Abstract This paper presents a case of urban dispute to show how a new political body has been affectively occupying the spheres of participation since the uprisings that occurred in Brazil in June 2013. Minhocão, the target of this urban dispute, is an elevated highway located in the city of São Paulo. Inaugurated in 1970, it has been informally occupied by the inhabitants of its surroundings since the 1980s. Using the notion of “affective re-territorializations” (Hutta, 2019), the article analyses how the rise of conservative and progressive affective fields are reshaping spaces in the contemporary city and, ultimately, influencing urban projects and public policies. Through the analysis of primary and secondary data, the article demonstrates that this space, which used to be the target of informal appropriations, has become the symbol of an affective dispute, being constantly re--signified, alternating progressive and reactionary ideologies.

Abstract This article compares the structure of the city budget of São Paulo and Paris and their processes between 2008 and 2018, aiding in the understanding of budgetary decisions and contributing to the literature on public budgets, more focused on national and federal levels. As the budget process is very technical and standardized, one should observe several similarities between both cases This article demonstrates how similar the budget structures and processes of these two metropolises are. It indicates, for example, that both present incrementalisms in their budget base, as expected according to theory. However, the study also indicates differences within similarities as both cases, with very different macro institutions (federal versus unitary States), similar meso-institutions (organization of municipal institutions, municipal public policies), but certain different rules, generate important differences in their processes and some divergence in their results.

In this article, I present some results of a project that, in the context of critical discourse studies and the interdiscursive analysis of public policies, focused on representations of online journalism regarding public policies aimed at the homeless population. The research project ‘Representations of public policies for the homeless population as territory management: spatial metaphors in Folha de S. Paulo’ was developed at the Pompeu Fabra University, Spain, throughout 2018 (supported by CAPES 88881.172032/2018-01). Using as a reference one of the leading newspaper of the city of São Paulo, Folha de Sao Paulo in its digital platform, I have compiled a comprehensive corpus of news about homelessness published during 3 years. Besides the panoramic analyses of the corpus, the article analyses more closely four texts that address each other in a sequence, a polemic concerning law and rights. These texts, published during 2 weeks, emerged from the corpus 105 texts on public policies directed to the homeless population, analyzed through a QDA software, focusing on patterns of metaphorical representation of public policies addressed to the homeless population.

Objetivo: identificar os registros de violência doméstica de gênero nos prontuários-família de Serviço de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) das regiões dos Coordenadores Oeste e Sudeste, no Município de São Paulo. Método:  Pesquisa descritiva, retrospectiva, com abordagem quantitativa, analítica de dados secundários advindos de 18 prontuários-família das mulheres em situação de violência doméstica de gênero, usuárias de Unidades Básicas de Saúde. Resultados: aumento do registro da violência em prontuário em 9% e a importância da ESF nesse processo de visibilizar o problema na APS. Conclusões: o Agentes Comunitários de Saúde (ACS) é muito importante para dar visibilidade aos casos de violência no território e assim, mesmo com o aumento da violência descrita no território, há pouca informação de como tal problema foi trabalhado nos serviços. Estudo que mostra a necessidade de que essa temática esteja presente nas formações dos profissionais de saúde e compreendida como parte da responsabilidade do profissional de saúde.Descritores: Violência contra as mulheres, Identidade de gênero, Mulheres, Violência doméstica, EnfermagemAbstractAim: Identify the occurrences of domestic violence in the records of Primary Healthcare (PHC) services in both western and southeastern regions of the city of Sao Paulo. Method: Descriptive and retrospective research, with a quantitative approach, analyzing secondary data from 18 records of women in situations of domestic violence, all users of health centers. Results:  an increase in the cases of recorded domestic violence by 9% and the importance of the Family Health Program (ESF, in Portuguese) in the process of raising the awareness of the problem at PHC units. Conclusions: Community Health Agents (ACS, in Portuguese) play an important role in raising the awareness of ongoing domestic violence cases and, despite the aforementioned increase of these cases, there is little information on how such a problem has been addressed by Primary Healthcare services. The study shows the necessity for this topic to be part of the formation of healthcare agents and to be understood as part of their very own responsibilities.Key words:  Violence against women, Gender identity, Women, Domestic violence, Nursing

Abstract Objective: the aim of the present study was to characterize the population of elderly women who have suffered sexual and physical violence and describe the characteristics of this aggression. Method: a cross-sectional study was carried out using secondary data from the Violence and Accident Surveillance Information System, which registers reports of physical and sexual violence against the female population aged 60 and older. Results: in 2013 289 acts of physical violence against elderly women in the city of São Paulo were recorded, and sexual violence was reported in ten cases. Conclusion: physical and sexual violence occurred mainly in the family environment, with the majority of aggressors male and a family member or known to the victim. In their direct and daily dealings with elderly health service users at all levels of complexity, doctors should know how to investigate and identify cases of violence, properly approach patients, act in coordination with other professionals and apply interventions that are effective for each case.

