What follows is half an interview, half a passionate first-person report made by and with Professor Reinier Johannes Antonius Rozestraten, with the aim of remembering and telling his years at Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo, Brazil). He begins some time before, remembering how and when he arrived to Brazil, and what have been his first activities, and goes until more recent years, after his official retirement. Language is free and the whole text is a result of dialogues that were transcribed and edited with as few interferences as possible. The interviews were planned as part of another research project, but it is ended now, due to the death of Professor Reinier. Anyway, they constitute a very deserved homage to an important consolidator and immortal witness of brazilian psychology.

Cuidado com os poetas! Literatura e periferia na cidade de São Paulo shows how urban peripheral communities of the city, often all referred to erroneously as favelas in the media, are spaces where cultural and literary production flourish. A professor of literature at the University of Buenos Aires with a background in anthropology, Tennina combines literary analysis with first-person interviews to effectively counter popular discourses that associate these communities solely with criminality and drug trafficking.

In the list of 105 pilgrimage sites in Brazil, 12 are located in the State of São Paulo. The Basilica (or Sanctuary) of Our Lady Aparecida, in Aparecida do Norte (São Paulo), is the largest pilgrimage center in Brazil and has received more than 12 million visitors per year in the last three years. In the Vale do Paraíba (State of São Paulo), of the 41 million tourists, 18 million were concentrated in the Religious Circuit. The main objective of this chapter is to discuss the proposal for the creation of a research project by the Postgraduate Program in Tourism of the School of Arts, Sciences, and Humanities (EACH) of the University of São Paulo (USP), which contributes to the productive chain of religious tourism, which impact the social, cultural, economic, and human development of the State of São Paulo (Brazil). The creation of the website of the Religious Cultural Tourism Observatory of the State of São Paulo would be one of the main dissemination strategies and a relevant indicator of the evaluation of the results of the research project.

AbstractIn this study, part of a research project on Chagas disease among residents of Bolivia in São Paulo, we describe socioeconomic characteristics, knowledge about the disease and access to health services. A structured questionnaire was applied to a sample of 472 Bolivian adults (> 18 years) living in São Paulo enrolled in the Barra Funda School Health Center. The median age of participants was 28.5 years, 75.0% from the Bolivian department of La Paz, who were living in São Paulo for an average of 5.8 years. Regarding knowledge about the disease and exposure to certain risk factors, 47.7% indicated familiarity with the vector, 23.9% had seen vinchuca in their homes in Bolivia and 6.4% reported having been bitten by a triatomine. The conditions of living in rural areas in Bolivia or in other department than La Paz, have a relative with illness, high school graduation and have seen or been bitten by a vinchuca were significantly associated with the knowledge of the vector. This study provides a view on migration that has important implications for the distribution of Chagas’ disease and access to health care by providing subsidies for proposing public health policies.Author summaryThis article expresses part of the results of a research project called “Chagas disease in a population of Bolivian immigrants in São Paulo: an analysis of the prevalence ofTrypanosoma cruziinfection and morbidity of Chagas disease, knowledge of the population about the disease and access to different levels of health care”. The problem of chronic Chagas disease occurs in many countries, including those not considered endemic, as a result of population movements, mainly by immigration due to urbanization which has led to its globalization. It is now considered an emerging disease with significant potential for transmission via blood transfusions, organ transplants and congenital via, in the absence of appropriate strategies in terms of public health, as well as reactivation of chronic disease in urban centers. It’s no different this phenomenon to the city of Sao Paulo. This study analyzed the sociodemographic inserts, labor, migration and knowledge about Chagas disease and its impact on personal, family and professional life of Bolivian immigrants living in São Paulo.

We report the seminal contributions of both Dr. Arthur Moses (Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Rio de Janeiro), in 1911, and Dr. Oswaldo Lange (Faculdade de Medicina da USP, São Paulo), in 1940, to the diagnosis of neurocysticercosis (NC). Moses was the first person to report an immunologically based method for the diagnosis of NC, whereas Lange reported the cerebrospinal features of NC.

This article examines the development process of the documentary film Passages: Travelling in and out of Film through Brazilian Geography (Lúcia Nagib and Samuel Paiva, 2019) that emerged from a research project on intermediality and cinema. Passages uses an intermedial perspective to approach films which have been produced in Recife and São Paulo since the beginning of the Retomada do Cinema Brasileiro (Brazilian Film Revival) in the mid-1990s, and analyses their connections with other media. Particular focus is given to works created in Recife within the Árido Movie movement, such as Baile perfumado (Perfumed Ball, Paulo Caldas and Lírio Ferreira, 1996), which unveils a whole set of intermedial connections between cinema and music.

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.
