CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA COBERTURA VEGETAL URBANA PARA A QUALIDADE AMBIENTAL E DE VIDA NO CENTRO DA CIDADE DE SÃO PAULO

A alteração do meio físico, causada pela crescente aglomeração populacional, leva ao aumento dos impactos socioambientais, principalmente nas grandes cidades e metrópoles de países subdesenvolvidos e emergentes, como o Brasil. As qualidades ambiental e de vida urbana tornam-se insatisfatórias, e, para estimar o bem-estar da população, são criados índices que abordam contextos relacionados a condições econômicas, sociais e ambientais. Dessa forma, este trabalho objetivou discutir os critérios de índices para avaliar, especialmente, a qualidade de vida e verificar a contribuição da cobertura vegetal na qualidade ambiental dos distritos do centro da cidade de São Paulo (Bela Vista, Bom Retiro, Cambuci, Consolação, Liberdade, República, Santa Cecília e Sé), considerando dados demográficos e o Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano (IDH). Os dados demográficos, de cobertura vegetal e o IDH foram obtidos de mapeamentos realizados anteriormente por diversos autores. Os valores referentes à quantidade de cobertura vegetal foram comparados e analisados de acordo com o número de habitantes do Censo 2000. O Índice de Cobertura Vegetal e a distribuição da cobertura vegetal por habitante foram relacionados com o IDH, referente a cada distrito, obtido de estudo realizado em 2002 pela Secretaria do Desenvolvimento, Trabalho e Solidariedade (Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo). Verificou-se que há grande discrepância entre os valores esperados para cada local quando são considerados aspectos demográficos, visto que distritos com maior quantidade de vegetação nem sempre apresentam a melhor distribuição desta entre seus habitantes. Da mesma forma, a maioria dos distritos que registra IDH consideravelmente maior é a que apresenta distribuição da cobertura vegetal por habitante mais baixa. Pode-se concluir que os índices de avaliação de qualidade de vida que não consideram devidamente a conservação da natureza nas áreas urbanas, como o IDH, não refletem adequadamente condições ambientais mínimas para uma boa qualidade de vida. Portanto, é de extrema importância que o centro de São Paulo seja considerado um dos locais prioritários para revisão de suas políticas públicas.

Sporotrichosis in Southern Brazil, towards an epidemic?

Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is the second highest state with respect to sporotrichosis incidence in Brazil, with most cases occurring in the southern region. Given the importance of epidemiologic monitoring in hyperendemic areas, this study evaluated the spatial, geographical and annual sporotrichosis incidence over a period of 7years in the southern region of RS, as well as the disease evolution over the last two decades. Data were collected from the Mycology Laboratory of the Federal University of Rio Grande (FAMED-FURG) and from the Centre for Zoonosis Control (CZC) of the Prefeitura Municipal of Pelotas city. All feline cases of sporotrichosis diagnosed between 2010 and 2016 were included and analysed. In addition, cases of human and canine sporotrichosis were accounted for. Over the 7-year period (2010-2016), 372 feline, 34 canine and 83 human cases of sporotrichosis were diagnosed, being the mean number of cases/year 18.33 in the first 3years of the study and 116.33 in the last 3years. Cases were distributed among 34 and 28 neighbourhoods in Rio Grande and Pelotas city, respectively. Socioeconomic features reinforced the result that the disease is already spreading across a major part of the southern region. In addition, the study demonstrated the intensification and expansion of the high endemicity areas. Therefore, given that the number of feline sporotrichosis cases in southern RS reached alarming proportions, we suggested that this region will promptly face an epidemic of sporotrichosis if no preventive or control measures are undertaken.

