The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how Heidegger's claim to being-to-death can be understood as a condition of possibility for the responsibility of desire as formulated by Lacanian psychoanalysis. First, the structure of the Heideggerian Dasein, as well as its existential ones, is described. Next, the use and the sense of the notion of desire in Lacan is analyzed. Both in an authentic existence and at the end of analysis, where the subject knows how to deal with his losses, in the face of anguish, he assumes a role of protagonist of his existence and manages to be responsible for his desire. The analysis, in this sense, serves as a tool that enables the subject to deal with this suffering arising from the lack, of this nothing that Heidegger spoke. Obviously, the analysis does not aim to eliminate this ontological lack, but only to deconstruct the phantasms that the subject has constructed to ward off what is his own, constituting his ontological structure, that is, his finitude. Thus, for Heidegger, through the affirmation of anguish in the face of death, and for Lacan, where the subject has assumed the tragedy of his existence - at the end of analysis - it is the affirmation of finitude that makes it possible to hold the desire, authentic or, if you prefer, subject.

Transplantation and human organ donation are controversial issues that have generated much interest and discussion. The lack of clarification and the sensationalist news about organ trafficking contribute to raise questions and render the myths and prejudices permanent.The donation of organs and tissues is seen by society in general, as an act of solidarity and love from the family. However, it requires decision-making at a time of extreme pain and distress, caused by the impact of breaking news of death, the feeling of loss and the unexpected interruption of a life course(1).As the criteria of death are modified, the concept of brain death arises, along with the possibility of using donor organs and tissues. When there is not a good understanding of the organ donation process, the relatives of potential donors feel apprehensive, doubtful and undecided at the time of occurrence, because it is a subject about which there hasn't been much clarification(1).Brazil has the largest public transplants program in the world, since the government finances 92% of procedures done in the country. However, when we consider the rate of post mortem transplant into the population, Brazil's results are little expressive(2).Family refusal is a major obstacle to the realization of transplants, and is also identified as major cause for the shortage of organs and tissues for transplantation. Families who understand well the diagnosis of brain death are more favorable to organ donation, compared to families who believe that death only occurs after the heart stops. Therefore, the poor level of information, either by the quality of information concerning brain death, either by not having exceeded the barrier of stigmatized fear of organ trading, propagated by the media, drastically reduces the number of patients who are benefited from receiving an organ(3).Although all people are responsible for disseminating information, we must also educate health professionals, since they interfere directly in the likely donor's family decision. ...

Maternal mortality attracts a lot of discussion and concern in Paraná seen that reflects
the quality of care in health services, as well as the operation of public policies for
women"s health. The aim of this study was to understand the epidemiology of maternal
mortality in the State of Paraná, through review of studies on the subject. It is a
systematic literature review conducted by electronic search of scientific articles
published between 2000 and 2010 in the databases LILACS and SciELO. Initially, it
was identified 30 articles. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria left 09
articles. The comparison of the data showed a decrease of MMR in the State. Prevailed
direct obstetric causes, with a prevalence of hypertensive diseases. It was concluded that
despite its importance, few articles on maternal mortality in the State of Paraná. The
MMR, although declining, remains at high levels. Such data are necessary to have a
view of the epidemiological situation. They can identify problems and/or failures and
allow for formulating interventionist proposals and order to reduce maternal mortality
rates. More effective actions to reduce preventable maternal deaths in the State are still
indispensable.

