The level of knowledge about nosocomial infections is an essential component in the enhancement of measures to combat nosocomial infections and in the development of effective preventive and curative strategies. The aim of this study is to describe the knowledge, attitudes and practices of students in the Nursing Care stream with regard to healthcare-associated infections. It is a cross-sectional study, using a self-administered questionnaire, which took place between February and June 2019. One hundred and fifty-nine students (n=159) were surveyed. The mean score for general knowledge was 3.42 ± 1.50. The mean score for knowledge of attitudes and practices was 11.50 ± 3.42. The average total score was 14.92 ± 5.007. The total score was better for students who had received training in nosocomial infections (P¿0 .05). The Multi-skilled Nurse option recorded the best knowledge scores compared with the other options in the pathway. The definition of nosocomial infection and the mode of transmission by hand were ignored by more than half of the students.

This work deals with public policies to promote entrepreneurship in the field of creative industries, focusing on economic activities of cultural-religious base.Creative industries include sectors where the final production results in cultural goods of consumption or technological content. The research locus of this work is the municipality of Juazeiro do Norte/CE, since this municipality has a relevant set of creative professionals who direct their work to a religious theme. In view of these aspects, the author of this work was motivated by an investigation guided by the following starting question: What is the content and adequacy of public policies for the promotion of entrepreneurship within the scope of cultural-religious based creative industries activities? The theory chosen as reference for the study was the Eclectic Theory of Entrepreneurship, which considers economic, social, and political factors as determinants of entrepreneurial activity. The methodology of the work is qualitative in nature, operationalized by focus groups and qualitative interviews, with information analyzed using the content analysis technique.

The book that we have the honour of submitting to the kind attention of our readers has the following main objectives: - to make our contribution to the scientific debate on the understanding of issues relating to the concepts and evaluation of public policies; - to provide the general public with a tool for explaining and popularising the basic concepts relating to public policies; - to help highlight the need to take account of sectoral specificities when evaluating public policies. Its content reviews the sensitive contours of the public policy issue (i); proposes a conceptual inventory of public innovation policies (ii); examines the singularities of public innovation policies with regard to digital technology (iii); and, discusses the conditions of specific applicability to information technologies of the instruments for evaluating public innovation policies (iiii).

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) represent a major problem for patient safety. Their prevention is fundamentally based on standard hospital hygiene precautions. Training in these precautions is the cornerstone of all HCAI prevention and control programs. Medical simulation is a teaching method used for training, training evaluation and risk management. It facilitates the anchoring of knowledge and the acquisition of individual and collective safety reflexes. Simulation in the form of a "room of errors" (ROE) aims to provide warning signals by showing the pitfalls to be avoided, in order to reduce undesirable events and promote vigilance in the face of errors. By adopting a risk management approach, CDE enables learners to better learn and memorize simulated events. This could improve the training of health science students in the prevention of healthcare-associated infectious risks.

Among the abilities that enable human beings to form themselves integrally are their understanding of reality and their adaptation to this reality in order to transform it; but for these actions to be carried out, the application of cognitive processes is necessary. In this context, the aim of this study was to establish critical reading as a mechanism that enables B2 students to develop their intellectual abilities and at the same time enrich their communicative competence. The instruments used for data collection included direct and participant observation, interviews, questionnaires, tests, notes and workshops. The information was analysed using the inductive technique, with the following results: the cognitive processes most involved in critical reading, the means or strategies used by students to arrive at an in-depth analysis of the text and the benefits of reading directed towards critical thinking.

Writing a thesis, dissertation or even a doctoral dissertation often poses serious problems for students and researchers at different levels and in different fields. For any student, preparing a dissertation (or a final paper, or a DEA dissertation or a thesis) is the beginning of a major effort. It's like entering a new world, a new environment that requires adaptation. Because doing research means trying to understand your new environment by deploying certain methods.The finalist student is expected to produce "valid knowledge", and he or she must constantly be able to explain how it was produced. They must be able to defend their ideas. Hence he must gradually adopt a certain attitude towards what he has to put forward and the means he has used to achieve it.

The main objective of the book is to guarantee patient safety in intensive care with the implementation of good practices of nursing professionals, avoiding adverse events and errors in nursing. That the students of the Bachelor's Degree in Nursing learn how to perform these procedures in these complex services for the care of critically ill patients.

With the rapid technological and industrial development that the world has seen, particularly in construction technology with these huge oil platforms in the depths of the ocean or desert. This requires an adequate load-bearing structural system, capable of distributing forces from one level to another until they reach the foot of the structure, known as the foundation. The important role of deep foundations in transmitting service loads from the superstructure to the deep soil bearing layers has prompted the use of empirical and semi-empirical methods for the axial bearing capacity design of a pile. Alternatively, artificial neural networks (ANNs) have recently been used to predict the ultimate capacity of piles based on in situ tests. Very recently, several researchers have successfully used the RNAs artificial neural network approach for the development of integrated models in conjunction with other probabilistic and evolutionary methods.

