Croton floribundus(capixingui) é encontrado nos estados de Minas Gerais, São Paulo e Paraná. Face à necessidade de novos conhecimentos das propriedades desta madeira, em condições de laboratório, objetivou-se estudar a variação radial da densidade básica e as dimensões celulares desta espécie, oriunda de população natural. De cinco árvores, com DAP médio de 20,35 cm, coletou-se um disco de 7 cm de espessura na região do DAP. Estas árvores estavam localizadas no Parque Estadual da Cantareira, do Instituto Florestal do Estado de São Paulo. De cada disco foram retiradas amostras representando as posições próximo à medula, região intermediária e próximo à casca, para o estudo da variação radial, das seguintes variáveis: densidade básica; comprimento, diâmetro e frequência de vasos; altura, largura e freqüência de raios; comprimento, diâmetro, espessura da parede e lume das fibras. Os resultados indicaram que ocorreu uma tendência de aumento no diâmetro de vasos e uma diminuição na frequência de raios no sentido medula-casca, e para as demais variáveis não ocorreu a mesma tendência.Palavras-chave: Croton floribundus; células da madeira; variação radial. AbstractRadial variation of the basic density and cellular dimensions of Croton floribundus. Croton floribundus(capixingui) is found in the States of Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Paraná. In view of the necessity of new knowledge of the wood properties in laboratory conditions, this work aimed to study the radial variation of the basic density and cellular dimensions of this species. Discs from five trees with average DBH of 20,35 cm, with thickness of 7 cm, were collected at DBH height. The trees came from the Cantareira State Park, property of the Forestry Institute of Sao Paulo State. From each disc, samples were removed, representing the positions pith, intermediate and bark, to study the radial variation of the following variables: basic density; length, diameter, and vessels frequency; length, width, and rays frequency; wall length, diameter, and thickness; and lumen diameter. The results indicated that occurred an increase tendency in the vessels diameter and reduction in the ray frequency from the pith to the bark; the other variables did not show this trend.Keywords:Croton floribundus; wood cells; pith-bark variation.

The Zona da Mata region is located in southeastern Minas Gerais State, Brazil with fauna and flora diversified, including herbivorous insects and Solanaceae plants. Ithomiinae caterpillars were observed damaging tree of Solanum granuloso-leprosum Dunal (Solanaceae), used for different purposes and abundant in secondary forest. The objective of this study was to identify defoliating caterpillars of S. granuloso-leprosum at the campus of Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV) in Viçosa, Minas Gerais State, Brazil and review host plants of Mechanitis polymnia L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Thirteen caterpillars found damaging a tree of S. granuloso-leprosum at the campus of UFV were collected and maintained in the Laboratório de Controle Biológico de Insetos (LCBI) from UFV until adult emergence. These caterpillars were of two species, being ten of the first and three of the second species. Adult specimens of the latter species were identified as Ithomia lichyi lichyi D'Almeida, 1939 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Departamento de Zoologia of Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) in Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil and of the group of ten caterpillars as Mechanitis polymnia casabranca Haensch, 1905 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in the Museu de Zoologia of Universidade de São Paulo (USP) in São Paulo State, Brazil. This is the first report of M. polymnia casabranca and I. lichyi lichyi together damaging plant of S. granuloso-leprosum in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais State, Brazil and 57 plants are recorded as host of M. polymnia.

Croton josephinus Müll.Arg., a member of Croton sect. Medea (Klotzsch) Baill. (Euphorbiaceae), has not been recollected since 1824, nor mentioned in the literature since its original publication in 1873. This species has recently been rediscovered in a campo rupestre area at the ‘Pico 1430 m’ of the Serra de São José, Minas Gerais, after 20 years of field work in the area. In the protologue Croton josephinus was cited as having been collected from São Paulo State. This is likely to have been a simple misattribution of the area where it occurs. Based on the new material collected, a detailed description and an illustration of the species are provided. A lectotype and an isolectotype are designated.

Abstract In this article, the concept of socio-environmental vulnerability is empirically operationalized, with the objective of analyzing situations of socio-environmental vulnerability on intra-urban scale, in a group of 62 municipalities in the three main metropolitan regions of the Macro-metropolis of São Paulo State. The methodology associates two concepts from the recent literature on vulnerability - one social and the other physical-environmental - through an index that integrates socio-demographic indicators from the 2010 Demographic Census with cartographies of areas susceptible to floods and landslides. The results show that 1.8 million people live in areas with high socio-environmental vulnerability that have significantly worse socioeconomic conditions than areas with low and moderate vulnerability, especially regarding the differences in sewage coverage, in the surroundings of households and in the population living in substandard settlements (slums).

