Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Nakhchivan region is located in a geostrategic territory, which has always been within the circle of interests of neighboring states and major powers. One of the most important issues facing modern Azerbaijani historiography is to study the history of diplomacy, analyze the lives and activities of diplomats who played an important role in the history of Azerbaijan. The Nakhchivan region, which historically gave outstanding personalities to Azerbaijan, is also the birthplace of a number of outstanding diplomats. None of the Nakhchivan political and state figures mentioned here had diplomatic education. But the situation in which they found themselves, the unjust claims on Nakhchivan made them diplomats.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -To know where we want to go, we need to know who we are and where we come from. This book seeks to situate the reader in terms of the work of the military police in Brazil, using the state of Paraná as a case study, which has a police force that has been in existence for over 160 years. We sought to understand the day-to-day life of the police, working hours, equipment and professional training so that we could analyse the effects of this peculiar activity in the world in terms of possible losses and gains in terms of physical performance, concentration, shooting performance and high-intensity interval training due to some specific aspects such as sleep deprivation during work, night shifts, extra weight in equipment and loaded weapons. It was noted that research in this field is little explored in Brazil and that it is also a fertile field for understanding military police activity and seeking strategies suited to the demands of the activity with a view to more efficient performance in training and preparation for police action.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This manuscript addresses the problem of the vocational option in basic education (CEF-Cursos de Educação e Formação, Ensino Vocacional). Although these courses help to reduce school failure and drop-out rates, the research emphasises that CEFs are more advantageous than the (ideological) vocational option. However, the CEFs cannot continue to feed the needs of the school without taking into account the preferences and profile of the students, nor can they be stigmatising from the point of view of an opportunity to reconcile with the school, when students are placed in a kind of storage room as if they were the refuse of the school or in a ghetto for the problematic and those born into the arms of society's misfortune.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 104 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -With the advent of market transformations and the emergence of new management models, organisations have realised the importance of the environmental aspect. Nowadays, the environmental degradation caused to the environment is no longer acceptable, after all, it is from the environment that the material inputs that become goods to be consumed are extracted. Therefore, it is inseparable that goods and services are possible to meet current needs, but at the same time, a compatible balance must be sought that allows future generations to also enjoy this right. Therefore, this work presents a brief perception of the environmental paradigm, within the studies carried out, and encourages discussions on the subject.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Soil contamination by heavy metals is a serious environmental problem resulting from industrial activities. Soil is usually contaminated by the decantation of waste produced by industrial and domestic effluents, generally releasing chromium, cadmium, arsenic, barium, mercury and lead. Among these heavy metals, lead and cadmium have received the most scientific research due to the high levels of contamination found in some Brazilian states. Phytoremediation has proved to be a viable alternative for treating these contaminated soils. In this sense, the use of castor bean genotypes could help develop programmes and projects aimed at decontaminating medium and large areas contaminated by the heavy metals cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb).VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -This book shows that the environmental productivity of energy sources, from a global perspective, can help the planet in a virtuous transition of the global energy matrix from its current composition, with a preponderance of conventional fossil energy sources, to renewable energy systems, provided that policymakers can align energy policies with minimum environmental productivity requirements. The author argues that it is important to help decision-makers and energy users understand the general sense of 'ecological footprints' and the planet's limits in regenerating ecosystems. In order to reduce pressure on the atmosphere and the biosphere, this book also discusses that it is essential that public energy prices reflect the real costs incurred.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Many cities have been consolidated in a disorganised way, with no balance between green spaces and buildings. Trees provide shade, regulate the climate, make environments more welcoming, capture pollutants from the air and prevent flooding in waterproofed cities. However, for cultural reasons, they are considered negative by the population: leaves clog gutters, roots destroy pavements, trunks and tops get in the way of wires and, above all, they are susceptible to falls. This book consists of six chapters, the first of which is a brief introduction to the subject. The second provides a broad overview of the influence of climatic variables on tree falls in Piracicaba/SP/Brazil, with an emphasis on wind. Regions where falls are concentrated and the vulnerability of species are identified. The third chapter quantifies the Leaf Area Index (LAI) for different street trees, which was the basis for conducting the next four and five case studies using microclimate simulations with ENVI-met v3.1 software, in order to understand the behaviour of the area under predefined conditions. The final chapter summarises the main findings. Venture forth!VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The agroecology proposal is complex and the interests at first appear to be contradictory. The challenge is to promote a transformation that goes beyond considering agroecology merely as a differentiated production strategy for family farmers. The Várzeas de Sousa Irrigated Perimeter is an initiative of the Paraíba State Government with the aim of boosting and dynamising agriculture in its area of influence, with positive effects on the state economy through actions aimed at developing agricultural and agro-industrial activities. The research universe was made up of producers in the Várzeas de Sousa Irrigated Perimeter District (PIVAS), which currently has 178 plots in operation, of which 173 are small producers. Twelve interviews were carried out among the producers chosen at random. The work was also based on a theoretical review of family farming and agroecology. The term 'agroecology' is widespread among farmers, but a small minority are still unaware of it, and it is similar to the organic practices adopted, where most of them say they use organic fertiliser.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -The use of applications that connect to the internet has grown considerably. Among them is the WhatsApp® application, which in addition to various features that facilitate communication, has a keyboard on its platform that has digital signs called Emojis. The centrepiece of this work is the non-verbal language used in the application in question, through the use of Emojis. The aim was to understand how users utilise this communication tool in order to make digital text more expressive. To this end, questionnaires were administered within the Google Drive Virtual Environment, with links sent via the WhatsApp® application itself and distributed throughout the virtual network.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -There are few studies combining ornamental sunflower cultivation with aspects of plant nutrition and soil fertility, so it is necessary to carry out research in this area in order to determine the parameters of fertiliser sources that are best suited to this crop. After analysing the nutrients and toxic elements contained in the aquatic macrophyte Egeria densa, it was found that there is potential for its use as an organic fertiliser and that the dried and partially decomposed macrophyte showed physical characteristics similar to those of commercial substrates, making it possible to use it in ornamental sunflower production and making it a sustainable alternative.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Teaching resources are essential tools in the teaching-learning process. In this case, games are an important and attractive methodology for students, as well as allowing teachers to diversify their lessons in order to make them more interesting, attractive and fun without losing their objective of building knowledge. To this end, a 'Population Genetics' board game was devised to address genotypic and phenotypic frequencies and the effect of evolutionary factors such as migration, mutation and natural selection. This methodology can be applied to secondary school students who already have a basic knowledge of genetics. In this way, it's possible to make it easier for the teacher to explain the content of Population Genetics and make it easier for the students to understand it in a fun and interactive way.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware -Living with the effects of drought is a challenge, especially for residents of arid and semi-arid regions where this phenomenon is present and routine. The Brazilian northeast is well acquainted with this reality. In an attempt to alleviate the population's situation, drought-fighting actions have emerged, including underground dams, which have emerged as an alternative for people to live with drought. This work was carried out by means of an exploratory approach pertinent to the local scenario of the multiple uses of underground dams in Bom Sucesso/PB, as well as mentioning the structural and non-structural elements of their installation, operation and maintenance. Presented in an original and didactic way, this work refers to the monograph developed by the authors at the Federal Rural University of the Semi-Arid (UFERSA, Pau dos Ferros/RN campus), contemplating technical-scientific explanations within an applied practical exploratory context.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 56 pp. Englisch.
