The study was carried out at the Julio Hirschhorn Experimental Station (Lat. 34º 52' S and Long. 57º 58'W, 15m asl) of the Faculty of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences of the National University of La Plata, province of Buenos Aires, Argentina in the town of Los Hornos, Partido de La Plata.the blueberry crop is composed of plots with different varieties of the genus Vaccinum corymbosum "high blueberry", in this study we worked with Blue Cuinex and Georgia Gem of normal development and without visible health problems. The plants have been grown under rainfed conditions and with minimal pruning, weed control and phytosanitary management in order to test their productive adaptability under local climatic conditions. The orchard is managed in rows planted at a distance of 3 x 1m, i.e. a density of 3333 plants/ha, under rainfed conditions. During the 2016/2017 campaign on 27 plants of each variety distributed in random blocks, the following were determined: production per plant (Kg/pl), berry weight (gr), canopy projection (m2), canopy height, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), anthocyanin content and total acidity.

Different forms of media representations of violence are dealt with, which illustrate that violence in the media is integrated into a specific film, video and television plot and can perform different functions. A violent film will be analyzed as an example. A precise film analysis is essential for an ethical evaluation of the content, as this is the only way to recognize narrative structures and individual characters in their actions. The effect of violent films/media and the legitimacy of violence in films as well as the function of media education will be discussed. The study is based on the author's involvement with media education in the context of political education and his participation in the "Ecumenical Decade to Overcome Violence 2001-2010".

In the educational process, there is a constant and permanent interaction between: teacher, student, methodology, content and context. Hence, generating fully intentional learning strategies favours the achievement of meaningful learning. It is vitally important to implement methodologies that contribute to the competitive development of the student, seeking to strengthen these instances through the promotion of formative research, which allows for a greater degree of motivation, participation in the teaching-learning processes and generating reflection and discernment on scientific issues and issues of disciplinary significance in a specific area. Qualitative research plays a relevant role in organisational research, specifically as a case study method, as it is useful for gathering information in real-life contexts. Based on this, the case study method is applied, which suggests a plausible situation for the development of activities that promote the student's meta-cognitive strategies, achieving conceptual appropriation, decision making, reflection, critical and systematic analysis of reality.

This book provides an argued periodisation of the trajectory of Bioethics in Cuba. It is determined that despite the fact that its teaching and research have already been institutionalised, there are master's theses defended, various publications, and numerous scientific events carried out, there is an absence of an argued periodisation of the main moments through which the social construction of Bioethics in Cuba has passed between 1983 and 2009. This work explains the social factors that help to understand the main moments through which Bioethics in Cuba has passed during this period. Three fundamental stages through which the new knowledge has passed in the Antillean island were detected: 1983-1991 assimilation of the discipline, 1992-2002- Institutionalisation and teaching of Bioethics, 2003-2009 recreation of the epistemological status. The social conditioning factors that characterise these stages are explained, which allows us to understand the transit of Bioethics in the country, its moments of progress and setbacks.

The existence of a link between insalubrity and disease has been recognized since ancient times. However, an unhygienic, unhealthy environment is still a source of contamination and the spread of various diseases in the social environment. Indeed, economic development and urban planning have generally contributed to an increase in per capita consumption and waste production. The United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm from June 05 to 16, 1972, was a milestone in the evolution of international environmental law. This conference gave rise to the Stockholm Declaration, which sets out a number of principles, the first of which enshrines the human right to a quality environment. Article 53 of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of the Congo of February 18, 2006 stipulates that: "Everyone has the right to a healthy environment conducive to their full development. They have a duty to defend it. The State shall ensure the protection of the environment and the health of the population.

With a surface area of around 55,000 km2, the Kouilou-Niari watershed is located in southern Congo (Brazzaville). Two types of modification have been detected in the interannual change in runoff. In the pre-1970 period, wet and dry periods were observed to follow each other, but not in synchrony with rainfall. And, in the post-1970 period, there has been a decrease in runoff synchronous with precipitation. In view of the analysis carried out on the flow classes corresponding to the degree of humidity, which shows the presence of dry and moderately dry years (1954, 1958, 1967, 1968, 1975, 1980 and 1982), the Kouilou-Niari watershed as a whole suggests the beginnings of climatic changes in runoff.

This work focuses on the need to identify the diseases present in grapevine cultivation, as this is of great importance in the economic and productive aspect of the locality. Historically, in the locality of Sijan, Pomán Department, wine production was one of the mainstays of the economy, which constitutes a source of income for both the families of the producers and for the development of the community itself. Providing knowledge about the diseases that develop in vine cultivation is very useful, since the presence of these diseases is closely related to the quality level of the product. In turn, this work will have the character of a scientific dissemination article and in this way it can be used as a tool by the producer to raise this quality level, aiming to reach the highest levels that can be obtained.

