This book presents some general considerations about the ageing process and its relationship with nutrition and the emotional state of the elderly. It is hoped that it will guide and stimulate the development of educational practices in the health of the elderly by health professionals and/or managers who are willing to better understand the ageing process. Chapter I deals with the Nutritional Assessment of the Elderly, which aims to identify individuals at increased risk of complications associated with their nutritional status, so that they can receive appropriate nutritional therapy. Chapter II deals with Nutritional Recommendations for the Elderly, where nutrition plays a crucial role in the conditions associated with the elderly. Chapter III deals with Nutrition Education for the elderly, which is a strategy recommended by public policies on food and nutrition. Chapter IV deals with Chronic Non-Communicable Diseases and deficiency in the elderly, whose modifiable risk factors include inadequate eating habits. Chapter V deals with Psychology and Nutrition, a look at age, fostering and the subjectivity of ageing.

Although tuberculosis is most common in the lungs, it also affects other organs, and is known as extrapulmonary tuberculosis. A descriptive, exploratory study with a quantitative approach was carried out with the aim of analyzing all the cases of extrapulmonary tuberculosis treated at a hospital in the city of São Luís-MA. The results show that 53.7% of the patients studied were male. The most frequent clinical forms were pleural (59.26%) and ganglionic (25.93%). The main auxiliary tests for diagnosing tuberculosis seen in the medical records were: sputum smear microscopy (48.15%), sputum culture (16.67%), PPD (40.74%), X-ray (68.52%). With regard to the most commonly used treatment regimen, regimen I predominated (94.44%). It can be concluded that extrapulmonary tuberculosis can be a serious form of infection which can lead to death if not treated and diagnosed in time. It is therefore necessary for health professionals to be prepared to provide the basic conditions for successful treatment, through informative and educational activities.

A proper understanding of the concept of teacher training leads us to assume the responsibilities that the trainer has, not only in the process of preparing the future teacher but, above all, that their development is focused on change, which should be at the centre of the whole teacher training process. However, the concern to understand teachers' conceptions, practices and professional knowledge should be the permanent guide for teacher training institutions, through which they ensure the development of the training curriculum.

This research, carried out as part of a stricto sensu postgraduate course, proposes reflecting on children's literacy in a critical dimension based on Paulo Freire's proposals. Thinking about literacy in this way requires asking about the principles that underpin the different conceptions of the process of teaching and learning to read and write, i.e. what model of literacy one has or wishes to have; what is meant by reading and writing, which implies recognising that it is the epistemological and political assumptions that underpin the decisions about literacy that are made in the classroom, translated into the selection of content, methodologies and resources and materials, and, above all, in the social relationships that are established in the educational act.

In this book, the author will discuss ethics and integrity in science as the core of research, thus also preparing the future generation around education and its working environment. As we are all aware, the essence of science is the pursuit, generation and transmission of knowledge and ethical standards so as to empower our generation. Thus, the practical requirements of these activities define an intrinsically moral social contract between students, professional agencies, private organizations, non-governmental organizations, government, academics and researchers, in which honesty, objectivity and mutual trust are the standards of integrity and professional honor. There is no one in this multicultural world who does not depend on others to conduct research. As scientists, we all depend on the validity of previous work, whether as a foundation for new questions or as a conceptual framework within which new explanations are tested.

This book, the result of historiographical research, aims to analyse and reflect on the horizons of expectation established in the final moments of the monarchical regime in Brazil regarding the imminent arrival of the Third Reign, as well as its re-signification following the fall of the monarchy and the establishment of a republican regime after the military coup of 15 November 1889. Similarly, we intend to study the persistence and conformation of the same idea in the initial moments of the First Republic and the monarchist movement, as well as understanding the formation of the horizons of expectation that were formed around the idea of the arrival of the Third Reign.

