Abstract Court caseload management is of key importance for guaranteeing the adjudication of cases and depends on how judges and administrative assistants deal with their workload. Results from several studies indicate that an increase in court caseload tends to generate an increase in the judge’s production. However, some authors argue that this relationship is far more complex. To develop a fuller understanding of this relationship we tested an array of direct and moderating hypotheses. We used secondary data from 566 judges working in first trial courts in the State Justice System of Sao Paulo, Brazil. The results indicate a direct and positive relationship between court caseload and judge production, but the strength of this relationship depends on court specialty. The findings also indicate that the number of administrative assistants, judge experience and the number of places a judge works all moderate the caseload-production relationship. The results contribute to the development of strategies to address the delays and congestion of courts, two of the main Brazilian Judiciary problems.

A citricultura no Brasil exerce um papel de grande importância econômica, social, gerando empregos, renda e desenvolvimento. O Brasil é o maior produtor mundial de citros, o Estado de Sergipe destaca-se em 5º lugar nacional em produção. Dentre os vários problemas fitossanitários enfrentados pela citricultura brasileira está a Clorose Variegada dos Citros (CVC), conhecida como amarelinho, causada pela bactéria Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. A CVC foi identificada oficialmente no Brasil, em 1987, em pomares do Triângulo Mineiro e do Norte e Noroeste do Estado de São Paulo. No Nordeste, foi constatada em 1996 em Sergipe no município de Boquim, e em 1997 na Bahia, nos municípios de Rio Real e Itapicuru. O objetivo foi revisar a literatura sobre as espécies de cigarrinhas vetores da CVC, e verificar se ocorrem no estado de Sergipe. Os primeiros sintomas são vistos nas folhas, passam posteriormente para os frutos e acabam afetando toda a planta, e para serem percebidos pode levar entre 5 meses e 2 anos. Os principais vetores da X. fastidiosa em citros são as cigarrinhas da família Cicadellidae. No Brasil já foram confirmadas 12 espécies de cigarrinhas vetoras. Para o estado de Sergipe, são escassas a informações sobre Cicadellidae vetoras, os dados são limitados ao Litoral Norte da Bahia, com exceção de vaga citação sobre quatro gêneros (Oncometropia, Acrogonia, Dilobopterus e Homolodisca) e três espécies (Homolodisca ignorata Melichar, Acrogonia sp. e Homolodisca spottii Takiya, Cavichioli & McKamey). Citrus leafhoppers, Vectors of of Bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al.: Potential Pest of Citrus Crops in Sergipe State Abstract. The citrus industry in Brazil plays a role of great economic, social, generating jobs, income and development. Brazil is the largest producer of citrus, the State of Sergipe stands out in 5th place in national production. Among the many pest problems faced by Brazilian citrus is Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC), known as the yellowing caused by the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Wells et al. The CVC was officially identified in Brazil in 1987, in orchards of “Triângulo Mineiro” and North and northwest of the state of São Paulo. In the Northeast Region of Brazil, was found in 1996 in the municipality of Boquim Sergipe, and Bahia in 1997, the municipalities of Rio Real and Itapicuru. The aim was to review the literature on the species of leafhoppers vectors of CVC, and verify that occur in the state of Sergipe. The first symptoms are seen in the leaves, then go for the fruits and end up affecting the entire plant, and to be perceived can take between five months and two years. The main vectors of X. fastidiosa in citrus are the sharpshooters of the family Cicadellidae. In Brazil 12 sharpshooters species have already been confirmed. For the state of Sergipe, is scarce information about the Cicadellidae vectors, the data are limited to the northern coast of Bahia, except for vague quote about four genus (Oncometropia, Acrogonia, Dilobopterus and Homolodisca) and three species (Homolodisca ignorata Melichar, Acrogonia sp. and Homolodisca spottii Takiya, Cavichioli & McKamey).

AbstractWe aimed to estimate the occurrence of syphilis in pregnant women (SPW) and congenital syphilis (CS) in the municipalities of the state of São Paulo (SP) and evaluate their relationship with socioeconomic, demographic, and health care variables. We developed an ecological study based on secondary data of SPW and CS with spatiotemporal components from 645 municipalities in SP including data from 2007 to 2018. We modeled the data in a Bayesian context, considered spatial and temporal random effects, and used binomial negative probability distributions. We found a continuous increase in the relative temporal risk of SPW, from 2007 to 2018, and CS, from 2007 to 2017, when their incidences increased by 8.6 and 6.6 times, respectively. This increase occurred en bloc in practically all municipalities of SP. The increase in SPW was associated with teenage pregnancy, municipalities with a large number of inhabitants, and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) incidence. The increase in CS was associated with municipalities with a large number of inhabitants, incomplete antenatal care, and AIDS incidence. Although actions to control these diseases are required in all municipalities of SP, the identification of high-risk areas points to priority regions for development.

