The present study surveyed the profile of people who did or did not take part in programs and activities in primary healthcare units in the Butantã district, the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The rationale for the study was the concept of body practice understood as a practice of health and care. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 1090 individuals mostly middle-aged housewives. Only 5.78% of respondents were enrolled in some program and activities, mainly walking and stretching. There was a consensus between participants and non-participants on the importance of initiatives geared to care for the body and attention to health. The difficulties for having access to programs and the lack of options in the health public service were pointed out as the main obstacles for a greater involvement by local population.

The present study describes Camallanus maculatus n. sp. (Nematoda: Camallanidae) from Xiphophorus maculatus (Osteichthyes: Poecilidae) collected in an ornamental fish farm in São Paulo State, Brazil. Thirty-three out of 40 examined fish were parasitized (82% prevalence) with mean intensity of 2.8 (1-20). Male specimens were 3,500µm total length and females 7,100µm total length, provided with orange-brown buccal capsule and two developed tridents. Males showed two unequal spicules, gubernaculum absent and females with vulva situated in the middle of the body. The main characteristics were the sleekly longitudinal ridges in the buccal capsule in both sexes, enlargement at the anterior end of the smaller spicule, the number of genital papillae, longer muscular and glandular portion of esophagus and round tail in female.

A observação de pessoas procurando praças, ruas, paredes de escalada, bancos, muros e rampas pela cidade, para se divertir e se exercitar representa um novo contexto de prática esportiva que esta pesquisa busca revelar. O objetivo deste estudo foi reconhecer os locais e atores das práticas de skate, escalada e slakline e suas motivações para a busca destas modalidades. Utilizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva exploratória com 46 sujeitos, sendo 16 escaladores, 20 skatistas e 10 slakliners, da cidade de São Paulo, que responderam um questionário desenvolvido especificamente para essas atividades. Os resultados apontaram que: Há predominância do sexo masculino entre os participantes, revelando um preconceito que ainda perdura na prática esportiva. Os escaladores têm média de idade maior do que os demais, talvez devido à necessidade de equipamentos mais caros, dos maiores riscos da prática e da necessidade de cursos para aprendizagem. Os skatistas em média praticam há mais tempo, provavelmente porque a cultura do skate é mais antiga e consolidada em São Paulo. Observa-se que no slakline todos praticam a menos de três anos mostrando que é uma modalidade ainda recente no cenário nacional. Os participantes da pesquisa afirmam ter aprendido sozinhos, ou com amigos e familiares, evidenciando-se nesse aspecto que a Educação Física não é considerada como iniciação. Os sujeitos apontam o ganho de benefícios físicos, mentais e sociais nas suas vidas e sua intenção de continuar a prática pela qualidade de vida, diversão, evolução física e psicológica. Apenas 10,8% afirmam competir, o que mostra que os esportes radicais são considerados na perspectiva da participação voluntária. Conclui-se que os esportes radicais estão sendo incorporados à rotina das pessoas, acrescentando novo contorno à cultura corporal, numa busca de superação, de enfrentamento de desafios, do controle do risco, do prazer, e da qualidade de vida. Fica evidente que há uma distância entre a formação dos profissionais de Educação Física e estas novas práticas.ABSTRACT.  Extreme sports through urban environment in the São Paulo City.  The observation of people looking for squares, streets, climbing walls, benches, walls and ramps around the city to have fun and exercise represents a new context of sports practice that this research seeks to reveal. The objective of this study was to recognize the places and actors of skateboarding, climbing and slakline practices and their motivations for the search of these sports. Exploratory descriptive research was used with 46 subjects, 16 climbers, 20 skaters and 10 slakliners, from the city of São Paulo, who answered a questionnaire developed specifically for these activities. The results showed that: There is predominance of males among the participants, showing a prejudice that still persists in sports practice. Climbers have a higher average age than others, perhaps due to the need for more expensive equipment, greater risks of practice and the need for courses to learn. Skaters on average have been practicing for more time, probably because the skate culture is older and consolidated in São Paulo. It is observed that in slakline all practice less than three years showing that it is a modality still recent in the national scenario. The participants of the research affirm to have learned alone, or with friends and family, evidencing in this aspect that the Physical Education is not considered like initiation. The subjects point out the gain of physical, mental and social benefits in their lives and their intention to continue the practice by quality of life, fun, physical and psychological evolution. Only 10.8% claim to compete, which shows that Extreme Sports are considered from the perspective of voluntary participation. It is concluded that Extreme Sports are being incorporated into the routine of the people, adding a new contour to the body culture, in a search for overcoming, facing challenges, control of risk, pleasure, and quality of life. There is evidence that there is a gap between the graduation in Physical Education professionals and these new practices.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the social adjustment of individuals with severe mental illness living in the community in a large urban center of a developing country, and the characteristics associated with poor social functioning. METHOD: A cross-sectional study was performed in the city of Sao Paulo. Eligible subjects were residents of a defined geographic area, aged between 18 and 65, with a diagnosis of functional psychosis who had had contact with any public psychiatric service during a defined period. Structured assessments were used to obtain information on social-demographic characteristics, diagnosis (ICD-10), psychiatric symptoms (PANSS), and social adjustment (DAS). RESULTS: One hundred and eighty-eight subjects were included, of whom, 120 (63.8%) had some degree of impairment in social functioning. The most frequently affected areas of social functioning were work performance and sexual role. Twenty-four patients (12.8%) showed poor or very poor social adjustment in the month prior to the interview. Negative symptoms, number of previous admissions and general symptoms showed statistically significant associations with global social adjustment scores. CONCLUSIONS: The proportion of patients showing any degree of impairment in social adjustment was as high as in more developed societies. In order to successfully implement the new mental health policy in Brazil, better provision of community-based mental health services for those with severe mental illnesses is needed.

