This publication is the result of a research thesis in economics. It seeks to show how the transition to a green economy can become a new source of opportunities not only to help low-income food-deficit countries (LIFDCs) escape extreme poverty, but also to achieve sustainable development. In this book, we attempt to analyze theoretically and empirically the role that the transition to a green economy can play in eradicating extreme poverty and moving LIFDCs towards sustainable development.We highlight the literature review on the responsibility of climate change for the deterioration in the quality of life of people living below the poverty line according to the World Bank. We also look at the role of the transition to a green economy in leading LIFDCs towards sustainable development. Finally, we look at the different ideas developed in the context of orienting the LIFDCs' economy towards sustainable development, and the appropriate responses not only for the LIFDCs, but also for the rest of the world.

Nowadays the problem of recycling of secondary polymeric materials is of topical importance, first of all from the point of view of environmental protection, but also from the fact that in conditions of polymeric raw materials deficit plastic wastes become a powerful raw material and energy resource. Therefore, the utilisation of polymer waste is an urgent task. At present there are several ways of utilisation of waste polymeric materials, in particular burial in soil, incineration, thermal methods, creation of biodegradable polymers. But all these methods have significant disadvantages. In the monograph on the example of polymer industry wastes, in particular polyethylene and its wastes by chemical modification (chlorination, amination, etc.) new products are obtained, polymer-polymer systems are created, which were reapplied in the polymer industry, thus offering waste-free, low-tonnage technologies.

Drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, are transforming the way war is waged, becoming a fundamental weapon in contemporary armed conflicts. They have been used by US armed forces and intelligence services, not only in reconnaissance operations but also in controversial attacks against civilians in the US-led fight against terrorism, mainly in the Middle East and Asia. This paper seeks to highlight the relevance and topicality of the debate surrounding the use of armed drones for targeted strikes as a means of combating terrorism, considering that the parameters for assessing and determining the legality of this type of action differ depending on the legal regime applicable to each specific case.

Torture is one of the most serious violations of human rights and is one of the ultimate acts of violence and "perversion" of one human being over another. It transcends not only the individual sphere, since it reaches all the vital spheres of those involved. The United Nations published the "Istanbul Protocol", which is the international instrument par excellence for documenting torture and its consequences, as it sets out the general principles to be followed, the obligations of states to prevent, investigate and punish it, as well as the minimum elements that must be included in expert opinions. The Stabul Protocol highlights the central role of psychological assessment in an investigation of torture.

The constant evolution of machinery and equipment has caused great concern for the country's sustainable development. More and more industries, greater use of fossil fuels and, consequently, greater wear and tear on the environment. In view of the rapid advance of technology and the environmental impact it can have, this study aims to implement energy efficiency measures in a way that does not harm the environment, promoting a better quality of life. It is in this context that this project is an alternative way of producing electricity in an innovative way. The project consists of a Stirling engine that, coupled with a parabolic reflector antenna, is able to concentrate the sun's rays on a single point of the engine, the hot chamber. This makes it possible to generate a temperature difference between the two chambers and transform the solar energy captured into mechanical energy. Through the dynamo connected to the motor, this mechanical energy is transformed into electrical energy in a clean and sustainable way.

The world is constantly changing and not adapting to them would interrupt its own progress since they are all interrelated by media, services or people; it is important not to remain in a bubble and apply those changes that the world presents but choosing the ones that best suit and for that the importance of managing changes correctly using tools for each type of change.

Life in cities implies a higher risk of accidents in pets, which have been increasing in the last years. On the other hand, the prolongation of life expectancy in canines and felines has caused a higher incidence of degenerative conditions due to age, such as osteoarthritis, among others. Fortunately, the advance in the sophistication of the available complementary diagnostic methods, such as magnetic resonance imaging, has gradually allowed a greater certainty in the diagnoses and therapeutics used. All this has generated the need for new therapeutic alternatives complementary to traditional treatments, and thus physiotherapy is gradually becoming an important integral part of the treatment. For the professional, the ultimate goal is usually the rehabilitation of the patient. The goal for most owners is simply for their pet to have the best quality of life. It is our obligation as professionals to practice our profession in pursuit of this goal. Thus arose the need to write this book, whose reading will be useful for both professionals and students.

The document embodies a reflection on the corporate importance in the resolution of the salt crisis in the municipality of Manaure, La Guajira, calling for a convergence between private capital, civil society and governmental actors to address the problem through the institutionalisation of a departmental policy that achieves synergy between the actors involved and, through governance, brings about the socio-economic rescue of the salt mines in a region with poor social development indicators.

