The Ideal

The city is primarily a public space as it is both a condition and an expression of its citizens. It is the environment where citizens can and should feel as such: free, equal and different. It is where society is performed, where it represents itself and is shown as a community that cohabitates and shows its contradictions, disputes and differences. The city is where collective memory is created and where all the different identities emerge. For this reason, this is the ideal location for Humanae. The faces of thousands of citizens crowding halls and museums to conquer the squares. From the streets of a marginalized neighborhood in Málaga - Spain, or the Rotary Praça in São Paulo - Brazil, to a building at United Nations Habitat III and the entrance of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Humanae uses public space to involve citizens from all over the planet in a global dialogue.

Lack Of Knowledge

The worldwide concern regarding sustainable urban development has been increasing as the populations of countries increase and demand more consumption of the already scarce natural resources. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that 55% of the world population lives in urban centers, with the perspective of surpassing 68% in 2050. In Brazil, 84% of the population today live in the cities. One of the goals of sustainable development is to make cities more sustainable and inclusive and, to accomplish such goal, many variables need to be accomplished, among which is the strengthening of efforts to protect and safeguard cities’ cultural heritage, for the present and future generations. Seeing as São Paulo is the 10th urban city in the world, and its historical heritage preservation policies are recent and in the process of being outlined, this research strives to answer: What are the main challenges identified by owners/managers of listed historical buildings in São Paulo, which stand in the way of conserving/preserving their properties? Results revealed that the main challenges are a lack of knowledge about what interventions can be done to the property, lack of knowledge on incentive laws and more feasible ways for the conservation of historical sites and dealing with excessive bureaucracy. Such results contribute to the implementation of urban development policies focused on the sustainable goal of safeguarding the city’s cultural heritage, in order to propitiate advancements in preserving the memory and identity of the city through the conservation of properties listed as historical heritage.

International Openness

Sejak penerapan kebijakan bebas visa wisata di Indonesia pada tahun 1983 sampai dengan tahun 2017 terlihat dominasi sektor kepariwisataan (tourism) di dalam proses pengambilan keputusan kebijakan bebas visa. Rasional utama desakan adanya kebijakan ini belakangan terlihat adanya unsur pengaruh the Travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) yang dikeluarkan oleh lembaga dunia the World Economic Forum (WEF) dan the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) untuk mendongkrak rangking Indonesia di mata dunia Indonesia dalam hal sektor kepariwisataan. Dan salah satu komponen dari alat ukur persaingan kompetisi internasional tersebut adalah international openness, dengan penilaian bahwa semakin banyak suatu negara menghilangkan restriksi untuk memasuki suatu negara maka semakin tinggi komponen penilaian TTCI. Tulisan ini secara kritis menilai bahwa perluasan kebijakan bebas visa, sudah bergeser dari titik keseimbangan kebijakan selektif keimigrasian Indonesia. Meskipun diakui bahwa ada kontribusi dari kebijakan bebas ini, namun secara makro menggiring ke dalam “perangkap” instrumen internasional yang akan merugikan kepentingan Indonesia. Bahkan analisis di dalam tulisan ini ditemukan bahwa tidak ada korelasi yang signifikan antara komponen international openness dengan peningkatan daya saing pariwisata secara agregat. Oleh karena itu, dengan menggunakan beberapa pendekatan teori ekonomi politik internasional, dan teori pembangunan internasional, tulisan ini melakukan studi kritis terhadap eksistensi pengaruh internasional terhadap kebijakan selektif keimigrasian di Indonesia, serta langkah-langkah konkret yang perlu dilakukan segera oleh Pemerintah Indonesia agar dapat terhindar dari jebakan angka dan statistik dalam berkompetisi di era neoliberal saat ini.

