At this time when the Constitution is being challenged, whether here or in the USA, for example, let's understand where this concept comes from and how it interacts with who we are in society. Currently, constitutionalism is the ideology that generally governs the system of organization of States. The existence of a Constitution, written or not, implies a series of legal norms that limit governments, laws and judges, either by imposing procedures to be followed or by providing basic rights to citizens. However, not only was the organization of powers not always like this, but also the constitutional system itself has undergone many changes since its birth.

After understanding how the body is capable of generating energy for its functioning, it is time to understand how we move. We have energy and we need to transform it into movement. Let's understand how the desire to move reaches our muscles, what mechanisms the Central Nervous System needs to use to do this. Voluntary movements are much more complex than they seem, there are still movements that we do not have full control over. After understanding what a reflex is, the listener will understand that the football commentator is wrong when he says that the goalkeeper made a save “on reflex”.

“We created the era of speed, but we feel trapped within it. The machine, which produces abundance, has left us in poverty. Our knowledge has made us skeptical; our intelligence, hardened and cruel. We think too much and feel too little. More than machines we need humanity, more than intelligence we need affection and sweetness. Without these virtues, life will be one of violence and everything will be lost.” Charlie Chaplin. Final speech from the film “The Great Dictator”, 1940

When and where did Christianity emerge? We can imagine that preaching that “all are equally children of one God” and that they have the same rights, and must treat others with respect and love, must have been, in the imagination of Rome's rulers, an absurd act of rebellion. The type of idea that could very well undermine the unity of the Empire in addition to questioning the Emperor's authority before this supposed “God”. But what was, after all, this revolutionary religion/movement that would become a thorn in the side of Rome's absolute power and that would later become the official religion of the Empire?

The history of the evolution of buildings over the centuries and the improvement of the construction process is entirely related to human evolution. For a few million years, humans basically fed on plants and animals and lived as nomads without establishing roots anywhere. Construction came into existence from the moment there was a need to establish a settlement in a certain region. But this process of human "domestication" will have an influence on how the first towns, villages and all the great constructions of human history are established!

The first musical instruments of European origin came to Brazil with the Portuguese. But that doesn't mean that there was no music here. Native peoples and, later, people brought here as slaves were already playing, singing and dancing! Brazilian music is a universe of quality and talent. And within the Brazilian musical universe, a very peculiar galaxy has emerged: MPB - Brazilian Popular Music! Artists such as Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque, Roberto Carlos and Pixinguinha, to name but a few, were the geniuses behind the mixture of rhythm, melody, harmony and poetry that enchanted and enchants generations of Brazilians and other lovers of good music around the world. MPB is a national pride. And you're going to embark with us on a journey through the decades that brought together these diverse voices, translating international influences and fusing them with what is most authentic in Brazil's regional music. Come and discover the history of MPB!

Time to talk about the greatest of the planets. Yes, Jupiter, the big one. After the asteroid belt that follows Mars, we begin to encounter a different category of planets: the gas giants. Compared to the terrestrial planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), the gas giants are more massive and less dense. The largest of these is Jupiter, which has had a gigantic historical importance (excuse the pun) for the history of our knowledge of the Universe.

Diseases that cause marks and lesions on the skin are often underestimated as conditions that only affect an individual's self-esteem. But did you know that in the case of psoriasis, the effect is systemic and, if left untreated, can compromise joints and even the cardiovascular system? In this episode, we'll unravel this disease whose first reports date back to ancient Greece and which today affects 3 million Brazilians. Although psoriasis compromises physical health, another disease, much more dangerous and present throughout society, impacts on patients' mental health: prejudice. It's very common for a lack of knowledge about this condition to put people with psoriasis in situations of exclusion, because others think it's a contagious disease. To combat this problem, we've brought you information, the best medicine and no contraindications! Listen and share what you understand with us.

Continuing the theme of psoriasis, in this episode we talk to dermatologist Artur Antônio Duarte and dermatologist Sueli Coelho da Silva Carneiro, who works in rheumatology, to explain why psoriasis is a systemic disease and point out other problems the condition can cause when left untreated. During the conversation, the experts tell us that psoriasis can cause three kinds of pain: pain in the inflamed skin, pain in the joints and pain in the soul, which is caused by the stigma and prejudice surrounding the condition. But why joint pain? Well, around 30% of patients with psoriasis also develop psoriatic arthritis, a manifestation of the disease that can lead to deformation of the limbs and have a major impact on the quality of life and autonomy of individuals.

You probably know only a small part of Leonhard Euler's scientific output. We won't blame you for not knowing all of the 866 books and articles that together came to represent approximately a third of the entire body of research in mathematics, physical theories and mechanical engineering published between the years 1726 and 1800. But there's much more to this episode than that. There are some rather peculiar details about the unique trajectory of this great scientist. Maybe some "hypotheses" about how some historical events had a little finger on the pulse of Euler (at least in the fanfics in our heads). Come and listen ;)

Women make up the majority of the Brazilian population (50.77%) and are the main users of the Unified Health System (SUS). They attend health services for their own care, but above all to accompany children and other family members, the elderly, people with disabilities, neighbors and friends. They are also caregivers, not only for children or other family members, but also for people in the neighborhood and community. Women live longer than men, but fall ill more often.

There is no simple answer to all these questions, but they all revolve around a great paradigm: What is man's role in maintaining this precious asset?
