This paper analysed the possibility of State liability due to its inefficiency in combating and controlling neglected diseases. According to the World Health Organisation Report (2012), these diseases are caused by infectious or parasitic agents related to aspects of extreme poverty, representing obstacles to the socio-economic development of emerging countries. Based on qualitative bibliographical research, the work examined the non-contractual liability of the state in its omissive modality, anonymous guilt, presenting the damage resulting from the inefficiency of measures to combat and control these diseases. Research was carried out into how the right to health developed after the advent of the 1988 Constitution. The panorama of neglected diseases in Brazil was presented. Finally, the possibility of mitigating the liability of the state entity as a result of citizen behaviour that contributes to the manifestation of these diseases was investigated.

This work constitutes an approach to the literature-cinematography relationship, which establishes a sort of "love-hate" link between both artistic branches throughout their history. The approach of this study, based on the universality of the story (a category to which both the novel and the cinema belong), allows us to analyze the analogies, convergences and divergences between the literary and the filmic narrator in the work of a prolific writer - Bioy Casares - whose written work has usually been a target of film adaptations, as is the case with "El sueño de los héroes", the work chosen for this study.

The purpose of this research was to establish constructivism from the epistemology of meaningful learning, through the allosteric learning model, considering the teaching and learning processes from the cognitive, procedural and attitudinal aspects of the student. Approached under the qualitative approach of Action Research, documentary and field, through an exploratory-descriptive design, which implies action by the researcher, allowing to describe the development of the student's cognitive process, obtaining information on the use of their strategies, using as a technique the participant observation, focused on phenomenology and understanding. The technique of the unstructured interview was used, integrating teachers and students of the 1st year of General High School Education of the Alejandro Ibarra U.E.N. as informants. It was obtained that the intervention and contribution of a meaningful learning based on Andre Giordan's allosteric model is essential, in a dynamic and meaningful way, since routine classes continue without producing a real meaning to what is learned.

We conducted a prospective and descriptive multicenter study from July 2022 to May 2023, a period of 11 months.The aim of this study was to evaluate the management of severe malaria in the community health centers of Filamana, Fakola, Bamba and Guélenikoro in the Sikasso region. The study involved 158 patients presenting with one or more forms of severe malaria according to WHO severity criteria. The predominance of children aged 1 to 5 years was noted (72.3%). The anemic phenotype was the most frequent at 45.4%, while the mixed form was 32.8% and the anemic phenotype 21.5%. IM injectable artemether was used most frequently (59.5%), followed by injectable artesunate (32.9%), and two patients received quinine infusion (1.3%). Relief was mainly provided by artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). Most anemic phenotypes (60.1%) were transfused with whole blood. Antipyretics were used most frequently (52.7%), followed by antispasmodics (44.9%), and 21 patients (12.9%) received a serum glucose infusion.

In this work, I present CSR as an effective management tool for creating innovation and better controlling risks, in order to guarantee a company's long-term future. I base my analyses on successful business models in Africa and Europe. Secondly, as a collective responsibility that gives everyone a considerable advantage, contrary to many ideas perceived by some, who see it as a kind of atonement for companies' various blunders, or as a way of enhancing their brand image through communication slogans referring to respect for the environment, for example. It has to be said that this concept is still little known, particularly in Africa. I can advise you on how to adopt this approach, so that it proves effective and credible.

The content of this book seeks to raise the reader's awareness of the responsible use of medicines such as sildenafil and invites the various sectors of the medical and pharmaceutical world to participate actively in pharmacovigilance. This is in recognition of the pharmaceutical industry's efforts to produce more effective and safer medicines for the consumer based on quality management models and continuous improvement. The active participation of users who are aware of the risk of self-medication, together with the execution of timely warnings of adverse drug reactions, allows the development of pharmaceutical products with better tolerance and safety profiles. In addition, research into the various studies that accompany the development of new medicines and modifications to currently marketed medicines should be sponsored.

It is a methodological document that complies with international environmental assessment standards. The Environmental and Social Management Plan (ESMP) for the project to protect the town of Drarga in Morocco against flooding is intended for use by environmental engineers as inspiration for all infrastructure projects. All the chapters agreed by the donors, in particular the World Bank, are explained. All you have to do is follow the logic to produce an environmental and social management plan.

