Authors: Aamir Mohammad , Dash Rashmisnata , - Amber , Kumar Sujeet
Published: September 2023

Kidney stones are one of the most common problems regarding Renal disorders. Inappropriate dietary habits and insufficient water intake lead to the formation of Renal stone. These stones obstruct either the pelvis region or ureter region causing hydronephrosis and hydroureter respectively. It can be presented independently or together. Both conditions should be promptly diagnosed and treated to prevent severe renal dysfunction. Cystoscopy guid-ed ureteral stent placement or fluoroscopy guided percutaneous nephrostomy tube are the modern treatment strategies for hydronephrosis or hydroureteronephrosis. In Ayurveda symptoms of hydroureteronephrosis can be correlated as the mixed symptoms of vat kundalini and vata Basti or Mutrateeta in which there is obstruction in Mutravaha srotas leading to impeded urine flow ,finally causing retro peritoneal pain ,heaviness ,and retention of urine and stool. According to Ayurveda Hydroureteronephrosis is seen as a complication under Ashmari Prakaran. Here the presented case is about a case of mild hydroureteronephrosis ,which is reversed and gets back to normal function within 14 days through systemized administration of polyherbal drug.
Kontroverze u tumačenjima islamske arhitekture i geometrijskog ornamenta
Authors: Nanić Senad
Published: September 2023

Kontroverze o utjecaju islamske na zapadnu arhitekturu razvile su se u nedostatku dokumentarnog dokaza. Literatura naznačava moguće utjecaje u kontekstu izvora gotičkog šiljastog luka i rebrastih svodova, renesansnih dvostrukih kupola i četverodjelnih vrtova te ističe, s druge strane, konstrukcijske razlike. Islamski znanstveni i praktični goemetrijski rukopisi 10. i 11. stoljeća, u latinskom prijevodu, smatraju se vjerojatno utjecajnim na kasnija srodna fundamentalna djela u Europi. Izvor rebrastih svodova i višestrukih kupolnih konstrukcija u islamskoj arhitekturi literatura teži pripisati velikim privremenim lakim šatorskim konstrukcijama.Kontroverze o značenju islamkog geometrijskog uzorka razvile su se nasuprot uvriježenom stavu orijentalista s kraja 19. stoljeća o islamskoj geometrijskoj dekoraciji kao isključivo dekorativnoj. Literatura smješta njegovo značenje u esencijalistički simbolizam, koristeći platonsko geometrijsko razumijevanje izvođenja mnoštva iz jedinstva, te u islamsku teološku tradiciju Božje apsolutne transcedencije nad ikakvim antropomorfnim i figurativnim predstavljanjem, uključujući i poziciju matematičkog i logičkog dokaza u dosizanju nedvojbenosti.Bulatov (1988) i Necipoğlu (1995) smatraju očekivanom odsutnost neovisne teorije arhitekture u Islamu, ističući da arhitektura u Islamu nije dosegla razinu slobodne umjetnosti kao u renesansi, jer se razvila u svojim teoretskim i goemetrijskim aspektima, uključujući i pojam ljepote i njene percepcije, kao umjetnost konstrukcije koja je dio praktičnih znanosti u filozofskim i znanstvenim djelima, analogno silogizmu u logici, strofi u poeziji i metričkoj stopi.
Prilog interpretaciji Feuerbachove nesumnjive prisutnosti
Authors: Kovačić Darko
Published: September 2023

U našem prijašnjem radu, „Prilogu interpretaciji Feuerbachove sumnjive odsutnosti“, a kojega je ovaj tekst svojevrsni nastavak, pokušali smo odgovoriti na pitanje zbog čega između Ricoeurovih „Gospodara sumnje“, Marxa, Nietzschea i Freuda, nema, po našem mišljenju, najistaknutijeg praktikanta kritike religije – Ludwiga Feuerbacha. U ovom nam je radu namjera, da koristeći Ricoeurov hermeneutički kanon, sažeto ukažemo na osobitosti interpretacije religijskog u Feuerbachovoj ostavštini. Karakteristična Feuerbachova hermeneutika sredinom je 19. stoljeća prožela cijeli jedan naraštaj koji je u njegovoj teoriji religije otkrio način razmišljanja koji je dovodio u pitanje legitimitet svih im poznatih zemaljskih institucija i vlasti. Ali Feuerbach nije stao na tome: njegovo istraživanje religijskog fenomena dovelo ga je u konačnici do mjesta gdje je smatrao da jednom demifisticirani oblici religije otkrivaju nešto dijametralno suprotno otuđenju. Religija ovako postaje permanentna osnova intelektualne evolucije i ‘prometna zaobilaznica’ po kojoj ljudska vrsta dolazi do sebe-spoznaje o svojoj istinskoj naravi.
Several Judges' Considerations in Deciding Marriage Dispensation Cases
Authors: Kholis M Nur
Published: September 2023