The theme of this study is the urban environment and the changes affecting the lives of Brazil's elderly population in the 21st century. Based on this research topic, the general objective was established, which seeks to identify the changes in the urban environment and the implications for the lives of elderly people born at the beginning of this century. This population was part of the colonisation of the country. The main theoretical approaches highlight the emergence of cities, the rural exodus, the favelas in the states of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the establishment of large metropolises, changes in environmental legislation, the emergence of laws aimed at defending and protecting the elderly and the transformations in the lives of the people who began colonisation. They were labelled as elderly. That's why they lacked space in the lives of their families, in the cities, on the streets and in the squares. The environment they knew no longer exists. As for the methodology, bibliographical research was carried out by reading books, researching websites, related literature, compendiums, magazines and newspapers.

Ahhh, play in early childhood education, where the idea is that children waste their "time" with random activities and meanwhile could be in the classroom reading and writing. There are other ways to teach children without falling into the same old ways: games and play. This activity is so important that it develops motor coordination, authority, identity, interaction, entertainment and other qualities mentioned throughout the book. We have to realise that these are children up to the age of 5 and spending all their time in a classroom can be totally sacrificing, to the point where the child loses interest in their studies. When we hear the word Play, the first thing that comes to mind is Children, so why not combine the useful with the pleasant and teach children in a dynamic way without neglecting the main purpose which is learning!!! By reading this book you will understand even more about the dynamics of the teaching-learning process through playful activities.

Computer systems, computer equipment, information generated by organisations, companies, educational establishments, etc., are of great importance and must be properly controlled and protected. An alternative is the implementation of computer security policies to guarantee business continuity. With the increase of the technological infrastructure of the University of Cuenca, the number of users, departmental divisions and communication equipment is increasing, which generates the need to implement new security mechanisms to maintain the integrity, availability and confidentiality of the information. The proper functioning of computer equipment, computer systems and communication equipment must be linked to a correct selection of controls that allow the institutional interests to be achieved.

Given that there is a constant growth in companies, where Occupational Health and Safety is gaining importance as time goes by, due to the need to ensure the welfare of their employees. Standards that regulate OSH, require providing employees with optimal working conditions, where they feel safe and healthy, increasing productivity and competitiveness. The implementation of an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OSHMS) generates great advantages such as: more effective decision making, improved strategic planning, more efficient allocation of resources, among others, which contribute to making the organisation more competitive, caring for its employees and complying with regulations. This article presents the structuring of an OSHMS in a company dedicated to the maintenance of conveyor belts located in Valle de Cauca, using the PHVA methodology (Plan, Do, Check, Act) where the structuring is focused on the Plan and Do (PH) and provide a specific guide for the company to perform the remaining stages (VA).

Hydromagmatic hornitos, known in the Anglo-Saxon literature as pseudo-craters or littoral cones, are small mounds built by lava fragments that are arranged on the surface of many lava flows. Their study is of great interest for research on the behaviour of lava flows in regions of lava-water interaction (coastal, lake, etc.) and their influence on the morphology of volcanic areas (such as Hawaii, the Canary Islands or Iceland). In addition, their analysis involves an explosive procedure of less intensity, but of equal behaviour, than the large volcanic complexes of explosive genesis by water-magma contact. The methodology used was based on the morphometric and typological analysis of both the smaller topographic units and the surrounding lava flows, using GIS technology. In the Canary Islands, these minor topographic anomalies appear to be unrooted constructions, of varied plan and elevation, whose spatial distribution is usually associated with the layout of the different flow units of a lava flow and the geometry of the different lava lobes, being linked to the location of lava flows in the environment.

Traumatic hand pathology is a frequent reason for consultation. This, together with the serious sequelae that can occur when it is not diagnosed in time or the correct treatment is not carried out, makes knowledge of it essential. In this book we aim to review fundamental concepts on anatomy, biomechanics, causal mechanism, diagnosis and treatment of the main injuries, in order to simplify and simplify their study.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a persistent and continuous pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity and impulsivity, which impedes daily activities or typical development by causing difficulties in maintaining attention, executive function and working memory. Because of its impact on both children and adults, it is currently a topic of great interest and is the subject of many studies worldwide. This research addresses important aspects related to the aetiopathogenesis of the syndrome and the different treatments used to alleviate it; it also provides information about the associated morbidities and conceptual approaches that are evident in international classification systems. The research design was exploratory, retrospective and descriptive. The files of 2780 students were analysed, and only 7 teachers from the eight selected schools were interviewed. The teachers were administered the Conners questionnaire.

