Today, Europe is living a new decisive time as it has been in its past after World War II, in search of unity in diversity in the name of a peace project to safeguard future. If, on the one hand, Europe expresses aspirations for profound changes in its external environment, in the domestic context, it ends up colliding with aspects linked to sovereignty and human rights; on the other hand, in European foreign policy, the model reveals the search to legitimize its action. Precisely, the objective and the motivation of this study seek, through the qualitative methodology in Political Science, to analyse and understand the current context of the European Union in the international system. In fact, it is identified that this new hierarchy of powers, in the reaffirmation of the Westphalian system, where economic power comes, is bound to consolidate the democratic development between the old and new times of international relations in the destiny of Europe. From the results obtained during the analysis, in order to face again the unpredictability of the world scenario, it is a reality that Europe must promote the re-encounter of an alternative role, in other words, to assume its initial project of European edification in the name of equality of circumstances and rights of its affirmation in the global arena.

Religious issues permeate the whole Rawlsian work. The problem is to know how people with different religious understandings can come to overlapping consensus. The solution to the problem of how political legitimacy can be achieved, despite religious conflict, and how, between citizens of different faiths, political justification can be pursued without reference to religious conviction is related to the idea of ​​public reason.

Objective: To analyze the approach about male health, masculinities and their relation to laryngeal cancer in the
national scientific publications, to present the characteristics of such publications, to point out the existing gaps, and
indicate the implications for nursing. Method: Bibliographical study using the following databasis: SciELO, Lilacs and
BDENF. Articles about health, masculinity, male health and laryngeal cancer were included. Results: Nineteen articles
were found and sixteen analyzed. Three categories emerged: masculinities, epidemiology of laryngeal cancer, and its
relation to masculinities, male health and the relation with the health, disease and care process. Studies indicate
preventive actions as well as actions to promote health in different areas of care. Conclusion: studies whose goal is to
deepen the investigation of such themes are suggested, since literature pulverizes the approach.

É objetivo deste relato de experiência apresentar os resultados de um processo coletivo de elaboração de conhecimentos suscitados no cotidiano escolar de aulas de Estudos do Lazer e Recreação Comunitária tendo como campo de atuação as áreas de extensão da Universidade Federal de Alagoas, utilizando os protocolos da pesquisa científica que tem como base a problematização tanto da realidade onde se inserem as práticas de extensão como as práticas pedagógicas e sociais. Este relato foi organizado em três partes: a) breve descrição das experiências geradoras, que motivaram a busca de uma maior sustentação científica e a necessidade de um referencial teórico metodológico que fundamente as práticas pedagógicas e de extensão; b) enunciação dos núcleos de referências que servem de premissas para a compreensão da prática; e, c) exposição dos principais resultados do processo coletivo estabelecido em torno da Linha de Estudos e Pesquisas em Educação Física & Esporte e Lazer (LEPEL) e finalmente, a maneira de conclusões, destacamos a importância da problematização e dos métodos científicos no aprimoramento das ações pedagógicas e transformadoras do ensino e a extensão.

At the margins of modern medical practice, pushing the very limits of science, and indefatigably rendering the precincts of public discourse, still functional remnants of Christian civilization continue to provide care for the hopeless, perform healing sacraments for the incurable, and curate objects of votive devotion for the suffering and needy. These public services go largely unaccounted for, though they secure an ordered world, structure perception, and serve as ontological anchors. Lost in the vague, scientifically unrarified notions of spirituality that brace a general, undifferentiated worldwide metaphysical experience and disregard immense cultural, functional, geographic and performative distinctness, Catholic sacramental practices aimed at alleviating suffering and promoting healthy lifestyles are receiving only marginal mention in scientific literature(1), despite the fact that they make up daily reality in large parts of contemporary Europe and Latin America. Writing this editorial from the Northeast of Brazil, where traditional religious practice has sustained generations through the calamities of severe droughts, slavery, extreme poverty, high child mortality, failed political orders, and a harsh global economic reality, it is difficult to underestimate the power of sacramental experience to sustain a cultural identity. It was defined the concept of care of the sick in the context of the religious experience of the Northeast of Brazil which is historically relevant to health promotion. Until the emergence of national health care in the late nineteenth century, it was largely the order of the Franciscan friars that was charged with promoting healthy lives in the region. The Catholic concept of care that guided their efforts structures three procedural reality principles: the psychological reality of the transference to the person in one's charge (care/caritas), the performative practice of religious sacrament such as the anointment of the sick or ex-voto devotionals, and the physical object ...

A partir do olhar de uma profissional de educação que, atualmente, ocupa o lugar de orientadora pedagógica de uma escola pública municipal de educação fundamental, este artigo busca relatar um determinado percurso vivenciado por um subgrupo de profissionais na escola, evidenciando um diálogo reflexivo entre as práticas cotidianas e as relações interpessoais no espaço escolar. Desta forma, reflete o exercício de produção de conhecimento e pesquisa na escola e aborda, fundamentalmente, a importância do grupo na constituição do sujeito que, ao fazer emergir questões do seu cotidiano, direciona seu estudo, tendo como foco alguns elementos: a reflexão sobre o conceito de aula a partir da discussão sobre projetos e outras atividades escolares, a humanização das relações, os diversos tempos escolares e os vínculos que aí se constituem, os entraves pessoais e institucionais na transformação dos tempos regulamentados em tempos de convívio, e a importância da teoria na (re) elaboração de conceitos, com base na afirmação de que o desenvolvimento do indivíduo não depende apenas do aspecto orgânico, mas principalmente, da qualidade das interações que mantém com o meio em que vive.