An epidemiological, cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study of 150 women aged 18 to 85 years, residing in Berkane, was conducted. The data collected from a questionnaire including sociodemographic, anthropometric, and biological characteristics were processed and analyzed. Our study population had an average age of 50.3 years (standard deviation = 12.02 years), BMI of 30.36 kg.m-2 (±7.3), the incidence of diabetes was 25% with only 45% of diabetics being on treatment, and 24% having a balanced hba1c. The incidence of overall hypertension was 54%, with 39% of hypertensives undergoing treatment for hypertension. Multivariate analysis showed significant associations (P

The diversification of contents in Physical Education classes is a controversial issue in the academic environment. This study aimed to identify the contents that are being developed in the classes of the final years of elementary education, the interest of students in diversified contents and the importance given to this diversification in their education. A structured questionnaire was applied to 905 students from six schools of the municipal network of Teutônia/RS. Sixth and seventh grade students believe in the importance of the diversification of contents for their education (50.09%), while the eighth and ninth grades do not have the same conviction (38.14%). The contents preferred by the students coincide with those most practiced in the classes: Soccer, Futsal and Volleyball. It is concluded that there is no variety of contents in the classes and also there is no interest of the students in this diversification, showing more interest for the conventional practices. Further studies are needed to deepen the theme and discover the reasons for this preference, since a structured questionnaire is limited for this type of discovery.

The fig has been a typical fruit component of the Mediterranean diet for a very long time. Since it is a seasonal fruit with a perishable aspect, it must be preserved in its dry form which can be obtained by several drying processes namely sun, oven and microwave drying. Several investigations were interested in the study of the influence of these drying processes on the quality attributes of this fruit whether it is physicochemical, nutritional, phytochemical and especially on the antioxidant activity. The dried fig proved to be a fruit rich in nutrients as well as bioactive substances such as total polyphenols, flavonoids and anthocyanins which contribute to its very important antioxidant power.

Claude Debussy is considered the great revolutionary of the musical language and marked the dawn of the modern era. For this, he baptized himself as an impressionist, because he innovated the music of his predecessors, modifying the system of functional tonalities. That is why we tried to understand the spirit of the composer, his style of piano writing and his innovative contribution. In addition, the composer made a return to some old forms where he put all his new musical material. Among these forms we can mention the instrumental suite, which he treated in his own way and to which he liberated the pre-established rules. This is how he was able to build up a repertoire for the art of piano playing.

This end-of-study theoretical reflection, originally presented as part of an internship report, is set in the Czech Republic. It describes the evolution of the notion of historical heritage in this country. Unlike France, where the principle of the historic monument was enshrined in law as early as 1913, it has taken longer to develop the concept of historical heritage. This article looks at the Czech notion of historical heritage and its evolution in a turbulent institutional context, from the proclamation of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to the present day. Finally, the author raises the question of the future economic, technological and social implications of heritage valorization.

The issue of copyright ownership in cinematographic works became controversial in Canada in 1993 during the preparation of Bill C-115, the implementation of the North American Free Trade Agreement: the federal government proposed that the director be the author of the cinematographic work and that the producer be the first owner of copyright in the work. The massive opposition of authors prevented the adoption of this proposal and the Canadian legislator chose instead to maintain the status quo with respect to this category of work: the cinematographic work is still, under the Copyright Act, considered a dramatic work and the author is the person who created it. The particularity of the audiovisual or cinematographic work comes from the fact that it involves a plurality of authors who collaborate in the creation of the common work. On the international scene, the notion of author, for this category of work, has evolved according to opposite principles according to whether it is a "copyright" country or a "copyright" country.

The country is considered the motherland of parliamentarism, a global empire in the 19th century, and ultimately a victorious power in World War II and a world power in the postwar era. There is the glitz and glamour of the monarchy, the gentleman's example, British humor and a pragmatism. But there is also the Brexit. The English Channel separates the country from the continent, and the island has always had a special role in Europe. The study is divided into history, Westminster democracy, autonomy of Wales and Scotland, the Northern Ireland conflict, the tax haven, school system, UK and Europe, UK in world politics and society in the UK.

The purpose of this book is to prepare the student of the Special Education career for the use of the essential resources and methodologies that must be mastered about language, speech and voice disorders in logopedic practice Due to the value that language has for the cognitive, communicative development and the formation of the personality in general, demands that more and more emphasis be placed on its stimulation and development from education. Hence the importance of the work of the special educator, who guides, directs, and controls the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of language disorders, both in the regular and specialized educational context, as well as family guidance and follow-up, due to its broad scope. Action field.

The book brings a playful approach as a primordial point in pediatric physiotherapeutic treatment, which seeks subsidies in the fields of psychology and pedagogy, so that from these perspectives the professionals in question can add playfulness to their treatments for children and adolescents. Since in this perspective the child is motivated to participate effectively in therapy. This interventionist study enables physiotherapy students to practice the art of playing in their treatments, using play as a therapeutic resource. Thus, the instrument of playing is not seen as a form of subordination or reward for the child in therapy, after all, playing is considered as a prerequisite for healthy development, besides enabling a communication link between therapist and patient. For pediatric physiotherapy, there is still immeasurable need for research on this topic, as well as transfer of information / training for physiotherapists. However, this subject holds a valuable therapy, standing out as promising and innovative for clinical applicability.

