Tuberculosis, AIDS and tuberculosis-AIDS co-infection in a large city

This study aimed to analyze the incidence of tuberculosis (TB), AIDS and tuberculosis-AIDS co-infection in the municipality of Campinas, in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, in the period 2001 - 2009. A historical trend study, it uses secondary data from the Tuberculosis Surveillance Database of the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) and the São Paulo State STD-AIDS Center of Excellence and Training. It included new cases of TB, AIDS, and of tuberculosis-AIDS reported in the municipality of Campinas. A decrease in cases of TB until 2007 was observed, with an increase in 2008 and 2009. There was a general reduction in AIDS from 2007, but with an increase among men aged 60 or over, in the years 2007 to 2009. For tuberculosis-AIDS co-infection, the tendency was to reduce. The proportion of HIV tests not undertaken, among patients with tuberculosis, was high (27.5%). This scenario shows the need for integration of the databanks into the planning and control activities.

Johanna W. Smit studied under Jean Meyriat and Jean-Claude Gardin in France, and upon becoming a professor at the Library Science and Documentation Department of the School of Communication and Arts of the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil, introduced to it the then current developments in French Documentation, mainly those related to documentary analysis. In 1986, Professor Smit and a group of professors of USP founded TEMMA Group, a research group devoted to issues concerning document organisation and representation, which lasted for 30 years and incorporated professors of São Paulo State University. In this paper, I present to a wider public the research related to document organisation and representation that was brought about by the professors of USP from 1981, when Johanna W. Smit became a professor. I focus on the research conducted by the members of TEMMA Group, presenting key concepts developed by them, how the studies of the group still influence USP, and the reason why their developments are relevant to current document studies.

And Control

Neste artigo buscaremos demonstrar que as relações de exploração e dominação de trabalhadores migrantes em usinas de cana de açúcar não estão apenas nos espaços de trabalho, mas também, nos seus espaços de moradia. Descreveremos as relações de sociabilidade nos alojamentos, observando as hierarquias estabelecidas no processo de trabalho e os códigos de conduta que informam uma sabedoria própria para realizar a vida cotidiana. O artigo fundamenta-se em etnografia e entrevistas realizadas em um alojamento de trabalhadores migrantes, provenientes da região do Sertão de Cajazeiras, Estado da Paraíba, e que trabalham em usina na região de Piracicaba São Paulo. Está estruturado em quatro partes. A primeira parte traz reflexões sobre trabalho de campo. Na segunda parte abordaremos a contratação de trabalhadores migrantes na Usina Peperoni. Na terceira, apresentaremos os alojamentos como espaços de controle da força de trabalho e por fim faremos algumas ponderações sobre os códigos de conduta para viver no espaço transitório dos “barracos”. Palavras chave: Alojamentos. Trabalhadores Migrantes. Dominação e Resistência. Sociabilidades. Housing of worker migrants in sugarcane Mills: social spaces of domination and resistence.

The University

In this paper, the purpose is to discuss results of a continuing education action with teachers, linked to the university extension project Computational Thinking and Interdisciplinarity in the classroom, developed within the Postgraduate Program in mathematics education at Sao Paulo State University (UNESP), Rio Claro (Sao Paulo), Brazil. The development of interdisciplinary activities by teachers using Scratch software is highlighted, pointing out how this is reflected in the classroom, from the development of an interdisciplinary activity in two classes taught by the teacher of Geography, a participant of this formative action. The qualitative approach was adopted, and the methodological procedures used were video recording of the meetings, writing of field diaries, prepared by all the involved proposers, and recording of all the developed activities. Data analysis highlights how important this partnership between university and school was because it contributed to transform the knowledge of teachers, researchers, and students through the development of Computational Thinking.

The Impact

Interrupted time series analyses (ITSA) were performed to measure the impact of social distancing policies (instituted 22/03/2020) and subsequent mandatory masking in the community (instituted 04/05/2020) on the incidence and effective reproductive number (Rt) of COVID-19 in São Paulo State, Brazil. Overall, the impact of social distancing both on incidence and Rt was greater than the incremental effect of mandatory masking. Those findings may reflect either a small impact of face masking or the loosening of social distancing after mandatory use of masks.
