The Process of Evaluation of Performance in the Civil Service: A Comparative Analysis of the Legal to the Practice of Performance Evaluators in the District Government of Nacarôa
Our scientific research has as its theme “The performance evaluation process in the civil service: a comparative analysis of the legal to the practice of performance evaluators in the district government of Nacarôa” aims to analyze the perceptions that performance evaluators in District Government of Nacarôa have on the performance evaluation process in the civil service. As for the approach, the research is qualitative, using the case study. The interview was the technique used for data collection, whose analysis and interpretation was based on content analysis, based on pre-defined categories. The sample consists of performance evaluators from five public institutions. The survey results indicate that the monitoring of the annual activity plan is the means that performance evaluators use to communicate and control the execution of activities, according to the priorities defined by each sector or division, in compliance with article 21 of the SIGEDAP, which establishes the following duties of evaluators: communicating the objectives, policies, strategies and plans of the body or institution to the person being evaluated; monitor and guide the person being evaluated during the execution of the activities; evaluate performance in good faith, fairly, impartially, accountability, transparency and impartiality; that the evaluation process, in the five institutions, is effective when compared to the legal provision, as the evaluators monitor the degree of fulfilment of plans and goals, maintaining a permanent dialogue between the parties until the final stage of the performance evaluation that is carried out through interviews, with a view to ensuring an effective management of human resources in the Public Administration.

Reading of Reading Salman Rushdie & Midnight & Children Through Reader Response Theory
One of the techniques evident in Midnight’s Children is reader response theory which is successful in creating enough suspense. The present paper will focus on Reader Response theory. It will also share some information about the writer and the novel Midnight's Children. It will elaborately discuss the character named Padma. She is a surrogate listener who represents the partial and but obvious behaviour of an ordinary audience of Midnight's Children. Salman Rushdie has intentionally depicted Padma’s character so that she can become an audience to Saleem Sinai (protagonist) for his narration. Saleem Sinai is the lead character of the novel who is blessed with telepathy and also has an uncommon or unnatural severe sense of nose to find other midnight's children to form midnight conference. Another interesting thing in the story falls at the point when Saleem’s birth is switched with another character named Shiva who later as the story develops becomes his rival. At times we find Padma as an impatient listener who is mainly interested in the main plot. Rushdie as a narrator raises question through Padma to which Saleem Sinai has to satisfy and likewise the chain of narration moves on.

Antenor Patiño and James Goldsmith: Two Tycoons in the Pacific Coast of Mexico
The history of the coast of Colima and Jalisco, in Mexico, has been determined to a large extent by a series of accidents, among which the most important is the big investment that the Bolivian millionaire Antenor Patiño had to make in Mexico, in order to justify his conjugal address there, which was necessary to obtain his divorce from his first wife. Patiño financed the international airport of Playa de Oro, which still services that part of Colima and Jalisco, and attracted the man who fashioned the coast through his interest in conservation, the husband of his younger daughter, James Goldsmith.

About Some Methods of Creating Images in the Lyrics of Mikhail Matusovsky (to the Characteristic of the “Poetics of Artlessness”)
Based on the material of two lyrical works by Mikhail Matusovsky, the article identifies and analyzes the characteristic features of the author’s poetic handwriting, taking into account his creative manner, the researchers refer to the literary movement known as the “poetics of artlessness”. This poetic trend, which has become widespread in Soviet poetry, is distinguished by the underlined democratic nature of the verbal space, the simplicity of compositional design and similar features, works “poetics of artlessness” are addressed to the reader “from the very bottom”. On the example of “programmatic” works of the poet, it is demonstrated that lyric works made in the traditions of this poetic movement seem absolutely clear and easy to understand only at the first reading. A more thorough philological analysis makes it possible to reveal the qualities of lyrical structures that testify to the depth and versatility of the content contained in them.

