La salud global es importante para cualquier enfermera en cualquier lugar del mundo. En este artículo detallamos por qué. Destacamos algunos problemas de salud importantes que enfrenta el mundo actualmente, estudiamos de qué manera se están abordando estos problemas y consideramos las repercusiones para la Enfermería. Describimos de qué manera las enfermeras están marcando la diferencia en los contextos problemáticos, la amplitud y complejidad del trabajo de Enfermería en todo el planeta y concluimos con una convocatoria para la acción. Las enfermeras pueden influenciar a los encargados de elaborar normas y a los políticos (además de pasar a desempeñar esos roles) y explicarles por qué las Metas de desarrollo sustentable no pueden alcanzarse sin fortalecer la Enfermería. En este Año Internacional de las Enfermeras y Parteras la ventana de las oportunidades está abierta, pero no será así por mucho tiempo. Tanto a nivel global como local, las enfermeras deben estar preparadas para aprovecharla. Les pedimos que se tomen de las manos y que se sumen a nosotros. ; Global health matters to every nurse everywhere. In this article we outline why. We highlight some important health issues confronting the world today; explore how these issues are being tackled; and consider the implications for nursing. We describe how nurses are making a difference in the challenging contexts, range and complexity of nursing work round the globe, and we conclude with a call to action. Nurses can influence, and become, policy-makers and politicians, and explain to them why the Sustainable Development Goals cannot be reached without strengthening nursing. In this International Year of the Nurse and Midwife, the window of opportunity is open, but it will not stay open for long. Nurses and midwives globally and locally must be ready to jump through it. We ask you to join hands, and join us. ; A saúde global importa para os enfermeiros do mundo todo. Neste artigo, descrevemos o motivo.

Liquidity has become a metaphor for a contemporary society in which, paradoxically, the only stability lies in the ephemeral; social forms and identities change too quickly to become sedimented. This article argues, however, that in the global city understood as a space of flows, certain social relations -for example, the link between consumer and commodity- have crystallized. This social, economic and political relation has favored the emergence of a corporeal subjectivity in which the body is not simply a means but an end in itself. The body is approached here as a dual entity that is at once both subjective (the consumer body) and objectified (the commodified body), a ghostly entity ideally adapted to and functional in consumer society. ; La fluidez se ha convertido en metáfora de una sociedad contemporánea donde, paradójicamente, la única estabilidad descansa en lo efímero, donde las formas sociales cambian antes de que se sedimenten. No obstante, en la urbe global entendida como espacio de flujos cristalizan algunas relaciones sociales - por ejemplo, el vínculo consumidor-mercancía. Esta relación social propicia la creación de una subjetividad corporalizada donde el cuerpo se ha convertido en un fin y no sólo en un medio. El cuerpo es aquí una doble entidad subjetivada (el cuerpo-consumidor) y objetivada (el cuerpo-mercancía), un ente fantasmal que deviene funcional a la sociedad de consumo.

O artigo trata da presente crise do capitalismo internacional, interessando-se pelo nexo entre seus aspectos propriamente econômicos e as questões políticas e institucionais que ela suscita. São discutidos alguns elementos de caráter cognitivo e metodológico importantes para uma agenda de pesquisa da crise, e em seguida é apresentado um panorama do processo de globalização neoliberal que caracterizou o mundo nas ultimas décadas e que está no centro da crise contemporânea. O artigo conclui com uma breve prospecção das mudanças que poderão advir da crise, sobretudo no que diz respeito à revalorização da política e ao fortalecimento do papel do estado. ; The article deals with the current crisis of world capitalism, relating its specifically economic aspects to political and institutional questions raised by the financial crash. It discusses some cognitive and methodological issues which are relevant for a research agenda of the process, followed by an overview of the development of neoliberal globalization. This model, which characterized the world during the last few decades, is in the heart of the contemporary economic problems. The article concludes with a brief prospect of the changes that may be stemming from the crisis, especially those related to the strengthening of politics and the state's role.

This article approaches the images to achieve a perception of our time. Not just what we can see, but mainly as sensitive is our ability, our desire and undesirable, our imagination and the unimaginable. It is problematized the political links with the market economy, to the extent that they have generated and instructed us to manage our own self-image. Thus, productivity is revealed a strong amalgam of generators and sense of body and reality. Through analysis of advertisements and television programs available on the Internet, advertisements distance courses distributed by e-mail, as well as an art project also published on the network, we come to the evidence that the image today has become the commodity par excellence. She does not just sell a product or herself, sells an experience of a world to 'my own'.

Mortality of children under-5 continues to be a global priority. In 2012, 6.6 million children under-5 died worldwide; more than half of these deaths are due to diseases that are preventable and treatable through simple, affordable interventions. In response to the United Nations' Millennium Development Goal (MDGs) which called, through MDG4,to "reduceby two thirds the under-5 child mortality, between 1990 and 2015", global organizations and many countries set targets and developed specific strategies to reduce child mortality and monitor progress.As a result, the number of deaths in children under-5 worldwide declined from 12.4 million in 1990 to 6.6 in 2012. Under-5 child mortality dropped in all regions of the world. However, two major challenges face the international community: The wide disparity in the risk of child death among countries, and the emerging role of neonatal death as a major component of child mortality. In order to continue the progress in reducing under-5 child mortality worldwide, current efforts must continue and new strategies need to be implemented to focus on preventing neonatal deaths as they start to represent a larger proportion of under-5 child deaths. In particular, further reduction in neonatal mortality will depend heavily on improving maternal health (MDG5).The world leaders continue to support the MDGs. In 2010, in a major push to accelerate progress on women's and children's health, a number of Heads of State and Government from developed and developing countries, along with the private sector, foundations, international organizations, civil society and research organizations, pledged over $40 billion in resources over the next five years.