The process of computerisation of Cuban society is a fact; in order to achieve the aims set out in the initial training of the education professional in the Bachelor's Degree in Computer Education plays a leading role. To this end, ways must be found to contribute to this objective, and for this reason the research addresses an educational software capable of motivating and stimulating the students' interest in the content, as well as raising their knowledge of this subject to a higher stage, in the discipline of Educational Digital Applications of Graphic Design with CorelDraw. This responds to the lack of teaching aids that collect and provide the content of the subject, where students understand, acquire more knowledge and thus increase the effectiveness of the Teaching-Learning Process.

Coping strategies are basic skills, recognized as one of the most important and skills with the greatest impact on the quality of the foundations of social functioning. The aim of this study was to find out which Coping Strategies are most used by Individuals in the Active Drug Use Phase, relating coping strategies to sociodemographic characteristics and characteristics relating to consumption. It was also the aim of this study to identify in this population whether the fact that active substance users have diagnosed chronic illnesses, specifying any illnesses that have been flagged up, contributes to them using coping strategies differently.

Introduction:The association of medial meniscal ramp lesions with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament is underestimated.This lesion draws its specificity partly because of the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulty and partly because of the repercussions on knee stability.Methods :Systematic exploration of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus was performed in all patients. Surgical repair of the medial meniscal ramp lesion was performed using the ALL INSIDE method.Results:The mean age of our series was 24 years. A medial meniscal lesion was found in 42 patients (40%), including 10 medial meniscal ramp lesions, i.e. a prevalence of 9.5% in our population.At last recoil of patients who had a suture for medial meniscal ramp lesions, ARPEGE scoring showed 100% good results.Conclusions:Liberation of the medial compartment of the knee and systematic arthroscopic exploration postero-medially before any ligamentoplasty is the only guarantee of not overlooking an injury to the medial meniscal ramp, the repair of which is imperative in order to avoid residual laxity.

The OSCE test that validates the orthopaedic internship is often disproportionate between adult and paediatric orthopaedics, and cannot attest to the achievement of the paediatric orthopaedic extern's objectives. This discrepancy between the evaluation test and the clerkship prompted us to establish another formative evaluation test during the clerkship to assess our externs' learning.Patients and methods: Our study was prospective and longitudinal. We used two linear PMPs, the first of which was of the diagnostic type "Etiological diagnosis of febrile lameness" and the second of the therapeutic type "Therapeutic management of hematogenous septic arthritis". A pre- and post-test was performed for each PMP.Results: We evaluated 42 DCEM1 externs.The variation between the means observed in the pre-test and post-test was deemed statistically significant p

Exceptional taxation, a complex and constantly evolving field, offers a unique perspective on the nuances and peculiarities of the tax system. Unlike ordinary tax rules, exceptional taxation encompasses specific provisions, targeted tax incentives, and derogatory rules that apply to particular situations. It is important to note that the complexity of taxation varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and exceptional taxation can be adapted to meet the specificities of national, regional or sub-regional tax laws. The aim of this book is to plunge readers and researchers into the fascinating world of exceptional taxation, where the rigor of tax laws blends with the flexibility required to respond to extraordinary circumstances. The aim of this book is to identify the motivations or reasons for exceptional taxation in the Democratic Republic of Congo, to clarify the demarcation between taxation and exceptional taxation, and to identify the sources and different regimes of exceptional taxation.

The monograph is devoted to the political and economic development of the Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire) in the post-colonial era. The case study focuses on the causes of underdevelopment and huge income disparities observed in the modern world economy. Based on his own model calculations, which take into account the key role of technological progress, the author argues that there is some combination of factors that determines the development of any national economy. In order to build a modern market economy, Congo (Kinshasa) should substantially increase, along with education and R&D, the economic role of learning by doing. All this requires more investment in physical and human capital. The government should also attract more foreign capital and focus more on modernizing agriculture and infrastructure. To achieve these goals, however, armed conflicts within the country must end. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in the theory and practice of Third World development and especially the pressing problems of the African least developed countries.

