Since the 1990s, when the events of the Euro-Soviet collapse precipitated and the economic crisis began in the country, the situation of the cooperative sector continues to reflect the complex agrarian situation. At the same time, the collectivization of state lands began, UBPCs were formed, there was a decrease in CPA type cooperatives and a growth of the private sector with a strengthening and deepening of cooperation in the CCS. At present, the situation of agricultural cooperatives is compromised at the national level, due to a significant loss of the state sector, in addition to the decrease in the number of existing cooperatives and an increase in the debts of each one of them. The situation at the provincial and municipal level is not far from this reality, so that in view of this situation it is necessary to search for alternatives in the economic spheres that condition and accelerate its solution, and therefore a reorganization of the cooperative model is proposed, through alternatives such as increasing the system outside the agricultural sector.

In the present research, the authors have undertaken the task of investigating the following scientific problem: how to favor the solution of simple problems in preschool children of the "Granma" children's circle in the municipality of Bartolomé Masó Márquez? Its main objective is to design a system of simple problems from the Children's Literature and the Audiovisual Program that favors the solution of problems in the educational process of the Elementary Notions of Mathematics of the children of the sixth year of life of the "Granma" children's circle of the Bartolomé Masó Márquez municipality. For the development of the research, inductive-deductive, analytical-synthetic, systemic-structural-functional, observation, interview, documentary analysis, pre-experiment and descriptive statistical methods were used as fundamental scientific methods. With the application of the system of simple problems, the children were able to develop intellectual and practical skills in the solution of problems in the educational process of the Elementary Notions of Mathematics and in daily life from the assimilation of the essential procedures.

The Unified Health System (SUS) is a training ground for human resources. Teaching and learning must therefore be the subject of good management practices, with a view to effectively bringing together two major forces: health services and the teaching/research/extension tripod. Faced with the need to standardize the process of placing psychology students in a tertiary hospital in the state of Ceará, this book presents Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) that designate the stages of the process, from the request by the Higher Education Institution (HEI) to the end of the internships. This is a product of the specialization course in Education and Health for SUS preceptors, made possible by the Ministry of Health (SUS Institutional Development Program - PROADI SUS), developed by the Sírio Libanês Hospital and carried out in Ceará by the state School of Public Health. This interdisciplinary postgraduate course, based on active methodologies, provided the opportunity for this application project, drawn up by eight professionals from different areas who worked together on this problem-issue, integrating the knowledge, experiences and methodologies worked on during the course.

The arrival of African students in the municipality of São Francisco do Conde-BA (Brazil) between 2014-2016 generated looks of surprise, curiosity and a lot of strangeness in the city. The aim here is to reflect on how this strangeness has interfered in the lives of these students, their coexistence, the body of African women in the city and the strangeness that exists among Africans themselves, because, as we know, the continent is not unitary and there are many aspects in common in social and cultural terms, but also important differences and peculiarities. The book was designed for the entire African diaspora and beyond, to show Africans and non-Africans how this estrangement has negatively affected African students in São Francisco do Conde and around the world, because the estrangement that Africans suffer is no different from the context in which they find themselves in the diaspora.

Waste oil purification is an essential process for preserving the environment and optimizing the use of resources.

Innovative technologies and effective treatment methods have been developed to recover and purify these used oils, enabling them to be reused.Waste oil purification techniques include filtration, centrifugation, distillation, sulfuric acid treatment, washing with hot distilled water and clay decolorization/deodorization. Each of these methods is designed to remove contaminants and restore oil quality, while minimizing environmental impact.

The training process for specialists in General Comprehensive Medicine (MGI) includes aspects related to adolescent pregnancy in their curriculum. In spite of the above, it has been shown that the knowledge they receive in this module is not sufficient for this professional to have a greater impact on community education and to achieve adequate modes of action for the family and the adolescent herself; furthermore, there are incongruities between the theoretical elements of the study curriculum and the practical reality faced in the field. The above leads us to the elaboration of a methodological alternative containing motivating, suggestive and flexible actions that favor the preparation of specialists and thus reduce teenage pregnancy, an aspect with a significant social connotation.

This book is based on the final work of the Training in Social Education in Uruguay. It is configured as an analysis of the socio-educational experience within a Shelter Center for children and adolescents who, for different reasons, are suspended from parental care. It intends to be an input to think and rethink socio-educational practices that sometimes tend to be totalizing for the subjects of education and thus bring readers closer to a Latin American reality of the most neglected.Through the voice of the children, adolescents, educators and educators who develop practices there, stories about the Integral Protection System in Uruguay are collected, transversalized by practices, feelings and thoughts about free time in an institution of these characteristics.

