The topic proposed in this book "laundering of dirty virtual currencies" is new and topical. Unpublished because it deals with "dirty" virtual currencies. Dirty because they are acquired fraudulently (theft, fraud, hacking, phishing, phishing, hacking ...), or acquired legally but with dirty money and finally used for criminal purposes (money laundering, purchase of drugs, weapons ...). It is topical because it deals with the Internet, new technologies, virtual currencies, the potential risks and the measures to be taken to regulate, monitor and deal with them in the courts.The book required an intense effort involving several months of research, reading and consultation on the Web. The book refers to numerous reports, studies and other rich documents, as shown by the extensive bibliography published in the appendix, relating to the writings of international organisations, national institutions competent in the field and writings reported by experts and the international press.

More and more young Tunisian women are joining the ranks of the Islamic State terrorist organisation in Iraq and Syria. Long disregarded by the anti-terrorist services, they are beginning to be seen as a threat that is just as worrying as that of male jihadists. In addition to the security issue posed by this phenomenon, the problem of the exit and radicalisation of young Tunisian women represents a crucial issue for our society. We are not only confronted with a security problem, it is more globally a societal problem. In this case, it is striking how little quantitative and qualitative information we have on Tunisian terrorist groups and the profile of their members in general.

The sociocultural configuration of modern liquid society directly influences the way individuals conceive relationships. The defining traits of liquid times - denial of tradition, appreciation of individual freedom, worship of the logic of consumption - are assimilated also in the experience of human relationships. In "Os íntimos", Inês Pedrosa presents representations of this liquidity through the voices of the characters Afonso, Pedro, Filipe, Augusto and Guilherme. The individual in the modern liquid world rejects everything that is lasting; thus, love relationships that imply commitment are seen as constraints, obstacles to the exercise of individual freedom. Cultivators of the instantaneous, contemporary subjects repudiate permanence. In the world of connection, it is inevitable that networks are established, but these networks must be fragile, ready to be undone at any moment.

The objective is to estimate the frequency of T2DM in the health centers of the Oujda prefecture, as well as its relationship with two modifiable risk factors, namely obesity and physical activity.The sociodemographic and bioclinical data of 535 persons aged 18 years and over and recruited by random sampling, were collected using a structured and comprehensible questionnaire translated into the Oujdi dialect. Another IPAQ questionnaire was used to assess participants' physical activity. The association of diabetes with gender, residence, educational level, occupation, obesity and physical activity was analyzed. Our sample was characterized by a clear dominance of the female sex (85%), and an estimated frequency of type 2 diabetes of 10% and 2% in pre-diabetes. More than half of the participants in the study were illiterate: 52%, and 84% had no occupation, 71% were obese or overweight and 57% were physically inactive. T2DM was related to gender (p=0.009), occupation (0.02), physical activity (p=0.02) and obesity (p=0.05).

The reflection on the Central African crisis is an attempt to elucidate the African Union's track record in managing this crisis, which has erupted cyclically throughout the Central African Republic. From such a local or internal perspective of crisis management, the analysis carried out showed, with the help of documentation, the positive diplomatic and military record, but limited by (the) lack of means and initiative to control the intervention. It is at the end of these limitations, an expression of weaknesses, that we have highlighted the internal perspectives, including the revision of the agreements on governance, supported by dialogue, but also at the international level, the need for a policy of accommodation in this sense. Thus, let us say that the assessment of the AU's intervention in the Central African crisis is far from confirming its autonomy, if not through broad adjustments. We believe that with the homo-determination of the leaders by stripping themselves of inferiority or superiority complexes, a lasting peace will be achieved in the country and development will have its home in the Central African Republic.

Rosmarinus officinalis L is an aromatic medicinal plant that represents a source of biologically active secondary metabolites such as essential oils and flavonoids. The identification of the species was carried out based on the external morphological characteristics that were found identical to those described in the new flora of Algeria and southern desert regions. The essential oils of Rosmarinus officinalis.L were extracted by hydrodistillation which was associated with the liquid-liquid extraction by petroleum ether, this allowed us to have a better yield. The solid-liquid extraction of flavonoids and catechins more precisely gave a better result with the soxhlet extractor compared to maceration; TLC, UV-Vis and IR analysis of the extract using pure catechin as control allowed us to confirm the presence of catechins in our extract. The study of the antioxidant activity of the extracted catechins, according to the electrochemical method showed that they have an important antioxidant activity confirmed by a DPPH free radical scavenging test.

