Musical Performance Thinking Out Loud in Lago das Rosas Park Goi璽nia GO
When I joined the scientific initiation group, my research area was Parque Lago das Rosas - Goi璽nia (GO). My task was to identify these cultural practices that have been (re)configuring themselves on the premises of the aforementioned "Public" environment, which call into question understandings between the public universe today, in order to carry out pedagogical proposals, an e-Art/Educational intervention, to make it possible to apply Cultural Performance as a means of critical/reflective expression on ritualistic habits characterized by the diffuse understanding between public and private environments. When I identified the cultural practices that were being (re)configured in the park, as a music student, I thought it would be appropriate to intervene through music, which had a great impact, making the musical performance Pensando Alto (Thinking Out Loud) significant and surprising. Nominated for the Scientific and Technological Award, Relevance of Music in (Trans) Transformation and/or Social Action. The publication of this book will be beneficial and fruitful for professionals in the areas of communication, marketing, communities, academic audiences and the like, for the purpose of commercialization.
Regulations for the Concession of Mining for the Exploitation of Mineral Water
This paper aims to analyse the role of economic activity in the market and in the social environment, based on the principles that govern the market, such as free enterprise and competition, in an attempt to guarantee consumers a higher quality of the products and services offered to them. It demonstrates the concept of what mineral water is, the requirements for acquiring a research authorisation and concession to exploit this resource, its proportion and finiteness in guaranteeing the water supply for a large part of society, the forms of pollution that make it unsuitable for consumption and the means of supervision by the state in the preservation of groundwater in order to ensure the right to an ecologically balanced environment and the dignity of the human person in terms of their physical and mental health for present and future generations.
Factors Contributing to the Transmission of Cholera in the Municipality of Tete
This study aims to look at the environmental factors that contribute to the transmission of cholera in the municipality of Tete, between 2016 and 2020. The municipality has not recorded any cases of cholera in the timeframe of the research. However, there is an imminent outbreak of this disease, especially in suburban neighbourhoods, due to the poor solid waste collection capacity in these neighbourhoods, which is characterized by the Municipal Sanitation Company not being able to penetrate the places due to the disorganization of housing. The existence of open-air rubbish dumps, the existence of ponds and swamps with waste water, the reuse of this water by some sectors of society, among others, are all factors that make the suburban neighborhoods of the city of Tete potential breeding grounds for cholera. In view of this scenario, the study recommends that the municipality should begin consistent and permanent work to remove the open-air rubbish dumps in the suburbs, in order to improve the quality of the environment and the lives of its inhabitants, thereby preventing these places from becoming hotbeds for the emergence and spread of cholera.

Harold Arlen and His Songs
Harold Arlen and His Songs is the first comprehensive book about the music of one of the great song composers of the twentieth century. Arlen wrote many standards of the American Songbook-including "Get Happy," "Over the Rainbow, "Stormy Weather," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "The Man That Got Away" - that today rank among the best known and loved. Author Walter Frisch places these and other songs in the context of a long career that took Arlen from Buffalo, New York; to Harlem's Cotton Club; to Broadway stages; and to the film studios of Hollywood. Even with their complex melodies, harmonies, and formal structures, Arlen's tunes remain accessible and memorable. As Frisch shows, he blended influences from his father's Jewish cantorial tradition, his experience as a jazz arranger and performer, and peers like Gershwin, Kern, and Berlin. Arlen always emphasized the collaborative nature of songwriting, and he worked with the top lyricists of his day, including Ted Koehler, Yip Harburg, Johnny Mercer, and Ira Gershwin. Harold Arlen and His Songs is structured around these and Arlen's other partnerships, analyzing individual songs as well as the shows or films in which they appear. The book also treats Arlen's performances of his own music as a vocalist and pianist, through numerous recordings and appearances on radio and television. A final chapter explores the interpretations of his songs by great singers, including many who worked with him, among them Ethel Waters, Lena Horne, Judy Garland, Frank Sinatra, and Ella Fitzgerald.
Using Dramatic Text as Teaching Material in the Portuguese Classroom
Dramatic text is understood as that which is part of the literary form of drama and implies direct communication between the characters and the recipients of the enunciation, focusing on the dynamics of conflict, trying to represent human actions and reactions, through tragedy, comedy and drama (properly speaking), thanks to the presence of the characters. Thus, the aim of this work entitled "Using a Dramatic Text as Teaching Material in the Portuguese Classroom: case of Quelimane General Secondary School, 9th grade, Class H, C/D, 2017", was to understand the strategies of using dramatic text as a didactic resource in the Portuguese Class, given that, during the Portuguese Pedagogical Internship period, it was found that the student of Quelimane General Secondary School have little knowledge about dramatic texts, as well as having a lack of techniques to explore it in the Portuguese Class. Therefore, the dramatic text can be used as a basic component that aids cognitive, affective and playful development.