Freedom being a principle and detention an exception, this paradigm has enabled us to underpin our reflection on the global nature of detention in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and more specifically, at ANR Lubumbashi. Indeed, it is with bitterness that we note that Congolese and foreign citizens, despite committing anti-social acts, are deprived of their rights of defence as provided for by articles 18 and 19 of the DRC constitution, amended by Law N°11/002 of January 20, 2011 revising certain articles of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Congo of February 18, 2006, even though the pre-jurisdictional investigation remains secret. The Agence National de Renseignement does not give detainees' counsel or family members any opportunity to find out what the detainees are accused of, and it turns out that the conditions under which the suspects are being held do not meet any of the criteria laid down in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Paragraph 1 of Article 16 of the Constitution of the Democratic Republic of Congo, as revised to date, stipulates that: "The human person is sacred...

This monographic study is the result of reflections on my professional life as an Early Childhood Education teacher at Curitiba City Hall, and a student on the Visual Arts degree course at UNESPAR - Campus Curitiba II - FAP, especially after I got to know Anne Marie Holm's books and began to question the art education practices developed in Early Childhood Education in this context. The work aims to answer the following question: can aesthetic experience, the notion of nature and environmental preservation, be promoted with children aged three to four in public kindergarten based on the proposals of Danish author Anna Marie Holm? Furthermore, once this experience has been shared with the CMEI team, can it motivate investigative practices on the part of the teachers of the other classes?

Paul Ricoeur and Emmanuel Levinas are two twentieth-century philosophers who have made significant contributions to philosophical thought, although their approaches differ in many respects. Reading the works of Paul Ricoeur and Emmanuel Levinas can be an enriching experience, but it can also present challenges due to the complexity of their philosophical ideas.By examining the richness of their ideas, we not only highlight the depth of their philosophical heritage, but above all we hope to provide a key to reading for students in general, and African students in particular, who are increasingly passionate about and even enamored, in the positive sense of the word, of these two authors. Whether we like it or not, these two thinkers have influenced contemporary understanding of the human condition.

The Metabolic Syndrome is defined as a set of interconnected alterations, among which obesity, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, arterial hypertension, a pro-thrombotic and pro-inflammatory state are of special relevance. Its importance lies in the fact that it is associated as a multiple risk factor for developing cardiovascular diseases and chronic kidney disease. In addition, the World Health Organization reveals that non-communicable diseases such as myocardial infarction, renal failure, neuropathies and dyslipidemias are the first cause of death worldwide.An experimental study was carried out at the Biomedical Experimental Research Unit and the Experimental Toxicology Unit, of the University of Medical Sciences of Villa Clara, in the period from September 2019 to May 2023. It was framed in the determination of the enzymatic activity of superoxide dismutase and catalase in erythrocytes of Wistar rats submitted to a hyperglycemic diet (sucrose) from weaning to adulthood, thus establishing a biomodel of Metabolic Syndrome.

The increasingly specialized and competitive labor field demands more qualified and trained professionals from the moment they graduate from their study centers and begin their performance in their disciplinary areas.Universities offer professors who are specialists in their subjects, who transmit and develop different academic competencies in their students, which will reach their full potential in the development of their profession.Nowadays the industry has the need to hire professionals capable of developing everything that is marked in a professional profile within an organization manual, including: social, academic, cultural, mathematical, and decision making skills, among others.

Entrepreneurship covers the activities that contribute to the formation and growth of a company, the primary consequence of which is the creation of value. Forms of entrepreneurship vary according to the type of organization in place. Many "high-potential" start-ups call on venture capitalists or business angels to develop their activity. Many structures exist today to advise potential entrepreneurs, such as business start-up consultancies, government agencies, incubators and non-governmental organizations. Another definition of entrepreneurship describes the process of discovering, evaluating and exploiting opportunities. Thus, an entrepreneur is defined as "someone who acts not on the basis of the resources he or she currently controls, but who tirelessly pursues an opportunity to create a company or enterprise".

The text on human communication disorders addresses various conditions and disorders that can affect people's ability to communicate effectively. These disorders can be both physical and psychological in origin, and cover a wide range of conditions, such as aphasia, dysphonia, stuttering, autism, and language disorders, among others. These disorders can manifest themselves in difficulties in speaking, understanding language, reading, writing or using language in a socially appropriate manner. Understanding these disturbances is fundamental for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment, as well as for the design of intervention strategies that promote inclusion and quality of life for those affected. The author makes an analysis from the levels of language and their respective stages. The book is aimed at university students and professionals of human communication and learning pathology.