This book aims to identify and describe how governance practices can help the succession process in a family business. The RBS Group was the focus of the study, for being a family company that has already gone through three succession processes, thus enabling its analysis under the highlighted points. It was identified that the company presents practices of corporate governance, such as, for instance, the boards of directors, family and shareholders, which conduct its development and contribute to the perpetuity of the enterprise, as well as it has proven to adapt to the requirements of good governance practices, facing each of the succession processes that it has undergone. The concern of the group's management with the individuality of each dimension (family, company and property) and how they relate to each other in the organizational environment is highlighted, so that all dimensions have the same relevance and prerogatives.

The text discusses the question of redefining the art of the actor, in the context of the two virtual projects staged by Mark Reaney and Ron Willis in Kansas, USA, in 1995 and 1996: The Adding Machine and Wings. The subject of technology pushing forward the frontiers of knowledge is addressed, while art, as always, is invited to reflect these new experiences. Virtual theatre implies, therefore, a redefinition of the actors' performance, the role of the technicians, the function of the directors and the relationship with the audience. The study discusses, at the level of the theatre, the existing relationships between the corporal, the psychic and the artificial, the multidisciplinary training of the actor, the question of the diminished actor, the question of a new performer, and the concerns that generally arise during the process of staging where new technologies are used. The work is addressed to specialists in theatre and new technologies, as well as to the theatre and virtual world enthusiast.

We live in a world that we think we know, but in reality we do not. The real world is governed by the spiritual world, which has its own realities. Like a ball that is thrown at a wall and bounces back, these are the actions we take in our daily lives. They come back to us, showering us with either blessings or curses. Our good deeds are recorded in our Personal Book of Life to bestow favours upon us; our transgressions are retrieved by the spirits of darkness, who open the doors of spiritual prisons before us, causing us grievous harm that is difficult to remedy. But by divine mercy, for nothing is impossible for God, we can come out of them and be restored. Spiritual prisons are many and varied, and above all very subtle; one quickly crosses the line. Let us discover some of them together and analyse their consequences. I have been there and I assure you they are not pleasant ones. Satan, God and Me is an autobiographical work that will help you avoid the traps of Satan leading us into his filthy prisons. A good reflection by the grace of the Lord our God.

In Benin, protected areas are the only places where the forestry services still maintain a minimum level of protection. It seems appropriate to evaluate the impact of the participatory management plan on the forest formations of the Monts Kouffé classified forest ten years after its implementation. To achieve this objective, a methodological approach was used that combined diachronic mapping of the forest cover, phytosociological and forest inventory, and socio-economic surveys of the local populations. The results showed a regression of forest formations such as gallery forests, dense dry forests and tree and shrub savannahs and an increase in open forests and wooded savannahs. The significance of the paired sample t-test at the 5% threshold between the diversity parameters on the one hand and between the structural parameters of 2004 and 2014 on the other hand, shows that the plant formations have been modified in time and space. In the opinion of the riparian populations, logging, livestock raising and carbonization are the main factors in this modification.

The legal regime of the revocation of the deceptive trademark is based on the determination of the manifestations towards the consumer of the deceptiveness applied to the trademark, with the aim of arriving at a reception from a comparative study, a general theory of the deceptive trademark in OAPI law. This will be done through the study of the raison d'être of deception in trademark law, which will lead us to the examination of the future of the revocation of the deceptive trademark. On the one hand, the examination of the rationale of deception in trademark law identifies the notion of deception and its appearance in trademark law. It is to be noted that the notion of deception is apprehended differently according to whether it is in Cameroonian law or in French law. On the other hand, the analysis of the future of the deceptive trademark has retained our attention. It deals with the particularity of the mark that has become deceptive because the term "become deceptive" supposes that the mark was true at the beginning and it is the use that has made it deceptive.

Postpartum blues is the most common postpartum mood, with a prevalence of 75 to 80%. Characterized by irritability, sadness, fatigue, access to crying and emotional lability, postpartum sadness has been considered a mild and transitory phenomenon in recent years, however it can have negative repercussions for both the mother and the newborn, which is a risk factor for the development of subsequent mental health problems.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) has a poor prognosis. Identification of the factors that condition its aggressiveness would be crucial. The aim of the study was to determine the histoprognostic factors of resectable PCA and to evaluate the interest of the Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) study. This is a descriptive study of 36 cases of PCA. EMT was assessed by tumor budding and immunohistochemical expression of vimentin and CD44. Conventional PCA was the primary histologic type (78%). The 5-year survival was 5.6%. Age ¿ 70 years and expression ¿ 5% of vimentin influenced survival in univariate analysis. Size ¿ 4 cm, presence of tumor remnant, and high-grade budding were independent factors for poor prognosis. Tumor budding was the only independent factor influencing disease-free survival. It was associated with vimentin expression. EMT is a progressive phenomenon of PCA responsible for its aggressiveness and resistance to chemotherapy. Recognition of the mechanisms that regulate this phenomenon offers hope for targeted therapies.