O uso de SIG no mapeamento de Orientação

The aim of this article is to present the use of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) as a support tool for cartographical mapping related to the Orienteering Sport, as a contribution for the enhancement of the currently used techniques, which result will be spread between the members of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (Brazilian Federation of Orienteering), which gathers the main cartographers of the sport in Brazil and regulates the main aspects related to the production of maps for Orienteering. Therefore, the Campus of UFMS (Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso do Sul) was mapped, according to the ISSOM 2007 (International Specification for Sprint Orienteering Maps), on the scale of 1:4.000 using orthophotographs with ground sample distance of 10 cm and vectorial files (contour lines with equidistance of 1 metre and urban zoning) of Campo Grande city distributed freely by Prefeitura Municipal de Campo Grande as data source for the base map. The data was processed using the software QGIS (QGIS Development Team 2016), a free and open source Geographical Information System (GIS), and the Original Computer File was developed using OCAD software, an specific program for Orienteering maps, being validated by its utilisation on the final stage of the II Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense de Orientação (2nd Orienteering Championship of Mato Grosso do Sul). To ratify, in official ways, the obedience to the international specifications, it was sent to the evaluation of the Quadro de Mapeadores da CBO (the official cartographers group of CBO) and, as a result, it was approved and included in the data base of the confederation, under the register number 232.

Análise Temporal das Receitas da Prefeitura Municipal de Santa Maria

This report developed a temporal analysis of monthly income of the Prefeitura Municipal de Santa Maria (PMSM) in the period from August 2005 to July 2011, totalizing 72 observations. It was identified the trend component of the series, so finding a steady increase in the monthly income. After removing the trend, the seasonal pattern was identified in the income. The peak of collection is in January, due to taxes revenue and transfers are more intense in this period. It was found that there are reductions of income, followed by jumps over the year. Thus, we proposed the preparation of a quarterly planning horizon, the frequency that occur the falls in the collected volume, applying the excess resources of the peak months to help spending in the months of low income. We analyzed the serial dependence by an Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model. There are dependencies with 1, 8 and 9 lagged months for the AR component, all with a negative sign. The MA component for 12 lagged months was positively significant. So, disequilibrium at the income of a month lead to later consequences, making crucial the control and accuracy of the municipal budget because any deviation persists throughout the year. Key words : Municipal Income, Time Series, Trend, Seasonality, Serial Dependence.

"What you always wanted to know about lupus and never dared to ask": proposal for a patient education program

Introduction: studies on chronic diseases highlight the importance of patient education to promote adherence to treatment and improve prognosis. Objective: to know the main questions from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (LES) as a starting point for the preparation of a Patient Education Program. Method: this was a descriptive and cross-sectional study. For six weeks, LES patients treated at the Rheumatology Department of the General Hospital wrote their questions about the disease in a white sheet and placed it in a box. Results: 260 consultations were analyzed and 111 sheets were completed, totaling 393 questions with an average of 3.54 questions per patient, which were classified into nine categories: treatment and prevention (18.8%); clinical framework and diagnostic (18.3%); etiology and pathophysiology (17.0%); prognosis and progression (16.3%); concept and epidemiology of the disease (8.1%); general guidelines (6.1%); contraception, pregnancy, and fertility (7.4%); psychological aspects and sexuality (6.9%); and excluded questions (1%). Conclusion: it was observed that most of the questions reflected themes often approached during medical consultations.

Mosquitoes in degraded and preserved areas of the Atlantic Forest and potential for vector-borne disease risk in the municipality of São Paulo, Brazil

In order to assess the epidemiological potential of the Culicidae species in remaining areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, specimens of this family were collected in wild and anthropic environments. A total of 9,403 adult mosquitoes was collected from May, 2009 to June, 2010. The most prevalent among species collected in the wild environment were Anopheles (Kerteszia) cruzii, the Melanoconion section of Culex (Melanoconion), and Aedes serratus, while the most common in the anthropic site were Coquillettidia chrysonotum/albifera, Culex (Culex) Coronator group, and An. (Ker.) cruzii. Mosquito richness was similar between environments, although the abundance of individuals from different species varied. When comparing diversity patterns between environments, anthropic sites exhibited higher richness and evenness, suggesting that environmental stress increased the number of favorable niches for culicids, promoting diversity. Increased abundance of opportunistic species in the anthropic environment enhances contact with culicids that transmit vector-borne diseases.