Is the quality of our sustainable products derived from agriculture recognized and valued by British consumers? Will it be possible to continue exporting Spanish organic products after Brexit without obstacles? With this research, we seek to improve scientific knowledge on how British consumers perceive and value sustainable products from the Spanish agricultural sector, as well as possible barriers that may be encountered, providing useful and valuable information for Spanish agricultural companies. In line with this, the results obtained can be used to improve or adapt the design of marketing and communication strategies in this market, which is in continuous growth and dynamism.

Based on the fact that Preeclampsia is associated with a decrease in uteroplacental flow, uterine artery Doppler ultrasound techniques (DAUt) have been described as one of the most exciting and promising advances in the study of pregnancies with hypertension. A descriptive, prospective and longitudinal cut study was conducted at the General Teaching Hospital "Iván Portuondo", San Antonio de los Baños, Artemisa province, in the period from July 2015 to December 2017 to determine the presence of Preeclampsia in patients with pathological DAUt. The universe consisted of 205 patients who presented pathological UAD between 22 and 24 weeks and the sample consisted of 183 patients who met the inclusion criteria.

ABOUT THE WORK: Throughout its chapters, this book analyses the legal institute of affirmative action in the Brazilian and American contexts, with the aim of ascertaining whether this policy is capable of fulfilling its intended purpose, namely: the promotion of distributive justice and racial diversity in the most different sectors of society. To this end, the first section presents the emergence of this policy, its historical background and its consolidation in the United States of America. It then shows how this policy was adopted in Brazil's legal and social reality and its consequent developments. As a guiding thread for the research, the works "Equal Treatment and Compensatory Discrimination" by Thomas Nagel and "Affirmative Action and the Constitutional Principle of Equality" by Joaquim Barbosa Gomes are used, as well as several US legal decisions, mainly "Regents of University of California vs. Bakke" (1978) and some Brazilian legislation, with due attention to the "Racial Equality Statute" of 2010 and the "Quotas Law" of 2012.

Acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) is a malignant disorder characterized by uncontrolled clonal growth and proliferation of immature lymphoid cells of B or T lineage. These leukemic cells invade the bone marrow and spread to the peripheral blood, spleen, lymph nodes and other tissues and become clinically detectable. The origin of this disease is still unknown, however, it is associated with genetic and environmental factors such as exposure to ionizing radiation, chemical agents and alkylating agents. It is the most frequent malignant disease in childhood (80% of all leukemias in children) with an annual incidence of 2-3 cases per 100,000 children.hepatotoxicity is a frequent cause of treatment discontinuation in the maintenance phase of acute lymphoid leukemia. This discontinuation of treatment increases the possibility of hematologic relapse by up to 10%.

The book focuses its reflection on the discussion of the processes of citizenship formation in young university students, and particularly on the processes of political participation of university students at the Universidad Autónoma de Manizales, Colombia. One of the aspects that have been pointed out to young people is their disaffection towards politics, manifested in higher electoral abstention rates than adults, a lower affiliation to traditional political parties and their low levels of party identification. In this sense, the issue of youth participation can be considered as a negative topic, which invited the researchers to ask ourselves: How do young people participate today, in order to seek answers not only of a political nature, but also formative, to promote processes of formation of competent and critical citizens in the political world that today takes place not only in Colombia, but throughout the world.

It's not without reason that reason is called the driving force of social progress in the present text. It is now a fact that intelligence arises in man on the same day as life. Despite its subordination to life, it improves over time. Reason is motivated by elements such as analysis of the problem and solution to the problem; reflection on the solution given to the problem and action, i.e. the materialization of the solution, provided that the scourge cannot increase the damage after the action has been implemented. Ration is a tree, the foundation of the history of the universe; humanity is a bird resting on the tree (humanity rests on the history founded on reason); and nature is the being immersing the ground on which the tree grows.

"Water stress in the rice crop, its impact on productivity" carried out in dry season of 2016, located in the Junta de Usuarios América-Lomas del cantón Daule province of Guayas, Ecuador. It is important to highlight, that in this research work there were savings of 75% in seed in relation to the farmer (TA); the general average of seed use in the country is 45 kg/ha, for this planting system there is a saving of 64.51%, likewise in the management of irrigation water use there is also a saving of 39.5% (research 726.4 m3 vs producer 1016 m3) with respect to the producer. When planted at a distance of 0.35 x 0.35 m, with two plants per site corresponding to the research (T2) compared with the TA planted at a distance of 0.25 x 0.25 m, and eight plants per site, there is a numerical difference, in which the T2 exceeds the TA by approximately 19%. The T2 treatment (research), had a profitability of 97% on production costs and 49% in sales income in relation to the control (TA) which obtained a profitability of 45% on production costs and 31% in sales income.

