Educational organizations are affected by development tasks because they have to offer and develop educational services in line with the needs of their target groups. The various educational sectors and institutions have to respond to changes. Teachers and learners are actors in educational processes and should be able to act successfully. Education management has to respond to these challenges and changes. As a young branch in the education sector, tasks arise from learning processes, on an organizational level and in the professionalization of teachers and administrators. There is a combination of pedagogical and economic concepts. Both elements should be balanced and result in viable solutions. Reflection is necessary for the development of design solutions.

The incorporation of educational technology in higher education institutions, specifically in normal schools in the State of Mexico, has gained special relevance in various learning environments. In the particular case of the Escuela Normal de Atlacomulco (ENA) is no exception and in the 2016-2017 school year, work began with an investigation from which emerged a technological tool specifically for the use of digital platforms that serve as support for teachers in their educational work. It is also worth highlighting the importance of the teacher's support for the students during the transition from a totally face-to-face education paradigm to another with the support of an educational platform, it is important to point out that in line with what distance education proposes in general, the b-learning or blended education model is taken up again, where the teacher and students who participated in this research consider that a better organization in the development of a course and the space-time flexibility to carry out academic activities are those characteristics that provide more benefits.

The book intertwines the main global migratory flows with the action of the main instruments aimed at guaranteeing the rights of immigrants, as well as analysing the action of these instruments and the agents responsible for their application. "Migration and Human Rights: From the Global Situation to the Brazilian Reality" is a complex work that seeks to analyse the effectiveness of international instruments in relation to the actions of national states, presenting immigration as a phenomenon of global scale and importance, widely linked to the coexistence of the most distinct societies, including Brazil.

The aim of this book was to analyse the factors in the classroom that lead to stress in the teaching profession at the Anani State School. It used descriptive exploratory methodology and field research with 30 teachers with a quantitative approach, because it was decided to analyse classroom working hours, whether or not physical activity is practised, time for leisure and the difficulties and various vulnerable situations that professionals encounter in the face of stress. Teacher stress is further aggravated by the limitations to which the school subjects teachers in terms of expressing their anxieties, frustrations and emotions. The results point to some of the most common stress situations experienced by teachers, and that the process of teacher illness occurs mainly due to double or triple working hours in order to obtain a higher salary, excessive working hours which have been one of the main reasons for the development of stress, a fast pace, lack of working conditions, among others. The conclusion is that stress is a daily occurrence in the lives of teachers, making them vulnerable to both physical and emotional discomfort.

Life in cities has distanced human beings from nature and made it difficult to understand the ecology of life dependent on the environment. Urban water collection and distribution processes contribute significantly to the fragmentation of knowledge and the vital recognition of the water cycle. Without the effective participation of the subject in environmental actions, it is not possible to understand the full complexity of water, which is dependent on the agent of protection. Global causality, ecological reasoning and responsibility for one's own actions places the subject as an included third party. In this way, valuing the intimate relationship between the subject and water, at the various levels of reality, determines an understanding of the inseparability of life and water. Transdisciplinarity as a worldview promotes an understanding of ecological complexity and the multiple mediations between the subject and the environment, since the subject, known as the third party, is taken into account in the cultural and historical reality of water and acts as an agent of protection, a holder of useful knowledge about the water cycle and the cycle of life.

The issue of poverty is a social problem on the public agenda because it is a global issue. In today's societies, there are a number of families living in poverty which is associated with the lack of economic resources of a person, but also has to do with the factors to develop in society, such as: education, housing together with basic services, social security, dissatisfaction of human rights. The purpose of this work is to identify the economic, political, social and cultural needs of the municipality of Padilla in order to identify the areas of opportunity that can be addressed through the various expressions of political participation.

The work is devoted to the study of issues of universal knowledge in the modern era, as well as hidden motives guiding activities in various spheres, including political-economic and social. Problematics of the book: neoliberal doctrine as an ideological factor in the XXI century; Russian and world economy in a period of deep crisis, analysis of the stated positions; supertask for Russia in the era of change. The book is intended for a wide range of readers: scholars, students and those simply interested in what is happening in the world.

The organisation of the nursing work process continues to be a constant challenge for hospital institutions, as the different tasks and responsibilities taken on by nurses in this context are immense. This book is an attempt to address this multiplicity of actions and activities carried out by nurses, as well as the instruments used in the work process. It also considers that all the actions carried out in the hospital environment are interdependent and that the workers involved have relative autonomy during the execution of their actions.

