This book seeks to systematize and weigh the different arguments, theoretical-architectural approaches, methodological contributions and proposals for foundation and practical application, both of the Ethics of Discourse in its Apelian version, and of the Ethics of Liberation in its Dusselian version. The above is aimed at being able to evaluate the possibility or not of a potential synthesis and mutual enrichment of both theories, and pursues the goal of determining the capacity of both proposals to found intersubjectively binding rational moral norms and their respective possibilities of historical-political application. .

The Brazilian model of constitutionality control is based on mixed jurisdictional control, with different rules governing the subjective extent of its declaratory decisions of unconstitutionality, since in abstract or concentrated control its decision alone will have binding and erga omnes effectiveness. In concrete or diffuse control, as the main issue is whether or not a certain subjective right of the party exists, the declaration of unconstitutionality of the normative act will not apply to anyone other than the partial subjects of the process, unless under the terms of art. 52, X, of the Federal Constitution, the Federal Senate orders the suspension of the execution of the law declared unconstitutional. The theory of the abstraction or objectification of the concrete or diffuse control of constitutionality proposes that the effects of the decision of unconstitutionality handed down in the concrete or diffuse control by the STF should be equal to those of the decision handed down in the abstract control, based on a different interpretation of item X of article 52 of the Constitution, resulting from a constitutional change. However, in view of the current legal-constitutional order, such equalisation of effects is invalid.

This project has two main objectives. The first is to inventory the eco-geotourism potential of the Tantan, Tarfaya and Lâayoune region (south-west Morocco). This involves identifying and highlighting the region's geomorphological and ecological tourism potential.The second was to evaluate and classify the main sites in our study area as geomorphosites. These are the Khnifiss lagoon, the Tah sebkha, the Lghord Lahmer Megabarkhanes, the Sand River and the Graras.The results obtained showed scores above 0.5 according to the systematic evaluation method based on bibliographic research and field observations. This enables them to be classified as geomorphosites.

This research was carried out with 5th grade elementary school students from a municipal public school in the city of Rio Verde-GO and its objective was to evaluate, through a script of contextualized activities involving Mathematics, the development of Environmental Education, verifying the contributions of these activities to the formation of the ecological subject of a 5th grade elementary school student, in order to answer what contributions contextualized Mathematics activities interconnected with Environmental Education lead 5th grade elementary school students to form themselves as ecological subjects. The research consisted of the construction of 7 contextualized activities, based on the theories of Leff (2002, 2006, 2010), Carlos Loureiro (2012), Isabel Carvalho (2012) and Freire (1987, 1996, 1999, 2000), so that we could answer our research question, as well as other research cited in the body of the research, which were also relevant. The activities were carried out during after-school hours from September to December 2015, where the students carried out the activities and then socialized them.

Diagnosis of a primary malignant bone tumour is based on clinical and radiological findings, with biopsy providing a definitive diagnosis. The two main malignant bone tumors are osteosarcoma in children and chondrosarcoma in adults. Radiographic signs may immediately be highly suggestive of malignancy. MRI is the second-line examination for assessing locoregional extension within the bone and adjacent soft tissues, detecting skip metastases and determining the most appropriate area for biopsy. Because of its radiation-intense nature, CT scans are increasingly being replaced by MRI.This pedagogical and didactic book provides a radiological description of the various malignant tumors, richly illustrated with numerous demonstrative diagrams. The book is intended for radiology interns and practicing physicians.

The history of the development of professional competence of university teachers, the psychological and pedagogical foundations of modular learning, the experience of work on this problem in foreign pedagogy is analysed in psychological and pedagogical terms. Pedagogical activity for the first time is considered not as a service, but as the production of new psycho-physiological goods, which is the basis of well-being, peace, production of other goods. Also in this respect the categories of B. Bloom's categories are critically analysed and an attempt is made to introduce between the categories of "Knowledge" and "Understanding" the category of "Representation". The role of professional attitude in professional formation is considered, and a methodology for diagnosing the state of freshmen's readiness for academic work in the modular organisation of training is created. The monograph is made on the basis of system approach, also the system methodology of diagnostics of professional competence of university teachers to modular training and determination of students' attitude to it is created and realised. It is appointed for researchers postgraduates, doctoral students and managers of the educational system. Reviewers: Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Abdullaev Y.N., Makhmudova M.M.

In short, this book serves as a comprehensive guide for those seeking to discover the world of dyeing lichens.

This book brings together the basic aspects that are used when designing a bioethics course, and which are developed indistinctly in face-to-face or remote teaching. It is essential that future health professionals have a holistic education based on both biological sciences and humanistic sciences. One of these is bioethics, a discipline that emerged as a priority need in the 1970s, since professionals are required to provide humanized and sensitive care and attention to the pain and suffering of those who will become the focus of their attention, i.e. the healthy or sick people they care for.

