This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Space reserved for an investigative exercise that intended to verify the association between motor coordination and decisional skills in the context of football, in a sample of convenience with 46 5th grade students.For this, the KTK test battery was used to evaluate motor coordination and an adapted observation guide in order to assess the skills that we consider to be decision-making capabilities, such as risk taking, creativity and innovation and decision making. As a result, students with normal levels of motor skills differentiate themselves by the ability to take risks, showing traces of daring and greater confidence in themselves.On the contrary, those who revealed coordinating weaknesses were those who neglected to intervene in the game centre and/or ignored the game environment, showing themselves to be more inhibited and more likely to be trapped in a single focus, where the tiny motor repertoire considerably restricted their decision-making performance. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Problems of learning, teaching or content This is based not only on the need to transmit to the reader my experience of 25 years of practice as a therapist and consultant in different schools, but also on the need to reflect here a whole collection of information gathered about what is known to date about learning disorders in order to determine their origin, development and treatment alternatives. All the above with the aim of providing the reader (parent, teacher, doctor, specialist) with the necessary elements to evaluate this reality, while inviting specialists and therapists to question the effectiveness of the assessments and procedures used, being mostly a set of 'knowledge' inherited and used because 'that is the procedure that has been followed until today' without questioning its value or benefit.Thus, it is my wish that this network of voices and glances will promote reflection and awaken curiosity aimed at achieving change, the change necessary to achieve the true and profound educational reform that is so necessary. 80 pp. Englisch.…

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Discrimination occurs in the work environment, through the isolation of the employee by colleagues, the offer of working conditions lower than those available to other employees, or the non-receipt of promotions for management positions. In a macho society, prejudice against homosexuals in the workplace is sometimes veiled, however, the individual feels persecuted, can be fired, or even be the victim of sanctions and punishments arising from their sexual orientation. Discrimination against the LGBT public has been considered a violation of human rights since 1991, by Amnesty International, and so the rights of this public have grown over the years. Analyzing this profile of the organizational society, the following problem has arisen: the need to verify the form of manifestation of homophobia within organizations. In order to solve this problem, a qualitative survey was carried out by means of an interview with professionals in their work environment, in the cities of Ponta Grossa and Castro, seeking their opinion regarding the treatment of homosexuals in their workplace. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Since human beings occupied the world, diseases have also come into existence and spread among society. Although outbreaks of certain diseases occur frequently, only a few reach the level of a pandemic. According to the World Health Organization, Pandemic is a term used for a certain disease that quickly spread to various parts of various regions (continental or global) through sustained contamination. In this regard, the severity of the disease is not determinant, but its power of contagion and its geographical proliferation. And they left a huge trail of deaths. They are the devastating Black Death and the Spanish Flu. Just like the Covid-19 outbreak now, the two previous pandemics also originated from animals - bats and rats, probably. The symptoms of all three are identical or similar: muscle pain, fever, tiredness, insomnia, inflammation of the trachea, difficulty breathing, severe headache and lack of concentration. The positive side of situations like these is that science always advances in studies that contribute solutions to medicine. 60 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Concrete structures need post-fire analysis, because when exposed to high temperatures and to thermal shock by sudden cooling, they can present immeasurable damage, which is the subject proposed in the work. Therefore, besides comparing the values obtained with those of the reference CP's, they correlated with the data of the theoretical reference in order to verify the loss of resistance of the abruptly cooled concretes. The concrete with Fck of 35 and 40MPa presented higher loss of resistance, if compared to the concrete with Fck of 25MPa. At temperatures of 900 and 1200ºC, the percentage of loss is equal to the concrete with Fck of 25MPa. This refers to the fact that the more resistant the concrete is, the greater the percentage loss and the incidence of Explosive Spalling. In view of the results, it can be concluded that heating and cooling interfere with the physical-chemical properties and microstructure of the concrete, favoring the emergence of micro-cracks and consequently affecting the characteristic resistance of the concrete. 84 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The reality of happiness and suffering does not depend on external causes, it is inherent in the nature of mental states. It is for this reason that the re-education of the mind makes it possible to diminish moments of pain and suffering and to replace them with happiness and equanimity. To make this possible it is necessary to follow a routine of self-discipline, and to be able to apply it it is necessary to possess the correct understanding of the nature of the Self and the mind.There are selfish acts and unselfish acts of pure compassion. The former are always associated with the various variations of suffering, while the latter allow us joy and the expansion of the mind into the whole universe. Every state of happiness depends on an interaction between one and the other, along with the environment around us. Compassion allows us to see goodness in all beings and for them to feel favored and blessed by our actions towards them.So to live happily the key condition is that we practice selfless love for others around us. This also frees us from thoughts tainted by selfishness, jealousy, hatred and anger. 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The topic of this paper is a study of speech behavioral stereotypes of children of primary school age and middle-aged adults. Stereotype is understood as the result of speech automatism, which is explained by the recurrence of everyday situations of communication. Despite the frequency and importance of using stereotypes in the real speech activity of native speakers, so far speech stereotypes have been studied only from the point of view of style and culture of speech. In our work an attempt is made to master them linguistically. Having set a task to consider use of stereotypes in children's speech and in speech of adults with the subsequent comparison of their use by children and adults in speech activity, the authors have tried to solve it by methods of linguistic and psycholinguistic analysis of stereotyped expressions of English-speaking characters of literary works on a material of the English, American and Russian fiction of XIX - XX centuries from positions of modern psycholinguistics. