Sociometry was developed by Jacobo Levy Moreno, who thought of it as a way of systematizing and objectifying the study of what he called microsociology, which covered the study of the subject within the group, the group as a living and dynamic entity, and the institution or community as a container of different types of groups. This book is made up of two parts; the first refers to the historical, epistemological, methodological and technical foundations of the sociometric method, while the second presents different research protocols in which sociometry has been applied; from the form for the study of communities and collectivities, sociometry in educational contexts, the way to study high-performance groups, sociometry of family groups, among others.

The future of artificial intelligence is a very interesting and complex topic, which generates many expectations, opportunities and challenges. AI applied to different sectors and problems, such as health, industry, education, security, environment or scientific research.

Improve the quality of products and services by analyzing large amounts of data and detecting patterns and problems that might go unnoticed by humans. Customize offerings and adapt to individual customer needs by using customer data to create tailored solutions.

Equine babesiosis is one of the main parasitic diseases of horses and causes great damage to animal health, so detecting it as soon as possible makes treatment more successful. The aim of this book was to apply the real-time PCR technique (Q-PCR) to quantify equine Babesiosis using primers specific to the Babesia equi haemoparasite. The method used was the extraction of blood DNA from horses followed by amplification with specific primers for Babesia equi parasites. Two types of test were carried out: nested-PCR and Q-PCR to identify and quantify the parasite. Seven horses of the breed were analysed, three of which showed high levels of the parasite, although they had no clinical symptoms of the disease at the time of collection, but fell ill months later. This study opens up the prospect of using the Q-PCR technique to diagnose this equine pathology.

Geometry has two great treasures: one is the theorem of Pythagoras; the other is the division of a line into an extreme and an average proportion. We may compare the first to a measure of gold; the second we may call a precious jewel. Jonannes Kepler (1596)The Pythagorean theorem, as Kepler (1596) says, is one of the greatest treasures of Geometry, it states that "in every right triangle the measure of the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the measures of the squares of the legs". Anyone who has attended high school has been in contact with this theorem, whether they remember it or not. The general objective of this work is to analyze the proofs and demonstrations of the Pythagorean Theorem throughout the History of Mathematics, with the purpose of creating didactic sequences for its teaching at the Middle Level.

Motivating learning, teaching, is not an easy task for the teacher, even more so in this time, where technology, communication, social networks, seem to invade digital and physical spaces, it is necessary to reflect on the social function of education, specifically, in its methods and didactics, it is no longer enough to relate knowledge, it is necessary to add a new component to the complex task of educating, it is imperative to transcend to levels of conceptual construction, where students, teachers and the community in general, articulate efforts to find answers to the problems of their environment. The research work, Problem Based Learning and Virtual Learning Environments, represents an alternative look at the new ways of building knowledge inside and outside the classroom, which are inclined to the use and appropriation of technology, energized, extrapolated, with didactic strategies that link knowledge, articulate it, in an effort to solve problems, which our students, our citizens, our world constantly face.

Mexico hides numerous treasures of great architectural and artistic value that have survived time to tell us a story. The men and women who have inhabited it have been able to imagine the future by creating artistic works that transcend and occupy their own space in the universal heritage, thus awakening the admiration of the whole world. The journey presented in these pages runs parallel to the trajectory of those individuals dedicated body and soul to express themselves through art in any of its disciplines. It is for this reason that this research arises to establish a permanent dialogue between the history of Mexico, its social, political and cultural changes, and between the artists themselves and the works; also between Mexican art and the art generated by foreign hands that adopted the country as their own. And above all, to document the creativity, the talent and the Mexican plastic production of yesterday and today.

It is a research project with the purpose of knowing the reality of the environment and create a micro enterprise to generate employment in the rural area in which there are no companies that provide services to the civil society. It is a necessity since there is raw material and to elaborate the final product for national export; the present project will find the budget, investment, profitability and the final result.