In order to determine the personality dynamics in 5 Venezuelan Drag Queens, aged between 23 and 33 years old, with emphasis on their self-concept, body image and their ideas about masculinity and femininity, an in-depth case study was conducted in a descriptive-comparative research with a non-experimental, cross-sectional design. Under these parameters, an additional exploration was conducted with 5 Venezuelan homosexual men, aged between 23 and 37 years old, who do not engage in this activity, in order to contemplate comparatively, what characteristics differentiate Drag Queens from Drag Queens. Both groups of participants were explored through the use of strategies such as direct observation within the environment for the elaboration of field logs, in-depth interviews and, on the other hand, the administration of projective psychological tests. The results reveal a division of traits in Drag Queens participants, with some displaying traits under female clothing and others outside of it, among other aspects that may be relevant for future research.

This project indicates the theoretical and practical order to be followed in order to carry out the research on the proposed topic "Territorial and Diplomatic Asylum in Ecuadorian legislation", considering as background the Convention held in Havana (Cuba) in 1928, which considered asylum as a single one, continuing in the framework of the Conventions, the one held in Montevideo (1933) is cited, which presents important reforms to asylum, such as the power of each State Party to grant it. Subsequently, through the Convention held in Caracas (Venezuela) in 1954, asylum was erroneously divided into diplomatic and territorial asylum, which has given rise to various controversies, depending on different political factors.

Evaluative practices as facilitators of self-care is a thesis that was carried out for the master's degree in education at the Pontificia Universidad Javeriana. The proposal aims to explore the evaluative practices that are carried out in the Santa Clara Hospital (Bogotá, Colombia) and how these practices encourage self-care in medical students. This is achieved through a qualitative approach with an interpretative scope, developed especially as a case study. Instruments such as surveys and a field diary were used to identify these evaluative practices in the institution. Applying criteria of methodological rigour, and carrying out a process of analysis of the information. The main results revolve around the three categories and their emerging nuclei in which the evaluative processes generated by self-care are described. Finally, the findings are shown as recommendations for the institution, regarding the evaluative practices that should foster self-care in medical students.

With the entry into force of the LO 1/2015, of 30 March, many modifications have been made to the Penal Code, however, one of the most relevant has been the introduction of the permanent revisable prison sentence. The instant follow-up of cases such as Marta del Castillo, Gabriel, Laura Luelmo, Julen, etc., have caused society to empathise more with the suffering of the victims, and increased their sense of insecurity due to the violence of these types of events. All of this has led the population to demand greater action by the criminal justice system. The legislator has not ignored the opinion of the majority of citizens and this has been expressed in the Preamble (I) of the LO 1/2015, in which it has stated that "the need to strengthen confidence in the Administration of Justice makes it necessary to make available a legal system that guarantees predictable judicial decisions that are also perceived by society as fair", and with this objective "permanent revisable prison is introduced for those extremely serious crimes, in which citizens demanded a penalty proportional to the act committed".

I consider the work of a producer, especially that of commercials, to be a very broad discipline. We could say that it is about commitment, together with the use and development of skills, especially mental skills, necessary in the planning of tasks and the resolution of problems or adverse situations, in order to achieve a goal. Over the years, these developed skills have helped me to apply them not only in my professional life, but they have also helped me and even become a rule in my personal life. As producers we are subjected to a significant amount of stress, although the process is similar in every commercial, the problems that can occur are very different, no commercial is the same as another, something always goes wrong when it shouldn't go wrong.

Performance-based financing is a systemic approach with a focus on results, defined as the quantity and quality of products and the inclusion of vulnerable people. The Division Provinciale de la Santé du Haut Lomami (Haut Lomami Provincial Health Division) has sixteen Health Zones that have contracted with the EUP FBP Katanga financed by the PDSS, of which 12 are control Health Zones and 4 are case Health Zones, of which we have targeted 12 case Health Zones. The work objective is to evaluate the performance progression of the contracting structures under funding based on the performance of the Haut-Lomami Provincial Health Division. Our study is a longitudinal comparative study, using documentary techniques, of the performance of health facilities in the Haut-Lomami Provincial Health Division.