This research discusses the problem of early marriage in Rembang, with a focus on marriage dispensation letters submitted to the Rembang Religious Court. Data shows that there are many cases of marriage dispensation, with 52 cases resolved in 2016, an average of more than 6 cases per month. This early marriage is triggered by various factors, including pregnancy out of wedlock due to uncontrolled relationships. The parents of both parties agreed to submit a request for dispensation to the court to allow marriage at an age that does not meet the provisions of the law. This research uses various techniques and data sources, including interviews, primary, secondary, and tertiary data analysis, as well as a literature study. The collected data was analyzed using empirical methods. The research results show that early marriage in Rembang is influenced by cultural, socio-economic, family environment, social, and psychological factors. Customs also play a role in the phenomenon of early marriage.

The aim of this work was to quantify the content of nutritional elements and minerals in dried products from traditional Romanian old apple varieties from Salaj county, with potential for production and introduction into population consumption, as well as establishing shelf life for dried apples without the addition of preservatives, on the technological flow. The apple varieties evaluated were "Jonathan", "Poinic", "Mustos - sample 2", "Summer- not nominally identified", "Winter- not nominally identified", "Mustos - sample 1", "Dulce", as well as 2 mixes with apples "Mix of dried apples (from the Poinic, Mustos, Dulce, Summer, Winter, Ionathan varieties)" and "Summer variety dried apple mixed with dried chokeberry and dried blackcurrant"(contains apples from the "Summer- not nominally identified"). The samples taken in the study continued the skin and pulp of the fruits. The minerals iron, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium and sodium were evaluated. The evaluated nutritional indicators were the content of available carbohydrates, energy (Kj/100g, kcal/100g), energy from fats, ash content, fat content, dietary fiber, protein, dry matter, moisture. The evaluated minerals showed significant differences depending on the variety. The variety 'Jonathan' was noted for its high content of iron 8.1 mg/kg. High manganese content was detected in "Jonathan" variety - 2.11 mg/kg and in "Dulce" variety - 3.11 mg/kg. The "Summer- not nominally identified" variety was noted for its high content of sodium 14.4 mg/kg and calcium 276 mg/kg. The "Poinic" variety stood out for its high potassium content 6380 mg/kg. The "Winter- not nominally identified"variety stood out for its high magnesium content of 377 mg/kg. The results indicated the high nutritional potential of apples from old traditional Romanian varieties.

The purpose of this study was to determine the Relationship Between Participant Self-Evaluation, Coach Competence, Participant Tasks Achievement and Participant Potential After Underwriting Boccia Training Program. The type of research used in this research is quantitative descriptive research. The quantitative descriptive method is a quantitative research in which the form of description is numerical (statistical). This means that the research is related to the description with statistical numbers. This study used the SOAP-M model to analyze the evaluation of the Boccia training program. In the meta-analysis, researchers examined the relationship between self-evaluation, trainer competence, and achievement with the potential of participants after undergoing the Boccia training program. The results of the meta-analysis showed that self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants' tasks in training) simultaneously affect the potential accuracy skills of throw boccia with a positive regression coefficient value. This means that self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants' tasks in training) together have a positive impact on the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills in the boccia training program. This also shows that if self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement (achievement of participants' tasks in training) increase, then there is an increase in the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills and vice versa if it decreases then there is a decrease in the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills in the boccia training program. The results of the coefficient of determination test show that 93.5% of the potential of throw boccia accuracy skills can be explained by variations in self-evaluation, others (trainer competence), and achievement. The remaining 6.5% was explained by other causes outside the study variables. Of the 93.5%, 33.6% of the variation of potential participants is determined by self-evaluation, 32.0% of the variation of potential participants is determined by others (trainer competence), and 27.9% of potential participant variation is determined by achievement. Thus, self-evaluation has a more dominant influence on potential participants than other variables (trainer competence) and achievement.