The reversal of the burden of proof in sentencing in the light of the Specialised Courts
The main purpose of this research is to study the most appropriate procedural moment for the application of the reversal of the burden of proof, set out in art. More specifically, it seeks to ascertain when the inversion of the burden of proof would be correctly applied, so that it does not become an instrument that violates the principle of broad defence and may not meet its objective, which is to promote isonomy, i.e. the equality of the poles in the consumerist legal relationship, given that depending on the procedural moment applied, it may generate an unlevelling of the poles of the procedural relationship. In addition, the research technique used for this study is direct and indirect documentation, which demonstrates the practical applicability of the institute studied here, based on the analysis of decisions in the 2nd Mixed Special Court in the city of Sousa-PB, as well as the application of a questionnaire answered by the magistrate who acts in it, addressing the application of this institute in her decisions, verifying that the institute is often applied in the sentence and that the magistrate herself recognised that the timing of the sentence is not ideal.
Academic Training in the Face of Health Problems in the Rural Population
The gateway to the Unified Health System is primary care, the main modality of which is the Family Health Strategy (ESF). An ESF includes nursing, medicine and dentistry professionals, and students on these courses must have knowledge of and be close to the local reality in order to work there in the future. As the west of Santa Catarina has around a third of its population living in rural areas, it is hoped that students graduating from an institution in this context will be prepared to care for this population. The aim of this study was to find out more about the academic training provided by the Nursing, Medicine and Dentistry courses at a community university in the western region of Santa Catarina, Brazil, in relation to health care for the rural population in the context of primary health care.

Customers expressed greater satisfaction with APM Terminals across various aspects of cargo handling, indicating its superior performance compared to Tin can Island Container Terminal.
Total Quality Management
Total Quality Management is considered a differentiator for organizations, since it seeks to reduce errors and waste, adding value to companies. The aim of this study was to assess the quality tools adopted by a company in the telecommunications sector in the city of Montes Claros (MG) and to analyze the process of managing corporate contracts, comparing some relevant indices and taking into account the processes before and after the implementation of Total Quality Management. The scientific research methods used to carry out this work included a case study, data collection and documentary research, carried out within the organization, using the technique of participant observation. The organization, which previously had a high number of contract rejections, now has a considerable reduction in this number after the implementation of the quality tools, so it is worth noting that the insertion of the Total Quality tools in the organization has brought visible and measurable benefits to the company in question.
The Thresher
'We will suffer for this band, Michael, ' he prophesied. 'But it will bring great things.' A haunting tableau of an era gone forever, The Thresher chronicles the underground music scene of the 1990s through the eyes of ambitious young men who rebel: would-be artist-tyrant Michael Glendower and his sometime comrade, the redoubtable musician Shiv. Together with its companion volume, Hide the Decline, The Thresher forms a panorama of the Western world from the late 1970s through to the madness of the early 2020s. It explores the conflict between individualism, nationalism and globalism, and the role of art in an increasingly sterile and conformist modern world.

The pedagogical specificities of the activities developed in EI
This research aimed to analyse the pedagogical specificities of the activities developed by two early childhood education teachers, one public and one private, in the municipality of Barreiras. Two objectives were key to gathering the data that made this monographic text possible: discussing the concept of childhood, children and early childhood education from the teachers' perspective, and also identifying the activities that make up the teachers' pedagogical work in early childhood education. The main theoretical references for these discussions are: Ostetto (2008), Ludke and Andr矇 (1986), Oliveira (2007), Faria and Palhares (2000), Kuhlmann Jr. (2001). The research was carried out using a qualitative field study approach, in which we first observed the institutions and then interviewed the teachers, who showed little knowledge of early childhood education and that they are still learning. The research revealed that activities are important in the routine of early childhood education and that this requires a professional with specific training in the area.
Incidence of cardiac dysfunction in chagasic patients
Chagas disease (CD) is one of the consequences of human infection by the flagellated protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. The cardiac form is the most serious presentation of the disease, with the possibility of sudden death, arrhythmias, apical lesions, heart failure and thromboembolism. The main aim of this study was to identify the incidence of cardiac dysfunctions resulting from CD in patients treated at the outpatient clinic of a reference hospital for the treatment of infectious diseases in the Amazon in 2015. This year, there was a higher prevalence of cardiac dysfunctions. These pathologies are often associated with CD due to the tropism of the etiological agent by myocardial cells. The main contamination mechanism was oral contamination, possibly due to the consumption of a癟a穩.