AbstractIn January 2020 China reported to the World Health Organization an outbreak of pneumonia of undetermined origin in the city of Wuhan, Hubei. In January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Interest (PHEI).ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of a COVID-19 epidemic in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil.MethodsWe used a generalized SEIR (Susceptibles, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) model, with additional Hospitalized variables (SEIHR model) and age-stratified structure to analyze the expected time evolution during the onset of the epidemic in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. The model allows to determine the evolution of the number of cases, the number of patients admitted to hospitals and deaths caused by COVID-19. In order to investigate the sensibility of our results with respect to parameter estimation errors we performed Monte Carlo analysis with 100 000 simulations by sampling parameter values from an uniform distribution in the confidence interval.ResultsWe estimate 1 368 (IQR: 880, 2 407) cases, 301 (22%) in older people (≥60 years), 81 (50, 143) hospitalizations, and 14 (9, 26) deaths in the first 30 days, and 38 583 (IQR: 16 698, 113, 163) cases, 8 427 (21.8%) in older people (≥60 years), 2181 (914, 6392) hospitalizations, and 397(166, 1205) deaths in the first 60 days.LimitationsWe supposed a constant transmission probability Pc among different age-groups, and that every severe and critic case will be hospitalized, as well as that the detection capacity in all the primary healthcare services does not change during the outbreak.ConclusionSupposing the reported parameters in the literature apply in the city of São Paulo, our study shows that it is expected that the impact of a COVID-19 outbreak will be important, requiring special planning from the authorities. This is the first study for a major metropolitan center in the south hemisphere, and we believe it can provide policy makers with a prognosis of the burden of the pandemic not only in Brazil, but also in other tropical zones, allowing to estimate total cases, hospitalization and deaths, in support to the management of the public health emergence caused by COVID-19.

This paper aims to analyze the possibilities and limitations of using synthetic indicators using two globally applied systems as a reference, the Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) and the City Prosperity Index-CPI. Therefore, aims to analyze two different urban realities: São Paulo (SP) and Fortaleza (CE), based on two indexes: The Municipal Human Development Index (MHDI) of the United Nations Program (PNUD) and the City Prosperity Index (CPI) started in 2012 by the United Nations Program for Human Settlements (ONU-Habitat). The MHDI is based on indicators in three dimensions: longevity, education, and family income, while the CPI measures the characteristics of the municipalities in terms of productivity, infrastructure, inclusion and social equity, quality of life, environmental sustainability, and governance and legislation. Comparative analysis of the results of indicators that reveal the limitations and potentials considered for the construction of improved systems indicators. It is noticed, from the analyzed properties, factors that go beyond the character of the indicator must be considered. Efficiency in the collection, acceptance of the target audience, and qualitative analysis must be considered in use for the adequate measurement of the actions developed in the municipal public management and for the understanding of the appropriate and social changes in the cities.

Geodiversidade é uma nova abordagem ambiental que vem sendo utilizada na compreensão das relações entre homem e território e refere-se aos elementos abióticos que compõem o meio ambiente. Rochas são a expressão mais evidente dessa geodiversidade e seu aproveitamento como material nobre em arquitetura e engenharia civil remonta às primeiras construções humanas. São um reflexo da geodiversidade disponível numa região e imprimem nos cenários construídos uma característica particular de identidade cultural. Cemitérios são um universo que possibilita o entendimento do mundo dos vivos ao longo das diferentes épocas em que foi utilizado e o Cemitério Municipal de Curitiba é o mais antigo do município, recebendo visitação de pesquisadores e interessados nos aspectos arquitetônicos, históricos, artísticos e sociológicos. Esta proposta apresenta a geodiversidade deste cemitério como uma leitura sobre a evolução no uso de materiais líticos pela sociedade curitibana. As rochas registradas são mármores importados e nacionais, granitos do Paraná e São Paulo, e rochas negras como diabásio e gabro. Outras rochas estão presentes em menor quantidade e apresentam variedade de procedências. A proposição de tombamento deste cemitério como bem cultural vem recebendo aporte de várias pesquisas e, entre elas, este levantamento é um subsídio para este processo.Palavras-chave: CEMITÉRIO, GEODIVERSIDADE, TÚMULOS, CURITIBA ABSTRACTGEODIVERSITY IN CURITIBA MUNICIPAL CEMETERY AS CULTURAL ELEMENT IN HERITAGE ANALYSIS. Geodiversity is a new environmental approach that has been used to understanding the relations between man and territory and refers to the abiotic elements that form the environment. Rocks are the most obvious expression of this geodiversity and their use as noble material in architecture and civil engineering dates back to the first human constructions. It’s a reflection of geodiversity available in a region and print in the constructed scenarios a particular characteristic of cultural identity. Cemeteries are a universe that allows the understanding of the world of the living along the different periods in which it was used and the Curitiba Municipal Cemetery is the oldest of the city, receiving visiting researchers and those interested in architectural, historical, sociological and artistic features. This proposal introduces geodiversity of this cemetery as an approach on the evolution about uses of lithic materials by Curitiba society. Rocks registered are imported and national marbles, granites from Paraná and São Paulo, and black rocks like diabase and gabbro. Other rocks are present in smaller quantities and variety of sources. The proposition of having this cemetery as cultural object has been receiving funding from various surveys and, among them, this research is a subsidy for this process.Keywords: CEMETERY, GEODIVERSITY, TOMBSTONES, CURITIBA

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.
