Fetal alcohol syndrome, a disease very little known in Sub-Saharan Africa. A real threat to the survival of children. Malformations, abortions, weak children, premature births, low birth weight newborns, stillbirths are often encountered in our maternities. Did we take care to look for the causes? The alcoholism of the pregnant woman is certainly not the only cause, but it contributes to swell the ranks of these pathologies.

Educating a human child is a very different activity from, for example, training an animal, be it our beloved dog or a 'trained dog'. Education is the great challenge of every generation of humanity throughout the ages. It is education that ensures the transmission of science, know-how and good manners. It is through education that societies preserve from generation to generation the values and knowledge acquired by their elders. It is education that also ensures the progress of societies by opening the minds and hearts of the young people of each generation to new challenges. We might ask ourselves whether today's world needs the thoughts of John Dewey and Jacques Maritain. Are they outdated, or can these authors, who are classics in the philosophy of education, still speak to our educators who live in a different era?

Current education has been defined as a permanent learning process, where two major areas are recognized: the academic and the emotional, where the latter has had a greater relevance in recent times, specifically in relation to the emotional competencies that are manifested during the educational process and that can be known and valued by teachers.In Chile, both in initial teacher education (ITE) and during the development of the teaching profession, there should be programs, workshops or improvement courses that allow teachers to develop skills to know and manage their own emotional competencies as individuals, in order to be able to recognize the emotional competencies of their students. Due to what has been described above, the objective of this book is to understand the evaluations that high school teachers have about the emotional competencies of their students, recognizing that these competencies are necessary for an optimal development of the teaching-learning process, thus promoting emotionally aware educational centers.

Astrotourism is considered a special interest tourism because it unites science, culture and leisure, where its main objective is to provide meaningful experiences, while at the same time providing knowledge about the celestial vault. Chile is one of the pioneer countries in developing and providing services related to astrotourism, so the research considers this case as an object of study. Nowadays, new trends and tourist preferences force the providers of this activity to innovate, project themselves and offer new alternatives that generate experiences. To achieve this goal, astrotourism has been proposed in the city of Cuenca, in the Guagualzhumi hill, a place with a lot of history and culture, which also has its own elements for this activity, such as a viewpoint that lends itself to the observation of the celestial vault. This work, through a quantitative study, presents the degree of acceptance and preferences of national and foreign tourists interested in this activity.

Education systems in sub-Saharan African countries in general, and Cameroon in particular, have deteriorated in the face of various economic crises and the working, reception and living conditions of the main educational players in the teaching/learning environment, namely teachers. The absence of curricula based on inclusive practices for all learners in teacher training, the lack of facilities conducive to integrated and inclusive learning interactions, the absence of a vision of alternative and inclusive education conducive to success, and the unsuitability of the proposed innovations and pedagogical approaches (new pedagogical approach, skills-based approach, flipped classroom, etc.), are proposed by an administrative hierarchy cut off from the reality of a traditional environment in its structures and the furniture used to accommodate learners... This book is therefore a general appeal to all those involved in the learning environment as educators, but also to all the players and partners in the educational community. It is part of the field of Education Sciences.

This book is the result of research carried out as part of a final year project for a Master's degree in Didactics. It focuses on the effectiveness of flashcard strategies in the teaching/learning of vocabulary in FLE situations among Algerian learners, more specifically those in the second middle year at the BOUAZZA Belkacem secondary school in the town of Saïda. We carried out a questionnaire aimed at FLE teachers, with the aim of finding out their attitudes to the effectiveness of this technique. The results were reinforced by an experiment we carried out with the same learners.

Adentrando also on issues such as Direction of Photography and the psychology of colours, this work is directed to students and professionals of cinema, communication, and lovers of the seventh art in general. To all, a good reading!

The threat to natural resources, especially available water resources, is a cause for concern. Thus the need arises for studies that address the forms of appropriation of these territorial spaces in order to discipline the activities potentially harmful to the environment, and to promote appropriate forms of use of spaces in accordance with their capacity for use. To this end, tools are used that can assist in environmental management to promote the improvement of municipal environmental conditions. Within this context, the present research aimed to apply the procedures of thematic mapping with the use of Geographic Information System (GIS), at a scale of 1:10,000, in order to subsidize the decision making in environmental planning of the Micro Hydrographic Basin of Rio Maior, belonging to the Urussanga River Hydrographic Basin, located in the extreme south of Santa Catarina.

It also provides methods used in the follow-up to correct anomalies in each of the cases presented, such as unbalance, soft foot, misalignment, mechanical clearances and bearing failures.

Introduction: Mindfulness-based interventions and positive psychology are the subject of much psychological research. Both approaches have been shown to improve quality of life and reduce anxiety, depression and ruminative symptoms (Kabat-Zinn, 1982; Lyubomirsky, 2008). The literature now tells us that chronic illnesses can encourage the emergence of this type of symptomatology (Thombs et al., 2006) and have an impact on patients' quality of life (Erpelding et al., 2009). Objective: In this study, we propose to evaluate the effect of these two types of approach on quality of life, anxiety, depression and ruminations in a population of patients with chronic illness. Method: A total of 8 participants suffering from chronic illness were divided into two groups. Results: Statistical analysis revealed no significant effect of the two interventions on the variables measured. Conclusion: Despite the lack of significance, our results are encouraging.

