    If Pilate did not wash his hands before Jesus, then Judas is guilty. This essay attempts to reconstruct a perhaps plausible scenario based on a fact that has never been disqualified as historical: the washing of Pilate's hands. Judas, with respect to his fellow disciples, is comparable only before the death of Jesus, and it is in this historical context that his true stature is revealed.

    This book has been organised with the aim of disseminating the data relating to a Master's research project, the object of which is the school habitus of primary school pupils. The research is part of discussions on the process of schooling, in the relationship that is established between the school habitus, the practices of teachers and the students' families. The study is based on the concept of habitus from Pierre Bourdieu's theory. The question is: what is the contribution of out-of-school tasks mediated by the family and the school in the constitution of the school habitus of primary school children and its consequences for the pupils' schooling process? Thus, this research offers contributions to expanding knowledge about the characteristics of the school habitus of primary school students; whether this habitus is related to success in school performance and to what extent the family and the teacher contribute to the realisation of this habitus and its contributions to the success of the students' schooling. It is hoped that the results will contribute to future reflections on improving the schooling process through the school habitus.

    "While Marcos, the day's helper, was giving the children their caps so they could get ready for coffee, or helping them put them on, I followed him cautiously. When he had finished his task, he came towards me and said: - Auntie, it's missing! (Showing the bag full of caps) - No darling, it's left over. (Considering, who was correcting him) - No auntie, there were no heads left. (DIÁRIO DE BORDO, 05/10/2015)." Far from fixed, rigid and finished answers, we proposed this research in order to explore these everyday moments that are as unnoticed as learning. Therefore, sharpening the reader's sensitive gaze and putting them in the children's shoes is fundamental, because only by putting ourselves in their position will it be possible to understand them.

    Expand and share positive school management experiences that have shown good results in various states and municipalities across the country. Some good examples of interventions that could be replicated are: appointing school headmasters based on their performance and experience (rather than political appointments); paying bonuses to teachers and staff based on school performance; adapting state policies to specific local needs; sharing experiences and best practices; and highlighting the best performing schools. Brazil has huge challenges in getting its education system right.

    The interview is considered one of the most important tools in journalism. From it, reporters obtain the information they need to structure stories or reports. In order to build a narrative that presents credible information and is authoritative in its discourse, it is necessary to draw up a good script of questions, which will then be directed to the sources. Furthermore, using interviews requires professionals to adopt a series of attitudes that also contribute to the development of a quality journalistic product. It was with this in mind that Yago Moreira decided to put together a manual in which practice and theory merge to outline the paths that the interviewer must follow. In this book, he portrays the work of a search for journalists who are references in the art of interviewing - within the national scene. Challenges, strategies, recommendations and a great desire to extract answers that reveal the true self of any interviewee.

    In contemporary times, the protagonists of the doctor-patient relationship must be guided by respectful dialogue, considering, on the one hand, the professional with great scientific knowledge and, on the other, the patient as a biopsychosocial and spiritual being who seeks a solution to their suffering. The second half of the 20th century saw impressive scientific advances, which made previously unthinkable medical interventions feasible. However, at the same time as health professionals began to incorporate these advances into their practices, patients were no longer passive beings, obedient and submissive to the therapeutic proposals suggested by doctors. This new reality has introduced significant changes in the dynamics of the doctor-patient relationship, making it compulsory to adopt new rules of coexistence and the deliberative process proposed by bioethics is a valuable tool for revitalising intersubjective dialogue between health professionals and patients.

    Neither pectin nor the essential oils necessary to cover the demand generated mainly by the food and pharmaceutical sectors are produced in Colombia. For this reason, valencia orange peels from the producing region in the department of Cesar were used to obtain them and observe their application in the production of gels. Initially, essential oil was extracted by steam dragging and then pectin was extracted by acid hydrolysis in order to take maximum advantage of the by-product of the orange juice industry, which can later be used to obtain fertilizer or concentrated animal feed. This work aims to contribute to the agroindustrial development of the Colombian industry and especially of the Department of Cesar to increase the profitability of the processes, reduce the importation of these products and reduce the environmental impacts caused by the non-use of these residues.

    This book discusses the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) methods used for Class II Submerged Pit Mining (Sand). The study was carried out in the municipality of Redenção, Pará, Brazil. It is marked by a historical occupational context of logging and mineral extraction. Mining activity has been gaining ground in the municipality, causing significant changes and consequent environmental impacts. The fact that this activity is carried out without a responsible technician has reversible and irreversible environmental impacts. This led to the need to assess the environmental impacts from 2013 to 2016 using the techniques of overlay mapping, check-listing and interaction matrices. The aggravating factors of the environmental impacts were highlighted by the EIA techniques in the years 2013 to 2015, and with the overlay mapping technique it was possible to quantify the amount of illegally exploited area.

    The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the School Health Programme (PSE) in three public schools in the city of Três Rios - RJ, after one year of implementation. This evaluation compared the knowledge of hygiene principles reported by students from the three public schools (EPB), included in the PSE, and students from three public schools (EPC), which do not take part in the programme. The results of this study show that the PSE has contributed to the cultural integration of public school students in relation to hygiene, since published studies on this type of analysis describe superiority in EPCs compared to EPBs. The results also suggest that students from public schools, not included in the PSE, are being provided with the desired knowledge. The implementation of the PSE proved to be relevant in the short term for teaching hygiene habits in BPS and as a factor in diagnosing students' health conditions. In the long term, it is hoped that the PSE will become a factor of real importance for issues related to personal and collective hygiene.