Aim: In this study we described the causes of mortality in Brazil, its 5 geographic regions, and in the most populated cities of Sao Paulo State in order to contribute for development of prevention and intervention strategies. Methods: Data on causes of death and age distribution of the populations were collected from online public databases and then submitted to the 2001 World Health Organization age standardization of rates for better assessment. Results: Data showed that the main causes of death in Brazil and in all 5 geographic regions were diseases of the circulatory system. Neoplasms were the second most frequent cause of death in Brazil and in 3 regions (South, Southeast and Midwest). However, in the other 2 regions (North and Northeast) the second most common was associated to external causes, being neoplasms the third most often. Additionally, in the South and Southeast the third cause of deaths were from diseases of the respiratory system and from the external causes occupied the fourth position. Analyzing the most populated cities of Sao Paulo State it was observed that all of them have the same profile of the country. On the other hand, as speculated previously, in Piracicaba city, the most common cause of mortality was neoplasm. Conclusions: These findings showed that Brazil has a large spectrum of causes of death and methods to decrease the mortality rates should be implemented in a local scenario rather than a nation-wide approach, where each location has to focus on its most urging problem.

No interior paulista foram encontrados vestígios de uma cultura designada por antropólogos brasileiros como “caipira”. Embora descaracterizada por outros componentes culturais, é possível decifrar suas origens nas expressões linguística, artística e religiosa. Seu território, denominado “Paulistânia”, abarcou a região atribuída à Capitania do Sul, englobando partes dos estados de Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Paraná e o atual estado de São Paulo. O conhecimento das condições de mobilidade e permanência, associado ao longo processo de delimitação das fronteiras e implantação de cidades, moldou este ser humano que vivia em pequenas unidades de subsistência. Desta forma, o artigo reflete sobre como o modo de ser do caipira entende, define e constrói o sentimento de pertencimento ao lugar, mais especificamente, ao bairro rural, tendo como intuito averiguar que a sua noção de lugar não está apenas associada ao espaço físico, mas a uma ampla rede comunitária manifesta em suas narrativas, como no canto do cururu, ampliando a discussão sobre o lugar fenomenológico.Palavras-chave: Bairros rurais. Construção simbólica do espaço. Cultura tradicional. Territorialidade.Caipira’s territorialities: being and identity of placeAbstractIn small towns and rural areas of São Paulo state are found traces of the “caipira”, a pesant culture so designated by anthropologists. Although somewhat decharacterized, its origin can be studied from linguistic, artistic and religious practices where the cultural repertory of this local man reaches its roots in the colonial period. Its territory, called "Paulistânia" covers the South Captaincy, with parts of the states of Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso, Goiás, Paraná and the current São Paulo state. Territorial notions of mobility and permanence associated to border delimitation and city settlements modulated this human being that dwelt in small subsistence farming units.  This article discusses caipira’s way of life manifested in the cultural landscape by cooperative practices, religious festivals and artistic expressions as place features molding belongingness to district and community. In this sense it reflects the notion of place in a wide network of sociability and common life contained in narratives, bringing discussion to the phenomenology of space perception.Keywords: Rural districts. Symbolic space construction. Traditional culture. Territoriality.

AbstractThis study was carried out with groups of extractivists of mangrove oysters in the estuary of Cananéia, São Paulo State, Brazil, between the years 1999 and 2007 with the objective to evaluate and compare trends in the sustainability of this activity, in a multidimensional and integrated way, in social, economic, ecological, technological and ethical dimensions, using the method RAPFISH. The different groups had distinct trends related to sustainability and the social, technological and ethical dimensions had more influence on trends in sustainability than the ecological and economic dimensions. The group with the best performance in the sustainability assessment was Mandira, due to advances promoted by local social organization. On the other hand, the Porto Cubatão group showed the worst performance, once this is very recent group in the extractivism of oysters. The RAPFISH proved to be a useful tool for data assessment.

The aim in this study was to analyze differences between children’s performances on the Bender – Sistema de Pontuação Gradual (B-SPG) [Gradual Scoring System] in the states of Minas Gerais and Paraíba, and to compare them with the results presented in the test manual. The participants were 511 children, both sexes, aged 6-10 years ( M = 8.21, SD = 1.33), and 50.7% male. The children were from two states, Minas Gerais ( n = 298, 58.3%) and Paraiba ( n = 213, 41.7%). The SPG was administered collectively in classrooms. The mean B-SPG scores between the children from Minas Gerais and Paraiba were very similar and not statistically significant. Regarding the comparison between the two states and the normative sample, three results were significant, two of which favored the children from São Paulo and the other the children from Minas Gerais and Paraíba, showing little variation in the results of the B-SPG.
