RESUMO Busca-se avaliar o enquadramento jornalístico feito pelos jornais da mídia corporativa que legitimam e medeiam a pauta pública e a estratégia da política de segurança pública do Rio de Janeiro, recorrendo à cobertura de notícias sobre os protestos realizados nas ruas da cidade durante o “Junho Furioso”. A partir do uso de semânticas estereotipadas para noticiar o fato jornalístico pela imprensa, será avaliada a criação de um imaginário social coletivo como espaço público de disputa de hegemonia conforme a concepção gramsciana, criminalizando midiaticamente as áreas pobres da cidade do Rio de Janeiro para obtenção de um controle da ordem pública.Palavras-chave: Mídia corporativa; Hegemonia gramisciana; Política de Segurança Pública; “Junho Furioso”; Controle e ordem social.   ABSTRACT This article evaluates the journalistic framing by corportative media, which legitimize and mediate the public agenda and Rio de Janeiro's public security policy strategy, using the news coverage of the protests in the city streets ​​during the "Furious June". Drawing on the stereotypical use of semantics for journalistic fact reporting by the press, the creation of a collective social imagination will be evaluated as a public space of dispute for hegemony as in Gramsci's conception, mediatically criminalizing the poor areas of the city of Rio de Janeiro with the aim of controling public order.Keywords: Corportativa media; Gramsci's Hegemony; Public Security Policy; " Furious June "; Control and social order.

Questões relacionadas com a violência urbana afetam diretamente as condições de saúde da população, produzindo distúrbios mentais como o medo e a loucura, desigualdades sócio-espaciais, inutilização dos espaços públicos de lazer e em determinadas situações a morte. O objetivo deste trabalho, a partir de uma revisão bibliográfica, é refletir sobre a ação da Secretaria de Segurança Pública em criar as Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora (UPP), espacialmente distribuídas na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, e sua possível conexão com a atenuação da violência urbana, bem como na saúde da população. Conclui-se que as Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora, ainda em estágio de implantação e adequação, geram um sentimento de segurança, conforto e bem-estar para a população, haja vista a redução no número de crimes e delitos entre os anos de 2009 e 2010.     Issues related to urban violence directly affect the health conditions of the population, producing mental disorders such as fear and madness, socio-spatial inequalities, disabling public spaces for leisure and, in certain situations, death. The objective of this work, based on a literature review, is to reflect on the action of the Public Security Secretariat in creating the Pacifying Police Units (UPP), spatially distributed in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and its possible connection with the attenuation of urban violence, as well as in the health of the population. It is concluded that the Pacifying Police Units, still at the stage of implementation and adaptation, generate a feeling of security, comfort and well-being for the population, given the reduction in the number of crimes and offenses between 2009 and 2010.

As is described in this conclusion, more than the media and culture, Madrid’s public space constituted the primary arena where reactions and attitudes toward social conflict and inequalities were negotiated. Social conflict in the public space found expression through musical performance, as well as through the rise of noise that came with the expansion and modernization of the city. Through their impact on public health and morality, noise and unwelcomed musical practices contributed to the refinement of Madrid’s city code and the modernization of society. The interference of vested political interests, however, made the refining of legislation in these areas particularly difficult. Analysis of three musical practices, namely, flamenco, organilleros, and workhouse bands, has shown how difficult it was to adopt consistent policies and approaches to tackling the forms of social conflict that were associated with musical performance.

Abstract Background The government investments in quality primary healthcare are the basis to strengthening the health systems and monitoring the public expenditure in this area is a way to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of the public health policies. The Brazil Ministry of Health changed, in 2017, the method of onlending federal resources to states and cities seeking to make the public funds management more flexible. This change, however, suppressed mandatory investments in primary healthcare. This research aims to determine the difference of expenditures on primary healthcare in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil metropolitan area before and after this funding reform, seeking to verify how it can impact the quality of primary healthcare services and programs. Methods This is an ecological time-series study that used data obtained in the Brazil Ministry of Health budget reports. The median and interquartile range of expenditures on primary healthcare (set as the percentage of total public health budget applied in primary care services and programs) of the 13 cities in the Salvador metropolitan area were compared two years before and after the reform. Results The median of expenditures on primary healthcare in Salvador metropolitan area was 25.5% (13,9% - 32,2%) of total public health budget before and 24.8% (20.8% - 30.0%) of total public health budget after the reform (-0.7% difference). Seven cities decreased the expenditures on primary healthcare after the reform, ranging from 1.2% to 10.8% reduction in the primary healthcare budget in five years. Conclusions Expenditures on primary healthcare in Salvador metropolitan area decreased after the 2017 funding reform. Seven of 13 cities reduced the government investments on primary healthcare services and programs in this scenario. Although the overall difference was -0.7%, the budget cuts ranged from 1.2% to 10.8% in the analyzed period and sample. More studies should assess these events in wide areas and with long time ranges. Key messages Public health funding models can impact the primary healthcare settings regardless of the health policy. Reforms in the funding models should consider the possible benefits before implementation. Funding models and methods that require mandatory investments in primary healthcare may be considered over more flexible ones.

AbstractThe rise of crack cocaine in the late 1980s propelled the war on drugs. The experience of Canton, Ohio, shows how the response to crack solidified mass incarceration. A declining industrial city of 84,000 people in northeast Ohio with deep-seated racial divides, it was overwhelmed by aggressive, enterprising crack dealers from outside the city. In response, politicians and residents united behind the strategy of incessant arrests and drastic prison sentences. The law-enforcement offensive worsened conditions while pursuing African Americans at blatantly disproportionate rates, but few people engaged in reframing the drug problem. Instead, a punitive citizenry positioned punishment as the principal remedy. The emergency foreclosed on more comprehensive assessments of the city’s tribulations, while the criminal justice system emerged as the paramount institution.

Abstract Background Italy was the second country in the world, after China, to be hit by SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The Italy’s experience teaches that steps to limit people’s movement by imposing “red zones” need to be put in place early by carefully identifying the cities to be included within these areas of quarantine. The assessment of the relationship between the distance from an established outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection with transmission-linked cases and mortality observed in other sites could provide useful information to identify the optimal radius of red zones. Methods We investigated the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 cases and the distance of each Italian province from the first outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 epidemic in Italy (the city of Lodi placed in the Lombardia region). In 38 provinces of Lombardia and neighboring regions, we performed a breakpoint analysis to identify the radius of the red zone around Lodi minimizing epidemic spread and mortality in neighboring cities. Results In all Italian provinces a non-linear relationship was found between SARS-CoV-2 cases and distance from Lodi. In an analysis including the provinces of Lombardia and neighboring regions, SARS-CoV-2 cases and mortality increased when the distance from Lodi reduced below 92 km and 140 km, respectively, and such relationships were amplified by ozone (O3) pollution. Conclusions The breakpoint analysis identifies the radius around the outbreak of Lodi minimizing the public health consequences of SARS-CoV-2 in neighboring cities. Such an approach can be useful to identify the red zones in future epidemics due to highly infective pathogens similar to SARS-CoV-2.
