The advertisement has a great influence on the public and, in over the counter medicines (OTC), it can generate health risks on the population if it is misregulated. The aim of this work is to analyze and disclose strategic viable actions emerged from a forum debate during an online course for fostering the pharmacist’s compromise related to OTC advertisement. Methods: A content analysis was carried on, grouping by themes and categories the opinions of community pharmacists participating in a forum debate about OTC advertisement. Two audiovisual advertisement pieces were analyzed as triggers of discussion. Results: Sixty-five professionals participated in 3 groups of debate, and 103 opinions were collected. Among individual strategies, to guarantee the attention by a pharmacist was highlighted when health conditions or the use of medicines are consulted about. Other strategies include denouncing to the ANMAT the advertisements that do not comply with the norms, procuring a better regulation and assuming a critical posture. Within the collective strategies, including pharmacists in the evaluation committee of advertisement of ANMAT and furthering norms to reassess the role of the pharmacist and the community pharmacy in minor illnesses were stressed. Conclusion: The contribution of the community pharmacists allows disposing a set of professional strategies, both individuals and collectives, to promote a rational use of OTC for the patients and the community.

The enterobacterial common antigen (ECA) is conserved in Gram-negative bacteria of the order although its function is debated. ECA biogenesis depends on the Wzx/Wzy-dependent strategy whereby the newly synthesized lipid-linked repeat units, lipid III, are transferred across the inner membrane by the lipid III flippase WzxE. WzxE is part of the Wzx family and required in many glycan assembly systems, but an understanding of its molecular mechanism is hindered due to a lack of structural evidence.

In the 1930s, a series of bubonic plague outbreaks among humans cropped up in several villages at the border of Angola and Namibia. These outbreaks provoked deep concern, laying bare social and political tensions amongst neighboring imperial powers and Indigenous people within the region. Despite the appearance of this disease in what was then considered a recondite place, its spread sparked debate in transnational forums, such as the League of Nations and the Office International d'Hygiène Publique.

Should we implement biomedical interventions like psychopharmaceuticals or brain stimulation that aim to improve morality in society? Since 2008, moral bioenhancement (MBE) has received considerable attention in bioethics, generating wide scholarly disagreement. However, reviews on the subject are few and either outdated or not structured in method. This paper addresses this gap by providing a scoping review of the last 15 years of debate on MBE (from 2008 to 2022).

Political conflict is an essential element of democratic systems, but can also threaten their existence if it becomes too intense. This happens particularly when most political issues become aligned along the same major fault line, splitting society into two antagonistic camps. In the 20th century, major fault lines were formed by structural conflicts, like owners vs.
