This article deals with the symbolic experiences of urban participants of the União do Vegetal (UDV), in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Through the analysis of participant speech, it seeks to identify the discursive axes of disciples of the UDV. Subjects’ experiences under the effects of the tea are strongly liminal, and frequently act as mediators through which the subject articulates elements of his life with those of the UDV worldview, experiencing them as a single reality. This experience is labeled by the author as encompassment in the force of the burracheira (the UDV designation for the ‘strange force’ that accompanies ingestion of the tea). As elaborated by Brissac, this idea denotes both the subjective experience of being ‘swept up’ by the effects of ayahuasca, and the way in which the UDV as a symbolic system draws to itself elements of other religious practices.

The Subject

The project represents a staging of a historical experiment, inspired by the hypnosis demonstrations of the beginning of the 20th century, where the subject, induced by a hypnotist, poses rigidly between two chairs, almost levitating, this rigidity being attributed to the state of trance of the subject. The project consists of a stereoscopic photographic series made at the exhibition site, with the workers helping with the assembling of the exhibition. The series is displayed in a 3D viewfinder, placed on the same chairs used in the photographs. This project was realized during the exhibition program of Centro Cultural São Paulo, Brazil, in 2010.

O trabalho visa compreender os discursos empregados sobre os haitianos nos jornais impressos de três municípios do estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Mapeando as cidades que mais receberam haitianos nos últimos três anos: Caxias do Sul, Bento Gonçalves e Lajeado. Para a coleta das informações elegemos um jornal impresso de cada cidade durante o ano de 2014. Esses dados se articulam com os conceitos de imigração, sociabilidade e mídia. Inferimos que os discursos podem interferir nas vivências e nos processos de sociabilidades dos imigrantes haitianos. Evidenciamos que em alguns momentos as informações noticiadas atuam como promotores de informações assistencialistas aos imigrantes e em outras matérias reforçam o discurso de negação do sujeito por parte dos leitores sem manifestações positivas aos imigrantes.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Haitianos; Imigração; Mídia. ABSTRACTThe work aims to understand employees speeches on Haitians in the newspapers three municipalities in the state of Rio Grande do Sul Mapping the cities that received more Haitians in the last three years: Caxias do Sul, Bento Gonçalves and Lajeado.

Access To Data

The repositories of scientific data are a reality experienced worldwide, contributing to the storage, preservation and access to data from scientific research. In view of the important role that these contemporary systems play, the objective is to investigate the indexing of scientific data within the scope of the Scientific Data Repositories Network of the State of São Paulo, a platform that allows access to scientific data and increases the visibility of research conducted in the participating institutions. To this end, the information policies established by each member institution are analyzed in order to contribute to studies of information representation in digital repositories. This is an exploratory and documentary study, with data collection carried out by consulting the electronic sites of the scientific data repositories and member institutions. The analysis of the identified information policies reveals that the data repositories linked to the Network partially meet the FAIR principles, use software and standards that allow interoperability, have data identification systems and a protocol for collecting metadata. The indexing of scientific data in the member repositories occurs by the author-researcher himself or by the team responsible for the system. There is a need for more in-depth studies on the Network of Scientific Data Repositories of the State of São Paulo, with emphasis on the quality of the subject metadata and the specificities of the indexing policies in scientific data repositories.

Technological Advances

The almost instantaneous access to information provided by technological advances has revolutionized the behavior of people and of the classrooms too. Teachers had to adapt themselves to new technologies to maintain students interested and attentive to the discipline being taught. In this work, the behavior of the students of the 6th grade of elementary school II during class was observed. The school chosen is a public school in the State of São Paulo (Brazil). The research was based on data collection. The students were observed by being filmed during six months. The results showed that the students were interested in the classes and committed to the activities. The place that the student chooses to sit in the classroom influences the behavior of the teacher, because the more distant the teacher, the less he participates in the class.