The present study describes the fundamental principles, modern surgical technologies and new aspects used in aortic valve prosthesis. Based on the comparative analysis, the influence of different types of artificial heart valves on the dynamics of the main morphofunctional and haemodynamic parameters (volume and linear characteristics) of LV is presented. The book is of interest to cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, anaesthesiologists, postgraduate students and for a wide range of specialists who meet patients after aortic valve replacement in their work.

Our study focused on verifying the palatability of Opilia celtidifolia leaves. The phytochemical study revealed saponosides, oses and holosides, and mucilages that can be used as chemical markers for quality control of Opilia celtidifolia leaves.Numerous polyphenolic constituents showed strong free-radical scavenging activity in decoctate, suggesting a beneficial antioxidant activity for hepatoprotection.Daily administration of leaf decoctate at doses of 50mg/Kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg and Opilia celtidifolia decoctate orally for 37 days induced individual weight gain in rats. Decoctate at 200 mg/kg reduced transaminases (ALAT and ASAT) and blood glucose levels in rats. There was an increase in water consumption during the test, and an increase in GGT and uric acid.We therefore recommend repeating this study with the macerate. KEYWORDS: Traditional medicine, Opilia celtidifolia, appetizing activity.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a chronic and progressive disease, characterized by an aberrant proliferation of fibroblasts and an accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins leading to respiratory insufficiency. In this research work, we chose carnosic acid, a bioactive substance extracted from rosemary, to evaluate its efficacy in vivo on an experimental model of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin (BLM) in Wistar rats and in vitro on human lung fibroblasts (HLF). The first in vitro part showed that CA induces apoptosis in HLF in a dose-dependent manner, accompanied by cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase and activation of the expression of the signaling proteins Akt, p38-MAPK and p21. The second part confirmed the protective effect of this biomolecule in vivo on the fibrosis process and oxidative stress induced by BLM. In the light of these results, it would be interesting to test the efficacy of CA on certain diseases whose physiopathology is dominated by inflammation, oxidative stress and cell proliferation.

The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between self-concept and antisocial behavior in adolescents in the crime prevention program of the Lima Public Prosecutor's Office. Non-probabilistic sampling was used and the sample consisted of 125 adolescents, males and females between 14 and 19 years of age. The design was non-experimental, correlational and cross-sectional. The Self-Concept Questionnaire (AF-5) developed by García and Musitu (2014) and the Antisocial-Delinquent Behavior Questionnaire (A-D) by Seisdedos (2001) were used. The results obtained indicate that there is a highly significant and inverse relationship (rho= -.249** and p< 0.005) between self-concept and antisocial behavior; this means that the lower the self-concept, the greater the presence of antisocial behavior. Similarly, a significant relationship was found between the dimensions of academic and emotional self-concept and antisocial behavior. On the other hand, no relationship was observed in the physical, family and social dimensions. In conclusion, there is a relationship between self-concept and antisocial behavior.

This book describes an investigative experience based on physical activity, coordination, traditional games and young sixth graders between the ages of 11 and 14 years old. Approached through a work based on traditional play and games, for the development of some aspects of motor coordination, the subject is based on playful pedagogical practices and group interaction, mediated and supervised by the researcher teacher. This experience is also based on the application of a test already established that allows the proper analysis of the results obtained, from the quantitative and qualitative point of view.

What type of experimental activities do first year Physical Science teachers carry out in the classroom and to what extent do they contribute to the construction of scientific knowledge? The work is framed in the identification of the didactic relations between the experimental activities proposed by Physical Science teachers and the construction of scientific knowledge, by means of the analysis of some experimental activities carried out by first year Physical Science teachers in a High School. It is also proposed to categorize these activities according to the typologies proposed by R. Porlán, to relate them to the reasons that lead to their approach and to determine to what extent they contribute to the construction of scientific knowledge. This is a qualitative case study; an ethnographic research, with a Historical-Hermeneutic Approach.

Case study: Origen Bistró Restaurant. Current economic development policies, together with the free trade agreements that the Colombian government is pursuing and that have led to the globalisation of markets, have led to the need for small entrepreneurs to generate new, better and more efficient business strategies that contribute to their economic strengthening, generating greater acceptance and loyalty from customers, who are becoming more demanding and better informed every day (Economic Cooperation and Development Organisation, 2014). Within the fulfilment of these strategies, more and more companies in all economic sectors must be concerned about innovation, so as not to be left behind in a diverse world that is beginning to move around technology. The gastronomy sector offered in the centre of Bogotá is a clear example of this reality, since this is a sector that has a low use of technology and is also subject to a rapid growth in demand from thousands of diners who come to visit or settle in the city to study or work (Jara Guerrero et al, 2014).

