Abstract: calls for new theoretically grounded data models for spatio-temporal phenomena, this paper presents an approach to modeling geographic information based on the single primitive of process. Its objective is to present a conceptual model for process models, offering an alternative to current approaches that focus on change in mappable geographic objects such as rivers, watersheds, or cadastral units. This entails focusing on modeling processes rather than modeling future system states, providing leverage in answering process queries such as where is a process operating when, and what processes in the model caused a certain modeled state. The conceptual model is based on the philosophical foundations of process philosophy and four-dimensionalism, which highlight the primitive nature of process itself and how the temporal identity of the process might be maintained and its temporal parts dealt with. A data model and sample implementation is provided.

Abstract: The principal aim of this article is to discuss the possible senses of humanization in the production of primary health care. For the fulfillment of this aim, the article opens a brief interlocution with the reference literature about humanization of health services identifying those senses that come closer to the approach that will be adopted here. From that point, it performs a discussion that will bring other senses to the proposals of humanization not yet explored in this debate, centralizing in a philosophical questioning of the ways of defining the human. At the end, considering determined characteristics of the production of primary health care, it explores how these new senses could contribute not only on the humanization of services, but how the services can contribute to our own humanization.

Abstract: Humanization is a key concept in recent proposals for the reconstruction of health practices toward a more comprehensive, effective and accessible care in Brazil. Although much effort has already been made to discuss and rebuild technologies and services planning, there is a comparatively scarce work upon theoretical and philosophical bases for these changes. This reflexive essay aims to explore the potential of Hermeneutics to respond to this essential task, if we are to a truly radical review of health practices meaning and organization. Contemporary hermeneutics is then revisited with regard to some of the ethical and epistemological challenges related to health practices humanization goals.

Abstract: The question of a unified theory of information is addressed from the logical position of many-valued ontologies. Information is described as an operational factor which forms a trans-contextural bridge between disjunct ontological systems (or monocontextures).

Abstract: Polanyi and Blaga are two centennial philosophers who could be compared. They both are philosophers who have abandoned the attempt to analyze science as the form of culture capable of complete objectivity and the language solely in terms of its referential force, to make representational knowledge impersonal and to split fact from value.

Abstract: The author's concept of incommensurability is explicated by elaborating the claim that some terms essential to the formulation of older theories defy translation into the language of more recent ones. Defense of this claim rests on the distinction between interpreting a theory in a later language and translating the theory into it. The former is both possible and essential, the latter neither. The interpretation/translation distinction is then applied to Kitcher's critique of incommensurability and Quine's conception of a translation manual, both of which take reference-preservation as the sole semantic criterion of translational adequacy. The paper concludes by enquiring about the additional criteria a successful translation must satisfy.
