We start from a critique of conventional cartographic representations and a brief survey of the writings in geography and architecture and urbanism on space, gender and sexualities. We will approach the transit of a group of drag queens in Foz do Iguaçu, Paraná, through streets and collective public bathrooms, which we consider transient places. We will report a fieldwork that accompanied this group for three different nights, using the mobile methodology of shadowing, and later on producing two sets of cartographies: the maps of violence, which collaboratively represented the spatial repressions in the mobile experience of these drag queens; and the 'bathly' collages, that is, self-representations of the experiences of some of them in the restrooms.

It was objectified with this research, to carry through the space distribution of the average incidence of the new cases tuberculosis, in Fair of Santana - Bahia and to relate its occurrence with the socioeconômicas conditions. For in such a way, they had been enclosed in the study, the new cases of tuberculosis notified in the city of Fair of Santana - Bahia in the period of 2005 -2016. Initially the average incidence of the cases was calculated and to correlate this morbidade and the socioeconômicas 0 variable of the quarters and agricultural districts, the model of regression of Poisson was used. Such 0 variable had been gotten from the demographic Census of IBGE, 2010. The results had pointed that a bigger concentration of the average incidence in the quarters was had central offices. With regard to the association of the average incidence of the tuberculosis with the socioeconômicas 0 variable, it verified direct associations between incidence of the illness and the ratio of domiciles with 11 or more people, ratio of domiciles with garbage collected for cleanness service, with general net of supplying and without bathroom or bathroom. It was concluded that the space distribution of the tuberculosis occurs of heterogeneous form and that in the quarters with low social vulnerability, present one high tax of average incidence of the pathology. What if it takes the necessity of new studies to elucidate this question. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Starting from the presuppose that bathrooms are places "on margin" from organization, once they are spaces of passage associated to excretion, in this study we deal with way communication is expressed in social relations at organization. We have made an iconographic research, based on graffiti photographies in 78 bathrooms of an university, data examined through content analysis. Analyzed graffiti express taboos related to sexuality and to eschatology, and even being a non-place, where free expression is "tolerated", in bathrooms there are control attempts at individual, organizational and social levels. Main contributions suggest that inclusion and exclusion are closely related to power relations. Aligned subjects to hegemonic position condemn the difference among subjects and, when they valorize homogeneity, submit individuals, once they control their forms of communicating in organizations.

A study was carried out to evaluate the presence of thermotolerant coliforms in sinks of public restrooms. Eleven restrooms located in the city of Três Corações - MG were analyzed. These bacteria are indicators of contamination by organic matter of intestinal origin. The individuals transmit the contaminants that might be in their hands when touching the sink taps. Right after washing their hands, they recontaminate the hands by touching again the sink tap, establishing the infectious cycle. As for the results, 24% of the sink taps and 73% of the restrooms showed positive results concerning the presence of thermotolerant coliforms, indicating that the act of washing hands is not effective and that it might affect the health of individuals. A health program which makes the population aware of how important the hand washing process is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