Bioactive compounds and antioxidant potential in Pomegranate fruits
The pomegranate tree is a widely used species, especially due to its medicinal importance, and its fruit is appreciated all over the world. The commercialisation of pomegranates has increased and aroused the interest of fruit growers in Brazil. The expansion of the cultivated area is due to the demand for the product from the pharmaceutical industry and the vision of expanding the use of the fruit for marketing in its natural form or industrialised, such as concentrated juice. However, knowledge of the quality of the aril during fruit development is incipient in the region. Therefore, this book provides information on the biochemical, physicochemical and antioxidant potential transformations that take place at each stage of the development of the Molar Pomegranate fruit, which is of great importance for pinpointing ripeness rates and defining the point at which the fruit should be harvested. Studies in this area should be very useful for producers in characterising the quality of the fruit and contributing to advances in the production sector and access to the species' phytotherapeutic potential, as well as for researchers wishing to carry out further research in this area.
Reflection
This project was based on the portfolio developed during the specialization, in which learning was based on daily experience and the construction of new knowledge was through the constructive spiral teaching model. In this way, patient safety centers aim to ensure patient safety within institutions throughout the entire health-disease process, from admission to discharge. Protocols and actions must be implemented in patient care, with a focus on care free of Adverse Events. The exchange of experience between the actors showed that the realities and difficulties are the same, whether financial, breaking paradigms or cultural change. Therefore, in order for there to be a change in attitude, all the players involved in the patient care process must: speak the same language and financial resources must be directed to this sector. However, humanization and continuing education are the crucial points for achieving success and continuity in Patient Safety within healthcare institutions.
The use of virtual games in maths teaching
This paper reflects on the importance of virtual games for teaching maths in the 3rd year of secondary school at the David Aires Fran癟a Agricultural State School. In this sense, the work was constructed with the aim of showing three virtual games taken from the S籀 Matem獺tica Portal and the Virtual Interactive Education Network (RIVED) as facilitating tools in the process of teaching and learning maths. These games were chosen according to the content taught by the class teacher and applied to the students. Soon after they were applied, the students answered a questionnaire to collect data. The teacher also completed another questionnaire. The results of the research show that the teaching of mathematics can be streamlined using virtual games, helping to open up new paths for the construction of knowledge and teaching.
Study of Environmental Impacts in Grain Storage Units
Known worldwide for its grain production, beyond its agricultural frontiers, Brazil must expand its grain storage units, allowing for greater marketing power for agricultural products. The main objective of this work is to list the negative environmental impacts generated in the operations cycle of grain storage units and suggest mitigating measures for each impact found. Through a literature review, each stage was analyzed and studied, generating individual flowcharts showing the main negative impacts. There is currently a lack of information in the literature on the impacts generated in the cycle of grain storage operations. This paper lists the main negative environmental impacts through individual flowcharts for each stage, and suggests mitigating measures that are economically viable.
Does the chemistry textbook meet the CBC?
The textbook has long been the subject of debate and investigation, from which many criticisms originate. Criticism for inducing or reinforcing prejudices and racial and social stereotypes; criticism for proposing activities that encourage more information gathering and memorization, to the detriment of developing skills such as reflection, analysis and synthesis, curiosity, creativity; among others. Despite all this criticism, we cannot ignore the role that this tool plays for the majority of teachers and students in our country. So we think it's important, especially for teachers in the Minas Gerais state public school system, to check whether the five chemistry collections approved by PNLEM 2012 meet the guidelines set out by the CBC (Common Basic Contents), both in terms of content distribution and the methodology used to deal with it.
Contraception in women who have had a cesarean section

The influence of the media on the (de)formation of children in Early Childhood Education
The media, as well as their media outlets, are increasingly present in children's lives. Often as a way of "occupying" them so that their parents can have a little more time for work or even household chores. Children have the right to be in contact with the media and its vehicles, as long as they are under the guidance of a responsible adult so that they can also enjoy the benefits in terms of their learning.
Activities outside the family nucleus for older women
This book is part of a broad process of reflection on ageing as a rewarding experience. It is an important turning point in this process of knowledge production. It aims to deepen ongoing debates about contemporary society and its relationship with healthy ageing, responding to some of the demands of longevity. In structuring the themes, two demands influenced the division: to understand the process of population ageing and to present the actions that have an impact on the process of healthy ageing. In short, in one way or another, all the experts cited here, from different perspectives, point to society's strategic role in ageing as a rewarding experience. The depth given to section 8 on activities outside the family nucleus as a promising element of independence for older women will make this book an obligatory reference for policy makers and activists from the most diverse social organisations.