Discourse of the Space Identity of Poverty & Social Protection in Urban Space
Over the last decade there has been a growing emphasis on utilizing social protection as a policy framework to tackle poverty and vulnerability in developing nations. An increasing multitudeof governments in developing nations are formulating and embracing comprehensive national social protection strategies as part of their initiatives to alleviate poverty. The implementation of social protection policies and programs in developing nations is rapidly expanding both in quantity and coverage, marking a significant increase in their reach and impact. From a qualitative standpoint, this study emphasizes the critical role of public spaces in alleviating poverty-related feelings in Vision 2030 and social housing at the scale of urban form. Flourishing individuals is one of the domains of community well-being (VanderWeele, 2019).
Inquiry work as a Transversal Axis in the Teaching Sequence of Descriptive Statistics
The objective of the work is to present an essential part of the design of the descriptive statistics teaching sequence, carried out within the framework of the master’s thesis in university teaching that seeks to promote the learning of the fundamental ideas of parametric statistical inference in the students of the Department of Statistics of the Public Accountant career at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the National University of the Litoral of the Argentine Republic. Although the proposed sequence is not approached through a project, its evolution tends to enable students to address a research problem and work on it from the general steps that are taken in a statistical study. We believe it is a sequential, dynamic, and alternative way for students to develop the statistical proficiency expected in sequencing.

Typology of Volume-Space Structures of the Orthodox Monasteries of the Kaluga Province in the Process of their Historical Development
The monasteries of the Kaluga province represent a failure of diverse architectural ensembles, with complex internal dynamics that do not allow bringing the variety of forms to uniform evaluation criteria. The process of building up the monastery complex sometimes took several centuries, and therefore the architectural and compositional decisions of a monastery are often not sustained in a single stylistic direction. Considering the developed monastery complexes as established architectural structures, one can note many common typological features in their development, layout and composition. This is due to the unity of functional purpose, as well as the symbolic interpretation of the monastery ensemble.

Active School Transportation Determinants: Political Possibilities for Expansion in São Paulocity
Recent studies show that inequalities in transport infrastructure negatively impact educational performance. This article presents a model that indicates the factors associated with the adoption of Active School Transportation (AST)for the city of São Paulo. The results of the multinomial logistic regression show how the adoption of active transportation by students is explained by parents’ active commuting, car ownership, distance, and indirect route. They also highlight the school bus distribution policy and its risks, considering the competition between school buses and active commuting modes.

The article is preparatory in nature to consider one of the causes of the current crisis and possible ways out of it. The article considers two rights: the right to preferential distribution and the right to deferred exchange, which together form the basis of consumption in society. Three types of the right to preferential distribution are analyzed, which correspond to three possible types of capital, depending on which of these rights is given the right to violence. It is shown that these three distributive rights are in a state of pressure on each other and form a triad with negative feedback, which ensures the stability of the system and forms the basis of society in the form of a triad: ideology-politics-economics. In conclusion, the riddle of Varys is considered in relation to the topic under consideration.

The Role and Symbolism of Water in Charles Perrault, Gustave Doré and Juana De Ibarbourou: Comparative Literature in Spanish Language Teaching
In various stories from the oral tradition, we see water taking on different roles. A notable example is the role of water in Charles Perrault’s fairy tale “The fairies”, published in Tales of mother goose or stories of ancient times (1697). This work was given a Spanish edition, Tales of yesteryear (1986), which contains drawings by Gustave Doré. In the drawing of “The fairies”, you can see the image of a young woman holding a huge pitcher under the tap of a natural spring of water that represents feminine pain and purity. In the 20th century, the Uruguayan writer and poet Juana de Ibarbourou used the theme of water extensively in her work, such as in the prose poetry of The fresh pitcher (1920) and in “Triptych”, a series of three poems from Dualism (1953). The aim is to carry out a comparative reading of a contrastive and qualitative nature between these three authors based on the idea of a “new comparatism” (Coutinho, 2016). Subsequently, the aim is to reflect on how this emerging new comparatism can be realised in Spanish language teaching in Brazilian schools through a “new humanism” (Coutinho, Palermo & Schmidt, 2021) in rural Latin American communities, such as Sopa, a rural community located in the Jequitinhonha Valley in Minas Gerais, Brazil. This new relationship established with comparative literature and its teaching can give new meaning to the relationships that young Brazilian readers have with foreign literature, as well as to the way teachers relate to this little-known literature in Brazil.