This book is a practical guide for young communicators recently graduated from universities, it is a basic material to start their working life, performing administrative communication tasks in any office of the public or private sector. With this book they will be able to perform all the daily tasks required in terms of documentary communication and in the elaboration of material that serves as a communication and information resource for the internal and external public of the institution.For this reason, it is an easy-to-use manual or practical guide to solve basic oral or written communication problems. It should be emphasized that this guide or manual was created with the purpose of being a support for those things that young graduates in many cases are unaware of in real field work.In years of university teaching, I have noticed that many interns learn more about communication work in the field and often make mistakes that frustrate them. With this guide or manual they will be able to check if their work actions are correct, for a good performance in their first work center.

This book, presented in two parts and five appendices, is none other than a collection of archives that sheds light on an education rooted in the obscurity of the indigénat, transmitted to generations of Algerian children within the schools and colleges of the time of colonialism. The first part entitled "the instruction of Algerians at the time of colonial France", gathers fragments of the history of the formation of an Algerian elite under the gaze of colonialism, these original documents, were collected from the overseas archives of Aix-en-Provence and are published for the first time; it is an approach that follows the same methodology of the book of André Mandouze "The Algerian revolution through texts", Paris, Maspero. The second part concerns an unpublished document distributed by the General Government of Algeria, entitled: "Answer to the Factum of Mekki Chadli on the Algerian question 1951", The original document is the property of Mr. Sid Ali Abdelhamid, former militant of the national cause and one of the founders of the CRUA "Revolutionary Committee for Unity and Action".

This research was conducted in a company dedicated to the production and commercialization of food additives, which uses several organic chemicals such as citric acid as raw material in the production of its products. This study focuses on the production line for powdered flavorings, since it was determined that exposure to these products during some stages of the process causes various health problems to employees at the operational level.

Effluents from the textile, paper, tanning and food industries, etc., are laden with dye particles, most of which are toxic. The aim of this project is to use sawdust as a plant-based adsorbent to eliminate methylene blue, an organic pollutant. The treatment method proposed in this work is based on the adsorption process, using sawdust from Aleppo pine, which has the advantage of being locally available. The adsorption capacity of sawdust was studied under the influence of various parameters such as contact time, adsorbent mass, initial effluent concentration, agitation, temperature, pH and chemical activation. Results showed that equilibrium was reached after 20 minutes of contact. BM removal rates were relatively high, reaching 99%, and this for a short time (20min), and for a low adsorbent mass. This leads us to conclude that this process is effective for the treatment of colored waters, and could be exploited on an industrial scale.

In the philosophical tradition, the question of freedom has been one of the most erected and most discussed themes; this is undeniable. Until we reached the Hegelian theory of freedom, the conception of freedom was, from its classical archetype, linked to a political morality - as we see in the ancient Greek world - to an understanding of freedom based on a subjective element, as proposed by the moderns. At the apex of German idealism, Hegel (1770 - 1831) proposed one of the most striking theories of freedom, and even one of the most original, since its purpose is to roughly unite the two conceptions indicated above. A type of freedom that apprehends not only a subjective freedom - as proposed by his predecessors in modernity - but also a freedom linked to political morality - as in the ancient Greeks.

When I started my degree course in pedagogy, I realised that there were some gaps, such as a greater relationship between theory and practice, given that few subjects in the degree course make this connection. With the aim of experiencing the context of the school and making a link with academic theories, in 2014 I took part in the selection process for the Institutional Teaching Initiation Scholarship Programme (PIBID), believing that it would contribute to broadening my knowledge. During my participation in the programme, some questions arose, such as: How have the actions of PIBID in the school environment contributed to the continuing training and re-signification of the knowledge of the supervising teachers? The analyses showed that the Early Years Subproject promoted collaborative work, since the actions developed in its context were carried out jointly with all the participants. The activities developed changed pedagogical actions, re-signifying the supervisors' teaching knowledge.

THE WINGS OF CREATION. Creativity, according to the Cultural-Historical perspective, can no longer be seen as something supernatural It is not a privilege granted to a few It is not even something that characterises crazy people It is not present in everyone as something innate But anyone can develop it, that is a fact It depends on interactions with the cultural environment throughout life A creative individual finds a way out of everything It is a question of elements of the imagination that are combined and result in new things, A being who creates is able to see beyond what has already been seen by someone else A being who creates is not limited by what is imposed on him But modifies his environment and does so with gusto If it weren't for the ability to create, we would still be living in caves We wouldn't evolve, we would continue in eternal sameness. (Anna Karoline Arraes Sousa).

