Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The aim of my work is to show that the field of tension between closeness and distance is an important part of social work. This aspect is particularly important in helping relationships. The right distance to the professional role, but also to the clients, is essential for effective professional action. The right balance of closeness and distance is essential for the success of a professional helping relationship and serves the professional's own protection. If there is an imbalance of closeness and distance, the helper can quickly become overburdened and overwhelmed. Without the right balance of closeness and distance, professional social work is hardly possible. A good middle way is necessary to create a boundary between the person and the professional role. In my work, it is extremely important to me to show opportunities for professionals that can promote a successful approach to the closeness-distance problem. Among many other skills, I have decided to explain reflexive competence and authenticity in more detail in my literature research.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Financial statements often do not reflect the market value of companies, and this difference between book value and market value is largely justified by the existence of intangible assets not recognized in company accounting. In the accounting literature, there are various methods for valuing internally generated intangible assets, such as the Lawrence R. Dicksee Method, the Hatfield Method, the New York Method, the Current Value of Surplus Profits, Replacement Cost or Current Cost, Economic Value, Realization Value, Excess of Economic Value over Current Value and the Residual Model for Valuing Intangible Assets, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. Through exploratory research, we identified, among the methods for measuring internally generated goodwill, the one that effectively represents (or is closest to) the value that the market is willing to pay for a given company's assets, considering that this difference stems from expectations of higher earnings based on surplus assets added to the entity. The research used data obtained from the accounting and financial statements.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book is the result of research carried out in the school of the Quilombola Community of Curiaú, in the city of Macapá, in the state of Amapá, Brazil. The main focus was to investigate the teaching and learning of mathematics in this school. We reflect on the perceptions of some researchers in Ethnomathematics, regarding the production and dissemination of knowledge, with regard to the history of black education, more specifically education in Quilombola Communities. To answer some of these questions, we reported on the work carried out by teachers at the community school. We interviewed teachers, school staff and rural workers in their work environment and analyzed the mathematical knowledge that exists in their work activities, checking how it happens and whether it is related to Law 10.639/03. The records made during the field activities served to confirm that different mathematical knowledges can be worked on by math teachers in the classroom, and that these knowledges produced by the workers in the community answer important existential questions for the cultural group in question.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This work arose out of the research for my Final Paper and is of great importance in the study of the National Textbook Program (PNLD) and its reflexes as a public policy in obtaining textbooks for the country's many public schools. It will provide the reader with a unique experience with regard to the Textbook, which is beginning to be reflected in teaching practice as well as in the teaching and learning process of students in the classroom.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book traces the evolution of ¿Anglicanism¿ from its origins in England, through the various twists and turns it has undergone to become today an international and universal Church, particularly from its introduction in the Democratic Republic of Congo, from Uganda, by the catechist Apolo Kivebulaya, who was its figurehead. In its first part, this book recounts the admirable and heroic evangelization and social missionary life and works of Apolo and his companions, from 1896 to 1933, the year of Apolo Kivebulaya's death. The book also briefly discusses the Anglican Church in Uganda, Burundi and Rwanda, as well as the geographical and political situation of the DRCongo, with all its political changes and intermittent wars, all of which have influenced in one way or another, the life of the Church and the contribution of missionary societies, foreign churches and partners to the development of the Anglican Church of Congo, not forgetting the visits of the Archbishops of Canterbury, Spiritual Head of the worldwide Anglican Church.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 128 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Kazakhstan's gaining independence posed many issues of socio-political development for the state and society. The passing into oblivion of communist ideology and the atheistic policy that was being pursued led to an ideological and spiritual vacuum. In the new reality, the historical role in the modernization of public consciousness to a certain extent was assigned to religious organizations, and above all to Islam. However, the non-linearity of the development of political processes, socio-cultural and historical features of Kazakh society, globalization processes determined a whole ¿mosaic¿ in the manifestations of Islamic religion in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This collection includes the author's scientific articles devoted to the processes of transformation of Islam in modern Kazakhstan.