This article aims to demonstrate and analyze some economic and social effects aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. I argue that those effects are the pre-pandemic disastrous political, economic and social consequences of ultraliberal and fascist forces in power. The paper also draws attention to the worsening socio-economic and harmful conditions of this context for the working class, especially for the poorest groups. To make this possible, we have been carrying out documentary and systematic literature reviews since the beginning of the pandemic. The article contributes to broader theoretical debates about the public policy in the Brazilian government's management in facing the CoVid effects, which explains the higher mortality rates and the aggravation of social problems during the current scenario.

According to our calculations, more than two hundred ships were sunk by German submarines off the Portuguese coast during the First World War. In the last few years, historiography has produced several pages about the operability of German submarine warfare, although we still do not know its social and economic impacts. Taking into account the latest scientific advances, we propose new problematics around this subject by correlating new data, in order to ascertain the direct and indirect impacts of German submarine warfare on Portuguese society and economy during the Great War.

The urban space provides the knowledge of the various manifestations of society materialized in its streets, avenues, buildings and squares, allowing a better understanding of the process that, over time, was responsible for its configuration. Thus, we sought to identify the possibilities of heritage interpretation of a city, through the 7 de Setembro Avenue, representative space of the history of Manaus in the periods pre-colonial, colonial, empire and republic, marked by its construction and its buildings. The methodology is qualitative, of the case study type, with the use of bibliographic, documentary sources, instruments such as inventory of tourism supply, observation, and interview. The landscape built on the avenue is a consequence of the social and economic formation of the region, where the main changes occurred as a result of the circulation of goods and the financial capital of two major economic and social development landmarks in the State and in the capital: the rubber cycle (1860-1930) and the creation of the Manaus Free Zone (from 1967 until today). Another result of the research is the suggestion of an interpretative touristic route through 7 de Setembro Avenue, with the main purpose of diversifying the local tourist offer, valuing heritage, and facilitating the understanding of this space.

The Historical Villages of Portugal network (nHVP) integrates 12 historical villages of the Central Region of Portugal with a set of distinctive characteristics: history, culture and heritage. These villages, located in ‘low density territories’, registered the effects of human desertification, enhanced by its interiority and desertification. This article presents the work developed within the scope of the PLowDeR project. This project aims to identify a set of indicators that enable the evaluation of the economic and social impact of the touristic activity of the rAHP, in order to facilitate the planning and the formulation of strategies that promote its sustainability. Seven ‘characterization dimensions’ of analysis were identified. These support a set of indicators, organized in nine ‘dimensions of aggregation’. This framework was validated by the stakeholders of the nHVP, using a focus group design, aiming at replicating it to other low density territories. After this validation, data collection and analysis instruments were devised. In this article the framework will be presented, as well as the methodological process followed to reach it.