This work leads the reader to learn about situations that, by virtue of free expression, give way to creations called "parodies "1 of trademarks, being these facts generators of conflicts between the owner of the trademark and the one who intends to take advantage of this intangible asset without the authorization of its owner. For Dessemontet, parody is "a burlesque representation of an existing work for the purpose of criticism", the best known form being literary satire. This author identifies three characteristic elements of parody: 1. It satirizes the work from which it is inspired. There is an economic effect, but it is not similar to that resulting from plagiarism because there is no direct exploitation of another work that displaces that of the original work; the second creation does not replace the first. 3. It must be a creation with its own originality, even if it must be recognized as the parodied work. The essential of the parody is to appear to the public as an original work, which does not generate confusion between the parodied work and the creation inspired by it, being the border between both works more difficult to determine than it seems (Bugallo Montaño, (2014).

The general aim of this study was to investigate the forms of cultural management practised in the border municipalities of Jaguarão, Brazil and Rio Branco, Uruguay. The aim was to identify the existence of cultural management and which practices would be best suited to the expectations of local populations and their influence on the lives of these communities. The main motivation for working on this topic was the search for effective results and new initiatives in the area of cultural management, with the aim of improving the understanding of public administrations and the community about existing policies in the sector. To address this issue, a study of the area in question was carried out, taking into account historical aspects that have contributed to shaping the region from a cultural, economic and human development point of view. Considering experiences such as UNESCO's Creative Cities Programme and actions carried out in European and Latin American countries, it was possible to exemplify actions that could easily be carried out in the region under study. With the content presented, it can be concluded that there is still a long way to go to implement effective cultural management.

Over the last five decades, the world has seen an explosion of emerging diseases in human populations. Numerous emerging infectious diseases of animal origin have reached humans, including AIDS, Ebola, SARS, avian flu, chikungunya, Zika and COVID 19. The emergence of known parasites and bacterial or fungal pathogens is leading to the emergence of synergistic epidemics on all continents, including Africa.To this end, in Mali, the Ministry of Health has decided to involve the community in the fight against public health threats by using mobile telephony to report such threats, while respecting the method of notifiable disease surveillance as defined by the WHO. Thus, every day, with the support of health agents, CHWs send a coded message to health centers and districts with a view to detecting any public health threats in real time. These messages are then confirmed or invalidated by the health agents through investigation and the collection of samples for forwarding to the lab.

In this second part of the study, which comprises two titles and two chapters in each title, the aim is to deepen research into logistics and governance, by adding other indices that contribute to Morocco's desired development model towards sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to analyze the evolution of the structure of trade between Morocco and ECOWAS countries, its strengths and weaknesses, and what needs to be done to develop them.As far as the development model is concerned, we have looked at it theoretically in terms of the vision, the paradigm and the development path, but also in terms of the speeches made by His Majesty King Mohamed VI.On a practical level, we cited some of Morocco's achievements in transport and logistics to Sub-Saharan Africa, while pointing out the obstacles that limit the development of trade between Morocco and the ECOWAS countries. Finally, we concluded the study with a diagnosis of relations between Morocco and Sub-Saharan Africa, based on a SWOT analysis.

The experience of investigating the meaning of motherhood for women of the indigenous Bribri ethnic group, from the Canton of Talamanca, province of Limón, Costa Rica, with an ethnopsychoanalytical methodology is taken up again. This is a paradigmatic break in several levels, since it implies that from the so-called qualitative research, the casuistry is validated in the deepening and singularity of the experience of which the subjects give account. Secondly, this is only possible through the listening that is characteristic of psychoanalytic work. Thus, a reading (interpretation) of what is said by the subject from her own signifiers is made possible. It is precisely here that the role and the tools used by ethnopsychoanalysis are detached from the focus on objectivism and sepcy, allowing the researcher to become involved as a subject who investigates from another place with other signifiers, which enrich her work and sensitize what this knowledge produces. This is how the third rupture occurs. The woman, the Bribri indigenous woman and motherhood are decoded, demystified, actions that transverse to the researcher, evidenced in her questions.

Brand reproduction or imitation is a very common practice in the business world. This reproduction or imitation, considered an infringement of trademark rights, is the subject of numerous disputes between the trademark owner and the competitor. This is a pre-eminent type of dispute before the Higher Appeals Commission, in that it is the most well-known by the Commission between the periods of 2000 and 2020. This justifies our analysis of the trends in the case law of the Board of Appeal. The 257 decisions handed down by the Board on trademark law issues are analyzed and exploited.In the light of the provisions of Annex III of the revised Bangui Agreement of 1999, the book sets out two main aspects of trademark litigation before the High Commission of Appeal.