    The aim of this study is to improve the energy efficiency of a rotational moulding production process, optimising the consumption of electricity and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) while maintaining the quality of the products produced. A practical investigation was carried out to monitor and understand the production process, and based on the theoretical framework, actions were proposed so that the objective could be achieved. The actions helped to define the process parameters, emphasising the furnace time, which was identified as the main cause of problems with non-conforming parts. From the results obtained, it was concluded that energy efficiency in a production process does not necessarily require high investment. In addition to the economic factors, the study enabled adjustments to be made to the internal procedures of the company sectors involved in the production process. The figures presented refer to the dollar exchange rate of R$ 3.25.

    The tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) has high potential for zootechnical exploitation because, as well as having highly prized meat, it can reach a commercial size of around 1kg in the first year of rearing in captivity. However, there is a lack of information on crude protein and its reduction with supplementation of limiting amino acids. Therefore, in this book I present the results of research carried out with the aim of determining the effects of crude protein levels and their reduction, with amino acid supplementation based on the ideal protein concept, in rations for tambaqui fry.

    The aim here is to demonstrate that emptiness, absence, the hollow or the invisible, perceived in contemporary art, are passwords or channels for reflection on the field of immanence. Emptiness in art can be related to an existential void that cuts through the subject and tries to take shape through artistic endeavour. This emptiness can be seen as the primordial lack seen in psychoanalytic theory. What at one moment is a continent, like the void that bathes the world, in the potter's metaphor is contained, embraced - as Romagnolo's hollow sculptures do - they embrace the void, and at another moment it is referenced, indicated - as in Regina Silveira's shadows. In my work, emptiness is the subject and the motif.

    This work presents a methodological proposal for teaching and learning the specific skills of handball that can guarantee a greater possibility of enjoyment and participation for players. This requirement arises from my work as a teacher in higher education, where I was able to see the need for changes in the methodologies applied to teaching the specific motor skills of handball, as I realised that the rigour of teaching technique, in a traditional way, did not reach the students' understanding of the practice and theory of the specific skills in an enjoyable way. The development of handball teaching, according to the proposition we advocate, contains three distinct but interconnected moments: playful, referential and technical.

    This study aims to discuss how stressful the work carried out in an Intensive Care Unit can be. When we talk about nurses, this stress takes on a greater dimension, as it is a profession that, as well as caring for the most seriously ill patients, deals with the pressure of coordinating a team of technicians and nursing assistants who also suffer from the high workload. On top of this, there is the ever-present inefficiency of material resources, and even personnel, to provide safe, quality care. Institutions must recognize the need for intervention so that this work becomes lighter and more rewarding, thus ensuring a better quality of life for nursing professionals.

    The hospital prescription can be defined as the first stage in the supply of medication to a hospitalised patient, and is part of a process that involves various professionals. It is seen as the first stage in a series of events within the medication procedure, which will result in safe or unsafe administration to the patient. It is considered one of the main sources of unexpected errors in the treatment of hospitalised patients. One development as a result of the digital age is the use of electronic prescribing, which among many functions aims to unify the phases of the medication supply procedure, thus reducing errors in each phase and consequently prescription errors. Electronic prescribing is where the healthcare professional uses software following an established pattern instead of manually writing the prescription on a prescription or model form.

    Despite the growing recognition by law and common sense that guaranteed access to adequate food from a nutritional, cultural and environmental point of view gives individuals a better chance of life, development and participation, as well as allowing moments of pleasure, social interaction and cultural strengthening around food practices, thousands of Brazilians still live in a situation of food inaccessibility. This book sets out to find out about the food security situation in the state's terreiro communities, with a view to the findings being able to guide public plans and actions, especially those that make food and nutritional security a reality among families. The book could serve as an instrument of empowerment for the inhabitants of terreiros, fostering greater knowledge and, consequently, their participation in demanding basic rights. This book is a pioneer in the state.

    In 2009, the National Council of Justice instituted nationwide strategic planning, stipulating mandatory targets for all the country's Courts of Justice. This study sought to understand the perceptions of judges and civil servants about the fulfilment of these goals, based on a study of the Rio de Janeiro State Court of Justice, and how this process influences the strengthening of strategic planning in this Court. Interviews were conducted with judges, justices, judges' secretaries, administrative directors and civil servants, all of whom work at the TJERJ. The results of the research show that although there is not widespread knowledge of the strategic planning in force, or even if the targets are not fully understood, the fact that they are being met is positive for the court's planning.

    A theoretical review of the topic was conducted and an attempt was made to understand, through the discourse of two female gender studies teachers working in the field of preschool education, their perceptions of the possibilities and role of fairy tales in this debate. The meanings attached by the preschool teachers who had more focused contact with gender relations in fairy tales were highlighted, and the main gender representations contained in classic fairy tales were identified and presented. Through interviews with educators, we tried to find out why it is important to think about gender from kindergarten onwards and how fairy tales contribute to these discussions. On the one hand, we will analyse how fairy tales play a role in the social life of children and how they can be deliberately used by teachers to discuss this topic.

    This book contains three articles which, despite having different formats, deal with translation. The first evaluates lexically creative items in Spanish translations of João Guimarães Rosa's novel, Grande Sertão: Veredas, more specifically the solutions found by the translators with regard to non-dictionary terms in the Spanish language, such as yagunzo and sertón, from a cultural point of view. The study is guided by Valentín García Yebra's theoretical reflections on translation, as well as the linguistic and translation theories of Antoine Berman and Georges Mounin. Also contributing to this article is the study carried out by Prof Dr Walnice Nogueira Galvão, in The Forms of the False; as well as Rosa's own testimonies recorded by Günter Lorenz. The second analyses how certain difficulties faced by translators when translating João Guimarães Rosa's Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) into Spanish were resolved, in terms of the author's different style, more specifically the use of the subjunctive and syntax. The third presents an annotated translation of Daniel Mayer's short story El Ángel.