The fight against the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil requires integrated and coordinated strategies and actions involving different public policy agencies in the local, state, and federal governments, delivering essential services and emergency programs. Such services rely on public administration's functional areas, designated in this work as the "engine room." The study uses this particular intra-organizational dimension to describe and analyze the administrative functions in the adjustment of the death care services in a municipality, as the final link in the fight against the SARS-CoV-2. The empirical locus is the death care service of São Paulo, Brazil. The service was chosen because it is a public sector monopoly and São Paulo because of the municipality's size – one of the biggest in the world. The research adopted documentary analysis and interviews with local public managers, examining the back office of public administration focusing on finance, human resources, processes and information technology, procurement and contracts, logistics and operations, and communication and marketing. The study discusses the mechanisms of public organizations in the context of the pandemic. It leads to a reflection on the key points of such a health crisis considering different realities, recognizing the limits of analyzing an ongoing phenomenon. ; El enfrentamiento a la COVID-19 en Brasil requiere estrategias y acciones integradas y articuladas entre las tres esferas del gobierno y los diversos sectores de políticas públicas para prestar servicios públicos esenciales y ofrecer programas gubernamentales de emergencia. Para que estas acciones públicas lleguen a los ciudadanos-usuarios, las áreas funcionales de la gestión pública, consideradas metafóricamente en este artículo como 'Sala de Máquinas', entran en operación. Bajo el prisma de esta dimensión intraorganizacional, este estudio tiene como objetivo describir y analizar las funciones administrativas en el ajuste del servicio funerario ‒el eslabón final de la cadena de combate al coronavirus en cualquier ciudad‒. El locus empírico es el servicio funerario del municipio de São Paulo, elegido por su magnitud y por ser el monopolio del sector público. A través del análisis documental y de las entrevistas con gestores públicos locales, el artículo arroja luz sobre el back office por las funcionalidades de las finanzas, recursos humanos, procesos y tecnología de la información (TI), compras y contratos, logística y operaciones y comunicación/marketing, destacando los engranajes de las organizaciones públicas en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria y contribuyendo a reflexionar sobre los puntos clave que deben considerarse en diferentes realidades, aunque con las limitaciones de un análisis de un proceso en curso. ; O enfrentamento à COVID-19 no Brasil demanda estratégias e ações integradas e articuladas entre as três esferas de governo e seus diversos setores de políticas públicas para prestar serviços públicos essenciais e ofertar programas governamentais emergenciais.

The historical document presented here was written on 7 Feb 1935 by the Portuguese Ambassador to Spain, Luiz Teixera de Sampayo. Addressed to the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs, it constitutes an important testimonial of economic & political relations between Portugal & Spain, as well as of the current political situations in both countries, at that time. It was deposited in the Historical-Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the ambassador's death. Adapted from the source document.

The transition of the worker (European) from the Middle Ages to the Modern forced the bourgeois means of production to create ways of positivizing the culture of labour. Beyond the ideologies and misery, themselves, as promoters of the work culture, what we intend in this article is to highlight the role of social security as instruments of subjectivation and normalization, originally disciplinary; using a Foucauldian reading of the theme. We will start from how disciplinary techniques have adjusted workers' bodies to work and have fixed them with the help of pension funds, until we come to the current understanding of social security reforms and counter-reforms as a result of what has today been recognized as a necropolitics. Currently, no longer only of European workers (but global), seen as something that in the name of a biopolitics has become this ultra-defence of life. A defence that, on the edge, would justify even the death of a large part of the population. Therefore, we have the passage from biopolitics to necropolitics. And in the same order, we have the passage of a social security system which is no longer made for the aid or the fixation of the worker, but for the management of the use and disposal (death itself) of this same subject in the labour market.

This article analyzes necropolitics as background of military action in peripheral regions of Brazil. With this, we propose a conceptual deepening about the term necropolitics and an analysis of its performance in The Brazilian territory, exemplified from news published by electronic newspapers between the years 2017 and 2020. For this, the figure of the sovereign will be taken in the light of the articulation between life and language, because with the expectation of pacifying society, a series of discourses are produced with the intention of basing the image of the enemy and justifying the production of territories of deaths.

The publication of the work "The Sense of Beauty" by the philosopher George Santayana marks the maturity of American aesthetics. From a naturalistic psychological approach he turns to the question of beauty to understand why, how and where beauty arises, the conditions necessary for its formation and the elements that help its flowering. Despite its importance, since the philosopher's death in 1952, his work has fallen into a semi forgotten stage. The purpose of this work is precisely to recover from the historical limbo this work so relevant to clarify how Santayana treated the problem of beauty of his youth work.

A decade after the 9/11 terrorist attacks there are some issues that could be examined in order to understand the transformations occurred. This article explores the origins of Al-Qaida and tries to understand whether Al-Qaida had represented a new form of terrorism or a reason to the international security changes and also explores the real Impact of Al-Qaida in the international security. Then it examines the 9/11 impact on the way to think International Relations discipline, and analyses the Al-Qaida in the international system and its future after bin Laden' s death.