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The present work contributes effectively to the reduction of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality through the rational management of scar uterus deliveries in poorly endowed hospital settings. To achieve this, we carried out a prospective, multicentric, cross-sectional and analytical study of patients with scar uteri in four different secondary-level hospitals in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This study identified 4 determinants of fetomaternal outcome, uterine challenge and maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality that define the PAUM score for predicting uterine challenge failure.The acronym PAUM was given to it in reference to the initials of its constituent keywords, namely: The use of this predictive score has the effect of improving quality in Caesarean section indications, increasing prophylactic Caesarean section rates and improving selection of patients undergoing uterine testing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 96 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The work presented here is the result of bibliographical research, motivated by many questions about traditional grammar, its history over the twenty-three centuries of its existence, as well as its applicability in schools, and especially with regard to Portuguese language teaching. The aim of this research is not to delve into the history of traditional grammar, but simply to recount some important moments in its history and its use today. Over the twenty-three centuries, traditional grammar has often taken on a philosophical and normative character. Nor is it the aim of this work to explore the study of the normative grammar used in our schools. It will only present ideas about its use, which is intended to stimulate reflection on the teaching of language in schools, providing a possible strategy to make teaching more meaningful for students.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The book deals with VAT - Value Added Tax. Without claiming to characterise the entire structure of the tax, we focus on the adoption of this tax in the EU and national contexts, making an incursion into the evolution of VAT in Portugal. We pay special attention to the changes that have taken place in terms of exemptions and the incidence of reduced rates, in order to assess their implications for fiscal policy. Since taxes are the main source of funding for the Portuguese state and for most countries, we take this opportunity to question whether the aims of the current imposition of a tax such as VAT could be to shape the behaviour of taxpayers, thereby influencing the tax policy drawn up by government officials. Having analysed the structure of the tax, namely its system of rates and exemptions, the arguments and merits associated with such a structure, we conclude that the decision is above all political and greatly influenced by economic science. This book is aimed at all professionals specialising in the areas of law, taxation and economics, but also at academics, especially in these areas.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book presents some of the work carried out in the search for molecular markers associated with the panicle weight trait in oats. Panicle weight in oats is a polygenic trait, commonly referred to as a quantitative trait, which is difficult to select via conventional plant breeding methods. Knowing that panicle weight is one of the main components of grain yield in oats, selection via panicle weight for cultivars with greater production potential is an extremely important strategy. In this sense, the association of molecular markers with genes responsible for panicle weight in oats can facilitate and accelerate the development of new, more productive cultivars.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Finding rules and critical methods for identifying and signalling fraudulent discourse is a task that has been necessary since the 4th century BC for all those who defend a free, equitable, just and responsible society. Regaining credibility so that the use of these methods is generally accepted, and with due recognition from the authorities involved, is another major task. I don't think that relying on the notion of personal charisma alone will solve this 21st century Gordian knot: maximum and free dissemination of information via social networks and maximum guarantee of truth.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 64 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -From the second half of the 1980s onwards, literature was concerned with portraying the social problems that Brazil was facing with the end of the military regime. In this sense, this work proposes a reflection on the relationship between social marginalisation and sexuality, using the characters from the book Stella Manhattan (SANTIAGO, 1985) and the work A polaquinha (TREVISAN, 1985), both published in 1985, the year that marked the end of the military regime in Brazil. Through the methodology of a bibliographical review, and using theoretical references from Lauretis (1994), Beauvoir (2009), Spivak (2010) and Sartre (1993), this work aims to shed light on the question of the social location of subjects as a result of their sexual orientation. Some theorists, such as Hall (1999, 2000, 2003) and Woodward (2000), who deal with the issue of social identities in post-modernity, will also be presented. As the aim of this book is to draw a parallel between the two works, the relationship between sexuality and power, according to Foucault (1988, 2007), and the question of patriarchy and the female sex, according to Engels' theoretical assumptions (1980[1934]), will also be pointed out.