Wine is a beverage derived from the alcoholic fermentation of must or fruit juice, which is produced by the metabolic reaction of its components due to a series of chemical reactions. It has different uses, whether to be enjoyed as a beverage, in celebrations or even in religious rituals. According to data issued in 2017 by the International Wine Organization (OIV), it is estimated that worldwide there is a production of 246,700 Hectoliters. There are different types of wines, whether red, white or rosé, dry or sweet, depending on their sugar level, which are made by the fermentation of fruits. Currently in the national and international markets, competitiveness is stronger and, therefore, the main objective is to create a differentiated product with an added value that allows and helps the country to be more productive in the agroindustrial sector. It is for this reason that this study was carried out, which allows the implementation of new production techniques to obtain a product with a pleasant taste and excellent benefits, taking this opportunity as a business and innovative alternative.

This curricular unit Integral Human Development for Life has its genesis in the framework of the Robinsonian Master's program for teachers of 21 centers throughout the country at the National Experimental University "Simon Rodriguez", in Venezuela. The text presents a proposal based on the principles of knowing, knowing-being, knowing-how to do, knowing how to live together and knowing how to transcend towards the Total Being. The work includes at the end, theoretical-practical exercises that help to restructure and sow excellence and better quality of life, identifying the behavior of change through the indicator of achievement: realizing, in order to take charge of, and the criteria of: desire to change, respect for others, educating for life, conscious pedagogical practice, valuing the spiritual, and spiritual and emotional growth. The evidences presented allow us to appreciate the daily life of personal and professional human contexts, providing the opportunity to acquire theoretical and practical tools for a healthy and prolonged life and the enjoyment of a horizon of dignified survival, with freedom, respect for oneself and others.

The nutritional factor affects the cognitive level of students and young people who are in the developmental stage in ages from birth to approximately twelve to fifteen years and much more if they are studying. This time of greater importance when the cognitive level of the same is already in development. The cognitive level is the basis for the development of competencies and for the application in the real context of students in countries with the best educational systems in the world, their teachers design all their planning through the use of various techniques and didactic processes. That will be applied in a real way in the formation of nutritionist knowledge. The countries of the world develop nutritional study techniques to prevent learning difficulties in time.

Accounting has undergone major changes throughout history. Until the early 19th century, the balance sheet and income statement were basically the only accounting tools available to management. However, over the years, companies began to become aware of the importance of adding new quantitative and even qualitative variables to the management of their companies. Cost accounting has evolved over the decades, introducing new management systems to achieve greater control of business costs and help achieve better results. To adapt to the dynamic and competitive environment of the business world, new trends in cost accounting have been developed; however, there is no model par excellence, each company, depending on its economic or technical capacity, will apply one model or another given its characteristics and needs. For this reason, the main existing systems have been presented throughout the work, in order to know their usefulness and importance, as well as the most important advantages and disadvantages.

The title of this work is an invitation to a systemic analysis of the vision that shapes us as humans. The author refers that tenacious, continuous, intense and relentless efforts are required to re-think the present, replacing the perception of past events with updated perceptions. How is it that on many occasions situations arise that require a solution, and how is it that from this apparent "simple action" unforeseen circumstances emerge that can cause alterations and emotional changes that make it difficult to adequately perceive our reality? The approach of the work affirms that we would not be the same if we had not been formed by those who educated us, since the construction of our reality is based on the sense of belonging that keeps us attached to people or circumstances.

This is not a programming book so we will not see concepts such as data types, variables, constants, control structures, even though in this text we will talk about some languages such as PHP, it is for this reason that it is not an object oriented programming book, but we will discuss the basic concepts of this paradigm as well as we will make reference to several of these concepts. For several years I have seen that there is no text that contains all (or most) of the topics of this subject (like others) and students turn to the internet, but find a lot of opinions (in this case also versions) without the advice that integrates all the concepts and the idea of this writing came to demonstrate application of the topics in LARAVEL.

