BACKGROUND: This article presents a didactic sequence with the content of corporal practices of adventure, taking as main focus the articulations with the debate on collective health from the historical pedagogy-critical and curricular principles for dealing with the knowledge of the critical-overcoming approach. Understanding that collective health is based on a dialectical contribution and that it takes the whole of the individual in this historical particularity, we defend that this concept of health has sufficient scope to dialogue with the teaching of the different activities of Body Culture in the search for a critical training. OBJECTIVE: The objective is to present the theoretical-methodological path of the teaching of the corporal practices of adventure considering the possibilities of enjoyment and living in urban environment, more specifically in the parks of the city of Goiânia, GO, Brazil. METHODS: The methodology of exposition was outlined based on the principles of an experience report, which aims to present in detail a pedagogical proposal already materialized in dialogue with the scientific production. RESULTS: a) the process of teaching and learning the corporal practices of adventure on land, in the air and in the water, in their modalities tree climbing, slackline and stand up paddle and technical, historical and vertigo dimensions; b) Debate on the forms of access to the practices of adventure and exploration of public spaces in Goiânia; c) Understanding the contradictions about the particularity of our society (capitalism); d) Construction of alternative material. CONCLUSION: The students understood the concepts of the corporal practices of adventure and the social determinants of health, criticizing the lack of public policies of access to body culture and pointing out alternative (and provisional) possibilities for the community to experience and enjoy these goods, even against the logic of capital.

Wetlands are fragile ecosystems and are important for water recharge in rural and urban landscapes. However, urban occupation patterns do not highlight the local importance of these environments in providing ecosystem services and do not prevent their degradation. A viable methodology for assessing the levels of anthropization is the calculation of hemerobic indices, which in turn are associated with the level of technological dependence of the landscape. The objective of this research is to evaluate the level of hemerobicity of landscapes in the urban core of Inhumas, metropolitan region of the state of Goiás. Five hemerobic levels of wetland landscape were identified, where High and Maximum hemerobic levels predominate, which compromises their ecosystem functions. Cartography based on the principles of Landscape Geoecology indicates hierarchical levels that can be considered by the public authorities in urban planning and management. This enables the selection of critical areas for mitigation, recovery and rehabilitation interventions in the urban environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

To read photographic images through Iconography and Iconology can be an interesting way to help describe landscapes. Which is the intention that corroborates the sense of “landscape as a way of seeing” proposed by Denis Cosgrove. In proposing this research aims to understand how the urban and cultural landscape was portrayed in Glück ́s photographs. This study object is delimited by Glück’s records about 1940, in the urban environment of the city of Lapa. These spaces were registered through the eyes of an immigrant, presenting the temporal transformations, in the yearnings to change and update Lapa as a republican city and adapted to new urban infrastructures, such as piped water, paved streets, electric power, new means of transportation, and communication. Through the systematization of the photographic methodological analysis, from iconographic investigation proposed by Panofsky, observing Cassirer’s symbolic forms, through which he presented the advances in Cosgrove’s research, it is intended to analyze Glück’s images in a context of a city eager to incorporate republican and “modernity” standards.

This study evaluates the impact of Bolsa Família Program in urban and rural environments, investigating changes in food consumption and identifying access to other non-monetary purchases. Through 86 interviews in a municipality of Paraná State, we observed that the program increased the frequency of food consumption with the help of other non-monetary acquisitions in the urban environment. In the rural areas, self-consumption was an important adjunct to the food security of the beneficiaries. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the current difficulties of the urban environment is the transport problem, which results from limited geographical spaces and in some cases highly complex congestion, where urban roads and roads are fully utilized. This limitation leads to an increase in transport costs. For this reason, solutions that allow companies to plan and optimize resources, in addition to enabling a more adherent positioning to the market, are necessary for competitiveness. In the present work, unlike the solutions of classic problems in the literature, the presented proposal can be adapted to different contexts and situations, allowing a configuration according to the company profile. In addition, as part of this proposal to solve the transport problem, a parameterizable algorithm elaborated in the LINGO solver is displayed. The prominent advantages of this solution are technical and operational, which help plan the optimization of resources, effort and decision making in small businesses. These arguments are pointed out by managers of the research unit, due to less time consuming and investment disbursement, which, according to their opinion, presents itself as a more efficient solution compared to numerical methods and know-how.