The Six Sigma specialist is one of the most sought after professionals nowadays and is among the 10 biggest trends in the market. This book aims to show the application and advantages of the Six Sigma methodology in different fields of activity. The use of this quality tool and of the techniques associated to the program has made possible results that deserve a more detailed evaluation, especially in different branches, such as, for example, in the health, civil construction and industrial areas.

The study of this work presents a partial structural analysis of the chassis of a mobile concrete plant with erectable silo, designed and produced in a company of the metalmechanical industry. The main objective of the author was to perform a partial analysis of the chassis structure that supports the cement silo, due to a deformation presented in the beams where the hydraulic cylinders are fixed, and thus to design a chassis with truss to support the maximum stresses presented in the concrete plant. To certify that the place of the deformation is, in fact, the region of greater concentration of stress, a Von Mises stress analysis was performed through SolidWorks - Simulation on the original structure. A chassis with plane truss was modelled to replace the original deformed structure. To design this new truss chassis, MDSolid 4.0 was used, which was used to calculate the stresses in the truss members, and through these stresses the truss was designed and another structural analysis was performed using SolidWorks - Simulation.

In addition to its traditional functions of judging the accounts of public accountants, budgetary and financial discipline and management control, the Moroccan court of auditors, which presents itself as an institution guaranteeing transparency in the management of public funds and accountability and which is not, moreover, assimilated to the executive, legislative or judicial powers, has been given, with the promulgation of the fundamental law of 2011, the organic law of finance no. 130. 13 and law 55.16 amending and supplementing the code of financial jurisdictions, more accentuated powers, in this case assistance to public authorities. However, the question that arises is whether, in its "assistance", the Court is not required to provide advice to the public authorities?

This book describes the process of the creation of the province of Mai-Ndombe after the break-up of the province of Bandundu in accordance with the constitution of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This process includes the following five stages: the installation of the provisional Bureau; the validation of powers; the elaboration and adoption of the Rules of Procedure; the election and installation of the final Bureau; and the election of the Governor and Vice-Governor of the province, in accordance with article 168 of the electoral law. The book also presents the personalities who played a decisive role as well as the major challenges encountered during this process.

How reductive is the idea that sees in the environment only the infinite diversity of living and non-living things that surround us! Because the other is in the I, the society in the solitude of the Ego, the present work intends to lead the reader to a wider understanding of the concept. Already the idea of environmental degradation is not so far from our social degradation and this one from our moral degradation. Otherwise Nature would not have come to war with us. Master Eckart points out that green wood groans when it burns. Is this groaning not the effect of an ontological wound? What man would not groan when reduced to the state of an object? For our part, the stone damages, it is said, the hand that mistreats it, and so does Nature. Being before me, in me, without me and enveloping me on all sides, it can only leave the status of a simple object to take on the status of the Absolute of a gift. I could not use it without enough consideration as something which is only external to me.

Between 1954 and 1962, the Opal Coast sent thousands of its children to "maintain order" in Algeria. In a land largely unknown to the northernmost part of France, they discovered the horrors of a conflict that separated them from their families and friends and made them lose their jobs. Of these young people, 378 did not return. How did the inhabitants of the coastline live and feel this war on a daily basis? This is a history of the Opal Coast through its conscripts and their families, and also through the links forged with Algeria. More than 50 years later, it is still difficult to talk about the war.

This book is the result of an arduous research work developed in the San Pedrito neighborhood of the city of San Salvador de Jujuy (Province of Jujuy) - Argentina. The main objectives of this study were: to analyze and evaluate the possibility of applying an adequate treatment to household waste that allows the reduction of pollution levels, raising awareness among neighbors of the need to access the recycling of household organic waste using processing methodologies applicable to a domestic scale.

Mechanization is now widespread in all sectors of agriculture. Soil working tools are ploughing tools, pseudo ploughing tools which carry out a deep work without turning over the soil and the tools known as superficial manners which prepare the seedbed and their working depth is lower than that of ploughing. The seed drills must provide a precise dose of seed per hectare. Plant protection products and liquid fertilizers are applied with sprayers, while solid forms are applied with fertilizer spreaders. Slurry and manure spreaders were designed for spreading farmyard manure. The harvesting of grains (cereals, oilseeds) is done with a combine harvester. The harvesting of roots and tubers is carried out by different machines that can be used one after the other or simultaneously in combined form. Forage harvesting machines are also very different and depend on the type of harvest. It is therefore essential to have accurate and nuanced information on agricultural equipment.

