In general, this article seeks to present a literature review involving a discussion of the themes of International Cooperation Haiti-Brazil, hunger in Haiti and the development of Family Farming, surveyed in the Capes¹ and Science Direct ² databases between the years 2000 and 2020. The objective is to understand the impacts of international cooperation on the development of family farming against hunger in Haiti. It is concluded that international cooperations are not sufficient in the face of the Haitian situation, in the fight against hunger and poverty, for the development of family farming, more actions are needed, such as a development plan against poverty that includes investments linked to technologies, the valorization of science, in addition to encouraging cooperation against hunger with social programs to combat inequality in Haiti.

Resumo: A proposta deste artigo é discutir os processos de intervenção da Gestalt-terapia em situação de iminente suicídio, dentro do processo de psicoterapia. Para tal, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa através de uma revisão bibliográfica, utilizando-se da análise de conteúdo do material encontrado. Desse modo, ressalta-se que a pesquisa percorre um caminho histórico do fenômeno suicida e da abordagem gestáltica, para assim, entender e discutir sobre possíveis intervenções frente a iminência do ato suicida. Ademais, pretende-se refletir sobre o papel do Gestalt-terapeuta, frente a esta demanda e como é visto a pessoa que atenta contra a sua própria vida. Posto isso, salienta-se o papel do Gestalt-terapeuta com o manejo as situações de suicídio, possibilitando uma abertura para ouvir o desejo de morte, atuando de modo a realizar desvios éticos, políticos e antropológicos, bem como prestando acolhimento ao sofrimento dos consulentes para a criação conjunta de novas possibilidades de futuro para além da morte. Logo, destaca-se a importância do compromisso ético-político do profissional psicólogo perante o sofrimento do sujeito frente ao suicídio. Palavras-chave: Gestalt-Terapia; Suicídio; Clínica psicológica.  Abstract: The purpose of this article is to discuss the intervention processes of Gestalt therapy in situations of imminent suicide, within the psychotherapy process. To this end, a qualitative research was carried out through a literature review, using the content analysis of the material found. Thus, it is noteworthy that the research follows a historical path of the suicidal phenomenon and the gestalt approach, in order to understand and discuss possible interventions in view of the imminence of the suicidal act. Furthermore, it is intended to reflect on the role of the Gestalt-therapist, facing this demand and how the person who attacks his own life is seen. That said, the role of the Gestalt-therapist with the management of suicide situations is highlighted, enabling an opening to listen to the death wish, acting in a way to carry out ethical, political and anthropological deviations, as well as welcoming the suffering of the consultants for the joint creation of new possibilities for the future beyond death. Therefore, the importance of the ethical-political commitment of the professional psychologist is highlighted in the face of the subject's suffering in the face of suicide.Keywords: Gestalt-Therapy; Suicide; Psychological clinic.

Using Data

Much of international cooperation research has long assumed that building and deepening (i.e. institutionalizing) international agreements can substitute for weak domestic bureaucratic capacity when it comes to promoting cooperative policies between countries. Qualifying this assumption, we argue that domestic bureaucracies are a key piece of international cooperation: the cooperation-inducing effect of international institutions is conditional on the quality of domestic bureaucracies. We examine this relationship in the context of the politics of interstate cooperation over transboundary rivers, an important test case given concerns about looming water conflict in the face of increasing water scarcity. Using data on freshwater-related events, 1984–2006, on the level of institutionalization of river treaties, and on the quality of domestic bureaucracy, we find that domestic bureaucracies moderate the ability of international institutions to elicit cooperative interstate behavior. The finding is robust to a multitude of specifications and provides important implications for institutional research and policy approaches to cooperation problems beyond freshwater.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widely represented species of bacteria possessing of a pathogenic potential. This infectious agent is causing wound infections, fibrotic cystitis, fibrosing pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, etc. The microorganism is highly resistant to antiseptics, disinfectants, immune system responses of the body. The responses of a quorum sense of this kind of bacteria ensure the inclusion of many pathogenicity factors. The analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to formulate four questions concerning the role of biofilms for the adaptation of P. aeruginosa to adverse environmental factors: Is another person appears to be predominantly of a source an etiological agent or the source of P. aeruginosa infection in the environment? Does the formation of biofilms influence on the antibiotic resistance? How the antagonistic activity of microorganisms is realized in biofilm form? What is the main function of biofilms in the functioning of bacteria? A hypothesis has been put forward the effect of biofilms on the increase of antibiotic resistance of bacteria and, in particular, P. aeruginosa to be secondary in charcter. It is more likely a biofilmboth to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and provide topical competition in the face of food scarcity. In connection with the incompatibility of the molecular radii of most antibiotics and pores in biofilm, biofilm is doubtful to be capable of performing a barrier function for protecting against antibiotics. However, with respect to antibodies and immunocompetent cells, the barrier function is beyond doubt. The biofilm is more likely to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and providing topical competition in conditions of scarcity of food resources.

David Hoinski and Ronald Polansky’s “The Modern Aristotle: Michael Polanyi’s Search for Truth against Nihilism” shows how the general tendencies of contemporary philosophy of science disclose a return to the Aristotelian emphasis on both the formation of dispositions to know and the role of the mind in theoretical science. Focusing on a comparison of Michael Polanyi and Aristotle, Hoinski and Polansky investigate to what degree Aristotelian thought retains its purchase on reality in the face of the changes wrought by modern science. Polanyi’s approach relies on several Aristotelian assumptions, including the naturalness of the human desire to know, the institutional and personal basis for the accumulation of knowledge, and the endorsement of realism against objectivism. Hoinski and Polansky emphasize the promise of Polanyi’s neo-Aristotelian framework, which argues that science is won through reflection on reality.