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 60 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In the 1960s in Brazil, domestic work was seen as essentially feminine. Household chores were of fundamental importance for women to be considered good housewives, and their happiness was associated with marriage, motherhood and domestic chores. Behaviour manuals, through the dissemination of their tips and practical advice, sought to strengthen the bond between women and the home environment. With this background as a starting point, this book discusses the perception of the behaviour manuals/guides ¿Biblioteca do Lar¿ and ¿Dicas e Conselhos Práticos para o Lar¿ and the magazine ¿O Livro do Lar¿ about domestic work. To this end, it looks at the modernisation of the housewife and domestic work and the emphasis on saving time, utility and domestic economy, so that the housewife becomes more practical and efficient. It seeks to problematise: what is the proposed profile of the ideal housewife Was there an idea of the division of domestic labour intended for the home environment How is Home Economics presented to the housewife What is meant by ¿modernity¿ from the point of view of the guides Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The work consisted of chemical (brix, ratio) and physical (diameter, weight) analyses as a function of citrus leprosis severity. Two treatments were carried out with different products (spirodiclofen and cyhexatin) to assess vector control. The book also contains the materials and evaluation methods that were used, as well as the equipment used to carry out the analyses, and the methodology for using the materials and taking the results.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The physiological quality of seeds is normally assessed by standard germination and vigor tests. However, in batches with a high degree of heterogeneity, these tests can have low sensitivity, and it is necessary to obtain reliable results in a short period of time, ensuring rapid decision-making in relation to the physiological quality of seeds. With this in mind, the aim of this study was to separate batches of soybean, bean and corn seeds in terms of vigor, using respiratory activity. To this end, three batches of seeds from these crops were subjected to standard viability and vigor tests, such as germination, first germination count, germination speed index, electrical conductivity, seedling emergence and emergence speed index in the greenhouse, length and dry mass of the aerial part and roots of the seedlings from the germination and seedling emergence tests and respiratory activity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Prey can be consumed more or less by biological control agents and predators have three types of interspecific interactions, (1) synergism, increased mortality of the prey in relation to each natural enemy independently, when the foraging behavior of one species facilitates the capture of the pest by other natural enemies, (2) total mortality of the pest by natural enemies together equals the sum of individual mortality by each, occurring for independent natural enemies, when they prey on different stages of the pest's life or at different times and (3) total mortality of the pest by predators together is less than the sum of individual mortality by predator. The decrease in predation rate may be due to intraguild predation and interspecific competition. Podisus nigrispinus (Dallas) and Supputius cincticeps (Stål) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), generalist predators from the Neotropical region of South America, consume and share a wide variety of prey and are not restricted to the lower trophic level, as many can feed on each other in ¿intraguild predation¿ and cannibalism.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This book brings together four chapters that address issues related to the role of reflection in teacher training and in the process of professional development. The book discusses various topics related to teacher training, with special emphasis on the space allocated to reflection in undergraduate programmes and in opportunities to begin teaching practice. The book reflects on the importance of teacher training courses encouraging teachers to reflect on issues related to classroom practice. It also reiterates the need for teaching professionals to invest in their professional development, since reflective training is, in fact, a process that is forever under construction.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Evaluating learning is one of the most complex stages in the teaching-learning process, but it is of fundamental importance, as it determines, if done correctly, the outcome of a long process of building knowledge. Considering the importance of this subject, the main aim of this work is to understand the conceptions of chemistry teachers who work in public schools in the municipality of Grajaú-MA, listing both the procedures and the main assessment instruments used by these teaching professionals. This work was developed through extensive research in the literature and also through field research, using a semi-structured questionnaire with open and closed questions. Fifteen teachers were interviewed and were able to share their experiences on the subject. According to the data obtained, it can be seen that many teachers find it difficult to conceive of assessment as a process, adopting only the test as an assessment tool.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Among the numerous definitions of rhythmic gymnastics, we can present it as an art and as a sport. As an art, it is conceptualized as the search for beauty, an explosion of talent and creativity, in which bodily expression and technical virtuosity develop together, forming a harmonious whole of movement and rhythm. As a sport, it is essentially a female sport, which requires a high level of development of certain physical qualities, with high performance requirements, aiming for technical perfection in the execution of complex movements with the body and apparatus.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Reflecting, rethinking, changing. How many times do we ask ourselves what we do as a teacher, our practice, our methodology How many refresher courses we attend, but in practice everything remains the same. This book brings to the debate the teacher's reflection on their practice as a teacher, re-elaborating their role as a student. We teach as we learn. Today our way of teaching no longer meets the demands we have in the classroom. We need to re-engineer ourselves as learners, open ourselves up to the new, reflect on what can be changed and updated. Through its techniques, psycho-pedagogy can help this process of rediscovering the learner-learner. I wish you all a good read and reflection on practice.