opportunities to think the "black culture" and "knowledge" under new lenses.

This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and severity of African mosaic disease (AMD) on different cassava cultivars under the ecological conditions of Kindu in DR Congo.The trial was conducted in a randomized complete block design during the A season of the year 2020. It compared three exotic cassava cultivars with a reference cultivar (T0) on the basis of vegetative growth (height and diameter) and phytosanitary (incidence and severity of MAM) parameters on plants derived from cuttings harvested from apparently healthy stems. The results recorded during the study generally indicate that the incidence and severity of AMD varies with the type of cassava cultivar.

The issue of natural hazards in general and Floods in particular is a topic of current interest that marks a memorable action in the world and specifically in Tunisia, especially in view of the last major floods of the Medjerda. Indeed, the management of this risk becomes more and more a necessity that must include all actors and all possible means available. In this work, has been exposed the mapping of flood areas of the middle valley of the Medjerda by means of the combination of different complementary approaches of remote sensing coupled with GIS and hydraulic modeling (HEC RAS) and (HEC Geo RAS). The processing and interpretation of satellite images, has allowed to have a digital terrain model of high resolution, a mapping of land use at different dates and a hydromorphological map. Thus, simulations of three flood scenarios with three flows were made for different return periods. The combination of all these results allowed to elaborate the hazard map. This map seems to be one of the most effective means of efficient management.

This work is about youth, profession, and the labor market. The young person is surrounded by many desires for the development of his or her own existence. In this sense formal education, with all its infrastructure, has as its objective, to lead this youth to the development of a country with all the complex issues of society. In the formation of basic education, there are itineraries of professional training, which many young people can choose to receive a qualification, with the objective of insertion in the labor market in a more qualified way and with competence. These trainings come in the sense of accelerating technological knowledge, allied to the labor market's demand for prepared professionals.The young apprentice modality, is an important training by proposing technological training, and the space in the labor market for the development of technical training. These young people will be able to get a job opportunity with a training, performing a theoretical and practical training space.

This book presents an account of capital flight from sub-Saharan Africa including definition, methods of volume theft. It includes results and analysis of the volume and trend of illicit financial flows from Liberia over a 10-year period from 2004 to 2013. The objective is to determine the level of capital flight and recommend mitigation policies. The research for this book was carried out through a literature review on the subject and direct interviews and meetings with professionals in the fields of economics, banking, financial markets, etc. This book makes a contribution on illicit financial flows from sub-Saharan Africa to Liberia in particular, as existing research on long-term trends in the pattern of illicit flows from African countries is rather sparse and does not include Liberia. The article presents expenditures (2004-2013) from the Global Financial Integrity (GFI) 2015 Report Estimating Illicit Financial Flows from Liberia [1]. This was appropriate, due to the challenges in collecting data ourselves. From 2004 to 2013.

The endemicity, the exploitation of bibliographic data and our surveys of healers and traditional practitioners, led us to study Senecio faujasioïdes of the ASTERACEAE family, a plant known to be effective in treating wounds, sores, suppuration, endocarditis and syphilis. After purification and microbiological tests, it was observed that the bactericidal principles of the hot aqueous extract are mainly found in the fraction from the heat treatment noted N1, in the fraction from the dialysate noted N3 and in the fraction from the pellet of the precipitation with 50% ethanol noted N5. The bactericidal activity against pathogenic microorganisms is attributed to the fraction from the pellet of the 50% ethanol precipitation (N5) with a minimum inhibitory concentration of about 0.86 µg/µl and a BMC equal to 0.97 µg/µl for Bacillus subtilis. The other purified fractions are also bactericidal.

Gabon, a developing country in Central Africa, aspires to development. The implementation of its five progress plans have not been well received by the population on the economic, social, political and cultural levels, because everything is too politicized. In 2025, the sectors of education, health, politics, technology and culture will not meet the expectations of Gabonese people. Gabon would gain if it uses the means put in place for the execution of a project wisely. The one and only sector that will have an increased development is the military sector. Because the current authorities give it more importance. The development of Gabon by 2025 must imperatively involve investment in people.

The relevance of the problem is due to the need to expand the versatility of water-soluble cellulose ethers and the field of their applications.In terms of their importance and properties, water-soluble cellulose ethers are now an independent specific group of cellulose derivatives. It should be assumed that these cellulose derivatives will receive further distribution not only in their traditional applications, but certainly in other new areas, in particular, in medicine - one of the most interesting and perhaps noblest areas of their application.The book focuses on new cellulose ethers synthesized recently, along with the known water-soluble ethers, methods of their preparation, properties, applications, and physiologically active polymers derived from them.

RAAC mitigates the stress response of surgery in the perioperative period and accelerates recovery. Hepatobiliary and pancreatic resection is a complex surgical procedure for which the enhanced recovery program has been shown to be safe and effective in terms of postoperative outcomes. RAAC programs have been shown to be associated with lower morbidity, shorter postoperative stay, and reduced costs, with no difference in mortality and readmission rates.

Dental avulsion is a set of maneuvers that allow the tooth to be removed from its socket. It is both a therapeutic and a churigical procedure which is performed according to a well codified sequence and which obeys a certain number of rules. Our study included a sample of 200 patients, with a sex ratio of 1.22 in favor of the male sex. Ages from 2 to 77 years were involved in the extraction procedure. Young people aged 11 to 25 years were the most represented. The most frequent ethnic groups were the Bamanans (37%) and the Sarakoles (17%). Housewives and schoolchildren were the most concerned by the act of extraction with respectively 39.00% and 27.00%. The main etiology was dental caries. And the main functional sign that led to the consultation was pain. The molars were the most extracted teeth with 63.00%. Antibiotic therapy was performed in 98.50% of cases.