This document compares two videos that date from the same year (1969) and provide a basis for discussion about two different paradigms of urban thinking present in the 1960’s: an interview with Jane Jacobs on the show "The way it is", on Canadian broadcaster CBC, in which she disputes the plans to build Spadina Expressway in Toronto, and a presentation by the then Mayor of São Paulo, Paulo Salim Maluf, on the plans to build Elevado Presidente Costa e Silva (currently named Elevado João Goulart, nicknamed Minhocão [the Big Worm]), an elevated expressway in São Paulo. By confronting the videos, the antagonism of the discourses regarding the role of road infrastructure, the value given to the urban environment, and the idea of quality of urban life becomes clear. The materials are also an illustration of two different outcomes: the halting of the Spadina Expressway works in Toronto and the completion of the Minhocão works in São Paulo.

O presente artigo se debruça sobre o conto “Casa Assombrada”, coletado no único volume de contos que Virginia Woolf publicou em vida, Monday or Tuesday (1921), para investigar de que maneira seus contos intensificam a crise dos gêneros literários que seus romances encenam, por um lado; e para entender como tal crise é análoga à questão política que assombra toda sua obra, por outro lado: o gênero enquanto questão identitária. Em diálogo com a filosofia e com a crítica woolfiana, este estudo articula essa “crise dos gêneros” (gender x genre) e, ao mesmo tempo, produz uma contextualização histórico-cultural dos contos de Virginia Woolf.

A atual política escolar indígena, norteada pelo modelo da educação diferenciada, garante o ensino da cultura indígena na escola, sobretudo o ensino da língua nativa. Contudo, este modelo tem reduzido algumas vezes, a alfabetização na língua indígena como sendo o equivalente ao ensino da cultura indígena. Embora não siga o modelo de educação diferenciada, já que seus membros não estão filiados à escola indígena do Território Indígena (T.I.) Vanuíre (pertencente ao município de Arco-Íris no estado de São Paulo), o Grupo de Cultura Kaingang tem respondido a esses desafios através do agir dos Veinkupri Hã ou espíritos dos mortos bons (guerreiros guardiões da cultura Kaingang). Para investigar como esse ensino tem sido retomado pelos membros do Grupo de Cultura Kaingang do T.I. Vanuíre, assim como o que ele elege manter e o que elege mudar da tradição, utilizou-se o método psicanalítico agregando-lhe procedimentos etnográficos (escuta participante). O ensino pautado pelos Veinkupri Hã contempla a totalidade do corpo e, por isso, não prioriza a esfera cognitiva ou representacional em voga na Educação. Antes, visa o preparo e fortalecimento do corpo da criança para que ela consiga agir conforme os espíritos dos mortos bons, buscando a consolidação de uma alma indígena atuante. A criança aprende a respeitar e a se comunicar com os Veinkupri Hã por meio da expressão em si mesma de um espírito guerreiro. Embora tradicionalmente os Kaingang evitassem os mortos, o Grupo de Cultura Kaingang mantém a comunicação com eles para combater as subjugações históricas e contemporâneas que os destinam a não ser quem são. Deste modo, evidencia-se a impossibilidade de desvincular o ensino cultural do ensino espiritual indígena. O Grupo de Cultura Kaingang provoca a sociedade brasileira a repensar suas políticas públicas versadas à Educação. Na busca por uma educação intercultural não há como deixar de fora o âmbito espiritual dos povos indígenas.Palavras-chave: Educação diferenciada; Povos indígenas; Etnopsicologia. ABSTRACT: The current indigenous school policy, guided by the model of differentiated learning, guarantees the teaching of indigenous culture in school, especially the teaching of the native language. However, this model has sometimes reduced literacy of indigenous culture in the indigenous language learning. Although it does not follow the model of differentiated learning, since its members are not affiliated to the indigenous school of the Indigenous Territory (Território Indígena, TI) Vanuíre (belonging to the city of Arco-Íris in the state of São Paulo, Brasil), the Kaingang Culture Group has responded to these challenges through the action of the Veinkupri Hã, spirits of honorable deceased Kaingang (guardian warriors of the Kaingang culture).To investigate, as this teaching has been taken up by members of the Kaingang Culture Group of TI Vanuíre, as well as what it elects to maintain and what it chooses to change from tradition, the psychoanalytic method was used by adding ethnographic procedures (participant listening). In order to investigate how this teaching has been taken up, by members of the Kaingang Culture Group of TI Vanuíre, as well what it chooses to maintain and what it chooses to change from the tradition, the psychoanalytic method with ethnographic tools has been applied (participant listening). The teaching guided by the Veinkupri Hã includes the totality of the body and, therefore, does not prioritize the cognitive or representational sphere. Its purpose is to strengthen the child’s body so that it acts according to the honorable deceased Kaingang, seeking the consolidation of an active indigenous soul. The child learns to respect and communicate with the Veinkupri Hã through the manifestation of a warrior spirit. Although the Kaingang people have traditionally avoided the dead, the Kaingang Culture Group maintains communication with them to counter the historical and contemporary subjugations that aim them to not be who they are. Thus, it is evident that it is impossible to disassociate cultural teaching from indigenous spiritual teaching. The Kaingang Culture Group encourages Brazilian society to rethink its public policies to education. In the search for an intercultural education there is no way to leave out the spiritual scope of the indigenous peoples.Keywords: Differentiated learning; Indigenous peoples; Ethnopsychology.
