There is in the city of São Paulo, since its urbanization in the 19th century, the railway as a structuring element that distinguishes two regions -east and west -under physical and social aspects. Between them, it is evident the unfavorable position of the East Zone in relation to the distance from the center, being the first region to be occupied by the popular, who crossed the territory through the railroad and the great road works of the city, which, since its formation, despised the space available for pedestrians. Today, 2020, in the far east is the district of Guaianases, occupied by the low-income population who, thirty kilometers away from the center, have the train as their main means of access to the east. In addition to the low employment and quality of transportation, the neighborhood has a high percentage of workers who spend more than one hour moving house-to-work; factors that characterize the place as a dormitory neighborhood. In this context, the Station Area appears, located in the axis of neighborhood structuring and which, responsible for configuring the daily displacements of the local population, is assumed as the starting point for the transformation of its space. Therefore, surveys were conducted around the Guaianases station area which, through quantitative and qualitative analysis, made it possible to identify the temporal, physical, and social conditions of its space; in additionto the revision of the current pertinent legislation which, linked to the principles of sustainable transportation, make it possible to explore instruments and policies aimed at local development of the neighborhood and, later, the city.

Structured Questionnaire

The present study surveyed the profile of people who did or did not take part in programs and activities in primary healthcare units in the Butantã district, the city of São Paulo, Brazil. The rationale for the study was the concept of body practice understood as a practice of health and care. A semi-structured questionnaire was applied to 1090 individuals mostly middle-aged housewives. Only 5.78% of respondents were enrolled in some program and activities, mainly walking and stretching. There was a consensus between participants and non-participants on the importance of initiatives geared to care for the body and attention to health. The difficulties for having access to programs and the lack of options in the health public service were pointed out as the main obstacles for a greater involvement by local population.

e18785 Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has disrupted health care systems worldwide. In Brazil, the disease had its first case in the city of São Paulo, thus being the starting point and epicenter of this disease in Latin America. Neurological features are currently well recognized in COVID-19 indicating the neurotropic nature of the virus and include anosmia, myalgia, myositis, encephalitis, meningitis, cerebrovascular disease, Guillain–Barré syndrome, and post-infectious myelitis. CNS tumors though relatively rare (> 2% of all cancers) are a relevant source of cancer-related morbi-mortality worldwide. Although studies have reported higher COVID-19 severity in cancer patients, the consequences of the pandemic on health care for CNS tumors remain inconclusive and will probably be felt for decades. This study aimed to determine the impact of pandemic on the hospital admissions (HA) due to CNS tumors in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of the HAs due to CNS tumors in the city of São Paulo comparing the outbreak period (January-June 2020) and a pre-pandemic corresponding period of the years 2017-2019. Data were obtained from the Brazilian Unified Health System - Hospital Information System database according to the chapter II of the International Classification of Diseases - 10th revision (ICD-10). Linear regression was used to analyze the relationship between the incidence of HAs and time (months). Results: A significant reduction in HAs due to CNS tumors was observed during the outbreak period (January-June 2020). Benign neoplasm of brain and other parts of CNS (-2, CI -2 to -1) and malignant neoplasm of brain (-5, CI -7 to -3) showed to be remarkably affected (see table). To our knowledge, this is the first scientific report of significant reduction of HAs due to CNS tumors during COVID-19 era. Conclusions: Our findings seem to be associated to delayed oncological diagnose and care to CNS tumor patients during the lockdown and health system collapse. A rebound help-seeking effect as well as more severe complications may present in the post‐pandemic. Further studies are needed to evaluate the impact of the ongoing pandemic in CNS neoplasms in order to strategically corroborate public health actions for short- and long-term implications of COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract This article makes use of the constitution of (homo)sexualities and socio-spatial disputes in certain Brazilian “peripheries”. Specifically, it is the synthesis of the results of a doctoral research in anthropology concerning “peripheries”, sociabilities and disputes between homosexual men at bars situated in “peripheral” areas of the cities of São Paulo and Belém, Brazil. The starting point of the ethnography was the scrutiny of specific bars frequented by different publics, favouring the interlocutors’ handling of the manner in which they negotiate identifications and disputes, with a view to understanding the meanings and significations given to “periphery”. In this sense, the emic notion making out with the city served as a point of elucidation to qualify and materialise different modes of space production, especially in Brazilian urban “peripheries”, directly interfering in the ways in such cities are accessed and desired.