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This small text offers a thoughtful tour of the place that flowers occupy in culture, of their hidden power and of their amazing resistance on a symbolic, empirical and even therapeutic level. After describing some moments and areas in which flowers have played and continue to play a fundamental role, the avatars they experience in globalized societies are shown. From the creation of the impossible of a blue rose, the reflection goes into the paths that lead to the pressing and paradoxical problems coming from the contemporary scientific-technical civilization. Technoscience that, in alliance with capitalism in its current stage, becomes technocracy. The blue rose thus appears as the friendly face of a devastating power that is not willing to recognize any limits and therefore, challenges our way of being in the world, dismissive and predatory of biodiversity on a large scale. It seems that all capacity to contemplate and listen to animal and plant life has been lost. However, the clamour of nature is becoming more and more intense. The blue rose wants to tell us something, it is resisting so that we can listen to it. Shall we do it 64 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book does not purport to provide all the relevant information. It is an effort to give the reader a general overview of what Ubembe is, and perhaps also an encouragement to researchers to be willing to work in this area to discover and locate the riches to be exploited for safe community development. The presentation will lead the reader to the indigenous people, the Babembe, and will leave room for their socio-political organization and way of life. We believe that this knowledge of the indigenous people is indispensable to all those who are leading or are called to lead evangelization in Ubembe, or better yet, will help to guide evangelization efforts in this region. It may also be of use to national authorities seconded from other regions to work in this part of the Democratic Republic of Congo, or to foreigners wishing to settle there or organise a development work there. Finally, it is an analytical essay on the evangelization carried out until then in Ubembe. However proposed by a layman, an individual linked to a religion and a culture, this reflection can only trigger a debate that is beneficial to all. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -As the second largest economy in the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU) and the fourth largest in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), the results obtained on the performance of Senegal's key sectors reveal the state of the country's economic activities, with a slowdown in product exports. However, the policy of reducing imports of certain products seems to be yielding positive results. Senegal's trade performance is defined by its position in foreign trade, which is marked by commercial products becoming less competitive. Despite efforts to diversify national production, Senegal's structural development is weak. It is losing a considerable share of the sub-regional and world market. This is due to a neglect of factors of production that have become obsolete or poorly exploited. With structural renewal of the factors of production, improved productivity, adequate diversification of the production offer and technology transfer, Senegal can make its trade more dynamic and competitive. 80 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -One of the consequences of the human impact on the environment is the pollution linked to the various human activities, including agriculture. The heavy use of chemicals to increase production is not without consequences for the ecosystem.The discharges from many industries (plastics, cosmetics, paper and particularly textiles), heavily loaded with dyestuffs, pose many health problems. Some dyes degrade into toxic, mutagenic or carcinogenic compounds that affect the living organism.In the present work, the focus is on the study of the sorption in aqueous solution of methylene blue on a biomass, in this case the glumes of the sorghum bicolor (red millet).Native to Africa, sorghum bicolor is an important crop worldwide, both for human food (as a cereal or for the production of syrup and molasses), and for animal feed (fodder), the production of alcoholic beverages and biofuels. Most varieties are therefore drought- and heat-tolerant and are particularly important in arid regions. 72 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The objective of this book is to study the extent to which the metropolisation process presents a solution for improving the competitiveness of medium-sized cities. In order to meet the positioning desired by these cities, their development and actions cannot be envisaged exclusively on the scale of a single urban area. A process of functional polycentric metropolisation is necessary for the construction of a metropolitan trajectory for these cities. This process calls for a territory with a metropolitan vocation to be seen as a territorial system with superior functions that allow it to specialise within a network of cities with a continental or regional minimum. The implementation of these options, as applied to Moroccan cities, will have to be assessed in the light of the necessary consideration of the Moroccan originality in terms of morphological polycentricity, which presents cities in pairs. This observation invites the territorial actors to situate themselves in relation to this specificity and make it evolve towards a polycentricity with perspectives based on functional complementarities. 52 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book addresses (I) political transformations, especially those related to the sovereignty of states and their relations; (II) economic transformations, especially the 'financialization' of capitalism that gives rise to productive reorganization on a global scale, raising the importance of foreign trade and maritime transport; and (III) social transformations, highlighting the changes in the labor market, dialectically related to the intensification of globalization. The degree of understanding about globalization and its influences is deepened through the analysis of international regimes, mainly the security regime, and its normative instruments that aim at giving some stability to the capitalist system in the world.

It also seeks to understand the insertion of Brazil in this new world order through the analysis of the country's adherence to the ISPS Code. The Port of Aratu-Candeias and the Port of Salvador were chosen as analysis units. 116 pp. Englisch.…