Rapid-cycling bipolar disorder (RCBD) is a particularly severe progressive modality. It is a poorly individualized entity. The profile of patients with this clinical specification is poorly defined, and therapeutic remedies are poorly codified. The aim of our work was to make a descriptive assessment of the sociodemographic, clinical and therapeutic characteristics of patients with TBCR, and to compare them with those of other patients with bipolar disorder.We conducted a retrospective, descriptive and comparative cross-sectional study of hospitalized patients divided into two groups: patients with rapid cycling and those without rapid cycling (TBNCR).Identifying patients at risk of developing rapid cycles and preventing their onset requires knowledge of the associated characteristics, and the adoption of a bio-psycho-social approach aimed at optimizing treatment and socio-professional reintegration.

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT COLORS OF MULCHING ON THE INCIDENCE AND DAMAGE OF THRIPS, Frankliniella schultzei (Trybom), IN THE TOMATO CROP. The tomato thrips, is among the main pests of the tomato crop, causing serious economic losses. The damages are due to thrips feeding, causing lesions and transmitting the tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), known as "tomato spotted head turner", causing a high cost in the control and developing resistance to insecticides, due to the need of sequential spraying. The present work aimed to evaluate the influence of ultraviolet rays reflected from different types of mulching materials used in tomato crops on thrips under field conditions.

Today, leadership and organizational culture are regarded as the pillars of employee motivation and commitment. However, it has been observed that many business leaders neglect these elements in favor of authoritarian management. Such a situation fails to instill in employees a sense of belonging and a general interest in their work and the company's well-being. A stable, strong and appropriate culture is encouraged and required in today's companies. According to research, leadership helps build this culture. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of transformational leadership on the organizational culture of service companies. The study was conducted within a financial institution. The results show that transformational leadership has a positive effect on culture. This work is intended for all service company managers seeking organizational effectiveness and employee commitment, researchers and students conducting or leading research in the field of Management and Leadership.

Sedentary behaviour and poor eating habits are associated with the development of chronic low-grade inflammation, which is a metabolic process characteristic of several chronic degenerative and/or non-transmissible diseases (CNCDs), including cancer. For this reason, the scientific community has discussed the application of physical exercise (PE) as a non-pharmacological strategy for cancer prevention. Physical exercise significantly reduces the risk of some cancers (colon, prostate, lung, breast, among others). There are several benefits of PE aimed at the prevention of this pathology, including: improved hemoglobin levels, better weight control, increased immune system, increased activity of Natural Killers cells, etc. Among the various attributions of the Physical Education Professional, health promotion and disease prevention may be the most important practices related to these professionals. Therefore, the importance of these professionals regarding the prophylactic factors related to cancer.

The coastal zone of the Commune of Kafountine is at risk of marine erosion as a result of climate change combined with anthropogenic pressure. The aim of this study is to analyze coastal erosion and its impacts. The methodology is based on a diachronic analysis of coastline evolution using a series of four Landsat satellite images (1979, 1986, 2000 and 2015) and field data. Between 1979 and 1986, the results showed a general trend towards progradation. On the other hand, during the periods 1986-2000 and 2000-2015, the coastline showed contrasting trends, marked by retreating and advancing phases. This dynamic is the result of coastal development and climate change. The resulting impacts are both environmental and socio-economic. This situation has prompted the population to undertake adaptation strategies based on mangrove reforestation and coastal dune fixation, with the support of state structures and NGOs, which are deemed insufficient in a context of permanent change. It is obvious to suggest a few recommendations with a view to sustainable management.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease of unknown cause, which presents with weakness in the limbs or difficulties in speaking or swallowing, which may be associated with a high nutritional risk. Currently there is no cure, so it is approached in a multidisciplinary manner with both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, including nutritional interventions. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the relationship between diet composition and the risk of developing ALS and the evolution of ALS once established. Nutrients and foods that favored the development of ALS (red meat), decreased the risk (antioxidants) and had no effect (mercury), foods and nutrients that favored the progression of the disease (intake deficit) and reduced it (antioxidants) were observed. In conclusion, diet composition and intake of certain micronutrients and foods seem to influence the initial development and progression of ALS.

Better coordination of PNANSS II activities by stakeholders would contribute to improving impacts at community and school level. The "child-community" approach, which is a participatory approach, encourages students to use the knowledge they have acquired in class or through surveys and observations, to sensitize their families, friends and the community to adopt responsible behavior in terms of WASH, health and nutrition. The 3 strategies of PNANSS II will be implemented by the school community and stakeholders under the supervision of MEN, ONN and MINSANP. This PNANSS II document is the fruit of collaboration between the Ministry of National Education, the NSB and the support of other sectors and partners. It aims, in the long and short term, to develop PNANSS school models that are less dependent on external resources.