The main objective of the book is to find tools to support the fertilizer recommendation, in order to obtain a quality crop and to reduce the fertilizer content to be applied with the consequent reduction of costs and, of course, always taking into account the respect for the environment. The first is based on the analysis of nitrogen balances, which is the most important nutrient in cauliflower cultivation, using different doses of nitrogen fertilizer to observe the behavior of the crop. The other part of the book, in which different mathematical models have been obtained, refers to the use of sensors. In this case they are reflectance sensors, which act as a "communication channel" with the plants, allowing us to understand in a non-invasive way what is happening inside them. The results obtained in this study highlight, once again, the importance of agronomic work through the study of the soil-plant system and the incorporation of new technologies in agriculture.

The World Health Organization (2016) defines adolescence as the period of human growth and development that occurs after childhood and before adulthood, between 10 and 19 years of age, and constitutes it as a stage of considerable risks, among which unprotected sex stands out, adding to this, it is known that the social context has a determining influence. The objective of the study was to determine the level of knowledge of contraceptive methods in adolescents of the Telebachillerato El Nigromante, Veracruz. Through a quantitative, descriptive, prospective and cross-sectional design, in 53 students aged 15 to 21 years, applying the Survey of Level of Knowledge of Contraceptive Methods (Aranda et al., 2017). The results express that 77.3% agree that besides helping to avoid pregnancy, they prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted infections, 83.0% affirm that the condom is the only one that protects from these and 76.5%, have high and medium knowledge (24.5%) of contraceptive methods, being the sociodemographic characteristics the main modulator.

Today, artificial intelligence has become an indisputable tool for the development and fulfillment of countries. The arrival of digital technology and Big Data opens up a fertile and fruitful avenue for the inclusion of intelligent robotics, something that would facilitate the transition from classic analog circuit-based technologies to digital technologies. in a few years' time, humanity will witness a revolution in science and technology. it's time for countries that haven't yet done so to launch schools and training institutions in artificial intelligence to keep pace with this revolution. This manuscript gives us a good example and an overview of the development of this technology in Morocco.

Traditional agricultural activities have been developed without taking into account the conservation of the environment and biodiversity, therefore, it is necessary in rural agro-productive sectors to carry out an ecological territorial planning that benefits the community and the existing biodiversity in the sector, carrying out sustainable and environmentally friendly productive activities. The objective of this research was to identify the biodiversity associated with an agro-productive rural settlement, in order to make a proposal for ecological management.

This book is a project management guide that explores methodologies and best practices for bringing projects of various sizes to a successful conclusion. It begins by defining what a project is, emphasizing its temporary nature and its objective of creating a unique product or service. The book then turns to the triangle model of project management, emphasizing the importance of balancing objective, cost and schedule, while integrating the notions of scope, quality and available resources. A chapter is devoted to the historical evolution of project management, from its military origins during the Second World War to its current role in various sectors, highlighting the impact of technological advances and globalization.The book also covers the foundations of an effective project team, emphasizing complementary skills, motivation and working methods. It explores different organizational structures

This book exposes some unknowns that are generated around children's gender identity and the mental health problems that these entail. Transgenderism in children is a taboo subject in Ecuador which has provoked myths and prejudices due to the little information that exists about it. The search for gender identity in children causes anxiety and other physical and psychological problems. These complications produce an alteration of mood that can be controlled with Dance Movement Therapy. This technique uses body movement as a means of expression and communication and has been applied to prevent and treat physical and psychological difficulties in various populations. With this, it is expected to demonstrate that art therapy, such as dance, is a technique with positive results to reduce psychological distress. Likewise, it is expected that there will be a reduction of stigmas and myths in order to fight against certain cultural misconceptions about transgenderism in minors.