This book is an ethnographic study of controversial sounds and noise control debates in Latin America’s most populous city. It discusses the politics of collective living by following several threads linking sound-making practices to governance issues. Rather than discussing sound within a self-enclosed “cultural” field, I examine it as a point of entry for analyzing the state. At the same time, rather than portraying the state as a self-enclosed “apparatus” with seemingly inexhaustible homogeneous power, I describe it as a collection of unstable (and often contradictory) sectors, personnel, strategies, discourses, documents, and agencies. My goal is to approach sound as an analytical category that allows us to access citizenship issues. As I show, environmental noise in São Paulo has been entangled in a wide range of debates, including public health, religious intolerance, crime control, urban planning, cultural rights, and economic growth. The book’s guiding question can be summarized as follows: how do sounds enter and leave the sphere of state control? I answer this question by examining a multifaceted process I define as “sound-politics.” The term refers to sounds as objects that are susceptible to state intervention through specific regulatory, disciplinary, and punishment mechanisms. Both “sound” and “politics” in “sound-politics” are nouns, with the hyphen serving as a bridge that expresses the instability that each concept inserts into the other.

Terrestrial Isopods were sampled in four protected Atlantic Forest areas located in Serra do Mar, state of São Paulo, southeastern Brazil. A total of 2,217 individuals of six species (Atlantoscia sp., Benthana werneri, Pseudodiploexochus tabularis, Pudeoniscus obscurus, Styloniscus spinosus and Trichorhina sp.) were captured in pitfall traps. The exotic species S. spinosus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. Another introduced species, P. tabularis, previously recorded only from the state of Rio Grande do Sul, had its geographic distribution extended to the state of São Paulo. The most abundant isopods in this study belong to an undescribed species of Atlantoscia.

Infected People

São Paulo is the most populous state in Brazil, home to around 22% of the country’s population. The total number of Covid-19-infected people in São Paulo has reached more than 1 million, while its total death toll stands at 25% of all the country’s fatalities. Joining the Brazilian academia efforts in the fight against Covid-19, in this paper we describe a unified framework for monitoring and forecasting the Covid-19 progress in the state of São Paulo. More specifically, a freely available, online platform to collect and exploit Covid-19 time-series data is presented, supporting decision-makers while still allowing the general public to interact with data from different regions of the state. Moreover, a novel forecasting data-driven method has also been proposed, by combining the so-called Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Deceased model with machine learning strategies to better fit the mathematical model’s coefficients for predicting Infections, Recoveries, Deaths, and Viral Reproduction Numbers. We show that the obtained predictor is capable of dealing with badly conditioned data samples while still delivering accurate 10-day predictions. Our integrated computational system can be used for guiding government actions mainly in two basic aspects: real-time data assessment and dynamic predictions of Covid-19 curves for different regions of the state. We extend our analysis and investigation to inspect the virus spreading in Brazil in its regions. Finally, experiments involving the Covid-19 advance in other countries are also given.

The Impact

Abstract Background At the moment we have more than 177 million cases and 3.8 million deaths (as of June 2021) around the world and vaccination represents the only hope to control the pandemic. Imperfections in planning vaccine acquisition and difficulties in implementing distribution among the population, however, have hampered the control of the virus so far. Methods We propose a new mathematical model to estimate the impact of vaccination delay against the 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on the number of cases and deaths due to the disease in Brazil. We apply the model to Brazil as a whole and to the State of Sao Paulo, the most affected by COVID-19 in Brazil. We simulated the model for the populations of the State of Sao Paulo and Brazil as a whole, varying the scenarios related to vaccine efficacy and compliance from the populations. Results The model projects that, in the absence of vaccination, almost 170 thousand deaths and more than 350 thousand deaths will occur by the end of 2021 for Sao Paulo and Brazil, respectively. If in contrast, Sao Paulo and Brazil had enough vaccine supply and so started a vaccination campaign in January with the maximum vaccination rate, compliance and efficacy, they could have averted more than 112 thousand deaths and 127 thousand deaths, respectively. In addition, for each month of delay the number of deaths increases monotonically in a logarithmic fashion, for both the State of Sao Paulo and Brazil as a whole. Conclusions Our model shows that the current delay in the vaccination schedules that is observed in many countries has serious consequences in terms of mortality by the disease and should serve as an alert to health authorities to speed the process up such that the highest number of people to be immunized is reached in the shortest period of time.
