The work "Sensorics in portraits and expression of lyricism (Russian literature of the 19th century)" presents an actual literary analysis of psychological mastery of Russian writers of the 19th century, shown through the peculiarities of their individual author's sensual worldview. This diversifies the inner world of the characters, as the authors of the works translate to their heroes the predominant properties of "visualizers, "hearers", kinesthetes. Thus, an original sensory palette emerges - a kind of "entrance" into the emotional depths of human nature and unique characters.

This research work aims to determine the scope and limitations of the actions generated by the humanitarian sector on the Colombian-Venezuelan border (international cooperation agencies and NGOs), through the different programmes and projects they have developed in response to the Venezuelan migration crisis registered since 2015 and which continues to occur today, in order to analyse to what extent these responses have contributed to the insertion of Venezuelan citizens in the labour market of the border city of Cúcuta and their sustainability over time, taking into account the lack of public policies generated by the local government to address this phenomenon.

The minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) technique has emerged as an alternative to the use of conventional coolant lubrication, as the application of atomized lubricant at high pressure reduces the amount of cutting fluid required for machining. Several studies have aimed to improve the technique when using it in abrasive machining, as it has been noted that MQL is deficient in removing chips, causing the phenomenon of caking, which impairs the efficiency of the process, so mechanisms that can clean the cutting surface of the wheel are of paramount importance. The aim of this study is to catalog alternatives for cleaning, using a device to insert rectangular sticks of Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Aluminum Oxide and Silicon Carbide into the cutting surface of the CBN grinding wheel. In this way, the behavior of this cleaning tool on the surface quality of the ground parts could be analyzed according to different output variables.

The aim of this work, "The hidden curriculum in search of moral judgment competence: a case study", is to analyze the importance of adapting didactic content by including a discussion of the values of moral judgment competence in order to promote the inner growth of the student, in search of consolidating the spirit of co-citizenship. The correlation between the hidden curriculum and the competence of moral judgment, through the discussion of moral dilemmas, presents an alternative pedagogical intervention that culminates in the practice of reflection and the construction of the new man, which is very important for educators when they dedicate themselves to the study of how to transform theory and technique into a praxis that is socially committed. This work is divided into two parts: the first is based on a bibliography to cover the main concepts, and the second consists of a case study to get to know the phenomenon more closely. The aim of this work is to offer the school community a reflection on the hidden curriculum, highlighting the importance of moral dilemmas in the process of producing knowledge and the inner transformation of the student.

In the various chapters which make up the first three parts of this book, we attempt to set in motion a fruitful dialogue between various methods, notions and systems of philosophical ideas, rejecting at all costs any discourse which would plead, as is often the case case, for a divorce without appeal between two heterogeneous philosophical horizons: an analytical horizon and another which would be continental. If it existed at a given moment in the history of contemporary philosophy, this so-called divide is no longer able to be taken seriously today, neither in our discourse nor in our institutions. It must be seriously discarded through constructive intercommunication and positive and reasonable exchange between the multiple expressions and components of human thought in its national and global cultural variations. Bringing together analytical philosophers and philosophers in general into dialogue, by uniting their respective contributions with the aim of shedding new light on the fate of philosophy in our Arab societies, embody the main objective of this volume.

This work collects the experiences as a ring doctor from several years of experience in Olympic and professional boxing matches.

Household membership of mutual health insurance schemes in sub-Saharan Africa, and particularly in the DRC, remains low. A large proportion of the population lives in extreme poverty and has no access to healthcare. The aim of this study is to analyze the factors (linked to the health mutual and to households) limiting household membership of the Kadutu MUSA, with a view to making recommendations that could help strengthen the mutualist system in DR Congo.