This work presents an analysis of the coupling coefficient (C), observing the behavior of the fiber with three waveguides with a triangular arrangement, based on Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF). The numerical study was based on solving the pair of equations for coupled modes using the Runge-Kutta numerical method. Initially, the propagation properties of ultrashort pulses with a temporal width of 100 femtoseconds (fs) of light in the form of fundamental solitons were investigated. Studies are also carried out measuring the critical power, observing the power variation during transmission and thus discovering the critical points.

We wanted to publish this text, with several topics that we investigated during the COVID 19 pandemic, many of us lost loved ones in it. But what could not be missing was the negligence of the federal and health authorities, regarding the pandemic. A bad practice of the health system that could not cope in our country, as well as the lack of health personnel to be able to solve these issues. The lack of research for the creation of our country's own vaccine. The bad strategies during and after vaccination against COVID 19, making elderly people queue for miles. The constant violation of human rights, to enter to establishments.The bad jokes of our leaders in the face of the pain of the population.The business of COVID 19 tests and the lack of ethics in this problem.Topics such as abortion and its legalization touched on by the federal government in the midst of the mortality of COVID 19 .The hoarding of vaccines by richer countries and thanks to this OMICRON appears. Among other topics, these columns were published in the Semanario Conciencia Pública during 2021 to 2023, thanks to the editor in chief Gabriel Ibarra.

Under the aforementioned Bill, Satisfactory or Precautionary Interlocutory Relief is granted in situations that require urgent treatment, i.e. where time can also become an adversary for the party. Finally, the Evidence Order, the novelty when it comes to measures capable of speeding up the provision of justice. This will be based not on urgent situations, but on situations in which the applicant's right is evident. In this way, Urgent and Evidentiary Powers of Attorney are materialised in the search for faster and more effective judicial provision, in line with constitutional and social dictates, bringing justice closer to contemporary reality.

Situated in the Human Sciences and, more specifically, in the field of Philosophy of Language, this monograph is an analysis of the work Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds) by Hayao Miyazaki, in its two concrete enunciations, comics and animated cinema, according to the theoretical presuppositions of the Bakhtin Circle. The need to understand Hayao Miyazaki's message through Nausicaa, from the perspective of the Bakhtin Circle, formed the justification that drove the task of developing this work. The general aim of the research is to interpret the scene "the encounter with the fox-squirrel" from the work Kaze no Tani no Nausicaa (Nausicaa of the Valley of the Winds), in the comic book and film adaptation, from the theoretical assumptions of the Bakhtin Circle.

In modern obstetric practice, one of the most significant and urgent tasks is to ensure the safety of mother and child when a pregnant woman has severe forms of preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a condition characterized by increased blood pressure and protein in the urine after 20 weeks of pregnancy, which can progress to a severe form, threatening the health and life of both mother and fetus. A feature of severe preeclampsia is the rapid development and progression of symptoms, which requires immediate and adequate medical interventions. The problem of severe preeclampsia has not lost its relevance for many years, since the frequency of this pregnancy complication remains quite high throughout the world, and the outcomes for mother and child can be extremely unfavorable. In this regard, the issues of choosing the optimal management tactics for pregnant women with severe preeclampsia, including the decision on the method of delivery, remain the subject of numerous studies. The monograph presents a review of modern literature on this issue and the results of the author's own research.

Uterine fibroids are among the most common benign tumors of the genital organs in women. As a result of gynecological diseases, uterine fibroids rank second after inflammatory processes. One of the most common gynecological diseases, which either in itself or as a result of surgical treatment, can lead to disruption and often loss of reproductive function, is uterine fibroids. Its frequency ranges from 20 to 50%. As a result of gynecological morbidity, the proportion of uterine fibroids after 35 years is 35-45%. In the surgical treatment of fibroids, two main types of surgical interventions have been performed - hysterectomy (H) and myomectomy (ME). The most common operation for fibroids.

My work aims to reflect on contemporary politics through a fictional dialogue between philosophers and, from there, to construct a critical idea about the different approaches and contexts in which thought is rooted. The dialogue seeks, in the first place, to stage Richard Rorty's political-pragmatic view. Secondly, Enrique Dussel's political perspective of liberation, and then bring to the same stage Ernesto Laclau's sociological and philosophical vision with the intention of generating a projective vision of the politics of the third millennium. With this, I pursue a broader understanding of what it implies to think contemporary democratic politics from Latin America.

In 2020, 6922 cases of tuberculosis were notified in Mali. Despite efforts tuberculosis remains a public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa Objective to evaluate tuberculosis management in Koro according to national guidelines in Mali.Materials and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study of tuberculosis management in 2019,2020 and 2021.

Since her birth in the 1940s, the myth of "Evita" has exerted a strong influence on the popular, political and social imagination in Argentina. A controversial figure, she has aroused repulsion and equally visceral support. In this vein, the intellectual, literary and film fields have not been indifferent to everything that this myth represents. The following pages attempt to outline some brief reflections on this phenomenon.

