Humacriticity II
The traditional school of the 1980s left deep traces by prioritizing homogeneity over diversity, excluding those who did not meet the standards in Spanish and mathematics. This book reflects on the limitations of an educational system anchored in the past that perpetuates exclusion and marginalization. It questions whether the New Mexican School embraces inclusion from a decolonial perspective and explores the need for humanistic and critical teacher training. It seeks to reorient education towards a more humane and sensitive approach, recognizing the urgency of updating knowledge and practices.Because a transformative education for a better world is possible!

The Truth about Lies in the Workplace
You Work with a Bunch of Liars - Learn What to Do About It. Sure, everyone tells little white lies now and then, but real deception in the workplace is a poison that can destroy relationships, careers, and companies. Carol Kinsey Goman, a leading workplace body language expert, combines her own experiences with the latest research to identify fifty subtle physical and vocal cues that will enable you to spot destructive workplace lies. She analyzes the role we play in supporting lies - how our own vanities, desires, self - deceptions, and rationalizations allow us to be duped. And once you detect a lie, she provides tactical advice on how to respond, whether the liar is above, below, or on the same level as you - even if it's your boss. ''Lying in the workplace causes huge problems for business - the proper people do not get promoted, profits are generally compromised, wrong steps are made, and much more. This book should be a best seller.'' - Robert L. Dilenschneider, President and CEO, The Dilenschneider Group, and author of Power and Influence and A Briefing for Leaders. ''After 30 years in the training and development industry, I have come to trust Goman's expertise in body language and nonverbal cues in the workplace. I would recommend this book to any leader working to improve culture and effective communication within his or her organization.'' - Margie Mauldin, President, Executive Forum. ''Goman's book sheds light on a phenomenon in business that too many of us prefer to [pretend] doesn't exist: deception. A must - read for emerging and established leaders alike.'' - JD Schramm, EdD, Director, Mastery in Communication Initiative, Stanford University Graduate School of Business.
The Inclusive Language Field Guide
Avoid inadvertently offending or alienating anyone by following six straightforward communication guidelines developed by a no-nonsense linguistic anthropologist and business consultant.In today's fast-moving and combative culture, language can feel like a minefield. Terms around gender, disability, race, sexuality and more are constantly evolving. Words that used to be acceptable can now get you cancelled. People are afraid of making embarrassing mistakes. Or sounding outdated or out of touch. Or not being as respectful as they intended. But it's not as complicated as it might seem. Linguistic anthropologist Suzanne Wertheim offers six easy-to-understand principles to guide any communication-written or spoken-with anyone: Reflect reality Show respect Draw people in Incorporate other perspectives Prevent erasure Recognize pain points This guide clarifies the challenges-and the solutions-to using ''''they/them, '''' and demonstrates why ''''you guys'''' isn't as inclusive as many people think. If you follow the principles, you'll know not to ask a female coworker with a wedding ring about her husband-because she might be married to a woman. And you'll avoid writing things like ''''America was discovered in 1492, '''' because that's just when Europeans found it. Filled with real-world examples, high-impact word substitutions, and exercises that boost new skills, this book builds a foundational toolkit so people can evaluate what is and isn't inclusive language on their own.
Meritocracy as an instrument of recognition in the Public Sector
With the technological revolution of recent years, organisations have undergone a veritable metamorphosis in order to become more efficient and agile in responding to an increasingly competitive environment. The public sector, traditionally seen as sluggish and inert to such changes, has had to keep up with them in recent years so that it can fulfil its main objective more efficiently: meeting society's needs. Among the factors most valued for achieving such levels of efficiency, the people who make up organisations have taken on a prominent role. In People Management, great efforts are being made to get people to contribute their best to achieving organisational objectives. In this context, motivation plays a key role and meritocracy has emerged as a means of enabling organisations to have a clear and efficient system for recognising and motivating their employees. This book seeks to assess the feasibility of using a meritocratic system to motivate, recognise and retain talent.

Bullying in public schools
Understanding the phenomenon of bullying in public schools is of fundamental importance nowadays, given the major transformations that society as a whole is undergoing. In this sense, it is necessary to understand the particularities and unfolding of the phenomena of violence and bullying in the local context, making a decisive contribution to taking pedagogical stances to tackle the problems denounced. By checking out the students' representations of interpersonal relationships, we were able to gain a better understanding of how these relationships take place and the various ramifications of this issue. Reading the data on bullying in the light of Zygmunt Bauman's discussions allowed us to analyse the context more effectively and reflect on the need to improve the school climate and relationships between students, teachers and other school professionals.

Globalization and Teacher Training
The curriculum is considered a political document that reflects the hegemony of state power, but it is subject to permanent and unfinished construction because it takes place in the diversity and convergence of discourses, or arguments that contribute to clarifying decision-making options. However, globalization is interfering and imposing itself on the definition of public policies in developing countries. Where is the hegemony of state power? This book presents the impact of globalization on educational policies in Mozambique, which has resulted in numerous curricular reforms and models for primary teacher training courses between 1975 and 2010.