The 2008 Constitution of Ecuador, which includes fundamental changes in the recognition of rights and their protection system, grants power to the Constitutional Court to organize the strengthening of constitutional justice and the process of constitutionalization of the legal, political and social system of the country, deducing that constitutional justice is an effective and suitable tool to realize the requirements of the constitutional text. In this sense, the non-compliance action, considered a jurisdictional guarantee, is filed before the Constitutional Court, when a sentence in constitutional matters has not been executed or has a defective execution, that is to say, the constitutional rights in addition to being carried out, by the other jurisdictional guarantees, there is the guarantee of non-compliance action, which is capable of achieving the execution of the unfulfilled sentences in the rest of jurisdictional guarantees, using it as a final tool, to avoid outrages and favor the victims with the principle of integral reparation, which diminishes the damage caused.

The idea for this essay on pedagogical animation in school education did not originate today. In fact, it has been in the back of our minds for the last ten years or so, and has gradually emerged in our investigations into measurement, evaluation and quality in education and training. The structuring aim of this work is to analyze the impact of the pedagogical animation of the class-group on the educational act in terms of teaching-learning practices in the qualifying secondary education cycle. To do so, we mobilized an action-research approach, both descriptive and comprehensive, to study the case of a secondary school in Morocco, using qualitative and quantitative measurement tools addressed to teachers (Questionnaire) and students (Interviews). The results of this work demonstrate that the implementation of democratic pedagogical animation and the exploitation of group work can effectively improve multiple dimensions of the teaching-learning act, such as communication skills, motivation, the quality of the pedagogical link and learning.

The creative ability is an increasingly valued skill, not only at school, but also socially and at work. The theory of Multiple Intelligences contemplates the mind in a pluralistic way and recognizes different cognitive potentials. In order to achieve creative minds for the future, it seems essential to incorporate them in the contemporary school and to translate them into teaching models. This research tries to analyze if there is a relationship between the levels of creativity and Linguistic Intelligence in 5th grade high school students of public schools in the Northwest of Chubut.

This book work makes reference in the first chapter, about the first electric company in Ecuador, how it originated and what they used to generate energy at that time.

Finally, it explains the work that was done for the sustentation of this book.

The N'Zérékoré region has 6 health districts with a total population of 1,696,807 in 2015 [1]. HIV prevalence is 1.6% in Guinea, with 120,000 people including 65,000 women [2]. In Guinea during the Ebola virus disease epidemic, the N'Zérékoré region was the most affected, leading to dysfunctional health services. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of the Ebola epidemic on HIV PMTCT. It covered a 4-year period and focused on HIV-positive pregnant women and their children in 19 health centers. We found a prevalence rate of 0.88% and an acceptance rate of 44.03%. Housewives accounted for 64%. The ARV treatment completion rate fell from 54.95% to 23.23%. The number of patients lost to follow-up increased during the Ebola epidemic. However, the rate of assisted deliveries fell from 94.87% to 69.17% p = 8.126e-06. Similarly, the number of children protected fell from 50.55% to 16.67%. HIV PMTCT has been negatively impacted, as evidenced by a drop in the number of assisted deliveries, an increase in the number of lost to follow-up, break-ups, etc., and a decrease in the number of children protected.

In French language didactics, reading is considered one of the major skills to be acquired by learners. The reading course aims to develop learners' reading strategies and to make them able to establish a written communication from a text. However, experience shows that most of the time the teaching of reading in foreign mango in Iran is put in the service of other skills and it does not provide learners with the necessary tools to better explore the text. This research on reading and reading comprehension in EFL studies the explicit teaching of reading strategies among Iranian students/learners in academic and institutional settings. Our research shows that explicit teaching of reading strategies can help Iranian EFL learners overcome their comprehension difficulties and guide them towards independence. It should be noted that in such teaching, the teacher plays a significant role.

The process of globalization taking place in the world puts the issues related to national diversity, national minorities, diasporas in the social and spiritual life of the countries of the world among the topical issues on the agenda. The large scale of migration processes currently taking place all over the world brings to the center of attention the problems associated with small groups of national minorities in different countries. These problems, manifested to varying degrees in different regions of the world, give rise to certain confessional, ethnic, racial, territorial and other types of contradictions, tensions and clashes. In this regard, the High Commissioner on National Minorities (HCNM) at the United Nations has been working to identify, prevent and resolve these problems.This monograph reveals the history of the formation of the multi-ethnic composition of the population of the Turkestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in the early years of the establishment of Soviet power.
