CDC does not endorse the use of a specific model; however, these tools may be used to guide planning and calculate resources needed under different scenarios. Each community should carefully incorporate as much knowledge about its situation as possible to estimate the number of contact tracers needed.
Ethical problems resulting from brain research have given rise to a new discipline termed neuroethics, representing a new kind of knowledge capable of discovering the neural basis for universal ethics. The article (1) tries to evaluate the contributions of neuroethics to medical ethics and its suitability to outline the foundations of universal ethics, (2) critically analyses the process of founding this universal ethic. The potential benefits of applying neuroimaging, psy-chopharmacology and neurotechnology have to be carefully weighed against their potential harm. In view of these questions, an intensive dialogue between neuroscience and the humanities is more necessary than ever.

Toulmin provocatively postulated that medicine saved Western ethics from its implicit, although increasingly decadence product of academic discussions with little concrete value for the lives of human beings, when creating bioethics based on the urgency of physicians at the bedsides of their patients [1]. Despite his astute reflection, he did not consider two aspects. Firstly, beginning in the 1960s, philosophy made an important ethical shift as a result of a "rehabilitation of practical philosophy', which means a priority on the practical, immediate and factual [2, 3]. On the other hand, medical ethics has a long history that it has never abjured; moreover, it has always constituted the first foundation of medicine's ends, theories and practices, and continues to be in full force significantly in the twentieth century [4-6].
The situation changed dramatically after the first half of the twentieth century and in a short time bioethics burst forth, imposed itself and spread with unstoppable force; despite the numerous investigations dedicated to its genesis-medical, legal, economic, historical, philosophical-, there has not yet been a satisfactory elucidation of the motives that provoked this revolution that definitively upset the way in which medicine is practiced. In short, there is a before and an after of this event [12-14]. With a bilocated birth, ecological bioethics, headed by Van Rensselaer Potter [15] and medical bioethics, guided by André Hellegers and Daniel Callahan [16, 17], followed the proposal of the cancer specialist Madison: "As a new discipline....combines biological knowledge with knowledge of the systems of human values" [18]. Its objective was ambitious, to bridge two modes of understanding the condition of human illness based on biological sciences and the humanities and its values. Its spectacular expansion exceeded any prediction and in a few years it compromised not only medicine in its totality, but also law, economy, philosophy and politics. Three attributes characterize its growth when applied to human illness: to elaborate specific procedures that serve to guide medical action in its very diverse fields; a particular concern about its application with the aim that it not remain in dead letters, because of which it was necessary to recommend sanctions in cases of negligence or abuse; and developing certain principles sufficiently general that they can serve as the basis for ordering behavior and taken in account requires acceptance by all members in order to aspire to universal in an axiological and polytheistic society like that of today [19]. In other words, foundations, systems of prescriptions or procedural guides and regulated and effective sanctions.
Wilson has attempted to respond to this problem-personal and impersonal dilemmas-reviewing the results of research involving the evolutionary origin of social relationships [58]. Archeological studies have shown that in the Pleistocene primitive humans were hunter-gatherers, they lived in small communities of no more than 130 individuals of the same race and religion. The close, permanent and firm social link allowed them to survive and successfully confront the multiple dangers of an inhospitable and threatening environment. Life depended on mutual support, shared tasks and help provided among the members of the tribe. Thus a primary moral was born by means of a process of natural selection of affects, emotions and instincts that favored mutual help with those close by and systematically excluded or expelled strangers. Consequently, morality is the final expression of adaptation, a product of survival by natural selection. The brain imprints upon its neuronal circuits these codes of moral functioning with the passing of millions of years, and these codes, because they are recorded on neurons, synapses and circuits, are universal, extending throughout the human race. These rules of moral procedure are imposed rapidly on actions, without recourse to higher cognitive or intellectual rational processes, which would delay their action and lead to the demise of the subject and the tribe [56, 57, 59]. This morality of group salvation based on reciprocity to achieve personal salvation has to be ruled according to a categorical imperative that is very distinct what Kant proposed, which has become the code of modernity and that consists of something like "love the near and reject the distant'.