Comunicação de más notícias através do protocolo SPIKES: uma revisão bibliográfica
Authors: Quiel Barros Martins Nathália , Thomazini Maria Gabriela , Tavares Rodrigues Marília , Souza Matos Maycon , Ribeiro Souto Roberta
Published: September 2023

Introdução: A relação médico paciente tem evoluído e, no que tange a comunicação de más-notícias, esse avanço se manifestou por meio do protocolo SPIKES, que preza pela revelação da verdade na transmissão de informações psicologicamente dolorosas ao paciente e família de forma humanizada, buscando fortalecer o vínculo e amenizar os impactos na transmissão dessas informações. Objetivo: revisar a utilização do protocolo SPIKES na comunicação da má-notícia. Metodologia: Realizou-se uma revisão de literatura a partir de dados presentes em plataformas de pesquisa avançada e selecionando 11 artigos, junto ao Código de Ética Médica e documentos do Ministério da Saúde para embasamento teórico da discussão. Discussão: Observou-se uma carência de ensino deste método nas universidades e nos cursos de educação permanente, de modo a expor os profissionais não qualificados e os seus pacientes, já que a não utilização do protocolo pode impactar a relação médico-paciente, assim como potencializar a sensação de fracasso na comunicação, aumentando as chances do desenvolvimento da Síndrome de Burnout. Estudos apontam a relevância desse protocolo na prática médica, os seus benefícios e a sua aplicabilidade dentro do método clínico centrado na pessoa. Considerações Finais: comunicar más notícias é frequente para profissionais da saúde, fazendo-se necessário aplicação de uma técnica simples, prática e didática, como o SPIKES, que proporciona autonomia de adequação desse recurso à personalidade do profissional de saúde e realidade de cada paciente, atendendo aos preceitos básicos da medicina centrada na pessoa.

Midwives‘ professional identity: Lithuanian situation
Authors: Vaičienė Vita
Published: September 2023

The profession of midwife is one of the oldest in the world and is considered prestigious because of the characteristics of midwifery practice. The ability to reject or control stress is the result of the personal life and personality formation of everyone who is exposed to various sources of stress or stressors. Occupational burnout is less common in psychologically strong people who are communicative, flexible to different situations, feel empathy, have excellent problem solving, have internal control, and feel self-esteem.

The aim. To evaluate expressiveness of midwives‘ professional resilience.

Methods. The cross-sectional study was done. Study was conducted by questionnaire survey. The study involved 338 midwives from whole Lithuania Obstetrics wards. Statistical data analysis performed by using SPSS 23.0 program. Percentages, frequencies, averages and standard deviations were calculated. Relevant statistics were calculated based on T-test and correlation coefficient. Results were statistically significant when p <0.05.

Results. Midwives, who worked less than 12 hours shift, favored the effective use of professional skills and resources. Anxiety was more common among midwives who were single (t = 3.12; SN = ± 3.0; p < 0.001) or divorced (t = 3.40; SN = ± 3.3; p < 0.001). Symptoms of depression (t = 8.19; SN = ± 6.6; p <0.05) and stress (t = 8.81; SN = ± 5.4; p < 0.05) were more common among single midwives. Personal (t = 57.47; SN = ± 20.6; p < 0.05) and work-related (t = 47.73; SN = ± 19.9; p < 0.05) burnout were less frequently for midwives, who work mixed work schedules.

Conclusions. Midwives are more satisfied with the professional recognition and professional skills and resources. Personal, work-related and / or client-related burnout more often occurs for disaffected with work-life balance midwives.
Time-Series Momentum in a Small European Stock Market: Evidence from a New Historical Financial Dataset
Authors: Lobão Júlio , Rosário Ana
Published: September 2023

In this paper, we examine the Portuguese stock market for indication of time-series momentum effects using a new historical financial dataset that covers about 120 years of data. We find strong time-series momentum effects that cannot be explained by conventional risk factors. The positive return continuation seems to last for a period of 12 months, being heavily concentrated at the first month. At longer investment horizons, returns tend to mean-revert. The market exhibited significant time-series momentum for all look-back and holding periods of 12 months or less. A strategy with a 1-month look-back period and a 12-month holding period is shown to be the most profitable yielding a Sharpe ratio roughly 5.4 times that generated by a passive strategy. Time-series momentum strategies tend to perform best during extreme up-market periods and deliver the worst returns during down markets. This suggests that the strategy may not offer significant diversification benefits. Our findings add to the evidence that time-series momentum effects are not a product of data mining and are difficult to reconcile with the assertion that stock markets follow a random walk.