All foreign language acquisition requires the mastery of four basic skills, which are essential in the didactics of foreign languages, including: written competence, which, once acquired, enables the learner to write a coherent, structured text through which he or she attempts to convey a message to others.Indeed, written production requires a certain number of skills, namely: grammatical competence, which we have attempted to develop and analyze in the course of our research. Our aim was to highlight the importance of acquiring grammatical competence in this decisive stage, which represents the starting point for 1AM learners' learning to write in a standardized way, and thus to identify the various difficulties that prevent them from writing in a standardized and refined style on different writing occasions. In the same perspective, we emphasized the contribution of introducing ICTE as an appropriate solution that motivates learners and helps teachers to carry out the writing production session more effectively.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part discusses the business context of data mining, starting with a chapter that introduces data mining and explains what it is used for and why. The second chapter presents the virtuous cycle of data mining: the continuous process by which data mining is used to turn data into information that leads to actions, which in turn create more data and more learning opportunities. Chapter 3 is a much broader discussion of data mining methodology and best practices. This chapter benefits more than any other from our experience since we wrote the first book. The methodology presented here is designed to leverage the successful engagements in which we have been involved. Chapter 4, which has no equivalent in the first edition, deals with data mining applications in marketing and customer relationship management, the fields where most of our own work has been done.

This book outlines the general contours of a contemporary conception of the non-verbal dimension. Its frame of reference is contemporary relational psychoanalysis, integrating elements of attachment theory, infant research and affective and social neuroscience. It may be of interest to psychotherapists and psychoanalysts as well as to a wider general audience interested in how we are currently thinking about the non-verbal dimension of human interactions.

This study was carried out on 400 patients admitted to the Neonatology Unit of the Abel Gilbert Pontón Hospital in the city of Guayaquil in 2016, with a quantitative approach, non-experimental design and cross-sectional cut, which seeks to determine the causes and variables that lead neonates to suffer from this pathology, as well as the most vulnerable gestational age groups and their relationship with early infant feeding.

The aim of this work is to combat the illegal fishing of fry and to find out about the yields of the gear and fishing units used to catch these two kalengera fish in Lake Kivu. The method of morphological description of the even and odd fins as well as anatomical by dissection and sexing made it possible to find the results to improve the outputs of these fish it is necessary to make sexing by decreasing the females and to maintain the males which are profitable, separated the alevins, juveniles and fish merchants to avoid the preys and predators. On Lake Kivu in Kalengera, we use the appolo and tile artisanal fishing unit, with 80% of the gear made up of large-mesh gillnets and 20% of prohibited mosquito nets and donkey echo sounders.

Education for the prevention of violence is a qualitative research project that seeks to provide tools for implementation in social and national areas, in order to contribute to the execution of the Peace Agreements in Colombia between the Government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia FARC- EP. The aim of this research is to provide evidence of international support, in this case provided by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), in the implementation of the agreements, the mechanisms established for post-conflict education, national compliance with the agreements, and the challenges of reintegrating FARC ex-combatants into civilian life.

This work aims, on the one hand, to detail the differences in electoral behavior depending on the habitat and, on the other, to investigate the possible causes of these. To do this, we study whether variables that have been recurrent in various studies on electoral behavior, such as age, gender, social class, educational level, nationalist sentiment or ideology, can account for the observed differences. Along with them, the population of the municipalities is also included as an explanatory factor of the gap in electoral behavior between rural and urban areas. The confirmation that this variable, by itself, can explain part of the differences observed between the different habitats leads to the search for the possible causes that the size of the group has electoral importance, as well as its relationship with the broadly clientelist phenomenon. collected in the bibliography.

Multisensory perception is a fascinating topic that has historically attracted the attention of scientists and artists. From the mysterious effects of synesthesia, where the senses intertwine in unexpected ways, to the complex interactions between sight, hearing, touch and other senses that shape our everyday experience, stimulating multisensory perception is an ongoing field that sparks our imagination and invites us to explore the depths of the human psyche.

The book recreates some novel alternatives for the improvement of fine motor skills in pre-school children, aimed at the necessary exercise of the fine muscles of the hands, as they generally do not receive the direct intention of natural movements or physical activities, considering it important to work on them as part of the general development of the body and the skills that need to be created at this stage.

The authors list relevant points on parental alienation, recent studies guiding interventions and the growing debate on the topic at national and international level. The law guiding the behaviour of professionals involved in child custody disputes and its updating, with the aim of benefiting the child or adolescent in this situation. An important point presented in the literature review refers to Parental Alienation Syndrome, which can affect these people when parents are in the process of separation, especially when it is contentious. In this context, we work with a multidisciplinary team, and one of the professionals who can act in these cases is the psychologist, who can carry out assessments, diagnoses, issue reports and opinions, as well as analyse the emotional state, the personality structure and the configuration of family relationships, in order to offer suggestions and support judicial decisions.

The mind-body problem is an old problem in philosophy that has raised several questions and possible solutions. This problem has permeated the major branches of philosophy, as it has strong ontological and epistemological implications. One cannot talk about this problem without committing oneself to a specific ontology or having an epistemological stance. This paper will focus on finding out what these ontological and epistemological implications are throughout the history of philosophy. On the other hand, the definitions of the word "mind" in antiquity will be sought in order to determine where the problem begins.