The discussion concerning the socio-psychological system will contribute to the explanation of the impact of Information and Communication Technologies on human behaviour. The media seem to initiate and terminate the informational process of persuasion or dissuasion of audiences and groups, mainly people who interact closely with the individual, mediate the issues, contents and messages that the media have broadcasted.

This book is the result of the research entitled "The social policies of the Panamanian state in the reduction of indigenous poverty in the decade 1995-2005. The case of the Guna Yala region" and which was the work developed by the authors to obtain a Master's degree in Social Sciences with emphasis in Sociology and Political Science, at the Universidad Especializada de Las Américas (UDELAS) in 2011. The work was the only winner of the contest "Publication of meritorious works of bachelor, master and doctorate sponsored by the National Secretariat of Science, Technology and Innovation (SENACYT) in the second call of 2011, for the "Support of new researchers in Social Sciences", in the Republic of Panama.

The process of representing physical properties in a reservoir model consists of understanding their distribution (facies, porosity, permeability, etc.) in an adequate way, this requires the application of a series of criteria and techniques that aim to make a reliable and understandable model based on geological concepts. The present work aims to analyze and apply all the steps required for a successful modeling, among which are data integration, facies representativeness, and application of the appropriate technique for stochastic modeling; this sequence is crucial for an optimal representation. The points taken into account are: Identify sedimentary features using seismic attributes (Coherence, RMS). Analyze electrical well logs in order to identify the vertical resolution of the model and understand the variation of properties around the wellbore. Correlate formation markers that indicate geologic time. Apply Sequential Indicator Simulation (SIS) and calculate facies distribution based on its spatial probability.

The object of this book is the Sonata in A major D.959 by F. Schubert. The composer has been placed in a social, historical and artistic framework. In addition, a journey through the most important and representative works that he composed in 1828, the last year of his life, has been established. Schubert, in this last stage of maturity, manages to transcend his suffering and capture it in beauty. He respects the classical canons of the sonata form and at the same time manages to expand this concept, opening new paths for many later composers. An exploratory analysis has been carried out on the form (from an architectural point of view) and on the motivic elements of the sonata. Both aspects are treated in a way that contributes to the unity and coherence of the work. In Schubert's music, singing is always present, especially the lieder. But, in addition, it will show a clear influence of other genres that also exist in this sonata, such as string quartet, dance, other earlier works for piano and religious music.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that enables machines to learn from data and make decisions based on that data. In West Africa, AI is used in various fields such as health, agriculture, finance and security. While AI can offer considerable benefits, it can also have an impact on human rights. The aim of creating artificial intelligence (AI) is to develop computer systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. AI aims to reproduce certain human cognitive abilities such as perception, reasoning, learning, planning and decision-making. AI applications are vast and can include areas such as speech recognition, computer vision, machine translation, autonomous vehicles, virtual assistants and much more. It is important that governments and companies using AI take these recommendations into account to ensure that human rights are not violated.

Over the last decades, the Chilean model of school financing and management has undergone transformations that have led to various problems and generated gaps between different schools. In this context, the emergence of a strong student movement prompted an educational reform, which has focused on the promotion of human rights within the framework of the principles of inclusion, diversity and the rethinking of a model of intercultural education, among others. In this way, it is essential to describe how school management contributes to the construction of life projects considering cultural and gender diversity, which structure the identity of students. To this end, two case studies were carried out in schools in the Tarapacá region, Chile, with a high percentage of students belonging to an indigenous people, as well as migrant status and gender diversity, which made it possible to identify complex interrelationships of interest for understanding and investigating not only the academic role of the school but also its role as an agent of human development.

The research was conducted in a company located in the district of Tambogrande, Panamericana Norte. Carretera Tambogrande - Las Lomas, Department of Piura, during the months of January to March 2016. The objectives were: To evaluate the effect of waxing and size on the quality and shelf life of Kent variety mango fruit under hydrothermal treatment for 90 minutes and to determine the effect of the factors waxing and size.