Organizational politics is evident across the globe within organizations. This emergent issue needs further investigation with reference to employee personality. The intention of the current study was to better understand how employees respond to organizational politics. The primary goal of the current research was to examine the moderating role of personality factors on bankers' perceptions of organizational politics and attitudes toward their jobs (i.e. job satisfaction and organizational commitment). The data were gathered from 150 employees working in various banks in Multan, using self-reported questionnaires to find their organizational political perceptions, job satisfaction surveys, organizational commitment, and personality tests. Hierarchical regression analyses were used to analyze the model. The personality factor that moderated the link between perceived organisational politics and work-related attitudes was openness to experience. Extroversion and organizational politics had a negative correlation. The outcome of the study depicted a significant link between job satisfaction and organizational politics. The study’s findings add to our understanding of the significance of personality traits concerning how workers view organizational commitment, organizational politics, and their level of job satisfaction.

Published: September 2023

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between adolescent students' academic stress, coping, and engagement strategies. In order to look at how these characteristics interact; the study narrowed its attention to a particular group. In this cross-sectional study, 200 students were selected based on convenient sampling technique to evaluate gender-based disparities. Questionnaires, consent forms, and demographic sheets were used to gather data. The present study found a correlation between coping and engagement strategies, furthermore a significant relationship between coping and academic stress was also found. The gender based disparities were also found, particularly in several areas of student involvement. These findings illustrate the significant relationship between coping strategies and academic stress, emphasizing the need of stress management for encouraging involvement in academic endeavours for both male and female students. The study's findings explain the role of academic stress on coping and engagement strategies, enabling students to enhance productivity in their academic careers. However, limited generalizability due to a small sample size should be considered. The study's conclusions can help institutions to promote a supportive academic atmosphere by easing student burdens and encouraging the appropriate use of coping mechanisms.

This research study aimed to understand the challenges of providing quality education in Balochistan by selecting eight schools from Sui. A qualitative research methodology was adopted to understand the challenges in detail by conducting interviews based on purposive sampling from 15 stakeholders. These included headmasters, teachers, students, and parents. To enrich the research data, focused group discussions were also conducted with six stakeholders including teachers, students and parents. The qualitative raw data were transcribed and categorized to generate key themes to understand the problems. The findings of the research reveal that there are serious challenges in providing quality education in all secondary schools located in Sui. These challenges include socio-economic problems of the masses, poor infrastructure, weak accountability, and ghost teachers. The study recommends that all ruling elites and stakeholders should coordinate and evolve joint mechanisms to address the challenges hindering the quality of education in Sui. Furthermore, it is also recommended that research should be conducted at the primary and secondary education levels in remote areas across the province of Balochistan to understand the challenges affecting the quality and literacy rate in the province. This will be an eye-opener for the policymakers to develop a concrete and comprehensive plan to address these issues and challenges effectively.

Renewable energy education and technology have become a necessity at all levels, in the last few decades, many countries around the world have already started working on renewable energy education and skills. The target audience of the program, the course's goals and objectives, and the intended methods of evaluation must all be internalized in the curriculum document. A suitable curriculum must be developed based on the level, type, and other requirements. When developing the curriculum, it is important to fully comprehend and take into account how one academic program may be connected to others on the same or similar topics at lower as well as higher levels. There is a widespread understanding of the significance of promoting learning of renewable energy at all stages. The standardization of course curricula, the creation of books and learning and teaching aids, and the sharing of knowledge regarding the success of the programs in achieving the goals can all be quickly aided by mutual cooperation between various organizations. So that programs must be more efficient, economical, and effective, there needs to be close collaboration between national, regional, and international organizations that provide renewable energy studies.
Sûfîlerin Yol Âdâbından Âdâb-ı Muâşeret’e Bir Yolculuk Denemesi (Marmaravî’nin Hurde-i tarikat Adlı Eseri Örneği)
Authors: ULU Mahmut
Published: September 2023