This article combines Deleuze's extraordinary analysis of Michel Tournier's 'Friday', where we find the presentation of a duplicated, perverted, version of Robinson Crusoe when compared to Daniel Defoe's classical version, with a critical analysis of conceptions such as being-in-the-world, stemming from Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology. My point is that without Others [Autrui], or what Deleuze calls the structure-Other [structure Autrui], it is the very possibility of 'interpreting' being-in-the-world which is at stake, being a world without Others, the structure-Other, one wherein a pre-ontological comprehension of being is 'uncomprehended', no longer being it possible to attain a facticity of being precisely insofar as one lives, suffers, without Others, a process of an inverted nature, not so much of the facticity of being but of its 'defacticization' (the movement of being-thrown out of and not into the world). I propose, therefore, a new conception of the limit of being-in-the-world not in terms of death but of Others, of what it is to lose Others, the structure-Other, and how this loss implies losing being-in-the-world, the very possibility of interpreting, of comprehending its different structures (being-there, being-with, being-towards-death, etc.). The concept of Others functions then as a giant fold between being-in-the-world and what Artaud called 'the other side of existence', but also between the absence of Others and the creation of 'worlds without Others', all of which 'minor', 'desert islands', 'plateaus', constituted in the immanence of this absence, of the 'outside'.

In this essay we look at the question from Waltz's point of view of the very topical issue of nuclear proliferation. Since the early 1980s until his recent death Waltz kept an active interest and a very specific position on this matter. He denied there was such a thing as nuclear proliferation and, moreover, refused that, in light of structural realism the spread of nuclear weapons, even to a theocracy like Iran, would be a problem. This paper will explain why and around this theme we will draw the intellectual profile of Waltz as a realist that values the role of the State in international security, but was often critical of the security policies of his own state, the United States.

Introduction: in 2019, the proliferation of a virus identified as SARS-CoV-2 emerged in the city of Wuhan, a district in China, quickly spread throughout the world, gaining pandemic status and less than 1 year, its repercussions and magnitude caused scientists, governments and society to adopt severe measures to combat this disease. Objective: to analyze mortality, incidence and mortality from COVID-19 in the municipalities of Botucatu and Serrana, São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: this is an ecological study with a time series design with secondary data. All registered cases and deaths registered by COVID-19 from April 2020 to August 2021 in the municipalities of Botucatu and Serrana, São Paulo, Brazil were considered. The incidence, mortality and lethality rate were used. The monthly and/or weekly percentage variation and their respective 95% confidence intervals were estimated. Results: it identified that 12.88% of the residents of the city of Botucatu were infected with COVID-19 and 8.61% of the population of the municipality of Serrana was infected. There was a stationary trend of mortality and incidence in the period between April 2020 and May 2021 and decreasing in both sexes in the mortality rate in the municipality of Serrana, in the city of Botucatu there was a trend of increasing mortality and incidence in the same period observed. Conclusion: The mass vaccination strategy of citizens in the cities of Botucatu and Serrana present robust data to consider that immunization has a decreasing effect on the number of cases and deaths from COVID-19, which effectively contributes to fighting the pandemic and reduces the contamination and progression of the disease to more severe cases. ; Introdução: em 2019, surgiu na cidade de Wuhan, um distrito na região da China a proliferação com a infecção de um vírus identificado como SARS-CoV-2, rapidamente espalhou-se pelo mundo ganhando status de pandemia em menos de 1 ano, suas repercussões e magnitude fizeram que os cientistas, governos e sociedade adotarem medidas ...

The purpose of this article is to reinforce the alert that the German philosopher Hans Jonas makes in his work Principle responsibility for the imminent possibility of a tragic end of history for humanity if the unpredictable effects arising from the form of action of the liberal political-economic system and the inconsequential advance of the technology that follows are considered. In this intention, we chose as a strategy, to weaken and oppose the Hegelian idea, opposed to Jonah's view, that there would be no cause for alarm because history, in its development, is guided by an immanent and well-intentioned reason that inevitably leads humanity towards the realm of freedom and the absolute spirit. More recently, the American philosopher, economist and political scientist Francis Fukuyama, seeking support in Hegelian thought decreed that history had come to an end with the culmination of the sociocultural evolution of humanity. In this context, we initially seek to present an interpretative analysis of the ideas of Hegel and Fukuyama, and then to make a critique of this way of thinking, in the light of Hans Jonas' arguments. Finally, it is concluded, through the Jonasian lens, that the story, in addition to not having reached its end, as Fukuyama stated, may also have a quite different ending from that imagined by Hegel. Therefore, one should not disregard the occurrence of the hypothesis of an essential death followed by a physical death of the human race, well before the Hegelian project of freedom has a chance to take place. In doubt, it is better for man to be wary of the existence and(or) of the intention and(or) of the capacity of an imminent reason and to retake in time the reins of his own destiny, through the adoption of a new ethical principle: that of responsibility.
