Regularização fundiária urbana e direito à cidade: um horizonte alternativo
A regularização fundiária urbana enquanto uma das principais políticas urbanas brasileiras é tema de certa literatura nacional que mostra debates com diferentes pontos de vista. A partir do levantamento e análise de parte dessa literatura, discutimos as contribuições e limites que as concepções de direito à cidade de David Harvey podem proporcionar às discussões em torno dessa regularização nas cidades do Brasil. Para isso, analisamos a literatura com base na técnica do mapa da literatura e buscamos entender as principais ideias desse autor. Entendemos que há dificuldades de abordar uma política social específica sob âmbitos tão amplos de transformação da sociedade e do urbano como ele propõe pensar, somente possível como horizonte ou possibilidade em contraponto à acumulação por despossessão.Palavras-chave: Regularização fundiária urbana. Direito à cidade
Impact of health concepts on healthcare-seeking practices of low-income population in South Coast of Bahia, Brazil / Impacto dos conceitos de saúde nas práticas de busca de atenção à saúde da população de baixa renda no litoral sul da Bahia, Brasil
Objective: By using geospatial and social perspectives, this paper aimed to show the most prevalent health self-concepts among inhabitants living near a specific community health centre in South Bahia, Brazil, in order to investigate the importance of social determinants and the association between health concepts and self-care habits. Methodology: A descriptive research based on the quantitative approach of using qualitative variables was carried out by using Chi-square and Cramer's V tests. A semi-structured questionnaire was administered to participants (N= 501) with geographic coordinates recorded for geospatial analysis. Results: The most prevalent health concepts were the positive and the most addressed care habits were of those in the ‘common sense’ category (p = 0.01). The associations with health concepts were considered statistically significant in terms of age (p = 0.001), level of education (p = 0.0004), and household income (p = 0.0125), and an additional criterion of presence or absence of any disease (p = 0.001). The majority of participants (n=323, CI 122–460 p<0.001) reported they have known the precise location of the community healthcare unit. However, those who lived a greater distance from the unit were unaware of its location. Conclusions: Our results on geospatial analysis corroborate the importance of space planning as an additional social framework for measuring the performance of health policy. Our findings suggest that a more structured and better planning based on health self-concepts and of health service promotion could drive effective strategies that would promote health outcomes in the low- and middle-income communities

Mortality due to systemic mycoses as a primary cause of death or in association with AIDS in Brazil: a review from 1996 to 2006
Deaths caused by systemic mycoses such as paracoccidioidomycosis, cryptococcosis, histoplasmosis, candidiasis, aspergillosis, coccidioidomycosis and zygomycosis amounted to 3,583 between 1996-2006 in Brazil. When analysed as the underlying cause of death, paracoccidioidomycosis represented the most important cause of deaths among systemic mycoses (~ 51.2%). When considering AIDS as the underlying cause of death and the systemic mycoses as associated conditions, cryptococcosis (50.9%) appeared at the top of the list, followed by candidiasis (30.2%), histoplasmosis (10.1%) and others. This mortality analysis is useful in understanding the real situation of systemic mycoses in Brazil, since there is no mandatory notification of patients diagnosed with systemic mycoses in the official health system.FAPESPCNP
ANÁLISE DO DESEMPENHO CONTÁBIL-FINANCEIRO NO AGRONEGÓCIO BRASILEIRO: APLICANDO DEA AOS DADOS DE AGROINDÚSTRIAS DO ANO DE 2006
O Agronegócio é um dos mais importantes setores da economia brasileira e o segmento agroindustrial tem crescido de forma significativa. Devido a esta relevância, as questões técnicas e gerenciais deste segmento necessitam de uma atenção especial. Este artigo procura conduzir uma discussão sobre o desempenho organizacional, com base em variáveis contábil-financeiras, de vários setores econômicos do segmento agroindustrial brasileiro. Através da aplicação da Análise Envoltória de Dados (DEA), busca-se identificar o índice de desempenho multicriterial de cada empresa e fazer uma análise de benchmarking que mostra o quanto uma empresa ineficiente precisa mudar para se tornar eficiente. Os resultados mostraram que as melhores empresas são aquelas que melhor combinaram seus inputs (índices quanto menor melhor) na busca por output (índice quanto maior melhor). Além disso, as piores empresas são aquelas que necessitam de maiores mudanças em seus níveis de inputs e/ou output, para alcançar a eficiência máxima.---------------------------------------------Agribusiness is one of the most important sector of Brazilian economy and its industrial segment has increasingly performed a significant role. Due to this relevance, technical and management issues concerning the segment requires a closer attention. This articles attempts to provide a comprehensive discussion of the organizational performance, with accounting and financial variables, of several economic sectors of the brazilian agribusiness industrial segment. By applying a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), we sought to identify a multicriterial performance index for each company and to provide a benchmarking analysis that shows what inefficient companies should do to become efficient. The results showed that better ranked companies were those that best mixed its inputs (the lowest the best indexes) in the search of output (the greatest the best index). Further, worse ranked companies were those that required deep changes in its inputs and/or output levels in order to reach the maximum efficiency.Agronegócio, Desempenho Contábil-Financeiro, DEA, Agribusiness, Accounting and Financial Performance, Agribusiness,