The rising competitive market hinders the constant improvement of production systems, thus requiring a good management of their production processes adapted to quality management practices, in search of better efficiency scores. Independently of the branch of the company, this improvement originates in the identification and elimination of waste. In this way, this book aimed to propose improvements in an information flow of a process, named System of Disconnection Management (SGD) of a network in an electric power distributor, making use of basic quality tools to reduce the inefficiencies identified in the process. The proposal involved the sectors that operate in the building of the Company of study and the execution partner companies as well as their workers, interconnecting all levels (Strategic, Tactical and Operational). The contributions of this work are concentrated in the mechanism proposed for the execution of the activities without running away from the deadlines present in the SOP 001. The literary contribution refers to the amount of research in the area of Production Engineering focused on services, emphasizing quality in service providing companies.

Osteonecrosis is a disease characterized by the death of bone cells due to ischemia, which is related to an alteration in blood circulation, resulting in an area of osteomedullary necrosis and located preferentially in the epiphysis of the humeral head, the femoral condyles, the tibial plates and more frequently the femoral head, whose vascularization is particularly precarious. This is a well-defined anatomical and radiological entity, given the large number of studies devoted to it, both diagnostically and radiologically. A distinction is generally made between the most frequent traumatic necroses and non-traumatic necroses associated with certain etiological factors. Biopsy drilling is the most widely used conservative treatment, used alone or in combination with other biological substances, and offers patients with ONTF not only pain relief, but also temporary stabilization of the disease by avoiding early destruction of the coxofemoral joint.

The main focus of the study was to expand the range of specialized dry breakfasts ready to eat, on the one hand possessing the advantages of whole grains, and on the other hand easily digestible. The technology of cereal processing with the production of ingredients for the creation of breakfasts of instant cereal crops, as well as sour milk drink with cereal concentrates, has been developed. This technology preserves the maximum amount of vitamins, minerals and fiber contained in cereal crops. The technology of processing provides the rational use of secondary products in the production of sour-milk drink with cereal concentrates, providing for the processing of secondary raw materials (seed shells), thus achieving the enrichment of dietary fiber. The directions of cereal processing products use in the technology of food products of healthy consumer demand, developed their component compositions, studied organoleptic and physical-chemical parameters of the finished products.

Natural extracts from plants contain a variety of phenolic compounds and essential oils that are believed to have antioxidant capacities. This work aims to conduct a phytochemical study and to evaluate the antioxidant activity of extracts from four medicinal plants from eastern and southern Algeria; Crataegus oxyacantha, Pistacia lentiscus, Clematis dioica and Pituranthos scoparius.

One of the interests of ancient myths lies in their literary evolution. Since antiquity, the passage of the myth into literature and its relation to the new demands of a society in moral, social or political fields have resulted in the change of the ancient stories of mythology. Many French and Iranian playwrights, writers and poets of the twentieth century have modified the characteristics of myths in their works for various purposes. Among them, we can mention Jean Giono and Moniru Ravâni Pur. Studying Rav¿ni Pur's Pan Trilogy and Ahl-e qarq1 in order to verify the reason for these metamorphoses, we came to this result that the characters of the myths such as the god Pan and the mermaids are described as fierce, wicked, and destructive creatures only to express symbolically a social truth. Embodying either the atrocities of the First World War or the violence of the Iran-Iraq War, these myths also show us the worldview of these two writers.

Spain is a technological reference for developing countries such as Latin America; Spain's national statistics institute provides data on the use of ICT and e-commerce in companies, using this data we will look for the minimum performance of the dimensions of internet connection, social networks and e-commerce, for companies with less than 10 employees and for companies with more than 10 employees. We will determine which dimension has a better trend in performance by types of companies. a Shapiro Wilk normality test will be performed for the two groups of companies. The minimum performance of the dimensions and type of company will be determined by the value of the mean and we will look for the standard deviation to determine how far it departs from the minimum performance.

The book shows the results of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) research project conducted at the Universidad de La Frontera, Temuco, Chile from March to June 2021. The objective of GUESSS is to analyze the entrepreneurial intention and activity of university students through the application of an online survey conducted every two years. In each cycle of data collection, GUESSS has been consolidating and is implemented in more and more countries, culminating in its ninth version in 2021, with more than 58 participating countries and more than 267,000 students responding to the completed questionnaire. The latter makes GUESSS one of the largest studies on university entrepreneurship in the world. The analysis of the information collected is what will serve as input to present the main results obtained for the Universidad de La Frontera in relation to the entrepreneurial intention and activity of its students, which will help the university to evaluate the effectiveness and quality of its programs in the context of entrepreneurship.