The Sounds of Spectators at Football
The sounds of spectators at football (soccer) are often highlighted - by spectators, tourists, commentators, journalists, scholars, media producers, etc. - as crucial for the experience of football. These sounds are often said to contribute significantly to the production (at the stadium) and conveyance (in televised broadcast) of 'atmosphere.' This book addresses why and how spectator sounds contribute to the experience of watching in these environments and what characterizes spectator sounds in terms of their structure, distribution and significance. Based on an examination of empirical materials - including the sounds of football matches from the English Premier League as they emerge both at the stadium and in the televised broadcast - this book systematically dissects the sounds of football watching.
Pat Metheny
An in-depth exploration of the style and influence of Pat Metheny, a truly distinctive musical voice of our time. Guitarist and composer Pat Metheny, among the most acclaimed, visionary musicians of our time, has for five decades toured with his many creative musical projects, most prominently the Pat Metheny Group, while collaborating with celebrated artists, including Charlie Haden, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Ornette Coleman, and Steve Reich. Bob Gluck, whose perspective as pianist, composer, and educator has illuminated the music of Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis in his two previous books, now focuses his lens on the music of Metheny. Neither a biography nor chronological record of Metheny's musical output, Pat Metheny: Stories beyond Words instead captures Metheny's self-conception as a musician and the threads that unite and distinguish his creative process. Drawing upon a wealth of new interviews and close readings of musical examples, Gluck offers a bird's-eye view of Metheny's musical ideas. Among these are the metaphor of storytelling, the complementarity of simplicity and complexity, and the integrated roles of composer, performer, and band leader. Much like Metheny's signature style, this book is accessible to a wide range of readers, presenting new clarity, musical insight, and historical perspective about the legacy of Metheny's groundbreaking music.
Humanised Nursing Care in the Neonatal ICU
The birth of a child symbolises for parents the idealisation of a moment marked by various expectations, anxieties and changes in their lives. The hospitalisation of a newborn (NB) in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) generates feelings of sadness, fear and stress in the parents, as they feel fragile and insecure about their child's life. We therefore decided to carry out this study in order to provide insight and understanding into the experiences of parents in the context of their children being admitted to the NICU. At the same time, we hope to broaden our knowledge of NB health care, with a view to the interaction of parents in their child's recovery, involving the whole family, in order to promote humanised care. The general objective of this study was to analyse the perception of parents of premature NBs regarding their stay in the NICU, and the specific objectives were to characterise the socio-demographic profile of parents of premature NBs admitted to the NICU, to ascertain how parents of premature NBs perceive the reception during their stay in the NICU, and to understand the feelings experienced by parents of premature NBs.
American Popular Music and Its Business in the Digital Age
American Popular Music and Its Business in the Digital Age: 1985-2020 by Rick Sanjek is the sequel to his father Russell Sanjek's American Popular Music and Its Business: the First 400 Years. This book offers a detailed and objective history of the popular music industry from the introduction of the compact disc to the shift to streaming, with particular emphasis on the creators, the consumers, and the music business professionals who, in Sanjek's telling, form the three major axes of the industry. Each of the book's three sections--1985-1995, 1996-2006, and 2007-2019--has five chapters covering the same areas and issues. The first chapter in each section outlines the competition between the Big Six music conglomerates, their corporate structures, leadership, finances, and market share. The second chapter traces the synergy between the labels, the retail sector, radio, and the trade magazines whose charts are the pacemaker for the entire industry. Third comes music publishing, licensing, copyright, and legal issues including legislation, litigation, and infringement, followed by a focus on creators and how they earn their money. Each final chapter examines how, how much, and where consumers--who lead in adopting new technology--spend their money. Underlying it all is an insider's perspective on the role that the CD, Napster, Apple, Spotify, YouTube, SoundScan, electronic ticketing, and other innovations had in redefining the business structure and revenue flow of the entire industry. Digital technology also affected the regulations, contracts, and financial transactions that define the complex business of music, as live performance transitioned from clubs, concert halls, and theaters to arenas, amphitheaters, and stadiums. Concurrently, recorded music evolved from analog to digital sound carriers through MP3 downloads and then to on-demand streaming files, ultimately affecting consumers, creators, and the music business infrastructure that connects them. Finally, an epilogue includes the effects of COVID-19 in 2020 on all involved, closing with a glimpse into the digital future with the emergence of TikTok, livestreaming, immersive media, and artificial intelligence.