Pedoenvironments driving the monodominance of Peltogyne gracilipes (Leguminosae) in the Northern Amazon, Brazil
Monodominance is unusual in the tropics when compared to the high diversity of tropical forests. Peltogyne gracilipes (Leguminosae) is a deciduous tree species that forms monodominant forests in the Brazilian Northern Amazon region. Initial research confirmed that P. gracilipes monodominance was associated with higher soil magnesium content, while recent studies have indicated a larger number of variables, suggesting a more complex hydro-edaphic habitat. As such, the present study aimed to describe the hydro-edaphic habitat (pedoenvironment) where P. gracilipes is monodominant. Edaphic and topographic variables (drainage proxy) were used in a forest inventory conducted in 129 sampling plots. Trees with a stem diameter greater than 10 cm were analyzed. Aboveground biomass was used as a descriptive variable of the different habitats in the study area. A total of 3041 individuals were sampled (298 P. gracilipes). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the highest P. gracilipes abundance occurred in poorly drained (seasonal flooding) low-altitude habitats (<66 m), with high soil Fe+2 and Mg+2 concentrations. P. gracilipes monodominance in the study area is best described in habitats with more restricted hydro-edaphic conditions, where drainage is the primary factor and Fe+2 and Mg+2 are secondary agents resulting from the effect of seasonally drained soils. This study contributes to better understanding the environmental filters that characterize areas where P. gracilipes is more abundant, indicating that this species might potentially become monodominant in more restricted hydro-edaphic habitats in the Northern Amazon
Botulism in Cattle Associated with Osteophagy in the State of Acre, Brazil
Background:Botulism is a non-febrile intoxication resulting from the ingestion of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins manifested by partial or complete flaccid paralysis of the musculature of locomotion, swallowing and respiration. The objective of this study was to report the first case of botulinum intoxication associated with osteopathy in the state of Acre, as well as to alert breeders and veterinarians to the incidence of this disease in cattle farming.Case: The present report is an outbreak of botulism in the municipality of Acrelândia, in the state of Acre, which resulted in the death of 16 Nelore beef cattle in approximately 30 days. The affected animals were females in reproductive phase maintained under extensive breeding system. The main clinical signs presented were weakness in the pelvic limbs, prostration, recumbency and death in less than 48 hours. Only one animal, with similar symptomatology, was found alive and submitted to emergency therapeutic measures, but without success. During the necropsy of this bovine, no significant changes were found, only related to the decubitus and agony time, except for fragments of long bones visualized in the reticulum. Samples of bone particles, ruminal contents, reticulum, rumen and intestine fragments were collected for the detection of botulinum toxins by the mouse bioassay method, as well as brain and brain stem for differential diagnosis of rabies and bovine spongiform encephalopathy by direct immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry, respectively. The samples were sent to the Laboratory of General Bacteriology of the Biological Institute, São Paulo, Brazil, and all the analyzes presented negative results.Discussion: One of the main risk factors for the occurrence of botulinum toxin is the presence of carcasses in the pastures, added to the deficiency of phosphorus and other minerals. The cattle develop the habit of gnawing bones and tissues from dead animals in the field. With this exercise, animals can ingest pre-formed toxins in corpses, as decomposing remains offer an anaerobic environment conducive to spore development and toxin production. Bovine females, in breeding, present greater nutritional need than adult males and younger animals. This is because the reproductive phase increases the demands of minerals, vitamins and organic compounds that participate in the female's reproductive physiological process. In this case, the inadequate supply of minerals may stimulate the osteopagic practice of cadaveric remains in the pastures, making the bovids susceptible to botulism. Diagnosis is established by means of clinical signs, epidemiological characteristics and absence of specific anatomopathological findings. Confirmation is given by the isolation of the toxin in the body of the diseased animal. However, the lack of detection of this does not rule out the possibility of occurrence of the disease, in view of the rapid passage of the neurotoxin through the hematogenous route and through the tissues before reaching the neuromuscular junctions. In suspect cases, it is important to perform a differential diagnosis for other diseases that demonstrate clinical symptoms of neurological or acute neuromuscular character. The description of this outbreak, besides exposing the first notification of botulism in the state of Acre, shows the epidemiological relationship between the main risk factors and the occurrence of the disease in the Brazilian herds
