This article aims to reflect on time, in particular on some of our temporal experiences. Considering the flow that constitutes what we can designate as "objective time", we frame it inter-subjectively through the categories of the past, present and future, but we feel it, live it and understand it subjectively. It is on this last dimension that this article focuses. Based on a reflection by Hannah Arendt on the...
This article assumes that the pandemic context has negative consequences in ethical and political terms. Social isolation keeps us more and more away from our peers and the risk of our survival legitimizes a politics centered on exclusively vital concerns. In political terms, this situation can be understood as the culmination of a biopolitics that, according to Foucault, has been installed since the 18th centu...

Este artigo pressupõe que o contexto pandémico que atravessamos tem consequências negativas em termos éticos e políticos. O isolamento social mantémnos cada vez mais separados dos nossos pares e o risco da nossa sobrevivência torna legítima uma política exclusivamente centrada em preocupações vitais. Em termos políticos, esta situação pode ser compreendida como o culminar de uma biopolítica que, de acordo com F...
This article intends to reflect on Hannah Arendt’s concept of banality of evil. It starts with an analysis of the film Hannah Arendt by Margarethe von Trotta. This beginning is not a mere pretext. Because it is a relatively current cinematographic work, it has a public disclosure far superior to the written work of Arendt. In this sense, it becomes important to confront the film, elucidating its aspects more or...

In this work, magnetron sputtered CrNx thin films with nitrogen concentrations ranging from 17 to 30 at.% were deposited on plasma activated ABS. Two sets of thin films were obtained by varying the N-2 flow inside the vacuum chamber (series #1) and the deposition time (series #2). The polymer samples were also subjected to plasma treatment in Ar prior to the CrNx thin films' deposition, in order to enhance the ...
Newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) has been shown to be advantageous for children with CF, and has thus been included in most NBS programs using various algorithms. With this study, we intend to establish the most appropriate algorithm for CF-NBS in the Portuguese population, to determine the incidence, and to contribute to elucidating the genetic epidemiology of CF in Portugal. This was a nationw...