Differentiation in Teaching for Inclusive Education
Often during the teaching-educational work with students, we hear from teachers concerns about the difficulties they encounter with special students, to the excellent results achieved by another part of students, we hear problems about the need to organize differentiated teaching with the students. By differentiated teaching with the students, we mean the organization of the lesson, according to the learning levels, opportunities and abilities of the students to understand, interpret and transmit the acquired knowledge. This is in terms of both their external appearance and their thinking, understanding, acting skills, etc. The teacher and perhaps to a lesser extent the pedagogue try to adapt the planning and development of their work, according to the qualities and abilities of the students. Implementing productive strategies (forms, methods, techniques) enables multiple alternatives in the learning process. This makes the student develop organizational and management skills, and communication skills promote diversity in student learning and creative and independent skills.

Learning in learning environments
In this paper we problematise learning from the point of view of the students at a public school in the municipality of Rio Grande/RS/Brazil. In 2011, the school opted to change its operating dynamics by transforming conventional classrooms into Learning Environments, in which students have access to a greater diversity of resources and interaction with their peers is permanent, motivating students to establish relationships between school knowledge, their lives and the world. In this school, it is the students who move from one environment to another; every two hours, the teachers remain in the classroom. In order to find out how the students learn in this new environment, we asked various questions and used the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD) as a method of analysis, which allowed us to construct the following collective discourses: Learning 'yesterday' in classrooms, Learning 'today' in Learning Environments and Learning with teaching materials. Analysing the discourses enabled us to understand that work carried out in collective and challenging environments changes learning through freedom of action, expression and respect for the other as a legitimate other in coexistence.

Body and education
In this book I develop the perspective that body and soul are inseparable doubles that must be valued in symbolic and educational practices. Starting from my experience of the body, I first address the Feminine, beyond gender, because it has been devalued and oppressed for centuries by a patriarchal culture. The same culture that split body and soul and also split man in two. I reflect on the importance of rescuing this Feminine through the body and raising awareness of the polarisations that are present in and make up the psyche, polarisations that must be understood in the dynamics of complementary opposites and in the possibility of psychophysical equilibration. Various authors support these reflections, thus helping me to come to the conclusion that body and soul have the possibility of learning throughout life.

Social representations of distance education
This case study considers how distance education can contribute to improving people's quality of life. The Microregion of Governador Valadares (MGV), in the state of Minas Gerais - Brazil, has had its history driven by exploratory cycles and a peculiar migratory flow, but is now revealing itself as an emerging educational centre. In this scenario, distance learning has presented itself to residents as a dynamic and viable opportunity for professional development and qualification. In turn, this type of education has been represented by the population as a model that contrasts with face-to-face education, when in reality it is complementary. This investigation sought to identify the social representations of graduates from MGV higher education institutions in relation to distance learning, as well as their perceptions of the effectiveness of distance learning postgraduate courses in creating the conditions for greater professional integration into the labour market.
The Art of Danish Living
A beautiful, research-backed guide on how to work like the happiest people in the world, the Danes. From the author of the million-copy bestseller The Little Book of Hygge. ​Based on a new study from the Happiness Research Institute, Meik Wiking reveals the main factors that build happiness at work--purpose, trust, relationships, balance, and more--to show how we can reduce stress, increase productivity, and find fulfillment, both in and out of work. It is well known that the Danes have a fantastic work-life balance, that working late is discouraged, parental leave is split equally, and long summer holidays are the norm. They even have a word meaning "happiness at work"--arbejdsgl疆de. Meanwhile, the rest of the western world is struggling with a burn-out epidemic--but where are we going wrong? There is an alternative, and The Art of Danish Living will provoke and inspire.
Medical Preceptorship in Hospital Emergencies
The book analyses preceptorship from the perspective of doctors in the emergency department of a teaching hospital in Goi璽nia (GO). This was a qualitative study in which 15 doctors took part between January and March 2013, using semi-structured interviews. The thematic content analysis technique was used. Being a preceptor means transmitting knowledge and taking responsibility for professional training. Discussions of clinical and surgical cases were the most frequently mentioned activities. Preceptorship is fundamental to the teaching-learning process and has contributed to the preceptor continuing to learn. Facilities included good multi-professional relationships, student interest and good theoretical training; difficulties included lack of infrastructure and time, poor communication between teachers and preceptors, and lack of training. The conclusion was that preceptorship contributed to the training of future professionals and that they faced many difficulties in exercising this role, suggesting improvements in infrastructure, working conditions and training. This book is aimed at students, preceptors, teachers, managers of higher education institutions and health services.

Compiler Design
A compiler translates a program written in a high level language into a program written in a lower level language. For students of computer science, building a compiler from scratch is a rite of passage: a challenging and fun project that offers insight into many different aspects of computer science, some deeply theoretical, and others highly practical.The area of compiler construction is introduced in this book. It combines a thorough explanation of the theory behind the contemporary approach to compiler design with several real-world examples, as well as a comprehensive description of a tiny language compiler complete with source code. It is especially made to be used in an advanced undergraduate course that introduces compiler design or compiler development. However, because it tries to provide the reader with all the tools and hands-on experience needed to design and program an actual compiler, it will also be helpful to professionals starting or joining a compiler writing project.