The main objective of the research is to identify the decision-making factors when buying premium beef in Campo Grande - MS, with the aim of analyzing the premium consumer market in the beef production chain, so that those involved in the production process have a new vision of their consumers, broad knowledge on the subject and identification of the factors that influence purchasing decisions, so that they can promote strategies aimed at expanding their operations in the premium market. Brazil is one of the world's largest beef producing countries, 80% of which is consumed domestically and the trend is for this consumption to increase. In view of the rise of class C, increased consumer demand for quality beef, and the challenge of decommoditizing and producing meat with differentiation and added value, it is necessary to understand the factors that influence consumer purchases, especially those in niche markets, such as premium beef, especially in Brazil's top producing states such as Mato Grosso do Sul - MS.

This is a reflection on the film Fight Club from the perspective of Kierkegaard's philosophy. For Kierkegaard ancient guilt is transparent. Oedipus recognises his fault and accepts it, he recognises himself as guilty and feels sorrow. Modern drama is characterised by subjectivity and reflection; in it the tragic hero does not suffer, but it is through a fully singular act that he will become guilty. When Jack and Tyler discover themselves as split beings, as double beings, anguish and despair will force them to make the somersault into the void and choose between: either one or the other, Jack or Tyler, between the aesthetic or the ethico-religious stage. The split makes it clear not only that we are dual beings, but also shows that it is the Nothing that sustains us, as we stand on the abyss.

Cholera is a serious, contagious intestinal toxic infection caused by the enterotoxin of V. cholerae serogroups O1 and O139 associated with major epidemics. This is a public health emergency. The various interventions implemented do not make it possible to control the disease. The surveillance system has been of little use because it does not fully contribute to the prevention and control of negative health-related events. Biological research should not only be limited to the human part. Ignoring the value of environmental monitoring will hinder the elimination of cholera and prevent the benefits of these services from increasing where the need is greatest. Indeed, the systematic determination of cholera sanctuary areas could be an essential approach to the establishment of effective and efficient cholera control programs. To effectively combat cholera, it is imperative to set up a surveillance system that takes into account aspects of One Health, given that vibrio cholerae behaves differently in inter-epidemic and epidemic periods.

This book is a collection of profound and logical ideas that invite readers to explore the author's brilliant thinking on a journey through increasingly relevant historical themes.

Bullying is a serious problem that affects countless students in elementary, middle and higher education. This problem has serious repercussions not only for those who suffer it, but also affects the physical and mental well-being of aggressors and witnesses of mistreatment, the sequelae produced by having exercised or witnessed violence or harassment towards any of their peers, sometimes last into adulthood. The study of school bullying is relatively new, beginning with the observations of Dan Olweus (1973), who noticed that some of his students were assaulted by one or more of their classmates. As a result of these observations, the study of school violence and bullying began first in European countries and then spread to Latin America. Most of the studies had focused mainly on elementary school students, because it was believed that only in this group the mistreatment among peers occurred, in more recent investigations have included young people of higher and superior level finding high figures of violence and harassment in them.

The book aims to make visible the results of a qualitative research about the experiences of discrimination against transgender people in Chile, from a human rights perspective, as an ethical horizon of the discipline of Social Work. From a constructionist and queer epistemological approach, central elements of feminist theory are articulated to understand the effects of social contempt suffered by trans people, pointing out those public spaces where violence towards them is more intense. This allows us to arrive at disciplinary reflections that resituate the notion of recognition and human dignity for the development of social interventions.

This work examines how often overlooked factors such as temperature, concentrations and mixing techniques play a crucial role in scientific advances, bridging the gap between theory and practice. It first looks at the thermal behavior of sodium bicarbonate, citric acid and their mixtures, used in the foam industry, using TGA-DSC. It then explores the creation of blends with low-density polyethylene at different concentrations, aiming to determine the optimum combinations to produce new blends and to study their physico-chemical properties. The results indicate that sodium bicarbonate releases more gas, increasing the diameter by up to 60% with 2pcr and up to 30% with 1pcr citric acid. Mixtures based on optimal concentrations, such as 60/40 and 50/50, showed significant synergy, leading to denser, finer and more regular cells.