Since the 20th century, emotion has emerged as a crucial object of study, on a par with reason. Despite being omnipresent in relationships and interaction with the environment, in today's society there seems to be difficulty in recognizing and expressing emotions, known as alexithymia. Color, crucial in art and design, has been the subject of interest in its relationship with emotion. This study aims to analyze this relationship, using a sample of 248 UBI students, aged over 18 and of Portuguese nationality, to: (i) explore the relationship between colors and emotions; (ii) verify consistency with Plutchik's model; (iii) analyze differences between individuals with low and high alexithymia scores (TAS-20). From the results obtained, around 43.1% of the participants scored at the extremes of the TAS-20 (13.7% Low, 29.4% High). The majority correctly identified the colors, with the exception of Magenta (80.2% identified as Pink). No relationship emerged in this study between the colors and the emotions Anticipation, Anger and Sadness. Regardless of TAS-20 scores, the color-emotion association differs from Plutchik's model, suggesting the influence of sociocultural and learning factors.

The relevance of yoghurt to human health is of considerable value and one of the factors of choice, as it regulates digestive functions and its excellent source of amino acids contributes to muscle tissue repair and energy production, skin and bone healing, a natural antidepressant, muscle tissue repair, among others. However, it's important to point out that yoghurt is more digestive than milk, as its characteristic acidity stimulates digestive enzymes that facilitate gastric digestion.

Psychopedagogy is an area of knowledge in constant development in the country, with the new configuration of education on the national scene, as well as the current Brazilian socio-economic configuration, in which everyone is included in basic education, with no selection of individuals, in addition to the policy of inclusion, a new scenario that not all education professionals or educational institutions are yet prepared for, which perhaps explains the high rate of failure, dropout, drop in national educational indices, as well as a significant increase in the number of students with learning difficulties. Thus, we can see the need for a trained professional to guide and help educational institutions and education workers, including teachers, to formulate or even reformulate the teaching-learning process, thus improving educational indices and reducing the number of school dropouts and failures.

Cutaneous neoplasms are the most prevalent type of cancer in the world and are closely related to sun exposure as a risk factor for their development. Non-melanoma types (basal cell and squamous cell) are the most prevalent and melanoma, although less common, is a very aggressive neoplasm with a poor prognosis. The agricultural population, due to occupational photoexposure, and the light-skinned population, represent a group that is more prone to the genesis of this cancer. Rio Grande do Sul is the Brazilian state with the highest incidence of melanoma and cutaneous neoplasms, as well as having a significant proportion of people of European descent (fair skin), living in rural areas and working in agriculture. Knowledge of risk factors is of the utmost importance for their prevention and campaigns aimed at guiding and educating the population about these factors and their protection play an important social and epidemiological role in this context, as well as providing early diagnosis for the appropriate treatment of skin lesions.

This book is the result of research into the National High School Exam (ENEM) in Brazil. It was considered that this exam is part of the school game, as the agents in this field dispute social positions, subject to previously established rules, conditions and strategies. By understanding that the primary objective of exams is to exclude and that ENEM favours students from the privileged classes, we sought to unveil the mechanisms through which - with a technical appearance - the Exam is legitimised to carry out social selection. For this reason, this work reveals the mechanisms of the Brazilian school system and how the process of appropriating cultural capital, which is essential for good performance in the exam, takes place. It should be noted that although ENEM is yet another legitimising mechanism of social inequalities, some social policies linked to the exam have led to increased opportunities for access to higher education, which has also reinforced its legitimisation. Therefore, although this game - of which ENEM is a part - is not fair to the poorest class fractions, their students must devise the most pertinent strategies to overcome it that their objective conditions allow.

This work deals with the Umutina Territory, the challenges of sustainability and the experiences of young high school students from the Umutina Village. The Umutina territory has already been demarcated, the process was carried out on 24 April 1960 and registered in the Registry Office of the Municipality of Rosário D'Oeste-MT, with an area of 28,120 hectares. The Umutina Indigenous Land is rich and important, because it is through it that the people derive their livelihoods and establish their social and cultural relationships. The land is essential for keeping the Umutina people's culture alive. This work was carried out through bibliographical research, data collected through interviews with leaders and the participation of young people from the Jula Paré school who live in the community, workshops and photographs. It will help the younger generations, the community and the school to have access to traditional knowledge and know-how, valuing and protecting the territorial space and the search for alternatives within the community, and will serve as a record and document for future generations. It aims to strengthen Umutina culture and keep it alive so that young people can enjoy this heritage and it will serve as teaching material in indigenous schools.