Pandora's Box is a Greek myth in which the gods placed all the world's misfortunes, such as war, discord and diseases of the body and soul, in a box. However, at the bottom of the box there was also a single gift: hope. The purpose of this work was to draw an analogy between this myth and TV. We will therefore discuss social merchandising in Brazilian soap operas, analysing it as a social communication strategy. To do this, it was necessary to learn a little about the history of Brazilian television and, crucially, to study its "discourse" and the possible effects on the behaviour of viewers of this powerful means of mass communication in its most profitable product: the telenovela. This is a journey through the universe of television, the effects and involvement of its plots in the routine of Brazilian viewers.

The trade in native orchids has been based on extractivism, which, together with the destruction of their natural habitats and the advance of agriculture, has led to the extinction or near extinction of many species. Germplasm banks are important tools and the simplest way of conserving and maintaining genetic material. Cryopreservation is a conservation process in which biological material is subjected to ultra-low temperatures using liquid nitrogen (-196°C). However, in order for structures to be recovered after cryopreservation, it is necessary to add cryoprotective substances. The aim of this study was to develop protocols for the cryopreservation of Brazilian orchid seeds and pollen. The successful cryopreservation of orchid seeds, pollinia and their tissues in liquid nitrogen requires the use of cryoprotectants. The best treatments are based on a combination of extra- and intracellular cryoprotectants.

In this new book, Theory and Philosophy of Contemporary Law, Flávio Quinaud Pedron carries out a highly critical reflection on the study of three relevant theorists who discuss, from a linguistic, political and legal perspective, the conditions of possibility for the legitimacy of contemporary law: Ronald Dworkin with the Theory of Law as Integrity (Part I), Jürgen Habermas with the Discursive Theory of Law and Democracy (Part II), Klaus Günther and the Sense of Adequacy (Part III).

Environmental planning in the recovery of areas degraded by mining is extremely important for the restoration of ecosystems altered by the advance of mining operations with or without dredging. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility and analyze the behavior of bio-mesh made from banana leaves (Musa spp.), an organic resource that is abundant in the region, replacing the use of geosynthetics and associating bioengineering techniques with seeding.

The purpose of this research was to analyze the practice of teaching from the perspective of Inclusive Education, based on teachers who work in a public school located in São Cristóvão/SE.

This book is an inter-institutional and interdisciplinary study involving the State University of Feira de Santana (UEFS) through the Graduate Program in Collective Health (PPGSC) and the Interdisciplinary Center for Studies on Health Inequalities (NUDES) in partnership with the Bahia State Public Security Secretariat (SSP-BA), which presents the contributions of Disque Denúncia based on the characterization of criminal complaints in the Metropolitan Region of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil and a study on the association between intentional homicide, drug trafficking and social indicators in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. In this sense, it is hoped to give visibility to the Disque Denúncia program as a tool in the criminal analysis process for managers, technicians and public security agents, as well as to show this service as a social tool for tackling issues linked to violence, crime and other related aspects.

Coastal zones are among the main environments for socio-economic and environmental development across the globe. However, the various uses established in these areas have caused damage to traditional communities. It is necessary to understand the dynamics of these populations, with a focus on diagnosing environmental education in the local sphere, thus making it possible to reconcile the positive and negative factors involved. The community of Canoa Quebrada has a high tourist potential and unique scenic beauty in the state of Ceará, but this community has shared its space with the disorderly exploitation generated by anthropic impacts, making it necessary for the responsible government entities, the community, the economic sectors, scientific academia and others to work together. In the end, we will be able to achieve the sustainability that is so sought after today.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the contribution of the Fusen game as a pedagogical resource for the inclusion of students with severe physical disabilities in Physical Education classes. Created in Japan, the game of Fusen is a cooperative play activity that was developed to include people with disabilities, especially the most severe cases of physical disability. The study also seeks to examine the challenges faced by Physical Education teachers in including students with disabilities. The theoretical framework traverses the paths of Special Education and Physical Education, revealing possible encounters and tensions throughout history, as well as the relationship between students with severe physical disabilities and the area of Physical Education. As a path of practice, vehemently requested by the content of school Physical Education, we observed the phenomenon of play and the possibilities of linking it to inclusive processes through play and cooperative games. We found that Fusen is a proposal that enables some cooperative and different moments in Physical Education classes.

Materials science investigates the properties of materials, and their application depends on the type of material to be used and its properties. In the field of health, biomaterials stand out, as they can have a variety of functions, ranging from aesthetic to structural. A biomaterial must meet certain requirements, for which a prior study is needed to determine whether the material is useful for the application, for example, the material must not be toxic or mutagenic. The demand for materials applied in the medical field is high, so it is necessary to advance research in order to improve human life