Bu çalışma, Ahmed Şemseddin Marmaravî’nin Hurde-i tarîkat adlı eseri temel alınmak suretiyle tasavvufî çevrelerin yol âdâplarının toplumsal düzlemde bir karşılığının olması gerektiği düşüncesine dayanmaktadır. Daha açık bir ifadeyle tarikatların dışa dönük usul ve esaslarının toplum hayatında uygulanabilirliğini irdelemek amacına dönüktür. İslam’ın düşünce, anlayış ve yaşayış yönleri bakımından derûnî tarafını ifade eden tasavvufun usul ve esasları itibarıyla sadece tarikat ve tekke çevrelerine ait bir husus olarak kalmaması gerektiği bu düşünceyi somut davranışlara dönüştürmeyi gerekli kılmaktadır. Asıl gayesi iyi insan (insan-ı kâmil) ve bu insanlardan müteşekkil ahlaklı toplum meydana getirmek olan tasavvuf, sadece geçmişte ya da belli zümrelerin elinde kalmış bir düşünce ve amel sistemi olarak görülmemelidir. Böyle bir bakış, tasavvufun gerek çıkış gerekse süreç boyunca öncelediği amaçlarını heder etmek anlamına gelecektir. Bu anlamda tasavvufun maksadına uygun olan hedeflerinin günümüze taşınması ve günlük hayatın içinde etkin olması bu kadim geleneğin amacına hizmet etmesi bakımından önem arzetmektedir. İşte bu çalışma bir görevi de ahaliyi irşad etmek suretiyle topluma nizam vermek olan sûfîlerin ortaya koydukları ve yaşadıkları dönemde pratik hayata aksettirdikleri günlük hayatın bir parçası olan usul ve esasların tarihin geride bıraktığı zamanlarında kalan bir ütopya olarak algılanmasının bir nebze önüne geçmek için yapılmış bir yollar yakınlaştırması denemesidir.

Published: September 2023

Farmers require an automated system to grade Pomegranate fruits rather than a manual system to increase productivity and quality of Pomegranate fruits. Manual grading of fruits does not produce adequate results and requires additional time for disease identification and gradation, as well as the expertise of an expert, making it ineffective. The suggested system is an efficient module that identifies various pomegranate fruit disorders and determines the stage of sickness. Effective growth stage monitoring and disease detection are critical for maximising pomegranate fruit yield and quality. This paper describes a method for monitoring the growth stages of pomegranate fruit utilising image processing techniques and disease detection approaches based on machine learning algorithms. The suggested method analyses colour, shape, and texture information taken from photos captured at various phases of development to track the growth stages of pomegranate fruit. The obtained data is then utilised to train machine learning models that appropriately distinguish the growth stages. The models are trained on a dataset of annotated photos containing numerous pomegranate fruit illnesses. Farmers and agricultural specialists can use the developed technology to correctly monitor the growing phases of pomegranate fruit and detect problems. The camera in this project catches various pomegranate fruit stages and classifies pomegranate fruits into two classes: infected and non-infected, using a machine learning algorithm and Python tools. This study employs a CNN, K-mean method, and image processing technique to detect illnesses at various phases of fruit development.

Purpose: Tugek is one of the characters in the prembon mask dance drama in Carangsari Village, Badung Regency, Bali. Luh Manik or popular as Tugek is a character who becomes the center of attention, because the message to be conveyed is delivered with a fresh joke.

Research methods: This study aimed to examine Tugek character in the performance of Tugek Carangsari prembon mask dance drama. It uses qualitative methods, namely researchers collect data, process data, analyze data and then analyze descriptively interpretively.

Result and discussion: The results shows that the character in Tugek Carangsari prembon dance drama performance used the TAT-SAT-SAT-TAT formula, which means “tatwa e anggo satwa, satwa e apang nyak metatwa” (tatwa/philosophy is used as a story so that the story contains tatwa).