Networks Of Support

The city of São Paulo, historically important as a destination for migrants from across the world, has experienced newer waves of immigration in the past few decades. As Brazilian national legislation and municipal policies have been ill prepared to handle these recent flows, migrants find themselves without much institutional support and rely instead on other networks to find their way in the city. This article is based on ethnographic research among low-income migrants in São Paulo, many of whom are employed as tailors and garment vendors in the city’s thriving central commercial neighbourhoods. Migrants from Bolivia, Peru, China, Pakistan and Nepal co-exist alongside working-class Brazilians. This article traces the everyday forms of conviviality among these migrants who find themselves in precarious conditions in São Paulo. It will consider the lines along which friendships and networks of support and sociability are built and the depth of such relationships. It also considers the points of tension which divide people and strain potential friendships, for instance, when migrants compete to sell their goods and are exploited by ‘fellow migrants’ to survive in the city. What we see is an ambivalent field of interaction that is convivial yet competitive and distrustful.

Abstract Background The concentration of child morbidity and mortality due to pneumonia in developing countries reflects the social inequities, which lead to greater exposure to risk factors and make access to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the disease more difficult. This study aimed to map and assess the territorial risk for hospitalization due to Community-Acquired Pneumonia in children under 5 years of age. Methods Ecological study, carried out in the city of Ribeirão Preto, state of São Paulo, Brazil. The study population consisted of hospitalized children under the age of five, diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia, in Ribeirão Preto-São Paulo-Brazil, from 2012 to 2013. Data were collected in different databases, by a trained team, between March 2012 and August 2013 and from the 2010 Demographic Census of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The 956 urban census tracts were considered as the units of analysis. Descriptive statistics were performed for the sociodemographic characteristics, with the calculation of measures of absolute frequency and proportions for the categorical variables, using the Statistica software (12.0). The incidence of cases per 10,000 inhabitants was calculated by census tracts during the study period. For the identification of the spatial risk clusters, the Kernel density estimator and the Getis-Ord Gi* technique were measured from the Radius of the distance of 7,589 km, with p < .01, found using the Incremental Spatial Autocorrelation tool. Results The study included 265 children under the age of five, hospitalized due to community-acquired pneumonia. A concentration of cases was identified in the regions with greater social vulnerability (low income, poor housing conditions and homelessness), as well as a lower occurrence of cases in the most developed and economically privileged area of the city. The majority of the children lived in territories served by traditional primary healthcare units, in which the health surveillance and family and community focus are limited. Conclusions The results contribute to the comprehension of the social factors involved in child hospitalization due to pneumonia, based on the analysis of the spatial distribution, and address the interface with individual and institutional factors.

Resumo: Neste artigo, são apresentadas reflexões a partir de uma pesquisa etnográfica sobre o bairro da Vila Buarque, na região central de São Paulo. Historicamente ocupado por camadas médias e superiores da população paulistana, na última década o bairro tem vivenciado um afluxo de novos moradores hipsters (jovens de alto poder aquisitivo, vinculados a atividades profissionais tidas como criativas, alinhados a um espectro político mais progressista) e a inauguração de uma série de novos estabelecimentos comerciais (tais como bares, cafés, restaurantes e lojas de design) voltados a este perfil. Este fenômeno contraria a tendência histórica de deslocamento das elites para longe da região central da cidade, e é tomado como ponto de partida para a observação de como diversas referências globais de consumo e de modos de estar na cidade se refletem no contexto local.Palavras-chave: hipsters, cosmopolitismo, ubiquidade, consumo, cidade VILA BUARQUE BECOMES HIPSTER: GLOBAL CONCEPTS, LOCAL EFFECTS  Abstract: On this article, are discussed reflections based on an ethnographical research about Vila Buarque Neighborhood, in the central area of São Paulo. Historically occupied by middle-upper stratum of São Paulo population, over the last decade the neighborhood has become an residential option for new hipster residents (young people with high incomes, related to professional activities generally seen as creative, mostly politically progressive), and has witnessed the opening of several new businesses (such as bars, coffee shops, restaurants and design stores) targeted to these residents. This phenomenon happens in the opposite direction of the historical tendency of the elites leaving the central area of the city, and is taken as a starting point for the observation on how global references of consumption and ways of being in the city are reflected on the local context.Keywords: hipsters, cosmopolitanism, ubiquity, consumption, city