The aim of this study is to identify the strategic groups formed by Institutions that run undergraduate courses in Business Administration in the city of So Paulo, Brazil. This is an exploratory research, since there are no hypotheses to test, but it is also descriptive because it describes strategic groupings. Primary data were gathered directly in the Institutions studied and secondary data were obtained from the Ministry of Education (MEC). The regulatory variables used incorporate coercive institutional isomorphic dimensions. The findings corroborated the use of that instrument with those regulatory variables, as it improves the structural analysis of the sector, and could serve as a reference for studies on other sectors which are subject to regulatory forces similar to those explicitly found in third level Education.

Background: In light of the few reports from intertropical latitudes and their conflicting results, we aimed to replicate and update the investigation of seasonal patterns of suicide occurrences in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data relating to male and female suicides were extracted from the Mortality Information Enhancement Program (PRO-AIM), the official health statistics of the municipality of São Paulo. Seasonality was assessed by studying distribution of suicides over time using cosinor analyses. Results: There were 6,916 registered suicides (76.7% men), with an average of 39.0 ± 7.0 observed suicides per month. For the total sample and for both sexes, cosinor analysis estimated a significant seasonal pattern. For the total sample and for males suicide peaked in November (late spring) with a trough in May–June (late autumn). For females, the estimated peak occurred in January, and the trough in June–July. Conclusions: A seasonal pattern of suicides was found for both males and females, peaking in spring/summer and dipping in fall/winter. The scarcity of reports from intertropical latitudes warrants promoting more studies in this area.

Abstract Background The state of São Paulo recorded a significant reduction in infant mortality, but the desired reduction in maternal mortality was not achieved. Knowledge of the factors with impact on these indicators would be of help in formulating public policies. The aims of this study were to evaluate the relations between socioeconomic and demographic factors, health care model and both infant mortality and maternal mortality in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods In this ecological study, data from national official open sources were used. Analyzed were 645 municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. For each municipality, the infant mortality and maternal mortality rates were calculated for every 1000 live births, 2013. The association between these rates, socioeconomic variables, demographic models and the primary care organization model in the municipality were verified. We used the zero-inflated negative binomial model. Gross analysis was performed and then multiple regression models were estimated. For associations, we adopted “p” at 5%. Results The increase in the HDI of the city and proportion of Family Health Care Strategy implemented were significantly associated with the reduction in both infant mortality (neonatal + post-neonatal) and maternal mortality rates. In turn, the increase in birth and caesarean delivery rates were associated with the increase in infant and maternal mortality rates. Conclusions It was concluded that the Family Health Care Strategy model that contributed to the reduction in infant (neonatal + post-neonatal) and maternal mortality rates, and so did actors such as HDI and cesarean section. Thus, public health managers should prefer this model. Key messages Implementation of public policies with specific focus on attenuating these factors and making it possible to optimize resources, and not interrupting the FHS. Knowledge of the factors with impact on these indicators would be of help in formulating public policies.

During the initial months of the COVID-19 pandemic, farmers worldwide were greatly affected by disruptions in the food chain. In 2020, São Paulo city experienced most of the effects of the pandemic in Brazil, with 15,587 deaths through December 2020. Here, we describe the impacts of COVID-19 on urban agriculture (UA) in São Paulo from April to August 2020. We analyzed two governmental surveys of 2100 farmers from São Paulo state and 148 from São Paulo city and two qualitative surveys of volunteers from ten community gardens and seven urban farmers. Our data showed that 50% of the farmers were impacted by the pandemic with drops in sales, especially those that depended on intermediaries. Some farmers in the city adapted to novel sales channels, but 22% claimed that obtaining inputs became difficult. No municipal support was provided to UA in São Paulo, and pre-existing issues were exacerbated. Work on community gardens decreased, but no garden permanently closed. Post COVID-19, UA will have the challenge of maintaining local food chains established during the pandemic. Due to the increase in the price of inputs and the lack of technical assistance, governmental efforts should be implemented to support UA.