Hazardous waste management is a very important issue. This is because hazardous waste is not limited to solid substances. It also exists in liquid and gaseous form. Hazardous waste must be handled with the utmost care at all times, and all protocols and safety measures must be put in place. The negative impact of hazardous waste is enormous and should be addressed in management facilities to improve the safety of workers and the environment. In most African countries, particularly in the coastal countries of West Africa, strong population growth is creating a huge demand for better living conditions. As Africa moves towards rapid urbanisation and a technology boom, electronic products are being used on a large scale. The demand for E-products has led to a rapid increase in E-waste, which is considered hazardous. In most countries, urbanisation is increasing as economies move from developing to more developed countries (Sayon, 1991).

The world is undergoing a technological revolution, and no area is being spared. Developments in transport and telecommunications are bringing us high-speed vehicles. The state of the roads, the lack of vigilance among drivers (alcoholism, smoking), the lack of training in road traffic for drivers and the general public, and currently the phenomenon of motorbike taxis and bicycles with loads, in our area in particular, are contributing to an exponential increase in the number of road accidents. No country is spared from this suffering, which particularly affects young people. A considerable human heritage is destroyed, with very serious socio-economic consequences. This is why the major interest of this study is to find ways and means of minimising the prevalence of road accidents, which are becoming a real public health phenomenon, given the increase in car traffic in our environment compared with previous years, and in a road network that has remained static since colonial times.

The aim of this work is to investigate the effects of the use of flags of convenience on the labour relations of seafarers. The phenomenon of globalisation has brought new economic thinking and with it states have started to relax their laws in favour of financial development. In the same vein, companies sought to increase their profits and began to invest in these countries, especially those with more lenient labour and tax regulations. In this way, the big companies that own the cruise ship fleets have sought out countries with laws that are favourable to their interests. With this in mind, an analysis was made of the connecting factors that are appropriate for resolving possible conflicts arising from divergent laws, highlighting the difference between the connecting factors used to resolve labour conflicts arising from international labour contracts and international marine labour contracts, since the latter have certain peculiarities.

Despite its vital contribution to the livelihoods of the people living in the surrounding villages, the Mieou classified forest is now in an advanced state of degradation due to over-exploitation and encroachment by human activities (some even live there). Faced with this problem, a development and management plan has been drawn up for its sustainable management.The survey was conducted through interviews with 39 key resource persons and stakeholder groups from the various villages bordering the forest. Our results showed that the forest's resources are being used in multiple and abusive ways. With regard to local populations' knowledge of the management plan, the survey revealed that only 38% of our interviewees were aware of the management plan pending implementation; the remaining 62% said they were not aware of such a plan. In addition, around 60% of respondents said they had no other alternative for saving resources (during the replenishment period).

One of the main mechanisms for access to higher education demanded by Afro-Brazilians are affirmative action policies in the form of social and ethnic-racial quotas. This means understanding the subjects of these policies, discussing and characterising the relationships and intersections that are established between the categories of higher education, race/ethnicity and social class and the possible relationship of autonomy that one of these categories may establish in relation to the other. From a theoretical-methodological point of view, this exercise makes it possible to update and consolidate the analyses of the relationships, conditioning and shifts established between the categories already mentioned, when applied to these policies, as well as to perceive and characterise them as ethnically/racially compensatory or not. It is in the sphere of this admittedly polyphonic and burning issue, which has been mobilising the academic community and wider society even before it was implemented in our country, that this study by Marluce de Souza Oliveira Lima is inserted and presented to us here in the form of a book which, due to its importance and contributions, is strongly recommended reading.

The tradition of travel runs throughout history, from ancient times to the present day. From ancient times to the 19th century, traveling by stagecoach or horse was common. This can still be seen in the many inns that still exist today and are often located on busy country roads. These inns bear the name Zur Post, for example. The large luxury hotels, on the other hand, boast a beautiful landscape ambience, often with a swimming pool. As they are located in charming natural surroundings, they have combined many features in their architectural design that cannot be found in normal residential areas and that make them so desirable for many travelers.

This book aims to analyse public policy on special education in Brazil's public schools, at a time when the issue is gaining visibility, following the Salamanca Declaration and its developments on the world stage. The main focus of this analysis will be the implementation of specialised educational care policies for children and young people with special needs in the public school system. The quality of this care from the perspective of society and the family will also be the subject of this study, keeping an eye on the past but looking to the future. Another item that will be emphasised is the importance of the integral involvement of the parties involved. The study was developed based on texts by authors who are respected in education circles for their fight for fairer education for all, respecting differences.

The environmental impacts caused during the storage process of agricultural products increases as production increases, some mechanisms have been developed to mitigate this. This study demonstrates the operational mechanisms of a soybean storage unit, examining the potential environmental (positive and negative) and socioeconomic effects in all post-harvest stages, from grain transportation to shipping, as well as mitigating measures. In addition to the certifications required for the installation of a storage unit.