One of the major challenges for urban planning in Latin America is to provide low-income families with housing in areas that have an infrastructure and a good supply of jobs and services, thereby promoting diversity and equity, translated by mixing classes, races and social cohesion. This mission becomes increasingly difficult in a neoliberal capitalist context which transfers the task of providing land and housing for low-income families to the market and where the logic of such actions is based on achieving more rent from land and consequently of the holding of real estate becoming more profitable. This paper sets out to discuss two proposals for urban instruments that dialog with the production of housing through the market and guarantee of the right to the city. The first centered on the reserve of land for the production of social interest housing (HIS, in Portuguese) in the zoning by creating Special Social Interest Housing Zones (ZEIS, in Portuguese), spread throughout Brazil, and described here based on the experience of São Paulo. Or else, comparatively, classifying land to be used as a priority for social housing (vivienda de interés prioritário) widespread in Colombia, and here presented by the Bogota experience. There is another, which already has international experience and has recently been debated in Brazil, which consists of conceiving of the promotion of social interest housing policies based on the regulation of urban restructuring but experiences of this are rare in Brazil. These may be termed as inclusive housing policies. As a result, this article points out that the creation of alternative regulations has set the tone for the market to exclude itself  from producing housing of social interest, and guarantees greater profitability to commercial undertakings.

In Brazil, the study of materialism as deined by Belk (1985) or by Richins and Dawson (1992) has been neglected, despite its centrality in the consumer behavior literature. In this paper,two of the main materialism scales available are observed to measure this construct and to test their applicability in the context of low-income consumers in the city of São Paulo. Comparisons based on pilot samples showed that the Richins’ materialism scale (2004) is better adapted to the target population of this study than Belk’s scale (1985). Tests of the relationship between materialism and socio-demographic variables, based on a household probabilistic sample of 450 low-income consumers that live in poor neighborhoodsin the city of São Paulo, reveal coherent results with those of past studies, despite the difference in socio-demographic, economic and cultural environments. In conclusion, it is suggested that the investigation of materialism is conducted in other Brazilian social segments. Moreover, inter-cultural studies are recommended.

Sumare City does not have sewage treatment, leading to the deterioration of water resources and public health conditions. There is a sewage treatment plan for the city's urbanized area. However, difficulties of financing delay the plan's implementation. Meanwhile, new small communities of low income population are built surrounding the city. That was not foreseen in the city's plan. So, the sanitation problem is constantly aggravated. The city's Water and Wastewater Department (Departamento de A'guas e Esgotos - DAE), worried by this situation tried out a new scheme to overcome this problem. One of these communities (235 houses) was chosen and a proposal was made to its inhabitants, which was accepted, to use an anaerobic digester to treat the sewage, DAE being the financer agent and the inhabitants reimbursing DAE. The UASB technology was made available by means of an agreement between DAE-Sumare and CETESB for technology transfer. DAE was responsible for the management and plant construction. The plant was started-up in May 1992. This is a successful experience in view of the non-existence of finance for the construction of sewage systems. A 67.5 m3 UASB reactor was built. The difficulties to establish the real costs for this were extremely high, and lead to cost reduction recommendation. Data collected for performance evaluation, over a period of fourteen months showed a difference compared to the 120 m3 UASB reactor experience, at CETESB, in Sao Paulo City. The influent and effluent Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) values, are higher than were experienced at CETESB. The average removal rates of BOD, COD and TSS are also higher, respectively 80%, 74% and 87%.