3. Metaphysics, which is sustaining throughout the edifice, cannot be resolved by empirical science because science itself is the result of a certain onto-logical conception that makes it possible, and that, at least, comes from the modern epoch. As Zubiri said, modernity has consisted of a progressive entification of reality and a logification of thinking [64]. In turn, transcending the cerebral "is" to the moral "duty" is not a trival matter, as Hume emphasized terming it a naturalistic fallacy [65]. Heidegger pointed it out with special profundity, current natural science proceeds according to a special thought, calculating and re-presentative (vor-stellende) [66]. This means that its manner of understanding reality, in this case, the reality of human beings in their moral slope, is dominating, im-posing, target-ing, calculating, and with that, numbering. What gets the scientist thinking is not something little, their data are not minor, but a price must be paid: take the "objective" reality pertaining to our condition but without considering the "way of being" proper to manhood as such. Objective science sees morality as an object-posed (ge-stezt) before a subject, as a norm (Ge-setzt) that exists in the brain, moral consciousness as a reified court that investigates the self and its actions. It is overlooked that our being is nothing but a project-of-being, never defined for once and for all, free to choose us and reach ourselves, or lose ourselves and mimicking ourselves with things of everyday life. It is clear, although we choose at every moment, we are not free, that is, we do not have the freedom to give ourselves our first foundation since it has already been given, we are already-in(sc/zon-se/n)-the-world, we are thrown among things and persons from the moment we are born [67]. Neuroethics must not repeat the insufficiencies of the neuropsychological sciences born in laboratories of the early twentieth century, programs that were full of hope and ideals but ended in not fulfilling expectations because of lack of meditative thinking [68]. To transform medical ethics into scientific neuroethics requires reviewing its metaphysical basis to be at the height of its future conquests and thus avoid confusing, mixing and dissolving the data with that which allows and makes possible that the data appears [69, 70].
This is a qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study, characterized by an investigation process of an activity from its relational context, and the subjectivity of the observer to the environment in which they are inserted(11). It was conducted in a Caps III located in the North Health District of Campinas, SP, which has a team of 40 professionals, being 25 of medium level and 15 higher level, and composes three reference teams that divide the territory.
This study was limited by the circumscription of the scenario, however what can be taken away is that thee relationship with the person can be a focus of the embracement in other scenarios in which the suffering is articulated to PAS use. In this way, it is possible to find embracement approaches that consider the third subjective plane, focusing on the person of the PAS user in the context of current public health policies.
In the description of block-oriented models, several approaches can be found in the literature for performing the identification process. In this article, we focus on a particular and widely-used type of block-oriented nonlinear models, the Wiener-like model, and assume it has a parametric representation.
The 20000 first samples are devoted to identification and other 10000 to validation. The identification process was carried following the description given in álvarez et al. (2011). In this case, a Laguerre expansion of order 1 was selected with poles 0.95 and 0.8.
BACKGROUND: The introduction of home-based care in rural communities in the 1980s contributed immensely toward the upliftment of the personal and environmental health of communities. Women's groups provided health promotion skills and health education to communities and made a difference in health-related behaviour change. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to explore and describe the home-based carers' perception regarding health promotion concerning sexual health communication in Vhembe district, in the context of HIV, amongst communities still rooted in their culture. METHOD: A qualitative, explorative and descriptive design was used in order to understand home-based carers' perceptions regarding health promotion on sexual health communication amongst rural communities which may adversely impact on health promotion practices. The population were home-based organisations in Vhembe. The sample was purposive and randomly selected and data were gathered through semi-structured face-to-face interviews and focus groups which determined data saturation. Open coding was used for analysis of data. RESULTS: The results indicated that sexual communication was absent in most relationships and was not seen as necessary amongst married couples. Socioeconomic conditions, power inequity and emotional dependence had a negative impact on decision making and sexual communication. CONCLUSION: This study, therefore, recommends that educational and outreach efforts should focus on motivating change by improving the knowledge base of home-based carers. Since they are health promoters, they should be able to change the perceptions of the communities toward sexually-transmitted infections and HIV by promoting sexual health communication. 2ff7e9595c