Enterococci are gram-positive bacteria with an aero-anaerobic metabolism. They are considered opportunistic pathogens that normally live in the intestinal flora, but can cause septicaemia, urinary tract infections, abdominal infections and endocarditis. They are considered to be responsible for more than 10% of hospital-acquired infections. The pathogenic power of enterococci is due to the presence of virulence genes which code for membrane proteins, toxins and enzymes. These are considered the virulence factors responsible for the formation of biofilms, adhesion, colonisation and destruction of target tissues, etc.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common endocrine disease after diabetes mellitus (1 in 1500 hospital admissions) in adulthood as its age of presentation coincides with the second half of life(38). It is a clinical situation in which there is excessive secretion of PTH by the parathyroid glands, leading to chronic hypercalcaemia and alterations in the hormone's main target organs (kidney and bone)(5,6). It is the most common cause of hypercalcaemia in non-hospitalised patients(5,27).

With this book, I intend, like many people, to leave my mark so that you can learn from my life experience, and see from another angle what it is like to live day by day with a disability. For me, it has been a lifestyle very different from any other woman's life, because every day is a new challenge. I hope with all my heart that this book will enlighten you and give you an insight into my search for everyday solutions to cope. Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is due to damage to the immature and developing brain, most often before birth. Signs and symptoms appear during the first year of life or preschool years. In general, cerebral palsy causes movement impairment associated with abnormal reflexes, limpness or stiffness of the limbs and trunk, abnormal posture, involuntary movements, unsteady gait, or a combination of these. People with cerebral palsy may have problems swallowing and often have eye muscle imbalance, where the eyes do not focus on the same object.

This book aims to contribute to the socialisation of relevant knowledge in the field of Brazilian educational management, especially school management in Amazonas. The discussions and reflections presented here by the author on Total Quality Management in a Public School: Points and Counterpoints, stem from the importance of public school management as an instrument of mediation in the teaching and learning processes, as well as involving social, political and cultural elements, materialised in the reality of the school that influence and contribute to the way it is organised. In this sense, this study sought to analyse the pedagogical processes implemented at the Profª Roxana Pereira Bonessi Full-Time State School (E.T.I.), in the city of Manaus/Amazonas/Brazil, specifically those related to the educational management model, anchored in Total Quality Management (TQM), which applied in a public school in the second decade of the 21st century as a pioneering experience, provoked reflections and debates in the intellectual milieu and rekindled the discussion about neoliberal policies in Brazilian education, especially with its current advance.

Convection is a way of transporting energy by means of potential gradients and fluid movement. Convection is the most important mechanism for transferring energy between a solid surface and a liquid or gas at a different temperature. Energy transfer by convection from a surface whose temperature is higher than that of the surrounding fluid takes place in several stages. The essential characteristics of heat transfer by convection are the transport of energy by molecular movement, known as 'diffusion', and by macroscopic movement of the fluid, known as 'advection'. Heat transfer by convection is referred to as natural or forced convection, depending on the way the fluid flows. If both causes exist simultaneously, without one being negligible compared to the other, the convection is said to be mixed. Mixed convection flow occurs in a cavity with a movable cover with the shear force caused by the movement of the wall and the thrust force produced by the thermal inhomogeneity of the cavity boundaries.

Kinyarwanda (Rwandan language) speakers settled in Masisi territory and later in Rutshuru territory. In the first territory, the presence is partly due to the Belgian colonial power that transplanted the Hutus from Rwanda to Congo. Illegal immigrants joined this group and "colonized" the Masisi demographically. In Rutshuru, the current inhabitants crossed the volcanic zone of Mikeno and others to settle in the Bugesera plain. The culture of these people has clashed with that of the indigenous Hunde in both Masisi and Rutshuru. This confrontation did not go smoothly. With the advent of politics and the rise of the demographic rate as well as the movement of other tribes, the confrontation became more and more pronounced. The Hutus have noticed that the Nandes are settled in Goma, Rutshuru and even Nyiragongo without being able to access the territory of Lubero and Beni. This has resulted in frustration and mistrust on both sides.

This study is devoted to the analysis of the scientific foundations of legal policy, their methodological justification. The problem of scientific substantiation of legal policy is studied in the framework of analysing the concept and meaning of legal policy in modern society, its goals, objectives, priorities, forms of implementation. The factors determining the necessity of scientific substantiation of legal policy are revealed. The comparative-legal method is widely used for the purpose of comparative scientific and cognitive analysis of the doctrinal level of legal policy in the CIS countries. A separate section of the study touches upon the scientific foundations of legal and educational policy, which in comparison with other directions and forms of its implementation should have a high doctrinal level, because it affects the sphere of legal consciousness, legal science, legal knowledge, legal ideology.

