New Look

The main focus is on the assessment of the effects of early institutional care and compares three longitudinal studies from Romania, Greece and Hong Kong/China. The findings have been strikingly contrasting. The review asks if the risks are dependent on whether or not the institutional rearing is accompanied by gross pervasive deprivation (as it was in Romania) and investigates the methodological issues to explore the causal influence of the outcomes. Evidence is considered on changing institutional practices and the benefits of doing so. Comparison is made between institutions with major deprivation and those without global deprivation. A small number of studies are discussed that look at direct comparisons between institutional and community care. The empirical and conceptual implications of the findings are discussed.

Urban mobility is one of the main topics when it comes to urban planning, in Brazil, it is one of the most troubling subjects since the country had a demographic boom in the 60s and 70s leading to unplanned cities that were not capable of properly preparing for its population increase. In order to evaluate what Brazil’s cities are lacking, Manaus and São Paulo were compared to leading cities in urban mobility like Hong Kong and Prague reviewing the main indicators which leads to those cities being ranked higher than Brazilian cities. Being the cycle lanes one of the biggest disparities between cities like Prague and Manaus, the urban mobility plans of the Brazilian cities were evaluated to present their guidelines and their plans to unite with the global trend in urban mobility.