Most people form their opinions through common sense, influenced by the information disseminated by the media, especially when it involves accidents. Normally, the news is broadcast emphasising only its negative aspects in a dramatic way, which greatly expands the space/time scope of the opposite impact of any event caused by anthropic action, i.e. not natural. This is the case with Nuclear Technology which, as a science and technology, suffers the consequences of the two atomic bombs dropped in 1945 on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the accidents involving radioactive material. To this day, the public has serious restrictions on its use because they are unaware of the benefits it brings to society and their opinion is formed by common sense. This work presents a presentation script, as a proposal for disseminating Nuclear Technology to any public, consisting of five stages: Initial Questionnaire; Excerpt from a Video of a report on the accident with a radiotherapy device; Elucidating Lecture; Final Activity and technical information for Interaction in the Nuclear Technology Space.

This book entitled "Performance of the local rice marketing chain in Benin" (Performance of the local rice marketing chain in Benin) is a scientific work that provides detailed knowledge of the performance of the marketing chain for locally produced rice in Benin. It analyses value added according to the different types of local rice marketing chains. The results showed that the lack of warehouses, the lack of means of transport, the high transport costs and above all the difficult access to the local rice marketing market, not forgetting to a lesser extent the lack of capital, are the constraints faced by commercial players. This book has shown that the lack of equity in certain links in the marketing chain means that not all players can take full advantage of local rice marketing. Therefore, to ensure the performance of the local rice marketing chain, and therefore a better distribution of profit margins among the various players in the local rice marketing chain in Benin, it is important to prefer this type of rice to imported rice.

The aim is to contextualize the legal framework created by the legislator to mitigate the effects of the financial crisis faced by federal entities in a Covid-19 pandemic situation. To this end, the general public procurement rules imposed on public managers and the new rules applied during the pandemic have been aligned. In this context, we move away from existing legislation to apply innovations from Law 13,979/2020, which provides for measures to deal with the public health emergency of international importance resulting from the coronavirus responsible for the 2019 outbreak and Complementary Law 173/2020, which establishes the Federative Program to Combat Coronavirus, and provides for financial aid to overcome the effects of the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, establishing some prohibitions on federal entities to contain public spending. The legislation applicable to the emergency situation allows the manager to acquire supplies and equipment necessary for health actions and services whose controlling bodies, upon verifying the occurrence of overpricing and/or overbilling, may penalize public managers, and exclusion for gross error is inapplicable.

Through its approach to classical drama, it offers practical teaching through lesson plans and a variety of teaching activities, as well as methods for checking knowledge and assessing learning. It enables the teacher to build up the learner's knowledge and evaluate it, and the learner to have an overview of the teaching received and to evaluate him or herself through practical exercises.

Internationalization in MSMEs is an inevitable process for growth, permanence and the achievement of the objectives set, i.e. if MSMEs for their growth and presence in the market require largely new customers, these are no longer in the local market since it seems to be saturated with domestic products and what about imported products as substitutes or replacements for them, then to grow they must do the same as foreign companies did many years ago that understood that customers grew if they sought them in foreign markets and if they grew, grew sales, revenues and of course companies and so they did or say China with more than 1.India with more than 1.3 billion inhabitants and they are everywhere, India with more than 1.3 billion and they went out to look for customers abroad and smaller countries like Iran, Pakistan or Peru and others that already have a marked presence in the world.

The use of communication signs on social networks is complex, both syntactically and semantically. It's undeniable that the French language is known for its complexity due to its grammatical rules. But for mutual understanding, web users have found a way to break these rules through the use of abbreviations, made-up words, codes or other forms of communication such as text exchanges, tweets and so on. This has given rise to a "young language". Talking about the nature and morphology of signs or communication exchanges is tantamount to talking about a source of linguistic enrichment through text exchanges on the one hand, and a departure from sustained language on the other. Should text messaging be tolerated or banned?In this paper, we will analyse a "Young Language" corpus in order to answer a number of questions, including the one posed above.