After its first issue published in February 2023, the Revue d'Actualité Juridique Congolaise is back with its second issue. Stanislas KUTADILA MOENDO and Blanchard LEVI VATA contributed to the writing of this issue.3 themes were addressed:- AREN'T HUMAN RIGHTS A MODERN FORM OF WESTERN DOMINATION OVER THE REST OF THE WORLD? And the case of the DRC.- THE PRIMACY OF INTERNATIONAL LAW ;- THE PHENOMENON OF TOUMBOLOGY AS A MODE OF SOCIAL REGULATION AGAINST THE KULUNA IN KINSHASA. Socio-legal studies of the issue.The leitmotiv of the reflections developed in this second issue is to confront the "letter of the law" with the "practice of law". And, since we're talking about Congolese law, the reader will understand that this law is in full growth, and in search of greater vitality.

No department in the world ceases to play a leading role in carrying out its tasks in accordance with the acts that generate them. This implies that all areas of social life within a state remain unimportant, even though cooperation between departments, bodies and institutions is a pivotal factor in the emergence of the community. As the mission of justice is primarily to promote social peace, this promotion resides in the enforcement of legal decisions handed down by national and international courts, which justifies the existence of the exequatur formula organized in Congolese law and throughout the world.

Discoveries of new species in Algeria demonstrate the richness of fungal diversity in arid regions, underlining the adaptation of truffles to varied environmental conditions. The book seeks to raise readers' awareness of the richness and opportunities offered by these fungi, while emphasizing the importance of ongoing research to exploit their full potential.

The development of the Information Society has contributed to the accelerated use of personal data, which is inevitably under threat. Following the example of certain countries, Côte d'Ivoire has decided to take legislative measures to protect the personal data of its citizens. A legal framework has therefore been put in place, establishing not only a Data Protection Authority, but also the function of Personal Data Protection Correspondent. The correspondent is appointed by the data controller to ensure independent compliance with personal data protection legislation. The aim of this book is to present and clarify the correspondent's position, profile and tasks in an operational manner. What are his or her responsibilities? What resources are required? What guarantees of independence? What kind of ecosystem? The aim of this book is to present and clarify, in an operational manner, the position, profile and tasks of the Data Protection Correspondent. What are the responsibilities? What resources? What guarantees of independence? What ecosystem?

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the leading causes of end-stage renal failure worldwide, and is associated with high cardiovascular mortality. It is the consequence of the combined effect of environmental and genetic factors. The reduction in incidence with glycemic control demonstrates the important role of metabolic alterations. Blood pressure control, notably with blockers of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, has been shown to slow the progression of renal disease. Current data show that diabetic nephropathy is not just a microvascular complication of diabetes, but that other cell types such as epithelial cells and podocytes are affected at an early stage and contribute to the genesis of renal disease. A more precise understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms of diabetic nephropathy will enable us to develop targeted therapeutic strategies and prevent kidney damage.

This was a cross-sectional and prospective study that took place from 01 to 30 June 2013 at Asacoboul 1. The objectives we set ourselves were: to describe the role of the ASACO in the management of Asacoboul1, to describe the organisation of the technical services of Asacoboul1, to describe the technical performance of Asacoboul1, to determine the evolution of the income and expenditure of Asacoboul1 from 2010 to 2012 and to determine the level of satisfaction of the users in relation to the services of Asacoboul1. At the end of this study, we obtained the following results: the existence of a management body with a lack of functioning, a deficit balance had been observed at the level of pricing; the reception is considered good in 56.7% of cases. Of the 400 users, 63.0% stated that they were very satisfied with the staff's services and 92.3% were willing to return for other services.

World aquaculture is growing more than any other primary activity sector, among other factors stimulated by the growing population and the demand for healthy, nutrient-rich food. Taking advantage of existing water resources has led to the development of fish farming, with fish reared in net pens, dugouts or weirs. It is a lower-cost investment alternative that is quicker to implement and is seen as an agribusiness capable of improving the social, environmental and economic conditions of a region. Increased susceptibility to parasitic, bacteriological and infectious diseases has caused major losses in fish farming. The occurrence of parasites and bacteria is one of the biggest causes of losses in industrial and sport fish farming, and there is also the fact that the aquatic environment facilitates the reproduction, dispersal and survival of pathogens. Research into fish health is scarce, especially when it relates to native species.