Este artigo pretende analisar a evolução das atitudes face à divisão conjugal do trabalho em Portugal, entre 2002 e 2014. Um dos objetivos centrais é o de aferir em que medida a evolução observada corresponde a uma modernização das atitudes. Avaliam-se igualmente as hipóteses de uma complexificação dos padrões atitudinais ou, em alternativa, de uma cristalização em torno de padrões atitudinais dicotómicos. Para tal foi efetuada uma análise comparativa das atitudes dos portugueses aferidas nos módulos Família e Género do ISSP (International Social Survey) em dois períodos distintos — 2002 e 2014 — sendo, de seguida, avançados alguns fatores explicativos para os padrões atitudinais encontrados. Mas se os padrões atitudinais encontrados em 2002 sofrem em 2014 uma evolução inequívoca, é também clara alguma incongruência nas atitudes dos portugueses em relação à conciliação do trabalho com a família, especialmente quando existem filhos pequenos. Estes e outros resultados são analisados à luz das especificidades do contexto socioeconómico português no período analisado e dos contributos de alguma investigação recente sobre as questões de género nas atitudes dos portugueses.

Most countries face chronic housing problems, which have produced countless social tensions and politico-economic opportunities. The housing question has had different characteristics, related to quantitative and qualitative issues or the urban and environmental surroundings of the housing. Between the on-going problems' mutations and the administration responses through public policies, complications emerge: difficulty to understand the issues and their importance, and lack of resources, resulting in a worsening in residential dissatisfaction, degradation of the affected areas and diminished capacity to attract residents and investment. To illustrate this, a spatialisation of housing dissatisfaction is presented for the municipalities of mainland Portugal, using recent statistical data. The variables used relate to the most common residential problems – overcrowding, degradation and lack of infrastructures – and also accessibility for people in wheelchairs and commuting time. The statistical processing allowed for an identification of six clusters illustrating different types of residential dissatisfaction. They feature an interesting spatial distribution, supporting the view that geographic specificities can explain housing dissatisfaction profiles. The results were correlated with the official instruments for mitigating residential dissatisfaction in order to verify their degree of coherence. While the true origins of the problem may not lie in the housing itself, or in the area's economic activity, but mostly in the income available to the families affected (retired/pensioners, minorities, unemployed people, precarious workers and other instances of social deprivation), the implications of the results obtained are evaluated for a social housing policy that is increasingly focusing on families, concrete types of dissatisfaction and territorial specificities.

The aim of this paper is to show the link between the first luxury apologies in the eighteenth-century and the change of status of passions. The hypothesis I would like to defend is that the new approach on passions made possible the rising of a new anthropology in which the search for pleasure is accepted as legitim in political as well as in moral terms.

The IV International Workshop on Oil and Gas Depletion, that is held at Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon on the 19th and 20th May, 2005, is the fourth annual meeting promoted by ASPO, the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas, with the organizing support of Geophysics Centre of Évora. Previous meetings were held at the University of Uppsala in 2002, Institut Français du Pétrole, Paris in 2003, and Bundesanstatt fur Geowissenschaften und Roshtoffe, Berlin in 2004. In this fourth annual edition, the core topics chosen for our works are: • Reality in Oil Exporting Countries: The Supply Limits • Impacts of Depletion in Oil Importing Countries: The Demand Pressure • How-Much Regular Oil and Non-Conventional Oil: Utopia versus Reality • The Case for Political Action: The Depletion Protocol • The World Past Peak Oil Age From Uppsala to Lisbon, the public perception of the serious threat impending on humankind as a result of the growing scarcity of fossil fuels has increased. And national and international authorities have slowly but perceptibly admitted and changed their discourse on the problematic availability of the energy required to run the world economy. But political consequences have not yet been addressed straightforwardly – when political action is ever increasingly urgent for putting in place the economical and social changes and technological infrastructure required for preserving wellbeing if not survival itself. For this reason, in this fourth edition of ASPO's annual meetings we called upon members of the political community to share their views on how political action might be taken at the required international level. As the starting point of this debate we have the Depletion Protocol - first proposed by Colin Campbell 10 years ago at a conference in London. It has surfaced in various guises since, named the Uppsala Protocol in 2002, on the occasion of the First International ASPO's Workshop, later also referred to as the Rimini Protocol. The organizers of this Workshop welcome all participants and thank all speakers who kindly accepted to contribute to this event and those participants who also offered their contributions. They thank Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Partex – Oil and Gas, for generously hosting this event and offering the valuable sponsorship which makes it possible. Thanks are also due to the staff of the Geophysics Centre of Évora and University of Évora who, along the past few months, has worked in preparation of the conditions to hold this event now and who, together with the staff of Gulbenkian Foundation, are making it through.

In the second half of the 20th century, the Colombian state was concerned with containing the guerrilla insurgency, promoting internal peace and restructuring its power. The weakening of the state, maximized by drug trafficking led by guerrilla and paramilitary groups, sparked discussions about the establishment of a security plan involving the United States and Colombia, entitled Plan Colombia in 1999. Bill Clinton's US policy, inserted in a conjuncture of war on illicit activities, aimed at interrupting the institutionalization of violence in the Colombian State, as well as containing the impacts of drug sales in adjacent territories. The majority of investments came from the US government, which would remain maximized due to the episodes of 2001 – when the "war on terrorism" converted the plan into a fight against narcoterrorism. This article aims to analyze Plan Colombia in the dynamics of International Relations between the US and Latin America. ; En la segunda mitad del siglo XX, el Estado colombiano se preocupó por contener la insurgencia guerrillera, promover la paz interna y reestructurar su poder.