The objective of this study is to analyze the use of signs of culture in a shopping mall, the specific objectives are identifying the predominant signs of culture in the shopping mall and describing the perception of signs in order to counteract the simulated scenarios of this retail and the diversity found in an environment of urban cultural miscegenation. Concepts such as simulacra, simulations and myths are used, as well as studies related to urban semiotics. The qualitative, descriptive and exploratory research uses different sources of convergence that characterize a case study, the instruments used were the Bibliographic research and the Semi-structured interview. The result showed that the perception of the object shows a use of the visual symbols referring to the English settlers of the city of Londrina, its historical use as cultural simulacrum, referring to the cultural signs indicative of the colonization of Londrina, however, the superficiality of the signs makes the historical and cultural repertoire of the inhabitant, essential for the understanding of their historical reference.

Among the toxic agents that can threaten human health, the scorpions are the ones that cause the most accidents in Paraiba territory. For the ministry of health, four species of the genus Tityus have medical importance in Brazil, due to your adaptation capacity in urban environments, pathogenic reproduction and the toxicity of its venom. The aim of this study was to report the scorpions species that have medical importance in the state of Paraiba. It is a literature review, descriptive and qualitative, based on documents obtained from Scielo, Lilacs, UnB Repository, Fiocruz and the Ministry of Health database. It was considered the documents published in the period of 2014 to 2019. Were also collected intoxication data available by SINITOX for the period from 2009 to 2013. Two species are responsible for scorpionic accidents: T. serrulatus e T. stigmurus, the latter being considered the main etiological agent in the state. In the period of 2009 to 2013, Paraiba was the state of the Northeast region which most reported the occurrence of accidents involving scorpions, with 11.243 cases. The higher number of notifications occurred in 2012 (2.467) and the smallest in 2013 (1.946). The scorpionic accidents are the main cause of intoxication in the state, while the medicines are the mainly responsible in Brazil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, Dengue has become a serious public health problem for the Brazilian population, especially in urban environments. The disease is directly related to the proliferation and infestation index of the vector, which in turn depends on environmental factors that drives to its multiplication. In this sense, this study aimed to understand the causes of the significant increase of Dengue in Mato Grosso in the period between 2011 and 2015. So, we analyzed the temporo-spatial variation of cases of Dengue notifications provided by the State Department of Health, in order to investigate the hypothesis that such expressive increase of the disease in this period could be related, above all, to socioenvironmental conditions. It can be seen through the study that in the last few years there has been an alarming increase in the rates of dengue in most of the municipalities of the state of Mato Grosso and in all sectors of the territory of the state, and in those in which The weather rate has been very different.

We studied the process of settlement and urban planning of the region called 'Novo Centro' in Maringá through the analysis and diagnosis of urban afforestation in its main street. Methodological procedures included two aspects: the process of development and urban planning, surveying the historical and legislative aspects from 1985 to 2018; and a survey of the street afforestation monitoring when an onsite diagnosis was made through a spreadsheet for qualitative and quantitative characterization of the trees present. The results show that the Novo Centro Maringá is subdivided into three glebes: A, B, and C, with specific occupancy patterns. Regarding afforestation, this is few diverse, with 47 tree individuals of a single species, ipê-branco, all planted on the south side of the avenue. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to elaborate a diagnosis of the public space of Passeio das Virtudes, in Porto, Portugal. As a place of great importance, and agglomeration of people, it is neglected by the citizen. It was performed first a bibliographical revision, referring to the relation of the cities with their public spaces and the transformations of the same ones until nowadays. In addition, it was made a qualitative analysis structured in four dimensions: physical, functional, social, and historical-cultural. Thus, knowing the region and the needs of the uses of the space it was possible to highlight the positive aspects of Passeio das Virtudes environment. By seeking information and diagnoses that provide the city with an even more lively urban environment, of attraction to the public, which ensures well-being, safety, comfort, and accessibility to users, we are thus meeting the policies of revitalisation and transformation of the place into a pole of culture and leisure.