The Mbosi, a large ethno-linguistic Bantu group living in the northern part of Congo (Brazzaville) have been able to cultivate and develop, throughout their history, a vast universe of values structuring a civilization that places them at the center of the group and intimately links them to the other Bantu peoples of Congo: Kongo, Teke, Maka. Supported by a virile language and a social organization that balances matrilineality and patrilineality, this civilization, which was destructured by French colonization, remains, however, embedded in the vast sum of Bantu civilizations of Central, Eastern and Southern Africa. In the present work, Joseph ITOUA who draws his inspiration from some rare publications on the subject, but especially from his direct observation and oral accounts and, regretting the little interest of the African researchers on this civilization, commits himself to make discover the most significant elements of these founding values of the Mbosi civilization.

In aviation, the term "safety" is related to preventive and reactive resources for flight safety, against accidents and incidents. For this reason, it is essential that airports have a Firefighting and Rescue Service. The aerodrome operator has the mission to apply the resources, comply with the legislation and keep this service on standby according to local needs. The problem is how to maintain service efficiency and avoid possible impacts on airport management. The justification occurs because it is an activity where the focus is to save human lives, all investment and planning are insignificant before such a noble mission. The objective of this study is to identify the importance that these services, even without much public visibility, have for the operation of airports and their possible negative impacts on airport management.

There is a good diversity of innovative methodologies for sharing technology and knowledge. However, it is strategic to choose the one that is most appropriate for the type of audience you want to reach. Whenever possible, it is essential to involve the target audience in technology sharing actions through collective construction, so that they are also protagonists of the process and not just objects of the actions. The different actors involved in the agricultural and livestock sector need to understand objectively the need to strengthen the "organizational networks" and act in an articulated manner to this end, which are powerful tools to promote the sharing of technologies and the construction of new knowledge.

Through this research, we want to provide actors in the democratic process and governance at the grassroots with a working tool. This instrument aims to promote a broad association of Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) with local public policies in order to entrench democracy at the local level and promote local governance. We have identified three (03) specific objectives related to our research, namely: to contribute to the adhesion of citizens to civil society organizations and to the reinforcement of their status; to propose measures to reinforce the means of financing civil society organizations; and finally, to determine the adequate mechanisms of evaluation of the performance of civil society organizations.

Long considered "too big to fail", financial conglomerates pose a large number of risks to the entire international financial system, due to the concentration of financial and insurance activities that characterizes them. Indeed, resulting from the overlapping of credit institutions, investment firms and insurance companies, financial conglomerates are at the heart of the problem of the assessment of the effectiveness of the regulation exercised by the public authorities on the financial sector. The concentration of risks within these powerful cross-sectoral financial groups requires a state framework that is perfectly suited to the very nature and specificities of these entities. However, the globalization of the economy as well as the interconnection of international financial markets have led to the geographical extension of companies acting on the credit, securities and insurance markets. Given the scope of this phenomenon, the supervision of financial conglomerates must be aimed primarily at maintaining international financial security.

The development of new techniques for exploring vertigo has considerably facilitated its diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. Among these new techniques, videonystagmography (VNG) occupies a place of choice. It allows the vestibular system to be studied in real time by observing the eye. The results are presented in the form of graphs and numerical values provided automatically. The interpretation is based on the analysis of all the results. Thus, these results associated with the clinical data make it possible to have an etiological orientation in front of any vertigo. In conclusion, any practitioner who wants to be a specialist in vertigo should acquire a VNG. But, a first knowledge of the anatomophysiological bases is essential in order to know how to direct and interpret the tests.

A lot of knowledge is lost in Africa due to lack of transmission, which does not favor the conservation of resources by local populations. In addition, these populations hold a great deal of knowledge about the use of resources. The aim of the study is to provide information on the use value, morphological variability and germination ability of P. nitida seeds. To achieve this, 240 informants, randomly selected from 04 socio-cultural groups namely Fon, Goun, Nago, Aïzo were surveyed. The results reveal that the local populations of the four socio-cultural groups use the roots, barks, leaves and seeds of P. nitida for 21 treatments. The Goun sociocultural group has a better knowledge of the uses of the species. The study of phenotypic variability yielded 03 fruit morphotypes and 05 seed morphotypes. Class 2, consisting mainly of fruits from Adjarra, is longer, wider, thicker and heavier. The germination of the seed morphotypes on simple substrate was negative. The species therefore has a natural regeneration problem.

Positive law is still considered in many respects today as the supreme reference for order in society. But at this threshold formalism in legal procedures leads to exactions of law. This book poses the problem of the self-referentiality of positive law.