Summary Introduction: Cancer has now become part of the agenda of health managers, prompting them to consider new models of system organization. Objective: To study the cancer care network of the Brazilian public health system (SUS, in the Portuguese acronym) in the state of São Paulo by analyzing the structure of the installed and enabled network for treatment and its characteristics. Method: A single, integrated case study. We used secondary data from the following sources: Datasus, Inca, RHC and CNES, and primary data from official documents from the Reference Committee on Oncology of the State of Sao Paulo. We used the official guidelines to able services from the National Health Department to make comparison. Results: According to the CNES, in April, 2013 there were 72 cancer care services authorized by SUS in the state of Sao Paulo. Using the population criterion, the state had one service enabled for every 581,961 inhabitants, in an unequal distribution throughout the 17 health care regions. In terms of available structure and services, 80% of the hospitals were compliant for cancer surgery, 31% for chemotherapy and 74% for radiotherapy. In terms of minimum production, only 13% of hospitals were compliant with cancer surgery, 42% with chemotherapy and 14% with radiotherapy. Conclusion: The installed network proved to have sufficient size and structure to meet the demand from new cancer cases. However, there were both regional differences, as well as a wide variation in productivity between services, which probably had an impact on patient access.

Abstract In this paper, we analyze secondary data from surveys focusing on climate change and adaptation in Sao Paulo municipalities. The survey was completed by municipal actors who work in 332 of the 645 municipalities in the State. In this paper, we use a theoretical framework on urban climate governance, which highlights the role that local governments play in proposing strategies to deal with climate change, to present and discuss data related to: 1) the occurrence of extreme climatic events in these municipalities; 2) the impacts of these events; 3) local government actors’ perception about climate change; and 4) local actions and responses. Our analysis of these data significantly contributes to better understanding how cities in the most populous and economically developed state in Brazil perceive, respond and deal with climate change and what critical challenges hamper climate adaptation in these cities.

Urban Problems

The democratic transition and constitutional reforms in Brazil raised hopes that critical environmental challenges and egregious social deficits could finally be remedied through law, but political and legal legacies, fragmentation among actors, and disarticulation between and within institutions and between the state and citizens have complicated this transformation. Examination of the emerging role of the courts and the law in promoting social rights and environmental protection in the water and sanitation sectors in São Paulo reveals how long-standing urban problems are reified or altered through legal means. It also shows that ongoing challenges have prompted a search for new, proactive strategies of coordination, tested old assumptions about state/society relationships, and provoked broader conversations about difficult socioeconomic and political questions at the heart of creating sustainable, just societies.A transição para a democracia, e as reformas constitucionais, no Brasil crearam a esperança de que puder-se corrigir os desafios do meio-ambiente e as deficiências sociais dos mais flagrantes por meio da lei. Infelizmente essa transformação se complicou pelas heranças políticas e legais, pelas divisões entre os atores, e a desarticulação entre as instituições e dentro delas, e o afastamento entre o Estado e os seus cidadãos. Um exame do papel emergente dos tribunais e da lei na promoção dos direitos sociais e em proteger o meio-ambiente nos setores do abastamento de água e do saneamento na Grande São Paulo mosta como se mudam ou se reificam os problemas urbanos de larga duração pelo meio do sistema legal. Revela também como os desafios consistentes estimularam a procura de novas estratégias proativas de coordinação, põem à prova as velhas assumções sobre a relações entre o Estado e a sociedade, e provocaram conversações mais amplas sobre essas questões socio-econômicas e políticas que jazem no coração do esforço de crear as sociedades sustentáveis e justas.

In Brazil, formal wholesale trade of floriculture products is concentrated in the state of São Paulo, which represents 90% of the national market. Through the most diverse sales systems, wholesale trade of flowers and ornamental plants is in expansion and is carried out both in supply centers and sales centers. The aim of this study is to present the characteristics, dynamics, and history of trade in the main flower and ornamental plant wholesale markets in Brazil. To analyze these markets, we collected primary data provided by the wholesale markets themselves and secondary data obtained from bibliographic research. The wholesale flower and ornamental plant market in Brazil is concentrated in the state of São Paulo, although there are supply centers in other states. This market is mainly formed by Veiling Holambra, CEASA/Campinas, CEAGESP-ETSP, and Cooperflora/Floranet, with transactions of more than R$ 732 million/year, and 48.77% of this amount is through Veiling Holambra.

O artigo teceu alguns comentários sobre a conjuntura política do Império do Brasil de meados do século XIX, as posições políticas e o papel do Estado na obra de Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen. Monarquista assumido e afinado com as ideias de conservação da ordem e centralização do governo, para o historiador paulista, o Estado era o principal instrumento de construção da nação. Num momento de consolidação do poder imperial no Segundo Reinado, Varnhagen, como outros letrados e estadistas, escreveram pensando num futuro promissor para o Brasil.*In this paper, we elaborated some comments about the political conjuncture of the Brazilian Empire in the mid-nineteenth-century, the political positions and the role of the State in Francisco Adolfo de Varnhagen’s work. A self-recognized monarchist and in tune with the ideas of conservation of the order and centralization of the government, for the historian of São Paulo, the State was the main instrument of construction of the nation. At a moment of consolidation of imperial power in the Second Reign, Varnhagen, like other scholars and statesmen, wrote for a promising future for Brazil.