The University Radio Reporters Training Program is an extensionist action of the new Cuban university whose impact favors social communication processes in the municipalities, understood as the nucleus and support of local development, based on the identification of the educational potential of community radio and the relevance of innovation as a creative and resilient response to change and improvement.

This work is part of the research line Teaching Theories and Practices in Basic Education. Its objective is to study the Radio Web Project and the people who make it possible in the educational existence of a municipal school in Curitiba.

This study describes how this task can be solved when developing foreign markets using the possibilities of advertising and media.

The Digital Age is based on three basic inputs: energy, telecommunications and technology. The Digital Age is the result of technological evolution and the advent of investment in innovation, which is progressing at an accelerated rate every day. The reference source for this technological growth is directly related to investment in innovation, especially in the area of Information and Communication Technology. As a result, factors of production such as the internet, telematics and information technology provide convenience and economic development, and open up obvious opportunities such as e-commerce, electronic mail, social networks, among others. At the same time, it allows for the emergence of opportunism based on the insecurity of the digital environment and the lack of knowledge of information and communication technology users about the resources used. These issues have given rise to questions such as the relevance of assets that are not yet protected by criminal law and the effective ways of bringing the threat to legally protected assets to the attention of the competent court, by evidential means, in the midst of cybercrime.

Agricultural work is one of the most dangerous professions and several attributes lead to this observation, such as the various occupational risks associated with handling pesticides, acute and chronic poisoning, chronic illnesses, reproductive problems and even environmental damage. Surveying the medical records of this population makes it possible to identify their characteristics in order to subsidise interventions, facilitating patient care, promoting means of communication between health professionals and ensuring continuity of care and a sense of multi-professionalism, with the aim of contributing to advances in both the work process of health professionals and the evaluation process of basic health services.

The articles here reconstruct the trajectory of two important Brazilian solidarity networks set up to welcome and protect the thousands of South American exile-refugees who, fleeing national security dictatorships in their countries (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia), travelled through or stayed in Brazilian territory between 1976 and 1988. It focuses more specifically on the work of groups such as Clamor in São Paulo and Cáritas Arquidiocesana in Rio de Janeiro, highlighting the work of three great Brazilian Christian leaders, the Catholic Cardinals Dom Paulo Evaristo Arns and Dom Eugênio Sales, as well as the Presbyterian Reverend Jaime Wright, who, along with dozens of other lay collaborators, acted courageously in defence of human rights and in international denunciation of the crimes perpetrated by those regimes of exception.

Young Chadians living in urban areas are in favour of the least effort, personal initiative and the role of job creation. They are reluctant to take the initiative because of their wait-and-see attitude. Yet youth is not a period of life, it is a state of mind, an effect of the will, a quality of the imagination, an emotional intensity, a victory of courage over timidity, of the taste for adventure over the love of comfort.In the province of N'Djaména (Chad's political capital), young people are constantly deploying their strategies, often informally, by forming groups in micro-enterprises. This aroused our curiosity to understand the reasons that motivate these determined young entrepreneurs. In other words, are young people capable of initiating, planning and managing a business in order to contribute to sustainable development?The data collected during the focus group enables us to verify the issue of youth entrepreneurship in the provinces.

The aim of this book is to provide comprehensive knowledge of the entire broiler production chain. As well as describing activities related to technical assistance on poultry farms, it includes a biosecurity programme and presents all the procedures carried out on broiler flocks.

Faced with the need for qualified people to respond to market demand, competences have emerged as a way of establishing professional qualification systems to ensure that the qualification obtained by an individual is reflected in their capabilities and performance. To meet this demand, vocational training schools have transformed their curricula to work on the logic of developing competences, with the aim of guiding and facilitating promotion in employment. It is necessary to use teaching practices geared towards developing the competences of technical-vocational students, which is why the concept of learning situations is currently being approached as an effective methodology geared towards developing competences. However, the design of learning situations can be difficult when they are supposed to help students build the competences they need to perform their profession effectively and responsibly. This book presents the results of a qualitative study carried out at a vocational training institute in Mozambique, which looks at the strategies to be adopted in the classroom to promote the development of competences.