If the idea is to transform the look of your home or office and still leave your city with a landscape a little more pleasant, the green roofs deserve your attention. Installed on roofs of residences, offices and any other type of construction, the green roofs allow the implantation of soil and vegetation in a waterproofed layer over the constructions. The costs of this application may vary considerably according to the system adopted and the labour available, but there are already companies that manufacture modules that facilitate the implantation and make the choice more viable. In addition to beauty, which has everything to please, the low thermal inertia of the earth and the water coming from the vegetables on the roof generate properties which improve the quality of life of users.

In an ever-changing world, the profitability of companies is no longer the sole concern of management. Under pressure from the media, a growing number of companies are incorporating a social responsibility component. Indeed, a company's image and its impact on the world are now inseparable from its growth and profitability. Many articles mention the link between CSR and corporate performance, without establishing a direct connection between the two. The aim of this book is to examine how CSR can influence the various financial indicators of SBF120 companies. In the first part, we examine the theory behind these two concepts. In the second part, we use SPSS software to analyze financial data and ESG disclosure scores gathered from Bloomberg, a source of information for financial market professionals. The third section illustrates the difficulty of establishing a direct correlation between all financial indicators and the CSR projects symbolized by the evolution of ESG variables.

Over the past few decades, the phenomenon of child soldiers has attracted the sustained attention of governments, international organizations and civil society. The focus has been on gaining a better understanding of the extent and reasons for this sad reality, before drawing up standards designed to protect child soldiers. The international standards thus developed, initially rooted in international human rights law, targeted governments and non-state armed groups as much as individuals, and set out the prohibition on recruiting and using child soldiers. But all these standards have remained theoretical, and thousands of children continue to be recruited in the eastern DRC. This is why we thought that the status of child soldiers, once clearly defined, would enable them to benefit from a double preferential treatment, namely that reserved for POWs under IHL prescriptions in their capacity as captured combatants or hostages, on the one hand, and that reserved for children by the Geneva Convention: special protection in their capacity as vulnerable persons, on the other.

In today's increasingly competitive business environment, organizations are taking sometimes difficult measures to ensure their survival. In this respect, they do not hesitate to freeze employee salaries in a bid to balance their budgets. However, wage freezes can also have a negative impact on employee motivation. The aim of this book is to propose a conceptual model that can lead to empirical research to explain the impact of wage freezes on employee motivation, and the consequences of this measure in terms of intent to quit and absenteeism. The present study can serve as a springboard for a review of empirical data to test the research proposals formulated. The question is: how can organizations motivate their employees in a context of wage freezes? This book seeks to answer this research question. We have formulated twelve research proposals and managerial recommendations for each of them. This book is intended for employees, researchers, managers, governments and anyone interested in this topic.

This is a composition of observations and citations from authors and institutions working in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Ecology, and Engineering, which bring contributions to decrease the temperature of the oceans.The intention is to present these contributions, from the cited areas of science, in a single document, because most of them are scattered and separated in the various research media.We highlight the studies of algae, diatoms, and tailings from the foundry industry and agro-industry, as nutrients for diatoms.The study made it possible to raise some important aspects in exploringnew ways to contain the temperature increase of the oceans, through the biochemical action of phytoplanktonbiochemical action of phytoplankton organisms, such as algae and diatoms.The bibliographical consultations allowed us to observe that there is a great concern with global warming.

One of the fields of action of people management is people development. This work presents general topics about civil construction, as well as particularities related to the process of people management and attributions, including the courses, training and qualification required for the professional planning technician. The general objective is to analyze the training of these professionals in the construction and assembly market. Its structure is based on five chapters and has as its theoretical reference the ideas of Chiavenato on human resources management and analyzes the field research carried out with the participation of 23 companies in the sector where important characteristics of the market, technical requirements, courses, training and other skills were verified.

This is a descriptive, observational, cross-sectional and retrospective study carried out in the Transfusion Transmissible Infections Laboratory (ITT) of the Hemotherapy and Immunohematology Unit of the General Hospital of Acute Diseases Juan. A. Fernández General Hospital belonging to the GCABA.The purpose of this work is to study the average prevalence of the mandatory screening diseases in blood and platelet donors, in accordance with the requirements of the National Blood Law and its regulations.This study, which was carried out on 44244 first-time donations made during the period 2006-2017, allows characterizing such population according to the variables sex, age, place of residence and origin according to birth of the Donors.This provides new health knowledge for the prevention and detection of TTI cases, leading to preventive interventions for new cases and access to specific treatment and follow-up for those affected. It is also useful for planning the necessary resources for this type of intervention.

The book deals with the study and design of a multi-agent simulation model based on a concurrent process environment. The aim is to design a distributed simulation model under a concurrent process language, in particular Erlang, and to analyze its feasibility, with a view to achieving a higher level of complexity. Our approach is to show that this model can be adapted to the types of applications that enable us to monitor the evolution of a fish population in space and time in the face of multiple environmental disturbances. The first is to propose a new multi-agent design model in this process environment. The second is to adapt the model to the application context, so that it can be validated with a real example. This work will be partly based on the model initiated in the Rapsodie project, which has shown certain limitations linked to a slow simulation speed and rapid saturation due to the cumbersome nature of the chosen simulation tool (Cormas).