This essay brings together different writings around a specific search, one that addresses the plots that are interwoven when undertaking a research project in the philosophical field. In my case, it begins when I feel challenged by a specific theme: the body as a relational knot of meaning-producing practices. Therefore, in this framework I am confronted with questions to be unravelled from certain western theoretical frameworks. Those that focus on the mechanisms in which the different legitimated practices of power are involved in any treatment referring to the sexed materiality of corporeality. Subsequently, I focus on the philosophical underpinning of Eastern worldviews that allow me to retrace those imposed disciplinary avatars. Where the body has been trapped in a certain spatio-temporal relationship to give rise to new experiences around it; thus promoting expressiveness, self-perception and self-knowledge by encouraging ways of perceiving, appreciating and respecting both one's own body and that of the Other.

Nowadays, it is observed that the values of yesteryear such as solidarity, tolerance, sense of neighborliness, respect, community work, in short, the social integration that was the basis of the welfare of our community has been replaced by individualism, selfishness and extreme competitiveness typical of a fierce capitalism, of an imposed globalization. Education does not seem to escape this voracious onslaught, that is why it was decided to introduce cooperative games giving a twist of competitiveness and reward individual skills present in most sports to a comprehensive training, with pro-social skills, tolerance, solidarity, collaboration ... also necessary to be fruitful in society, live in it and continue to assimilate the situations in the best way throughout life. The research is based on the observation of whether these cooperative games can transcend in the interpersonal relationships of children, their school and social coexistence. It is only the entrance door for those who wish to expand, enrich and, why not, put this pedagogical resource into practice.

This book aims to rescue the subjectivity, the spirituality of the human person, whatever the scientific or non-scientific positions that claim to define and characterise it. Subjectivity constitutes at least half of man's destiny. The health of this subjectivity will determine the possibility of well-being, of realising projects, of sustaining values, of having a share of happiness. Today, we should react against the application of an excessively analytical and mechanistic science that biologises the soul too much but, at the same time, try not to fall into the risky opposite of psychologising the physical to the extreme. The purpose of medicine is not to produce pathology but to cure or improve the sick, even if many treatments have little connection with morbid phenomena and their explanations. The reinstatement of the sciences of the spirit and the relationships of the whole of life should always be part of the foundations of a holistic medicine for people. The outer world and the inner world are inseparably linked in our brains.

This first book devoted to the Covid-19 pandemic is in four parts. The first part gives a brief overview of the history of epidemics worldwide, with some temporal and spatial details, while evoking experiences in the fight against these epidemics and the lessons learned. The second part focuses on the history of epidemics in the Maghreb and Morocco in particular, with a more detailed look at the Covid-19 pandemic and how Morocco responded to this epidemic in terms of restrictions, hospitalization, vaccination and support for socio-economic sectors. The third part is devoted entirely to the Covid-19 pandemic, giving figures on the number of infections and deaths worldwide, and listing the various strategies for combating and vaccinating against the Covid-19 pandemic. The fourth part is an analysis of the interventionist reactions of the various stakeholders and a commentary on the different approaches and methods of a number of players through the different media.

This book aims to study the peaceful participation of women in Tunisia during and after the Jasmine Revolution of 2011. In this sense, it is important to point out the role of Tunisian women in the country and in their Arab and Islamic environment, given that they have been pioneers in several moments that have marked the country's history, such as the demonstrations in rejection of the tyranny of the Ben Ali regime, as well as in the construction of a democratic country, participating massively in the legislative and presidential elections of 2014 and in the municipal elections of 2018. The author's interest is not only to make Tunisian women known, but rather to delve into the Tunisian experience through a detailed study that meets our expectations. Therefore, the situation of Tunisian women in different aspects such as political, social, economic, etc., has been polemicised in order to make the image that we are used to drawing more complex. This book, not only remains in the academic field, but also gives way to orient new lines of social research on the position of women seen from various points of view and the challenges they face.

We're living in a very auspicious time in human history, considered by economists to be the golden age of mankind. The number of millionaires and billionaires in the world has grown steadily in recent years, many of them starting from almost nothing. Yet this millionaire population represents only around 1% of the world's population. The other 99% make up the middle class and the so-called poor. Why this huge difference? What have these millionaires done differently from the others? What behaviors and attitudes did they have towards money that the 99% did not? What rules did they follow with money that the middle class and the poor didn't? After a long, in-depth study of these wealthy men, it was found that they had to avoid several mistakes with money; mistakes that many people continue to make to this day, reducing their chances of getting rich. Discover in this book the 20 mistakes to avoid with money, if you want to achieve financial independence.