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -User experience and player experience are two concepts that have similarities. Both involve the interaction of a user with a product, with overlapping methods and areas of knowledge that allow experience to be verified. However, there are differences in the focus given to the experience resulting from the interaction. This paper presents the concepts of user experience, usability, player experience and gameplay presented in the literature. It then discusses the relationship between these definitions, identifying the elements that separate them and presenting a possible division between the concepts of user experience and player experience and their tools. Finally, this paper presents two experiments, in two different games, which show a way of verifying player experience, seeking to include these methods within the game development cycle. This work also presents an understanding of player experience in interaction with games and the inclusion of its evaluation within the development cycle, using user testing.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 80 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Undergraduate, Master's and Doctoral students in all areas of knowledge find it difficult to complete their theses. This is due to deficiencies in research training. This book is addressed to them, to methodology teachers, to researchers and to those who are interested in the ways of building knowledge in the Educational Sciences. The document provides guidance on the different epistemological positions that can be used to construct new knowledge. The study reveals the relationship between the philosophical assumptions from which each and every one of the great problems of knowledge can be solved, theoretical foundations to problematize the objects of study, methodological procedures to generate new knowledge, technical strategies to know reality and instruments to gather information; in every process of knowledge. The analysis sheds light on the epistemological relationship between the three types of research that exist: quantitative, qualitative and mixed. It is a valuable aid for both specialists and beginners in the difficult art of generating new knowledge.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The polysemy of the visual arts in the urban image is based on the perception of beauty and its contrasts with technological evolution. In this way, the reason and meaning of artistic beauty in relation to nature is sought based on Kantian thought. Thus, art and technological evolution are analyzed, which make new aesthetic experiences possible at the beginning of this century and expectations for the future, in terms of determination under the concept of innovation. Marx's reflections on freedom are added to Hegelian philosophy. This creativity in cultural praxis, by making art the object of analysis in the socio-cultural theories of Adorno and Benjamin, stimulates the more recent theories of Morin and Habermas. In addition to the preliminary questions in contemporary aesthetics, we have this question: what would designate and condition aesthetics in the face of everyday experiences in metropolitan areas and in the world of the arts Specifically, what are the reasons for art becoming one of the ¿unthinkable¿ practices today An art, according to Adorno, of the Entkunstung, which would no longer make people dream or would be a vicious dream.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 100 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This paper was inspired by the concerns of physicians and lawyers themselves, the other party investigated by us, since we are convinced that knowledge is the best weapon for the prevention of lawsuits against the medical corps and health teams. The spirit is obviously legal, since physicians must always keep in mind that the one who will judge them will not be another colleague but a lawyer who will be the judge at that moment, while thinking that medical reasoning is not always in agreement with legal reasoning. Many answers were directly based on the guidelines of Law 17132, the new Civil Code and other legislation together with the Code of Ethics of the Argentine Medical Association in its third edition, the Code of the Argentine Medical Federation and our own contributions. The important thing is that by knowing the legal norms in advance the professional will know when his behavior is licit or illicit, or can be questioned. The idea is that knowledge reduces the professional's daily stress and will lead him to the path of greater tranquility in his daily activity. In short, we do not want to prove anything but simply to show and promote reflection.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 68 pp. Englisch.

The species used in this research as bioindicators were Allium cepa L. (onion), Lactuca sativa (lettuce) and Pisum sativum (pea). Chromosomal alterations were observed, such as chromatin bridges, isolated chromosomes, the presence of micronuclei and cell death.VDM Verlag, Dudweiler Landstraße 99, 66123 Saarbrücken 56 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -The limnetic bivalves, or naiads of the order Unionoida, represent the largest radiation of freshwater bivalves, with six families, 181 genera and 800 species. They are found on all continents and currently represent the group of freshwater animals most at risk of extinction. The most dramatic cause of the decline and extinction of freshwater bivalves is the modification and destruction of their habitat, global climate change and the introduction of exotic (non-native) aquatic animals. This taxon is the only member of the class Bivalvia recognized for having a parasitic larval stage in its life cycle, which involves an obligatory relationship with a vertebrate host, usually a fish, and a highly modified larva, the gloquid or lasid. This characteristic of the life cycle is a key component of any conservation plan for limnetic bivalves. In order to propagate species that are in danger of extinction, the aim was to develop viable techniques for obtaining juvenile forms in the laboratory, through the artificial cultivation (in vitro) of gloquids.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 108 pp. Englisch.
