NOTE:
As a determiner In French, determiners agree in gender and number with the noun that follows;
this is translated by ce + masculine singular noun (ce monsieur) but by cet + masculine singular noun beginning with a vowel or mute ‘h’ (cet arbre, cet homme) and by cette + feminine singular noun (cette femme). The plural form these is translated by ces (ces livres, ces histoires). Note, however, that the above translations are also used for the English that (plural those). So when it is necessary to insist on this as opposed to another or others of the same sort, the adverbial tag -ci (this one here) is added to the noun: I prefer this version = je préfère cette version-ci. As a pronoun (meaning this one) In French, pronouns reflect the gender and number of the noun they are standing for. So this (meaning this one) is translated by celui-ci for a masculine noun, celle-ci for a feminine noun;
those (meaning those ones) is translated by ceux-ci for a masculine plural noun, celles-ci for a feminine plural noun: of all the dresses this is the prettiest one = de toutes les robes celle-ci est la plus jolie. For other uses of this, see the entry below.

"have caused this agreement to be executed..."
"here" as in "in this passage/extract"
"How well does the organization of this brochure / the story flow?"
"I have nothing that this screwdriver is good for."
