Histórico da representação das favelas cariocas em mapas

Maps, as well as law, are regulated distortions of social territories (Santos, 2001). By analysing Rio de Janeiro’s local maps (notarial records, aerial photographs, urban projects, decrees, tourists maps, participatory maps, digital maps etc.) from 1928 to the current year, especially those of the Cantagalo slum – Pavão hill – area, located between Copacabana and Ipanema’s neighbourhoods –, and crossing their information with the history of the struggle for permanence and rights gradually acquired by residents (from 1907 until now), one can clearly see the gradual change of some Rio de Janeiro’s slums from opaque spaces to bright ones (Santos, 2009). Based on the maps’ analysis, it’s possible to question whether the brightness of some slums happens at the expense of the opacity of others, for the slums without UPP [Police Peacekeeping Unit] end up being removed from the state’s mapping route and the major mapping companies, like Google.Keywords: mapping, law, slum, representation, participation.Os mapas, assim como o direito, são distorções reguladas de territórios sociais (Santos, 2001). No presente artigo, foram analisados os mapas cariocas (cadastrais, aerofotografias, projetos urbanísticos, decretos, mapas turísticos, mapas participativos, mapas digitais, etc.) de 1928 até o ano vigente, especialmente os da região onde se encontra a favela Cantagalo – morro do Pavão, situado entre os bairros Copacabana e Ipanema –, e cruzadas as informações neles contidas com o histórico de luta pela permanência e os paulatinos direitos adquiridos pelos moradores (1907 até o ano vigente). Assim, revela-se visualmente a gradual conversão de uma parcela das favelas do Rio de Janeiro de espaços opacos em espaços luminosos (Santos, 2009). Com base na análise dos mapas, é possível indagar: será que a luminosidade de algumas favelas acontece em detrimento da opacidade de outras? Pois as favelas que não possuem UPP acabam saindo da rota de mapeamento do Estado e das principais empresas de mapeamento, como é o caso da Google.Palavras-chave: mapeamento, direito, favela, representação, participação

Razões de isótopos estáveis em um testemunho de firn do manto de gelo da Antártica Oriental

O testemunho de firn IC-02 (88°01’21,3"S e 82°04’21,7"W), atingindo 41,82 m de profundidade, foi coletado no manto de gelo da Antártica Oriental, durante uma travessia científica chileno-brasileira no verão austral de 2004/2005. Este estudo visou à determinação da variabilidade sazonal das razões isotópicas de oxigênio e hidrogênio (ẟ18O e ẟD) e da taxa anual de acumulação de neve. O testemunho foi subamostrado em um sistema de fusão contínua e o conteúdo isotópico determinado por espectrometria a laser de cavidade ressonante do tipo ring-down (WS-CRDS, sistema Picarro). A série de ẟ18O varia entre ‑50,77‰ e ‑41,40‰ (média -46,39 ± 1,37‰), enquanto o ẟD varia entre -408,18‰ e ‑323,85‰ (média -367,43 ± 12,51‰). O excesso de deutério (d) tem média de 4,36 ± 2,66‰. O testemunho representa 85 ± 3 anos de acumulação de neve, ou seja, uma taxa média de 152 ± 64 mm ano‑1 em equivalente d'água. A partir da década de 1990 ocorreu a diminuição da média anual de δD concomitante com o aumento da taxa de acumulação de neve (17% entre 1974 e 2003). O aumento desta acumulação poderia estar associado à maior mobilização de neve à deriva (drift snow) até o sítio de deposição, associada à maior advecção de massas de ar oceânicas vindas dos mares antárticos (Amundsen, Bellingshausen, Weddell e Lazarev). Tal interpretação é apoiada pelo aumento da velocidade dos ventos zonais, conforme observado nos campos de anomalias de altura geopotencial, vento zonal e temperatura em 500 mb da reanálise NCEP/NCAR

Comparison of Demographic, Clinical, Biochemical, and Imaging Findings in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Prognosis:A Network Meta-Analysis

Background: Despite hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) being the most common inherited heart disease and conferring increased risk for heart failure (HF) and sudden cardiac death (SCD), risk assessment in HCM patients is still largely unresolved. Objectives: This study aims to synthesize and compare the prognostic impact of demographic, clinical, biochemical, and imaging findings in patients with HCM. Methods: The authors searched PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for studies published from 1955 to November 2020, and the endpoints were: 1) all-cause death; 2) an arrhythmic endpoint including SCD, sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, or aborted SCD; and 3) a composite endpoint including (1) or (2) plus hospitalization for HF or cardiac transplantation. The authors performed a pairwise meta-analysis obtaining the pooled estimate separately for the association between baseline variables and study endpoints. A random-effects network meta-analysis was subsequently used to comparatively assess the prognostic value of outcome associates. Results: A total of 112 studies with 58,732 HCM patients were included. Among others, increased brain natriuretic peptide/N-terminal pro–B-type natriuretic peptide, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), positive genotype, impaired global longitudinal strain, and presence of apical aneurysm conferred increased risk for the composite endpoint. At network meta-analysis, LGE showed the highest prognostic value for all endpoints and was superior to all other associates except New York Heart Association functional class >class II. A multiparametric imaging-based model was superior in predicting the composite endpoint compared to a prespecified model based on conventional risk factors. Conclusions: This network meta-analysis supports the development of multiparametric risk prediction algorithms, including advanced imaging markers additively to conventional risk factors, for refined risk stratification in HCM.