This volume is inscribed in the new courses of the Curriculum of our school, including concepts that encourage the innovative and creative work of the students. Therefore, it is commendable that the new syllabus mentions in the methodology programmes the fundamental premise: How to do research in the social sciences; this phenomenon is determined by the rules of thinking and knowledge that converge in all research. The present material describes how to predetermine the object of study, which method can be used, to argue hypotheses and identify research techniques, in order to search for new products.

Diabetes Mellitus is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycaemia in common, type I and type II, the latter being the most frequent form of the disease, affecting 90% of all cases of Diabetes Mellitus. Men, in general, suffer more from severe and chronic illnesses when compared to women, so measures focused on health education have been implemented to raise awareness of changes in risk behaviour and the importance of self-care, in order to increase the life expectancy of this population. The participation of health professionals in caring for diabetic patients is essential. Nursing can articulate intervention actions by identifying the reality in which patients are inserted, using the Systematisation of Nursing Care as a facilitating element in care planning.

Biological connectivity is understood as those "corridors" that allow the connection between two or more natural elements of interest at a landscape scale. These corridors indicate, for example, how two patches of forest can be linked and which is the most appropriate path to achieve this connection, so that animal and plant species can use them and pass through them to get from one place to another and to perform their biological functions. Obviously, this connection occurs in the midst of a landscape matrix that includes both natural and artificial or agricultural elements. Therefore, understanding how biodiversity interacts in environments with so many variables or effects is key when establishing conservation or restoration programs in a territory.

The world is constantly changing and organizations need Human Resources capable of adapting and creating differentiating advantages. The aim of this study is to investigate and establish the relationship between emotional intelligence and a number of variables in the work context of Certified Accountants, including individual performance evaluation (self-perceived performance), work experience and the established working relationship. The research was carried out using a quantitative methodological approach. To this end, a questionnaire survey was carried out using the trait model, more specifically the self-report scale of Schutte et al. (1998). The sample was made up of 142 Certified Accountants aged between 20 and 70. The results show an increase in emotional intelligence proportional to years of experience in the profession, as well as a positive relationship between emotional intelligence (total and factors) and self-perceived performance at work. There appear to be no discrepancies between the emotional intelligence of self-employed workers (entrepreneurs) and employees.

The main objective of this work is to carry out a historical analysis of Legal Positivism, a doctrinal current that was widely dominant among jurists in the period between the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century. To this end, the analysis will begin with the central concepts that underpin the history of law, namely positive law and natural law. For this analysis, the evolution of both positive law and natural law will be studied, highlighting their main characteristics. This will be followed by an examination of Legal Positivism based on its main characteristics, as well as its development throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. Once the characteristics and main positivist schools have been presented, the thought of Hans Kelsen, one of the main names and exponents of this doctrine, will be examined. The analysis will be based on the study of the work Pure Theory of Law, as well as jurists who analyze this work.

Still's disease is an auto-inflammatory disease that occurs in children, and is therefore considered a single nosological entity with clinical and biological similarities. Diagnosis is made on the basis of characteristic cardinal signs, even in the absence of arthritis, which should no longer be an obligatory sign, thus delaying management. Treatment focuses on early, intensive therapy tailored to disease activity, to achieve lasting remission without drugs. Lymphohistiocytic activation syndrome should be a preoccupation of the practitioner throughout the course of the disease.

Recently, the social sciences have shown an interest in the narratives and stories of individuals and social groups, which is why this inclination has been called the "narrative turn". It is based on the assertion that narratives are part of social life and that they allow us to understand the meaning that people give to their lives, in addition to highlighting the more structural social elements that redefine them (Sparkes & Devís, 2018). Thus, narratives are an important theoretical-methodological way to spell out identities, belongings, distinctions, ritualisations or other social processes associated with culinary spaces and in particular the ways of preparing and consuming food in a given context. This introductory study aims to contribute to the construction of a model for analysing narratives of culinary spaces as structural situational accounts that reveal forms, contents, functions, actions and social structures of ethnographically understood culinary events, as well as a conceptual framework for the texts presented in this book.

Talking about Food and Nutritional Security refers to a multi-causal panorama, where there are several indicators that must be joined to conclude a statistical, geographic and temporal panorama about the characteristics of our population to be studied; For this we consider its Four Pillars (Biological Utilization, Food Accessibility, Food Acceptability and Food Availability), which the Observatory on Food and Nutritional Security of the Universidad Veracruzana, houses different indicators in each of its sections and which serve to have a better picture of the study region, the State of Veracruz. The objective is to support the management of Public Food Policies, in terms of the correct direction of resources, it is necessary the interpretation of tools that reflect the social and health conditions of individuals living in defined areas.