Mapeamento do fluxo de valor do projeto executivo de arquitetura em um órgão público

Proposal: The authors proposes to use a Lean tool - Value Stream Mapping (VSM) - to analyze the flow of the architectural executive design in a government organization in charge of designing lowincome housing projects. The initial hypothesis was that the long lead time necessary to design such projects was a consequence of the many forms of waste that plague its design flow. The VSM represents the information and material flows which are part of a process, it allows the analysis of the resources used to carry it out and how these resources could be used in a more effective way. The authors used the VSM to carry out an exploratory study at Fundação de Desenvolvimento Habitacional da Prefeitura Municipal de Fortaleza – Habitafor to investigate the architectural executive design. The research design and its main phases were based on the literature about Lean Office. The current and future state maps are presented and suggestions to improve the flow of work are discussed. The changes proposed aimed at reducing lead times and promoting stability, e.g., availability of online information about the land available for projects developed by the city hall; addition of a staff and a value stream manager; use of safety resources; use of production cells; standardization of procedures used by different stakeholders involved in the process. The authors estimated that with the implementation of the proposed changes the total lead time would be reduced by 34.2% due to the reduction of rework and time wasted on non-value adding activities, but this number will have to be confirmed in future studies. This study intends to contribute to a more effective use of resources in the design phase of low-income housing projects through the use of solutions based on Lean Thinking. Key-words: Lean Thinking. Value stream. Design management.

Recuperação Ambiental e Saúde Pública: o programa Guarapiranga

Este trabalho avalia impactos do Programa de Recuperação Ambiental e Urbanização na área da bacia da represa Guarapiranga. Foi realizado dentro do Projeto Cities and Health em parceria da Organização Mundial de Saúde, Kobe Centre do Japão, da Faculdade de Saúde Pública da Universidade de São Paulo e da Prefeitura Municipal de São Paulo.Para avaliação foram escolhidas duas favelas abrangidas pelas intervenções do Programa: Jardim Souza, com 552 domicílios e área de 6.011,86 m² e Jardim Arnaldo com 542 famílias e área de 28.210,00 m , ambas no Município de São Paulo, distrito do Jardim Ângela, à margem esquerda da represa Guarapiranga e sub-bacia do córrego Guavirituba. São núcleos próximos, inseridos no mesmo contexto socioeconômico e ambiental. A sub-bacia do Guavirituba foi identificada como responsável pelo maior aporte de cargas poluidoras à Represa, sendo priorizada pelas ações de saneamento. A favela Jd. Souza teve sua urbanização concluída em 1998, mas a favela Jd. Arnaldo ainda não tinha sofrido as intervenções, na ocasião da presente pesquisa. A comparação entre as duas, como exemplos da situação anterior e posterior às ações do Programa, foi objeto deste artigo. Uma das virtudes do Programa foi atuar em ocupações irregulares e em favelas situadas na área de proteção dos mananciais, buscando a compatibilização da moradia dos pobres e a manutenção da qualidade ambiental da represa. Ainda que as soluções não tenham causado o efeito desejado, ao intervir nestas áreas, o poder público demonstra capacidade de reconhecer o problema, o primeiro passo para resolvê-lo.

Creating the Image of a Modern Fortaleza

With close to 2 million inhabitants, Fortaleza, capital of state of Ceara, concentrates majority of population and economic activity of its metropolitan region.' Its unemployment rate stands at over 12 percent, and more than 36 percent of population work in informal sector (Fortaleza, Prefeitura Municipal, 1998: 23). About 30 percent of inhabitants live in shantytowns that are found in 87 of 114 administrative districts into which city is divided (Falcao, 1996: 96). The proportion of heads of families with monthly incomes of R$ 755 (US$400)2 or less is 78 percent, and over a third of these survive on minimum wage of R$ 151 (US$80) a month or less (Fortaleza, Prefeitura Municipal, 1998: 25). With regard to income distribution, Gini index relating to average family monthly income in 1996 was 0.618. According to household budget survey of Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatistica (Brazilian National Institute of Geography and Statistics-IBGE) (1990; available at http:// www.sidra.ibge.gov.br), this places it as worst among nine metropolitan regions of Brazil. Despite such statistics, since early 1990s Fortaleza's image has been no longer one of misery and drought but one of the Miami of Brazilian Northeast or the Brazilian Caribbean (Cabral, 1994). One sign of this change has been increase in number of tourists it has attracted. In 1997, according to a survey conducted by Associaqao Brasileira de Agencias de Viagem, Fortaleza had become most popular destination for Brazilian tourists (Pessoa, 1998: 62). Another indication is offered by a