Francis searched for the poverty and dispossession of the material things. However, the passage of the life of the saint for the construction of the Franciscan order properly speaking make these aims being subject of several contents. From the peregrination towards the stable settlements, between the hermitage and the city, it will be concerned several aspects of the material dimension of the seraphic experience, in relation to its house in the world. Attention will be paid to the place where the Franciscans had been occupied, specially focusing on the situation of the convent in the urban environment, about its medieval location even the precepts of the implantation and attributes in the city. It was considered the most significant facts during the period of the life of the saint and the episodes of the history of the Order in its process of expansion in the followed centuries, from the context of Assisi towards the whole world.

This article deals with franciscan history in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. From three chronicles written by franciscans, it analyzes the relations of association and rivalry that the friars had with the secular clerics. It suggests two problems: the disputes over the priesthood and the competitions for the incomes of the holy services. Methodologically, it compares similar passages from each of the chronicles, in order to light some recurrences and patterns. The hypothesis it outlines is that, beyond the mendicant ideology, the friars needed to get involved with ecclesiastical affairs, moved by popular demands and initiatives over reforms on the clerical morality. Thus, the paper aims to clarify the mechanisms by which the franciscans conquered their place in the fierceful urban environment of medieval Europe - cooperating or competing with other Church orders - as well as the rhetorical instruments they employed in their ideological defense.

This article is a snippet from the dissertation "Urban Sketchers Brazil: Memory and Sensitivity in Contemporary Cities" and deals with the theme of the city in three aspects: sociability, materiality and sensitivity. This movement of urban designers is seen as a linker between people, establishing very interesting personal relationships, it is seen as a facilitator of contacts with the historical and mnemonic objects of the city, and finally, it is seen as a facilitator of sensitive experiences of looking and feeling life in the city. Thus, we understand the movement in its contemporaneity and its fruitful relationship with urban environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The city is an important field for semiotic analysis, among other aspects, the retail impacts in the lives of its residents, in culture, in consumption and the image of the urban space. This work aims to point out the features of the discourse of the image in the city and the signs of culture as influenced by retail, and the indicators they do to promote consumption. Two images of the city of Londrina-PR are compared, both taken at the same location one from the period of 1940-50 and the other of 2018. The analysis of the signs visible in these moments, allows for remarkable inferences about the role of the retail environment in the constitution of the urban spatiality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The diversity of the urban typographical environment provokes a series of visual and informational experiences. Within this universe, we encounter the hand-written signs with popular lettering, which, despite the innumerable technological innovations in the area of visual communication, manage to stand the test of time. Such artifacts are valuable sources of information of the cultural expression a particular social group and have become a constitutive part of the history of Brazilian informal graphic design. This article seeks to register the diversity of work created by these popular lettering sign writers, as well as to investigate their aesthetic influences, so as to understand popular imaginary more fully, and thus bring it towards the professional practice of design. We therefore, present the process of creating a classification for popular lettering typology, with the intention of systematizing the production of these artifacts in accordance to the following aspects: authorship, the forms of visually representing verbal language and formal attributes. As a result, six categories of popular lettering are herein presented, which have been identified and established through the observation of fifty artifacts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Renown for its intellectual vitality and economic dynamism, Silicon Valley is widely praised as the working model of what an advanced urban landscape has to offer: dynamic corporations, jobs, growing incomes, and intellectual excitement. While the standard origin myth praises bold entrepreneurs as the source of the Valley's' magic, a closer look shows that several decades of public spending on defense and aerospace technology laid the foundation for what later became private initiatives in computers and digital electronics for domestic markets. In the end, however, neither government involvement nor the creativity of high tech business succeed in producing a well formed urban environment. Those who inhabit the «Silicon Valley Super Region» today face a chaotic sprawl of roadways, long commuting times and stressful patterns of social l?fe. Intensive infusions of information technology seem to exacerbate rather than solve these problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