A Short History of the Yale Russian Chorus
The Yale Russian Chorus (YRC) is a unique phenomenon-part singing group, part fraternity, part discussion group-that started in 1953 at Yale at the height of the Cold War, a time when exhibiting a strong interest in matters Russian and Soviet could be seen as suspect in the USA. It developed into a respectable tenor-bass chorus, which has participated in and won prizes at major international choral festivals. In celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Chorus's founding, Mark Alan Hewitt prepared this short history. It recounts memorable moments and events, including concerts and tours of the Russia and Eastern Europe. It documents the role that the YRC has played as "Diplomats of Song," promoting mutual understanding between Russia and the West.

Transcribing Genius
Willie Fourie, a name synonymous with electrifying improvisation and genre-bending musicality, remains an enigma to many. While his influence on South African jazz is undeniable, truly understanding the magic behind his solos requires delving into the heart of his improvisational mind. This article attempts to shed light on this process, exploring Fourie's unique approach to improvisation through the lens of his musical background, creative influences, and recorded works. Early Life and Musical Influences Born in Cape Town in 1930, Fourie's musical journey began at a young age. Surrounded by a rich musical heritage - his father was a violinist and his brother a pianist - he was exposed to a diverse range of sounds, from the soulful melodies of African music to the intricate harmonies of European classical music. This early exposure instilled in him a deep appreciation for melody and improvisation, elements that would become hallmarks of his playing.
Fundamentals of optical properties applied to esthetic restorations
In recent years, the demand and search for results with a high aesthetic standard has increased on the part of patients. Consequently, a new kind of adhesive restorative dentistry has been developed, driving the technological development of increasingly aesthetic materials. Given the aesthetic evolution of materials, combined with the mechanical properties responsible for the functional success of the restorative procedure, the optical properties are important for the result to be achieved, while these also depend on the technical skills of the professional. Therefore, the ideal restorative material is one that emits light at the same intensity as natural dentition, although factors such as chemical agents, immersion media and surface polishing can influence the final result of a restorative procedure.
The Right to Education and Access to Higher Education
The aim of this monograph was to analyze the context of social programs for access to and permanence in higher education in Brazil and to compare the nuances encountered in this scenario with the demands of the market. Initially, an attempt was made to identify the content of the Right to Education, seen as a social right to be provided by the State, in relation to Higher Education, since it permeates a different treatment from that given to primary and secondary education. The right to access higher education loses its fundamental character, since the right to education, a second generation social right, is conceived at minimum levels, covering primary and secondary education. As such, it does not represent, as the research has shown, a compulsory right to be provided directly by the state. Access to higher education institutions is linked to the individual capabilities of the beneficiary. In addition to this initial investigation, we sought to contextualize the scenario of private higher education institutions based on a historical analysis of the regulation of the sector in recent decades and the perspectives arising from the findings.
The use of cinema to discuss gender and sexuality in Physical Education
The ways in which we construct our representations of gender and sexuality are closely linked to the social relationships we establish, the institutions we attend and/or share their assumptions, and also to the cultural artefacts we have access to. When I use films, I see them as a cultural artefact that produces meaning and significance permeated by power relations. In this sense, this book analyses the use of cinema as a pedagogical cultural artefact to discuss themes such as gender and sexuality in teacher training in the field of Physical Education.
Environmental Education Practices
This book is the result of the Course Conclusion Work, carried out in the Biological Sciences Course at the Federal University of Roraima, with the aim of analyzing the projects developed in the public schools of Boa Vista, Roraima and getting to know the teachers' conception of Environmental Education and regional environmental issues. The qualitative research opted for Bardin's (1977) Content Analysis technique to analyze the data obtained through the application of semi-structured questionnaires. As part of the field research, visits were made to 12 schools to get to know and analyze the proposed projects, as well as the teachers responsible for them. Most of the schools have been working on the school garden project, while others have chosen to work on specific dates alluding to the environment. Teachers at educational institutions are an important source of encouragement for developing environmental education projects with their students. However, the research identified flaws in the educational process with environmental issues, because although the teachers develop environmental education projects, they find it difficult to take a stand on the subject.
It's Only Grace
Olivier-Jeff Kalala gives us Professor Mukendji's vision of the world, especially in the field of public life, but even more so in that of teaching, because that's where it all starts. For education to be competitive, the first thing to do is to place the trainer, the teacher, the professor, in humanly viable conditions. Otherwise, it's clear that the DR Congo will continue to produce perfect incompetents with no positive influence on public life, as illustrated by the political sector. Pr Mathias Buabua