Implications: Tugek character can be seen from the variety of movements, fashion, make-up, musical accompaniment, dialogue, vocals/gending, performance structure and the time and place of the performance.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the meaning of the Rerajahan form and script which are closely related to Balinese Hindu religious rituals where Rerajahan is one of the cultural assets of the archipelago.

Research method: This study uses a qualitative literary approach which is described in such a way according to the data obtained which in its elaboration contains the process of its meaning.

Results and discussion: Rerajahan is a Balinese Hindu culture as a local genius. Balinese Hindus firmly believe that Rerajahan has magical properties. Rerajahan will be meaningless if it is not filled with inner energy and driven by deep belief as well, then Rerajahan will be an empty image and only contains aesthetics.

Implication: The magical powers that can be elicited by the rerajahan are used for sacred purposes, namely for matters related to Hinduism, which are called Panca Yadnya.

Published: September 2023

This review paper examines the current state of lung disease diagnosis based on deep learning (DL) methods. Lung diseases, such as Pneumonia, TB, Covid-19, and lung cancer, are significant causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Accurate and timely diagnosis of these diseases is essential for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. DL methods, which utilize artificial neural networks to extract features from medical images automatically, have shown great promise in improving the accuracy and efficiency of lung disease diagnosis. This review discusses the various DL methods that have been developed for lung disease diagnosis, including convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), and generative adversarial networks (GANs). The advantages and limitations of each method are discussed, along with the types of medical imaging techniques used, such as X-ray and computed tomography (CT). In addition, the review discusses the most commonly used performance metrics for evaluating the performance of DL for lung disease diagnosis: the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, accuracy, precision, and the receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC). Moreover, the challenges and limitations of using DL for lung disease diagnosis, including the limited availability of annotated data, the variability in imaging techniques and disease presentation, and the interpretability and generalizability of DL models, are highlighted in this paper. Furthermore, strategies to overcome these challenges, such as transfer learning, data augmentation, and explainable AI, are also discussed. The review concludes with a call for further research to address the remaining challenges and realize DL's full potential for improving lung disease diagnosis and treatment.

Nigeria occupied abysmally the third position in 2019/2020 Global Terrorism Index and has been classified as a country in a ‘state of war’. Virtually all the six regions of the country are dotted with various manifestations of insecurity. In the southeast region of Nigeria, which is the focus of this study, the new face of terror is the activities of the ‘unknown gunmen’. The specific objectives are to; identify the peoples’ perception about the identity of the unknown gunmen; examine the root causes of insecurity in the region; determine governments’ responses to the activities of unknown gunmen and determine the impacts of the activities of the unknown gunmen on the region. The study adopted survey research using interview and questionnaire method. The study drew a sample of 350 respondents (politicians, security agents, traditional rulers, men and women) from each of the 6 states in the southeast using simple random and purposive sampling techniques. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics were used. The results of the findings include among others; that people perceived the identity of the unknown gunmen to be political thugs of state actors in the regions; that the root causes of insecurity in the region include governments’ crackdown of IPO Bagitation/detention of IPOB leader and in-fighting among political elites from the region. Recommendations include among others; that the state and federal government should provide good governance to the people of southeast to forestall the temptation of violent youth agitation and secessionists ambition, that the politician in the region should desist from ‘dirty’ politics where youths are used as political thugs and that government should adopt dialogue in dealing with groups agitation rather than the traditional kinetic approach.

Brazilian education has been the scene of great discussions and contradictions, as it influences and is influenced by the ascending transformations that have occurred in society; and, while, more and more, qualification and educational preparation are demanded and “money” is invested in the education system. In this context, the role of the pedagogue proves to be fundamental, and he, despite being in the middle of a “crossfire”, must seek to play his role in a much more comprehensive way, being essentially concerned with the educational supervision itself. , guiding, advising, prioritizing the educational collective and the promotion of critical, participatory citizens who transform their reality. From this perspective, the referred work focuses as a basic objective to point out how the pedagogue has been playing its role within the educational supervision; establishing for the accomplishment of this intention, studies of theoretical order, as well as observations in the routine of the daily work. It is concluded that the pedagogue suffers many restrictions that end up interfering with the work done and oblige him to unfold to perform his social function and promote a quality education. In line with the information acquired throughout the work, at the end some considerations are established, through which it is intended to help other research that may be triggered.
