AbstractIn January 2020 China reported to the World Health Organization an outbreak of pneumonia of undetermined origin in the city of Wuhan, Hubei. In January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Interest (PHEI).ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of a COVID-19 epidemic in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil.MethodsWe used a generalized SEIR (Susceptibles, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) model, with additional Hospitalized variables (SEIHR model) and age-stratified structure to analyze the expected time evolution during the onset of the epidemic in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. The model allows to determine the evolution of the number of cases, the number of patients admitted to hospitals and deaths caused by COVID-19. In order to investigate the sensibility of our results with respect to parameter estimation errors we performed Monte Carlo analysis with 100 000 simulations by sampling parameter values from an uniform distribution in the confidence interval.ResultsWe estimate 1 368 (IQR: 880, 2 407) cases, 301 (22%) in older people (≥60 years), 81 (50, 143) hospitalizations, and 14 (9, 26) deaths in the first 30 days, and 38 583 (IQR: 16 698, 113, 163) cases, 8 427 (21.8%) in older people (≥60 years), 2181 (914, 6392) hospitalizations, and 397(166, 1205) deaths in the first 60 days.LimitationsWe supposed a constant transmission probability Pc among different age-groups, and that every severe and critic case will be hospitalized, as well as that the detection capacity in all the primary healthcare services does not change during the outbreak.ConclusionSupposing the reported parameters in the literature apply in the city of São Paulo, our study shows that it is expected that the impact of a COVID-19 outbreak will be important, requiring special planning from the authorities. This is the first study for a major metropolitan center in the south hemisphere, and we believe it can provide policy makers with a prognosis of the burden of the pandemic not only in Brazil, but also in other tropical zones, allowing to estimate total cases, hospitalization and deaths, in support to the management of the public health emergence caused by COVID-19.

The aim of this work is to examine the intellectual production of the Renaissance philosopher Michel de Montaigne, relating data from his biography and the events of his time to his most outstanding work, Essays. It is considered that the theoretical elaborations of an individual, as well as the linguistic forms created by him to express them, derive from events in the physical world – including their derivations of social and cultural order – and as such should be investigated. The origin of this methodological conception is sought in Ancient philosophy, especially in the Sophists, investigation that provides the parameters for analyzing the specific case of Montaigne.Resumo O objetivo deste trabalho é examinar a produção intelectual do filósofo renascentista Michel de Montaigne, relacionando dados de sua biografia e dos acontecimentos de sua época à sua mais destacada obra, Ensaios. Considera-se que as elaborações teóricas de um indivíduo, bem como as formas linguísticas por ele criadas para exprimi-las, decorrem de eventos do mundo físico – no que se incluem as suas derivações de ordem social e cultural –, e como tal devem ser investigadas. A origem dessa concepção metodológica é buscada na filosofia antiga, principalmente nos Sofistas, investigação que fornece os parâmetros para analisar o caso específico de Montaigne.Palavras-chave: Montaigne, Sofística, Filosofia da EducaçãoKeywords: Montaigne, Sophistry, Philosophy of EducationReferencesARISTÓTELES.

I WAS among 5 from the Seattle-King County Department of Public Health and 1 from the Medical School who left for Iran early in 1951 and 1952 and, as the Seattle Times reported after my return— "Halfway Around the World from Puget Sound, a handful of `Shirt-Sleeve Diplomats' from Seattle have been fighting communists for the past 2 years by killing mosquitoes. "The first phases of their program have worked so well that in one Iranian city the undertaker complained that he had too little business and demanded a salary from the public treasury. He got it too!" The Director of the Foreign Operations Administration's Mission in Iran, Mr. William E. Warne, in an interview with the New York Times last spring credited the public health program in Iran as the greatest single factor in keeping Iran on this side of the Iron Curtain. The Seattle group were among 37 American public health specialists, most of them commissioned as officers in the U.S. Public Health Service, employed in the Point IV program, now a part of the Foreign Operations Administration, in Iran, a country almost as large as all of the United States east of the Mississippi River. The World Health Organization was in Iran too. When we arrived, WHO had a malaria control advisory unit of 3 technicians:

Já se passaram 30 anos desde a publicação do seminal estudo sobre São Paulo de DEAN (1969). Esse trabalho desafiou uma afirmativa chave no paradigma – estruturalista – que dominava grande parte dos escritos sobre ciências sociais e sobre a história da América Latina. Ele também lançou dúvidas sobre aspectos igualmente centrais da abordagem que viria a se tonar ascendente, a dependentista, uma escola descrita como “histórico-estruturalista” (FISHLOW, 1988). Para os estudiosos baseados nas tradições cepalina e dependentista inicial, era uma verdade amplamente estabelecida que a industrialização da América Latina foi deflagrada pela crise mundial dos anos 30. O “modelo” pré-1929 (ou pré-1914) de crescimento liderado pelas exportações era apresentado como frustrando a industrialização ou como sendo contrário ao desenvolvimento (deve ser relembrado que, nesse tempo, a industrialização e o desenvolvimento eram entendidos como virtualmente sendo a mesma coisa). DEAN refutou esta ortodoxia, no mínimo no caso de São Paulo. Ele demonstrou que a atividade no setor manufatureiro era mais dinâmica durante os períodos de flutuações das exportações. Com a derrocada do estruturalismo e da dependência, amplamente preditos por seus críticos, teria a tese de DEAN sobre industrialização finalmente sido reivindicada? Este ensaio examinará como a historiografia sobre a industrialização da América Latina tem evoluído nas últimas três décadas. Ele avaliará os principais rumos das pesquisas, refletindo até onde o caminho aberto por DEAN tem sido seguido por outros. Ele também identificará o que precisa ser feito: quais são os hiatos na literatura, e onde se encontram. Abstract It is now thirty years since the publication of the seminal study on São Paulo by DEAN (1969). That work challenged a key assertion in the prevailing paradigm – structuralism – then dominating much social science and historical writing on Latin America. It also cast doubt on similarly central aspects of the soon-to-be ascendant dependista approach, a school described as historico-structuralism (FISHLOW, 1988). For scholars rooted in cepalista and early dependency traditions, it was a truth widely-held that Latin American industrialisation was triggered by the world crisis of the 1930s. The pre-1929 (or pre-1914) “model” of export-led growth was variously presented as frustrating industrialisation or inimical to development. (It must be remembered that, at the time, industrialisation and development were held to be virtually one and the same). DEAN refuted this orthodoxy, at least in the case of São Paulo. He demonstrated that activity in the manufacturing sector was most dynamic during periods of export buoyancy. With the demise of structuralism and dependency widely predicted by their critics, has the DEAN thesis on industrialisation finally been vindicated? This essay will examine how the historiography on modern Latin American industrialisation has evolved over the last three decades. It will appraise the principal directions in research, reflecting on the extent to which the route pioneered by DEAN has been followed by others. It will also identify what needs to be done: where and what are the gaps in the literature?

AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed the world health scenario, causing numerous problems related to the overload of services. In this scenario, the approach to oncological diseases becomes a challenge, considering the risk of progression of cancer disease and death due to delay in diagnosis and treatment. Faced with this exceptional situation, coloproctology services have been forced to change their routine to adapt to the new reality, considering risks and benefits in the conduct of these patients. Thus, the experience of the coloproctology service at the Santa Casa de São Paulo, São Paulo, state of São Paulo, Brazil, during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic is described, evaluating the possibility of maintaining elective oncological surgeries through selection by directed anamnesis. Method Retrospective cohort study with prospective collection comparing colorectal surgery for cancer before and during the pandemic from December 2019 to July 2020. Results In total, 81 patients were included. During the pandemic, 41 patients were operated on with 2 perioperative contaminations by COVID-19. Both length of stay and complications were not different between groups. Conclusion Since there was no increase in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality in elective oncology surgeries with patients screened for guided anamnesis, it is worth considering this method for maintaining surgical procedures even in the event of a pandemic.
